FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
iClick
Interactive Asia Group Limited Announces Plan for Closing on Merger with Amber DWM and Confirms Nasdaq Listing Under New
Ticker “AMBR”
HONG
KONG — March 12, 2025 — iClick Interactive Asia Group Limited (“iClick” or the “Company”)
(NASDAQ: ICLK) today announced progress toward closing its merger with Amber DWM Holding Limited (“Amber DWM”), alongside
final Nasdaq approval for the post-merger listing. Upon completion of the merger, the Company will be renamed “Amber International
Holding Limited” and commence trading under the new ticker symbol “AMBR” on the Nasdaq Global Market, effective March 13,
2025.
iClick has entered
into an Amendment, Waiver and Framework Agreement (the “Framework Agreement”) to amend and waive certain terms and conditions
of the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) entered into by the Company, Overlord Merger Sub Ltd. (the “Merger
Sub”) and Amber DWM Holding Limited (“Amber DWM”) on November 29, 2024. This step streamlines the path toward the
anticipated completion of the merger.
As previously
announced, Merger Sub will merge with and into Amber DWM, with Amber DWM continuing as the surviving entity and becoming a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Amber DWM will, prior to the consummation of
the Merger, execute certain restructuring involving (i) the acquisition of 100% of the equity interest in WhaleFin Markets Limited
from Amber Global Limited (“AB”), and (ii) cause certain subsidiary of Amber DWM to assume all rights and obligations
under certain contracts of WhaleFin Technologies Limited (“WFTL” and such contracts, the “WFTL Assigned Contracts”)
(together the “DWM Asset Restructuring”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, certain local regulatory approvals shall have
been obtained before the completion of the Merger. These approvals include local regulatory approvals for the DWM Asset Restructuring
and for iClick to become a controller in Sparrow Tech Private Limited, an indirect subsidiary of Amber DWM.
To expedite the
closing of the Merger, the parties have entered to the Framework Agreement to amend and waive certain closing conditions to the Merger,
including in relation to the DWM Asset Restructuring and these regulatory approvals, and to provide for alternative arrangements that
would afford iClick with substantially the same economic benefits as the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement. Specifically,
(i) pursuant to the Framework Agreement, the parties have agreed to complete the DWM Asset Restructuring and cause Sparrow Tech Private
Limited to become an indirect subsidiary of iClick promptly upon the receipt of the relevant regulatory approvals, which may be after
the closing of the Merger, and (ii) pursuant to certain intercompany services agreement entered into concurrently with the execution
of the Framework Agreement, while the regulatory approvals are pending, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amber DWM (and, thus, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of iClick following the consummation of the Merger) will receive 100% of the consolidated basis net income generated by the
WFTL Assigned Contracts and 100% consolidated net income of Sparrow Tech Private Limited.
For more details
of the Framework Agreement and intercompany services agreements, please refer to Exhibit 99.2 to 99.4 of the current report on Form 6-K
dated March 12, 2025, respectively.
The Company further announced that it received
Nasdaq approval for the listing on the Nasdaq Global Market on March 11, 2025. With the execution of the Framework Agreement and
Nasdaq listing approval, all conditions precedent to the closing of the Merger have been satisfied (or are expected to be satisfied as
of the closing). The Company expects the Merger to take effect on or around March 12, 2025, and its American Depositary Shares,
each representing five Class A ordinary shares (the “ADSs”) to begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Market on or about
March 13, 2025 under the new name “Amber International Holding Limited” and the new ticker symbol of “AMBR.”
Before that, the ADSs will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market under the current ticker symbol “ICLK.”

any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the applicable transaction agreements; (iv) the
risk that there may be a material adverse change with respect to the financial position, performance, operations or prospects of the Company,

operating results and businesses generally; (viii) any changes in the business or operating prospects of Amber DWM and the combined
entity or their businesses; (ix) changes in applicable laws and regulations; and (x) risks relating to Amber DWM’s and

WAIVER AND FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT
This Amendment,
Waiver and Framework Agreement (as may be amended, supplemented, modified and varied from time to time in accordance with the terms herein,
this “Agreement”) is made as of March 12, 2025 by and among iClick Interactive Asia Group Limited, a Cayman Islands

