part I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Introduction

8i Enterprises Acquisition Corp (“8i”) is a British Virgin Islands business company incorporated on November 24, 2017 as a blank check company for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination, with one or more target businesses. Our efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to any particular industry or geographic location, although we intend to focus on targets located in Asia.

On April 1, 2019, we consummated our initial public offering (“IPO”) of 5,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one ordinary share (the “Ordinary Shares”), one redeemable warrant to purchase one-half of one ordinary share (the “Public Warrants”) and one right to receive 1/10 of an Ordinary Share upon the consummation of our initial business combination (the “Rights”). The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $50,000,000. The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 750,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any.

On April 1, 2019, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, we consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) with 8i Enterprises Pte Ltd, an entity controlled by 8i’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“Enterprises”) of 221,250 units (the “Private Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $2,212,500. The Private Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO, except that the warrants underlying the Private Units (i) may be exercised on a cashless basis at the holder’s option and (ii) will not be redeemable by the Company, in each case as long as they are held by Enterprises or its permitted transferees. Additionally, because the Private Units were issued in a private transaction, our Sponsor and its 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, Enterprises 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 relating to the IPO) until the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. Enterprises was granted certain demand and piggyback registration rights in connection with the Private Units.

The underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full and, on April 4, 2019, the underwriters purchased 750,000 over-allotment option Units, which were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $7,500,000. On April 4, 2019, simultaneously with the sale of the over-allotment Units, the Company consummated the private sale of an additional 18,750 Private Units to Enterprises, generating gross proceeds of $187,500.

A total of $57,500,000 of the net proceeds from the sale of Units in the IPO (including the over-allotment option Units) and the private placements on April 1, 2019 and April 4, 2019 were placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders at JPMorgan Chase Bank maintained by Wilmington Trust Company, acting as trustee. None of the funds held in trust will be released from the trust account, other than interest income to pay any tax obligations, until the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination and (ii) the Company’s failure to consummate a business combination by September 30, 2020.

Business Combination Agreement

On July 9, 2019, 8i entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Diginex Limited, a Hong Kong company (“Diginex”), the shareholders of Diginex (the “Sellers”) and Pelham Limited, a Hong Kong company, as representative of the Sellers (the “Representative”). Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Sellers agreed to sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to 8i all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Diginex owned by the Sellers in exchange for the issuance to the Sellers of an aggregate of 20,000,000 ordinary shares, no par value, of 8i (the “Share Exchange”).

On October 8, 2019, each of the parties to the Share Exchange Agreement entered into an amendment and joinder to the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Diginex Limited, a Singapore public company limited by shares (formerly known as Digital Innovative Limited) (“Singapore NewCo”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary DIGITAL INNOVATIVE LIMITED, a British Virgin Islands business company (“BVI NewCo”), for the purpose of joining both entities as parties to the Share Exchange Agreement. The Amendment reflects that prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange, BVI NewCo will merge with and into 8i (the “Reincorporation Merger”, and together with the “Share Exchange,” the “Business Combination”), and 8i will be the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Singapore NewCo pursuant to a merger agreement by and among Singapore NewCo, BVI NewCo and 8i (the “Merger Agreement”) and a plan of merger by and among 8i and BVI NewCo (the “Plan of Merger”). At the closing of the Reincorporation Merger, Singapore NewCo will issue ordinary shares, with no par value (the “Singapore NewCo Ordinary Shares”), and warrants to 8i’s shareholders (the “Singapore NewCo Warrants”), as set forth in the Merger Agreement. The Amendment also provides, among other things, (i) that Singapore NewCo Ordinary Shares will be issued to the Sellers in the Share Exchange in lieu of 8i ordinary shares, (ii) that references to the proxy statement in the Share Exchange Agreement are replaced with references to this proxy statement/prospectus, and (iii) that references to the Purchaser and its obligations (x) post-closing, (y) with respect to Nasdaq matters, and (z) for directors’ and officers’ indemnification and liability insurance in the Share Exchange Agreement, are replaced with Singapore NewCo. The “Closing Date” shall mean the date on which the Business Combination is consummated.

On January 28, 2020, each of the parties to the Amendment entered into a second amendment to the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), for the purpose of increasing the size of Diginex’s permitted pre-Closing Date private placement of its ordinary shares from $30 million to $50 million.

On May 6, 2020, each of the parties to the Second Amendment entered into a third amendment to the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Third Amendment”) to, among other things, (a) extend the outside closing date of the Share Exchange to June 23, 2020, (b) increase the number of Singapore NewCo Ordinary Shares issuable to the Sellers in the Share Exchange from 20,000,000 to 25,000,000, (c) increase the number of shares the Sellers are entitled to receive if the closing price of the Singapore NewCo Ordinary Shares satisfy certain thresholds (the “Earnout Shares”) from an aggregate of 5,000,000 to 12,000,000, adjust closing price targets and to increase the milestone dates by which the Earnout Shares could be issued from three years to four years after the anniversary of the Closing Date; (d) increase the number of options to purchase Singapore NewCo Ordinary Shares received upon cancellation of the outstanding options to purchase ordinary shares under Diginex’s existing incentive plan from 4,200,000 to 5,600,000, and (e) allow 8i to issue up to 1,000,000 Singapore NewCo Ordinary Shares to third party advisors or consultants to (i) assist 8i with maintaining funds of at least $15,000,000 in the trust account after giving effect to all 8i ordinary share redemptions, but prior to taking into account 8i’s liabilities for any fees and costs relating to the transactions contemplated by the Amended Share Exchange Agreement, or (ii) provide market making services to Diginex after the Closing.

The Third Amendment includes new covenants of the parties prior to the Closing Date, such as (a) 8i shall convert all outstanding promissory notes issued in favor of 8i Enterprises Pte. Ltd. into 8i private units as of the Closing Date (the “Sponsor Loan Conversion”), (b) 8i shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Chardan Capital LLC (“Chardan”) to agree to convert, effective as of the Closing Date, deferred underwriting compensation in the amount of $1,725,000 owed to Chardan and any additional fees to be paid by 8i to Chardan upon the consummation of the Closing into Singapore NewCo Ordinary Shares at $10.00 per share, which shares will be subject to a lock-up agreement restricting any transfer thereof for a period of no less than six months after Closing, (c) Diginex will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause one of its service providers to enter into a lock-up agreement in connection with receipt of Singapore NewCo Ordinary Shares that such service provider will receive on the Closing Date for a period of no less than six months after the Closing Date, and (d) each of 8i and Diginex will use best efforts to assist the other party to fulfill the new covenants relating to (i) 8i maintaining $15,000,000 in the trust account as of the Closing Date after giving effect to 8i’s ordinary share redemptions, but prior to taking into account 8i’s liabilities for any fees and costs relating to the transactions contemplated by the Amended Share Exchange Agreement, and (ii) Diginex raising at least $15,000,000 through the issuance of new ordinary shares to be completed no later than the Closing (the “Subsequent Diginex Equity Private Placement”). The failure to comply with the covenants described in clause (d) of this paragraph will not constitute a material breach of the Amended Share Exchange Agreement for the purposes of fulfilling certain closing conditions of parties, or with respect to the indemnification or termination provisions set forth in the Amended Share Exchange Agreement. In the event the respective covenants that are the subject matter of clause (d) of this paragraph are not fulfilled, or, (i) if the market value of the unrestricted publicly held 8i ordinary shares (as calculated under the rules of The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”)) that are outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing Date (after giving effect to the 8i ordinary share redemptions), and (ii) the combined stockholders equity of 8i and Diginex (after giving effect to the 8i ordinary share redemptions, the Share Exchange and the transactions contemplated thereby), fail to satisfy Nasdaq listing requirements ((i) and (ii), collectively, the “Nasdaq Requirements”), the parties have agreed to negotiate in good faith to reach a mutually agreeable resolution with respect thereto. However, if they are unable to reach an agreement, such failure will not be a material breach on the part of any party that elects to terminate the Amended Share Exchange Agreement because the transactions contemplated thereunder did not occur prior to June 23, 2020, the outside closing date.

