Upon the consummation of the Business Combination by way of a Reverse Recapitalization, the Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. The Company has no Preferred Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2023. 22 (b) Redeemable non-controlling interests Series P1 and P2 Preferred stock represents the minority preferred stockholder’s ownership in the Indian subsidiary of the Company which is classified as a redeemable non- controlling interest, because it is redeemable on a deemed liquidation event that is outside of its control. The redeemable non-controlling interest is not accreted to redemption value because it is currently not probable that the non-controlling interest will become redeemable. The Company do not attribute the pro rata share of the Indian subsidiary’s loss to the redeemable non-controlling interests because these shares are entitled to a liquidation preference and therefore do not participate in losses that would cause their interest to be below the liquidation preference. Upon liquidation, these preferred stocks are entitled to the greater of either (i) the original issue price for such series plus any dividend declared but unpaid thereon, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of such series been converted into common stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution, winding up or deemed liquidation event. There was no further issue of preferred stock in the Indian subsidiary after initial issuance and on the closing of the Reverse Recapitalization, these Redeemable non-controlling interests have been converted into Common Stock of the Company at the Exchange Ratio of 0.0284. | 21(a) Preferred Stock Voting Each holder of outstanding shares of preferred stock will be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which the shares of preferred stock held by such holder are convertible.

The remaining conditions of the warrants to be converted into preferred stock are similar to the conditions of the warrants to be converted into common stock. The Company’s warrants to purchase convertible preferred stock are classified as a liability on the consolidated balance sheets and held at fair value because the warrants are exercisable for contingently redeemable preferred stock, which is classified outside of stockholders’ deficits. The convertible preferred stock warrant liability is subject to remeasurement at the end of each reporting period, and changes in the fair value of the warrant liability are reflected in other income and expense, net in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. See Note 31, Fair value measurements. Exercise of warrants Warrants issued on March 17, 2016 to an individual to purchase common stock of the Company have been exercised by a net exercise option during the year ended March 31, 2022.

In June 2019, the Company’s Indian subsidiary issued unsecured 18 percent Optionally Convertible Debentures (OCD) to investors amounting to $3,704,487. The OCD’s may be converted to Series P2 preferred stock of Company’s Indian subsidiary through the automatic conversion route in the event of qualified financing or through the voluntary conversion route in any other case. The conversion would happen at a price which would be lower of (i) 80% of the price per share paid by the other purchaser of the equity securities in a qualified financing or non-qualified financing and (ii) a price per share equal to USD 350,000,000 divided by the fully-diluted outstanding shares. The above OCD was classified as liability and measured at fair value with changes in fair value reported in the statement of operations and comprehensive losses under finance cost. On February 02, 2021, the Company’s Indian subsidiary issued 149,986 Series P2 preferred stock in exchange of 18% Optionally Convertible Debentures (OCD) at $1.7814 per share aggregating to $4,936,418 as per the terms of the OCD subscription agreement. Series P1 and P2 Preferred stock represents the minority preferred stockholders ownership in the Indian subsidiary of the Company which is classified as a redeemable non-controlling interest, because it is redeemable on a deemed liquidation event that is outside of its control. The redeemable non-controlling interest is not accreted to redemption value because it is currently not probable that the non-controlling interest will become redeemable. Redemption event On completion of an initial public offering (IPO) of the Company, the Company or its Indian subsidiary will be obligated to redeem Zoomcar India securities in three instalments if the exchange of Series P1 and P2 shares to Series C and Series D preferred stock does not take place : (i) one-third of the securities at the IPO price (net of underwriting discounts) within 30 days following the IPO, (ii) one-third one year after the IPO at a price determined on the basis of a 12-month trailing average closing price; and (iii) the remainder two years after the IPO at a price determined in the same manner.

As a result of financial restrictions imposed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), certain Indian investors (including one of the largest investor in the Company) could not invest directly in the Series C preferred stock and Series D preferred stock of the Company but instead invested in the Company’s Indian subsidiary. Series P1 preferred stock and Series P2 preferred stock (collectively, Zoomcar India securities) is convertible into Series C preferred stock and Series D preferred stock, respectively, subject to approval of RBI.
