Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On January 23, 2026, the Company commenced an offer to exchange (the “Offer to Exchange”) eligible outstanding warrants for shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Company’s offer to exchange, dated January 23, 2026 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Exchange”), and the related letter(s) of transmittal and consent, notice(s) of withdrawal and other offer materials (together with the Offer to Exchange, as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer Materials”), each of which is filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
The Offer to Exchange relates to eligible holders of the Company’s outstanding: (i) common stock purchase warrants (the “Common Warrants”), (ii) Series A common stock purchase warrants (the “Series A Warrants”), (iii) Series B common stock purchase warrants (the “Series B Warrants”), (iv) pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), (v) Bridge placement agent common stock purchase warrants issued in connection with the Company’s bridge financing on June 18, 2024 (the “Bridge Placement Agent Warrants”), (vi) placement agent common stock purchase warrants issued in connection with the Company’s private placement dated November _5, 2024 (the “Placement Agent Warrants”), and (vii) Series A placement agent warrants issued in connection with the Company’s private placement dated November 5, 2024 (the “Series A Placement Agent Warrants” and, together with the Common Warrants, Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants, Pre-Funded Warrants, Bridge Placement Agent Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants, the “Existing Warrants”).
Under the Offer to Exchange, subject to the terms and conditions described in the Offer Materials, the Company is offering to exchange the Existing Warrants for shares of Common Stock at the following exchange ratios (each, an “Exchange Ratio” and collectively, the “Exchange Ratios”): (i) for each one (1) Common Warrant tendered and accepted for exchange, twenty thousand (20,000) shares of Common Stock; (ii) for each one (1) Series A Warrant tendered and accepted for exchange, ten (10) shares of Common Stock; (iii) for each one (1) Series B Warrant tendered and accepted for exchange, ten (10) shares of Common Stock; (iv) for each one (1) Pre-Funded Warrant tendered and accepted for exchange, ten (10) shares of Common Stock; (v) for each one (1) Bridge Placement Agent Warrant tendered and accepted for exchange, ten (10) shares of Common Stock; (vi) for each one (1) Placement Agent Warrant tendered and accepted for exchange, ten (10) shares of Common Stock; and (vii) for each one (1) Series A Placement Agent Warrant tendered and accepted for exchange, ten (10) shares of Common Stock.
In addition, concurrently with the Offer to Exchange, the Company may solicit consents from holders of certain classes of Existing Warrants to amend the governing warrant instruments and related agreements to facilitate the Offer to Exchange and/or the post-offer treatment of any Existing Warrants that remain outstanding (the “Warrant Amendments”). The Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants may be amended as a class with the consent of holders of a majority in interest of such warrants. The scope, terms and applicable approval thresholds for any Warrant Amendments will be described in the Offer Materials.
The Company intends to issue the shares of Common Stock offered in the Offer to Exchange in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and is not filing a registration statement on Form S-4 or otherwise registering the issuance of such shares in connection with the Offer to Exchange.
The Offer to Exchange is conditioned upon, among other things, the adoption by the Company’s stockholders of an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock (the “Authorized Share Increase”) and the filing and effectiveness of such amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Company expects to seek such stockholder approval in connection with the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders and related proxy solicitation.
The Offer to Exchange is being made only pursuant to the Offer Materials. Holders of Existing Warrants should read the Offer Materials carefully because they contain important information about the Offer to Exchange.

Bridge Financing / Private Placement
Also on January 23, 2026, the Company launched a Bridge Financing being conducted as a private placement to “accredited investors” pursuant to Rule 506(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
Pursuant to the Bridge Financing, the Company is offering up to $5,000,000 of units (the “Units”), with a minimum offering amount of $2,000,000 required to consummate the offering on or before February 28, 2026 (the “Offering Termination Date”). If the minimum offering amount is not achieved by the Offering Termination Date, funds received from prospective purchasers will be returned without interest. If the minimum offering amount is achieved, the Company may hold one or more closings up to the earlier of (i) the sale of the maximum offering amount or (ii) the Offering Termination Date.