The Third Amendment includes new covenants of Diginex that (a) without 8i’s prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Diginex and its affiliates will not, directly or indirectly, or through any other person (including, its directors, officers and agents) engage with or contact, for the purpose of making an investment into Diginex or any of its affiliates, any potential investor actually introduced to Diginex or its affiliates by 8i or its affiliates during the period commencing on April 27, 2020 and ending on the earlier of the Closing Date and termination of the Amended Share Exchange Agreement, and who have not previously (i) had any direct or indirect business or investment relationship with Diginex or its affiliates or (ii) engaged in any discussions with or contacted or been contacted by, directly or indirectly, or through any other person (including, its directors, officers and agents), Diginex or the Diginex’s affiliates, advisors or representatives regarding a potential business or investment relationship, until the Closing Date, or in the event the Amended Share Exchange Agreement is terminated, for a period of 12 months after the termination, and (b) without 8i’s prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) Diginex will not use any proceeds of the Subsequent Diginex Private Placement, up to $15,000,000, for any purpose other than its operating expenses and capital expenditures.

The Third Amendment includes new covenants of all parties that, (a) 8i will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause one of its service providers to enter into a lock-up agreement in connection with receipt of Singapore NewCo Ordinary Shares that such service provider will receive for a period of no less than six months after the Closing Date, (b) 8i will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the balance of the trust account after giving effect to 8i’s ordinary share redemptions, but prior to taking into account 8i’s liabilities for any fees and costs relating to the transactions contemplated by the Amended Share Exchange Agreement, to be an amount greater than or equal to $15,000,000, (c) prior to the Closing Date, Diginex will use its commercially reasonable efforts to raise at least $15,000,000 through the Subsequent Diginex Private Placement, and (d) 8i and Diginex will use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the Nasdaq Requirements.

The Third Amendment includes new conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the Share Exchange, such as (i) the balance of the trust account will be an amount greater than or equal to $15,000,000 after giving effect to 8i’s ordinary share redemptions, but prior to taking into account 8i’s liabilities for any fees and costs relating to the Share Exchange, and (ii) during the period commencing on April 24, 2020 and ending on the Closing Date, Diginex will raise at least $15,000,000 through the Subsequent Diginex Private Placement. As a new condition to Diginex’s obligation to consummate the Share Exchange, 8i will deliver to Diginex evidence of the Sponsor Loan Conversion. The existing condition to consummate the Share Exchange that 8i receives executed copies of lock-up agreements from all of the Diginex shareholders has been revised, so that in Diginex’s sole discretion up to 5,000,000 of the Singapore NewCo Ordinary Shares issued in the Subsequent Diginex Private Placement may be issued without being subject to the restrictions in the lock-up agreement.

The Third Amendment provides Diginex the right, at its sole option, to terminate the Amended Share Exchange Agreement if the Nasdaq Requirements are not met, or if after giving effect to the 8i ordinary share redemptions, the Share Exchange and the transactions contemplated thereby, 8i fails to comply with the net tangible assets requirements set forth in its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Of the 25,000,000 Singapore NewCo Ordinary Shares issuable to the Sellers in the Share Exchange, 2,000,000 Singapore NewCo Ordinary Shares (which will not be fully paid at issuance) will be deposited into an escrow account for a period of twelve months (the “Escrow Period”) to satisfy any potential indemnification claims against Sellers brought pursuant to the Amended Share Exchange Agreement (the “Escrow Shares”). At the closing of the Share Exchange, each option to purchase ordinary shares of Diginex (the “Diginex Options”) outstanding under Diginex’s existing incentive plan, whether vested or unvested, will be cancelled and the holders of the Diginex Options will receive options to acquire an aggregate of 5,600,000 Singapore NewCo Ordinary Shares (the “Singapore NewCo Options”) in exchange for such cancellation. The Singapore NewCo Options may not be transferred, assigned or sold for a period of fifteen (15) months following the consummation of the Business Combination. Each Singapore NewCo Option will, without any requirement for payment, automatically convert into one (1) Singapore NewCo Ordinary Share, which Singapore NewCo Ordinary Shares shall be issued to each holder of a Singapore NewCo Option as follows: (a) one-third (1/3) on the date that is fifteen (15) months after the Closing Date, (b) one-third (1/3) on the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, and (c) one-third (1/3) on the date that is twenty-one (21) months after the Closing Date, in the case of each of (a), (b) and (c), rounded to the nearest Singapore NewCo Ordinary Share, subject to certain limitations set forth herein. The Singapore NewCo Options to be issued in the Share Exchange will be separate from and in addition to any options or other awards issued or issuable under the Digital Innovative Limited 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”).

The Sellers will be entitled to receive up to an additional 12,000,000 Earnout Shares after the closing of the Business Combination if the closing price of Singapore NewCo Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq (or any other applicable securities exchange) is equal to or greater than the stock prices set forth below during any five trading days out of any 30 trading day period (the “Trading Period”) following the closing of the Business Combination until the applicable milestone date: (1) 3,000,000 Earnout Shares if the closing price is USD$15.00 during any Trading Period ending on or before the first anniversary of the Closing Date; (2) 3,000,000 Earnout Shares if the closing price is USD$20.00 during any Trading Period ending on or before the second anniversary of the Closing Date; (3) 3,000,000 Earnout Shares if the closing price is USD$25.00 during any Trading Period ending on or before the third anniversary of the Closing Date; and (4) 3,000,000 Earnout Shares if the closing price is USD$30.00 during any Trading Period ending on or before fourth anniversary of the Closing Date. All share and per share amounts above shall be proportionally adjusted for share splits, dividends, and similar events.

On June 24, 2020, each of the parties to the Third Amendment entered into a fourth amendment to the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment,” and together with the Share Exchange Agreement, the Amendment, the Second Amendment and the Third Amendment, the “Amended Share Exchange Agreement”) to, among other things, (a) extend the outside Closing Date of the Business Combination to September 28, 2020 and (b) agree to hold the Meeting no later than September 15, 2020.

