PART I

Diginex is incorporated as an exempt company with limited liability in the Cayman Islands. Diginex is a holding company which conducts its business through various subsidiaries. Diginex Solutions (HK) Limited (“DSL”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Diginex, is incorporated in Hong Kong. DSL owns two subsidiaries: Diginex Services Limited, a company incorporated in the United Kingdom and Diginex USA LLC, a company incorporated in Delaware, USA. Diginex formed Diginex MENA Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary, incorporated in Abu Dhabi, on September 26, 2025, in an effort to expand Diginex’ s operations into the Middle East market.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, Diginex expanded its business through the acquisition of three companies.

On October 3, 2025, Diginex Limited acquired Matter DK ApS, a company incorporated in Denmark (“Matter”) which is in the business of ESG and sustainability data analytics to aid financial institutions and investors integrate responsible investing practices into their portfolios.

On January 7, 2026, Diginex Limited acquired The Remedy Project, a business incorporated in Hong Kong (“TRP”) which is in the business of advising companies and governments on human rights solutions.

On January 13, 2026, Diginex Limited acquired Plan A.earth GmbH, a climate technology company (“Plan A”) which is in the business of providing carbon accounting, decarbonization and ESG reporting solutions for businesses. Plan A’s parent operating entity is organized in Germany and owns three wholly owned subsidiaries organized in the United Kingdom, France and Bulgaria, respectively.

Following the above acquisitions the business operations of the Group took on a more European focus. On March 31 2025, 57% of employees/contractors/interns were based in Hong Kong but on March 31, 2026 only 22% were in Hong Kong with 72% operating out of Europe/United Kingdom.

This structure of Diginex involves risks in that you may never directly hold equity interests in the subsidiaries. Unless otherwise stated or unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Company,” “the registrant,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “ours” and “Diginex” refer to Diginex Limited, and its subsidiaries.

ITEM 3. KEY INFORMATION

Disclosures Related to Our Hong Kong Based Operations

Diginex Limited is incorporated in the Cayman Islands but has two (2) subsidiaries, DSL and TRP, that are incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong. We are not a mainland Chinese firm and neither we nor any of our subsidiaries are required to obtain permission from the government of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) to operate and issue our Ordinary Shares to foreign investors. We do not operate in the PRC. As a company with two Hong Kong subsidiaries that do not operate in the PRC, the laws and regulations of the PRC do not currently have any material impact on our business, financial condition or operation. However, because of the Company’s operations in Hong Kong and given the Chinese government’s significant oversight authority over the conduct of business in Hong Kong, there is always a risk that the Chinese government may, in the future, seek to affect operations of any company with any level of operations in the PRC (including Hong Kong), including its ability to offer securities to investors, list its securities on a U.S. or another foreign stock exchange, conduct its business or accept foreign investment. In light of PRC’s recent expansion of authority in Hong Kong, there are risks and uncertainties which we cannot foresee for the time being, and rules and regulations in the PRC can change quickly. The Chinese government may intervene or influence our current and future operations in Hong Kong and the PRC at any time or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in issuers likes ourselves. For a detailed description of these legal and operational risks, see “Key Information—D. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong.”

In addition, on February 17, 2023, the CSRC promulgated Trial Administrative Measures of the Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies and relevant supporting guidelines on regulating both direct and indirect (including through arrangements called VIEs) overseas offering and listing of PRC domestic companies’ securities through a filing-based regulatory regime, which became effective on March 31, 2023. In light of such developments, the SEC has imposed enhanced disclosure requirements on PRC-based companies seeking to register securities with the SEC. While, Diginex currently does not have any operations in the PRC, including any customer-facing business in the PRC, and does not have a VIE structure, we believe that the statements or regulatory actions by the relevant parts of the PRC government, including statements relating to the PRC Data Security Law, the Measures for the Security Assessment of Outbound Data Transfer, the PRC Personal Information Protection Law and VIEs as well as the anti-monopoly enforcement actions, will not have any material adverse impact on our ability to conduct business, accept foreign investments, or list on a U.S. or another foreign stock exchange, but there is no guarantee that this will continue to be the case or that the PRC government will not seek to intervene or influence our operations at any time. Should such statements or regulatory actions apply to a company such as us in the future, it would likely have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations, our ability to accept foreign investments and our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors on a U.S. or other international securities exchange, any of which may cause the value of our securities, including our Ordinary Shares, to significantly decline or become worthless.

Implications of the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act

The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCAA, was enacted on December 18, 2020. The HFCAA states that if the SEC determines that we have filed audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection by the PCAOB for three consecutive years beginning in 2021, the SEC shall prohibit our shares from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the U.S. On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, which, if passed by the U.S. House of Representatives and signed into law, would decrease the number of non-inspection years from three years to two, thus reducing the time period before your securities may be prohibited from trading or delisted.

Our auditor, the independent registered public accounting firm that has issued the audit report included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 20-F, as an auditor of companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the PCAOB, is subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess its compliance with the applicable professional standards. Under current practice and PRC law, the PCAOB is able to inspect the audit work and practices of PCAOB-registered firms in PRC. Our auditor is located in the United States, with affiliates in Hong Kong, and the PCAOB has not been legally restricted from inspecting PCAOB audits relating to operations in Hong Kong. To the extent any PRC laws and regulations become applicable to a company such as us or our auditor, the PCAOB loses its ability to inspect audit firms located in PRC and our auditor retains its working papers in PRC, the PCAOB may be unable to inspect our auditor. The lack of inspection could cause trading in your securities to be prohibited under the HFCAA and as a result Nasdaq may determine to delist your Ordinary Shares.

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision. Our business, prospects, financial condition, or operating results could be harmed by any of these risks, as well as other risks not known to us or that we consider immaterial as of the date of this annual report. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks, and, as a result, you may lose all or part of your investment. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Diginex’s financial statements and notes thereto included herein. You should carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to the other information included in this annual report, including matters addressed in the section titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

Diginex Limited and its subsidiaries have a limited operating history and have incurred operating losses since its inception as it has been investing in the build out of its business lines, both organically and via acquisitions. There can be no assurance that Diginex Limited and its subsidiaries will be profitable.

Diginex Limited and its subsidiaries have a limited operating history on which an investor might evaluate its performance. It is therefore subject to many of the risks common to early-stage enterprises, including under-capitalization, cash shortages, limitations with respect to personnel and financing sources and lack of revenue, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Diginex and may force it to reduce or curtail its operations. Diginex is not currently profitable and has incurred operating losses of $24.9 million, $8.3 million and $8.1 million for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024 respectively. There is no assurance that Diginex Limited will achieve a return on shareholders’ investments and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of the early stage of its operations. Even if Diginex accomplishes its objectives, it may not generate positive cash flows or profits.

Furthermore, Diginex’s business lines are not assured to be profitable. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024, the Diginex business generated revenue of $3.6 million, $2.0 million and $1.3 million respectively. Diginex may fail to develop its business lines or produce a return for its investors. It is possible that some of Diginex’s business lines may be difficult to grow, and it may become evident that a particular business line is not a productive use of capital or time. This could result in Diginex modifying its business and focus away from such business lines.

From time to time, Diginex has and may continue to launch new business lines, offer new products and services within existing business lines or undertake other strategic projects, including acquisitions. There are substantial risks and uncertainties associated with these efforts and Diginex could invest significant capital and resources into such efforts. Initial timetables for the development and introduction of new business lines or new products or services and price and profitability targets may not be met. New products or services may need to be initially launched on a limited basis prior to their full launch. In addition, Diginex’s revenues and costs may fluctuate because new business lines, products, acquisitions and services generally require startup and integration costs while revenues take time to develop, which may adversely impact Diginex’s results of operations.

If Diginex is unable to successfully build its business, both organically and via acquisition, while controlling expenses, its ability to continue in business could depend on the ability to raise sufficient additional capital, obtain sufficient financing and monetize assets. There can be no guarantee that Diginex will be able to raise funding in sufficient quantity or at acceptable terms to fund the continued development of its business lines.

The occurrence of any of the foregoing risks would have a material adverse effect on Diginex’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our revenue is dependent on the continued importance of sustainability solutions, including ESG reporting, supply chain due diligence, carbon accounting and benchmark ESG data to businesses and governments. If adoption of requirements to report on sustainability metrics does not grow as expected, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Our revenue is partially subscription based and revenue is determined by attracting new clients and by renewal of subscriptions. The supporting services such as Advisory are generally contingent on the client subscription levels. As such, if these lines of business do not grow as expected, our business, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Cyberattacks and security breaches of our platform, or those impacting our customers or third parties, could adversely impact our brand and reputation and our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Our business involves the collection, storage, processing, and transmission of confidential information, customer, employee, service provider, and other personal data. We have built our reputation on the premise that our platform offers customers a secure way to collect, hold and assess data to generate relevant ESG reporting, supply chain reports and impacts on climate, amongst others. As a result, any actual or perceived security breach of us or our third-party partners may, among others:

An increasing number of organizations, including large merchants, businesses, technology companies, and financial institutions, as well as government institutions, have disclosed breaches of their information security systems, some of which have involved sophisticated and highly targeted attacks, including on their websites, mobile applications, and infrastructure.

Attacks upon systems across a variety of industries are increasing in frequency, persistence and sophistication, and, in many cases, are being conducted by sophisticated, well-funded, and organized groups and individuals, including state actors. The techniques used to obtain unauthorized, improper, or illegal access to systems and information, disable or degrade services, or sabotage systems are constantly evolving, may be difficult to detect quickly, and often are not recognized or detected until after they have been launched against a target. These attacks may occur on our systems or those of our third-party service providers or partners. Certain types of cyberattacks could harm us even if our systems are left undisturbed. For example, attacks may be designed to deceive employees and service providers into releasing control of our systems to a hacker, while others may aim to introduce computer viruses or malware into our systems with a view to stealing confidential or proprietary data. Additionally, certain threats are designed to remain dormant or undetectable until launched against a target and we may not be able to implement adequate preventative measures.

