Amendment to Kong Employment Agreement
On December 9, 2025, Currenc Group Inc., an exempted company incorporated and registered in the Cayman Islands (the “Company” or “Currenc”) and Alexander King Ong Kong, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, entered into an Amendment to Employment Agreement (the “Kong Amendment”), which amends the original Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated August 15, 2025 (the “Kong Employment Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Kong Amendment, if Mr. Kong is terminated or asked to resign as a result of change in control of the Company, in addition to the Final Compensation (as defined in the Kong Amendment), for a period of sixty (60) months following the date of termination, Mr. Kong will be entitled to (i) receive his base salary as per the Kong Employment Agreement, (ii) continue participating in the Company’s group medical and dental plans, (iii) have all unvested equity awards granted to Mr. Kong immediately vest and the restricted period immediately expire and (iv) receive payment for all accrued but unused vacation. Mr. Kong will continue to be entitled to any bonus compensation otherwise payable pursuant to the Kong Employment Agreement and may elect to receive his base salary in a lump sum at time of termination.
Except as described above, the terms of the Kong Employment Agreement remain unchanged.
Second Amendment to Eng Employment Agreement
On December 9, 2025, the Company and Wan Lung Eng, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, entered into a Second Amendment to Employment Agreement (the “2nd Eng Amendment”), which amends the original Employment Agreement dated April 10, 2025, as amended on October 30, 2025 (the “Eng Employment Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the 2nd Eng Amendment, if Mr. Eng is terminated or asked to resign as a result of change in control of the Company, in addition to the Final Compensation (as defined in the 2nd Eng Amendment), for a period of sixty (60) months following the date of termination, Mr. Eng will be entitled to (i) receive his base salary as per the Eng Employment Agreement, (ii) continue participating in the Company’s group medical and dental plans, (iii) have all unvested equity awards granted to Mr. Eng immediately vest and the restricted period expire and (iv) receive payment for all accrued but unused vacation. Mr. Eng will continue to be entitled to any bonus compensation otherwise payable pursuant to the Eng Employment Agreement and may elect to receive his base salary in a lump sum at time of termination.
The 2nd Eng Amendment also provides that in the event Mr. Eng becomes entitled to payments and benefits from the Company in connection with change in control or otherwise (“Company Payments”) and such payments would trigger excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company must make an additional “gross-up” payment to Mr. Eng. The “gross-up” payment is intended to cover the excise tax and any related payroll or income taxes, such that Mr. Eng retains the same net amount of the Company Payments as if no excise tax had applied.
Except as described above, the terms of the Eng Employment Agreement remain unchanged.
The foregoing descriptions of the Kong Amendment and the 2nd Eng Amendment are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Kong Amendment and the 2nd Eng Amendment, respectively, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 to this Report on Form 6-K.