Each Unit consists of (i) one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) and (ii) one warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock (the “Warrant”). The purchase price is $1,000 per Unit. The Preferred Stock has a senior liquidation preference to the Common Stock and is convertible into Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $0.05 per share, subject to certain reset and other provisions described in the PPM and the certificate of designation for the Preferred Stock. Each Warrant is exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $0.0625 per share, subject to adjustment.
The Bridge Financing securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration.
The Company has engaged ThinkEquity LLC as exclusive placement agent for the Bridge Financing on a reasonable best efforts basis.
The Company’s investor presentation used in connection with the Bridge Financing is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The information in this Item 7.01 is intended to be furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Exhibit99.1
General - This presentation does not in and of itself constitute an offer or invitation for the sale or purchase of securities and has been prepared solely for informational purposes . The information contained in this presentation (this “Presentation”) has been prepared for the exclusive use of the selected persons to whom it is addressed (“Recipients”), solely for the purpose of their own independent evaluation with respect to a potential investment (the “Proposed Investment”) in Zoomcar Holdings, Inc . (together with its subsidiaries, “Zoomcar”), and for no other purpose . This Presentation is subject to updating, completion, revision, verification and further amendment . None of Zoomcar, or its respective affiliates has authorized anyone to provide interested parties with additional or different information . No securities regulatory authority has expressed an opinion about the securities discussed in this Presentation and it is an offense to claim otherwise . The information contained herein does not purport to be all - inclusive and must be read in conjunction with Zoomcar’s Private Placement Memorandum, including the risk factors detailed therein . Nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute investment, legal, tax, financial, accounting or other advice and Recipients should retain their own professional advisors to review and evaluate the economic, legal, tax, financial, accounting and other consequences of the Proposed Investment . Neither this Presentation nor its delivery to Recipient shall in and of itself constitute an offer to sell, invitation or other solicitation of an offer to buy any securities pursuant to the Proposed Investment or otherwise, nor shall there by any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction . Only the express provisions of any agreement, if and when it is executed, shall have any legal effect in connection with the Proposed Investment between the parties thereto . This Presentation is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision . All information herein speaks only as of ( 1 ) the date of this Presentation, in the case of information about Zoomcar, or ( 2 ) the date of such information, in the case of information from persons other than Zoomcar . Zoomcar is a smaller reporting company and an "emerging growth company" within the meaning of the JOBS Act . As a result, Zoomcar will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements . Confidentiality - This information is being distributed to Recipients on a confidential basis . By receiving this information, Recipients agree to maintain the confidentiality of the information contained herein and agree that no portion of this Presentation may either be reproduced in whole or in part and that neither this Presentation nor any of its contents may be given or disclosed to any third party without the express written permission of Zoomcar . Any reproduction or distribution of this Presentation, in whole or in part, or the disclosure of its contents, without the prior written consent of Zoomcar is prohibited . By accepting this Presentation, each Recipient agrees : (i) to maintain the confidentiality of all information that is contained in this Presentation and not already in the public domain, (ii) to use this Presentation for the sole purpose of independent evaluation of the Proposed Investment and (iii) that we may enforce the foregoing confidentiality obligation against you or anyone to whom you give this Presentation (or related Private Placement Memorandum) by court action for an injunction and/or damages . In addition, you agree to return the Presentation (and related Private Placement Memorandum) and all accompanying or related documents to us upon request . Forward - Looking Information - This Presentation contains forward - looking statements . Any statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this Presentation are forward - looking statements . Such forward - looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements as to any, future results of operations and financial position, our ability to restructure our business, including with respect to cost optimization, quality improvement and debt restructuring, and the ability to grow our business, including by increasing access to vehicles and planned products and services, our future business strategy and plans, our ability to sell to our serviceable addressable market, our ability to enhance our competitive position and other expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions, plans, prospects, financial results or strategies regarding Zoomcar and the future held by the Zoomcar management team, and the products and markets and expected future performance and market opportunities of Zoomcar . These forward - looking statements may be identified by the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “expect,” “estimate,” “future,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “strategy,” “opportunity,” “plan,” “project,” “possible,” “potential,” “project,” “predict,” “scales,” “representative of,” “valuation,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward - looking . Forward - looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties . Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward - looking statements in this Presentation, including but not limited to : (i) Zoomcar’s financial condition, including Zoomcar’s ability to continue as a going concern, (ii) Zoomcar’s ability to service its debt and other cash obligations, (iii) Zoomcar’s ability to navigate current and future litigation, (iv) Zoomcar’s ability to retain its listing, (v) the potential inability of Zoomcar to achieve its commercialization and development plans, (vi) the enforceability of Zoomcar’s intellectual property, including the potential infringement on the intellectual property rights of others, and (vii) the risk of downturns and a changing regulatory landscape in the highly competitive industry in which Zoomcar operates . The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive . Recipients should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the "Risk Factors" section of the Private Placement Memorandum and the Form 10 - K and Form 10 - Qs filed by Zoomcar and incorporated by reference therein and other documents filed or to be filed by Zoomcar from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission . These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward - looking statements . Forward - looking statements speak only as of the date they are made . Recipients are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward - looking statements, and Zoomcar assumes no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward - looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise . Zoomcar does not give any assurance that it will achieve its expectations . Financial Information ; Use of Projections - The financial and operating forecasts and projections contained herein represent certain estimates of Zoomcar as of the date thereof and include projected financial numbers, including revenues, valuation and other metrics derived therefrom . Zoomcar’s independent public accountants and auditors have not examined, reviewed or compiled the forecasts or projections and, accordingly, does not express an opinion or other form of assurance with respect thereto . Furthermore, none of Zoomcar or its management team can give any assurance that the forecasts or projections contained herein accurately represents Zoomcar’s future operations or financial condition . Such information is subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information, including the risks and uncertainties described in the "Risk Factors" section of the Private Placement Memorandum and the Form 10 - K and Form 10 - Qs filed by Zoomcar and incorporated by reference therein . Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the prospective results are indicative of the future performance of Zoomcar or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in these materials . Some of the assumptions upon which the projections are based inevitably will not materialize and unanticipated events may occur that could affect results . Therefore, actual results achieved during the periods covered by the projections may vary materially from the projected results . Inclusion of the prospective financial information in these materials should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the prospective financial information are indicative of future results or that any results will be achieved . Use of Non - GAAP Financial Matters - This Presentation includes certain financial measures not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) with respect to Zoomcar’s expected future performance and other metrics derived therefrom . Specifically, this Presentation includes EBITDA . These non - GAAP financial measures may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing Zoomcar’s financial results . These non - GAAP measures are an addition, and not a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss, operating loss or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our liquidity, profitability or performance . Not all of the information necessary for a quantitative reconciliation of these non - GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is available without unreasonable efforts at this time . Zoomcar believes that these forward - looking non - GAAP measures of financial results provide useful supplemental information about Zoomcar . Zoomcar’s management uses these forward - looking non - GAAP measures to evaluate Zoomcar’s projected financial and operating performance . However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of these non - GAAP measures and their nearest GAAP equivalents . For example, other companies may calculate non - GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore Zoomcar’s non - GAAP measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies . The presentation of such non - GAAP measures, which may include adjustments to exclude unusual or non - recurring items, should not be construed as an inference that Zoomcar’s future results and cash flows will be unaffected by other unusual or nonrecurring items . Industry and Market Data - This Presentation has been prepared by Zoomcar and includes market data and other statistical information from third - party sources . Although Zoomcar believes these third - party sources are reliable as of their respective dates, none of Zoomcar, or any of its respective affiliates has independently verified the accuracy or completeness of this information . Some data are also based on Zoomcar’s good faith estimates, which are derived from both internal sources and the third - party sources described above . None of Zoomcar, its respective affiliates, nor their respective