Indicate by check mark whether the registrant is an emerging growth company as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933 (§230.405 of this chapter) or Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (§240.12b-2 of this chapter).

Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On June 6, 2023, EdtechX Holdings Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(4) (the “Listing Rule”) because the Company does not have a minimum of 500,000 publicly held shares.

The Notice states that no later than July 21, 2023, the Company is required to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Listing Rule. If NASDAQ accepts the Company’s plan, it has the discretion to grant the Company an extension of time to regain compliance with the Listing Rule.

The Company intends to file the required plan to regain compliance with the Listing Rule prior to July 21, 2023. This notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s shares on NASDAQ. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Listing Rule or otherwise satisfy any other NASDAQ listing criteria.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

Statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K that are not historical facts may be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or the Company's future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as "may," "will," "should," "expects," "plans," "anticipates," "could," "intends," "target," "projects," "contemplates," "believes," "estimates," "predicts," "potential" or "continue" or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern the Company's expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. Such forward-looking statements may relate to, among other things, the Company's continued efforts and ability to regain and maintain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Such forward-looking statements do not constitute guarantees of future performance and are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or developments or otherwise.
