Shareholders of Amber DWM are expected to exchange their shares for a combination of newly issued Class A and Class B ordinary shares of iClick.
At the EGM, shareholders will also deliberate on further proposals related to the merger, including:
- - Amendment of Memorandum and Articles: A transition from the ninth amended memorandum to a tenth version will be proposed and discussed.
- - Name Change: A proposal to change the company name from iClick Interactive Asia Group Limited to Amber International Holding Limited will be on the agenda, effective immediately before the merger's completion.
- - Authorized Share Capital Variation: Shareholders will also consider a proposal regarding the re-designation of existing shares in line with the merger.

December 18, 2024, in the Cayman Islands, will have the right to vote at this critical meeting. American Depositary Share (ADS) holders in New York will also be able to vote through their representative bank,
JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A.. Notifications regarding this event have been formally filed with the
