The Sponsor also agreed that in the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account, it will indemnify and hold harmless Alset Capital Acquisition Corp. against any and all loss, liability, claims, damage and expense whatsoever which Alset Capital Acquisition Corp. may become subject as a result of any claim by any vendor or other person who is owed money by Alset Capital Acquisition Corp. for services rendered or products sold to or contracted for Alset Capital Acquisition Corp., or by any target business with which Alset Capital Acquisition Corp. has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, but only to the extent necessary to ensure that such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense does not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account; provided that such indemnity shall not apply if such vendor or prospective target business executes an agreement waiving any claims against the Trust Account.

 

The Insider Letter provides that the Sponsor may not transfer any Founder Shares (except to certain permitted transferees as described in the Insider Letter) until the earlier of (i) six months after the date of the consummation of Alset Capital Acquisition Corp.’s initial business combination or (ii) subsequent to the Issuer’s initial Business Combination, (x) if the reported last sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds US $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, right issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Issuer’s initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Issuer completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property.

 

The description of the Insider Letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by Alset Capital Acquisition Corp. as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K filed by Alset Capital Acquisition Corp. with the SEC on February 4, 2022 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.3).
