ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
PROXY STATEMENT
This proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) is being sent to the holders of shares of voting stock of Society Pass Incorporated, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our Board of Directors (the “Board”) for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company which will be held at 9:00 am Eastern U.S. Daylight Time on October 3, 2024 (the “Annual Meeting”).
ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS
We are furnishing proxy materials to our stockholders primarily via the Internet, instead of mailing printed copies of those materials to each stockholder. By doing so, we save costs and reduce the environmental impact of our Annual Meeting. This proxy is being solicited by the Board of Directors, and the cost of solicitation of the proxies will be paid by the Company. Our officers, directors and regular employees, without additional compensation, also may solicit proxies by further mailing, by telephone or personal conversations. We have no plans to retain any firms or otherwise incur any extraordinary expense in connection with the solicitation.
The proxy materials include our proxy statement for the Annual Meeting and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
We are sending a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) to all stockholders of record on August 6, 2024. All stockholders of record will have the ability to access the proxy materials on a website referred to in the Notice (www.proxyvote.com), or request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the Internet or to request a printed copy may be found in the Notice. In addition, stockholders may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis.
The Notice will provide you with instructions regarding how to:
View our proxy materials for the Annual Meeting on the Internet; and
Instruct us to send our future proxy materials to you electronically by email.
Choosing to receive your future proxy materials by email will save us the cost of printing and mailing documents to you and will reduce the impact of our annual stockholders’ meetings on the environment. If you choose to receive future proxy materials by email, you will receive an email next year with instructions containing a link to those materials and a link to the proxy voting site. Your election to receive proxy materials by email will remain in effect until you terminate it.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS REGARDING THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?
The Board has fixed the close of business on August 6, 2024 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for a determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were (i) 2,970,696 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) of the Company and (ii) 3,500 shares of Series X Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”) of the Company, outstanding. Each share of the Company’s Common Stock represents one vote that may be voted on each matter that may come before the Annual Meeting. The Series X Super Voting Preferred Stock entitles its holder to 10,000 votes per share. As of the Record Date, the outstanding Preferred Stock equals 35,000,000 votes. As of the Record Date, there are a total of 37,970,696 votes that may be voted on each matter that may come before the Annual Meeting.
What matters will be voted on at the Annual Meeting?
The two proposals that are scheduled to be considered and voted on at the Annual Meeting are as follows:
1.
To elect six directors to our Board of Directors to serve until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until their successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified (the “Election of Directors Proposal”);
2.
To ratify the appointment of Onestop Assurance PAC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 (the “Auditor Ratification Proposal”);
Why are we seeking stockholder approval for these proposals?
Proposal No. 1: The Nevada Revised Statutes, as amended, require corporations to hold elections for directors each year.
Proposal No. 2: The Company appointed Onestop Assurance PAC to serve as the Company’s independent auditors for the 2024 fiscal year. The Company elects to have its stockholders ratify such appointment.
What are the Board’s voting recommendations?
The Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the Election of Directors Proposal and “FOR” the Auditor Ratification Proposal.
What is the difference between holding shares as a record holder and as a beneficial owner?
If your shares are registered in your name with the Company’s transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC, you are the “record holder” of those shares. If you are a record holder, these proxy materials have been provided directly to you by the Company.
If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account, a bank or other holder of record, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of those shares held in “street name.” If your shares are held in street name, these proxy materials have been forwarded to you by that organization. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to instruct this organization on how to vote your shares.
Who may attend the Annual Meeting?
Record holders and beneficial owners may attend the Annual Meeting. If your shares are held in street name, you will need a “legal proxy” from your brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization when you register for the Annual Meeting showing your stock ownership as of the Record Date. Please see below for instructions on how to vote at the Annual Meeting if your shares are held in street name.
How do I vote?
If you are a stockholder of record, you may:
1.
Vote by Internet. The website address for Internet voting is on your proxy card.
2.
Vote by phone. The phone number for phone voting is on your proxy card.
2