Although we have developed systems and processes designed to protect the data we manage, prevent data loss and other security breaches, effectively respond to known and potential risks, and expect to continue to expend significant resources to bolster these protections, there can be no assurance that these security measures will provide absolute security or prevent breaches or attacks. We have experienced from time to time, and may experience in the future, breaches of our security measures due to human error, malfeasance, insider threats, system errors or vulnerabilities, or other irregularities. Unauthorized parties have attempted, and we expect that they will continue to attempt, to gain access to our systems and facilities, as well as those of our customers, partners, and third-party service providers, through various means, including hacking, social engineering, phishing, and attempting to fraudulently induce individuals (including employees, service providers, and our customers) into disclosing usernames, passwords, payment card information, or other sensitive information, which may in turn be used to access our information technology systems. Threats can come from a variety of sources, including criminal hackers, hacktivists, state-sponsored intrusions, industrial espionage, and insiders. Certain threat actors may be supported by significant financial and technological resources, making them even more sophisticated and difficult to detect. As a result, our costs and the resources we devote to protecting against these advanced threats and their consequences may continue to increase over time.

Although we maintain insurance coverage that we believe is adequate for the current stage of development of our business, it may be insufficient to protect us against all losses and costs stemming from system failures, security breaches, cyberattacks, and other types of unlawful activity, or any resulting disruptions from such events. Outages and disruptions of our platform, including any caused by cyberattacks, may harm our reputation and our business, operating results, and financial condition.

One or more of Diginex’s business lines may not produce sufficient cash flows to fund the capital requirements and expenditures necessary to run the business.

There can be no guarantee that Diginex’s business lines, individually or together with our other business lines, will be able to produce sufficient cash flows to fund the capital requirements and expenditures necessary to run the business. Furthermore, Diginex may not have or may not be able to obtain the technical skills or expertise needed to successfully or fully develop its business lines. While Diginex has sought to retain and continues to competitively recruit experts, there may, from time to time, be a scarcity of management, technical, scientific, research and marketing personnel with appropriate training to develop and maintain development of its business lines. If Diginex is not successful in its efforts to fully develop one or more of its business lines in a way that is compliant with customer requirements, and demonstrate to users the utility and value of such business, or there is not sufficient demand for the business line to be commercially viable, one or more business lines may not be viable, which could have an adverse effect on the Diginex’s overall business, financial condition and results of operations.

Diginex’s business lines may require technology certifications and qualifications that Diginex does not currently have and that may be costly and time-consuming to obtain and, even if obtained, may subsequently be revoked.

Diginex’s business lines may require technology certifications such as ISO27001. These qualifications and future maintenance to continue to be qualified are expensive and time consuming to obtain and will occupy material management attention and are not certain to be successful. A failure or delay in receiving approval for a certification or qualification, or approval that is more limited in scope than initially requested, or subsequently limited or rescinded, could have a significant and negative effect on Diginex, including the risk that a competitor gains an advantage.

Our suite of products, services and initiatives could fail to attract users and partners or generate revenue.

Our suite of products, services and initiatives and changes to existing features, services and initiatives could fail to attract users, and partners or generate revenue. Our industry is subject to changes in technology, evolving customer needs and the introduction by competitors of new and enhanced offerings. We must constantly assess our business and determine whether we need to improve or re-allocate resources among our existing platform features and services or create new products (independently or in conjunction with third parties) or acquire new products or business lines. Our ability to increase the size and engagement of our customers, attract partners and generate revenue will depend on those decisions. We may introduce significant changes to our existing platform and services or develop and introduce new products and services either organically or via acquisition, which may not attract sufficient users or partners to generate revenue. If new or enhanced platform features or services fail to engage users, partners or generate sufficient revenue or operating profit to justify our investments, our business and operating results could be adversely affected.

Diginex may face substantial litigation risks.

Diginex depends to a significant extent on its relationships with its clients and its reputation for integrity and high-caliber professional services. As a result, if a client is not satisfied with Diginex’s services or if there are allegations of negligent actions, including allegations by any of Diginex’s strategic relationships, whether the ultimate outcome is favorable or unfavorable to Diginex, or if there is negative publicity and press speculation about Diginex, whether or not valid, it may harm Diginex’s reputation and adversely affect the business and operating results.

Additionally, as a public company, Diginex is subject to lawsuits or class actions commenced by shareholders and proceedings initiated by regulators.

Responding to inquiries, investigations, audits, lawsuits and proceedings, regardless of the ultimate outcome of the matter, is time-consuming and expensive and can divert the attention of senior management. The outcome of such proceedings may be difficult to predict or estimate until late in the proceedings, which may last a number of years.

Furthermore, while Diginex maintains insurance for certain potential liabilities, such insurance does not cover all types and amounts of potential liabilities and is subject to various exclusions as well as caps on amounts refundable. Even if Diginex believes a claim is covered by insurance, insurers may dispute Diginex’s entitlement for a variety of different reasons, which may affect the timing and, if the insurers prevail, the amount of Diginex’s recovery. Any claims or litigation, even if fully indemnified or insured, could damage Diginex’s reputation and make it more difficult to compete effectively or to obtain adequate insurance in the future.

Diginex may not successfully develop technology to service its business lines.

Diginex relies heavily on the use of technology that it has created or plans to create by itself or with other third parties. If Diginex’s technology solutions do not work as planned, or do not meet or continue to meet the level of quality required by Diginex or its clients, it may make transacting business less efficient, more expensive and potentially prone to errors, thereby reducing the positive effects Diginex seeks to make available to its clients.

Diginex may not be able to keep pace with rapidly changing technology and client requirements.

Diginex’s success depends on its ability to develop new products and services for its business lines, while improving the performance and cost-effectiveness of its existing products and services, in each case in ways that address current and anticipated client requirements. Such success is dependent upon several factors, including functionality, competitive pricing and integration with existing and emerging technologies. New technologies could emerge that might enable Diginex’s competitors to offer products and services with better combinations of price and performance, or that better address client requirements, than Diginex’s products and services. Competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than Diginex can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or client requirements.

Due to the significant lead time involved in bringing a new product or service to market, Diginex is required to make a number of assumptions and estimates regarding the commercial feasibility of new products and services. As a result, it is possible that Diginex may introduce a new product or service that uses technologies that have been displaced by the time of launch, addresses a market that no longer exists or is smaller than previously thought or otherwise is not competitive at the time of launch. The expenses or losses associated with an unsuccessful product or service development or launch, or a lack of market acceptance of Diginex’s new products and services, could adversely affect Diginex’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

Diginex’s ability to attract new clients and increase revenue from existing clients also depends on its ability to deliver any enhanced or new products and services to its clients in a format where they can be easily and consistently deployed by most or all clients without significant client service. If Diginex’s clients believe that deploying Diginex’s products and services would be overly time-consuming, confusing or technically challenging, then Diginex’s ability to grow its business would be substantially harmed.

Cybersecurity incidents and other systems and technology problems may materially and adversely affect Diginex.

Cybersecurity incidents and cyber-attacks have been occurring globally at a more frequent and severe level and will likely continue to increase in frequency in the future. Incidents, which may occur through intentional or unintentional acts by individuals or groups having authorized or unauthorized access to Diginex’s systems or Diginex’s clients’ or counterparties’ information, all of which may include confidential information. These individuals or groups include employees, third-party service providers, customers and hackers. The information and technology systems used by Diginex and its service providers are vulnerable to unauthorized access, damage or interruption from, among other things: hacking, ransomware, malware and other computer viruses; denial of service attacks; network failures; computer and telecommunication failures; phishing attacks; infiltration by unauthorized persons; fraud; security breaches; usage errors by their respective professionals; power outages; terrorism; and catastrophic events such as fires, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes and earthquakes.

To date, Diginex has only experienced phishing incidents, none of which have been material. While Diginex will deploy a range of defenses, it is possible Diginex could suffer an impact or disruption that could materially and adversely affect Diginex. The security of the information and technology systems used by Diginex and its service providers may continue to be subjected to cybersecurity threats that could result in material failures or disruptions in Diginex’s business. If these systems are compromised, become inoperable for extended periods of time or cease to function properly, Diginex or a service provider may have to make a significant investment to fix or replace them. Diginex has and will continue to have access to sensitive, confidential information of clients, which makes the cybersecurity risks identified above more important than they may be to other companies.

Concerns about Diginex’s practices with regards to the collection, use, disclosure, or safekeeping of confidential information and personal data, even if unfounded, could adversely affect its operating results. Furthermore, failures of Diginex’s cybersecurity system could harm Diginex’s reputation, subject it to legal claims and otherwise materially and adversely affect Diginex’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Diginex may face the risk that one or more competitors have or will obtain patents covering technology critical to the operation of one or more of its business lines and that it may infringe on the intellectual property rights of others. Diginex’s lack of protectable intellectual property rights may negatively affect the business of Diginex.

If one or more other persons, companies or organizations has or obtains a valid patent covering technology critical to the operation of one or more of Diginex’s business lines, there can be no guarantee that such an entity would be willing to license such technology at acceptable prices or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on Diginex’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, if for any reason Diginex were to fail to comply with its obligations under an applicable agreement, it may be unable to operate, which would also have a material adverse effect on Diginex’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Due to the fundamentally open-source nature of blockchain and other technology, Diginex may not always be able to determine that it is using or accessing protected information or software. For example, there could be issued patents of which Diginex is not aware that its products infringe. Moreover, patent applications are in some cases maintained in secrecy until patents are issued. The publication of discoveries in scientific or patent literature frequently occurs substantially later than the date on which the underlying discoveries were made, and patent applications were filed. Because patents can take many years to issue, there may currently be pending applications of which Diginex is unaware that may later result in issued patents that its products infringe.

Diginex could expend significant resources defending against patent infringement and other intellectual property right claims, which could require it to divert resources away from operations. Any damages Diginex is required to pay or injunctions against its continued use of such intellectual property in resolution of such claims may cause a material adverse effect to its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Accordingly, Diginex’s lack of protectable intellectual property rights may negatively affect the business of Diginex, if it is determined that Diginex’s product offerings infringe upon the intellectual property rights or claims of others. A determination that Diginex’s product offerings infringe upon the intellectual property rights or claims of others could restrict, limit or even prohibit Diginex ability to offer and sell such infringing products. Such restrictions, limitations or prohibitions could reduce Diginex’s revenue and/or earnings and negatively affect the stock price of Diginex Limited.

Managing different business lines could present conflicts of interest.

Appropriately identifying and dealing with conflicts of interest is complex and difficult, and Diginex’s reputation could be damaged and the willingness of clients to enter into transactions with Diginex may be affected if Diginex fails, or appears to fail, to identify, disclose and deal appropriately with conflicts of interest. In addition, potential or perceived conflicts could give rise to litigation. As a result, failures to appropriately identify and address potential conflicts of interest could materially adversely affect Diginex’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Economic, political and market conditions in Hong Kong and worldwide, can adversely affect Diginex’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Diginex’s business is influenced by a range of factors that are beyond its control and that it has no comparative advantage in forecasting. These include, among others:

Macroeconomic developments, including the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the conflict between Israel and Iran, the conflict between the U.S. and Iran, evolving trade policies between the U.S. and international trade partners, including the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) and Hong Kong or the occurrence of similar events in other countries that lead to uncertainty or instability in economic, political or market conditions could negatively affect Diginex’s business, operating results and financial conditions and/or any of its third-party service providers.

