PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT — SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED JULY 29, 2019
SOCIAL CAPITAL HEDOSOPHIA HOLDINGS CORP.
A Cayman Islands Exempted Company
(Company Number 322408)
120 Hawthorne Avenue
Palo Alto, CA 94301
NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
To Be Held at              Pacific Time on September   , 2019
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF SOCIAL CAPITAL HEDOSOPHIA HOLDINGS CORP.:
You are cordially invited to attend the extraordinary general meeting (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) of Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp. (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) to be held at              Pacific Time on September   , 2019 at the offices of              , located at             . The accompanying proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”), is dated            , 2019, and is first being mailed to shareholders of the Company on or about            , 2019. The sole purpose of the Extraordinary General Meeting is to consider and vote upon the following proposals:

a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Articles”) pursuant to an amendment to the Articles in the form set forth in Annex A to the accompanying Proxy Statement (the “Extension Amendment” and such proposal the “Extension Amendment Proposal”) to extend the date by which the Company must (1) consummate a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “business combination”), (2) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such business combination, and (3) redeem all of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering that was consummated on September 18, 2017 (the “IPO”), from September 18, 2019 to December 18, 2019 (the “Extension”, and such date, the “Extended Date”);

a proposal to amend the Investment Management Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”), dated September 13, 2017, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee (“Continental”), pursuant to an amendment to the Trust Agreement in the form set forth in Annex B to the accompanying Proxy Statement, to extend the date on which Continental must liquidate the Trust Account (the “Trust Account”) established in connection with the IPO if the Company has not completed its initial business combination, from September 18, 2019 to December 18, 2019 (the “Trust Amendment” and such proposal the “Trust Amendment Proposal”); and

a proposal to approve the adjournment of the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”). The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal.
Each of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal is more fully described in the accompanying Proxy Statement.
The purpose of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment is to allow us more time to complete our previously announced proposed business combination with VG (as defined in the accompanying Proxy Statement) (the “VG Business Combination”) in case such additional time is needed. The Articles provide that we have until September 18, 2019 to complete our initial business combination. While we have entered into the Merger Agreement (as defined in the accompanying Proxy Statement) with respect to the VG Business Combination, our board of directors (our “board”) currently believes that there may not be sufficient time before September 18, 2019 to hold an extraordinary general meeting at which to conduct a vote for the shareholder approvals required in connection with the VG Business Combination
i

and consummate the closing of the VG Business Combination. Accordingly, our board believes that in order for our shareholders to evaluate the VG Business Combination and for us to be able to potentially consummate the VG Business Combination, we may need to obtain the Extension. However, if we are able to consummate the VG Business Combination before the Extraordinary General Meeting, we will not hold the Extraordinary General Meeting.
In connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, shareholders may elect to redeem their Class A ordinary shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned, divided by the number of then outstanding Class A ordinary shares included as part of the units sold in the IPO (including any shares of common stock issued in exchange thereof, the “public shares”), and which election we refer to as the “Election”. An Election can be made regardless of whether such public shareholders vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal and an Election can also be made by public shareholders who do not vote, or do not instruct their broker or bank how to vote, at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Holders of public shares (the “public shareholders”) may make an Election regardless of whether such public shareholders were holders as of the record date. Public shareholders who do not make the Election would be entitled to have their shares redeemed for cash if we have not completed our initial business combination by the Extended Date. In addition, regardless of whether public shareholders vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, or do not vote, or do not instruct their broker or bank how to vote, at the Extraordinary General Meeting, if the Extension is implemented and a public shareholder does not make an Election, they will retain the right to vote on any proposed initial business combination in the future, including the VG Business Combination, if applicable, and the right to redeem their public shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of such initial business combination, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, in the event a proposed business combination, including the VG Business Combination, if applicable, is completed. We are not asking you to vote on any proposed business combination, including the VG Business Combination, at this time. We intend to file a separate proxy statement/prospectus pursuant to which we will seek approval of the VG Business Combination, among other things, at a separate extraordinary general meeting. If the Extension is not approved, we may not be able to consummate the VG Business Combination. We urge you to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting regarding the Extension. In addition, if you elect to redeem your shares at this time in connection with the Extension, sufficient cash amounts may not remain in the Trust Account to permit the Company to satisfy the related closing condition to the VG Business Combination. As a result, while VG may waive the related closing condition in certain circumstances, the VG Business Combination may not be consummated if there is not a sufficient amount of cash in the Trust Account as a result of redemptions of our shares in connection with the Extension, even if our shareholders vote to approve the Extension.
Based upon the amount in the Trust Account as of            , 2019, which was $          , we anticipate that the per-share price at which public shares will be redeemed from cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately $          at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting. The closing price of the public shares on the New York Stock Exchange on            , 2019, the most recent practicable closing price prior to the mailing of this Proxy Statement, was $          . We cannot assure shareholders that they will be able to sell their shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in our securities when such shareholders wish to sell their shares.
TO DEMAND REDEMPTION, PRIOR TO 5:00 P.M. EASTERN TIME On September       , 2019 (TWO BUSINESS DAYS BEFORE THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING), YOU SHOULD ELECT EITHER TO PHYSICALLY TENDER YOUR SHARE CERTIFICATES TO CONTINENTAL STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY OR TO DELIVER YOUR SHARES TO THE TRANSFER AGENT ELECTRONICALLY USING THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY’S DWAC (DEPOSIT/WITHDRAWAL AT CUSTODIAN), AS DESCRIBED HEREIN. YOU SHOULD ENSURE THAT YOUR BANK OR BROKER COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIREMENTS IDENTIFIED ELSEWHERE HEREIN.
ii

The purpose of the Trust Amendment is to amend the Trust Agreement to extend the date on which Continental must liquidate the Trust Account if we have not completed our initial business combination, from September 18, 2019 to December 18, 2019.
The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, will allow our board to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation of proxies. The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented to our shareholders in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal.
If the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal is not approved and we do not consummate our initial business combination by September 18, 2019 as contemplated by our IPO prospectus and in accordance with our Articles, we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, the holder of our Class B ordinary shares (the “founder shares” and, together with the public shares, the “shares” or “ordinary shares”), SCH Sponsor Corp. (our “Sponsor”), will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of its ownership of the founder shares.
The approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal requires a special resolution under the Cayman Islands Companies Law and our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the then issued and outstanding ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least 65% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares. The approval of both the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are essential to the implementation of our board’s plan to (1) extend the date by which we must consummate our initial business combination and (2) consummate the VG Business Combination. Therefore, our board will abandon and not implement either amendment unless our shareholders approve both the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal. This means that if one proposal is approved by the shareholders and the other proposal is not, neither proposal will take effect.
The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under the Cayman Islands Companies Law and our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then issued and outstanding ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Our board has fixed the close of business on            , 2019 as the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting and any adjournment thereof. Only holders of record of the ordinary shares on that date are entitled to have their votes counted at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof.
After careful consideration of all relevant factors, our board has determined that the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and, if presented, the Adjournment Proposal are advisable and recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” such proposals.
Under our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, no other business may be transacted at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Enclosed is the Proxy Statement containing detailed information concerning the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal and the Extraordinary General Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting, we urge you to read this material carefully and vote your ordinary shares.
           , 2019
By Order of the Board of Directors
Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer)​
Your vote is important. If you are a shareholder of record, please sign, date and return your proxy card as soon as possible to make sure that your shares are represented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If you are a shareholder of record, you may also cast your vote in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must instruct your broker or bank how to vote your shares, or you may cast your vote in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting by obtaining a proxy from your brokerage firm or bank. Your failure to vote or instruct your broker or bank how to vote will mean that your ordinary shares will not count towards the quorum requirement for the Extraordinary General Meeting and will not be voted. An abstention or broker non-vote will be counted towards the quorum requirement but will not count as a vote cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

SOCIAL CAPITAL HEDOSOPHIA HOLDINGS CORP.
A Cayman Islands Exempted Company
(Company Number 322408)