advisors, directors, officers, employees, members, partners, shareholders or agents make any representation or warranty with respect to the accuracy of such information . None of Zoomcar or its respective affiliates, advisors, directors, officers, employees, members, partners, shareholders or agents or the providers of any such third - party information or any other person are responsible for any errors or omissions therein (negligent or otherwise), regardless of the cause, or the results obtained from the use of such content . Each of Zoomcar and its respective affiliates, advisors, directors, officers, employees, members, partners, shareholders and agents expressly disclaims any responsibility or liability for any damages or losses in connection with the use of such information herein . Important Information - Neither the delivery of this Presentation nor the purchase of any of the securities, assets, businesses or undertakings of Zoomcar after the date hereof shall, under any circumstances, be construed to indicate or imply that there has been no change in the affairs of Zoomcar since the date hereof . This Presentation does not purport to be all - inclusive or to contain all the information that a Recipient may desire in deciding whether or not to proceed with the Proposed Investment and is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision . No representation or warranty, express or implied, is or will be given by Zoomcar or its respective affiliates, representatives, advisors, directors or employees and no responsibility or liability or duty of care is or will be accepted by Zoomcar or its respective affiliates, representatives, advisers, directors or employees as to the accuracy, completeness, reliability or reasonableness of the information or opinions contained in this Presentation or supplied herewith or any other written or oral information made available to any interested party or its advisers in connection with the Proposed Investment or otherwise in connection with this Presentation . To the fullest extent possible, by receiving this Presentation the Recipient acknowledges and agrees it is not relying on any information set forth in this Presentation and releases Zoomcar and each of its respective affiliates, representatives, advisers, directors and employees in all circumstances from any liability with respect to the Recipient’s participation, or proposed participation, in the Proposed Investment . In addition, no responsibility or liability or duty of care is or will be accepted by Zoomcar or its affiliates, representatives, advisers, directors or employees for updating or revising this Presentation or providing any additional information to any Recipient and any such liability is expressly disclaimed . Accordingly, none of Zoomcar or its affiliates, advisers, directors or employees shall be liable for any direct, indirect or consequential loss or damage suffered by any person as a result of relying on any statement in or omission from this Presentation or in any other information or communications in connection with the Proposed Investment . In particular, no representation or warranty of Zoomcar or its respective affiliates is given as to the achievement or reasonableness of future projections, management targets, estimates, prospects or returns, if any . Recipients should make their own investigation of the Proposed Investment, Zoomcar and any related entity and all information provided . Zoomcar reserves the right, without reasons or advance notice, to change or terminate the procedure relating to the Proposed Investment or any other transaction involving Zoomcar or to terminate negotiations at any time prior to the signing of any binding agreement in relation thereto . Trademarks and Intellectual Property - All trademarks, service marks, and trade names of Zoomcar or its affiliates as used herein are trademarks, service marks, or registered trade names of Zoomcar or its affiliates . Any other product, company names, or logos mentioned herein are the trademarks and/or intellectual property of their respective owners, and their use is solely for convenience and is not intended to, and does not imply, a relationship with Zoomcar, or an endorsement or sponsorship by or of Zoomcar or any other party .

Risk Factors - This list is not exhaustive . Actual results may differ materially due to risks and uncertainties described in Zoomcar’s SEC filings, including the most recent Form 10 - Q . History of Losses & Liquidity Risk - Zoomcar has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows and may require additional capital to fund operations; financing may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. Marketplace Dependence - The business relies on continued participation and engagement of both vehicle hosts and guests; any imbalance, reduced adoption, or attrition could adversely affect growth and revenue. Geographic Concentration & Market Exposure - A significant portion of Zoomcar’s operations and growth prospects are concentrated in key markets, including India. Adverse economic conditions, regulatory changes, or shifts in consumer behavior in these markets could materially impact results. Regulatory, Legal & Insurance Exposure - Operations are subject to evolving transportation, marketplace, insurance, and consumer protection regulations, as well as potential liability from vehicle damage, accidents, or disputes. Technology, Cybersecurity & Data Privacy Risks Platform reliability, system outages, data breaches, or failures of third - party service providers could disrupt operations and harm reputation. Macroeconomic & Demand Sensitivity \ - Economic downturns, reduced discretionary spending, fuel price volatility, or global events may negatively impact travel demand and platform usage. Public Company & Listing Risks - Compliance with public company reporting obligations and stock exchange listing requirements involves significant costs and may affect liquidity and valuation. 2
