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

As previously disclosed, on August 19, 2022, GigInternational1, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), issued a non-convertible unsecured promissory note (the “Extension Note”) in the principal amount of $200,000.00 to GigInternational1 Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The Sponsor deposited such funds into the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”), as described in the prospectus filed by the Company in connection with the Company’s initial public offering. The Extension Note was issued in connection with the approval of the amendments to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Investment Management Trust Agreement, each amended to provide the Company with an extension (the “Extension”) of the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination transaction from August 21, 2022 (the date which is 15 months from the closing date of the Company’s initial public offering of units) on a monthly basis up to February 21, 2023, and constituted the first monthly contribution as previously disclosed in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 8, 2022.

On September 19, 2022, in connection with the second monthly contribution, the Sponsor deposited an additional $200,000.00 into the Trust Account, and the Company amended and restated the original Extension Note dated August 19, 2022 to include the aggregate of both the first and second monthly contribution amounts.

The Extension Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the consummation of a business combination by the Company.

A copy of the Extension Note is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The disclosure as set forth in this Item 2.03 is intended to be a summary only and is qualified in its entirely by reference to such Extension Note.
