EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 4 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO originally filed by Meten EdtechX Education Group Ltd. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 7, 2020, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule TO on December 16, 2020, Amendment No. 2 to Schedule TO on December 28, 2020, and Amendment No 3 to Schedule TO on December 31, 2020 (the “Schedule TO”), in connection with the Company’s offer to the holders of outstanding warrants to purchase 12,705,000 ordinary shares, US$0.0001 par value (the “Ordinary Shares”) issued in the Company’s business combination (“Business Combination”) which led to it becoming a public company, each with an exercise price of $11.50 per share, and any subsequently issued warrants with identical terms and conditions (collectively, the “Warrants”), the opportunity to exercise the Warrants at a temporarily reduced exercise price of $1.40 per Ordinary Share, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Exercise Warrants to Purchase Ordinary Shares, dated December 7, 2020 and filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(B) to this Schedule TO (the “Original Offer to Exercise”), as supplemented by the Supplement to Offer to Exercise Warrants to Purchase Ordinary Shares, dated December 16, 2020 and filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(H) to the Schedule TO (the “Supplement,” and the Original Offer to Exercise, as supplemented by the Supplement, the “Offer to Exercise”). This Amendment No. 4 is the final amendment to the Schedule TO in accordance with Rule 13e-4(c)(4) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Exercise.
At 11:59 P.M. (Eastern Time) on January 5, 2021, the offering period and withdrawal rights for the Offer to Exercise expired. Upon completion of the Offer to Exercise, 4,423,062 Warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares had been validly tendered for cash exercise and not withdrawn in the Offer to Exercise, for gross cash proceeds to the Company of $6,192,286.80. In addition, 2,629,812 Warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares had been validly tendered for cashless exercise, resulting in the issuance of 1,364,512 Ordinary Shares. The Company did not receive any proceeds from these cashless exercises. Accordingly, the Company is instructing its transfer agent to issue an aggregate of 5,787,574 Ordinary Shares to participants in the Offer to Exercise.
The exercise price of all outstanding Warrants following the Expiration Date are temporarily reduced to $2.50 per share, and are subject to a “full-ratchet” anti-dilution protection with respect to subsequent equity sales in which any person will be entitled to acquire Ordinary Shares at an effective price per share that is lower than the then exercise price of the Warrants, subject to customary exceptions (the “Second Reduction Period”). The Second Reduction Period will terminate on the later to occur of (i) the date following which the closing price of the Ordinary Shares has been equal to or greater than $3.00 per share for at least twenty (20) trading days during the preceding thirty (30) trading day period or (ii) Monday, March 7, 2021. Upon any termination of the Second Reduction Period, the exercise price of the outstanding Warrants will be reset to $11.50 per share and such exercise price will no longer be subject to the “full-ratchet” anti-dilution protection. The one-time full-ratchet anti-dilution protection will also terminate upon the closing of bona fide equity financing (meaning raising gross proceeds of at least $10 million) by the Company at a per share price above $2.50 during the Second Reduction Period.
Following the issuance of the Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants under the Offer to Exercise the Company will have 62,662,122 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.