Palo Alto, CA 94301
EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
TO BE HELD ON            , 2019
PROXY STATEMENT
The extraordinary general meeting (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) of Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp. (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) will be held at           Pacific Time on            , 2019 at the offices of           , located at          , for the sole purpose of considering and voting upon the following proposals:

a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Articles”) pursuant to an amendment to the Articles in the form set forth in Annex A to this Proxy Statement (the “Extension Amendment” and such proposal the “Extension Amendment Proposal”) to extend the date by which the Company must (1) consummate a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “business combination”), (2) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such business combination, and (3) redeem all of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering that was consummated on September 18, 2017 (the “IPO”), from September 18, 2019 to December 18, 2019 (the “Extension”, and such date, the “Extended Date”);

a proposal to amend the Investment Management Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”), dated September 13, 2017, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee (“Continental”), pursuant to an amendment to the Trust Agreement in the form set forth in Annex B to this Proxy Statement, to extend the date on which Continental must liquidate the Trust Account (the “Trust Account”) established in connection with the IPO if the Company has not completed its initial business combination, from September 18, 2019 to December 18, 2019 (the “Trust Amendment” and such proposal the “Trust Amendment Proposal”); and

a proposal to approve the adjournment of the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”). The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal.
The purpose of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment is to allow us more time to complete our previously announced proposed business combination with VG (as defined in this Proxy Statement) (the “VG Business Combination”) in case such additional time is needed. The Articles provide that we have until September 18, 2019 to complete our initial business combination. While we have entered into the Merger Agreement (as defined in this Proxy Statement) with respect to the VG Business Combination, our board of directors (our “board”) currently believes that there may not be sufficient time before September 18, 2019 to hold an extraordinary general meeting at which to conduct a vote for the shareholder approvals required in connection with the VG Business Combination and consummate the closing of the VG Business Combination. Accordingly, our board believes that in order for our shareholders to evaluate the VG Business Combination and for us to be able to potentially consummate the VG Business Combination, we may need to obtain the Extension. However, if we are able to consummate the VG Business Combination before the Extraordinary General Meeting, we will not hold the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are both a condition to the implementation of the Extension. We are not permitted to redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. Consequently, we will not proceed with the Extension if redemptions of our public shares in connection with the Extension would cause us to have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal.
In connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, shareholders may elect to redeem their Class A ordinary shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned, divided by the number of then outstanding Class A ordinary shares included as part of the units sold in the IPO (including any shares of common stock issued in exchange thereof, the “public shares”), and which election we refer to as the “Election”. An Election can be made regardless of whether such public shareholders vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal and an Election can also be made by public shareholders who do not vote, or do not instruct their broker or bank how to vote, at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Holders of public shares (the “public shareholders”) may make an Election regardless of whether such public shareholders were holders as of the record date. Public shareholders who do not make the Election would be entitled to have their shares redeemed for cash if we have not completed our initial business combination by the Extended Date. In addition, regardless of whether public shareholders vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, or do not vote, or do not instruct their broker or bank how to vote, at the Extraordinary General Meeting, if the Extension is implemented and a public shareholder does not make an Election, they will retain the right to vote on any proposed initial business combination in the future, including the VG Business Combination, if applicable, and the right to redeem their public shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of such initial business combination, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, in the event a proposed business combination, including the VG Business Combination, if applicable, is completed. We are not asking you to vote on any proposed business combination, including the VG Business Combination, at this time. We intend to file a separate proxy statement/prospectus pursuant to which we will seek approval of the VG Business Combination, among other things, at a separate extraordinary general meeting. If the Extension is not approved, we may not be able to consummate the VG Business Combination. We urge you to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting regarding the Extension. In addition, if you elect to redeem your shares at this time in connection with the Extension, sufficient cash amounts may not remain in the Trust Account to permit the Company to satisfy the related closing condition to the VG Business Combination. As a result, while VG may waive the related closing condition in certain circumstances, the VG Business Combination may not be consummated if there is not a sufficient amount of cash in the Trust Account as a result of redemptions of our shares in connection with the Extension, even if our shareholders vote to approve the Extension.
The withdrawal of funds from the Trust Account in connection with the Election will reduce the amount held in the Trust Account following the Election, and the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be only a small fraction of the approximately $          that was in the Trust Account as of            , 2019. In such event, we may need to obtain additional funds to complete the VG Business Combination or any other initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on terms acceptable or at all.
If the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal is not approved and we do not consummate our initial business combination by September 18, 2019, as contemplated by our IPO prospectus and in accordance with our Articles, we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (3) as promptly as
2

reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, the holder of our Class B ordinary shares (the “founder shares” and, together with the public shares, the “shares” or “ordinary shares”), SCH Sponsor Corp. (our “Sponsor”), will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of its ownership of the founder shares.
Based upon the amount in the Trust Account as of            , 2019, which was $          , we anticipate that the per-share price at which public shares will be redeemed from cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately $          at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting. The closing price of the public shares on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on            , 2019, the most recent practicable closing price prior to the mailing of this Proxy Statement, was $          . We cannot assure shareholders that they will be able to sell their shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in our securities when such shareholders wish to sell their shares.
If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal will constitute consent for us to (1) remove from the Trust Account an amount (the “Withdrawal Amount”) equal to the number of public shares properly redeemed multiplied by the per-share price, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares and (2) deliver to the holders of such redeemed public shares their pro rata portion of the Withdrawal Amount. The remainder of such funds will remain in the Trust Account and will be available for use by us in connection with consummating an initial business combination on or before the Extended Date. Holders of public shares who do not redeem their public shares now will retain their redemption rights and their ability to vote on any initial business combination, including the VG Business Combination, if applicable, through the Extended Date if the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved.
Under the Trust Amendment Proposal, we will amend the Trust Agreement to extend the date on which Continental must liquidate the Trust Account to the Extended Date.
Our board has fixed the close of business on            , 2019 as the record date for determining our shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting and any adjournment thereof. Only holders of record of the ordinary shares on that date are entitled to have their votes counted at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof. On the record date of the Extraordinary General Meeting, there were 86,250,000 ordinary shares outstanding, of which 69,000,000 were public shares and 17,250,000 were founder shares. The founder shares carry voting rights in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, and we have been informed by our Sponsor, which holds all 17,250,000 founder shares, that it intends to vote in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.
This Proxy Statement contains important information about the Extraordinary General Meeting and the proposals. Please read it carefully and vote your shares.
We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. We have engaged Morrow Sodali LLC (“Morrow”), to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Extraordinary General Meeting. We have agreed to pay Morrow a fee of  $35,000. We will also reimburse Morrow for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify Morrow and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. In addition to these mailed proxy materials, our directors and officers may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. These parties will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.
This Proxy Statement is dated            , 2019 and is first being mailed to shareholders on or about            , 2019.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
These Questions and Answers are only summaries of the matters they discuss. They do not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read carefully the entire document, including the annexes to this Proxy Statement.
Q.
Why am I receiving this Proxy Statement?
A.
We are a blank check company incorporated on May 5, 2017 as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On September 18, 2017, we consummated our IPO from which we derived gross proceeds of  $690,000,000. Like many blank check companies, our Articles provide for the return of the funds held in trust to the holders of ordinary shares sold in our IPO if there is no qualifying business combination(s) consummated on or before a certain date (in our case, September 18, 2019). Our board has determined that it is in the best interests of our shareholders to extend the date that we have to consummate a business combination to the Extended Date in order to allow our shareholders to evaluate the VG Business Combination and for us to be able to potentially consummate the VG Business Combination, and is submitting these proposals to our shareholders to vote upon.
Q.
What is being voted on?
A.
You are being asked to vote on:

a proposal to amend our Articles to extend the date by which we have to consummate our initial business combination from September 18, 2019 to December 18, 2019;

a proposal to amend our Trust Agreement to extend the date on which Continental must liquidate the Trust Account if we have not completed our initial business combination, from September 18, 2019 to December 18, 2019; and

a proposal to approve the adjournment of the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal.
The approval of both the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are essential to the implementation of our board’s plan to (1) extend the date by which we must consummate our initial business combination and (2) consummate the VG Business Combination. Approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are both a condition to the implementation of the Extension.
4