Furthermore, any general weakening of, and related declining confidence in, the global economy or the curtailment of government or corporate spending could cause potential clients to delay, decrease or cancel purchases of Diginex’s products and services.

In prior periods a high concentration of Diginex employees/contractors/interns have been based in Hong Kong, but following the business acquisitions in the year ended March 31, 2026, only 22% of Diginex employees/contractors/interns are now based in Hong Kong. Hong Kong has been governed by the basic law, which guarantees a high degree of autonomy from the PRC in certain matters until 2047. If the PRC were to exert its authority to alter the economic, political or legal structures or the existing social policy of Hong Kong, investor and business confidence in Hong Kong could be negatively affected, which in turn could negatively affect markets and business performance and have an adverse effect on Diginex. There is uncertainty as to the political, economic and social status of Hong Kong. Hong Kong’s evolving relationship with the PRC’s central government in Beijing has been a source of political unrest that has periodically resulted in large-scale protests, including those that occurred in 2019 in response to an extradition bill proposed by the Hong Kong government, which was subsequently waived. These protests created disruptions for businesses operating in Hong Kong and have negatively impacted the overall economy, however, the frequency and intensity of protests have declined in recent years since the passing of the National Security Law.

A portion of Diginex’s business is currently located in Hong Kong. It is possible that Diginex may decide to relocate certain operations from Hong Kong to another location in the future. In doing so, it is also possible that Diginex may not be able to retain certain expert staff currently based in Hong Kong. If Diginex loses the services of any member of management or other such key personnel as a result of relocating, it may not be able to find suitable or qualified replacements and may incur additional expenses to recruit and train new staff, which could materially disrupt Diginex’s business and growth.

Diginex’s business lines and its acceptance of currencies other than the U.S. Dollar will subject it to currency risk.

Diginex’s financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars (“USD”) so it must translate non-USD denominated revenues, income and expenses, as well as assets and liabilities, into USD at exchange rates in effect during or at the end of each reporting period. These fluctuations may materially impact the translation of Diginex’s non-U.S. results of operations and financial condition.

Furthermore, increases or decreases in the value of the currencies Diginex operates with may affect its operating results and the value of its assets and liabilities. USD is the main currency for Diginex but it also uses Euro to an increasing level and, to a lesser extent, the Great British Pound, Hong Kong Dollar and Danish Krone.

Diginex’s business may be adversely affected by natural disasters, pandemics, and other catastrophic events, and by man-made problems such as terrorism, that could disrupt the business operations, and the business continuity and disaster recovery plans may not adequately protect it from a serious disaster.

Natural disasters or other catastrophic events may also cause damage or disruption to operations, international commerce, and the global economy, and could have an adverse effect on business, operating results, and financial condition. Business operations are subject to interruption by natural disasters, fire, power shortages, and other events beyond Diginex’s control. In addition, Diginex’s global operations expose it to risks associated with public health crises, such as pandemics and epidemics, which could harm the business and cause operating results to suffer. For example, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted, and continue to result, in difficulties or changes to customer support, or create operational or other challenges, any of which could adversely impact business and operating results. Further, acts of terrorism, labor activism or unrest, and other geo-political unrest could cause disruptions in the business or the businesses of partners or the economy as a whole. In the event of a natural disaster, including a major earthquake, blizzard, or hurricane, or a catastrophic event such as a fire, power loss, or telecommunications failure, Diginex may be unable to continue operations and may endure system interruptions, reputational harm, delays in development of Diginex’s platform(s), lengthy interruptions in service, breaches of data security, and loss of critical data, all of which could have an adverse effect on future operating results.

Risks Related to Doing Business in Hong Kong

The recent PRC government intervention into business activities by U.S.-listed Chinese companies may negatively impact our existing and future operations in Hong Kong.

Diginex Limited is incorporated in the Cayman Islands but has two (2) subsidiaries, DSL and TRP, that are incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong. We are not a mainland Chinese firm and neither us nor any of our subsidiaries are required to obtain permission from the government of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) to operate and issue our Ordinary Shares to foreign investors. We do not operate in the PRC.

Recently, the Chinese government announced that it would increase supervision of mainland Chinese firms listed offshore. Under the new measures, PRC will improve regulation of cross-border data flows and security, police illegal activity in the securities market and punish fraudulent securities issuances, market manipulation and insider trading. The Chinese government will also monitor sources of funding for securities investment and control leverage ratios. The Cyberspace Administration of China (“CAC”) has also opened a cybersecurity probe into several large U.S.-listed technology companies focusing on anti-monopoly and financial technology regulation and, more recently with the passage of the Data Security Law, how companies collect, store, process and transfer data. If we are subject to such a probe or if we are required to comply with stepped-up supervisory requirements, valuable time from our management and money may be expended in complying and/or responding to the probe and requirements, thus diverting valuable resources and attention away from our operations. This may, in turn, negatively impact our operations.

As a Hong Kong company that does not operate in the PRC, the laws and regulations of the PRC do not currently have any material impact on our business, financial condition or operation. However, because of the Company’s operations in Hong Kong and given the Chinese government’s significant oversight authority over the conduct of business in Hong Kong, there is always a risk that the Chinese government may, in the future, seek to affect operations of any company with any level of operations in PRC (including Hong Kong), including its ability to offer securities to investors, list its securities on a U.S. or other foreign exchange, conduct its business or accept foreign investment. In light of PRC’s recent expansion of authority in Hong Kong, there are risks and uncertainties which we cannot foresee for the time being, and rules and regulations in PRC can change quickly. The Chinese government may intervene or influence our current and future operations in Hong Kong and PRC at any time or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in issuers like Diginex.

If any or all of the foregoing were to occur, this could result in a material change in our Company’s operations and/or the value of our Ordinary Shares and/or significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of such securities to significantly decline or be worthless.

Our business, financial condition and results of operations, and/or the value of our Ordinary Shares or our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors may be materially and adversely affected if certain laws and regulations of the PRC become applicable to a company such as us. In that case, we may be subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with the evolving laws and regulations in the PRC, their interpretation and implementation, and the legal and regulatory system in the PRC more generally, including with respect to the enforcement of laws and the possibility of changes of rules and regulations, and be forced to relocate our operations outside of Hong Kong.

We do not operate in the PRC. We operate, in Hong Kong, a special administrative region of China. The laws and regulations of the PRC do not currently have any material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We are not a mainland Chinese firm, and neither us nor any of our subsidiaries is required to obtain permission from the government of the PRC to operate and issue our Ordinary Shares to foreign investors. It is the opinion of our PRC counsel that Diginex, DSL and TRP are not subject to the requirements of the CSRC or the CAC, and their operations are not subject to the review or approval of any other PRC governmental authority. If we inadvertently conclude that such approvals are not required, or applicable laws, regulations, or interpretations change and we are required to obtain approval in the future, obtaining such approvals could significantly limit or completely hinder our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors and cause the value of our securities, including the Ordinary Shares, to significantly decline or be worthless. If approval by PRC authorities were required, it could result in a material change in our operations, including our ability to continue our current business, and accept foreign investments, and such adverse actions would likely cause the value of our securities to significantly decline or become worthless, make us subject to penalties and sanctions imposed by PRC regulatory agencies, and cause us to be delisted or prohibited from trading.

If certain PRC laws and regulations, including existing laws and regulations and those enacted or promulgated in the future, were to become applicable to a company such as us in the future, the application of such laws and regulations may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors, any of which may cause the value of our securities, including our Ordinary Shares, to significantly decline or become worthless. For example, if the PRC Data Security Law were to apply to our Hong Kong-based business, we could become subject to data security and privacy obligations, including the need to conduct a national security review of data activities that may affect the national security of the PRC, and be prohibited from providing data stored in Hong Kong to foreign judicial or law enforcement agencies without approval from relevant PRC regulatory authorities. Furthermore, if any law relating to the PCAOB access to auditor files were to apply to a company such as us or our auditor, the PCAOB may be unable to fully inspect our auditor, which may result in our securities, including our Ordinary Shares, being delisted or prohibited from being traded pursuant to the HFCAA and materially and adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of your investment.

It is noted that relevant parts of the PRC government have made recent statements or recently taken regulatory actions related to data security, anti-monopoly and overseas listings of PRC businesses. For example, the PRC Data Security Law and the Measures for the Security Assessment of Outbound Data Transfer (the “Measures for the Security Assessment of Outbound Data Transfer”), relevant PRC government agencies have recently taken anti-trust enforcement action against certain PRC-based businesses. We understand such enforcement action was taken pursuant to the PRC Anti-Monopoly Law which applies to monopolistic activities in domestic economic activities in PRC and monopolistic activities outside PRC which eliminate or restrict market competition in PRC. In addition, on February 17, 2023, the CSRC promulgated Trial Administrative Measures of the Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies and relevant supporting guidelines on regulating both direct and indirect (including through arrangements called VIEs) overseas offering and listing of PRC domestic companies’ securities through a filing-based regulatory regime, which became effective on March 31, 2023. In light of such developments, the SEC has imposed enhanced disclosure requirements on PRC-based companies seeking to register securities with the SEC. While, as our company currently does not have any operations in PRC, including any customer-facing business in PRC, and does not have a VIE structure, we believe that the statements or regulatory actions by the relevant parts of the PRC government, including statements relating to the PRC Data Security Law, the Measures for the Security Assessment of Outbound Data Transfer, the PRC Personal Information Protection Law and VIEs as well as the anti-monopoly enforcement actions, will not have any material adverse impact on our ability to conduct business, accept foreign investments, or list on a U.S. or other foreign exchange, there is no guarantee that this will continue to be the case or that the PRC government will not seek to intervene or influence our operations at any time. Should such statements or regulatory actions apply to a company such as us in the future, it would likely have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations, our ability to accept foreign investments and our ability to offer or continue to offer securities to investors on a U.S. or other international securities exchange, any of which may cause the value of our securities, including our Ordinary Shares, to significantly decline or become worthless.

The laws and regulations in the PRC are evolving, and their enactment timetable, interpretation and implementation involve significant uncertainties. To the extent any PRC laws and regulations become applicable to us, we may be subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with the evolving laws and regulations in the PRC, their interpretation and implementation, and the legal and regulatory system in the PRC more generally, including with respect to the enforcement of laws and the possibility of changes of rules and regulations with little or no advance notice.