The Fourth Amendment includes new covenants that all of the parties will, (i) take all steps required to extend the time available to consummate the Business Combination for an additional three months to September 30, 2020, including, sharing payment of the extension fees payable to the 8i trust account in the amount of $575,000, (ii) use their commercially reasonable efforts to hold the Meeting no later than September 15, 2020 and hold the closing of the Business Combination no later than September 28, 2020, and (iii) use their commercially reasonable efforts to have 6,411,100 of the Singapore NewCo Ordinary Shares issuable, in the aggregate, to various parties pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement be freely tradeable from the day immediately following the Closing Date.

In connection with the Business Combination, we filed and will file relevant materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including a proxy statement on Schedule 14A. Promptly after filing our definitive proxy statement with the SEC, we mailed the definitive proxy statement and a proxy card to each stockholder entitled to vote at the special meeting relating to the acquisition. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS OF 8i ARE URGED TO READ THESE MATERIALS (INCLUDING ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS THERETO) AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE ACQUISITION THAT 8i WILL FILE WITH THE SEC WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT 8i, DIGINEX AND THE ACQUISITION. The preliminary proxy statement, the definitive proxy statement and other relevant materials in connection with the acquisition, and any other documents filed by us with the SEC, may be obtained free of charge at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov) or by writing to us at 6 Eu Tong Sen Street, #08-13 The Central, Singapore 059817.

Recent Developments

On each of July 2, 2019, July 23, 2019, September 25, 2019, October 15, 2019, January 7, 2020, February 3, 2020, March 3, 2020, March 26, 2020, May 11, 2020, June 24, 2020, July 24, 2020, August 3, 2020 and September 4, 2020, 8i issued the Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $200,000, $100,000, $150,000, $200,000, $70,000, $60,000, $100,000, $575,000, $16,000, $287,500, $132,000, $50,000 and $280,000, respectively (the “Notes”), to 8i Enterprises Pte Ltd, an entity controlled by 8i’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“Enterprises”). Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, the Notes do not bear interest and mature upon closing of a business combination by the Company. Each Note is convertible at Enterprises’ option upon providing written notice of such conversion at least one business day prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, into Private Units consisting of one ordinary share, one redeemable warrant to acquire one-half of one ordinary share (which entitles the holder thereof to purchase one-half of one ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per full share), and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of an ordinary share upon the consummation of an initial business combination (which securities have terms equivalent to the terms of the private placement securities issued in connection with the Company’s IPO) at a price of $10.00 per share at the closing of a business combination. Initially up to $500,000 of the outstanding Notes were convertible into Private Units. However, in order to comply with 8i’s obligations under the Third Amendment to convert all of the Notes, 8i’s Board authorized and approved the conversion of Notes in excess of $500,000 to such amount as necessary to fulfill 8i’s obligations but not exceeding $3,000,000. Enterprises has provided 8i with written notice to convert the Notes into 175,850 Private Units immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination.

On March 3, 2020 and June 24, 2020, 8i issued unsecured promissory notes to Diginex in the aggregate principal amount of up to $387,500 (the “Diginex Notes”). The Diginex Notes do not bear interest and mature upon closing of a business combination by the Company. The proceeds of the Diginex Notes will be used for the Company’s share of the cost arising from an additional services agreement with Chardan and for the cost of extending the combination period by an additional 3 months (until the end of September 2020).

Competitive Advantages

We believe our specific competitive strengths to be the following:

Status as a Publicly Listed Company

We believe our structure will make us an attractive business combination partner to prospective target businesses. As a publicly listed company, we will offer a target business an alternative to the traditional initial public offering. We believe that target businesses will favor this alternative, which we believe is less expensive, while offering greater certainty of execution than the traditional initial public offering. During an initial public offering, there are typically expenses incurred in marketing, which would be costlier than a business combination with us. Furthermore, once a proposed business combination is approved by our shareholders (if applicable) and the transaction is consummated, the target business will have effectively become public, whereas an initial public offering is always subject to the underwriters’ ability to complete the offering, as well as general market conditions that could prevent the offering from occurring. Once public, we believe the target business would have greater access to capital and additional means of creating management incentives that are better aligned with shareholders’ interests than it would as a private company. It can offer further benefits by augmenting a company’s profile among potential new customers and vendors and aid in attracting talented management staffs.

Strong Financial Position and Flexibility

With the funds held in our trust account, we can offer a target business a variety of options to facilitate a business combination and fund future expansion and growth of its business. Because we are able to consummate a business combination using the cash proceeds from the IPO or debt, we have the flexibility to use an efficient structure allowing us to tailor the consideration to be paid to the target business to address the needs of the parties. However, if a business combination requires us to use substantially all of our cash to pay for the purchase price, we may need to arrange third party financing to help fund our business combination. We have currently not taken any steps to secure third party financing.

Competitive Weaknesses

We believe our competitive weaknesses to be the following:

Limited Financial Resources

Our financial reserves will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of venture capital firms, leveraged buyout firms and operating businesses competing for acquisitions. In addition, our financial resources could be reduced because of our obligation to convert shares held by our public shareholders as well as any tender offer we conduct (subject to our being required to maintain net tangible assets in the trust account of no less than $5,000,0001). In the event that we did not have enough funds available to us to complete a business combination, we might be required to seek additional financing in order to complete a business combination.

Lack of experience with blank check companies

Our management team is not experienced in pursuing business combinations on behalf of blank check companies. Other blank check companies may be sponsored and managed by individuals with prior experience in completing business combinations between blank check companies and target businesses. Our management’s lack of experience may not be viewed favorably by target businesses.

Limited technical and human resources

As a blank check company, we have limited technical and human resources. Many venture capital funds, leveraged buyout firms and operating businesses possess greater technical and human resources than we do and thus we may be at a disadvantage when competing with them for target businesses.

Delay associated with shareholder approval or tender offer

We may be required to seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination. If we are not required to obtain shareholder approval of an initial business combination, we will allow our shareholders to sell their shares to us pursuant to a tender offer. Both seeking shareholder approval and conducting a tender offer will delay the consummation of our initial business combination. Other companies competing with us for acquisition opportunities may not be subject to similar requirement, or may be able to satisfy such requirements more quickly than we can. As a result, we may be at a disadvantage in competing for these opportunities.

Inability to find suitable target companies

We may not be able to find a target that meets our selection investment criteria. Even though we have broad discretion to acquire a company that falls outside of our selection criteria, such a target may be less desirable than one that falls within our selection criteria.

Acquisition Strategy

Our acquisition strategy is to identify, acquire and, after our initial business combination, to build a public company. Our selection process will leverage our team’s network of industry, private equity and lending community relationships as well as relationship with management teams of public and private companies, investment bankers, attorneys and accountants, which we believe should provide us with a number of business combination opportunities. We intend to deploy a pro-active, thematic sourcing strategy and to focus on companies where we believe the combination of our relationships, capital and capital markets expertise and operating experience of James Tan, can help accelerate the target business’ growth and performance.

