Re: Initial Public Offering


 


Ladies and Gentlemen:


 


This letter (this
 “Letter Agreement”) is being delivered to you in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement (the
 “Underwriting Agreement”) to be entered into by and between Fat Projects Acquisition Corp, a Cayman
Islands exempted company (the “Company”) and EF Hutton, division of Benchmark Investments, LLC formerly
known as Kingswood Capital Markets, division of Benchmark Investments, LLC, as representative (the
 “Representative”) of the underwriters (each, an “Underwriter” and collectively,
the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten initial public offering (the “Public
Offering”), of up to 11,500,000 of the Company’s units (including up to 1,500,000 units that may be purchased to
cover over-allotments, if any) (the “Units”), each comprised of one Class A ordinary share, having a par
or nominal value of US $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”), and one-half of one
redeemable warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase
one Ordinary Share at a price of US $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units shall be sold in the Public Offering pursuant
to a registration statement on Form S-1 and a prospectus (the “Prospectus”) filed by the Company with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are
defined in Paragraph 11 hereof.


 


In order to induce the Company
and the Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the Public Offering and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Fat Projects SPAC Pte. Ltd. (the “Sponsor”)
and each of the undersigned individuals, each of whom is a member of the Company’s board of directors, management team and/or senior
advisory board (each, an “Insider” and collectively, the “Insiders”), hereby agrees
with the Company as follows:


 


1.                 
The Sponsor and each Insider agree that if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a proposed Business Combination, then in connection
with such proposed Business Combination, it, he or she shall (i) vote all Founder Shares and any Ordinary Shares owned by it, him or her
in favor of any proposed Business Combination and (ii) not redeem any Ordinary Shares owned by it, him or her in connection with such
shareholder approval. If the Company engages in a tender offer in connection with any proposed Business Combination, each Insider agrees
that it, he or she will not seek to sell its, his or her Ordinary Shares to the Company in connection with such tender offer.


 


2.                  The
Sponsor and each Insider hereby agree that in the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within 18 months
from the closing of the Public Offering or such later period approved by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the
Company’s Charter, the Sponsor and each Insider shall take all reasonable steps to cause the Company to (i) cease all
operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days
thereafter, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the Ordinary Shares sold as part of the Units in the Public
Offering (the “Offering Shares”), at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount
then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released
to the Company to pay its taxes (less up to US $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then
outstanding Offering Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish all Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders of
the Company (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as
promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and
the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Cayman
Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. The Sponsor and each Insider agree not to
propose any amendment to the Company’s Charter that would modify (i) the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation
to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of
the Public Offering or (ii) the other provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination
activities, unless the Company provides its Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Offering Shares upon approval
of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account,
including interest (which interest shall be net of amounts released for payment of taxes) divided by the number of then outstanding
Offering Shares. The Sponsor and each Insider agree to waive its redemption rights with respect to Ordinary Shares and Founder
Shares owned by it in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s Charter (A) to modify the
substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Offering Shares if the Company does not complete a
Business Combination within 18 months from the closing of the Public Offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to
shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity.


 






     


     


    

 


The Sponsor and each Insider
acknowledge that it, he or she has no right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or any
other asset of the Company as a result of any liquidation of the Company with respect to the Founder Shares held by it, him or her. The
Sponsor and each Insider hereby further waive, with respect to any Founder Shares and Offering Shares held by it, him or her, if any,
any redemption rights it, he or she may have in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination, including, without limitation,
any such rights available in the context of a shareholder vote to approve such Business Combination or in the context of a tender offer
made by the Company to purchase Ordinary Shares (although the Sponsor, the Insiders and their respective affiliates shall be entitled
to liquidation rights with respect to any Offering Shares it or they hold if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination within
18 months from the date of the closing of the Public Offering).


 


3.                  During
the period commencing on the effective date of the Underwriting Agreement and ending 180 days after such date, the Sponsor and each
Insider shall not, without the prior written consent of the Representative, (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell,
hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or
establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder, with
respect to any Units, Ordinary Shares, Warrants or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, Ordinary
Shares owned by it, him or her, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of
the economic consequences of ownership of any Units, Founder Shares and Ordinary Shares, Warrants or any securities convertible
into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, Ordinary Shares owned by it, him or her, whether any such transaction is to be settled by
delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in
clause (i) or (ii). Each of the Insiders and the Sponsor acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the effective date of any release or
waiver, of the restrictions set forth in this Paragraph 3 or Paragraph 7 below, the Company shall announce the
impending release or waiver by press release through a major news service at least two business days before the effective date of
the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted shall only be effective two business days after the publication date of such
press release. The provisions of this Paragraph will not apply if the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not
for consideration and the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this Letter Agreement to the
extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.

