On January 26, 2023, International Media Acquisition
Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),entered into a Loan and Transfer Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the
“Loan Agreement”), by and among the Company, Content Creation Media, LLC (the “Sponsor”), and the lender named
therein (the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Sponsor is permitted to borrow $385,541.10 (the “Initial Loan”)
and $128,513.70 per month, at the Company’s discretion (each a “Monthly Loan” and collectively with the Initial Loan,
the “Loan”) which will in turn be loaned by the Sponsor to the Company, to cover certain extension payments to the trust account
of the Company. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Loan shall be payable within five (5) days of the date on which Company consummates
its de-SPAC transaction.
As additional consideration for the Lender making the Initial Loan
available to Sponsor, the Company shall issue 500,000 shares of Common Stock to the Lender (the “Initial Securities”), and
as additional consideration for the lender making each Monthly Loan available to Sponsor, the Company shall issue 166,700 shares of Common
Stock to Lender for each Monthly Loan. Such securities shall be subject to no transfer restrictions or any other lock-up provisions, earn
outs or other contingencies, and shall promptly be registered pursuant to the first registration statement filed by the Company or the
surviving entity following the de-SPAC Closing in connection with the de-SPAC Closing, or if no such registration statement is filed in
connection with the de-SPAC Closing, the first registration statement filed subsequent to the de-SPAC Closing, which will be filed no
later than 45 days after the de-SPAC Closing and declared effective no later than 90 days after the de-SPAC Closing.
The proceeds of the Loan will be used for the Company to fund amounts
deposited into the Company’s trust account in connection with each extension.
The foregoing description of the Loan Agreement is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the full text of the Loan Agreement, a form of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit
10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Postponement of Special Meeting of Stockholders
and Increase in Extension Payment
On January 26, 2023, the Company filed a supplement
to its proxy statement dated January 9, 2023 in connection with its upcoming special meeting of stockholders (the “Meeting”)
initially scheduled to be held on January 26, 2023 to announce, among other things, the postponement of the Meeting to 9:00 a.m. on January 27, 2023.
The postponement was due to a change in the terms
of the funds to be deposited into the Company’s trust account in connection with each extension to $385,541.10 being deposited for the initial
3 month extension and $128,513.70 being deposited for each additional monthly extension. In connection with the change in the amount being funded,
the Company will solicit investors to reverse their redemption notices.
The deadline for holders of our public shares to demand that such shares
be converted for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account, less taxes payable, has been extended to 5:00
p.m. Eastern time on January 26, 2023. Stockholders who have previously submitted shares
for redemption or who have voted by proxy do not need to do anything unless they change their decision as to redemption or voting.
A copy of the proxy supplement is filed as Exhibit
99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements included in this Current Report
on Form 8-K are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words
such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,”
“intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “future,” “outlook,”
and 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. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to,
statements regarding estimates and forecasts of other performance metrics and projections of market opportunity. These statements are
based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Current Report on Form 8-K and on the current expectations of IMAQ’s
and the Target Company’s respective management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are
provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an
assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible
to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of IMAQ and the Target Company.
Some important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements could include
changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions.
These forward-looking statements are subject to
a number of risks and uncertainties, including, the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the SPA, including the
risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely
affect IMAQ or the expected benefits of the Stock Acquisition, if not obtained; the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the
Stock Acquisition; matters discovered by the parties as they complete their respective due diligence investigation of the other party;
the ability of IMAQ to maintain the listing of IMAQ’s shares on Nasdaq; costs related to the Stock Acquisition; IMAQ’s failure
to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of each tranche of the Stock Acquisition, including the initial approval of the SPA by the
stockholders of IMAQ, the risk that the Stock Acquisition may not be completed by the stated deadlines and the potential failure to obtain
an extension of the stated deadlines; the inability to complete the financing contemplated in connection with the Stock Acquisition and
the purchase of 100% of the equity of the Target Company; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against IMAQ or
the Target Company related to the Stock Acquisition; the attraction and retention of qualified directors, officers, employees and key
personnel following the Stock Acquisition, IMAQ’s ability following the Stock Acquisition to compete effectively in a highly competitive
market; the ability to protect and enhance the Target Company’s corporate reputation and brand; the impact from future regulatory,
judicial, and legislative changes in the Target Company’s industry; the uncertain effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and other pandemics
on the production of movies and attendance at movie theaters; changes in the viewing patterns of customers and consumer behavior, as well
as evolving technologies, distribution platforms and packaging; the substantial investment of capital required to produce and market films
and other programming; the inability to compete for talent, content, audiences, subscribers, advertising and distribution in the Indian
and global entertainment industry; future financial performance of IMAQ following the Stock Acquisition; the ability of IMAQ to forecast
and maintain an adequate rate of revenue growth and appropriately plan its expenses; the risk that the Stock Acquisition disrupts current
plans and operations of the Target Company as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Stock Acquisition; the possibility
that the Target Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, regulatory, and/or competitive factors; the evolution of
the markets in which the Target Company competes, including technological changes and other trends affecting the entertainment industry
and increases in the cost for content and other rights; risks related to streaming initiatives; the ability of the Target Company to implement
its existing strategic initiatives and continue to innovate; risks related to acquisition and integration of acquired businesses; the
ability of the Target Company to defend its intellectual property; the risk that the Target Company may not be able to execute its growth
strategy and the timing of expected business milestones; and the risk of declines or disruptions in the Indian economy. The foregoing
list of risks is not exhaustive.
If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions
prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional
risks that IMAQ and the Target Company do not presently know, or that IMAQ and the Target Company currently believe are immaterial that
could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements
reflect IMAQ’s and the Target Company’s current expectations, plans and forecasts of future events and views as of the date
hereof. Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibits hereto should be regarded as a representation by any person that the
forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements
will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibits
hereto, which speak only as of the date they are made and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the cautionary statements herein
and the risk factors of IMAQ and the Target Company described above. IMAQ and the Target Company anticipate that subsequent events and
developments will cause their assessments to change. However, while IMAQ and the Target Company may elect to update these forward-looking
statements at some point in the future, they each specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, except as required by law.
Participants in the Solicitation
IMAQ and the Target Company and their respective
directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from IMAQ’s stockholders in connection
with the proposed Stock Acquisition. A list of the names of the directors and executive officers of IMAQ and information regarding their
interests in the Stock Acquisition will be contained in the proxy statement when available. You may obtain free copies of these documents
as described in the second paragraph under the above section entitled “Important Information for Investors and Stockholders.”
