Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

Pursuant to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Charter”) of Blue World Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”), the Company currently has until October 2, 2023 to complete its initial business combination, provided however the Company may extend the period of time to consummate a business combination up to April 2, 2024, each by an additional one-month extension, subject to Blue World Holdings Limited, the sponsor of the Company (the “Sponsor”) and/or its designee, depositing $60,000 into the trust account of the Company.

On September 27, 2023, a total of $60,000 was deposited into the trust account of the Company (the “Extension Fee”) to extend the timeline to complete a business combination for an additional one month from October 2, 2023 to November 2, 2023 (the “Extension”). Such deposit of the Extension Fee is evidenced by an unsecured promissory note (the “Extension Note”) in the principal amount of $60,000 to the Sponsor.

The Extension Note bears no interest and is payable in full upon the consummation of the Company’s business combination (such date, the “Maturity Date”). The following shall constitute an event of default: (i) a failure to pay the principal within five business days of the Maturity Date; (ii) the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy action, (iii) the breach of the Company’s obligations thereunder; (iv) any cross defaults; (v) an enforcement proceedings against the Company; and (vi) any unlawfulness and invalidity in connection with the performance of the obligations thereunder, in which case the Extension Note may be accelerated.

The payee of the Extension Note, the Sponsor, has the right, but not the obligation, to convert the Extension Note, in whole or in part, respectively, into private units (the “Units”) of the Company, each consisting of one Class A ordinary share, one-half of one warrant, and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Class A ordinary share upon the consummation of a business combination, as described in the prospectus of the Company (File Number 333- 261585), by providing the Company with written notice of the intention to convert at least two business days prior to the closing of the business combination. The number of Units to be received by the Sponsor in connection with such conversion shall be an amount determined by dividing (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount payable to such Payee by (y) $10.00.

The issuance of the Extension Note was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The copy of the Extension Note is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The disclosures set forth in this Item 2.03 are intended to be summaries only and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Extension Note.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information disclosed under Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02 to the extent required herein. The Units (and the underlying securities) issuable upon conversion of the Extension Note, if any, (1) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferable or salable by the Sponsor until the completion of the Company’s initial business combination, and (2) are entitled to registration rights.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On September 28, 2023, the Company issued a press release, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, announcing the Extension.