We are not asking you to vote on any proposed business combination, including the VG Business Combination, at this time. We intend to file a separate proxy statement/prospectus pursuant to which we will seek approval of the VG Business Combination, among other things, at a separate extraordinary general meeting. If the Extension is not approved, we may not be able to consummate the VG Business Combination. We urge you to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting regarding the Extension. In addition, if you elect to redeem your shares at this time in connection with the Extension, sufficient cash amounts may not remain in the Trust Account to permit the Company to satisfy the related closing condition to the VG Business Combination. As a result, while VG may waive the related closing condition in certain circumstances, the VG Business Combination may not be consummated if there is not a sufficient amount of cash in the Trust Account as a result of redemptions of our shares in connection with the Extension, even if our shareholders vote to approve the Extension.
If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal will constitute consent for us to remove the Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account and deliver to the holders of redeemed public shares their pro rata portion of the Withdrawal Amount. The remainder of the funds will remain in the Trust Account and will be available for our use in connection with consummating a business combination on or before the Extended Date.
We are not permitted to redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001, and we will not proceed with the Extension if redemptions of our public shares in connection with the Extension would cause us to have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal.
If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved and the Extension is implemented, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account in connection with the Election will reduce the amount held in the Trust Account following the Election. We cannot predict the amount that will remain in the Trust Account if the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved and the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be only a small fraction of the approximately $          that was in the Trust Account as of            , 2019. In such event, we may need to obtain additional funds to complete the VG Business Combination or any other initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on terms acceptable or at all.
5

If the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal is not approved and we do not consummate our initial business combination by September 18, 2019, as contemplated by our IPO prospectus and in accordance with our Articles, we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, the holders of our founder shares, our Sponsor, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of its ownership of the founder shares.
Q.
Why is the Company proposing the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal?
A.
Our Articles provide for the return of the funds held in the Trust Account to the holders of public shares if there is no qualifying business combination(s) consummated on or before September 18, 2019. As we explain below, we may not be able to complete an initial business combination by that date.
We are asking for an extension of this timeframe in order to complete the VG Business Combination. While we have entered into the Merger Agreement with respect to the VG Business Combination, our board currently believes that there may not be sufficient time before September 18, 2019 to hold an extraordinary general meeting at which to conduct a vote for the shareholder approvals required in connection with the VG Business Combination and consummate the closing of the VG Business Combination.
Accordingly, in order for our shareholders to be able to evaluate the VG Business Combination and for us to be able to potentially consummate the VG Business Combination, we may need to obtain the Extension, our board is proposing the Extension Amendment Proposal to amend our Articles in the form set forth in Annex A hereto to extend the date by which
6

we must (1) consummate our initial business combination, (2) cease our operations except for the purpose of winding up if we fail to complete such business combination, and (3) redeem all the public shares, from September 18, 2019 to December 18, 2019, and our board is proposing the Trust Amendment Proposal to amend the Trust Agreement in the form set forth in Annex B to extend the date on which Continental must liquidate the Trust Account established in connection with our IPO if we have not completed a business combination, from September 18, 2019 to December 18, 2019. However, if we are able to consummate the VG Business Combination before the Extraordinary General Meeting, we will not hold the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Q.
Why should I vote “FOR” the Extension Amendment Proposal?
A.
Our Articles provide that if our shareholders approve an amendment to our Articles that would affect the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem all of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination before September 18, 2019, we will provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their ordinary shares upon such approval at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. We believe that this provision of the Articles was included to protect our shareholders from having to sustain their investments for an unreasonably long period if we failed to find a suitable business combination in the timeframe contemplated by the Articles.
Our board believes, however, that shareholders should have an opportunity to evaluate the VG Business Combination. Accordingly, our board is proposing the Extension Amendment to extend the date by which we have to complete our initial business combination until the Extended Date and to allow for the Election. The Extension would give us the opportunity to hold a shareholder vote for the approval of the VG Business Combination. In addition, approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Trust Amendment Proposal. If you do not elect to redeem your public shares, you will retain the right to vote on any proposed initial business combination in the future, including the VG Business Combination, if applicable, and the right to redeem your public shares in connection with such initial business combination.
Our board recommends that you vote in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal.
Q.
Why should I vote “FOR” the Trust Amendment Proposal?
A.
As discussed above, our board believes shareholders should have an opportunity to evaluate the VG Business Combination. In addition, approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Extension Amendment Proposal.
7

Whether a holder of public shares votes in favor of or against the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal, if such proposals are approved, the holder may, but is not required to, redeem all or a portion of its public shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. We will not proceed with the Extension if redemptions of our public shares would cause us to have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal.
If holders of public shares do not elect to redeem their public shares, such holders will retain redemption rights in connection with any future initial business combination we may propose, including the VG Business Combination, if applicable. Assuming the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, we will have until the Extended Date to complete our initial business combination.
Our board recommends that you vote in favor of the Trust Amendment Proposal.
Q.
Why should I vote “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal?
A.
If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by our shareholders, our board may not be able to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal.
If presented, our board recommends that you vote in favor of the Trust Amendment Proposal.
Q.
When would the Board abandon the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal?
A.
Our board will abandon the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment if our shareholders do not approve both the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal. Additionally, we are not permitted to redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001, and we will not proceed with the Extension if redemptions of our public shares in connection with the Extension would cause us to have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal.
Q.
How do the Company insiders intend to vote their shares?
A.
Our Sponsor owns 17,250,000 founder shares. Such founder shares represent 20% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares.
The founder shares carry voting rights in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, and we have been informed by our Sponsor, directors and executive officers that
8

they intend to vote in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.
In addition, our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates may purchase public shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting. However, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to purchase public shares in such transactions. Any such purchases that are completed after the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting may include an agreement with a selling shareholder that such shareholder, for so long as it remains the record holder of the shares in question, will vote in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal and/or will not exercise its redemption rights with respect to the shares so purchased. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that the resolutions to be put to the Extraordinary General Meeting are approved by the requisite number of votes. In the event that such purchases do occur, the purchasers may seek to purchase shares from shareholders who would otherwise have voted against the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal and/or elected to redeem their shares for a portion of the Trust Account. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are below or in excess of the per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. Any public shares held by or subsequently purchased by our affiliates may be voted in favor of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment proposals.
Q.
What vote is required to adopt the Extension Amendment Proposal?
A.
The approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal requires a special resolution under the Cayman Islands Companies Law and our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the then issued and outstanding ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Extension Amendment Proposal.
Q.
What vote is required to approve the Trust Amendment Proposal?
A.
The approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least 65% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares. Approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Trust Amendment Proposal.
Q.
What vote is required to approve the Adjournment Proposal?
A.
The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under the Cayman Islands Companies Law and our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, being the affirmative vote of the
9

holders of a majority of the then issued and outstanding ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Q.
What if I do not want to vote “FOR” the Extension Amendment Proposal or Trust Amendment Proposal?
A.
If you do not want the Extension Amendment Proposal to be approved, you must vote “AGAINST” the proposals. If you do not want the Trust Amendment Proposal to be approved, you must abstain, not vote, or vote “AGAINST” the proposals. If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, and the Extension is implemented, then the Withdrawal Amount will be withdrawn from the Trust Account and paid pro rata to the redeeming holders. You will still be entitled to make the Election if you vote against, abstain or do not vote on the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal.
Broker non-votes, abstentions or the failure to vote on the Trust Amendment Proposal will have the same effect as votes “AGAINST” the Trust Amendment Proposal. Broker “non-votes” and abstentions will have no effect with respect to the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal.
Q.
What happens if the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal is not approved?
A.
Our board will abandon the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment if our shareholders do not approve both the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal.
If the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal is not approved and we do not consummate our initial business combination by September 18, 2019, as contemplated by our IPO prospectus and in accordance with our Articles, we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a
10

liquidation, the holders of our founder shares, our Sponsor, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of its ownership of the founder shares.
Q.
If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, what happens next?
A.
We will continue our efforts to consummate the VG Business Combination.
Upon approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal by the requisite number of votes, the amendments to our Articles that are set forth in Annex A hereto will become effective. We will remain a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and our units, public shares and warrants will remain publicly traded.
If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account will reduce the amount remaining in the Trust Account and increase the percentage interest of our ordinary shares held by our Sponsor, our directors and our officers as a result of their ownership of the founder shares.
If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved but we do not complete our initial business combination by the Extended Date (or, if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, the holders of our founder shares, our Sponsor, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of its ownership of the founder shares.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will not proceed with the Extension if redemptions of our public shares would cause us to have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following
11

approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, and the consequences will be the same as if the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal were not approved, as described above.
Q.
What happens to the Company warrants if the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal is not approved?
A.
If the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal is not approved and we have not consummated a business combination by September 18, 2019, we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, the holders of our founder shares, our Sponsor, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of its ownership of the founder shares.
Q.
What happens to the Company warrants if the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved?
A.
If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, we will retain the blank check company restrictions previously applicable to us and continue to attempt to consummate an initial business combination until the Extended Date. The public warrants will remain outstanding and only become exercisable 30 days after the completion of an initial business combination, provided we have an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) covering the issuance of the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or we permit holders to exercise warrants on a cashless basis).
Q.
If I do not exercise my redemption rights now, would I still be able to exercise my redemption rights in connection with any future initial business combination?
A.
Unless you elect to redeem your shares at this time, you will be able to exercise redemption rights in respect of any future initial business combination, including the VG Business Combination, if applicable, subject to any limitations set forth in our Articles.
12