Investment Criteria

The focus of our management team is to create shareholder value by leveraging its experience to improve the efficiency of the business while implementing strategies to grow revenue and profits organically and/or through acquisitions. Consistent with our strategy, we have identified the following general criteria and guidelines that we believe are important in evaluating prospective target businesses. While we intend to use these criteria and guidelines in evaluating prospective businesses, we may deviate from these criteria and guidelines should we see fit to do so:

●	Growth Potential

As a result of the Asia region’s strong growth over the past several decades, the region has become home to a large number of small domestic and regional companies, which are serving the ever-increasing needs of economies locally. While such companies have performed relatively well, the vast majority of these companies suffer from a lack of insightful strategy, insufficient capital, operational inefficiencies and various succession issues (as many companies are first-generation and family-owned). This has also resulted in high degree of market fragmentation, without any established regional market leaders. We will seek target businesses for which we can provide strategic advice, access to sufficient capital and effective operational expertise, to grow the business.

●	Long-term Revenue Visibility with Defensible Market Position

We intend to seek target companies that are at an inflection point, such as those requiring additional management expertise, are able to innovate by developing new products or services, or where we believe we can drive improved financial performance and where an acquisition may help facilitate growth.

●	Benefits from Being a U.S. Public Company (Value Creation and Marketing Opportunities)

We intend to seek target companies that should offer attractive risk-adjusted equity returns for our shareholders. We intend to seek to acquire a target on terms and in a manner that leverages our experience. We expect to evaluate financial returns based on (i) the potential for organic growth in cash flows, (ii) the ability to achieve cost savings, (iii) the ability to accelerate growth, including through the opportunity for follow-on acquisitions and (iv) the prospects for creating value through other value creation initiatives. Potential upside from growth in the target business’ earnings and an improved capital structure will be weighed against any identified downside risks.

●	Potential Benefit from Globalization Trends and Possession of Competitive Advantages

Target companies exhibit unrecognized value or other characteristics that we believe have been misevaluated by the marketplace based on our company specific analysis and due diligence review. For a potential target company, this process will include, among other things, a review and analysis of the company’s capital structure, quality of earnings, potential for operational improvements, corporate governance, customers, material contracts, and industry background and trends. We intend to leverage the operational experience and disciplined investment approach of our team to identify opportunities to unlock value that our experience in complex situations allows us to pursue.

These criteria are not intended to be exhaustive. Any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular initial business combination may be based, to the extent relevant, on these general guidelines as well as other considerations, factors and criteria that our management may deem relevant.

We will either (1) seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination at a meeting called for such purpose at which public shareholders may seek to convert their public shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposed business combination, into their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account (net of taxes payable) or (2) provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to sell their public shares to us by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a shareholder vote) for an amount equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account (net of taxes payable), in each case subject to the limitations described herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, our initial shareholders have agreed, pursuant to written letter agreements with us, not to convert any public shares held by them into their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account. The decision as to whether we will seek shareholder approval of our proposed business combination or allow shareholders to sell their shares to us in a tender offer will be made by us, solely in our discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require us to seek shareholder approval. If we so choose and we are legally permitted to do so, we will have the flexibility to avoid a shareholder vote and allow our shareholders to sell their shares pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. In that case, we will file tender offer documents with the SEC which will contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial business combination as is required under the SEC’s proxy rules. We will consummate our initial business combination only if we have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation and, solely if we seek shareholder approval, a majority of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares voted are voted in favor of the business combination.

We will have until September 30, 2020 to consummate our initial business combination. On March 26, 2020, 8i extended the time it has to complete an initial business combination for an additional three months from April 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020, by depositing $575,000 into the trust account for the benefit of its public stockholders. Subsequently, on June 24, 2020, 8i extended the time it has to complete an initial business combination for an additional three months from July 1, 2020 to September 30, 2020 (the “Second Extension Deadline”), by depositing $575,000 into the trust account for the benefit of its public stockholders. If 8i does not consummate the Business Combination and fails to complete an initial business combination by September 30, 2020, 8i will be required to dissolve and liquidate. In exchange for these deposits, the insiders received a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note equal to the amount of the deposits that will not be repaid in the event that we are unable to close a business combination unless there are funds available outside the trust account to do so. Such notes will either be paid upon consummation of our initial business combination, or, at the relevant insider’s discretion, converted upon consummation of our business combination into additional private units at a price of $10.00 per unit. Our shareholders have approved the issuance of the private units upon conversion of such notes, to the extent the holder wishes to so convert such notes at the time of the consummation of our initial business combination. Our insiders and their affiliates or designees were not obligated to fund the trust account to extend the time for us to complete our initial business combination. If we are unable to consummate our initial business combination within the aforementioned time period, we will, as promptly as possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem or purchase 100% of our outstanding public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account, including a pro rata portion of any interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us or necessary to pay our taxes, and then seek to liquidate and dissolve. However, we may not be able to distribute such amounts as a result of claims of creditors which may take priority over the claims of our public shareholders. In the event of our dissolution and liquidation, the public rights will expire and will be worthless.

If we are unable to consummate our initial business combination within this time period, we will liquidate the trust account and distribute the proceeds held therein to our public shareholders and dissolve. If we are forced to liquidate, we anticipate that we would distribute to our public shareholders the amount in the trust account calculated as of the date that is two days prior to the distribution date (including any accrued interest). Prior to such distribution, we would be required to assess all claims that may be potentially brought against us by our creditors for amounts they are actually owed and make provision for such amounts, as creditors take priority over our public shareholders with respect to amounts that are owed to them. We cannot assure you that we will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against us. As such, our shareholders could potentially be liable for any claims of creditors to the extent of distributions received by them as an unlawful payment in the event we enter an insolvent liquidation.

Pursuant to the Nasdaq listing rules, our initial business combination must be with a target business or businesses whose collective fair market value is at least equal to 80% of the balance in the trust account (excluding any deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the trust account) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for such business combination, although this may entail simultaneous acquisitions of several target businesses. The fair market value of the target will be determined by our board of directors based upon one or more standards generally accepted by the financial community (such as actual and potential sales, earnings, cash flow and/or book value). Our board of directors will have broad discretion in choosing the standard used to establish the fair market value of any prospective target business. The target business or businesses that we acquire may have a collective fair market value substantially in excess of 80% of the trust account balance.

We are not required to obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated third party that the target business we select has a fair market value in excess of at least 80% of the balance of the trust account unless our board of directors cannot make such determination on its own. We are also not required to obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated third party indicating that the price we are paying is fair to our shareholders from a financial point of view unless the target is affiliated with our officers, directors, initial shareholders or their affiliates.

We currently anticipate structuring our initial business combination to acquire 100% of the equity interests or assets of the target business or businesses. We may, however, structure our initial business combination where we merge directly with the target business or where we acquire less than 100% of such interests or assets of the target business in order to meet certain objectives of the target management team or shareholders or for other reasons, but we will only complete such business combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act. Even if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the voting securities of the target, our shareholders prior to the business combination may collectively own a minority interest in the post-transaction company, depending on valuations ascribed to the target and us in the business combination transaction. For example, we could pursue a transaction in which we issue a substantial number of new shares in exchange for all of the outstanding capital stock of a target. In this case, we could acquire a 100% controlling interest in the target; however, as a result of the issuance of a substantial number of new shares, our shareholders immediately prior to our initial business combination could own less than a majority of our issued and outstanding shares subsequent to our initial business combination. If less than 100% of the equity interests or assets of a target business or businesses are owned or acquired by the post-transaction company, only the portion of such business or businesses that is owned or acquired is what will be valued for purposes of the 80% fair market value test.

