As previously disclosed, on November 3, 2021, AGBA Acquisition Limited, a British Virgin Islands business company (“AGBA” or the “Acquiror”), entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with 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”). On November 18, 2021, the parties entered into an amendment to the Business Combination Agreement (the “First Amendment”).

 

On January 4, 2022, the parties, together with AGBA’s newly established wholly-owned subsidiaries, AGBA Merger Sub I Limited and AGBA Merger Sub II Limited, entered into a second amendment of the Business Combination Agreement (the “Second Amendment”). Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the parties have agreed that, among other things, the Outside Closing Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) of the proposed transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement shall be extended to April 30, 2022 from January 31, 2022, and that each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to finalize all Additional Agreements (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and other ancillary documents contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement no later than March 31, 2022.

 

A copy of the Second 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.
