Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 19, 2024, Roadzen Inc. (the “Company”) issued a convertible debenture in the principal amount of $500,000 to Supurna VedBrat (the “VedBrat Debenture”), a director of the Company, for a purchase price equal to the principal amount of the VedBrat Debenture. The VedBrat Debenture was issued pursuant to the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2023 (the “SPA”), among the Company and the investors party thereto from time to time (collectively, the “Investors”). Also on January 19, 2024, Ms. VedBrat became a party to the SPA and entered into a letter agreement with the Company (the “Letter Agreement”) with respect to her investment in the Company pursuant to the VedBrat Debenture.
Pursuant to the terms of the SPA, the Company may issue and sell an aggregate of up to $50 million in principal amount of convertible debentures (collectively, including the VedBrat Debenture, the “Debentures”), on a private placement basis (collectively, the “Private Placement”). The Company held an initial closing of the Private Placement, at which it received $400,000 in proceeds, on December 15, 2023, and may sell additional Debentures at additional closings from time to time. The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the Private Placement for working capital and general corporate purposes. The SPA contains certain representations and warranties customary for similar transactions. In addition, the Company has agreed to file, within 30 days of closing, a registration statement with the Securities Exchange Commission to register for resale the ordinary shares, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), issuable upon conversion of the Debentures, subject to certain conditions.
The Debentures issued pursuant to the SPA bear interest, in arrears, at a rate of 13% per annum, payable semi-annually commencing on June 15, 2024, and matures on December 15, 2025. Interest is payable in kind, subject to the right of the Company to make any interest payments in cash. The Debentures are convertible into the Company’s Ordinary Shares, at the election of the holder at any time at an initial conversion price of $10.00 per Ordinary Share (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like. In addition, if the average volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the 30 trading days immediately preceding December 15, 2024 (the “Average VWAP”) is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, the Conversion Price will be adjusted to an amount equal to such Average VWAP, subject to a floor of 85% of the Conversion Price then in effect. The Company has the right to require the Debentures to be converted into Ordinary Shares if the closing price of the Common Stock exceeds 130% of the then-applicable Conversion Price for any 20 trading days within a consecutive 30 trading day-period. Holders of the Debentures have the right to require the Company to repurchase the Debentures for a price equal to 101% of the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures, plus any accrued but unpaid interest, in the event of a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Debentures).
The indebtedness evidenced by the Debentures is subordinate to all other indebtedness of the Company. The Company has agreed in the Debentures that it will not, while the Debentures remain outstanding, incur additional indebtedness other than indebtedness (i) evidenced by other Debentures, (ii) senior to the Debentures in an aggregate principal amount of no more than $50 million and (iii) pari passu or junior to the Debentures in an aggregate principal amount of no more than $50 million. The Debentures contain customary events of default, including defaults in payment or performance that remain uncured after specified cure periods and certain events of bankruptcy.
Pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement, the Company has (i) granted Ms. VedBrat certain most favored nations rights with respect to future issuances of securities while the VedBrat Debenture is outstanding and (ii) agreed to issue to Ms. VedBrat, within 90 days of funding of the VedBrat Debenture, warrants to purchase a number of Ordinary Shares equal in value as of December 15, 2023 to ten percent (10%) of the original principal balance of the VedBrat Debenture, at an exercise price of $8.50 per share. The Company entered into a substantially similar letter agreement with the Investor that purchased Debentures at the initial closing under the SPA.
The foregoing descriptions of the SPA, the Debentures and the Letter Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entireties by reference to the full text of the SPA, the form of Debentures and the Letter Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 4.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The description of the Debentures contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 2.03.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information included in Item 1.01 of this Current Report is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02 of this Current Report to the extent required. The Debentures and the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion thereof, as well as the warrants to be
issued pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement and the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise thereof, have been offered and sold pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, afforded by Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, for the sale of securities not involving a public offering.

5

Since the earlier of (a) such time as such Investor was first contacted by the Company or any other Person acting on behalf of the Company regarding the transactions contemplated hereby or (b) thirty (30) days prior to the date hereof, neither such Investor nor any Affiliate of such Investor which (x) had knowledge of the transactions contemplated hereby, (y) has or shares discretion relating to such Investor’s investments or trading or information concerning such Investor’s investments, including in respect of the Securities, or (z) is subject to such Investor’s review or input concerning such Affiliate’s investments or trading (collectively, “Trading Affiliates”) has, directly or indirectly, effected or agreed to effect any short sale, whether or not against the box, established any “put equivalent position” (as defined in Rule 16a−1(h) under the 1934 Act) with respect to the Common Stock, granted any other right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to the Common Stock or with respect to any security that includes, relates to or derived any significant part of its value from the Common Stock or otherwise sought to hedge its position in the Securities (each, a “Prohibited Transaction”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Investor that is a multimanager investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Investor’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Investor’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement, such Investor has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with the Contemplated Transactions (including the existence and terms of the Contemplated Transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to the identification of the availability of, or securing of, available shares to borrow in order to effect any short sales or similar transactions in the future. Such Investor acknowledges that the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Section 5.12 are being made for the benefit of the Investors as well as the Company and that each of the other Investors shall have an
6

Such Investor is not (i) a person or entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC (“OFAC List”), or a person or entity prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program, (ii) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515, or (iii) a non-U.S. shell bank or providing banking services indirectly to a non-U.S. shell bank. Such Investor agrees to provide law enforcement agencies, if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law, provided that such Investor is permitted to do so under applicable law.

Section 5311 et seq.), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (, and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), such Investor maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. To the extent required, such Investor maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List. To the extent required, such Investor maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by such Investor and used to purchase the Debentures were legally derived.
6. Registration Rights. The Company agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days after each Closing, the Company will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement, or an amendment to a previously-filed registration statement (as applicable, a “Registration Statement”) registering the resale of the Conversion Shares underlying the Debentures sold at such Closing, and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof; provided, however, that the Company’s obligations to include each Investor’s Conversion Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon such Investor furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding such Investor, the securities of the Company held by such Investor and the intended method of disposition of such Investor’s Conversion Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Conversion Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations.
7.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by a party hereto without the prior written consent of the Company or the Required Consent of the Investors, as applicable; provided, however, that an Investor may assign its rights and delegate its duties hereunder in whole or in part to an Affiliate or to a third party acquiring some or all of the Securities in a transaction complying with applicable securities laws without the prior written consent of the Company or the other Investors. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective permitted successors and assigns of the parties.

7

Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption
9
that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that each of the Investors has been provided with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Investors and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Investor.