TABLE OF CONTENTS

3.
Vote by mail. Mark, date, sign and mail promptly the enclosed proxy card.
4.
Vote at the Annual Meeting. Register, attend virtually and vote at the Annual Meeting.
If you vote by phone internet, please DO NOT mail your proxy card.
If you are a beneficial owner, you must follow the voting procedures of your nominee included with your proxy materials. If your shares are held by a nominee and you intend to vote at the Annual Meeting, please have a legal proxy from your nominee authorizing you to vote your shares when you register for the Annual Meeting.
What constitutes a quorum?
To carry on the business of the Annual Meeting, we must have a quorum. A quorum is present when a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding voting capital stock of the Company, as of the Record Date, is represented in person or by proxy. Shares owned by the Company are not considered outstanding or considered to be present at the Annual Meeting. Broker non-votes and abstentions are counted as present for the purpose of determining the existence of a quorum. As of the Record Date, there are a total of 37,970,696 votes that may be voted on each matter that may come before the Annual Meeting. The quorum is therefore 18,985,349 votes.
What happens if the Company is unable to obtain a quorum?
If a quorum is not present to transact business at the Annual Meeting or if we do not receive sufficient votes in favor of the proposals by the date of the Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Annual Meeting to permit continued solicitation of proxies.
What is a “broker non-vote”?
Broker non-votes occur with respect to shares held in “street name,” in cases where the record owner (for instance, the brokerage firm or bank) does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner and the record owner does not have the authority to vote those shares on a proposal.
Various national and regional securities exchanges applicable to brokers, banks, and other holders of record determine whether the record owner (for instance, the brokerage firm, or bank) is able to vote on a proposal if the record owner does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner. The record owner may vote on proposals that are determined to be routine under these rules and may not vote on proposals that are determined to be non-routine under these rules. If a proposal is determined to be routine, your broker, bank, or other holder of record is permitted to vote on the proposal without receiving voting instructions from you. The proposal to ratify the Auditor Appointment (Proposal 2) is a routine matter and the record owner may vote your shares on these proposals if it does not get instructions from you.
The proposal for the Director Appointments (Proposal 1) are non-routine and the record owner may not vote your shares on any of these proposals if it does not get instructions from you. If you do not provide voting instructions on these matters, a broker non-vote will occur. Broker non-votes, as well as abstentions, will each be counted towards the presence of a quorum but will not be counted towards the number of votes cast for any proposal.
How many votes are needed for each proposal to pass?
Proposals
Vote Required
(1)
The Election of Directors Proposal
Affirmative vote of a plurality of the shares of the voting power present. The six persons receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected as directors.
(2)
The Auditor Ratification Proposal
Majority of the voting power present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter
What constitutes outstanding shares entitled to vote?
At the close of business on the Record Date, there were 37,970,676 outstanding and entitled to vote, including: (i) 2,970,696 shares of Common Stock and (ii) 35,000,000 votes as a result of the shares of Preferred Stock outstanding as of the Record Date.

What is an Abstention?
An abstention is a stockholder’s affirmative choice to decline to vote on a proposal. Under Nevada law, abstentions are counted as shares present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Generally, unless provided otherwise by applicable law, our Bylaws provide that an action of our stockholders (other than the election of directors) is approved if a majority of the number of shares of stock entitled to vote thereon and present (either in person or by proxy) vote in favor of such action. Therefore, votes marked as “ABSTAIN” will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the outcome in Proposal 2. Votes marked as “ABSTAIN” on Proposal 1 will have no effect because directors are elected by plurality voting.
What are the voting procedures?
You may vote in favor of each proposal or against each proposal, or in favor of some proposals and against others, or you may abstain from voting on any of these proposals. You should specify your respective choices on the accompanying proxy card or your voting instruction form.
Is my proxy revocable?
You may revoke your proxy and reclaim your right to vote up to and including the day of the Annual Meeting by giving written notice to the Corporate Secretary of the Company, by delivering a proxy card dated after the date of the proxy or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting. All written notices of revocation and other communications with respect to revocations of proxies should be addressed to: Society Pass Incorporated, 701 S. Carson Street, Suite 200, Carson City, Nevada 89701, Attention: Corporate Secretary.
Who is paying for the expenses involved in preparing and mailing this proxy statement?
All of the expenses involved in preparing, assembling and mailing these proxy materials and all costs of soliciting proxies will be paid by the Company. In addition to the solicitation by mail, proxies may be solicited by the Company’s officers and regular employees by telephone or in person. Such persons will receive no compensation for their services other than their regular salaries. Arrangements will also be made with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the shares held of record by such persons, and we may reimburse such persons for reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by them in so doing. We may hire an independent proxy solicitation firm.
Could other matters be decided at the Annual Meeting?
Other than the Election of Directors Proposal and the Auditor Ratification Proposal, no other matters will be presented for action by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting.
Do I have dissenters’ (appraisal) rights?
Appraisal rights are not available to the Company’s stockholders with any of the proposals brought before the Annual Meeting.
Interest of Officers and Directors in Matters to Be Acted Upon
None of the officers or directors have any interest in any of the matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting.

