Item
1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
April 24, 2024, HWH International Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Credit Facility Agreement (the “Agreement”)
with Alset Inc., a Texas corporation and the Company’s indirect, majority stockholder (“Alset Inc.”), pursuant to which
Alset Inc. has provided the Company a line of credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) which provides a maximum, aggregate
credit line of up to US $1,000,000.
Pursuant
to the Agreement, the Company may request an advance (each, an “Advance”) on the Credit Facility. Each advance shall bear
a simple interest rate of three percent (3%) per annum. Each Advance and all accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable at
the first (1st) anniversary of the effective date of the Agreement. HWH may at any time during the term of the Agreement prepay
a portion or all amounts of its indebtedness without penalty. Each advance shall not be secured by a lien or other encumbrance on any
HWH assets, but shall be solely a general unsecured debt obligation of HWH.
The
foregoing description is only a summary of the material provisions of the Credit Facility and is qualified in its entirety by reference
to a copy of the Credit Facility Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference
herein.
Item
2.03 – Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The
information set forth under Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
Item
4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
On
April 23, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors dismissed MaloneBailey, LLP (“MaloneBailey”) as its independent registered
public accounting firm at the recommendation of the Company’s Audit Committee.
The
reports of MaloneBailey on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2022 and 2023
did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles. In connection with the audits of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended November
30, 2022 and 2023, and subsequently, there were no disagreements with MaloneBailey on any matters of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure or auditing scope and procedures which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of MaloneBailey, would have
caused MaloneBailey to make reference to the matter in their report. There were no reportable events (as that term is described in Item
304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K) during the two fiscal years ended November 30, 2022 and 2023, or subsequently.
The
Company has provided a copy of the foregoing disclosures to MaloneBailey and requested that MaloneBailey furnish it with a letter addressed
to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether MaloneBailey agrees with the above statements. A copy of MaloneBailey’s
letter, dated April 23, 2024, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K.
On
April 23, 2024, the Company engaged Grassi & Co., CPAs, P.C. (“Grassi”) as the Company’s independent registered
public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. The decision to engage Grassi was recommended by the Company’s
Audit Committee and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.
During
the two most recent fiscal years and through the Engagement Date, the Company has not consulted with Grassi regarding either:
1.
The application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that
might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Company nor oral advice
was provided that Grassi concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing
or financial reporting issue; or
2.
Any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K and the related
instructions thereto) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K).