Q.
How do I change my vote?
A.
You may change your vote by sending a later-dated, signed proxy card to our Secretary at Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp., 120 Hawthorne Avenue Palo Alto, CA 94301, so that it is received prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting or by attending the Extraordinary General Meeting in person and voting. You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to the same address, which must be received by our Secretary prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Please note, however, that if on the record date your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, custodian bank, or other nominee then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. If your shares are held in street name, and you wish to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, you must bring to the Extraordinary General Meeting a legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee holding your shares, confirming your beneficial ownership of the shares and giving you the right to vote your shares.
Q.
How are votes counted?
A.
Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Extraordinary General Meeting, who will separately count “FOR” and “AGAINST” votes, abstentions and broker non-votes. The Extension Amendment Proposal must be approved as a special resolution under the Cayman Islands Companies Law and our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the then issued and outstanding ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The Trust Amendment Proposal must be approved by the affirmative vote of holders of at least 65% of the outstanding shares as of the record date.
Accordingly, a Company shareholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting means that such shareholder’s ordinary shares will not count towards the quorum requirement for the Extraordinary General Meeting and will not be voted. An abstention or broker non-vote will be counted towards the quorum requirement but will not count as a vote cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Accordingly, a Company shareholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting will not be counted towards the number of ordinary shares required to validly establish a quorum, and if a valid quorum is otherwise established, it will have no effect on the outcome of any vote
13

on the Adjournment Proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established, but will not count as a vote cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Q.
If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker automatically vote them for me?
A.
No. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank, or nominee. We believe all the proposals presented to the shareholders will be considered non-discretionary and therefore your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction. Your bank, broker, or other nominee can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide. If your shares are held by your broker as your nominee, which we refer to as being held in “street name”, you may need to obtain a proxy form from the institution that holds your shares and follow the instructions included on that form regarding how to instruct your broker to vote your shares.
Q.
What is a Quorum requirement?
A.
A quorum of our shareholders is necessary to hold a valid Extraordinary General Meeting. A quorum will be present at the Extraordinary General Meeting if the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting are represented in person or by proxy. As of the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting, the holders of at least 43,125,001 ordinary shares would be required to achieve a quorum.
Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you vote in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement, but will not count as a vote cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting. In the absence of a quorum, the chairman of the meeting has power to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Q.
Who can vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting?
A.
Only holders of record of our ordinary shares at the close of business on            , 2019 are entitled to have their vote counted at the Extraordinary General Meeting and any adjournments thereof. On this record date, 86,250,000 ordinary shares were outstanding and entitled to vote.
Shareholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name.    If on the record date your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, then you are a shareholder of record. As a
14

shareholder of record, you may vote in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person, we urge you to fill out and return the enclosed proxy card to ensure your vote is counted.
Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank.    If on the record date your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer, or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting. However, since you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other agent.
Q.
Does the board recommend voting for the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal?
A.
Yes. After careful consideration of the terms and conditions of these proposals, our board has determined that the Extension Amendment, the Trust Amendment and, if presented, the Adjournment Proposal are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The board recommends that our shareholders vote “FOR” the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal.
Q.
What interests do the Company’s Sponsor, directors and officers have in the approval of the proposals?
A.
Our Sponsor, directors and officers have interests in the proposals that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. These interests include, among other things, director or indirect ownership of founder shares and warrants that may become exercisable in the future and advances that will not be repaid in the event of our winding up and the possibility of future compensatory arrangements. See the section entitled “The Extraordinary General Meeting — Interests of our Sponsor, Directors and Officers”.
Q.
Do I have appraisal rights if I object to the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal?
A.
Our shareholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal under Cayman Islands law.
Q.
What do I need to do now?
A.
We urge you to read carefully and consider the information contained in this Proxy Statement, including the annexes, and to consider how the proposals will affect you as a shareholder. You should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this Proxy Statement and on the enclosed proxy card.
Q.
How do I vote?
A.
If you are a holder of record of our ordinary shares, you may vote in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting or by submitting a proxy for the Extraordinary General Meeting.
15

Whether or not you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope. You may still attend the Extraordinary General Meeting and vote in person if you have already voted by proxy.
If your ordinary shares are held in “street name” by a broker or other agent, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting. However, since you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other agent.
Q.
How do I redeem my ordinary shares?
A.
Each of our public shareholders may submit an election that, if the Extension is implemented, such public shareholder elects to redeem all or a portion of its public shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. You will also be able to redeem your public shares in connection with any proposed initial business combination, including the VG Business Combination, if applicable, or if we have not consummated our initial business combination by the Extended Date.
In order to tender your ordinary shares for redemption, you must elect either to physically tender your share certificates to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, at Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 1 State Street 30th Floor, New York, New York, 10004, Attn: Mark Zimkind, mzimkind@continentalstock.com, or to deliver your shares to the transfer agent electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) system, which election would likely be determined based on the manner in which you hold your shares. You should tender your ordinary shares in the manner described above prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September   , 2019 (two business days before the Extraordinary General Meeting).
Q.
How do I withdrawal my election to redeem my ordinary shares?
A.
If you delivered your ordinary shares for redemption to our transfer agent and decide prior to the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting not to redeem your shares, you may request that our transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting our transfer agent at the address listed above.
16

Q.
What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?
A.
You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this Proxy Statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards, if your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your shares.
Q.
Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?
A.
We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. We have engaged Morrow to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Extraordinary General Meeting. We have agreed to pay Morrow a fee of  $35,000. We will also reimburse Morrow for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify Morrow and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. In addition to these mailed proxy materials, our directors and officers may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. These parties will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.
Q.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Proxy Statement contains statements that are forward-looking and as such are not historical facts. This includes, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, including as they relate to the potential VG Business Combination. These statements constitute projections, forecasts and forward-looking statements, and are not guarantees of performance. They involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these statements. Such statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. When used in this Proxy Statement, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “strive,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. When the Company discusses its strategies or plans, including as they relate to the potential VG Business Combination, it is making projections, forecasts or forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on the beliefs of, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to, the Company’s management. Actual results and shareholders’ value will be affected by a variety of risks and factors, including, without limitation, international, national and local economic conditions, merger, acquisition and business combination risks, financing risks, geo-political risks, acts of terror or war, and those risk factors described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 18, 2019 and in other reports the Company files with the SEC. Many of the risks and factors that will determine these results and shareholders’ value are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict.
All such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Proxy Statement. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on the Company’s behalf are qualified in their entirety by this “Forward-Looking Statements” section.

