Purchases of ADSs by investors that have indicated an interest in this offering could reduce the liquidity of our ADSs and increase their price volatility. Certain investors, including affiliates of certain of our existing shareholders, have indicated non-binding interests in purchasing up to an aggregate of US$270 million of ADSs in this offering at the initial public offering price, as described on the cover page of this prospectus. These indications of interest do not constitute binding agreements or commitments to purchase ADSs. These investors may purchase more, fewer or no ADSs in this offering, and the underwriters may determine to sell more, fewer or no ADSs to them. There can be no assurance that any such purchases will be made. See "Underwriting." If these investors purchase a substantial portion of the ADSs offered in this offering and retain their holdings following this offering, fewer ADSs may be available for active trading in the public market. This could reduce the liquidity of our ADSs and increase the volatility of their market price. In addition, subsequent sales of a substantial number of ADSs by these investors, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our ADSs.The following investors have, severally and not jointly, indicated non-binding interests in purchasing up to…

Purchases of ADSs by investors that have indicated an interest in this offering could reduce the liquidity of our ADSs and increase their price volatility.
Certain investors, including affiliates of certain of our existing shareholders, have indicated non-binding interests in purchasing up to an aggregate of US$270 million of ADSs in this offering at the initial public offering price, as described on the cover page of this prospectus. These indications of interest do not constitute binding agreements or commitments to purchase ADSs. These investors may purchase more, fewer or no ADSs in this offering, and the underwriters may determine to sell more, fewer or no ADSs to them. There can be no assurance that any such purchases will be made. See "Underwriting."
If these investors purchase a substantial portion of the ADSs offered in this offering and retain their holdings following this offering, fewer ADSs may be available for active trading in the public market. This could reduce the liquidity of our ADSs and increase the volatility of their market price. In addition, subsequent sales of a substantial number of ADSs by these investors, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our ADSs.

We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Our corporate affairs are governed by our memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands, or the Companies Act, and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against our directors, actions by our minority shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our directors to us 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 the common law of England and Wales, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding, on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary duties of our 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 have a less developed body of securities laws than the United States. Some U.S. states, such as Delaware, 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 shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States.
Shareholders of Cayman Islands exempted companies
exempted companies like us have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records (other than the memorandum and articles of association, the register of mortgages and charges and any special resolutions passed by the shareholders) or to obtain copies of lists of shareholders of these companies. Under our post-offering memorandum and articles of association that will become effective immediately prior to completion of this offering, our directors may from time to time determine whether and to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and books of the Company or any of them shall be open to the inspection of shareholders not being directors, and no shareholder (not being a director) shall have any right to inspect any account or book or document of the Company except as conferred by law or authorized by the directors, provided that the shareholders shall receive the annual audited financial statements of the Company. 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.

If you or any other holders or beneficial owners
If you or any other holders or beneficial owners of ADSs bring a claim against us or the depositary in connection with matters arising under the deposit agreement or the ADSs, including claims under federal securities laws, you or such other holder or beneficial owner may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to such claims, which may have the effect of limiting and discouraging lawsuits against us or the depositary. If a lawsuit is brought against us or the depositary under the deposit agreement, it may be heard only by a judge or justice of the applicable trial court, which would be conducted according to different civil procedures and may result in different outcomes than a trial by jury would have, including outcomes that could be less favorable to the plaintiff(s) in any such action.

The voting rights of holders of ADSs are limited by the
The voting rights of holders of ADSs are limited by the terms of the deposit agreement, and you may not be able to exercise your right to direct the voting of the ordinary shares underlying your ADSs.
As a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not obliged by the Companies Act to call shareholders' annual general meetings. Our post-offering memorandum and articles of association provide that we may (but shall not be obliged to) in each calendar year hold a general meeting as our annual general meeting. As a holder of ADSs, you will not have any direct right to attend general meetings of our shareholders or to cast any votes at such meetings. You will only be able to exercise the voting rights which attach to the ordinary shares underlying your ADSs indirectly by giving voting instructions to the depositary in accordance with the provisions of the deposit agreement. Under the deposit agreement, you may vote only by giving voting instructions to the depositary, as holder of the ordinary shares underlying your ADSs. If we ask for your instructions, then upon receipt of your voting instructions, the depositary will try to vote the underlying ordinary shares in accordance with those instructions. If we do not instruct the depositary to ask for your instructions, the depositary may still vote in accordance with instructions you give, but it is not required to do so. You will not be able to directly exercise any right to vote with respect to the underlying ordinary shares unless you withdraw the shares and become the registered holder of such shares prior to the record date for the general meeting. When a general meeting is convened, you may not receive sufficient advance notice of the meeting to enable you to withdraw the shares underlying your ADSs and become the registered holder of such shares prior to the record date for the general meeting to allow you to attend the general meeting and to vote directly with respect to any specific matter or resolution to be considered and voted upon at the general meeting. In addition, under our post-offering memorandum and articles of association that will become effective immediately prior to completion of this offering, for the purposes of determining those shareholders who are entitled to attend and vote at any general meeting, our directors may close our register of members and/or fix in advance a record date for such meeting, and such closure of our register of members or the setting of such a record date may prevent you from withdrawing the ordinary shares underlying your ADSs and becoming the registered holder of such shares prior to the record date, so that you would not be able to attend the general meeting or to vote directly. Where any matter is to be put to a vote at a general meeting, the depositary will notify you of the upcoming vote and to deliver our voting materials to you, if we ask it to. We cannot assure you that you will receive the voting material in time to ensure you can direct the depositary to vote your shares. In addition, the depositary and its agents are not responsible for failing to carry out voting instructions or for their manner of carrying out your voting instructions. This means that you may not be able to exercise your right to direct how the shares underlying your ADSs are voted, and you may have no legal remedy if the shares underlying your ADSs are not voted as you requested.