4.                 
In the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account, the Sponsor (which for purposes of clarification shall not extend to any
other shareholders, members or managers of the Sponsor) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any and all loss, liability,
claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating,
preparing or defending against any litigation, whether pending or threatened, or any claim whatsoever) to which the Company may become
subject as a result of any claim by (i) any third party (other than the Company’s independent accountants) for services rendered
or products sold to the Company or (ii) a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a letter of intent, confidentiality
or other similar agreement for a Business Combination (a “Target”); provided, however, that such
indemnification of the Company by the Sponsor shall apply only to the extent necessary to ensure that such claims by a third party for
services rendered (other than the Company’s independent public accountants) or products sold to the Company or a Target do not reduce
the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) US $10.00 per share of the Offering Shares or (ii) such lesser amount per share
of the Offering Shares held in the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets as of the date of the liquidation
of the Trust Account, in each case, net of the amount of interest earned on the property in the Trust Account which may be withdrawn to
pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party (including a Target) who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to
the Trust Account and except as to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. In the event that any such executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against such third
party, the Sponsor shall not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Sponsor shall have the right
to defend against any such claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Company if, within 15 days following written
receipt of notice of the claim to the Sponsor, the Sponsor notifies the Company in writing that it shall undertake such defense.


 


5.                  To
the extent that the Underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 1,500,000 Units within
45 days from the date of the Prospectus (and as further described in the Prospectus), the Sponsor agrees to automatically surrender
to the Company for no consideration, for cancellation at no cost, a number of Founder Shares in the aggregate equal to the product
of 375,000 multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is 1,500,000 minus the number of Units purchased by the Underwriters
upon the exercise of their over-allotment option, and (ii) the denominator of which is 1,500,000. The surrender will be adjusted to
the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the Underwriters so that the number of Founder Shares will
equal of 20% of the sum of total number of Ordinary Shares and Founder Shares outstanding at such time. The
Sponsor and Insiders further agree that to the extent that the size of the Public Offering is increased or decreased, the Company
will effect a share capitalization or a share repurchase, as applicable, with respect to the Founder Shares immediately prior to the
consummation of the Public Offering in such amount as to maintain the number of Founder Shares at 20% of the sum of the total number
of Ordinary Shares and Founder Shares outstanding at such time.

6.                 
The Sponsor and each Insider hereby agree and acknowledge that: (i) the Underwriters and the Company would be irreparably injured
in the event of a breach by such Sponsor or an Insider of its, his or her obligations, as applicable, under Paragraphs 1, 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7(a), 7(b), and 9 of this Letter Agreement, (ii) monetary damages may not
be an adequate remedy for such breach, and (iii) the non-breaching party shall be entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to any other
remedy that such party may have in law or in equity, in the event of such breach.


 


7.                 
(a)The Sponsor and each Insider agree that it or he shall not Transfer any Founder Shares (or Ordinary Shares issuable upon
conversion thereof) until the earlier of (A) six months after the date of the Company’s initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent
to the Company’s initial Business Combination, (x) if the reported last sale price of the Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds
US $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, right issuances, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the
like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Company’s initial Business
Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar
transaction that results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property (the
 “Founder Shares Lock-up Period”).


 


(b)              
The Sponsor and each Insider agree that it, he or she shall not Transfer any Private Placement Warrants or Ordinary Shares
issued or issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination
(the “Private Placement Warrants Lock-up Period”, together with the Founder Shares Lock-up Period, the “Lock-up
Periods”).


 


(c)               Notwithstanding
the provisions set forth in Paragraphs 7(a) and 7(b), Transfers of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and
Ordinary Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Private Placement Warrants or the Founder Shares that are
held by the Sponsor, any Insider or any of their permitted transferees (that have complied with this Paragraph 7(c)), are
permitted (a) to the Company’s officers, directors or advisor, any affiliate or family member of any of the Company’s
officers, directors or advisor or any members of the Sponsor or any affiliates of the Sponsor; (b) in the case of an individual, by
gift to a member of such individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of such
individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such individual or to a charitable organization; (c) in the case of an
individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of such individual; (d) in the case of an individual, pursuant
to a qualified domestic relations order; (e) by private sales or transfers made in connection with the consummation of an initial
Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the securities were originally purchased; (f) in the event of the
Company’s liquidation prior to the completion of an initial Business Combination; (g) by virtue of the laws of Cayman Islands
or the Sponsor’s organizational documents upon liquidation or dissolution of the Sponsor; (h) to the Company for no value for
cancellation in connection with the consummation of an initial Business Combination, or (i) in the event of the Company’s
liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s
shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the
Company’s completion of an initial Business Combination; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a)
through (e), these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement with the Company agreeing to be bound by the transfer
restrictions herein and the other restrictions contained in this Agreement (including provisions relating to voting, the Trust
Account and liquidating distributions).

repayment of a loan and advances up to an aggregate of US $300,000 made to the Company by Fat Projects SPAC Pte. Ltd.; reimbursement
for any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating and consummating an initial Business Combination; payment to an
