Roadzen Inc., a global leader in AI at the convergence of insurance and mobility, today announced that the Company’s Special Committee of Independent Directors has unanimously approved a plan for certain related parties to release $3.5 million of short-term debt in exchange for ordinary shares of RDZN. The related parties that have executed binding term sheets and agreed to the exchange include Roadzen’s CEO, Rohan Malhotra, and Pi Capital International Inc. and its affiliate Marco Polo Securities, Inc., which is principally owned by Roadzen’s Chairman of the Board.
The number of shares into which the accrued liabilities will be exchanged for common stock will be based on the amount of debt released divided by a share price equal to the greater of $2.80 per share or the 30-trading day volume weighted average price beginning 3 days following the date on which the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, its Form 10-Q for the first quarter ended June 30, 2024.
“I am confident that Roadzen’s AI platform is well positioned to achieve substantial commercial success as its technology has already begun to be adopted by participants in the large, recession- resistant, global auto insurance industry. We believe that the integration of computer vision with telematics powered by proprietary AI algorithms should accelerate the transformation of motor vehicles into mobile, intelligent operating systems, in both new and existing vehicles,” commented Steven Carlson, Chairman of the Board at Roadzen.
Rohan Malhotra, founder and CEO of Roadzen, commented, “I am pleased to do this exchange to further back Roadzen’s long-term vision and potential. This action helps simplify the Company’s balance sheet and positions the Company to better execute its mission of transforming the auto insurance industry with AI.”