BACKGROUND
We are a blank check company incorporated on May 5, 2017 as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.
On September 18, 2017, we consummated the IPO of our units (the “units”), with each unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, which we refer to (together with any shares of common stock issued in exchange thereof) as the “public shares”, and one-third of one redeemable warrant. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, we completed the private sale of 8,000,000 warrants (the “private placement warrants”), at a purchase price of  $1.50 per private placement warrant, to our Sponsor generating gross proceeds to us of  $12,000,000. The private placement warrants are identical to the warrants sold as part of the units in the IPO except that, so long as they are held by our Sponsor or its permitted transferees: (1) they will not be redeemable by us; (2) they (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by our Sponsor until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination; (3) they may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis; and (4) they (including the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of these warrants) are entitled to registration rights.
Following the closing of the IPO, a total of  $690,000,000, from the net proceeds of the sale of the units in the IPO and the private placement warrants was placed in the Trust Account. The proceeds held in the Trust Account may be invested by the trustee only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. At June 30, 2019, funds held in the Trust Account totaled approximately $          million, and were held in cash and U.S. Treasury Bills.
Our Sponsor, directors and officers have interests in the proposals that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. These interests include, among other things, director or indirect ownership of founder shares and warrants that may become exercisable in the future and advances that will not be repaid in the event of our winding up and the possibility of future compensatory arrangements. See the section entitled “The Extraordinary General Meeting — Interests of our Sponsor, Directors and Officers”.
On the record date of the Extraordinary General Meeting, there were 86,250,000 ordinary shares outstanding, of which 69,000,000 were public shares and 17,250,000 were founder shares. The founder shares carry voting rights in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, and we have been informed by our Sponsor, which holds all 17,250,000 founder shares, that it intends to vote in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.

THE EXTENSION AMENDMENT AND THE TRUST AMENDMENT PROPOSALS
The Extension Amendment Proposal
We are proposing to amend our Articles to extend the date by which we have to consummate a business combination to the Extended Date.
The approval of both the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are essential to the implementation of our board’s plan to (1) extend the date by which we must consummate our initial business combination and (2) consummate the VG Business Combination. Approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are both a condition to the implementation of the Extension.
If the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal is not approved and we have not consummated a business combination by September 18, 2019, we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, the holders of our founder shares, our Sponsor, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of its ownership of the founder shares.
The purpose of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment is to allow us more time to complete the proposed VG Business Combination in case such additional time is needed. The Articles provide that we have until September 18, 2019 to complete our initial business combination. While we have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Vieco 10 Limited, a company limited by shares under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“V10”), TSC Vehicle Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of V10 (“Company A”), Virgin Galactic Vehicle Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of V10 (“Company B”), and VGH, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of V10 (“Company LLC” and collectively with Company A and Company B, the “Companies” and together with V10, “VG”) and the other parties thereto with respect to the VG Business Combination, our board currently believes that there may not be sufficient time before September 18, 2019 to hold an extraordinary general meeting at which to conduct a vote for the shareholder approvals required in connection with the VG Business Combination and consummate the closing of the VG Business Combination. Accordingly, our board believes that in order for our shareholders to evaluate the VG Business Combination and for us to be able to potentially consummate the VG Business Combination, we may need to obtain the Extension. However, if we are able to consummate the VG Business Combination before the Extraordinary General Meeting, we will not hold the Extraordinary General Meeting.
A copy of the proposed amendments to the Articles of the Company is attached to this Proxy Statement in Annex A.
Trust Amendment Proposal
The purpose of the Trust Amendment is to amend the Trust Agreement to extend the date on which Continental must liquidate the Trust Account if we have not completed our initial business combination, from September 18, 2019 to December 18, 2019. A copy of the proposed amendments to the Trust Agreement is attached to this Proxy Statement in Annex B.

Reasons for the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal
Our Articles provide that if our shareholders approve an amendment to our Articles that would affect the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem all of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination before September 18, 2019, we will provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their ordinary shares upon such approval at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. We believe that this provision of the Articles was included to protect our shareholders from having to sustain their investments for an unreasonably long period if we failed to find a suitable business combination in the timeframe contemplated by the Articles. In addition, approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Extension Amendment Proposal.
Our board believes, however, that shareholders should have an opportunity to evaluate the VG Business Combination. Accordingly, our board is proposing the Extension Amendment to extend the date by which we have to complete our initial business combination until the Extended Date and to allow for the Election. The Extension would give us the opportunity to hold a shareholder vote for the approval of the VG Business Combination. In addition, approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Trust Amendment Proposal. If you do not elect to redeem your public shares, you will retain the right to vote on any proposed initial business combination in the future, including the VG Business Combination, if applicable, and the right to redeem your public shares in connection with such initial business combination.
If Either the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal Is Not Approved
The approval of both the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are essential to the implementation of our board’s plan to (1) extend the date by which we must consummate our initial business combination and (2) consummate the VG Business Combination. Therefore, our board will abandon and not implement either amendment unless our shareholders approve both the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal.
If the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal is not approved and we do not consummate our initial business combination by September 18, 2019, as contemplated by our IPO prospectus and in accordance with our Articles, we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, the holders of our founder shares, our Sponsor, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of its ownership of the founder shares.
If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal Are Approved
Upon approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal by the requisite number of votes, the amendments to our Articles that are set forth in Annex A hereto will become effective. We will remain a reporting company under the Exchange Act, and our units, public shares and warrants will remain publicly traded.
If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved and the Extension is implemented, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account in connection with the Election will reduce the amount held in the Trust Account following the Election. We cannot
21

predict the amount that will remain in the Trust Account if the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved and the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be only a small fraction of the approximately $             that was in the Trust Account as of            , 2019. In such event, we may need to obtain additional funds to complete the VG Business Combination or any other initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on terms acceptable or at all.
If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved but we do not complete our initial business combination by the Extended Date (or, if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. We cannot assure you that the per share distribution from the Trust Account, if we liquidate, will not be less than $10.00 due to unforeseen claims of creditors. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, the holders of our founder shares, our Sponsor, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of its ownership of the founder shares.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will not proceed with the Extension if redemptions of our public shares would cause us to have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, and the consequences will be the same as if the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal were not approved, as described above.
Redemption Rights
If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, and the Extension is implemented, each of our public shareholders may submit an election that, if the Extension is implemented, such public shareholder elects to redeem all or a portion of its public shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. You will also be able to redeem your public shares in connection with any proposed initial business combination, including the VG Business Combination, if applicable, or if we have not consummated our initial business combination by the Extended Date.
TO DEMAND REDEMPTION, PRIOR TO 5:00 P.M. EASTERN TIME ON September   , 2019 (TWO BUSINESS DAYS BEFORE THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING), YOU SHOULD ELECT EITHER TO PHYSICALLY TENDER YOUR SHARE CERTIFICATES TO CONTINENTAL STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY OR TO DELIVER YOUR SHARES TO THE TRANSFER AGENT ELECTRONICALLY USING DTC’S DWAC (DEPOSIT/WITHDRAWAL AT CUSTODIAN), AS DESCRIBED HEREIN. YOU SHOULD ENSURE THAT YOUR BANK OR BROKER COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIREMENTS IDENTIFIED ELSEWHERE HEREIN.
In order to tender your ordinary shares for redemption, you must elect either to physically tender your share certificates to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, at Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 1 State Street 30th Floor, New York, New York, 10004, Attn: Mark Zimkind, mzimkind@continentalstock.com, or to deliver your shares to the transfer agent electronically using DTC’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) system, which election would likely be determined based on the manner in which you hold your shares. You should tender your ordinary shares in the manner described above prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September   , 2019 (two business days before the Extraordinary General Meeting).
22

Through the DWAC system, this electronic delivery process can be accomplished by the shareholder, whether or not it is a record holder or its shares are held in “street name,” by contacting the transfer agent or its broker and requesting delivery of its shares through the DWAC system. Delivering shares physically may take significantly longer. In order to obtain a physical share certificate, a shareholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC, and our transfer agent will need to act together to facilitate this request. There is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $80 and the broker would determine whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming holder. It is our understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. We do not have any control over this process or over the brokers or DTC, and it may take longer than two weeks to obtain a physical share certificate. Such shareholders will have less time to make their investment decision than those shareholders that deliver their shares through the DWAC system. Shareholders who request physical share certificates and wish to redeem may be unable to meet the deadline for tendering their shares before exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.
Certificates that have not been tendered in accordance with these procedures prior to the vote on the Extension Amendment Proposal at the Extraordinary General Meeting will not be redeemed for cash held in the Trust Account on the redemption date. In the event that a public shareholder tenders its shares and decides prior to the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting that it does not want to redeem its shares, the shareholder may withdraw the tender. If you delivered your ordinary shares for redemption to our transfer agent and decide prior to the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting not to redeem your shares, you may request that our transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting our transfer agent at the address listed above. In the event that a public shareholder tenders shares and the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved, these shares will not be redeemed and the physical certificates representing these shares will be returned to the shareholder promptly following the determination that the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal will not be approved. The transfer agent will hold the certificates of public shareholders that make the Election until such shares are redeemed for cash or returned to such shareholders.
If properly demanded, we will redeem each public share for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. Based upon the amount in the Trust Account as of            , 2019, which was $          , we anticipate that the per-share price at which public shares will be redeemed from cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately $ at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting. The closing price of the public shares on the NYSE on            , 2019, the most recent practicable closing price prior to the mailing of this Proxy Statement, was $          . We cannot assure shareholders that they will be able to sell their shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in our securities when such shareholders wish to sell their shares.
If you exercise your redemption rights, you will be exchanging your ordinary shares for cash and will no longer own the shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly demand redemption and tender your share certificate(s) to our transfer agent prior to the vote on the Extension Amendment Proposal at the Extraordinary General Meeting. We anticipate that a public shareholder who tenders ordinary shares for redemption in connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal would receive payment of the redemption price for such shares soon after the completion of the Extension Amendment.