There are political risks associated with conducting business in Hong Kong.

During the period covered by the financial information incorporated by reference into and included in this Annual Report on Form 20-F, we have part of our operations in Hong Kong. Accordingly, our business operations and financial condition may be affected by political and legal developments in Hong Kong. Any adverse economic, social and/or political conditions, material social unrest, strike, riot, civil disturbance or disobedience, as well as significant natural disasters, may adversely affect the business operations of our Hong Kong entity. Hong Kong is a special administrative region of the PRC and the basic policies of the PRC regarding Hong Kong are reflected in the Basic Law, namely, Hong Kong’s constitutional document, which provides Hong Kong with a high degree of autonomy and executive, legislative and independent judicial powers, including that of final adjudication under the principle of “one country, two systems”. However, there is no assurance that the PRC will not drive changes in the economic, political and legal environment in Hong Kong in the future. Since part of our operation is based in Hong Kong, any change of such political arrangements may pose immediate threat to the stability of the economy in Hong Kong, thereby directly and adversely affecting our results of operations and financial position.

Under the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the PRC, Hong Kong is exclusively in charge of its internal affairs and external relations, while the government of the PRC is responsible for its foreign affairs and defense. As a separate customs territory, Hong Kong maintains and develops relations with foreign states and regions. Based on certain recent developments, including the Law of the PRC on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region issued by the Standing Committee of the PRC National People’s Congress in June 2020, the U.S. State Department has indicated that the United States no longer considers Hong Kong to have significant autonomy from PRC. In 2020, President Trump signed an executive order and the Hong Kong Autonomy Act, or HKAA, to remove Hong Kong’s preferential trade status and to authorize the U.S. administration to impose blocking sanctions against individuals and entities who are determined to have materially contributed to the erosion of Hong Kong’s autonomy. The United States may impose the same tariffs and other trade restrictions on exports from Hong Kong that it places on goods from PRC. These and other recent actions may represent an escalation in political and trade tensions involving the U.S., PRC and Hong Kong, which could potentially harm our business.

Given the relatively small geographical size of Hong Kong, any such incidents may have a widespread effect on our business operations, which could in turn adversely and materially affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. It is difficult to predict the full impact of the HKAA on Hong Kong and companies with operations in Hong Kong. Furthermore, legislative or administrative actions in respect of PRC-U.S. relations could cause investor uncertainty for affected issuers, including us, and the market price of our Ordinary Shares could be adversely affected.

The Hong Kong legal system embodies uncertainties which could limit the availability of legal protections.

On January 18, 2019, the Supreme People’s Court and the Hong Kong SAR Government signed the Arrangement on Reciprocal Recognition and Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters by the Courts of the Mainland and of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (the “New Arrangement”), which seeks to establish a mechanism with greater clarity and certainty for recognition and enforcement of judgments in wider range of civil and commercial matters between Hong Kong SAR and the PRC. The New Arrangement does not include the requirement for a choice of court agreement in writing by the parties. The New Arrangement will only take effect after the promulgation of a judicial interpretation by the Supreme People’s Court and the completion of the relevant legislative procedures in the Hong Kong SAR. On the Hong Kong side, the New Arrangement needs to be implemented through local laws. According to the Hong Kong government’s constitutional report on November 10, 2023, the Mainland Civil and Commercial Judgments (Mutual Enforcement) Ordinance (Chapter 645) and the Mainland Civil and Commercial Judgments (Mutual Enforcement) Rules came into effect on January 29, 2024.

As one of the conditions for the handover of the sovereignty of Hong Kong to PRC, PRC accepted conditions such as Hong Kong’s Basic Law. The Basic Law ensured Hong Kong will retain its own currency (the Hong Kong Dollar), legal system, parliamentary system and people’s rights and freedom for fifty years from 1997. This agreement has given Hong Kong the freedom to function with a high degree of autonomy. The Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong is responsible for its own domestic affairs including, but not limited to, the judiciary and courts of last resort, immigration and customs, public finance, currencies and extradition. Hong Kong continues using the English common law system.

However, if the PRC attempts to alter its agreement to allow Hong Kong to function autonomously, this could potentially impact Hong Kong’s common law legal system and may in turn bring about uncertainty in, for example, the enforcement of our contractual rights. This could, in turn, materially and adversely affect our business and operations. Additionally, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protections in Hong Kong may not be as effective as in the United States or other countries. Accordingly, we cannot predict the effect of future developments in the Hong Kong legal system, including the promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, or the preemption of local regulations by national laws. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to us, including our ability to enforce our agreements with our customers.

The Hong Kong government may face further restrictive measures from PRC government in the future.

The PRC government may intervene or influence our operations in Hong Kong at any time or may exert more control over offerings conducted overseas and/or foreign investment in us. The PRC government has claimed in its official policy documents that it exercises ‘comprehensive jurisdiction’ over Hong Kong. We cannot assure you that the Hong Kong government will not be facing further restrictive measures from PRC’s government in the future. The PRC government’s further potential restrictive regulations and measures could increase our existing and future operating costs by adapting to these regulations and measures, limit our access to capital resources or even restrict our existing and future business operations, which could further adversely affect our business and prospects.

For example, The Mainland Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters (Reciprocal Enforcement) Ordinance Cap. 645 has come into effect in Hong Kong on January 29, 2024 (the Mainland Judgments Ordinance). The Mainland Judgment Ordinance creates a new registration system whereby certain judgments issued by Mainland courts could be enforced in Hong Kong SAR. These judgments include civil and/or commercial judgments handed down by Mainland courts, and criminal judgments (insofar as it is confined to an order to pay a sum of money for compensation and/or damages). The Mainland Judgments Ordinance implements the Arrangement on Reciprocal Recognition and Enforcement of Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters by the Courts of the PRC and Hong Kong SAR. The Supreme People’s Court of Mainland and the Hong Kong Government signed the above Arrangement on January 18, 2019.

The cumulative effects of the Mainland Judgments Ordinance are:

(i) it expedites the enforcement of Mainland civil and/or commercial judgments in Hong Kong. This includes both monetary or non-monetary orders. An opposing party must object within a short period of time. The objection must be strictly confined to the grounds as set out in the Mainland Judgments Ordinance,

(ii) criminal judgments which carry monetary compensation or damages orders are also enforceable in Hong Kong. A wide range of PRC legislations and administrative regulations give power to the Mainland courts to order for monetary compensation or damages in criminal cases. The Mainland criminal justice system is known for its very high conviction rate.

(iii) Hong Kong-based assets are now liable to be confiscated or seized by orders of the Hong Kong courts for the purposes of the execution of Mainland judgments.

On March 8, 2024, the Hong Kong SAR Government issued the Safeguarding National Security Bill (the “Bill”). The Bill as amended was then approved and passed at a full Legislative Council meeting on March 19, 2024. The Safeguarding National Security Ordinance became law and took effect from March 23, 2024. This law grants authorities’ broad powers to address perceived threats to national security, but its implementation and interpretation introduce significant uncertainty. See “– Interpretation of PRC laws and the implementation of National Security Law in Hong Kong involve uncertainty.”

Interpretation of PRC laws and the implementation of National Security Law in Hong Kong involve uncertainty.

Since 1979, the PRC government began to promulgate a comprehensive system of laws and regulations governing economic matters in general. The PRC legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. Prior court decisions are encouraged to be used for reference, but it remains unclear to what extent the prior court decisions may impact the current court ruling as the encouragement policy is new and there is limited judicial practice in this regard. Since a large number of laws and regulations are relatively new and the PRC legal system continues to rapidly evolve, the interpretations of many laws, and regulations and rules are not always uniform and the enforcement of these laws, regulations and rules involves uncertainties.

Depending on the government agency or how an application or case is presented to such agency, we may receive less favorable interpretations of laws and regulations than our competitors, particularly if a competitor has long been established in the locality of and has developed a relationship with such agency. In addition, any litigation may be protracted and result in substantial costs and a diversion of resources and management attention. All of these uncertainties may cause difficulties in the enforcement of our rights, entitlements under our permits and other statutory and contractual rights and interests.

On March 8, 2024, the Hong Kong SAR Government issued the Safeguarding National Security Bill (the “Bill”). The Bill as amended was then approved and passed at a full Legislative Council meeting on March 19, 2024. The Safeguarding National Security Ordinance became law and took effect from March 23, 2024. According to the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong SAR, the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance demonstrates three key objectives: (1) to resolutely, fully and faithfully implement the policy of “one country, two systems” under which the people of Hong Kong administer Hong Kong with a high degree of autonomy; (2) to establish and improve the legal system and enforcement mechanisms for the Hong Kong SAR to safeguard national security; and (3) to prevent, suppress and punish acts and activities endangering national security in accordance with the law, to protect the lawful rights and interests of the residents of the Hong Kong SAR and other people in the Hong Kong SAR, to ensure the property and investment in the Hong Kong SAR are protected by the law, to maintain prosperity and stability of the Hong Kong SAR. This ordinance introduces significant uncertainty for businesses operating in Hong Kong. This law grants authorities broad powers to address perceived threats to national security, but its implementation and interpretation remain fluid. The ordinance applies not only within Hong Kong but also to activities conducted outside its borders. Businesses with international operations may face legal risks if their actions are perceived as undermining national security, even if those actions occur elsewhere. Companies may inadvertently violate the law due to its complexity and evolving interpretation. Compliance costs, legal challenges, and reputational damage could result from inadvertent non-compliance. The uncertainty surrounding the ordinance may deter foreign investment, impact investor confidence, and affect Hong Kong’s status as a global financial hub. All of these may adversely affect our operations in Hong Kong.

Our Ordinary Shares may be delisted or prohibited from being traded under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act if the PCAOB were unable to fully inspect our auditor. The delisting or the cessation of trading of our Ordinary Shares, or the threat of them being delisted or prohibited from being traded, may materially and adversely affect the value and/or liquidity of your investment. Additionally, if the PCAOB were unable to conduct full inspections of our auditor, it would deprive our investors with the benefits of such inspections.

The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, or the HFCAA, was enacted on December 18, 2020. The HFCAA states that if the SEC determines that we have filed audit reports issued by a registered public accounting firm that has not been subject to inspection by the PCAOB for three consecutive years beginning in 2021, the SEC shall prohibit our shares from being traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter trading market in the U.S.

