This Supplement No. 1, dated October 20, 2023 (this “Supplement”), updates and supplements the joint proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus dated October 2, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus/Consent Solicitation”) of Innovative International Acquisition Corp.

(“Zoomcar”), Innovative International Merger Sub Inc. and Greg Moran, in the capacity as the representative of the Zoomcar stockholders and certain matters related to the prospective consummation (the “Closing”) of the Business Combination, including, without limitation, Zoomcar’s contingent expectation to waive, in whole or in part, a material condition to the Closing set forth in the Merger Agreement.
As previously disclosed, an extraordinary general meeting of IOAC’s shareholders will be held on October 25, 2023 to approve the Business Combination, among other proposals described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus/Consent Solicitation. IOAC filed the Proxy Statement/Prospectus/Consent Solicitation with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as part of a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-269627) (the “Registration Statement”).
This Supplement is being filed by IOAC with the SEC to supplement certain information contained in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus/Consent Solicitation. Except as otherwise set forth below, the information set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus/Consent Solicitation remains unchanged. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus/Consent Solicitation.
This Supplement is not complete without, and may not be utilized except in connection with, the Proxy Statement/Prospectus/Consent Solicitation, including any additional supplements and amendments thereto.
You should read carefully and in their entirety this Supplement and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus/Consent Solicitation and all accompanying annexes. In particular, you should review and consider carefully the matters discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 59 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus/Consent Solicitation.

This supplement to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus/Consent Solicitation is dated October 20, 2023.
Contingent Waiver of Closing Condition
The Merger Agreement contains a condition to Closing (the “Minimum Cash Condition”), which is waivable by Zoomcar, that, as of the Closing, IOAC have cash and cash equivalents, including funds remaining in IOAC’s trust account (the “Trust Account”) (after deducting the aggregate amount of payments required to be made in connection with the redemption rights to IOAC shareholders) and the proceeds from the certain financing transactions described in the Merger Agreement, and after payment of IOAC transaction expenses, Zoomcar transaction expenses and other liabilities due at the Closing, of at least $50,000,000.
Pursuant to a Contingent Waiver of Minimum Cash Condition, as of October 19, 2023, Zoomcar’s conditional expectation to waive, in whole or in part, the Minimum Cash Condition, is contingent upon fulfillment by IOAC, Innovative International Sponsor I LLC (“Sponsor”) and Ananda Small Business Trust (“Ananda Trust,” and together with IOAC and the Sponsor, the “IOAC Parties”) of the following conditions (collectively, including fulfillment by the IOAC Parties of the best efforts commitments described in this paragraph, the “Closing Financing Condition”), such that at the Closing, IOAC shall have cash and cash equivalents, including funds remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to the completion and payment of redemptions), and proceeds from prospective financing transactions, if any, in which the IOAC Parties and Zoomcar may engage (together, the “Prospective Financing Transactions,” provided, however, that, as of the date of such Contingent Waiver of Minimum Cash Condition, no such transactions have been conclusively identified or binding terms thereof negotiated or agreed) prior to the Closing that result in cash proceeds deliverable to Zoomcar at the Closing of no less than $20,000,000, after payment of all unpaid IOAC transaction expenses, Zoomcar transaction expenses and any other liabilities due at the Closing, including the taking of the actions described below by the IOAC Parties. As part of the Contingent Waiver of Minimum Cash Condition, including the Closing Financing Condition contained therein, the Sponsor agreed to use best efforts to support the satisfaction of the Closing Financing Condition, including by agreeing to utilize, whether by transfer, forfeiture and cancellation or otherwise, the Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of IOAC held by the Sponsor to incentivize non-redeeming IOAC shareholders or other investors to buy or hold and not redeem IOAC public shares through the date on which the Business Combination occurs (the “Closing Date”) and by agreeing, contingent upon and concurrent with the Closing, forgive or, to the extent permissible under the existing terms of outstanding promissory notes or other applicable instruments, to convert to equity any liabilities or repayment obligations to Sponsor or its affiliates. In addition also as part of the Contingent Waiver of Minimum Cash Condition, including the Closing Financing Condition contained therein, Ananda Trustor affiliates thereof, may, prior to the Closing, purchase up to such number of newly-issued IOAC securities, as determined in the sole discretion of Ananda Trust, as may be needed for the fulfillment, together with any amounts retained in the Trust Account as of the Closing Date and proceeds from other Prospective Financing Transactions, if any, of the Closing Financing Condition, on mutually agreeable terms that are not materially less economically favorable than the terms of other equivalent investments in IOAC securities that may occur prior to the Closing and are not in effect as of October 19, 2023. Zoomcar has also agreed to reasonably cooperate with IOAC and take necessary and commercially reasonable actions relative to the satisfaction of unpaid IOAC transaction expenses and Zoomcar transaction expenses.
Zoomcar Marketing Service Agreement
Additionally, Zoomcar entered into a Marketing Services Agreement, effective as of October 2, 2023, with Outside The Box Capital (“OTBC”), pursuant to which Zoomcar agreed to issue, within seven business days following the Closing, 20,000 shares of New Zoomcar common stock to OTBC in consideration for services to be provided to Zoomcar or New Zoomcar thereunder. The New Zoomcar shares issuable to OTBC will be subject to a six-month trading restriction from the issue date, subject to customary limited exceptions.