We could be subject to additional tax liabilities due
We could be subject to additional tax liabilities due to changes in tax laws, tax audits or our growth, which could affect our profitability and increase our effective tax rate.
subject to complex tax laws and regulations of multiple jurisdictions in which we operate, which are subject to uncertain interpretation. Our interpretation and application of these laws and regulations as well as compliance with specific tax filing requirements, payment obligations and transfer pricing regulations require significant judgment and the use of assumptions and estimates. Our effective tax rate and tax filings reflect our interpretation of such tax laws. As a result, we are exposed to the risk that tax authorities in any of these jurisdictions could disagree with our interpretations of the applicable tax laws or our tax calculations' methodologies, including the classification of our revenues, the pricing of our intercompany transactions or the determinations of the jurisdictions to which profits are attributed. For example, a tax authority could challenge whether our supplies are taxable or exempt for VAT purposes, or could challenge our input VAT recovery methodology. We, including certain of our material subsidiaries, may from time to time be subject to tax audits and other similar proceedings with tax authorities in a number of jurisdictions. In certain cases, the applicable tax authority may challenge one or more tax positions that we have taken. We intend to resolve each of these audits in an efficient manner, including, where appropriate, through arbitration and/or court proceedings. These audits and other similar proceedings, when resolved, could result in additional taxes, including interest and penalties, which could, in turn, adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.

Mr. Adedotun Daniel Adekunle currently serves as CTO of our Company. He is responsible for our Company's technology strategy, engineering and IT infrastructure, including oversight of technology compliance standards and technology-related security and risk management. Mr. Adekunle is a Nigerian national based in Nigeria and has over 18 years of experience in financial technology and payments. He served as senior vice president of offline payments at Flutterwave Inc. from October 2022 to June 2024. Between July 2019 and October 2022, he held various positions at OPay Nigeria, including CTO, vice president of branchless banking and director of integrations and engineering lead. Earlier in his career, he served as deputy CTO at Venture Garden Group from 2016 to 2018. Mr. Adekunle obtained a Higher National Diploma in computer science from Yaba College of Technology in 2006 and a postgraduate certificate in artificial intelligence and machine learning from the University of Texas at Austin in 2020.
Our board of directors will consist of seven directors, including three independent directors, namely Mr. Trond Riiber Knudsen, Mr. Stephen Malcolmson and Mr. Brian Alan-Mingway Wong, upon the SEC's declaration of effectiveness of our registration statement on Form F-1 following completion of which this prospectus is a part offering and closing of the concurrent private placement. A director is not required to hold any shares in our company to qualify to serve as a director. The Listing Rules of the NYSE generally require that a majority of an issuer's board of directors must consist of independent directors. However, the Listing Rules of the NYSE permit foreign private issuers like us to follow "home country practice" in certain corporate governance matters. For instance, we rely on this "home country practice" exception and do not have a majority of independent directors serving on our board of directors.
Under our subscription agreement dated August 26, 2026 with SAHL, SAHL is entitled to nominate one director for appointment to our board for so long as SAHL and its affiliates together hold at least 2.5% of our issued share capital. Nomination and appointment remain subject to applicable law, NYSE requirements, our memorandum and articles of association, our directors' fiduciary duties and the applicable qualifications and eligibility criteria. SAHL may permanently and irrevocably renounce this right by written notice after the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the closing of this offering and (ii) the date on which the restrictions under its lock-up agreement are waived or released in full. Upon delivery of that notice, the nomination right and our related obligations cease regardless of SAHL's continuing ownership, and SAHL cannot subsequently re-exercise the right. If its nominee is then serving on our board, SAHL must procure that director's resignation within 15 business days after the notice. This right arises under the separate subscription agreement and will not terminate merely because the governance provisions of our shareholders agreement terminate upon completion of this offering.
A director who is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction with the Company shall declare the nature of his interest at a meeting of the directors. A general notice given to the directors by any director to the effect that he is a member of any specified company or firm and is to be regarded as interested in any contract or transaction which may thereafter be made with that company or firm shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of interest in regard to any contract so made or transaction so consummated. Subject to the rules of NYSE and disqualification by the chairman of the relevant board meeting, a director may vote in respect of any contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction notwithstanding that he may be interested therein and if he does so his vote shall be counted and he may be counted in the quorum at any meeting of the directors at which any such contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction shall come before the meeting for consideration. The directors may from time to time at their discretion exercise all the powers of the company to raise or borrow money and to mortgage or charge its undertaking, property and assets (present and future) and uncalled capital or any part thereof, to issue debentures, debenture stock, bonds and other securities, whether outright or as collateral security for any debt, liability or obligation of the company or of any third party.

Accordingly, these investors, acting in their respective capacities described above, may purchase more, fewer or no ADSs in this offering, and the underwriters are under no obligation to allocate or sell any ADSs to these investors. The underwriters will receive the same underwriting discounts and commissions on any ADSs purchased by these investors, acting in their respective capacities described above, as on other ADSs sold to the public in this offering. Therefore, the following table does not reflect any potential purchase by these investors who are also our existing shareholders or their affiliates. If any of our ADSs are purchased by these investors, the number and percentage of our ordinary shares beneficially owned by them immediately after this offering will differ from those set forth in the following table.