Our auditor, the independent registered public accounting firm that has issued the audit report included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 20-F, as an auditor of companies that are traded publicly in the United States and a firm registered with the PCAOB, is subject to laws in the United States pursuant to which the PCAOB conducts regular inspections to assess its compliance with the applicable professional standards. Under current practice and PRC law, the PCAOB is currently able to inspect the audit work and practices of PCAOB-registered firms in PRC. Our auditor is located in the United States, with affiliates in Hong Kong, and the PCAOB has not been legally restricted from inspecting PCAOB audits relating to operations in Hong Kong. As noted above, except for the Basic Law, national laws of the PRC do not apply in Hong Kong unless they are listed in Annex III of the Basic Law and applied locally by promulgation or local legislation. The Basic Law expressly provides that the national laws of the PRC which may be listed in Annex III of the Basic Law shall be confined to those relating to defense and foreign affairs as well as other matters outside the autonomy of Hong Kong. National laws of the PRC relating to PCAOB access to auditor files have not been listed in Annex III and so do not apply directly to Hong Kong. The PRC legal system is evolving rapidly and the PRC laws, regulations, and rules may change quickly with little advance notice. To the extent any PRC laws and regulations become applicable to a company such as us or our auditor, the PCAOB loses its ability to inspect audit firms located in PRC and our auditor retains its working papers in PRC, the PCAOB may be unable to inspect our auditor. The lack of inspection could cause trading in your securities to be prohibited under the HFCAA and as a result Nasdaq may determine to delist your Ordinary Shares.

On March 24, 2021, the SEC adopted interim final rules relating to the implementation of certain disclosure and documentation requirements of the Act. We would be required to comply with these rules if the SEC identifies us as having a “non-inspection” year under a process to be subsequently established by the SEC. The SEC is assessing how to implement other requirements of the HFCAA, including the listing and trading prohibition requirements described above.

In May 2021, the PCAOB issued a proposed rule 6100, Board Determinations Under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, for public comment. The proposed rule is related to the PCAOB’s responsibilities under the HFCAA, which, according to the PCAOB, would establish a framework for the PCAOB to use when determining, as contemplated under the HFCAA, whether the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely registered public accounting firms located in a foreign jurisdiction because of a position taken by one or more authorities in that jurisdiction. The proposed rule was adopted by the PCAOB on September 22, 2021 and approved by the SEC on November 5, 2021. On December 2, 2021, SEC adopted amendments to finalize rules implementing the submission and disclosure requirements in the HFCAA.

On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Senate passed the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, which, if passed by the U.S. House of Representatives and signed into law, would decrease the number of non-inspection years from three years to two, thus reducing the time period before your securities may be prohibited from trading or delisted.

In December 2021, the SEC adopted rules to implement the HFCAA and pursuant to the HFCAA, the PCAOB issued its report notifying the SEC of its determination that it is unable to inspect or investigate completely accounting firms headquartered in PRC or Hong Kong.

If for whatever reason the PCAOB is unable to conduct full inspections of our auditor, such uncertainty could cause the market price of our Ordinary Shares to be materially and adversely affected, and our securities could be delisted or prohibited from being traded. If our securities were unable to be listed on another securities exchange by then, such a delisting would substantially impair your ability to sell or purchase our Ordinary Shares when you wish to do so, and the risk and uncertainty associated with a potential delisting would have a negative impact on the price of our Ordinary Shares.

Inspections of other firms that the PCAOB has conducted outside the PRC have identified deficiencies in those firms’ audit procedures and quality control procedures, which may be addressed as part of the inspection process to improve future audit quality. If the PCAOB were unable to conduct full inspections of our auditor, we and the investors in our Ordinary Shares would be deprived of the benefits of such PCAOB inspections. In addition, the inability of the PCAOB to conduct full inspections of auditors would make it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of our independent registered public accounting firm’s audit procedures or quality control procedures as compared to auditors that are subject to the PCAOB inspections, which could cause investors and potential investors in our securities to lose confidence in our audit procedures and reported financial information and the quality of our financial statements.

Our independent registered public accounting firm, UHY LLP, is not subject to the determinations announced by the PCAOB on December 16, 2021. UHY LLP are headquartered in Farmington Hills, Michigan. UHY LLP are not headquartered in the PRC or Hong Kong. The PCAOB currently has access to inspect the working papers of UHY LLP. As a result, we do not believe the HFCAA and related regulations will affect our company. If, however, our independent registered public accounting firm, or its affiliates, were denied, even temporarily, the ability to practice before the SEC and PCAOB, and it were determined that our financial statements or audit reports are not in compliance with the requirements of the U.S. Exchange Act, we could be at risk of delisting or become subject to other penalties that would adversely affect our ability to remain listed on the Nasdaq.

Cayman Islands Risk Factors  

Because Diginex Limited is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. Federal courts may be limited.

Diginex Limited is an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon Diginex Limited’s directors or officers, or enforce judgments obtained in the United States courts against Diginex Limited’s directors or officers.

Diginex Limited’s corporate affairs will be governed by its memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of Diginex Limited’s directors to Diginex Limited under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of Diginex Limited’s shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of Diginex Limited’s directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and certain states, such as Delaware, may have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law than the Cayman Islands. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholders derivative action in a Federal court of the United States.

Shareholders of Cayman Islands exempted companies like Diginex Limited have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records (other than the memorandum and articles of association and any special resolutions passed by such companies, and the register of mortgages and charges of such companies) or to obtain copies of lists of shareholders of these companies. Diginex Limited’s directors have discretion under its Memorandum and Articles to determine whether or not, and under what conditions, our corporate records may be inspected by our shareholders, but are not obliged to make them available to Diginex Limited’s shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.

As a result of all of the above, Diginex Limited’s public shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of Diginex Limited’s board of directors or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a company incorporated in the United States. For a discussion of significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Act and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders, see “Description of Securities Capital — Certain Differences in Corporate Law.”

As a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, Diginex Limited is permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards; these practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if Diginex Limited complied fully with Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards.

Diginex Limited is an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and has listed the Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq. Nasdaq market rules permit a foreign private issuer like Diginex Limited to follow the corporate governance practices of its home country. Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands, which is Diginex Limited’s home country, may differ significantly from Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards as, except for general fiduciary duties and duties of care, Cayman Islands law has no corporate governance regime which prescribes specific corporate governance standards.

We rely on home country practice with respect to our corporate governance. As a result, our shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would have under corporate governance listing standards applicable to U.S. domestic issuers. Among others, we will not be required to: (i) obtain shareholders’ approval for issuance of securities in certain situations; or (ii) have regularly scheduled executive sessions with only independent directors each year.

Diginex Limited has elected, pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5615(3), to be exempt from the requirements contained: (i) in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(a) which sets forth the circumstances under which shareholder approval is required prior to an issuance of securities, other than in a public offering, equal to 20% or more of the voting power outstanding at a price less than the lower of: (a) the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement; or (b) the average Nasdaq Official Closing Price of the common stock (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement; (ii) in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5620(c) requiring a Nasdaq-listing company to provide in its by-laws for a quorum of at least 33 1/3 percent of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common voting stock; (iii) in Nasdaq marketplace Rule 5605(b)(2) requiring a Nasdaq-listing company to have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present; (iv) in Nasdaq marketplace Rule 5635(b) which requires a Nasdaq-listed company to obtain shareholder approval prior to the issuance of securities when the issuance or potential issuance will result in a change of control of the Company, (v) in Nasdaq marketplace Rule 5635(c) which requires a Nasdaq-listed company to obtain shareholder approval for the establishment of or material amendments to equity compensation; and (vi) in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d) which sets forth the circumstances under which shareholder approval is required prior to an issuance of securities equal to 20% or more of the voting power outstanding, other than in a public offering, at a price less than the lower of: (a) the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement; or (b) the average Nasdaq Official Closing Price of the common stock (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement.

Provisions in the Diginex Limited’s governance documents may inhibit a takeover of Diginex Limited, which could limit the price investors might be willing to pay in the future for Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares and could entrench management.

Diginex Limited’s governance documents contain provisions that may discourage unsolicited takeover proposals that shareholders may consider to be in their best interests. These provisions include that Diginex Limited may issue additional shares without shareholder approval and such additional shares could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The ability for Diginex Limited to issue additional shares could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise that could involve the payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares.

As a foreign private issuer, Diginex Limited will be exempt from a number of U.S. securities laws and rules promulgated thereunder and will be permitted to publicly disclose less information than U.S. public companies must. This may limit the information available to holders of the Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares.

Diginex Limited qualifies as a “foreign private issuer,” as defined in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) rules and regulations, and, consequently, Diginex Limited is not subject to all of the disclosure requirements applicable to public companies organized within the United States. For example, Diginex Limited is exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that regulate disclosure obligations and procedural requirements related to the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations applicable to a security registered under the Exchange Act. In addition, Diginex Limited is not required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. public companies. Diginex Limited is also not subject to Regulation FD under the Exchange Act, which would prohibit Diginex Limited from selectively disclosing material nonpublic information to certain persons without concurrently making a widespread public disclosure of such information. Accordingly, there may be less publicly available information concerning Diginex Limited than there is for U.S. public companies.

As a foreign private issuer, Diginex Limited will file an annual report on Form 20-F within four months of the close of each fiscal year ended March 31 and furnish reports on Form 6-K relating to certain material events promptly after Diginex Limited publicly announces these events. However, because of the above exemptions for foreign private issuers, which Diginex Limited relies on, Diginex Limited shareholders will not be afforded the same information generally available to investors holding shares in public companies that are not foreign private issuers.

You may be unable to present proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings not called by shareholders.

Cayman Islands law provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. These rights, however, may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Diginex Limited’s Memorandum and Articles allow one or more of our shareholders who together hold not less than ten percent (10%) of the rights to vote to requisition a general meeting of our shareholders, in which case our directors are obliged to call such meeting. Advance notice of at least five (5) clear days is required to be given to the shareholders for the convening of any general meeting. A quorum required for a general meeting is one or more holders holding shares that represent not less than one-third of the outstanding shares of the Company carrying the right to vote at such general meeting. For these purposes, “clear days” means that period excluding (a) the day when the notice is given or deemed to be given and (b) the day for which it is given or on which it is to take effect.

Because Diginex Limited is a foreign private issuer and is exempt from certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards applicable to U.S. issuers, you will have less protection than you would have if it were a domestic issuer.