United States Federal Income Tax Considerations for Shareholders Exercising Redemption Rights
The following discussion is a summary of the U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to Redeeming U.S. Holders (as defined below) in connection with an Election. This discussion is a summary only and does not consider all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to Redeeming U.S. Holders in light of their particular circumstances, including:

financial institutions or financial services entities;

broker-dealers;

taxpayers that are subject to the mark-to-market accounting rules;

tax-exempt entities;

governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

insurance companies;

regulated investment companies;

real estate investment trusts;

expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;

persons that actually or constructively own five percent or more of our voting shares or five percent or more of the total value of all classes of our shares;

persons that acquired our securities pursuant to an exercise of employee share options, in connection with employee share incentive plans or otherwise as compensation;

persons that hold our securities as part of a straddle, constructive sale, hedging, conversion or other integrated or similar transaction; or

persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.
Moreover, the discussion below is based upon current U.S. federal income tax law, which is subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis, which may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences described herein. Furthermore, this discussion does not address any aspect of U.S. federal non-income tax laws, such as gift, estate or Medicare contribution tax laws, or state, local or non-U.S. tax laws. We have not sought, and will not seek, a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) as to any U.S. federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree with the discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.
This discussion does not consider the tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold our securities through such entities. If a partnership (or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of our securities, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding our securities, we urge you to consult your tax advisor.
As used herein, a “Redeeming U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of our Class A ordinary shares that holds its Class A ordinary shares as a capital asset for U.S. federal income tax purposes and elects to have such Class A ordinary shares redeemed for cash pursuant to the exercise of redemption rights through an Election and is:

an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is created or organized (or treated as created or organized) in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
24


an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

a trust if  (1) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) it has a valid election in place to be treated as a U.S. person.
THIS DISCUSSION IS ONLY A SUMMARY OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH AN ELECTION. EACH REDEEMING U.S. HOLDER IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH REDEEMING U.S. HOLDER OF THE EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS THROUGH AN ELECTION, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.
Redemption as Sale or Distribution
The U.S. federal income tax consequences of a redemption pursuant to an Election to a Redeeming U.S. Holder will depend, in part, on whether such redemption qualifies as a sale of the redeemed Class A ordinary shares under Section 302 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The redemption of Class A ordinary shares generally will be treated as a sale of the redeemed Class A ordinary shares (rather than as a distribution) if such redemption (1) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the Redeeming U.S. Holder, (2) results in a “complete termination” of the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s interest in us or (3) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the Redeeming U.S. Holder. These tests are explained more fully below.
For purposes of such tests, a Redeeming U.S. Holder takes into account not only Class A ordinary shares actually owned by the Redeeming U.S. Holder, but also our Class A ordinary shares that are constructively owned by such Redeeming U.S. Holder. A Redeeming U.S. Holder may constructively own, in addition to Class A ordinary shares owned directly, Class A ordinary shares owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the Redeeming U.S. Holder has an interest or that have an interest in such Redeeming U.S. Holder, as well as any Class A ordinary shares the Redeeming U.S. Holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include Class A ordinary shares which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the warrants.
The redemption of the Class A ordinary shares generally will be “substantially disproportionate” with respect to a Redeeming U.S. Holder if the percentage of our outstanding voting shares that the Redeeming U.S. Holder actually and constructively owns immediately after the redemption is less than 80 percent of the percentage of our outstanding voting shares that the Redeeming U.S. Holder actually and constructively owned immediately before the redemption. The Class A ordinary shares may not be treated as voting shares for this purpose and, consequently, this “substantially disproportionate” test may not be applicable. There will be a complete termination of a Redeeming U.S. Holder’s interest if either (i) all of our Class A ordinary shares actually and constructively owned by the Redeeming U.S. Holder are redeemed or (ii) all of our Class A ordinary shares actually owned by the Redeeming U.S. Holder are redeemed and the Redeeming U.S. Holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of Class A ordinary shares owned by certain family members and the Redeeming U.S. Holder does not constructively own any other of our shares. If a Redeeming U.S. Holder holds any warrants, the requirements for a complete termination would generally not be satisfied. The redemption of the Class A ordinary shares will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if it results in a “meaningful reduction” of the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in us. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. The IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority shareholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.”
If none of the above tests is satisfied, a redemption, including a redemption pursuant to an Election, will be treated as a distribution with respect to the Class A ordinary shares. As these rules are complex, Redeeming U.S. Holders considering exercising their redemption rights should consult their tax advisors as to whether the redemption will be treated as a sale or as a distribution under the Code.
25

Tax Consequences to Redeeming U.S. Holders of Redemptions Treated as Sales
Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, if the redemption is treated as a sale with respect to a Redeeming U.S. Holder, such Redeeming U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the redemption and such Redeeming U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis in its Class A ordinary shares redeemed. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Class A ordinary shares redeemed exceeds one year at the time of the redemption. It is unclear, however, the redemption rights associated with the Class A ordinary shares may suspend the running of the applicable holding period for this purpose. Long-term capital gain realized by a non-corporate Redeeming U.S. Holder is currently eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deduction of capital losses is subject to certain limitations. Redeeming U.S. Holders who hold different blocks of Class A ordinary shares (generally, shares purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.
Tax Consequences to Redeeming U.S. Holders of Redemptions Treated as Distributions
Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, if a redemption is treated as a distribution to a Redeeming U.S. Holder, such Redeeming U.S. Holder generally will be required to include in gross income the consideration paid to such Redeeming U.S. Holder as dividend income for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Such amounts treated as dividends paid by us generally will be taxable to a corporate U.S. Holder at regular rates and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to domestic corporations in respect of dividends received from other domestic corporations. With respect to non-corporate U.S. Holders, dividends will be taxed at the lower applicable long-term capital gains rate only if our ordinary shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States and certain other requirements are met, including that we are not classified as a PFIC during the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year. Because, as discussed below, we believe it is likely that we were a PFIC for our initial taxable year ended December 31, 2017, our taxable year ended December 31, 2018, and will be for our current taxable year, it is likely that the lower applicable long-term capital gains rate would not apply to any redemption proceeds treated as a distribution.
Passive Foreign Investment Company (“PFIC”) Rules
A foreign (i.e., non-U.S.) corporation will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes if either (i) at least 75% of its gross income in a taxable year, including its pro rata share of the gross income of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, is passive income or (ii) at least 50% of its assets in a taxable year (ordinarily determined based on fair market value and averaged quarterly over the year) are held for the production of, or produce, passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of passive assets.
Because we are a blank check company with no current active business, we believe that it is likely that we met the PFIC asset or income test for our initial taxable year ended December 31, 2017, our taxable year ended December 31, 2018, and will be for our current taxable year. Accordingly, if a Redeeming U.S. Holder does not make in respect of our Class A ordinary shares (1) a timely qualified electing fund (“QEF”) election for our first taxable year as a PFIC in which the Redeeming U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Class A ordinary shares or (2) a timely “mark to market” election, in each case, as described below, such Redeeming U.S. Holder generally will be subject to special rules with respect to:

any gain recognized by the Redeeming U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its Class A ordinary shares or warrants, which would include a redemption pursuant to an Election, if such redemption is treated as a sale under the rules discussed above under the heading “Redemption as Sale or Distribution”; and

any “excess distribution” made to the Redeeming U.S. Holder (generally, any distributions to such Redeeming U.S. Holder during a taxable year of the Redeeming U.S. Holder that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such Redeeming U.S. Holder in respect of
26