Management Operating and Investment Experience

We believe that our executive officers possess the experience, skills and contacts necessary to source, evaluate, and execute an attractive business combination. See the section titled “Management” for complete information on the experience of our officers and directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, our officers and directors are not required to commit their full time to our affairs and will allocate their time to other businesses. We presently expect each of our employees to devote such amount of time as they reasonably believe is necessary to our business (which could range from only a few hours a week while we are trying to locate a potential target business to a majority of their time as we move into serious negotiations with a target business for a business combination). The past successes of our executive officers and directors do not guarantee that we will successfully consummate an initial business combination.

As more fully discussed in “Conflicts of Interest,” if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity that falls within the line of business of any entity to which he has pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligations, he may be required to present such business combination opportunity to such entity, subject to his or her fiduciary duties under British Virgin Islands law, prior to presenting such business combination opportunity to us. Most of our officers and directors currently have certain pre-existing fiduciary duties or contractual obligations.

Emerging Growth Company Status and Other Information

We are an emerging growth company as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (which we refer to herein as the JOBS Act). As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised, and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statement with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the date of the IPO, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our Ordinary Shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three year period.

We are currently a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 405, but are voluntarily choosing to register and report using domestic forms. We are required to determine our status as a foreign private issuer for the 2018 fiscal year as of the last day of our second quarter, or June 30. On such date, if we no longer qualify as a “foreign private issuer” (as set forth in Rule 3b-4 of the Exchange Act), we will then become subject to the U.S. domestic issuer rules as of the first day of our 2019 fiscal year, or January 1, 2019.

Competition

In identifying, evaluating and selecting a target business, we may encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Many of these competitors possess greater technical, human and other resources than us and our financial resources will be relatively limited when contrasted with those of many of these competitors. While we believe there may be numerous potential target businesses that we could acquire with the net proceeds of the IPO, our ability to compete in acquiring certain sizable target businesses may be limited by our available financial resources.

The following also may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses:

	●	our obligation to seek shareholder approval of a business combination or obtain the necessary financial information to be sent to shareholders in connection with such business combination may delay or prevent the completion of a transaction;

	●	our obligation to convert public shares held by our public shareholders may reduce the resources available to us for a business combination;

	●	Nasdaq may require us to file a new listing application and meet its initial listing requirements to maintain the listing of our securities following a business combination;

	●	our outstanding warrants, rights and unit purchase options and the potential future dilution they represent;

	●	our obligation to pay the deferred underwriting discounts and commissions to Chardan Capital Markets, LLC upon consummation of our initial business combination;

	●	our obligation to either repay or issue units upon conversion of up to $500,000 of working capital loans that may be made to us by our initial shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates;

	●	our obligation to register the resale of the insider shares, as well as the private units (and underlying securities) and any securities issued to our initial shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates upon conversion of working capital loans; and

	●	the impact on the target business’ assets as a result of unknown liabilities under the securities laws or otherwise depending on developments involving us prior to the consummation of a business combination.

Any of these factors may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating a business combination. Our management believes, however, that our status as a public entity and potential access to the United States public equity markets may give us a competitive advantage over privately-held entities having a similar business objective as ours in acquiring a target business with significant growth potential on favorable terms.

If we succeed in effecting a business combination, there will be, in all likelihood, intense competition from competitors of the target business. We cannot assure you that, subsequent to a business combination, we will have the resources or ability to compete effectively.

Employees

We have two executive officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters and intend to devote only as much time as they deem necessary to our affairs. The amount of time they will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for the business combination and the stage of the business combination process the company is in. Accordingly, once management locates a suitable target business to acquire, they will spend more time investigating such target business and negotiating and processing the business combination (and consequently spend more time to our affairs) than they would prior to locating a suitable target business. We presently expect our executive officers to devote such amount of time as they reasonably believe is necessary to our business (which could range from only a few hours a week while we are trying to locate a potential target business to a majority of their time as we move into serious negotiations with a target business for a business combination). We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the consummation of a business combination.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Our units began to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, under the symbol “JFKKU” on April 2, 2019. The ordinary shares, warrants and rights comprising the units began separate trading on Nasdaq on May 16, 2019, under the symbols “JFK”, “JFKKW” and “JFKKR”, respectively.

Holders of Record

As of September 10, 2020, there were 7,427,500 of our ordinary shares issued and outstanding held by 3 shareholders of record. The number of record holders was determined from the records of our transfer agent and does not include beneficial owners of ordinary shares whose shares are held in the names of various security brokers, dealers, and registered clearing agencies.

Dividends

We have not paid any cash dividends on our ordinary shares to date and do not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the completion of an initial business combination. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of a business combination and subject to our satisfaction of the applicable solvency test under the British Virgin Islands Business Companies Act, 2004 (as amended). The payment of any dividends subsequent to a business combination will be within the discretion of our board of directors at such time. It is the present intention of our board of directors to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our business operations and, accordingly, our board of directors does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future. In addition, our board of directors is not currently contemplating and does not anticipate declaring any share dividends in the foreseeable future. Further, if we incur any indebtedness, our ability to declare dividends may be limited by restrictive covenants we may agree to in connection therewith.

Use of Proceeds

On April 1, 2019, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, we consummated a private placement with Enterprises of 221,250 Private Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $2,212,500. The underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full and, on April 4, 2019, the underwriters purchased 750,000 over-allotment option Units, which were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $7,500,000. On April 4, 2019, simultaneously with the sale of the over-allotment Units, the Company consummated the private sale of an additional 18,750 Private Units to Enterprises, generating gross proceeds of $187,500.

The Private Units are identical to the Units sold in the IPO, except that the warrants underlying the Private Units (i) may be exercised on a cashless basis at the holder’s option and (ii) will not be redeemable by the Company, in each case as long as they are held by our Sponsor or its permitted transferees. Additionally, because the Private Units were issued in a private transaction, Enterprises and its 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, Enterprises 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 relating to the IPO) until the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. Enterprises was granted certain demand and piggyback registration rights in connection with the Private Units.

Upon the closing of the above transactions, a total of $57,500,000 of the net proceeds from the sale of Units in the IPO (including the over-allotment option Units) and the private placements on April 1, 2019 and April 4, 2019 were placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders at JPMorgan Chase Bank maintained by Wilmington Trust Company, acting as trustee. As of July 31, 2020, cash and cash equivalents held in trust totaled $59,246,412.

We paid a total of $3,162,500 in underwriting discounts and commissions (which includes $1,725,000 deposited in the trust account which will only be payable to the underwriters at the closing of a business combination) and $676,099 for other costs and expenses related to the IPO.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to make disclosures under this Item.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Overview

We were formed on November 24, 2017 as a blank check company for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination, with one or more target businesses. Our efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to any particular industry or geographic location, although we intend to focus on targets located in Asia.

We presently have no revenue, have had losses since inception from incurring formation costs and have had no operations other than the active solicitation of a target business with which to complete a business combination. We have relied upon the sale of our securities and loans from our officers and directors to fund our operations.

