Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On May 14, 2019, the registration statement (File No. 333-230804) (the “Registration Statement”) relating to the initial public offering (“IPO”) of AGBA Acquisition Limited (the “Company”) was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In connection therewith, the Company entered into the following agreements previously filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement:

 

An Underwriting Agreement, dated May 14, 2019, by and between the Company and Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”), as representative of the underwriters;

A Warrant Agreement, dated May 14, 2019, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company;

A Rights Agreement, dated May 14, 2019, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company;

Letter Agreements, dated May 14, 2019, by and between the Company and each of the initial shareholders, officers and directors of the Company;

An Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated May 14, 2019, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company;

A Stock Escrow Agreement, dated May 14, 2019, by and among the Company, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and each of the initial shareholders of the Company; and

A Registration Rights Agreement, dated May 14, 2019, by and among the Company and the initial shareholders of the Company.

 

On May 16, 2019, the Company consummated the IPO of 4,600,000 units (the “Units”), which includes the full exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option of 600,000 Units. Each Unit consists of one ordinary share (“Ordinary Share”), one warrant (“Warrant”) entitling its holder to purchase one-half of one Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per whole share, and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of an Ordinary Share upon the consummation of an initial business combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $46,000,000. In addition, the Company sold to Maxim (and/or or its designees), for $100, an option to purchase up to 276,000 units exercisable at $11.00 per unit pursuant to the Unit Purchase Option agreement as set forth in Exhibit 4.7, commencing at any time between the first and fifth anniversary of the effective date of the Registration Statement.

 

As of May 16, 2019, a total of $46,000,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement (as defined below) were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders. An audited balance sheet as of August 6, 2018 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement will be filed within 4 days of the consummation of the IPO.

 

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) with its sponsor of 225,000 units (the “Private Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $2,250,000.

 

The Private Units are identical to the Units (as defined below) sold in the IPO except that the warrants included in the Private Units will be non-redeemable and may be exercised on a cashless basis, in each case so long as they continue to be held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. Additionally, because the Private Units were issued in a private transaction, the initial purchasers and their permitted transferees will be allowed to exercise the warrants included in the Private Units for cash even if a registration statement covering the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants is not effective and receive unregistered ordinary shares. Additionally, such initial purchasers agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Units or underlying securities (except in limited circumstances, as described in the Registration Statement) until the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. Such Initial Purchasers were granted certain demand and piggyback registration rights in connection with the purchase of the Private Units.

 

 

 

 

The Private Units were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the transactions did not involve a public offering.