the Class A ordinary shares during the three preceding taxable years of such Redeeming U.S. Holder or, if shorter, such Redeeming U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Class A ordinary shares), which may include a redemption pursuant to an Election to the extent such redemption is treated as a distribution under the rules discussed above under the heading “Redemption as Sale or Distribution.”
Under these special rules

the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Class A ordinary shares or warrants;

the amount allocated to the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the Redeeming U.S. Holder recognized the gain or received the excess distribution, or to the period in the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income;

the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the Redeeming U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the Redeeming U.S. Holder; and

an additional tax equal to the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the Redeeming U.S. Holder with respect to the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of the Redeeming U.S. Holder.
QEF Election
A Redeeming U.S. Holder may avoid the PFIC rules described above in respect to our Class A ordinary shares by making a timely election (if eligible to do so) to treat us as a QEF. If we are treated as a QEF with respect to a Redeeming U.S. Holder, such Redeeming U.S. Holder must include in gross income on a current basis (in the taxable year of such Redeeming U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends) its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as long-term capital gain) and our ordinary earnings (as ordinary income), in each case, whether or not distributed. A Redeeming U.S. Holder generally may make a separate election to defer the payment of taxes on undistributed income inclusions under these QEF rules, but if deferred, any such taxes will be subject to an interest charge.
If a Redeeming U.S. Holder has made a QEF election with respect to our Class A ordinary shares for our first taxable year as a PFIC in which the Redeeming U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) such shares, (1) any gain recognized as a result of a redemption pursuant to an Election (if such redemption is treated as a sale under the rules discussed above under the heading “Redemption as Sale or Distribution”) generally will be taxable as capital gain and no additional tax will be imposed under the PFIC rules, and (2) to the extent such redemption is treated as a distribution under the rules discussed above under the heading “Redemption as Sale or Distribution,” any distribution of ordinary earnings that were previously included in income generally should not be taxable as a dividend to such Redeeming U.S. Holder. The tax basis of a Redeeming U.S. Holder’s shares in a QEF will be increased by amounts that are included in income and decreased by amounts distributed but not taxed as dividends under the above rules. Similar basis adjustments apply to property if by reason of holding such property, the Redeeming U.S. Holder is treated under the applicable attribution rules as owning shares in a QEF.
The QEF election is made on a shareholder-by-shareholder basis and, once made, can be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. A Redeeming U.S. Holder generally makes a QEF election by attaching a completed IRS Form 8621 (Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund), including the information provided in a PFIC Annual Information Statement, to a timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the tax year to which the election relates. Retroactive QEF elections generally may be made only by filing a protective statement with such return and if certain other conditions are met or with the consent of the IRS. Redeeming U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a retroactive QEF election under their particular circumstances.
27

If a Redeeming U.S. Holder makes a QEF election after our first taxable year as a PFIC in which the Redeeming U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Class A ordinary shares, the adverse PFIC tax consequences (with adjustments to take into account any current income inclusions resulting from the QEF election) will continue to apply with respect to such Class A ordinary shares unless the Redeeming U.S. Holder makes a purging election under the PFIC rules. Under the purging election, the Redeeming U.S. Holder will be deemed to have sold such Class A ordinary shares at their fair market value and any gain recognized on such deemed sale will be treated as an excess distribution, taxed under the PFIC rules described above. As a result of the purging election, the Redeeming U.S. Holder will have a new basis and holding period in such Class A ordinary shares for purposes of the PFIC rules.
In order to comply with the requirements of a QEF election, a Redeeming U.S. Holder must receive a PFIC Annual Information Statement from us. We will endeavor to provide to a Redeeming U.S. Holder such information as the IRS may require, including a PFIC Annual Information Statement, upon request, in order to enable the Redeeming U.S. Holder to make and maintain a QEF election. There is no assurance that we will timely provide such required information.
Mark-to-Market Election
Alternatively, if we are a PFIC and our Class A ordinary shares constitute “marketable stock,” a Redeeming U.S. Holder may avoid the adverse PFIC tax consequences discussed above if such Redeeming U.S. Holder, at the close of the first taxable year in which it holds (or is deemed to hold) our Class A ordinary shares, makes a mark-to-market election with respect to such Class A ordinary shares for such taxable year. Such Redeeming U.S. Holder generally will include for each of its taxable years as ordinary income the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its Class A ordinary shares at the end of such year over its adjusted basis in its Class A ordinary shares. The Redeeming U.S. Holder also will recognize an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of its adjusted basis of its Class A ordinary shares over the fair market value of its Class A ordinary shares at the end of its taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election). The Redeeming U.S. Holder’s basis in its Class A ordinary shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts, and any further gain recognized on a sale or other taxable disposition of its Class A ordinary shares will be treated as ordinary income. Currently, a mark-to-market election may not be made with respect to warrants.
The mark-to-market election is available only for “marketable stock,” generally, stock that is regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the SEC, including the NYSE, or on a foreign exchange or market that the IRS determines has rules sufficient to ensure that the market price represents a legitimate and sound fair market value. Redeeming U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisor regarding the availability and tax consequences of a mark-to-market election in respect to our Class A ordinary shares under their particular circumstances.
Certain PFIC Reporting
A Redeeming U.S. Holder that owns (or is deemed to own) shares in a PFIC during any taxable year of the Redeeming U.S. Holder, may have to file an IRS Form 8621 (whether or not a QEF or market-to-market election is made) and such other information as may be required by the U.S. Treasury Department. Failure to do so, if required, will extend the statute of limitations until such required information is furnished to the IRS.
The application of the PFIC rules is extremely complex. Shareholders considering participating in the redemption should consult with their tax advisors concerning the application of the PFIC rules in their particular circumstances.

The Extraordinary General Meeting
Date, Time and Place.    The Extraordinary General Meeting of our shareholders will be held at Pacific Time on September            , 2019 at           offices, located at          .
Voting Power; Record Date.    You will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting, if you owned the ordinary shares at the close of business on            , 2019, the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting. You will have one vote per proposal for each share of ordinary shares you owned at that time. The Company warrants do not carry voting rights.
Votes Required.    The approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal requires a special resolution under the Cayman Islands Companies Law and our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the then issued and outstanding ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least 65% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as a vote cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
On the record date of the Extraordinary General Meeting, there were 86,250,000 ordinary shares outstanding, of which 69,000,000 were public shares and 17,250,000 were founder shares. The founder shares carry voting rights in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, and we have been informed by our Sponsor, that which holds all 17,250,000 founder shares, that it intends to vote in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.
If you do not want the Extension Amendment Proposal to be approved, you must vote “AGAINST” the proposals. If you do not want the Trust Amendment Proposal to be approved, you must abstain, not vote, or vote “AGAINST” the proposals. If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, and the Extension is implemented, then the Withdrawal Amount will be withdrawn from the Trust Account and paid pro rata to the redeeming holders. You will still be entitled to make the Election if you vote against, abstain or do not vote on the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal.
Broker non-votes, abstentions or the failure to vote on the Trust Amendment Proposal will have the same effect as votes “AGAINST” the Trust Amendment Proposal. Broker “non-votes” and abstentions will have no effect with respect to the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal.
Proxies; Board Solicitation; Proxy Solicitor.    Your proxy is being solicited by our board on the proposals to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal being presented to shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting. We have engaged Morrow to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Extraordinary General Meeting. No recommendation is being made as to whether you should elect to redeem your shares. Proxies may be solicited in person or by telephone. If you grant a proxy, you may still revoke your proxy and vote your shares in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting if you are a holder of record of the ordinary shares. You may contact Morrow at:

