Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Between February 13, 2023 and February 17, 2023, Innovative Payment Solutions, Inc. (the "Company"), entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") with 7 accredited investors (collectively the "Investors," and each an "Investor"), pursuant to which the Company received an aggregate of $425,000 in gross proceeds from the Investors through the initial closing of a private placement issuance of:

? Convertible Notes Promissory (the "Notes" and each a "Note"); and

? five-year warrants (the "Warrants" and each a "Warrant") to purchase an

aggregate 36,956,521 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock")

at an exercise price of $0.0115 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock

combinations, dilutive issuances and similar events).

The transactions contemplated the Securities Purchase Agreement initially closed on February 13, 2023. The Company may sell up to $600,000 of Notes and Warrants.

The Notes mature in 12 months, bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum, and are convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.0115 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock combinations, dilutive issuances and similar events).

The Notes may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The Company is under no obligation to register the shares of Common Stock underlying the Notes or the Warrants for public resale.

The Notes and the Warrants contain conversion limitations providing that a holder thereof may not convert the Notes or exercise the Warrants to the extent (but only to the extent) that, if after giving effect to such conversion, the holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the "Maximum Percentage") of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock immediately after giving effect to such conversion or exercise. A holder may increase or decrease its beneficial ownership limitation upon notice to the Company provided that in no event such limitation exceeds 9.99%, and that any increase shall not be effective until the 61st day after such notice.

The principal amount and accrued interest under the Notes will become due and payment upon the occurrence of uncured customary events of default

The Notes and Warrants described herein were sold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Investors are accredited investors who have purchased the securities as an investment in a private placement that did not involve a general solicitation. The Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States in the absence of an effective registration statement or exemption from the registration requirements.
