Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 31, 2023, SHUAA Partners Acquisition Corp I (the “Company”) issued a promissory note (the “Working Capital Note”) in the principal amount of up to $1,000,000 to SHUAA SPAC Sponsor I LLC (the “Sponsor”) to fund the Company’s ongoing working capital needs. The Working Capital Note bears no interest and is due and payable upon the date on which the Company’s initial business combination is consummated. If the Company does not consummate an initial business combination by June 4, 2024, the Working Capital Note will not be repaid and all amounts owed thereunder will be forgiven except to the extent that the Company has funds available outside of its trust account.

The issuance of the Promissory 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 Promissory Note, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

On August 31, 2023, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) received notice from the Sponsor of the Sponsor’s request to extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from September 4, 2023 for an additional month to October 4, 2023 (the “September 2023 Extension”). The Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended (the “Articles”) provides the Company the right to extend the Termination Date by an initial three months and then, without another shareholder vote, on a monthly basis up to nine times by an additional one month, from June 4, 2023 (the “Original Termination Date”) to up to June 4, 2024, or a total of up to twelve months after the Original Termination Date. On August 31, 2023, the Board approved the September 2023 Extension and authorized the Company to reply to the Sponsor with a written request to draw down $70,000 for the September 2023 Extension under that certain promissory note dated June 1, 2023, by and between the Company and the Sponsor and originally filed as an exhibit to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 5, 2023. In connection with the September 2023 Extension, the Sponsor, on behalf of the Company, has deposited $70,000 into the Company’s trust account.
