Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 12, 2019, EdtechX Holdings Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“EdtechX”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (“Merger Agreement”) by and among EdtechX, Meten EdtechX Education Group Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Holdco”), Meten Education Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco (“EdtechX Merger Sub”), Meten Education Group Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco (“Meten Merger Sub”, and together with EdtechX Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”), and Meten International Education Group, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company” or “Meten”).

Meten, headquartered in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China, the heart of the Chinese Silicon Valley, is a market leader in English language training (“ELT”) in China, with a number one ranked position in the general adult ELT segment, according to Frost & Sullivan. Meten focuses on providing industry leading English and future skills training for a growing market of Chinese students and young professionals. Meten operates an omnichannel (retail and digital) business comprising a nationwide network of 149 learning centers (covering 36 cities in 18 provinces) under the brands Meten (adult and junior ELT services) and ABC (primarily junior ELT services), as well as the popular English digital tutoring platform for students and young professionals, Likeshuo. Meten’s business plans include pursuing market consolidation in China and rolling out Meten’s existing omnichannel distribution platform, combining digital delivery and strategic retail presence, across a total addressable market of more than 600 cities in China.

The following summaries of the Merger Agreement and the other agreements to be entered into by the parties are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the Merger Agreement and agreements entered into in connection therewith. The Merger Agreement is attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

General Structure of the Mergers; Consideration

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) Meten Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving entity of such merger (the “Meten Merger”) and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco (“Surviving Cayman Islands Company”) and (ii) EdtechX Merger Sub will merge with and into EdtechX, with EdtechX being the surviving entity of the merger (the “EdtechX Merger” and together with the Meten Merger, the “Mergers”) and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco (“Surviving Delaware Corporation”).

Upon consummation of the Meten Merger, the shareholders of Meten will receive their pro rata portion of an aggregate of 48,391,607 ordinary shares of Holdco (“Meten Merger Shares”). EdtechX will be required to pay cash to electing Meten shareholders, in an amount equal to 50% of the excess of the remaining cash at closing over $30 million (after taking into account redemptions elected by EdtechX’s public stockholders and together with the proceeds arising from private placements) up to an aggregate of $10 million. Cash consideration paid will reduce the Meten Merger Shares issuable to the Meten shareholders.

The shareholders of Meten who continue to hold ordinary shares of Holdco through certain earnout measurement dates will also have the right to receive their pro rata portion of up to 11,000,000 ordinary shares of Holdco (“Contingent Shares”) as follows: (i) 4,000,000 Contingent Shares if the reported closing sale price of Holdco’s ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations or other similar actions) for any 20 consecutive trading days at any time before December 31, 2022, and (ii) 7,000,000 Contingent Shares if the reported closing sale price of Holdco’s ordinary shares equals or exceeds $15.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations or other similar actions) for any 20 consecutive trading days during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.

Holdco will establish a new incentive equity plan (the “Holdco ESOP Plan”), and each outstanding option of Meten will be automatically converted into an option to purchase ordinary shares of Holdco, with the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the option and the option exercise price to be determined in accordance with a formula set forth in the Merger Agreement. A further number of Holdco ordinary shares equal to one percent (1%) per annum of the total outstanding Holdco ordinary shares upon the closing of the Mergers will be reserved under the new incentive equity plan.

Upon consummation of the EdtechX Merger, (i) each share of EdtechX common stock outstanding on the closing date will be exchanged for the right to receive one ordinary share of Holdco, except that holders of shares of EdtechX common stock sold in EdtechX’s initial public offering will be entitled to elect instead to receive a pro rata portion of EdtechX’s trust account, as provided in EdtechX’s charter documents, (ii) each outstanding warrant of EdtechX will entitle the holder to purchase one ordinary share of Holdco at a price of $11.50 per share, and (iii) each outstanding unit purchase option will remain outstanding but will be deemed to have been converted to represent the right to purchase ordinary shares and warrants of Holdco.

As a result of the Mergers, Holdco will become the new public entity and the shareholders of Meten and the stockholders of EdtechX will become shareholders of Holdco. The Mergers will be consummated following receipt of the required shareholders approvals and the fulfillment of other conditions.

Indemnification

The Agreement provides for mutual indemnification by EdtechX and Meten for breaches of their respective representations, warranties, and covenants. Claims for indemnification must be brought before the date that is one year after the consummation of the Mergers. Claims for indemnification may be asserted once damages exceed a $5 million threshold, and will be reimbursable to the extend such damages exceed the threshold. Claims for damages below a de minimus threshold of $200,000 will not count toward satisfying the $5 million deductible. The indemnification obligation of each party will be capped at 3.5% of the aggregate Meten Merger Shares issuable in the transactions. The Merger Agreement does not provide for an escrow of Meten Merger Shares which may be payable to EdtechX for indemnification, but requires that Meten shareholders either forfeit and return to Holdco for cancellation the number of Meten Merger Shares equal to their pro rata portion of the indemnifiable damages or, if the shareholder has sold the Meten Merger Shares, to pay cash in value of the related shares in an amount equal to their pro rata portion of the indemnifiable damages. Holdco will be required to reserve for issuance additional Holdco ordinary shares sufficient to cover indemnification of the Meten shareholders. The foregoing indemnification will provide the sole means of recovering damages arising from breaches of representations, warranties, or covenants.

