The Company is the parent company of a group (the "Group") which operates a leading financial technology platform providing alternative sources of credit to traditional retail banks for the unbanked and underbanked population of Southeast Asia, with more than 8 million registered users. The Group's performance was significantly affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Southeast Asian economy and the platforms' users, which resulted in a substantial increase in non-performing (consumer) loans, as well as other factors impacting the global capital markets and investor community including, but not limited to, US-China tensions, the Russia-Ukraine war and interest rate increases by central banks.
