Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 16, 2023, Plum Acquisition Corp. I (the “Company”) issued an unsecured promissory note in the total principal amount of up to $250,000 (the “Promissory Note”) to Mr. Kanishka Roy, individually and as a member of Plum Partners LLC. Mr. Roy funded the initial principal amount of $250,000 on March 16, 2023. The Promissory Note does not bear interest and matures upon the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination with one or more businesses or entities. In the event the Company does not consummate a business combination, the Promissory Note will be repaid upon the Company’s liquidation only from amounts remaining outside of the Company’s trust account, if any. The Promissory Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of which automatically trigger the unpaid principal balance of the Promissory Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Promissory Note becoming immediately due and payable.