Forward Purchase Contract

As described in the final prospectus for EdtechX’s initial public offering, Azimut Enterprises Holdings S.r.l. (the “Azimut Investor”) entered into a contingent forward purchase agreement (the “Forward Purchase Contract”) with EdtechX to purchase, in a private placement to occur concurrently with the consummation of the Mergers, up to 2,000,000 of units at $10.00 per unit (or up to an aggregate purchase price of $20,000,000), on substantially the same terms as the sale of units in EdtechX’s initial public offering. In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Azimut Investor irrevocably consented to purchase up to 2,000,000 units at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The exact number of units to be purchased by the Azimut Investor will be determined by EdtechX and Holdco based on the capital needs in connection with the Mergers.

Support Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain shareholders of Meten and certain stockholders of EdtechX have entered into a support agreement with Holdco and EdtechX (“Support Agreement”), pursuant to which each such person has agreed, among other things, to vote all of the Meten ordinary shares or EdtechX common stock, as applicable, beneficially owned by such person in favor of the Mergers, and to not take any action to solicit, knowingly encourage, initiate, engage in or otherwise knowingly facilitate discussions or negotiations with, provide any information to, or enter into any agreement with any person (other than the parties to the Merger Agreement) concerning any merger, sale of a significant portion of assets or similar transaction involving Meten or EdtechX until such time as the Mergers close or the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

Voting Agreement

At closing of the Mergers, EdtechX, Holdco, Meten and certain shareholders of Meten and stockholders of EdtechX will enter into a voting agreement (“Voting Agreement”) pursuant to which they will agree to nominate nine members to the board of directors of Holdco, including Benjamin Vedrenne-Cloquet and Charles McIntyre, EdtechX’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, respectively, and Jishuang Zhao, Siguang Peng and Yupeng Guo, the founders of Meten, and Yongchao Chen, and to take all actions necessary to nominate, appoint and vote all Holdco ordinary shares beneficially owned by them for the election of such persons until the third anniversary of the closing. For each of the three years of serving on the board of the Holdco, Messrs. Vedrenne-Cloquet and McIntyre will each be paid for their board service as follows: (i) $120,000 in cash, and (ii) 20,000 fully vested restricted shares of the Holdco to be issued pursuant to the Holdco ESOP Plan.

Lock-Up

Certain of the Meten shareholders will enter into lock-up agreements with Holdco (“Lock-up Agreements”) pursuant to which they will agree not to transfer the ordinary shares of Holdco received as consideration in the Meten Merger (including any Contingent Shares, if and when issued), until (i) with respect to 50% of such Holdco ordinary shares, the earlier of the date that is six months after the closing and the date on which the closing price of Holdco’s ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period after closing and (ii) with respect to the remaining 50% of such Holdco ordinary shares, one year after closing, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to the closing, Holdco consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all holders of Holdco ordinary shares ceasing to hold more than fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding Holdco ordinary shares or having the right to exchange their Holdco ordinary shares for cash or freely tradable securities.

All other Meten shareholders will agree not to transfer the ordinary shares of Holdco received by them as consideration in the Meten Merger (including any Contingent Shares, if and when issued) until the date that is at least three months after the closing.

Certain shareholders of EdtechX, including affiliates of Benjamin Vedrenne-Cloquet and Charles McIntyre, will enter into an amended stock escrow agreement (“Amended Stock Escrow Agreement”) pursuant to which the ordinary shares and warrants of Holdco to be issued to them will remain subject to the escrow and transfer restrictions as set forth in the existing stock escrow agreement entered into by such persons in connection with EdtechX’s initial public offering, which restrictions are substantially the same as those provided for in the Lock-up Agreements.

Registration Rights

At the closing of the Mergers, Holdco will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement providing the shareholders of Meten with certain demand registration rights and piggy-back registration rights with respect to registration statements filed by Holdco after the closing. Additionally, EdtechX and Holdco will amend any existing registration rights agreements to which it is a party or similar agreements or instruments to which it is a party providing for registration rights with respect to EdtechX’s securities held by any person such that, after giving effect to the Mergers, the Holdco securities held by former EdtechX securityholders will bear the same registration rights as currently held.

Representations and Warranties

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of EdtechX, Meten, Holdco and the Merger Subs relating to, among other things, proper organization and similar corporate matters; capital structure of each constituent company; the authorization, performance and enforceability of the Merger Agreement; licenses and permit; taxes; financial information and absence of undisclosed liabilities; holding of leases and ownership of real property, personal property, and intellectual property; contracts; title to, and condition of, assets; absence of certain changes; employee matters; compliance with laws; and absence of litigation.