Consideration of Director Nominees
We seek directors with the highest standards of ethics and integrity, sound business judgment, and the willingness to make a strong commitment to the Company and its success. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee works with the Board on an annual basis to determine the appropriate and desirable mix of characteristics, skills, expertise, and experience for the full Board and each committee, taking into account both existing directors and all nominees for election as directors, as well as any diversity considerations and the membership criteria applied by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board, which do not have a formal diversity policy, consider diversity in a broad sense when evaluating board composition and nominations; and they seek to include directors with a diversity of experience, professions, viewpoints, skills, and backgrounds that will enable them to make significant contributions to the Board and the Company, both as individuals and as part of a group of directors. The Board evaluates each individual in the context of the full Board, with the objective of recommending a group that can best contribute to the success of the business and represent stockholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment. In determining whether to recommend a director for re-election, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers the director’s attendance at meetings and participation in and contributions to the activities of the Board and its committees.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders, and its process for considering such recommendations is no different than its process for screening and evaluating candidates suggested by directors, management of the Company, or third parties.
When considering director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate multiple factors in assessing their qualification. A candidate must have extensive and relevant leadership experience including an understanding of the complex challenges of enterprise leadership. An appropriate candidate will have gained appropriate experience and education in some or all of the key areas below.
Relevant Sector Experience. Director candidates will have gained their leadership experience in sectors directly relevant to the Company’s business and/or served as the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer or other major operating or staff officer of a public corporation, with a background in marketing, finance and/or business operations.
Corporate Governance Experience. Director candidates should have sufficient applicable experience to understand fully the legal and other responsibilities of an independent director of a U.S.-based public company.
Education. Generally, it is desirable that a Board candidate should hold an undergraduate degree from a respected college or university and in relevant fields of study.
When further considering director candidates, personal attributes and characteristics will be considered. Specifically, these should include the following:
Personal. Director candidates should be of the highest moral and ethical character. Candidates must exhibit independence, objectivity and be capable of serving as representatives of the stockholders. The candidates should have demonstrated a personal commitment to areas aligned with the Company’s public interest commitments, such as education, the environment and welfare of the communities in which we operate.
10

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Individual Characteristics. Director candidates should have the personal qualities to be able to make a substantial active contribution to Board deliberations. These qualities include intelligence, self-assuredness, a high ethical standard, inter-personal skills, independence, courage, a willingness to ask the difficult question, communication skills and commitment. In considering candidates for election to the Board of Directors, the Board should constantly be striving to achieve the diversity of the communities in which the Company operates.
Availability. Director candidates must be willing to commit, as well as have, sufficient time available to discharge the duties of Board membership. Generally, therefore, the candidate should not have more than three other corporate board memberships.
Compatibility. The Board candidate should be able to develop a good working relationship with other Board members and contribute to the Board’s working relationship with the senior management of the Company.

If the appointment is not ratified, the Audit Committee will investigate the reasons for stockholder rejection and will re-consider the appointment. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such change would be in the best interests of us and our stockholders.
Representatives of Onestop are not expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. However, we will provide contact information for Onestop to any stockholders who would like to contact the firm with questions.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The table below sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of the common stock by (i) our directors and named executive officers; (ii) all the named executives and directors as a group and (iii) any other person or group that to our knowledge beneficially owns more than five percent of our outstanding shares of common stock.
We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These rules generally provide that a person is the beneficial owner of securities if such person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting thereof, or to dispose or direct the disposition thereof or has the right to acquire such powers within 60 days. Shares of common stock subject to options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of August 6, 2024 are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding the options. Shares issuable pursuant to stock options or warrants are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of the person holding such options or warrants, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below will have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock that they will beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws.
The information contained in this table is as of August 6, 2024. At that date, 2,970,696 shares of our common stock were outstanding.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS TO BE PRESENTED AT THE NEXT ANNUAL MEETING
For a stockholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement for the annual meeting held in 2025, the corporate secretary must receive the written proposal at our principal executive offices no later than the deadline stated below. Such proposals must comply with SEC regulations under Rule 14a-8 regarding the inclusion of stockholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials. Proposals should be addressed to Society Pass Incorporated, 701 S. Carson Street, Suite 200, Carson City, Nevada 89701, Attention: Corporate Secretary.
Under Rule 14a-8, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 120 calendar days before the date of our proxy statement release to stockholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting. However, if we did not hold an annual meeting in the previous year or if the date of next year’s annual meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the date of the previous year’s annual meeting, then the deadline is a reasonable time before we begin to print and send our proxy materials. Therefore, stockholder proposals intended to be presented at the annual meeting held in 2025 must be received by us at our principal executive office no later than 120 days prior to the anniversary date that proxy material for this year’s meeting were sent in order to be eligible for inclusion in our 2025 proxy statement and proxy relating to that meeting, which will be May 28, 2025. Any stockholder proposal submitted outside the processes of Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for presentation at our annual meeting held in 2025 will be considered untimely for purposes of Rule 14a-4 and 14a-5 if notice thereof is not received by the Company in writing by 45 days prior to the anniversary of the date that proxy materials are sent to stockholders, which will be April 13, 2025. Upon receipt of any proposal, we will determine whether to include such proposal in accordance with regulations governing the solicitation of proxies.
You may propose director candidates for consideration by the Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Any such recommendations should include the nominee’s name and qualifications for Board membership, information regarding the candidate as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to SEC regulations, and a written indication by the recommended candidate of her or his willingness to serve, and should be directed to the Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices within the time period described above for proposals other than matters brought under SEC Rule 14a-8.
STOCKHOLDERS SHARING THE SAME LAST NAME AND ADDRESS
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. We and some brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy statement to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders.