On April 1, 2019, we consummated our IPO of 5,000,000 Units. Each Unit consists of one Ordinary Share, one-half of a redeemable Public Warrant and one Right to receive 1/10 of an Ordinary Share upon the consummation of our initial business combination. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $50,000,000. The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 750,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On April 1, 2019, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, we consummated a private placement with Enterprises of 221,250 Private Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $2,212,500. The underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full and, on April 4, 2019, the underwriters purchased 750,000 over-allotment option Units, which were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $7,500,000. On April 4, 2019, simultaneously with the sale of the over-allotment Units, the Company consummated the private sale of an additional 18,750 Private Units to Enterprises, generating gross proceeds of $187,500.

As of April 4, 2019, a total of $57,500,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO (including the exercise of the over-allotment option) and the Private Placements were in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders.

Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of IPO and the Private Placements, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally towards consummating a business combination.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity from inception up to April 1, 2019 was related to the Company’s formation, the IPO and general and administrative activities. Since the IPO, our activity has been limited to the evaluation of business combination candidates, and we will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our initial business combination. We expect to generate small amounts of non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents. Interest income is not expected to be significant in view of current low interest rates on risk-free investments (treasury securities). We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses. We expect our expenses to increase substantially after this period.

For the year ended July 31, 2020, we had a net loss of $843,899. During the year ended July 31, 2020, we incurred $1,352,149 of Formation and operating costs (not charged against shareholders’ equity), consisting mostly of general and administrative expenses, and we recorded $508,250 of interest income from investments in our Trust Account.

For the year ended July 31, 2019, we had a net loss of $376,548. During the year ended July 31, 2019, we incurred $464,771 of Formation and operating costs (not charged against shareholders’ equity), consisting mostly of general and administrative expenses, and we recorded $88,223 of interest income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of July 31, 2020, we had cash outside our trust account of $5,382, available for working capital needs. All remaining cash was held in the trust account and is generally unavailable for our use, prior to an initial business combination.

Our liquidity needs have been satisfied to date through receipt of $25,000 from the sale of the insider shares and loans from insiders in an aggregate amount of $2,217,601, of which $326,185 were repaid upon our IPO and not outstanding as of July 31, 2020, and the remaining net proceeds from our IPO and Private Placements.

On each of July 2, 2019, July 23, 2019, September 25, 2019, October 15, 2019, January 7, 2020, February 3, 2020, March 3, 2020, March 26, 2020, May 11, 2020, June 24, 2020, July 24, 2020, August 3, 2020 and September 4, 2020, 8i issued the Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $200,000, $100,000, $150,000, $200,000, $70,000, $60,000, $100,000, $575,000, $16,000, $287,500, $132,000, $50,000 and $280,000, respectively (the “Notes”), to Enterprises. Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, the Notes do not bear interest and mature upon closing of a business combination by the Company. Each Note is convertible at Enterprises’ option upon providing written notice of such conversion at least one business day prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, into Private Units consisting of one ordinary share, one redeemable warrant to acquire one-half of one ordinary share (which entitles the holder thereof to purchase one-half of one ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per full share), and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of an ordinary share upon the consummation of an initial business combination (which securities have terms equivalent to the terms of the private placement securities issued in connection with the Company’s IPO) at a price of $10.00 per share at the closing of a business combination. Initially up to $500,000 of the outstanding Notes were convertible into Private Units. However, in order to comply with 8i’s obligations under the Third Amendment to convert all of the Notes, 8i’s Board authorized and approved the conversion of Notes in excess of $500,000 to such amount as necessary to fulfill 8i’s obligations but not exceeding $3,000,000. Enterprises has provided 8i with written notice to convert the Notes into 175,850 Private Units immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination.

We intend to use substantially all of the net proceeds of the IPO, including the funds held in the trust account, and any additional funding from our sponsor’s promissory note commitment, to acquire a target business or businesses and to pay our expenses relating thereto, including a cash fee equal to 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the IPO payable to the representative of the underwriters upon consummation of our initial business combination for assisting us in connection with such business combination. To the extent that the proceeds of the IPO are used in whole or in part as consideration to effect our initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the trust account as well as any other net proceeds not expended will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business. Such working capital funds could be used in a variety of ways including continuing or expanding the target business’ operations, for strategic acquisitions and for marketing, research and development of existing or new products. Such funds could also be used to repay any operating expenses or finders’ fees which we had incurred prior to the completion of our initial business combination if the funds available to us outside of the trust account were insufficient to cover such expenses.

We anticipate that the amounts outside of our trust account as of July 31, 2020, combined with the additional funding available from our sponsor’s promissory note commitment, will be sufficient to allow us to operate for at least until September 30, 2020, assuming that a business combination is not consummated during that time. Over this time period, we will be using these funds for identifying and evaluating prospective business combination candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to consummate our initial business combination with and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination.

If our estimates of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating our initial business combination is less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial business combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to consummate our initial business combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon consummation of our initial business combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only consummate such financing simultaneously with the consummation of our initial business combination. Following our initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

As of July 31, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements. We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or entered into any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

At July 31, 2020, we did not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our audited financial information. We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Financial Statements included in this report. Our audited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain of our accounting policies require that management apply significant judgments in defining the appropriate assumptions integral to financial estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Judgments are based on historical experience, terms of existing contracts, industry trends and information available from outside sources, as appropriate. However, by their nature, judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty, and, therefore, actual results could differ from our estimates.

Mr. Liew is fluent in English and Chinese.

Mr. Rajpal was previously an independent director of Moxian, Inc., a US company with a China based internet business listed on NASDAQ. We believe that Mr. Rajpal is qualified to serve as our director because of his experience with publicly traded companies in a number of jurisdictions.

Alexander K. Arrow, MD, CFA has been our director since March 27, 2019. Dr. Arrow has been the Chief Financial Officer of Protagenic Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware company, since November 2015, and the Chief Executive Officer of Zelegent, Inc., a medical technology company that has developed a minimally-invasive tool for otolaryngologist sleep specialists to treat snoring in a simple office-based procedure, since January 2015.

He serves as an independent director on the Boards of medical technology companies Rindex Medical, Inc, and Gel-e, Inc., and a director and acting CEO of Machine Learning start-up company Lab NINE, Inc. We believe that Dr. Arrow is qualified to serve as our director because of his experience in C-level operating roles of medical technology companies in multiple stages of development, corporate governance, finance, and his experience in medical technology equity research.

Our directors and officers will play a key role in identifying, evaluating, and selecting target businesses, and structuring, negotiating and consummating our initial acquisition transaction. Except as described below and under “Conflicts of Interest,” none of these individuals is currently a principal of or affiliated with a public company or blank check company that executed a business plan similar to our business plan. We believe that the skills and experience of these individuals, their collective access to acquisition opportunities and ideas, their contacts, and their transaction expertise should enable them to identify successfully and effect an acquisition transaction, although we cannot assure you that they will, in fact, be able to do so.

Officer and Director Qualifications

Our officers and board of directors are composed of a diverse group of leaders with a wide array of professional roles. In these roles, they have gained experience in core management skills, such as strategic and financial planning, financial reporting, compliance, risk management, and leadership development. Many of our officers and directors also have experience serving on boards of directors and board committees of other companies, and have an understanding of corporate governance practices and trends, which provides an understanding of different business processes, challenges, and strategies. Further, our officers and directors also have other experience that makes them valuable, managing and investing assets or facilitating the consummation of business combinations.

