Item
2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
As previously disclosed in a Current Report on
Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), on December 29, 2022, Prime Number Acquisition
I Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “PNAC”) entered into a Business Combination Agreement
(as it may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”)
with Prime Number Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”), Delaware corporation established for the purpose to become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of a newly incorporated exempted Cayman Islands company (“PubCo”), NOCO-NOCO PTE. LTD. (“noco-noco”),
a Singapore private company limited by shares, and certain shareholders of noco-noco collectively holding a controlling interest (together
with other shareholders of noco-noco subsequently joining the transactions, the “Sellers”) entered into a Business
Combination Agreement. Prime Number Holding Limited, formed as the PubCo on December 28, 2022, and Prime Number New Sub Pte. Ltd.,
formed as New SubCo on January 25, 2023, joined as parties to the Business Combination Agreement on February 3, 2023.
On August 16, 2023, an
aggregate of $125,000 (the “Monthly Extension Payment”) was deposited by noco-noco upon request by and as the designee
of the sponsors of the Company, into the trust account of the Company, as a result of which, the Company has extended the period of time
it has to consummate its initial business combination by one month from August 17, 2023 to September 17, 2023 (the “August Extension”).
The August Extension is the fourth of the six one-month extensions permitted under the Company’s governing documents.
In connection with the Monthly
Extension Payment, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note of $125,000 (the “Note”) to noco-noco.
The Note is non-interest bearing
and payable (subject to the waiver against trust provisions) on the earlier of (i) consummation of the Company’s initial business
combination and (ii) the date of the liquidation of the Company. The principal balance may be prepaid at any time, at the election
of the Company. The holder of the Note has the right, but not the obligation, to convert the Note, in whole or in part, respectively,
into private placement shares (the “Working Capital Shares”) of the Company, as described in the prospectus of the
Company (File Number 333-262457), by providing the Company with written notice of its intention to convert the Note at least two business
days prior to the closing of the Company’s initial business combination. The number of Working Capital Shares to be received by
the holder in connection with such conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal
amount payable to the holder, by (y) $10.00.
The
issuance of the Note was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended.
A copy of the Note is attached
as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The disclosures set forth in this
Item 2.03 are intended to be summaries only and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Note.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information disclosed
under Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02 to the extent required herein.
The Working Capital Shares, if any, (1) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferable or salable by noco-noco until
30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial business combination and (2) are entitled to registration rights.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On
August 16, 2023, the Company held a special meeting of the stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) in connection

that was filed publicly by the PubCo with the SEC in connection with the Business Combination and was declared effective by the SEC on
July 25, 2023 (the “Registration Statement”). Capitalized terms used but not defined this Current Report on Form 8-K
shall have the meanings set forth in the Registration Statement.

New York, New York
FOR

on this Note shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as the Noco-Noco may from time to time designate
by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this note (the “Note”).
| 1. | Principal. The principal balance of this Note shall be payable by the Maker to the Noco-Noco upon

(such date, the “Maturity Date”). The principal balance may be prepaid at any time prior to the Maturity Date without
penalty. Under no circumstances shall any individual, including but not limited to any officer, director, employee or stockholder of the
Maker, be obligated personally for any obligations or liabilities of the Maker hereunder. |
| 2. | Conversion Rights. The Noco-Noco has the right, but not the obligation, to convert this Note, in

| (b) | Effect of Conversion. If the Maker timely receives notice of the Noco-Noco’s intention to
convert this Note at least two business days prior to the closing of a Business Combination, this Note shall be deemed to be converted
on such closing date. At its expense, the Maker will, upon receipt of such conversion notice, as soon as practicable after consummation
of a Business Combination, issue and deliver to Noco-Noco, at Noco-Noco’s address as requested by Noco-Noco in its conversion notice,

as a result of any fractional Shares as described herein. |
| 3. | Interest. This Note does not carry any interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note, provided,

| 4. | Application of Payments. All payments shall be applied first to payment in full of any costs incurred
in the collection of any sum due under this Note, including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s and auditor’s fees and
expenses, then to the payment in full of any late charges, and finally to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of this Note. |

part of its property, or the making by it of any assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the failure of the Maker generally to pay
its debts as such debts become due, or the taking of corporate action by the Maker in furtherance of any of the foregoing. |
| (c) | Involuntary Bankruptcy, etc. The entry of a decree or order for relief by a court having jurisdiction
in the premises in respect of the Maker in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or appointing

of time for payment; and the Maker agrees that any real estate that may be levied upon pursuant to a judgment obtained by virtue hereof
or any writ of execution issued hereon, may be sold upon any such writ in whole or in part in any order desired by the Noco-Noco. |

and consummation of the transaction, the outcome of any potential litigation, government or regulatory proceedings and other risks and
uncertainties. There may be additional risks that neither noco-noco nor PNAC presently know or that noco-noco and PNAC currently believe
are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In light of the
significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty
by noco-noco, PNAC, and their respective directors, officers or employees or any other person that noco-noco and PNAC will achieve their