Diginex Limited’s status as a foreign private issuer exempts it from compliance with certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements if it instead complies with the statutory requirements applicable to a Cayman Islands exempted company. The statutory requirements of Diginex Limited’s home country of Cayman Islands do not strictly require a majority of its board to consist of independent directors, unless required by Nasdaq rules. Thus, although a director must act in the best interests of Diginex Limited, it is possible that fewer board members will be exercising independent judgment and the level of board oversight on the management of Diginex Limited may decrease as a result. In addition, the Nasdaq Listing Rules also require U.S. domestic issuers to have an independent compensation committee with a minimum of two members, a nominating committee, and an independent audit committee with a minimum of three members. Diginex Limited, as a foreign private issuer, with the exception of needing an independent audit committee composed of at least three members, is not subject to these requirements. The Nasdaq Listing Rules may also require shareholder approval for certain corporate matters that Diginex Limited’s home country’s rules do not. Following Cayman Islands governance practices, as opposed to complying with the requirements applicable to a U.S. company listed on Nasdaq, may provide less protection to you than would otherwise be the case.

Diginex Limited may lose its foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses.

As a “foreign private issuer,” Diginex Limited would not be required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and related rules and regulations. Under those rules, the determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually on the last business day of an issuer’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and, accordingly, the next determination will be made with respect to Diginex on September 30, 2026.

In the future, Diginex Limited could lose its foreign private issuer status if a majority of its Ordinary Shares are held by residents in the United States and it fails to meet any one of the additional “business contacts” requirements. Although Diginex Limited intends to follow certain practices that are consistent with U.S. regulatory provisions applicable to U.S. companies, Diginex Limited’s loss of foreign private issuer status would make such provisions mandatory. The regulatory and compliance costs to Diginex Limited under U.S. securities laws if it is deemed a U.S. domestic issuer may be significantly higher. If Diginex Limited is not a foreign private issuer, Diginex Limited will be required to file periodic reports and prospectuses on U.S. domestic issuer forms with the SEC, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. For example, Diginex Limited would become subject to the Regulation FD, aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures of material information. Diginex Limited also may be required to modify certain of its policies to comply with good governance practices associated with U.S. domestic issuers. Such conversion and modifications will involve additional costs. In addition, Diginex Limited may lose its ability to rely upon exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq that are available to foreign private issuers. For example, Nasdaq’s corporate governance rules require listed companies to have, among other things, a majority of independent board members and independent director oversight of executive compensation, nomination of directors, and corporate governance matters. Nasdaq rules also require shareholder approval of certain share issuances, including approval of equity compensation plans. As a foreign private issuer, Diginex Limited would be permitted to follow home country practice in lieu of the above requirements.

As long as Diginex Limited relies on the foreign private issuer exemption to certain of Nasdaq’s corporate governance standards, a majority of the directors on its board of directors are not required to be independent directors, its remuneration committee is not required to be comprised entirely of independent directors and it will not be required to have a nominating and corporate governance committee, unless otherwise required by Nasdaq rules. If Diginex Limited loses its foreign private issuer status and fails to comply with U.S. securities laws applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, Diginex Limited may have to de-list from Nasdaq and could be subject to investigation by the SEC, Nasdaq and other regulators, among other materially adverse consequences.

We currently do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future and you must rely on price appreciation of our Ordinary Shares for a return on your investment.

We currently intend to retain most, if not all, of our available funds and any future earnings to fund our development and growth. As a result, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, you should not rely on an investment in our Ordinary Shares as a source for any future dividend income.

Our board of directors has complete discretion as to whether to distribute dividends, subject to certain requirements of Cayman Islands law. In addition, our shareholders may by ordinary resolution declare a dividend, but no dividend may exceed the amount recommended by our directors. Under Cayman Islands law, a Cayman Islands company may pay a dividend out of either profit or share premium account, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in the company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. Even if our board of directors decides to declare and pay dividends, the timing, amount and form of future dividends, if any, will depend on our future results of operations and cash flow, our capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by us from the operating entities, our financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. Accordingly, the return on your investment in our Ordinary Shares will likely depend entirely upon any future price appreciation of our Ordinary Shares. There is no guarantee that our Ordinary Shares will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which you purchased Ordinary Shares. You may not realize a return on your investment in our Ordinary Shares and you may even lose your entire investment in our Ordinary Shares.

Risks Related to Taxation

We may be classified as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the current taxable year, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences for U.S. Holders of our Shares.

In general, we will be treated as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for any taxable year in which either (1) at least 75% of our gross income (looking through certain 25% or more-owned subsidiaries) is passive income or (2) at least 50% of the average value of our assets (looking through certain 25% or more-owned subsidiaries) is attributable to assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income. Passive income generally includes, without limitation, dividends, interest, rents, royalties, and gains from the disposition of passive assets. If we are determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder (as defined in the Section of this Annual Report on Form 20-F captioned “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”) of our securities, the U.S. Holder may be subject to increased U.S. federal income tax liability and may be subject to additional reporting requirements. The determination of whether we are a PFIC is a fact-intensive determination made on an annual basis applying principles and methodologies that in some circumstances are unclear and subject to varying interpretation. Our actual PFIC status for any taxable year will not be determinable until after the end of such taxable year. Accordingly, there can be no assurance with respect to our status as a PFIC for our current taxable year or any subsequent taxable year. We urge U.S. Holders to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible application of the PFIC rules in light of their individual circumstances.

Risks Related to Being a Public Company

Diginex Limited has limited experience operating as a public company and fulfilling its obligations as a U.S. reporting company may be expensive and time consuming.

The Company’s failure to comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to U.S. public companies could subject Diginex or its management to regulatory scrutiny or sanction, which could harm the Company’s reputation and share price.

As a public company Diginex incurs significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that it did not incur as a private company. Diginex Limited is subject to reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, the rules and regulations of the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, or Nasdaq, and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Stockholder activism, the current political and social environment and the current high level of government intervention and regulatory reform may lead to substantial new regulations and disclosure obligations, which will likely result in additional compliance costs and could impact the manner in which Diginex operates its business in ways Diginex cannot currently anticipate. Compliance with these rules and regulations may strain Diginex’s financial and management systems, internal controls, and employees. The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that Diginex Limited files annual, half yearly, and current reports with respect to its business and operating results. Moreover, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that Diginex Limited maintains effective disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control, over financial reporting. In order to maintain and, if required, improve disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over, financial reporting to meet this standard, significant resources and management oversight may be required. If Diginex Limited encounters material weaknesses or deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, Diginex Limited may not detect errors on a timely basis and its combined financial statements may be materially misstated. Effective internal control is necessary for Diginex Limited to produce reliable financial reports and is important to prevent fraud.

Diginex ceased to be an emerging growth company as of March 31, 2026, accordingly its independent registered public accounting firm will be required to formally attest to the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting in this annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. Diginex Limited expects to incur significant expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. As a result of the complexity involved in complying with the rules and regulations applicable to public companies, Diginex’s management attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm the business, operating results, and financial condition. Diginex finance team is not large and it may need to hire more employees in the future, or engage outside consultants, which will increase operating expenses.

Diginex also expects that being a public company and complying with applicable rules and regulations will make it more expensive for it to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and Diginex may be required to incur substantially higher costs to obtain and maintain the same or similar coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for Diginex to attract and retain qualified members of its board of directors and qualified executive officers.

A potential failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could have a material adverse effect on Diginex’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. Diginex may be unable to accurately report Diginex’s financial results or prevent fraud if Diginex cannot maintain an effective system of internal controls over Diginex’s financial reporting.

Diginex will be subject to reporting obligations under the U.S. securities laws. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), adopted rules requiring every public company to include a management report on such company’s internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Diginex is required to include a management report on Diginex’s internal controls over financial reporting in Diginex in annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 (excluding the entities acquired during the year ended March 31, 2026). Diginex’s management may conclude that Diginex Limited’s internal controls over Diginex’s financial reporting are not effective, and Diginex Limited’s reporting obligations as a public company will place a significant strain on Diginex’s management, operational and financial resources, and systems for the foreseeable future, which will increase Diginex’s operating expenses.

The establishment of effective internal controls over financial reporting is necessary for Diginex Limited to produce reliable financial reports and are important to help prevent fraud. Diginex’s failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could consequently result in a loss of investor confidence in the reliability of Diginex Limited’s financial statements, which in turn could harm Diginex’s business and negatively impact the trading price of Diginex Limited’s stock.

Diginex ceased to be an emerging growth company as of March 31, 2026, accordingly, its independent registered public accounting firm is required to formally attest to the effectiveness of Diginex’s internal control over financial reporting in this annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. Diginex has incur considerable costs and devoted significant management time and efforts and other resources to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

During the year ended March 31, 2026, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. If remediation of material weaknesses are not effective, or if we identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely impact investor confidence and, as a result, the value Diginex Limited’s stock.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weakness has been identified and included in management assessment.  The material weakness is related to the identification and evaluation of the appropriate accounting guidance for the classification of a warrant agreement. Specifically, the Company did not maintain effective controls to appropriately evaluate the terms and conditions of a warrant agreement and determine the appropriate accounting classification. As a result, one warrant agreement was incorrectly classified as equity rather than as financial liabilities, resulting in a material misstatement to the Company’s financial statements.

We may not be able to fully remediate the identified material weakness. If the steps we take do not correct the material weakness in a timely manner, we will be unable to conclude that the Company maintains effective internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, there could continue to be a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In the future, it is possible that additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may be identified that we may be unable to remedy before the requisite deadline for these reports. Our ability to comply with the annual internal control reporting requirements will depend on the effectiveness of our financial reporting and data systems and controls across the Company. Any weaknesses or deficiencies or any failure to implement new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in the implementation or operation of these controls could harm our operating results and cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in our consolidated financial statements, which could adversely impact our business and reduce our stock price. If we are unable to conclude that we have effective internal control over financial reporting, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our common shares. Failure to remedy any material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, or to implement or maintain other effective control systems required of public companies could also restrict our future access to the capital markets.

If we fail to establish and maintain proper internal financial reporting controls, our ability to produce accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we will be required to file a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, since Diginex ceased to be an emerging growth company as of March 31, 2026, accordingly, its independent registered public accounting firm is required to formally attest to the effectiveness of Diginex’s internal control over financial reporting in this annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. We might identify one or more material weaknesses, in the future, in our internal controls in connection with evaluating our compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The presence of material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting could result in financial statement errors which, in turn, could lead to errors in our financial reports and/or delays in our financial reporting, which could require us to restate our operating results.

Our major shareholder has substantial influence over our company and his interests may not be aligned with the interests of our other shareholders.

