Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 19, 2023, Innovative International Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the "EGM") for the purpose of considering and voting on the Charter Amendment and the Trust Agreement Amendment (each as defined below) and, if presented, the proposal to adjourn the EGM to a later date.

At the EGM, the shareholders of the Company approved the amendment to the Company's investment management trust agreement, dated as of October 26, 2021, by and between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (the "Trust Agreement Amendment"). Pursuant to the Trust Agreement Amendment, the Company will deposit into the Company's trust account (the "Trust Account"), for each one-month extension, the lesser of (a) $165,000 and (b) $0.055 for each public share outstanding after giving effect to any redemptions in connection with the solicitation of shareholder approval at the EGM.

The foregoing description of the Trust Agreement Amendment is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Trust Agreement Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

In connection with the Trust Agreement Amendment, Innovative International Sponsor I LLC (the "Sponsor") has agreed to make available to the Company an aggregate amount of up to US$990,000 to be used only for expenses accrued in connection with the extension of the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination, pursuant to a promissory note in favor of the Sponsor (the "Note"). The Note is non-convertible and bears no interest, and the principal balance is payable by the Company on the Maturity Date, as defined in the Note. The issuance of the Note was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Note, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

At the EGM, the shareholders of the Company approved an amendment (the "Charter Amendment") to the Company's Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination up to six (6) times for an additional one (1) month each time from January 29, 2023 to July 29, 2023 (which is 21 months from the closing of the Company's initial public offering). Under Cayman Islands law, the Charter Amendment took effect upon approval by the shareholders. The Company plans to file the Charter Amendment with the Cayman Islands General Registry within 15 days of the EGM.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Charter Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On January 19, 2023, the Company held the EGM for the purposes of considering and voting upon the Charter Amendment, the Trust Agreement Amendment and, if presented, the proposal to adjourn the EGM to a later date. As of the record date of December 7, 2022, there were a total of 32,110,000 ordinary shares, including 24,060,000 Class A ordinary shares and 8,050,000 Class B ordinary shares, issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the EGM. There were 29,586,701 ordinary shares present at the EGM in person or represented by proxy, or approximately 92% of the total shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the EGM, representing a quorum.

The Charter Amendment was approved by a special resolution of the Company's shareholders, and received the following votes:





   For       Against   Abstain
28,005,693   426,128   397,591

The Trust Agreement Amendment was approved by ordinary resolution of the Company's shareholders, and received the following votes:





   For       Against   Abstain
28,005,693   426,128      0

The adjournment proposal was not presented to the shareholders because there were sufficient votes to approve the Charter Amendment and the Trust Agreement Amendment.

In connection with the EGM, shareholders holding 19,949,665 public shares exercised their right to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Company's Trust Account. As a result, approximately $206.5 million (approximately $10.35 per public share redeemed) will be removed from the Trust Account to pay such holders and approximately $31.5 million will remain in the Trust Account. Following redemptions, the Company will have 3,050,335 public shares outstanding.