CREDIT
FACILITY AGREEMENT
THIS
CREDIT FACILITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated and effective April 24, 2024 (the “Effective
Date”), is made between Alset Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas, having its principal office
at 4800 Montgomery Lane Suite 210, Bethesda, MD 20814 and/or its successors and assigns (the “Lender”) and HWH International
Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, having its principal office at 4800 Montgomery Lane Suite 210,
Bethesda, MD 20814 (the “Borrower”). The Borrower and the Lender may also be individually known herein as a “Party”,
and collectively be known herein as the “Parties”.
WHEREAS,
the Lender desires to provide to the Borrower and the Borrower desires to receive from the Lender a line of credit facility (the
“Credit Facility”) that provides a maximum, aggregate credit line of up to One Million United States Dollars (US$1,000,000.00)
(the “Credit Line Amount” being the maximum possible principal of the Credit Facility) and to do so pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and conditions set forth herein, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
1.
Line of Credit. On the Effective Date, the Lender shall extend to the Borrower a credit line for a maximum amount equal to an
amount not exceeding the Credit Line Amount. From time to time during the term of this Agreement, the Borrower may request an advance
on the Credit Facility (each being an “Advance Request”) from the Lender. Any advance of money under the Credit Facility
by the Lender to the Borrower will be referred to as an “Advance”. The Lender will advise the Borrower within three
(3) Business Days after receipt of an Advance Request if the Lender will make an Advance to the Borrower and the amount of the Advance.
The Lender may refuse any Advance Request made by the Borrower without cause and without explanation or offer to fund an amount less
than requested by the Borrower. Neither this Agreement nor any provision herein will obligate the Lender to approve any Advance Request.
If the Lender approves any Advance Request, the advance of money under that Advance Request will be made within seven (7) Business Days
after approval of the Advance Request by the Lender, as the case may be, by wire transfer to the Borrower’s designated bank account.
The “Business Day” shall mean any day of the week other than Saturday, Sunday or other day that is recognized as a
holiday in the United States of America (US).
2.
Interest. Each Advance shall bear a simple interest rate of three percent (3%) per annum (based upon a 365-day or 366-day year).
3.
Repayment. Each Advance and all accrued but unpaid interest on the Credit Facility (the “Principal Indebtedness”)
thereon shall, at the discretion of the Lender, be due and payable, in cash, on the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective
Date (the “Advance Maturity Date”). An Advance Maturity Date may be extended by the Lender who made the Advance for
a one-time extension not to exceed the thirty (30) consecutive days immediately following the Advance Maturity Date. Each Advance shall
not be secured by a lien or other encumbrance on any Borrower assets (including, without limitation, ownership interests in the Borrower’s
subsidiaries or assets of any of Borrower’s subsidiaries) but shall be solely a general unsecured debt obligation of the Borrower.
4.
Prepayment. The Borrower may, at its option, at any time during the term of this Agreement, prepay a portion or all amounts of
the Principal Indebtedness to the Lender, without incurring penalties, additional interest, or other fees or charges.
5.
Event of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events shall constitute a default under and material breach of this Agreement
by the Borrower (the “Event of Default”):
(a)
The failure of the Borrower to pay when due any Advance or interest on the Credit Facility or other charge with respect to the Principal
Indebtedness, or the amount of any fee or payment required of Borrower under this Agreement.
(b)
The Borrower seeks an order of relief from creditors under the bankruptcy laws of US and the petition for relief is not dismissed or
withdrawn within sixty (60) days of filing, and the Lender shall be immediately notified in writing.
(c)
A tax lien by a Governmental Authority with competent jurisdiction is filed against the assets of the Borrower and the tax lien is for
an obligation in excess of US$100,000.00, and the Lender shall be immediately notified in writing.
(d)
The Borrower’s board of directors and shareholders approve resolutions to completely dissolve the Borrower, and the Lender shall
be immediately notified in writing.
(e)
The Borrower ceases to conduct operations for more than ninety (90) consecutive days and the cessation of operations is not due to circumstances
beyond the Borrower’s control, and the Lender shall be immediately notified in writing.
(f)
The Borrower’s operating subsidiaries assign all or substantially all of their aggregate operating assets for the benefit of their
creditors, and the assignment is not in accordance with an agreement or plan approved by the Borrower as a shareholder or partner or
member of the operating subsidiaries, and the Lender shall be immediately notified in writing.
(g)
A civil judgment is ordered or granted by a court of competent jurisdiction in favor of a third-party against the Borrower in a judgment
amount in excess of US$100,000.00 and that civil judgment is not settled, paid in full, waived or appealed by the Borrower within sixty
(60) days of entry of judgment by the court, and the Lender shall be immediately notified in writing.
6.
Additional Provisions Regarding an Event of Default.
(a)
Cure of Default. Upon occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lender shall give the Borrower written notice of default. The Borrower
shall have ten (10) Business Days after receipt of written notice of default from the Lender to cure the Event of Default. If the Event
of Default is due solely to the Borrower’s failure to make timely payment required under this Agreement, the Borrower may cure
the Event of Default by making full payment of the past due amount. Any Event of Default by the Borrower which is not cured within ten
(10) Business Days after receiving a written notice of default from the Lender constitutes a material breach of this Agreement by the
Borrower.
(b)
Indemnification. The Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Lender or any other Person assigned by the Lender or representing
the Lender (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against: (i) all Borrower’s demands, claims, liabilities
and obligations to pay when due any debts, principal, interest, fees, expenses, and other amounts the Borrower owes the Lender now or
later, whether under this Agreement, or otherwise, including, without limitation, all obligations, liabilities, or obligations of the
Borrower assigned to the Lender, and to perform Borrower’s duties under this Agreement (collectively, the “Claims”)
claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (ii) all losses or expenses
in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by such Indemnified Person as a result of, following from, consequential to, or arising from transactions
between the Lender and the Borrower (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except for Claims and/or losses directly
caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. This Clause 6(b) shall survive until all statutes of
limitation with respect to the Claims, losses, and expenses for which indemnity is given shall have run.
(c)
Remedies upon an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default that is not timely cured
in accordance with this Agreement, or waived by the Lender, any Advance, interest on the Credit Facility, other charge with respect to
the Principal Indebtedness and all late charges for past due sums due hereunder shall become immediately due and payable to the Lender.

joint venture, association, company, partnership, Governmental Authority or other entity. “Governmental Authority”

or organization of such entity. “Material Adverse Effect” means (i) a material adverse change in, or a material adverse
effect upon, the financial condition of the Borrower and its operating subsidiaries, taken as a whole; (ii) a material impairment of
the ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations under any loan or credit facility agreement to which it is a party; or (iii) a

15.

telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument and agreement. Delivery
of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail in pdf. format shall be as effective as

the Parties are intended to authenticate this writing and to have the same force and effect as manual signatures. Electronic signature
and, when used elsewhere in this Agreement, “electronic transmission,” means any electronic sound, symbol, or process attached

18.
Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder or any other documents delivered
pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations
and warranties shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Advance or interest accrued thereon shall remain unpaid but shall
expire upon payment in full of those amounts.
19.
No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement. No failure by the Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power
or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.
The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Agreement, are cumulative and not exclusive
of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Laws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the execution and
delivery of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any default by the Lender.
20.
Definitions. The definitions of terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever
the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include”,
“includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”. The
word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”. Unless the context requires