Required Vote
The approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal requires a special resolution under the Cayman Islands Companies Law and our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the then issued and outstanding ordinary shares
29

who, being present and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Extension Amendment Proposal. The approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least 65% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares. Approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Trust Amendment Proposal.
If the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal is not approved and we do not consummate our initial business combination by September 18, 2019, as contemplated by our IPO prospectus and in accordance with our Articles, we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. We cannot assure you that the per share distribution from the Trust Account, if we liquidate, will not be less than $10.00 due to unforeseen claims of creditors. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, the holders of our founder shares, our Sponsor, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of its ownership of the founder shares.
The approval of both the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are essential to the implementation of our board’s plan to (1) extend the date by which we must consummate our initial business combination and (2) consummate the VG Business Combination. Therefore, our board will abandon and not implement either amendment unless our shareholders approve both the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal. This means that if one proposal is approved by the shareholders and the other proposal is not, neither proposal will take effect. Additionally, we will not proceed with the Extension if redemptions of our public shares would cause us to have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal.
In addition, our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates may purchase public shares in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting. However, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds in the Trust Account will be used to purchase public shares in such transactions. Any such purchases that are completed after the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting may include an agreement with a selling shareholder that such shareholder, for so long as it remains the record holder of the shares in question, will vote in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal and/or will not exercise its redemption rights with respect to the shares so purchased. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood that the resolutions to be put to the Extraordinary General Meeting are approved by the requisite number of votes. In the event that such purchases do occur, the purchasers may seek to purchase shares from shareholders who would otherwise have voted against the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal and/or elected to redeem their shares for a portion of the Trust Account. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are below or in excess of the per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account. Any public shares held by or subsequently purchased by our affiliates may be voted in favor of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment proposals. Our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates will be restricted from making any such purchases when they are in possession of any material non-public information not disclosed to the seller or during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act.
30

Interests of our Sponsor, Directors and Officers
When you consider the recommendation of our board, you should keep in mind that our Sponsor, directors and officers have interests that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

If we do not consummate our initial business combination transaction by September 18, 2019, which is 24 months from the closing of our IPO, or by the Extended Date if the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved by the requisite number of votes (or, if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), we would: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses and which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the founder shares, which are owned by our Sponsor, would be worthless because following the redemption of the public shares, we would likely have few, if any, net assets and because our holders of our founder shares have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the founder shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the required period.

In addition, simultaneously with the closing of our IPO, we consummated the sale of 8,000,000 private placement warrants at a price of  $1.50 per warrant in a private placement to our Sponsor. The warrants are each exercisable for one ordinary share at $11.50 per share. If we do not consummate our initial business combination by September 18, 2019, or by the Extended Date if the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved by the requisite number of votes (or, if such date is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date) then the proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants will be part of the liquidating distribution to the public shareholders and the warrants held by our Sponsor and its affiliate will be worthless.

Our directors and executive officers may continue to be directors and officers of any acquired business after the consummation of an initial business combination. As such, in the future they will receive any cash fees, stock options or stock awards that a post-business combination board of directors determines to pay to its directors and officers if they continue as directors and officers following such initial business combination. Certain of our directors are currently expected to continue as our directors after the consummation of the VG Business Combination.

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, our Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than our independent auditors) for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case net of the amount of interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

A party related to our Sponsor and certain of our officers and directors has advanced funds to us for working capital purposes, including $405,124 as of March 31, 2019. These advances are non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand. If we do not complete our initial business combination within the required period, we may use a portion of our working capital held outside
31

the Trust Account to repay such advances and any other working capital advances made to us, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay such advances and any other working capital advances made to us, and such related party may not be able to recover the value it has loaned us and any other working capital advances it may make.
The Board’s Reasons for the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposals and Its Recommendation
As discussed below, after careful consideration of all relevant factors, our board has determined that the Extension Amendment and Trust Amendment are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Our board has approved and declared advisable adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, and recommends that you vote “FOR” such proposals.
Our Articles provide that we have until September 18, 2019 to complete our initial business combination under its terms. Our Articles provide that if our shareholders approve an amendment to our Articles that would affect the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem all of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination before September 18, 2019, we will provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their ordinary shares upon such approval at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. We believe that this provision of the Articles was included to protect our shareholders from having to sustain their investments for an unreasonably long period if we failed to find a suitable business combination in the timeframe contemplated by the Articles. In addition, approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Extension Amendment Proposal.
We believe that it is in the best interests of our shareholders to extend the date that we have to consummate a business combination to the Extended Date in order to allow our shareholders to evaluate the VG Business Combination and for us to be able to potentially consummate the VG Business Combination. In addition, approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Trust Amendment Proposal.
After careful consideration of all relevant factors, our board determined that the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
Our Board unanimously recommends that our shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of both the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal.
32

THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL
Overview
The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, will allow our board to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation of proxies. The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented to our shareholders in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal. In no event will our board adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting beyond September 18, 2019.
Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved
If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by our shareholders, our board may not be able to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal.
Vote Required for approval
The Adjournment Proposal must be approved as an ordinary resolution under the Cayman Islands Companies Law and our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then issued and outstanding ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as a vote cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
Recommendation of the Board
If presented, our board unanimously recommends that our shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal.

SUBMISSION OF SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and we do not consummate a business combination by December 16, 2019, we anticipate our next annual meeting of shareholders will be held on or about December 16, 2019, unless the date is changed by our board. For any proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement and form of proxy for submission to the shareholders at such annual meeting, it must be submitted in writing and comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act and our then effective organizational documents. Assuming the meeting is held on December 16, 2019, such proposals must have been received by us at our offices at 120 Hawthorne Avenue Palo Alto, CA 94301no later than November 1, 2019.
In addition, Article 20.8 of our Articles provides notice procedures for shareholders to nominate candidates for election as directors at an annual general meeting or to propose business to be considered by shareholders at an annual general meeting. To be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be delivered to us at our principal executive offices not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the anniversary of the immediately preceding annual general meeting (or if no such meeting has occurred, the anniversary of the consummation of the IPO). The Chairman of our Board may refuse to acknowledge the introduction of any shareholder proposal not made in compliance with the foregoing procedures. Assuming the meeting is held on December 16, 2019, such proposals must have been received by us at our offices at 120 Hawthorne Avenue Palo Alto, CA 94301 no later than June 20, 2018 and no earlier than May 21, 2018.
If the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal is not approved and we do not consummate a business combination by September 18, 2019, we do not expect to hold any future annual meetings.
HOUSEHOLDING INFORMATION
Unless we have received contrary instructions, we may send a single copy of this Proxy Statement to any household at which two or more shareholders reside if we believe the shareholders are members of the same family. This process, known as “householding,” reduces the volume of duplicate information received at any one household and helps to reduce our expenses. However, if shareholders prefer to receive multiple sets of our disclosure documents at the same address this year or in future years, the shareholders should follow the instructions described below. Similarly, if an address is shared with another shareholder and together both of the shareholders would like to receive only a single set of our disclosure documents, the shareholders should follow these instructions:

if the shares are registered in the name of the shareholder, the shareholder should contact us at our offices at 120 Hawthorne Avenue Palo Alto, CA 94301, to inform us of the shareholder’s request; or

if a bank, broker or other nominee holds the shares, the shareholder should contact the bank, broker or other nominee directly.

ANNEX B​
FORM OF AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT TRUST AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT TRUST AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is made as of September   , 2019, by and between Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation (the “Trustee”). Capitalized terms contained in this Amendment, but not specifically defined in this Amendment, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original Agreement (as defined below).
WHEREAS, on September 18, 2017, the Company consummated an initial public offering (the “Offering”) of units of the Company, each of which is composed of one of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Ordinary Shares”), and one-third of one warrant, each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share;
WHEREAS, $690,000,000 of the gross proceeds of the Offering (including $24,150,000, of underwriters’ deferred discount) and sale of the Private Placement Warrants (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement) were delivered to the Trustee to be deposited and held in the segregated Trust Account located in the United States for the benefit of the Company and the holders of Ordinary Shares included in the Units issued in the Offering pursuant to the investment management trust agreement made effective as of September 13, 2017 by and between the Company and the Trustee (the “Original Agreement”);
WHEREAS, the Company has sought the approval of the holders of its Ordinary Shares and holders of its Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”), at an extraordinary general meeting to: (i) extend the date before which the Company must complete a business combination from September 18, 2019 to December 18, 2019 (the “Extension Amendment”) and (ii) extend the date on which the Trustee must liquidate the Trust Account if the Company has not completed its initial business combination from September 18, 2019 to December 18, 2019 (the “Trust Amendment”);
WHEREAS, holders of at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the then issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares, voting together as a single class, approved the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment; and
WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the Original Agreement to, among other things, reflect amendments to the Original Agreement contemplated by the Trust Amendment.
