Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed in its definitive proxy statement (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 4, 2024, Swiftmerge Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) will hold an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders on March 13, 2024, and any adjournments thereof (herein the “Meeting”) to consider and vote upon the Extension Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the NTA Requirement Amendment Proposal (as each term is defined in the Definitive Proxy Statement) and, if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal (as defined in the Definitive Proxy Statement).

The Company and Swiftmerge Holdings LP (the “Sponsor”) intend to enter into non-redemption agreements (the “Non-Redemption Agreements”) with certain investors pursuant to which, if such investors do not redeem (or validly rescind any redemption requests on) their public Class A ordinary shares of the Company (the “Non-Redeemed Shares”) in connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Sponsor will agree to transfer to such investors private Class A ordinary shares held by the Sponsor immediately following the consummation of an initial business combination if they continue to hold such Non-Redeemed Shares through the Meeting.

Until the earlier of (a) the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination; (b) the liquidation of the trust account; and (c) 36 months from consummation of the Company’s initial public offering (or such later date as may be approved by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the Company’s charter), the Company will maintain the investment of funds held in the trust account in (i) interest-bearing United States government securities within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “ICA”), having a maturity of 185 days or less, (ii) in money market funds meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the ICA, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations or (iii) in other interest bearing accounts (including demand deposits) as permitted by the ICA that would not be considered United States government securities within the meaning of the ICA. The Company further confirms that it will not utilize any funds from its trust account to pay any potential excise taxes that may become due upon a redemption of the public shares, including in connection with a liquidation of the Company if it does not effect a business combination prior to its termination date.

The Non-Redemption Agreements are not expected to increase the likelihood that the Extension Proposal is approved by shareholders but is expected to increase the amount of funds that remain in the Company’s trust account following the Extraordinary General Meeting.

The per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account on March 11, 2024 was approximately $10.92 per public Class A ordinary share.

NO ASSURANCES ARE MADE THAT A NON-REDEMPTION INCENTIVE OF ANY KIND WILL BE OFFERED AND THE ACTUAL TERMS OF ANY NON-REDEMPTION INCENTIVE MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THE TERMS DESCRIBED HEREIN.

The foregoing description of the form of Non-Redemption Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Non-Redemption Agreement filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

The Company and its directors and executive officers and other persons may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the Company’s shareholders in respect of the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Extension Proposal and related matters.

Forward-Looking Statements

The information included herein and in any oral statements made in connection herewith include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target” or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, although not all

forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the issuance of the private Class A Ordinary Shares to the non-redeeming Shareholders, additional voting and non-redemption agreements, the amount of funds that will be in the Trust Account on the date of the Meeting and the funds that will remain in the Trust Account following the Meeting and approval of the Extension Proposal and the timing thereof. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of the Company. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; the inability of the Company to successfully or timely implement the extension or that the approval of the shareholders of the Company is not obtained; the amount of redemption requests made by the Company’s public shareholders; and those factors described or referenced in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents of the Company filed, or to be filed, from time to time with the SEC, including the Definitive Proxy Statement. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that the Company presently knows or that the Company currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date hereof. The Company anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause the Company’s assessments to change. However, while the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the Company specifically disclaim any obligation to do so except as otherwise required by applicable law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date hereof. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