Overlord Merger Sub Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of ICLK (“Merger
Sub”), Amber Global Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“AB”), and WhaleFin Technologies Limited,
a company incorporated in Seychelles (“WFTL”).
WHEREAS, ICLK,
Merger Sub, and DWM entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as the same may be amended, supplemented, modified and varied from
time to time in accordance with the terms therein, the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of November 29, 2024, pursuant
to which Merger Sub will merge with and into DWM, with DWM surviving as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of ICLK (the “Merger”);
WHEREAS,
the Merger Agreement contemplates that DWM will, in accordance with the DWM Asset Restructuring Plan (as defined in the Merger Agreement),
(a) acquire 100% of the equity interests in WhaleFin Markets Limited (“WhaleFin HK”), a company incorporated
in Hong Kong, from AB (the “WhaleFin HK Equity Transfer”), and (b) assume or cause one or more of its Subsidiaries
to assume all rights and obligations under the WFTL Assigned Contracts (the “WFTL Contract Assignment”, and the transactions
contemplated in clauses (a) and (b), together, the “DWM Asset Restructuring”), in each case prior to the consummation
of the Merger;
WHEREAS,
in connection with the DWM Asset Restructuring, the DWM Asset Restructuring Plan contemplates that the consummation of the WhaleFin HK
Equity Transfer shall be conditioned upon obtaining the HK Approvals and that the consummation of the WFTL Contract Assignment shall
be conditioned upon Amber Premium FZE obtaining the Virtual Asset Service Provider license from VARA (the “VARA Approval”
and, collectively with the HK Approvals, the “Restructuring Requisite Approvals”);
WHEREAS,
as of the date hereof, the Restructuring Requisite Approvals have not been obtained and the DWM Asset Restructuring has not been consummated;
WHEREAS,
the DWM Asset Restructuring Plan contemplates that DWM and ICLK shall, promptly after the date of the Merger Agreement, discuss in good
faith a reasonable alternative structure to consummate the DWM Asset Restructuring that will provide ICLK with substantially the same
economic benefits upon the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement, to be implemented
in the event there is a delay in completing the DWM Asset Restructuring due to the failure to obtain one or more of the Restructuring
Requisite Approvals and all of the other conditions set forth in Section 8 of the Merger Agreement have been satisfied or waived
(other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, provided that each of such conditions is capable
of being satisfied at the Closing), except for the condition set forth in Section 8.3(d) of Merger Agreement;
WHEREAS,
in accordance with the DWM Asset Restructuring Plan and following such discussion contemplated under the DWM Asset Restructuring Plan,
DWM and ICLK have agreed on an alternative structure to consummate the DWM Asset Restructuring, as further provided and set forth herein;
WHEREAS,
pursuant to Section 8.1(b) of the Merger Agreement, as a condition to Closing, the DWM Required Regulatory Approvals and ICLK
Required Regulatory Approvals shall have been made or obtained, as applicable, and remain effective as of Closing;
WHEREAS,
the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement will result in ICLK becoming, immediately upon the completion of the Merger,
a “20% controller” (as defined under the Payment Services Act 2019 of Singapore) of Sparrow Tech Private Limited, and therefore,
requires the SG MAS Approval;
WHEREAS,
as of the date hereof, the SG MAS Approval, which is part of the DWM Required Regulatory Approvals and ICLK Required Regulatory Approvals,
has not been obtained;
WHEREAS,
as of the date hereof, Sparrow Holdings Pte. Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of Singapore (“Sparrow Holdings”)
is a wholly-owned Subsidiary of DWM, and Sparrow Tech Private Limited (“Sparrow Tech”), Sparrow Digital Pte. Ltd.
(“Sparrow Digital”), Sparrow Operations Private Limited (“Sparrow Operations”) and Sparrow Fund

a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Sparrow Holdings;

given the SG MAS Approval has not been obtained, the Parties intend to carry out certain restructuring of Sparrow Holdings and its Subsidiaries
prior to the consummation of the Merger and further restructuring after obtaining the SG MAS Approval following the Closing, in each
case as further provided and set forth herein; and
NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1.
Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Merger Agreement.

(b) Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, from Closing, ICLK shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause

(c) With
respect to the HK Approvals and the SG MAS Approval, subject to applicable Legal Requirements including applicable confidentiality obligations,

the VARA Approval.
(e) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall require, or be construed to require, DWM or ICLK or any of their respective Affiliates
to accept any conditions, restrictions, undertakings or commitments imposed by a competent Governmental Entity, whether such conditions,
undertakings or commitments are financial, behavioral or otherwise in nature, in connection with any of the Restructuring Requisite Approvals

| (ii) | AB
shall keep ICLK reasonably informed of the status and progress of the Sparrow Reversion in
all material respects (including any potential material obstacles or delays). |
