Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 6-K filing covers the month of August 2025, with a specific reporting date of August 8, 2025. Currenc Group Inc., a foreign private issuer headquartered in Singapore, reports two material events: a debt settlement agreement with its founder and largest shareholder, and an adverse judgment in ongoing Singapore litigation involving its subsidiary, Seamless Group Inc.
Key Financial Metrics and Material Changes
The filing does not provide standard financial statements (revenue, profit, cash flow, or margins) for the period. However, it discloses significant balance sheet and liability impacts:
- Debt Settlement: The Company agreed to settle approximately US$54,550,612.30 in outstanding indebtedness owed to its founder (Alexander King Ong Kong) and Regal Planet Limited.
- Equity Issuance: To satisfy this debt, the Company will issue 35,653,995 ordinary shares at a price of US$1.53 per share.
- Litigation Liability: The Company and its affiliates face a joint and several liability of US$23,952,480.00 plus late payment charges following a summary judgment in Singapore High Court.
- Legal Costs: The Company is liable for court costs totaling approximately S$58,014.53 (S$30,514.53 in initial costs and S$20,000 in appeal costs).
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Debt Settlement Conditions: The share issuance is contingent upon shareholder approval, which the Company aims to secure by September 30, 2025. If not obtained, additional shareholder meetings will be convened at 30-day intervals. The shares will be issued as restricted securities under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
Litigation Status: The Singapore High Court dismissed the Company's appeals on August 6, 2025. The Defendants have until August 20, 2025, to file a final appeal to the appellate court. The Company is currently assessing the impact and discussing with GEA Limited (the primary obligor) whether GEA or its equity holders can satisfy the judgment without recourse to the Company.
Risks: The filing highlights risks related to the dilution of existing shareholders due to the share issuance and the potential financial impact of the litigation judgment if the final appeal fails or if the Company is required to satisfy the debt.
Investor Verification Checklist

- Monitor the status of the final appeal in the Singapore litigation due by August 20, 2025.
