Non-Redemption Agreement

On July 14, 2023, July 17, 2023, July 18, 2023 and July 19, 2023, Portage Fintech Acquisition Corporation (the "Company") and PFTA I LP, an Ontario limited partnership (the "Sponsor"), entered into non-redemption agreements (each, a "Non-Redemption Agreement") with certain unaffiliated third parties (each, a "Holder," and collectively, the "Holders") in exchange for the Holder or Holders agreeing either not to request redemption in connection with the Extension (as defined below) or to reverse any previously submitted redemption demand in connection with the Extension with respect to an aggregate of approximately 2 million Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Class A ordinary shares"), of the Company sold in its initial public offering (the "IPO") at the extraordinary general meeting called by the Company to, among other things, approve an 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 from 24 months from the completion of the Company's IPO to 36 months from the completion of the Company's IPO or such earlier date as is determined by the board of directors of the Company to be in the best interests of the Company (the "Extension"). In consideration of the foregoing agreement, immediately prior to, and substantially concurrently with, the closing of an initial business combination, (i) the Sponsor (or its designees or transferees) will surrender and forfeit to the Company for no consideration an aggregate of approximately 0.6 million shares of the Company's Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, held by the Sponsor (the "Forfeited Shares") and (ii) the Company shall issue to the Holders a number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the Forfeited Shares.

The foregoing description of the Non-Redemption Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Non-Redemption Agreement filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
