Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Stock Purchase Agreement and Convertible Promissory Note

As previously reported in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 14, 2025, Alset Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amended term sheet (the “Amended Term Sheet”) on May 8, 2025, with Chan Heng Fai (the “Seller”), the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer and largest stockholder of the Company. Pursuant to the Amended Term Sheet, the Company agreed to purchase from the Seller all of the issued and outstanding shares of New Energy Asia Pacific Inc. (“NEAPI”), a corporation incorporated in the State of Nevada. NEAPI owns 41.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of New Energy Asia Pacific Company Limited (“New Energy”), a Hong Kong corporation.

On May 22, 2025, pursuant to the terms of the Amended Term Sheet, the Company and the Seller entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) to purchase from the Seller all of the outstanding shares of NEAPI for a purchase price of $83,000,000 in the form of a promissory note convertible into newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Convertible Note”). The Convertible Note shall have an interest rate of 1% per annum. Under the terms of the Convertible Note, the Seller may convert any outstanding principal and interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at $3.00 per share upon ten (10) days’ notice prior to maturity of the Convertible Note five (5) years from the date of the Term Sheet, and upon maturity of the Convertible Note any outstanding principal and accrued interest accrued thereunder will automatically be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion rate.

The closing of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Convertible Note will be subject to certain customary closing conditions, including the approval of the stockholders holding a majority of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.

New Energy focuses on distributing all-electric versions of special-purpose and transportation vehicles, charging stations and batteries. The Company intends for this to be a strategic move, in line with the Company’s commitment to advancing sustainable and eco-friendly solutions for the future. The Seller is a member of the Board of Directors of New Energy, and is a stockholder of New Energy.

The Company’s Board of Directors has received a fairness opinion reflecting that the transaction is fair to the Company’s stockholders from a financial point of view. The Stock Purchase Agreement has been approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Seller and his son, Chan Tung Moe, who is also a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, recused themselves from all deliberation and voting regarding this acquisition, the Amended Term Sheet, the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Convertible Note.

The foregoing is a summary only and does not purport to be complete. It is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Stock Purchase Agreement and Convertible Note, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

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

The information contained in Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information included in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K relating to the Company’s Stock Purchase Agreement is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.02. In connection with the issuance of the common stock of the Company which may be issued upon the conversion of the Convertible Note, the Company relied upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for transactions not involving a public offering.
