Item 1.01 Entry into
Material Definitive Agreements.
As previously
disclosed, AGBA Acquisition Limited, a British Virgin Islands business company (“AGBA”
or the “Acquiror”), TAG Holdings Limited (“TAG”)
and certain of TAG’s wholly owned subsidiaries - OnePlatform Holdings Limited (“OPH”),
TAG Asia Capital Holdings Limited (“Fintech”), TAG International Limited
(“B2B”), TAG Asset Partners Limited (“B2BSub”),
and OnePlatform International Limited (“HKSub”) entered into a business
combination agreement on November 3, 2021, which was subsequently amended on November 18, 2021, January 4, 2022 and May 4, 2022, and
as may be further amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time (the “Business
Combination Agreement”). On August 29, 2022, parties to the Business Combination Agreement entered into a Waiver
Agreement, pursuant to which certain conditions to Closing (as defined below) were waived. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise
defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.
On October 21,
2022, the parties entered into a Business Combination Agreement Waiver and Amendment (the “Waiver and Amendment”),
pursuant to which, among other things:
| ● | the parties agreed that the Outside Closing Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement)
of the proposed transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement shall be extended from October 31, 2022 to December
31, 2022; |
| ● | the parties agree that the Aggregate Stock Consideration (as defined in the Business Combination
Agreement) less three percent (3%) of the Aggregate Stock Consideration (the “Holdback
Shares”) shall be delivered to TAG at the closing of the Business Combination Agreement (the “Closing”),
and the Holdback Shares shall be released to TAG at the end of the Survival Period (as defined in the Business Combination
Agreement), provided that AGBA will be entitled to retain some or all of the Holdback Shares to satisfy certain indemnification
claims during the Survival Period; |
| ● | TAG and its subsidiaries agreed that the minimum cash condition required of the Post-Combination
Company (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) at the Closing as a condition to Closing will be waived, and there will
be no requirement for a PIPE Investment (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) prior to Closing; and |
| ● | TAG agreed to an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking not to distribute the Aggregate Stock
Consideration (including the Holdback Shares when released pursuant to Business Combination Agreement) to its direct or indirect
ultimate beneficial shareholders (the “Ultimate Beneficial
Shareholders”), provided that nothing in the Waiver and Amendment shall prevent TAG, subject to compliance with
applicable law, from offering, selling, contracting to sell, pledging, encumbering or otherwise disposing of, directly or
indirectly, the Aggregate Stock Consideration (including the Holdback Shares) to any person or persons for value consideration,
including, but not limited to, by registering the resale of all or part of the Aggregate Stock Consideration (including the Holdback
Shares) on a Form S-1 for the purpose of distributing the cash proceeds from such resale to the Ultimate Beneficial Shareholders or
in such other manner and by such other procedures as TAG may deem appropriate at its sole and exclusive discretion to achieve such
purpose, in compliance with applicable law. |
A copy of the Waiver
and Amendment is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing
description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.