As of the date of this Annual Report on Form 20-F, our major shareholder, beneficially owns an aggregate of approximately 16.4% of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares and 56.6% on a fully diluted basis assuming all IPO and Founder Warrants were exercised. As a result of this major shareholders’ substantial shareholding, he has a substantial influence over our business, including decisions regarding acquisitions, mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, election of directors and other significant corporate actions. This shareholder may take actions that are not in the best interests of us or our other shareholders. This concentration of ownership may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our company and might reduce the price of our Ordinary Shares. These actions may be taken even if they are opposed by our other shareholders.

Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq could result in a de-listing of our Ordinary Shares and penny stock trading.

If we fail to satisfy the applicable continued listing requirements to maintain the listing of our Ordinary Shares on The Nasdaq Capital Market, Nasdaq may commence delisting procedures against our Company (during which we may have additional time of up to six months to appeal and correct our non-compliance). If our Ordinary Shares are ultimately delisted from Nasdaq, our Ordinary Shares would likely then trade only in the over-the-counter market and the market liquidity of our Ordinary Shares could be adversely affected and their market price could decrease. If our Ordinary Shares were to trade on the over-the-counter market, selling our Ordinary Shares could be more difficult because smaller quantities of shares would likely be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed, and we could face significant material adverse consequences, including: a limited availability of market quotations for our securities; reduced liquidity with respect to our securities; a determination that our shares are a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in our securities to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities; a reduced amount of news and analyst coverage for our Company; and a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. These factors could result in lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for our Ordinary Shares and would substantially impair our ability to raise additional funds and could result in a loss of institutional investor interest and fewer development opportunities for us.

In addition to the foregoing, if our Ordinary Shares are ultimately delisted from Nasdaq and they trade on the over-the-counter market, the application of the “penny stock” rules could adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares and increase the transaction costs to sell those shares. The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” as an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to specific exemptions. If our Ordinary Shares are ultimately delisted from Nasdaq and then trade on the over-the-counter market at a price of less than $5.00 per share, our Ordinary Shares would be considered a penny stock. The SEC’s penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and the salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that before a transaction in a penny stock occurs, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s agreement to the transaction. If applicable in the future, these rules may restrict the ability of brokers-dealers to sell our Ordinary Shares and may affect the ability of investors to sell their shares, until our Ordinary Shares no longer is considered a penny stock.

Our Ordinary Shares may be delisted from Nasdaq if we fail to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv), we are no longer entitled to a 180-day compliance period to cure any future bid price deficiency.

On March 23, 2026, the Company received a notification from Nasdaq stating we failed to meet the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). We regained compliance on July 28, 2026, by effecting a 1-for-8 share consolidation on April 28, 2026. However, under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv), because we completed a reverse split on April 28, 2026, in the event the Company’s closing bid price falls below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days within one year of April 28, 2026, then we will not be eligible for a 180-day cure period. Instead, Nasdaq will immediately issue a Staff Delisting Determination, which could result in our shares being suspended or moved to the over-the-counter market.

If securities industry analysts do not publish research reports on Diginex Limited, or publish unfavorable reports on Diginex Limited, then the market price and market trading volume of Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares could be negatively affected.

Any trading market for Diginex Limited Ordinary Shares may be influenced in part by any research reports that securities industry analysts publish about Diginex Limited. Diginex Limited does not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by securities industry analysts. If no securities industry analysts commence coverage of Diginex Limited, the market price and market trading volume of Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares could be negatively affected. In the event Diginex Limited is covered by analysts, and one or more of such analysts downgrade Diginex Limited shares, or otherwise reports on Diginex Limited unfavorably, or discontinues coverage of Diginex Limited, the market price and market trading volume of Diginex Limited Ordinary Shares could be negatively affected.

Because we are a foreign private issuer and are exempt from certain Nasdaq corporate governance standards applicable to U.S. issuers, you will have less protection than you would have if we were a domestic issuer.

The Nasdaq Listing Rules require listed companies to have, among other things, a majority of its board members be independent. As a foreign private issuer, however, we are permitted to, and we may follow home country practice in lieu of the above requirements. The corporate governance practice in our home country, the Cayman Islands, does not require a majority of our board to consist of independent directors. In addition, the Nasdaq Listing Rules also require U.S. domestic issuers to have a compensation committee, a nominating/corporate governance committee and an audit committee. We, as a foreign private issuer, are not subject to these requirements. The Nasdaq Listing Rules may require shareholder approval for certain corporate matters, such as requiring that shareholders be given the opportunity to vote on all equity compensation plans and material revisions to those plans, certain ordinary share issuances. We intend to comply with most of the corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. However, we may, in the future, consider following home country practice in lieu of the requirements under the Nasdaq Listing Rules with respect to certain corporate governance standards which may afford less protection to investors. In particular, under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5615(a)(3)(A), a foreign private issuer may, in general, follow its home country corporate governance practices in lieu of some of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, set forth in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5600 Series (with certain exceptions not relevant here). Diginex Limited has elected to be exempt from the requirement in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d) which sets forth the circumstances under which shareholder approval is required prior to an issuance of securities, other than in a public offering, equal to 20% or more of the voting power outstanding at a price less than the lower of: (i) the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement; or (ii) the average Nasdaq Official Closing Price of the common stock (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement.  

Although as a foreign private issuer we are exempt from certain corporate governance standards applicable to U.S. issuers, if we cannot continue to satisfy, the continued listing requirements and other rules of Nasdaq, our securities may be delisted, which could negatively impact the price of our securities and your ability to sell them.

In order to maintain our listing on Nasdaq, we will be required to comply with certain rules of Nasdaq, including those regarding minimum stockholders’ equity, minimum share price, minimum market value of publicly held shares, and various additional requirements. Although we initially met the listing requirements and other applicable rules of Nasdaq, we may not be able to continue to satisfy these requirements and applicable rules. If we are unable to satisfy the criteria of Nasdaq for maintaining our listing, our securities could be subject to delisting, which would have a negative effect on the price of our Ordinary Shares and impair your ability to sell your shares.

If Nasdaq subsequently delists our securities from trading, we could face significant consequences, including:

If we cease to qualify as a foreign private issuer, we would be required to comply fully with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, and we would incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that we would not incur as a foreign private issuer.

We qualify as a foreign private issuer as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 20-F. As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements, and our officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we are not required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. domestic issuers and are not required to disclose in our periodic reports all of the information that U.S. domestic issuers are required to disclose. We may cease to qualify as a foreign private issuer in the future, and consequently, we would be required to fully comply with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, and we would incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that we would not incur as a foreign private issuer.

Our Ordinary Shares may be thinly traded and you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.

Our Ordinary Shares may be “thinly-traded”, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our Ordinary Shares at or near bid prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation may be attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and might be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we become more seasoned. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. A broad or active public trading market for our Ordinary Shares may not develop or be sustained.

If we fail to meet applicable continued requirements, Nasdaq may delist our Ordinary Shares from trading, in which case the liquidity and market price of our Ordinary Shares could decline.

Although our Ordinary Shares are listed on Nasdaq, we cannot assure you that we will be able to meet the continued listing standards of Nasdaq in the future. If we fail to comply with the applicable listing standards and Nasdaq delists our Ordinary Shares, we and our Shareholders could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or pre-empts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” Because Ordinary Shares are listed on Nasdaq, such securities are covered securities. Although the states are pre-empted from regulating the sale of our securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. Further, if we were no longer listed on Nasdaq, our securities would not be covered securities and we would be subject to regulations in each state in which we offer our securities.

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance the operations and expansion of our business, and we do not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, you may only receive a return on your investment in our Ordinary Shares if the market price of our Ordinary Shares increases.

You may experience difficulties in effecting service of legal process, enforcing foreign judgments or bringing actions against Diginex Limited or its management named in the Annual Report on Form 20-F based on foreign laws.

Diginex Limited is incorporated under the laws of Cayman Islands. Diginex Limited conducts its operations outside the United States and a significant amount of our assets are located outside the United States. In addition, a majority of Diginex Limited’s directors and executive officers named in this Annual Report on Form 20-F reside outside the United States, and a significant amount of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against Diginex Limited or against them in the United States in the event you believe your rights have been infringed under the U.S. federal securities laws or otherwise. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of Cayman Islands or other relevant jurisdiction may render you unable to enforce a judgment against Diginex Limited assets or the assets of its directors and officers.

Future issuance of Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares could dilute the interests of existing shareholders.

Diginex Limited may issue additional Ordinary Shares in the future. The issuance of a substantial number of Ordinary Shares could have the effect of substantially diluting the interests of Diginex Limited’s shareholders. In addition, the sale of a substantial amount of Ordinary Shares in the public market, in a situation in which Diginex Limited acquires a company, a business or an asset and the acquired company or the owner of the business or asset receives Ordinary Shares as consideration and the acquired company or the owner of the business or asset subsequently sells its Ordinary Shares, or by investors who acquired such Ordinary Shares in a private placement, could have an adverse effect on the market price of Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares.

Future issuances of debt securities, which would rank senior to Diginex Limited Ordinary Shares upon our bankruptcy or liquidation, and future issuances of preferred shares, which could rank senior to Diginex Limited Ordinary Shares for the purposes of dividends and liquidating distributions, may adversely affect the level of return you may be able to achieve from an investment in Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares.

In the future, Diginex Limited may attempt to increase capital resources by offering debt securities. Upon bankruptcy or liquidation, holders of Diginex Limited debt securities, and lenders with respect to other borrowings Diginex Limited may make, would receive distributions of Diginex Limited available assets prior to any distributions being made to holders of our Ordinary Shares. Moreover, if Diginex Limited issues Preferred Shares, the holders of such preferred shares could be entitled to preferences over holders of Ordinary Shares in respect of the payment of dividends and the payment of liquidating distributions. Because Diginex Limited’s decision to issue debt or Preferred Shares in any future offering, or borrow money from lenders, will depend in part on market conditions and other factors beyond Diginex Limited’s control, Diginex Limited cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of any such future offerings or borrowings. Holders of Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares must bear the risk that any future offerings Diginex Limited conducts or borrowings Diginex Limited makes may adversely affect the level of return, if any, they may be able to achieve from an investment in Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares.

The trading price of Diginex Limited’ Ordinary Shares may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to investors.

