On June 29, 2023, Meta Data Limited (the “Company”) entered into certain securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with certain “non-U.S. Persons” (the “Purchasers”) as defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell an aggregate of 40,109,096 units (the “Units”), each Unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0005 per share (“Share”) and a warrant to purchase one Share (“Warrant”) with an initial exercise price of $0.7791 per Share, or $1.5582 per American depositary share of the Company (“ADS”) at a price of $0.6233 per Unit, or $1.2466 per ADS, for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000,000 (the “Offering”). The net proceeds of the Offering shall be used by the Company for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Warrants are exercisable immediately upon the date of issuance at an initial exercise price of $0.7791 per Share, or $1.5582 per ADS, for cash (the “Warrant Shares”). The Warrants may also be exercised cashlessly if at any time after the three-month anniversary of the issuance date, there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares. The Warrants shall expire five years from its date of issuance. The Warrants are subject to customary anti-dilution provisions reflecting stock dividends and splits or other similar transactions, and full ratchet anti-dilution protection with respect to the issuance of ordinary shares or ordinary share equivalents for consideration per share less than the initial exercise price of the Warrants. The Warrants contain a mandatory exercise right for the Company to force exercise of the Warrants if the Company’s Shares trades at or above $2.3373 per Share, or $4.6746 per ADS, for 20 consecutive trading days, provided, among other things, that the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are registered or may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 and the daily trading volume exceeds 300,000 Shares per trading day on each trading day in a period of 20 consecutive trading days prior to the applicable date.

The parties to the SPA have each made customary representations, warranties and covenants, including, among other things, (a) the Purchasers are “non-U.S. Persons” as defined in Regulation S and are acquiring the Shares for the purpose of investment, (d) the absence of any undisclosed material adverse effects, and (e) the absence of legal proceedings that affect the completion of the transaction contemplated by the SPA.

The SPA is subject to various conditions to closing, including, among other things, (a) NYSE approval of the supplemental listing application for the Units and (b) accuracy of the parties’ representations and warranties.

The forms of the SPA and the Warrant are filed as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 6-K and such document is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing is only a brief description of the material terms of the SPA and Warrant, and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits.
