**PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT NO. 1**

**(to Proxy Statement/Prospectus dated November 5, 2025)**

**PROXY STATEMENT FOR EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OF<br> CARTICA ACQUISITION CORP**

**PROSPECTUS FOR UP TO<br> 6,677,559 ORDINARY SHARES,<br> 27,400,000 WARRANTS AND<br> 27,400,000 ORDINARY SHARES UNDERLYING WARRANTS OF<br> NIDAR INFRASTRUCTURE LIMITED**

This Proxy Statement/Prospectus Supplement No. 1 (this "Supplement") supplements the proxy statement/prospectus dated November 5, 2025 that was mailed by Cartica Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company ("Cartica"), to its shareholders on or about November 7, 2025 (as supplemented, the "proxy statement/prospectus"), in connection with the proposed business combination (the "Business Combination") among Cartica, Nidar Infrastructure Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company ("Nidar"), and Yotta Data and Cloud Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Nidar ("Merger Sub"), pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 24, 2024, by and among Cartica, Nidar and Merger Sub, as amended. Nidar and Cartica each filed the proxy statement/prospectus with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Nidar also filed a registration statement on Form F-4 (Registration No. 333-283189), of which the proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, which became effective on November 5, 2025 in accordance with the provisions of Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Capitalized terms used in this Supplement and not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the proxy statement/prospectus.

The purpose of this Supplement is to update and supplement the information contained in the proxy statement/prospectus with information contained in the Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Current Report") filed by Cartica with the SEC on November 25, 2025. The Current Report is attached to, and forms a part of, this Supplement.

This Supplement modifies and supersedes, in part, the information in the proxy statement/prospectus and is not complete without, and may not be delivered or utilized except in combination with, the proxy statement/prospectus, including any amendments or supplements thereto. Any information in the proxy statement/prospectus that is modified or superseded by the information in the Current Report shall not be deemed to constitute a part of the proxy statement/prospectus except as modified or superseded by this Supplement. This Supplement should be read in conjunction with the proxy statement/prospectus, and if there is any inconsistency between the information in the proxy statement/prospectus and this Supplement, you should rely on the information in this Supplement.

**YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE MATTERS DISCUSSED UNDER "<u>RISK FACTORS</u>" IN THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS.**

**Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the securities to be issued in connection with the Business Combination or determined if the proxy statement/prospectus or this Supplement is accurate or adequate. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.**

**The date of this Supplement is November 25, 2025.**

**Item 8.01 Other Events.**

As previously disclosed, on June 24, 2024, Cartica Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company ("<u>Cartica</u>"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "<u>Business Combination Agreement</u>"), by and among Cartica, Nidar Infrastructure Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company ("<u>Nidar</u>"), and Yotta Data and Cloud Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Nidar ("<u>Merger Sub</u>"). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Cartica (such merger, the "<u>First Merger</u>"), with Cartica surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Nidar (Cartica, as the surviving entity of the First Merger, the "<u>Surviving Entity</u>"). Immediately following the consummation of the First Merger, the Surviving Entity will merge with and into Nidar (such merger, the "<u>Second Merger</u>"), with Nidar surviving the Second Merger (such company, as the surviving entity of the Second Merger, the "<u>Surviving Company</u>" and, such transactions, collectively, the "<u>Business Combination</u>").

On November 6, 2025, Cartica filed the definitive proxy statement/prospectus (the "<u>proxy statement/prospectus</u>") for the solicitation of proxies in connection with the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of Cartica (the "<u>Extraordinary General Meeting</u>") to approve proposals related to the Business Combination. The Extraordinary General Meeting was originally scheduled to be held on November 28, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, virtually over the Internet by means of a live audio webcast at https://www.cstproxy.com/carticaspac/egm2025. Cartica has decided to postpone the Extraordinary General Meeting to allow additional time for Nidar and Cartica to supplement disclosure in the proxy statement/prospectus to provide information with respect to certain events since the filing and mailing of the proxy statement/prospectus, which supplemental disclosure will be included in a supplement to the proxy statement/prospectus filed by each of Nidar and Cartica. There is no change to the purpose or any of the proposals to be acted upon at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

The Extraordinary General Meeting will now be held on December 4, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, virtually over the Internet by means of a live audio webcast at https://www.cstproxy.com/carticaspac/egm2025. As a result of the postponement of the Extraordinary General Meeting, Cartica has extended the deadline for delivery of redemption demands from holders of Cartica's Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, issued in Cartica's initial public offering to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on December 2, 2025. Shareholders who wish to withdraw their previously submitted redemption demands may do so by contacting Cartica's transfer agent.

All of Cartica's shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 3, 2025 (the "<u>Record Date</u>") are entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Cartica's shareholders who have not already voted, or wish to change their vote, are strongly encouraged to submit their proxies as soon as possible. Valid proxies previously submitted by shareholders will continue to be valid for purposes of the postponed Extraordinary General Meeting.

For more information on how to vote, please call Cartica's proxy solicitor Advantage Proxy, at (877) 870-8565 (Toll Free) or (206) 870-8565 (Collect) or email ksmith@advantageproxy.com. More details about the Business Combination and the proposals to be voted upon at the Extraordinary General Meeting can be found in the proxy statement/prospectus, which is available at www.sec.gov.

**Forward-Looking Statements**

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes "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, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Such statements may include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Business Combination, the Extraordinary General Meeting and supplemental disclosure for the proxy statement/prospectus. The forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K reflect Cartica's current views about future events and are subject to numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in circumstances that may cause actual events to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. Cartica does not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). In particular, there can be no assurance that the Business Combination will close in a timely manner or at all.

These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political, and legal conditions; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Cartica, Nidar or others related to the Business Combination; the inability of Nidar to obtain commitments to purchase securities in the amount contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; the amount of redemptions by Cartica's public shareholders in connection with the Business Combination; the inability to complete the Business Combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of Cartica or to satisfy other conditions to closing; changes to the proposed structure of the Business Combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval of the Business Combination; the ability to meet the applicable stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the Business Combination; the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of Nidar as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition and the ability of Nidar to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and retain its management and key employees; costs related to the Business Combination; changes in applicable laws or regulations; Nidar's estimates of expenses and profitability and underlying assumptions with respect to shareholder redemptions and purchase price and other adjustments; any downturn or volatility in economic conditions; changes in the competitive environment affecting Nidar or its customers, including Nidar's inability to introduce new services or technologies; the impact of pricing pressure and erosion; supply chain risks; risks to Nidar's ability to protect its intellectual property and avoid infringement by others, or claims of infringement against Nidar; the possibility that Cartica or Nidar may be adversely affected by other economic, business and/or competitive factors; Nidar's estimates of its financial performance; and other risks and uncertainties set forth in the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Forward Looking Statements" in the proxy statement/prospectus and in reports Cartica files with the SEC.

If any of these risks materialize or Cartica's assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. While forward-looking statements reflect Cartica's good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. Cartica disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events or other changes after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, except as required by applicable law. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based only on information currently available to Cartica.

**Additional Information and Where to Find It**

Cartica mailed the proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents to its shareholders as of the Record Date.
