Explanatory Note

On February 7, 2020, EdtechX Holdings Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original 8-K”) announcing the last sale price that the Company’s common stock had to equal or exceed to obtain an additional three months to consummate its initial business combination (the “Extension”). Subsequent to the filing of the Original 8-K, the Company’s financial and tax advisors determined to lower the Company’s estimates for its tax provisions and liabilities. As a result, the price necessary to obtain the Extension was higher than indicated in the Original 8-K. Accordingly, the Company is filing this Amendment to the Original 8-K to provide such revised last sales price. Except as set forth herein, no modifications have been made to the information contained in the Original 8-K and the Company has not updated any information contained therein to reflect any events that have occurred since the date of the Original 8-K.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

As indicated in the final prospectus, dated October 5, 2018, of EdtechX Holdings Acqusition Corp. (“EdtechX”), EdtechX has until 18 months from the consummation of its initial public offering (or April 10, 2020) to consummate an initial business combination (or 21 months from the consummation of the initial public offering (or July 10, 2020) if (i) it has filed proxy solicitation or tender offer materials in compliance with Regulation 14A and Regulation 14E, respectively, of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) relating to a proposed business combination by April 10, 2020 and a business combination has not yet been consummated by such date and (ii) the last sales price of EdtechX’s common stock equals or exceeds the estimated per-share value of the amount in the trust account on April 10, 2020 for any 20 trading days within the 30 trading day period ending on March 10, 2020). EdtechX has determined that the estimated per-share amount in trust on the 18-month anniversary of the consummation of its initial public offering is $10.35. EdtechX filed its preliminary proxy solicitation material with the SEC on January 9, 2020. Accordingly, the last sales price of EdtechX’s common stock must equal or exceed $10.35 for any 20 trading days within the 30 trading day period ending March 10, 2020 for EdtechX to have the additional three months to consummate its initial business combination.
