Currenc Group Inc.

With this appointment, Currenc Group’s audit committee now consists of Eng Ho Ng (Chair), Eric Weinstein, and Kevin Chen. The board has determined that each member of the audit committee meets the independence requirements set by the Securities and Exchange Commission and Nasdaq.

According to the company, there are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Chen and any other person relating to his selection as a director or his appointment to the audit committee. Mr. Chen does not have any family relationships with any director or executive officer of Currenc Group, and there are no transactions requiring disclosure under Item 7.B of Form 20-F.
