Termination of Forward Purchase Contract with Zhu Hai Quan Shi Investment Management Ltd.
15 April 2020 - 6:31AM
Meten EdtechX Education Group Ltd. (“Meten EdtechX” or the
“Company”), a leading English language training service provider in
China, announces that it has terminated a forward purchase contract
with Zhu Hai Quan Shi Investment Management Ltd (as amended, the
“Forward Purchase Contract”).
In March 2020, Zhu Hai Quan Shi Investment
Management Ltd. (“Zhu Hai Quan Shi”) agreed to purchase 400,000
ordinary shares of Meten EdtechX Education Group Ltd. for a
purchase price of $10.00 per share in a private placement (the “$4
million PIPE”).
According to the terms and conditions of the
Forward Purchase Contract, Zhu Hai Quan Shi was required to pay the
purchase price of $4,000,000 by an early April 2020 deadline that
was agreed among the parties. As a result of the failure by Zhu Hai
Quan Shi to pay the purchase price by the agreed deadline, the
Company has decided to terminate the Forward Purchase Contract.
As a result of the failure to consummate the $4
million PIPE, the Company will issue an aggregate of 192,308
ordinary shares to the three founder shareholders of the Company in
lieu of the $2,000,000 cash consideration that such shareholders
have elected to receive in connection with the business combination
involving the Company, subject to the consummation of the $4
million PIPE, as previously announced in the shell company report
on Form 20FR12B filed on March 31, 2020.
All the other private placements pursuant to
forward purchase contracts entered by the Company have been
completed and collected in full.