The trading price of Diginex Limited’ Ordinary Shares has been volatile and could continue to fluctuate widely due to factors beyond Diginex’s control. This may happen due to broad market and industry factors, such as performance and fluctuation in the market prices or underperformance or deteriorating financial results of other listed companies in a similar industry. The securities of some of these companies have experienced significant volatility since their initial public offerings, including, in some cases, substantial price declines in the trading prices of their securities. Furthermore, securities markets may from time-to-time experience significant price and volume fluctuations that are not related to Diginex’s operating performance, which may materially and adversely affect the trading price of its Ordinary Shares.  

In addition to the above factors, the price and trading volume of Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares may be highly volatile due to multiple factors, including the following:

Any of these factors may result in large and sudden changes in the volume and price at which Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares will trade. In the past, shareholders of public companies have often brought securities class action suits against those companies following periods of instability in the market price of their securities. Diginex have been named in class action suits, which could divert a significant amount of its management’s attention and other resources from its business and operations and require it to incur significant expenses to defend the suit, which could harm Diginex’s results of operations. Such class action suit, whether or not successful, could harm Diginex’s reputation and restrict its ability to raise capital in the future. In addition, if a claim is successfully made against Diginex, it may be required to pay significant damages, which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.

Our insiders beneficially own approximately 17.2% of our total issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares or approximately 57.5% assuming all of the IPO and Founder Warrants have been exercised, which may limit your ability to influence our actions.

Our insiders beneficially own approximately 17.2% of our total issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares or approximately 57.5% assuming all of the IPO and Founder Warrants have been exercised and have the power to exert considerable influence over our actions through their ability to effectively control matters requiring shareholder approval, including the determination to enter into a corporate transaction or to prevent a transaction, regardless of whether other shareholders believe that any such transaction is in their or our best interests. We cannot assure you that the interests of our insiders will coincide with the interests of other shareholders. As a result, the market price of our Ordinary Shares could be adversely affected. Additionally, our insiders may effectively control all of our corporate decisions so long as they continue to own a substantial number of our Ordinary Shares.

Short sellers of Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares may be manipulative and may drive down the market price of its Ordinary Shares.

Short sellers of Diginex Limited stock may be manipulative and may attempt to drive down the market price of Diginex Limited’s Ordinary Shares. Short selling is the practice of selling securities that the seller does not own but rather has borrowed or intends to borrow from a third party with the intention of buying identical securities at a later date to return to the lender. A short seller hopes to profit from a decline in the value of the securities, as the short seller expects to pay less in the covering purchase than it received in the sale. It is therefore in the short seller’s interest for the price of the stock to decline, and some short sellers publish, or arrange for the publication of, opinions or characterizations regarding the relevant issuer, often involving deliberate misrepresentations of the issuer’s business prospects and similar matters calculated to create negative market momentum.

As a public entity in a highly digital world, Diginex Limited may be the subject of concerted efforts by profiteering short sellers to spread misinformation and misrepresentations in order to gain an illegal market advantage. In addition, the publication of intentional misinformation may also result in lawsuits, the uncertainty and expense of which could adversely impact Diginex’s business, financial condition, and reputation.

While utilizing all available tools to defend itself and its assets against these short seller efforts, there is limited regulatory control, making such efforts an ongoing concern for any public company. While Diginex moves forward in its business development strategies in good faith, there are no assurances that Diginex will not face these short sellers’ efforts or similar tactics by bad actors in the future, and the market price of its Ordinary Shares may decline as a result of their actions or the action of other short sellers.

Volatility in our Ordinary Shares price may subject us to securities litigation.

The market for our Ordinary Shares may have, when compared to seasoned issuers, significant price volatility and we expect that our share price may continue to be more volatile than that of a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may, in the future, be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management’s attention and resources.

The future sales of Ordinary Shares by existing shareholders may adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares.

As a company with relatively small public float we may experience greater stock price volatility, extreme price run-ups, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large public float companies. The sales of a substantial number of registered shares could result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our Ordinary Shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale or issuance of additional Ordinary Shares. We are unable to predict the effect that such sales may have on the prevailing market price of our Ordinary Shares. Despite such a decline in the public trading price, certain Selling Shareholders may still experience a positive rate of return on the Ordinary Shares due to the lower price that they purchased the Ordinary Shares compared to other public investors and may be incentivized to sell their Ordinary Shares when others are not.

Our Ordinary Shares are, in addition to the Nasdaq Capital Market, listed to trade on the Tradegate Exchange under the symbol “I0Q.” The cross-listing of our Ordinary Shares may adversely affect the liquidity and value of our Ordinary Shares.

Since February 20, 2025, our Ordinary Shares have, in addition to the Nasdaq Capital Market, been listed to trade on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and Tradegate Exchange under the symbol “I0Q.” Cross-listing of securities, also known as inter-listing or multi-listing, refers to a company listing its shares on multiple stock exchanges, including its domestic exchange and one or more foreign exchanges. This means our Ordinary Shares can be traded on different exchanges, providing access to a wider range of investors and potentially increasing liquidity. Trading of our Ordinary Shares in these markets will take place in different currencies (U.S. dollars on the Nasdaq Capital Market and Euros on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and Tradegate Exchange), and at different times (resulting from different time zones, different trading days and different public holidays in the United States and Germany). Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the currency of the primary listing exchange and the currency of the cross-listing exchange can impact the value of the securities to investors. Changes in exchange rates can affect the value of the investment, regardless of the Company’s underlying performance. The trading prices of our shares on these two markets may differ due to these and other factors, such as the timing of Diginex’s disclosures and press releases. Any decrease in the price of our Ordinary Shares on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and Tradegate Exchange could cause a decrease in the trading price of our Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Since Diginex completed a share consolidation on April 28, 2026, the Ordinary Shares of Diginex ceased to be quoted on either the Frankfurt Stock Exchange or Tradegate Exchange.

General Risks

If Diginex is unable to successfully identify, hire and retain skilled individuals, it will not be able to implement its growth strategy successfully.

Diginex’s growth strategy is based, in part, on its ability to attract and retain highly skilled professionals including software engineers. To date, Diginex has been able to locate and engage such employees; however, because of competition from other firms, Diginex may face difficulties in recruiting and retaining professionals of a caliber consistent with its business strategy in the future. If Diginex is unable to successfully identify and retain qualified professionals, it could materially and adversely affect Diginex’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Diginex’s employee retention plans may not be sufficient to retain key employees, including as it relates to equity compensation plans in place now and in the future.

Competition, including from new market entrants in the future, may cause Diginex’s revenue and earnings to decline.

With the increased importance placed on ESG, Supply Chain, and Carbon reporting there could be new market entrants that directly compete with Diginex. Such competitors may have significant competitive advantages, including, the ability to leverage their sales efforts and marketing expenditures across a broader portfolio of services, greater global presence, more established third-party relationships, greater brand recognition, greater financial strength, greater numbers of company and investor clients, larger research and development teams, larger marketing budgets and other advantages over Diginex.

While Diginex believes its products and services differentiate it from many such competitors, the business has relatively low barriers to entry and Diginex anticipates that such barriers to entry will become lower in the future. This could lead to fee compression or require Diginex to spend more to modify or adapt its offerings to attract and retain customers and remain competitive with the products and services offered by new competitors in the industry. Increased competition on the basis of any of these factors, including competition leading to fee reductions, could materially and negatively impact Diginex’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Diginex’s business lines rely on vendors and third-party service providers.

Diginex’s operations could be interrupted or disrupted if Diginex’s vendors and third-party service providers, or even the vendors of such vendors and third-party service providers, experience operational or other systems difficulties, terminate their service, fail to comply with regulations, raise their prices or dispute key intellectual property rights sold or licensed to, or developed for, Diginex. Diginex may also suffer the consequences of such vendors and third-party providers’ mistakes. Diginex outsources some of its operational and a large component of its ESG and supply chain product development and platform maintenance activities and accordingly depends on key relationships with vendors. For example, Diginex relies on vendors and third parties for certain services, including systems development and maintenance and hosting servers. The failure or capacity restraints of vendors and third-party services, a cybersecurity breach involving any third-party service providers or the termination or change in terms or price of a vendors and third-party software license or service agreement on which Diginex relies could interrupt Diginex’s operations. Replacing vendors and third-party service providers or addressing other issues with Diginex’s vendors and third-party service providers could entail significant delay, expense and disruption of service. As a result, if these vendors and third-party service providers experience difficulties, are subject to cybersecurity breaches, terminate their services, dispute the terms intellectual property agreements, or raise their prices, and Diginex is unable to replace them with other vendors and service providers, particularly on a timely basis, Diginex’s operations could be interrupted. If an interruption were to continue for a significant period, Diginex’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. Even if Diginex can replace vendors and third-party providers, it may be at a higher cost, which could also adversely affect Diginex’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Finally, notwithstanding Diginex’s efforts to implement and enforce strong policies and practices regarding third-party service providers, Diginex may not successfully detect and prevent fraud, incompetence or theft by its third-party service providers, which could adversely affect Diginex’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Diginex could be the victim of employee misconduct.

In recent years, there have been a number of highly publicized cases involving fraud, conflicts of interest, or other misconduct by employees, and there is a risk that an employee of, or contractor to, Diginex or any of its affiliates could engage in misconduct that adversely affects Diginex’s business. It is not always possible to deter such misconduct, and the precautions Diginex takes to detect and prevent such misconduct may not be effective in all cases. Misconduct by an employee of, or contractor to, Diginex or any of its affiliates, or even unsubstantiated allegations of such misconduct, could result in direct financial harm to Diginex.

Diginex may not be able to effectively manage its growth.

As Diginex grows its business, its employee headcount and the scope and complexity of its business lines may increase dramatically. Consequently, if Diginex’s business grows at a rapid pace, it may experience difficulties maintaining this growth and building the appropriate processes and controls. Growth may increase the strain on resources, cause operating difficulties, including difficulties in sourcing, logistics, maintaining internal controls, marketing, designing products and services and meeting customer needs.

In addition, Diginex currently operates and is seeking to run many business lines and, while these business lines are anticipated to be complimentary, there can be no assurance that Diginex will be able to effectively deliver internal or external resources effectively to each business line as and when needed, particularly when multiple business lines are experiencing high levels of need at the same time.

If Diginex does not adapt to meet these challenges, it could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Operational risk may materially and adversely affect Diginex’s performance and results.

Operational risk is the risk of an adverse outcome resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people, systems or external events. Diginex’s exposure to operational risk arises from routine processing errors, as well as extraordinary incidents, such as major systems failures or legal matters. Because Diginex’s business lines are reliant on both technology and human expertise and execution, Diginex is exposed to material operational risk arising from a number of factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of third-party service providers, counterparties or other third parties, failed or inadequate processes, design flaws and technology or system failures and malfunctions.
