SCHEDULE TO

This Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (this “Schedule TO”) is filed by Zoomcar Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “Zoomcar,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This Schedule TO relates to the offer by the Company to eligible holders of the Warrants (as defined below) to exchange such Warrants for shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Company’s offer to exchange, dated as of the date hereof, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time (the “Offer to Exchange”), and the related letter of transmittal, accredited investor verification, notice of withdrawal and other offer materials (together with the Offer to Exchange, as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer Materials”), each of which is filed as an exhibit to this Schedule TO.

For purposes of this Schedule TO, “Warrants” means the Company’s common stock purchase warrants issued and outstanding as of February 26, 2026 (the “Record Date”) pursuant to that certain securities purchase agreement, dated February 25, 2026, by and between the Company and the purchasers party thereto (the “Purchase Agreement”), in the private placement (the “Private Placement”) conducted in reliance on Rule 506(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). Only holders of record of Warrants as of the Record Date that are verified accredited investors are eligible to participate in the Offer to Exchange.

Under the Offer to Exchange, subject to the terms and conditions described in the Offer Materials, the Company is offering to holders that are verified accredited investors for each one (1) Warrant tendered and accepted for exchange, 20,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Exchange Ratio”).

Participants whose Warrants are tendered and accepted for exchange will be required, as a condition to receiving shares of Common Stock in the Offer to Exchange, to execute and deliver a lock-up agreement in favor of the Company (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) pursuant to which 50% of the shares of Common Stock issued to such participant will be subject to transfer restrictions until the date that is twelve (12) months after the Expiration Date (as it may be extended) and the remaining 50% will be subject to transfer restrictions until the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Expiration Date (as it may be extended), in each case subject to customary exceptions set forth in the Lock-Up Agreement. In addition, the shares issued in the Offer to Exchange will be issued as “restricted securities” in reliance on an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, will bear an appropriate restrictive legend, and the Company will provide stop-transfer instructions to its transfer agent to enforce such restrictions.

The Company intends to issue the shares of Common Stock offered in the Offer to Exchange in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(c) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and the Company is not filing a registration statement on Form S-4 or otherwise registering the issuance of such shares in connection with the Offer to Exchange.

Participation in the Offer to Exchange is limited to holders of record of Warrants that are verified accredited investors, and each participating holder will be required to complete and deliver such investor representations and verification documentation as the Company may reasonably require to establish the availability of the exemption. The Offer to Exchange is conditioned upon, among other things, the adoption by the Company’s stockholders of an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock (the “Authorized Share Increase”) and the filing and effectiveness of such amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Company expects to seek such stockholder approval in connection with the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders and related proxy solicitation.

This Schedule TO is intended to satisfy the reporting requirements of Rule 13e-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