We, along with our officers and directors, believe that the above-mentioned attributes, along with the leadership skills and other experiences of our officers and board members described below, provide us with a diverse range of perspectives and judgment necessary to facilitate our goals of consummating an acquisition transaction.

Board Committees

The Board has a standing audit, nominating and compensation committee. The independent directors oversee director nominations. Each audit committee and compensation committee has a charter, which was filed with the SEC as exhibits to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 on March 4, 2019.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee, which is established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act, engages Company’s independent accountants, reviewing their independence and performance; reviews the Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes and the integrity of its financial statements; the audits of the Company’s financial statements and the appointment, compensation, qualifications, independence and performance of the Company’s independent auditors; the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; and the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee held 4 formal meetings during 2020.

The members of the Audit Committee are Kwong Yeow Liew, Ajay Rajpal, and Alexander Arrow, each of whom is an independent director under NASDAQ’s listing standards. Ajay Rajpal is the Chairperson of the audit committee. The Board has determined that Ajay Rajpal qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Nominating Committee

The Nominating Committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on our Board. Specifically, the Nominating Committee makes recommendations to the Board regarding the size and composition of the Board, establishes procedures for the director nomination process and screens and recommends candidates for election to the Board. On an annual basis, the Nominating Committee recommends for approval by the Board certain desired qualifications and characteristics for board membership. Additionally, the Nominating Committee establishes and administers a periodic assessment procedure relating to the performance of the Board as a whole and its individual members. The Nominating Committee will consider a number of qualifications relating to management and leadership experience, background and integrity and professionalism in evaluating a person’s candidacy for membership on the Board. The Nominating Committee may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from time to time and will also consider the overall experience and makeup of its members to obtain a broad and diverse mix of board members. The nominating committee does not distinguish among nominees recommended by shareholders and other persons. The Nominating Committee held no meetings during 2020.

The members of the Nominating Committee are Kwong Yeow Liew, Ajay Rajpal, and Alexander Arrow, each of whom is an independent director under NASDAQ’s listing standards. Ajay Rajpal is the Chairperson of the Nominating Committee.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee reviews annually the Company’s corporate goals and objectives relevant to the officers’ compensation, evaluates the officers’ performance in light of such goals and objectives, determines and approves the officers’ compensation level based on this evaluation; makes recommendations to the Board regarding approval, disapproval, modification, or termination of existing or proposed employee benefit plans, makes recommendations to the Board with respect to non-CEO and non-CFO compensation and administers the Company’s incentive-compensation plans and equity-based plans. The Compensation Committee has the authority to delegate any of its responsibilities to subcommittees as it may deem appropriate in its sole discretion. The chief executive officer of the Company may not be present during voting or deliberations of the Compensation Committee with respect to his compensation. The Company’s executive officers do not play a role in suggesting their own salaries. Neither the Company nor the Compensation Committee has engaged any compensation consultant who has a role in determining or recommending the amount or form of executive or director compensation. The Compensation Committee held no meetings during 2020.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as indicated above, no compensation of any kind, including finders, consulting or other similar fees, will be paid to any of our existing shareholders, including our directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of a business combination. Accordingly, it is likely that prior to the consummation of an initial business combination, the compensation committee will only be responsible for the review and recommendation of any compensation arrangements to be entered into in connection with such initial business combination.

The members of the Compensation Committee are Kwong Yeow Liew, Ajay Rajpal, and Alexander Arrow, each of whom is an independent director under NASDAQ’s listing standards. Ajay Rajpal is the Chairperson of the Compensation Committee.

Conflicts of Interest

Investors should be aware of the following potential conflicts of interest:

	●	None of our officers and directors is required to commit their full time to our affairs and, accordingly, they may have conflicts of interest in allocating their time among various business activities.

	●	In the course of their other business activities, our officers and directors may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to our company as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. Our management has pre-existing fiduciary duties and contractual obligations and may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented.

	●	Our officers and directors may in the future become affiliated with entities, including other blank check companies, engaged in business activities similar to those intended to be conducted by our company.

	●	The insider shares owned by our officers and directors will be released from escrow only if a business combination is successfully completed and subject to certain other limitations. Additionally, our officers and directors will not receive distributions from the trust account with respect to any of their insider shares if we do not complete a business combination. In addition, our officers and directors may loan funds to us after the IPO and may be owed reimbursement for expenses incurred in connection with certain activities on our behalf which would only be repaid if we complete an initial business combination. For the foregoing reasons, the personal and financial interests of our directors and executive officers may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a target business, completing a business combination in a timely manner and securing the release of their shares.

Under British Virgin Islands law, our directors owe fiduciary duties at both common law and under statute, including:

	●	a duty to act honestly, in good faith and in what they believe to be in our best interests and not for a collateral purpose;

	●	a duty to exercise powers for the purposes for which those powers were conferred and not act in contravention to the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 (as amended) or the memorandum and articles of association of the company; and

	●	a duty not to put themselves in a position in which there is a conflict between their duty to the company and their personal interests.

In addition, when exercising powers or performing duties as a director, the director is required to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonable director would exercise in the same circumstances taking into account, without limitation the nature of the company, the nature of the decision and the position of the director and the nature of the responsibilities undertaken by him. A director need not exhibit in the performance of his duties a greater degree of skill than may reasonably be expected from a person of his knowledge and experience.

As set out above, directors have a duty not to put themselves in a position of conflict and this includes a duty not to engage in self-dealing, or to otherwise benefit as a result of their position. However, in some instances what would otherwise be a breach of this duty can be forgiven and/or authorized in advance by the shareholders provided that there is full disclosure by the directors. This can be done by way of permission granted in the memorandum and articles of association or alternatively by shareholder approval at general meetings. A director shall, forthwith after becoming aware of the fact that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the company, disclose the interest to the board of the company.

Accordingly, as a result of multiple business affiliations, our officers and directors may have similar legal obligations relating to presenting business opportunities meeting the above-listed criteria to multiple entities. In addition, conflicts of interest may arise when our board evaluates a particular business opportunity with respect to the above-listed criteria. We cannot assure you that any of the above mentioned conflicts will be resolved in our favor. Furthermore, most of our officers and directors have pre-existing fiduciary obligations to other businesses of which they are officers or directors. To the extent they identify business opportunities which may be suitable for the entities to which they owe pre-existing fiduciary obligations, our officers and directors will honor those fiduciary obligations. Accordingly, it is possible they may not present opportunities to us that otherwise may be attractive to us unless the entities to which they owe pre-existing fiduciary obligations and any successors to such entities have declined to accept such opportunities.

In order to minimize potential conflicts of interest which may arise from multiple corporate affiliations, each of our officers and directors has contractually agreed, pursuant to a written agreement with us, until the earliest of a business combination, our liquidation or such time as he ceases to be an officer or director, to present to our company for our consideration, prior to presentation to any other entity, any suitable business opportunity which may reasonably be required to be presented to us, subject to any pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligations he might have.

The following table summarizes the current pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligations of our officers and directors.

