Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

April 1, 2009 Amendment to Share Exchange Agreement

On April 1, 2009, IA Global, Inc. (the "Company"), Taicom Securities Co Ltd ("Taicom") and ArqueMax Ventures, LLC ("AMV"), an entity controlled by Michael Ning, the Chairman of Taicom, entered into an Amendment to Share Exchange Agreement (the "Amendment"). Pursuant to this Amendment, the Company returned the following Taicom Preferred Class B Stock ("Taicom Stock") for the indicated payments by Taicom:

$ Paid By                  Shares
  Taicom        Date      Returned
$  130,000   12/12/2008    302,100
    50,000     2/2/2009    116,192
    41,000     4/1/2009     95,278

$  221,000                 513,570

The return of these shares of Taicom Stock reduced the Company's 20% interest in Taicom to 876,180 shares or 16%, 14% and 12.6% as of December 12, 2008, February 2, 2009 and April 1, 2009, respectively.

The Company recorded a loss on sale of $996,777 during the three months ended December 31, 2008 and expects to record a loss on sale of approximately $758,000 during the three months ending March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 related to the return of the Taicom Stock.

In addition, the Company agreed to issue preferred stock ("IAO Preferred Stock") to AMV for the following additional payments: $140,000 to be paid on or about April 7, 2009, $67,000 to be paid on or about April 15, 2009 and $110,000 to be paid on or about April 30, 2009. The three payments are independent of each other and the payment or non-payment of one or more payments is not dependent on the payment or non-payment of any one or more of the other payments.

At AMV's sole discretion, AMV may either (1) convert some or all of its IAO Preferred Stock into 12,800,000 shares of the Company's common stock pro rata at $0.025 per share; or (2) exchange IAO Preferred Stock for 971,458 Taicom Stock owned by the Company pro rata. The conversion of IAO Preferred Stock into Taicom Stock is automatically triggered in the case of certain events, including delisting from NYSE AMEX, bankruptcy or insolvency.

The Amendment terminated all obligations of either party under the December 12, 2008 Amendment to Share Exchange Agreement. With respect to the matters set forth herein, this Amendment to Share Exchange Agreement dated April 1, 2009 together with the Share Exchange Agreement dated June 3, 2008 represent the entire agreements between the Company and Taicom.

The Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company agreed to register the common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Amended Warrant with NYSE AMEX and file a registration statement on Form S-3 within sixty days of approval by NYSE AMEX.

Pursuant to the Services Agreement, the Company agreed to close a stock exchange with Taicom whereby 67,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock will be issued for 877,557 shares of Taicom Stock. The IA Global shares would be valued at $.035 per share, the price during the negotiations. The Taicom Stock will be valued at the book value for Taicom. The Taicom Stock are restricted securities and may not be resold, distributed, collateralized liquidated or transferred to any person or entity.

After the closing of the transactions pursuant to the Services Agreement, the Company expects to own 25.2% of Taicom and Taicom and AMV would own 36.3% of IA Global.
