(b) The principal business address of the Reporting Persons is as follows:

enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
(f) VNV Cyprus is organized under the laws of Cyprus and VNV Global is organized under the laws of Sweden.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds
Item 4 below summarizes certain provisions of the Business Combination Agreement (as defined below) and other ancillary documents that pertain to the securities acquired by VNV Cyprus. Following the consummation of the
Business Combination (as defined below), VNV Cyprus’ existing securities in Swvl Inc., a British Virgin Islands business company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“Legacy Swvl”) automatically converted into
the right to receive an aggregate of 14,462,414 Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company.
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction
Business Combination
On March 31, 2022, the Company consummated its previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of July 28, 2021 (as amended,
modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among the Company, Legacy Swvl, Queen’s Gambit Growth Capital, a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (“SPAC”), and the other parties thereto.
As a result of the Business Combination, VNV Cyprus’ existing securities in Legacy Swvl automatically converted into the right to receive Class A Ordinary Shares of the Company.
PIPE Financing
In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, SPAC and the Company entered into subscription agreements with a number of investors (the “PIPE Investors”),
pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to purchase, and the Company agreed to sell to the PIPE Investors in a private placement, Class A Ordinary Shares for a purchase price of $10.00 per share.
On March 22, 2022 and March 23, 2022, Memphis Equity Ltd., VNV Cyprus and DiGame Africa, three initial PIPE Investors, purchased an aggregate of $5.3 million of exchangeable notes of Legacy Swvl (the
“Swvl Exchangeable Notes”) effectively pre-funding their subscription commitment. At the Company Merger Effective Time (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), such exchangeable notes were exchanged for Class A Ordinary Shares at an
exchange price of $9.50 per share. Upon the issuance of such exchangeable notes, each such initial PIPE Investor’s subscription was reduced by the amount of the issued exchangeable notes, resulting in the reduction of such initial PIPE Investors’
subscriptions to $0 and the termination of such subscriptions.
Shareholder Agreement
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, certain parties, including VNV Cyprus, entered into a Shareholder Agreement dated July 28, 2021 (the “Shareholder
Agreement”), pursuant to which such persons agreed to act to establish certain board appointment and corporate governance rights, and to enter into voting commitments, with respect to the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions thereof.
Support Agreement
Certain shareholders of Legacy Swvl, including VNV Cyprus, delivered to SPAC transaction support agreements (the “Swvl Transaction Support Agreements”), pursuant to which, among other things, (x) the
holders of Legacy Swvl shares agreed to execute and deliver written consents and (y) the holders of the certain convertible notes (the “Swvl Convertible Notes”) of Legacy Swvl (other than the Swvl Exchangeable Notes) agreed to the conversion of such
Swvl Convertible Notes in accordance with the terms and conditions of the support agreements and the Business Combination Agreement.
Registration Rights Agreement
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, Legacy Swvl, SPAC, the Company, and the other parties thereto, including VNV Cyprus (the “Reg Rights Holders”), entered
into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with respect to certain securities of the Company held by the Reg Rights Holders.
Lock-Up Agreement
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, security holders of Legacy Swvl and certain former directors and/or officers of Legacy Swvl (collectively,
the “Lock-Up Holders”) entered into lock-up agreements with respect to the Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares.
The foregoing descriptions of the Business Combination Agreement, Swvl Exchangeable Note, Shareholder Agreement, Swvl Transaction Support Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement and Lock-Up Agreement do
not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, which are attached as exhibits to this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.
