DigiAsia Corp. Announces Voluntary Nasdaq Delisting in Strategic Response to Unlock Shareholder Value

Jakarta, Indonesia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 12, 2025) - DigiAsia Corp. (NASDAQ: FAAS) (NASDAQ: FAASW) (the "Company" or "DigiAsia") today announced that it has given formal notice to the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") of its intention to voluntarily delist its common stock and warrants from the Nasdaq Capital Market. In order to implement the delisting, the Company intends to file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on or about September 22, 2025. The delisting of the Company's common stock and warrants will take effect no earlier than ten days after the date of that Form 25 filing. The Company expects that as a result of this voluntary delisting, the last trading day of its common stock and warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market will be on or about October 2, 2025. The Company expects that in connection with the transaction referred to below, it will seek to suspend its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

On August 27, 2025, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel approved the Company's request to continue its listing on Nasdaq. As a condition for continued listing, the Company is required to file a Form 20-F with the SEC by September 15, 2025. However, the Company's board of directors (the "Board") has determined that the conditions necessary to meet the September 15, 2025, deadline for filing the Form 20-F will not be met. The Board also found that a significant portion of the cash raised from lenders and operations is being used to cover listing-related costs. Furthermore, raising additional capital from the public markets is currently challenging due to the stock price, and any further capital raises could place additional downward pressure on the stock price, thereby reducing shareholder value.

Additionally, during the week of September 11, 2025, DigiAsia's Board received a firm offer from the Indian fintech company PayMate. The offer values DigiAsia at $400 million and includes a $25 million cash component, with the remaining value to be provided through a share swap.

In light of this, the Board tasked management to immediately review all strategic sales and merger opportunities, with a thirty day deadline.

The Board has concluded that voluntarily going private is the right and necessary move that best protects shareholder value.

The initial capital from any future sale or merger will first be used to pay off the Company's lenders and vendor obligations, providing a clear path to financial stability. Furthermore, this move will significantly reduce the high costs and management time associated with being a public company and complying with Nasdaq and SEC regulations. This strategic approach will allow the Company to unlock substantial shareholder value in a structured manner.
