Entry into a Merger Agreement

On July 9, 2025, Plutus Financial Group Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (“Plutus”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and between Plutus and Choco Up Group Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (the “Choco Up”).

Choco Up is a Singapore-headquartered fintech company specializing in revenue-based and growth capital financing. Choco Up offers financing options for businesses at various stages, from start-ups to established and public companies with the major market presence in Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and Malaysia.

The Merger

The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, the following transactions will occur (together with the other agreements and transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”), and in accordance with the Cayman Companies Act, as amended:

The Merger. Plutus will incorporate a wholly owned subsidiary in the Cayman Islands, named “Coders Merger Sub Limited” (“Merger Sub”). Merger Sub will merge with and into Choco Up, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease, and Choco Up will be the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Plutus (the “Merger”).

Merger Consideration. Upon consummation of the Merger (the “Closing”), among other things, Plutus will acquire all outstanding equity interests in Choco Up in exchange for a mixture of newly issued Class A ordinary shares of Plutus (the “New Class A Shares”) and newly issued Class B ordinary shares of Plutus (the “New Class B Shares,” and the New Class B Shares together with the New Class A Shares, the “New Ordinary Shares”) in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933.

The Merger values Plutus at an equity value at US$30,700,000 on a fully-diluted basis, and values Choco Up at an equity value at US$85,000,000 on a fully-diluted basis. [Upon the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), all of the issued and outstanding equity of Choco Up will be exchange for 37,043,500 of the Class A Ordinary Shares and 5,456,500 Class B Ordinary Shares] (the “Merger Consideration”). [Choco Up to confirm the description of Merger Consideration]

Change of Name. Upon the Effective Time, Plutus will be renamed “Choco Up International Holdings Limited”.

The board of directors of Plutus has unanimously (i) approved and declared advisable the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) resolved to recommend approval of the Merger Agreement and related matters by the shareholders of Plutus.

Redesignation and Cancellation of Shares;

On the Closing Date, immediately before the Effective Time, Plutus shall cause its memorandum and articles of association to be amended and restated in such form as shall be mutually agreed upon between Choco Up and Plutus (the “Plutus A&R MAA”).