Meng Dong (James) Tan	8i Holdings Limited Bright Growth Capital Ltd Good Eastern Investment Holdings Ltd 8i Capital Limited	Director & shareholder Director Director & shareholder Director & shareholder	We will have priority over 8i Holdings Limited, Bright Growth Capital Ltd, Good Eastern Investment Holdings Ltd, and 8i Capital Limited.

Guan Hong (William) Yap	Lushwell Pte Ltd Elve Ceramcrete Pte Ltd Southfield Pte ltd Nonstop Pte Ltd	Director & shareholder Shareholder	We will have priority over Lushwell Pte Ltd, Nonstop Pte Ltd, Southfield Pte Ltd, and Elve Ceramcrete Pte Ltd. However, we do not expect them to have a conflict of interest with us because these companies are dormant and are not seeking acquisitions.
	Moxian, Inc	Independent Director	We do not expect a conflict as it is not an executive position. In cases of conflict, we will have priority over Moxian.

Ajay Rajpal	NAS Corporate Services Ltd Brookmans Park Roads Ltd New Trend Lifestyle Group Plc Zibao Metals Recycling Holdings Plc MEC Asian Fund Grand Vision Media Holdings Plc Early Equity Plc Stormont School Cyber Lion Limited Dozens Savings Plc	Director & shareholder Director & shareholder Director Director Director Director Director Director & shareholder Director Director	Although each of the companies listed have a pre-existing fiduciary obligation, we do not expect them to have a conflict of interest because each of these companies are not seeking acquisitions of a size and nature that may lead to a possible conflict. In cases of conflict, they will have priority over us.

Alexander Arrow	Zelegent, Inc., Carlsmed, Inc. Protagenic Therapeutics, Inc	Director & Employee Employee Employee	Zelegent, Inc., Carlsmed, Inc., and Protagenic Therapeutics, Inc. will have priority over us; however, as none of these three companies are acquisition corporations, we anticipate being given the opportunity to review all potential targets of any size of which that our management team becomes aware. Zelegent and Carlsmed are for-profit medical device manufacturers, and Protagenic Therapeutics is a for-profit early-stage biopharmaceutical company.
	Paragonix Technologies, Inc. Lab NINE, Inc. Medcura (previously called Gel-e), Inc. Rindex Medical, Inc.	Director & option holder, Director & shareholder Director & shareholder Director & shareholder	We do not expect them to have a conflict of interest because each of these companies are not seeking acquisitions.

Kwong Yeow Liew			No current pre-existing fiduciary or contractual obligations.

In connection with the vote required for any business combination, all of our existing shareholders, including all of our officers and directors, have agreed to vote their respective insider shares and private shares in favor of any proposed business combination. In addition, they have agreed to waive their respective rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to those ordinary shares acquired by them prior to the IPO. If they purchased ordinary shares in the IPO or in the open market, however, they would be entitled to participate in any liquidation distribution in respect of such shares but have agreed not to convert such shares (or sell their shares in any tender offer) in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination or an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association relating to pre-business combination activity.

All ongoing and future transactions between us and any of our officers and directors or their respective affiliates will be on terms believed by us to be no less favorable to us than are available from unaffiliated third parties. Such transactions will require prior approval by our audit committee and a majority of our uninterested “independent” directors, or the members of our board who do not have an interest in the transaction, in either case who had access, at our expense, to our attorneys or independent legal counsel. We will not enter into any such transaction unless our audit committee and a majority of our disinterested “independent” directors determine that the terms of such transaction are no less favorable to us than those that would be available to us with respect to such a transaction from unaffiliated third parties.

To further minimize conflicts of interest, we have agreed not to consummate our initial business combination with an entity that is affiliated with any of our officers, directors or initial shareholders, unless we have obtained (i) an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that the business combination is fair to our unaffiliated shareholders from a financial point of view and (ii) the approval of a majority of our disinterested and independent directors (if we have any at that time). Furthermore, in no event will any of our initial shareholders, officers, directors, special advisors or their respective affiliates be paid any finder’s fee, consulting fee or other similar compensation prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of our initial business combination.

Code of Ethics

We adopted a code of conduct and ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. The code of ethics codifies the business and ethical principles that govern all aspects of our business.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, requires our executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our ordinary shares and other equity securities. These executive officers, directors, and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms filed by such reporting persons.

Based solely on our review of such forms furnished to us and written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that all filing requirements applicable to our executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were filed in a timely manner.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Employment Agreements

We have not entered into any employment agreements with our executive officers and have not made any agreements to provide benefits upon termination of employment.

Executive Officers and Director Compensation

No executive officer has received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. No compensation of any kind, including finders, consulting or other similar fees, will be paid to any of our existing shareholders, including our directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of a business combination. However, such individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. There is no limit on the amount of these out-of-pocket expenses and there will be no review of the reasonableness of the expenses by anyone other than our board of directors and audit committee, which includes persons who may seek reimbursement, or a court of competent jurisdiction if such reimbursement is challenged.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS

The following table sets forth as of September 10, 2020 the number of ordinary shares beneficially owned by (i) each person who is known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares (ii) each of our officers and directors; and (iii) all of our officers and directors as a group. As of September 10, 2020, we had 7,427,500 ordinary shares issued and outstanding.

Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all ordinary shares beneficially owned by them. The following table does not reflect record of beneficial ownership of any ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants.

All of the insider shares issued and outstanding prior to the IPO were placed in escrow with VStock Transfer, LLC, as escrow agent, until (1) with respect to 50% of the insider shares, the earlier of one year after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination and the date on which the closing price of our Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after our initial business combination and (2) with respect to the remaining 50% of the insider shares, one year after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to our initial business combination, we consummate a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property.

During the escrow period, the holders of these shares will not be able to sell or transfer their securities except (i) for transfers to our officers, directors or their respective affiliates (including for transfers to an entity’s members upon its liquidation), (ii) to relatives and trusts for estate planning purposes, (iii) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death, (iv) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, (v) by certain pledges to secure obligations incurred in connection with purchases of our securities, (vi) by private sales made at or prior to the consummation of a business combination at prices no greater than the price at which the shares were originally purchased or (vii) to us for no value for cancellation in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination, in each case (except for clause (vii)) where the transferee agrees to the terms of the escrow agreement, but will retain all other rights as our shareholders, including, without limitation, the right to vote their Ordinary Shares and the right to receive cash dividends, if declared. If dividends are declared and payable in Ordinary Shares, such dividends will also be placed in escrow. If we are unable to effect a business combination and liquidate the trust account, none of our initial shareholders will receive any portion of the liquidation proceeds with respect to their insider shares.

In order to meet our working capital needs following the IPO, our initial shareholders, officers and directors or their affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion. Each loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The notes would either be paid upon consummation of our initial business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $500,000 of the notes may be converted upon consummation of our business combination into private units at a price of $10.00 per unit (which, for example, would result in the holders being issued units to acquire 55,000 Ordinary Shares (which includes 5,000 shares issuable upon conversion of rights) and warrants to purchase 25,000 Ordinary Shares if $500,000 of notes were so converted). Our shareholders have approved the issuance of the units and underlying securities upon conversion of such notes, to the extent the holder wishes to so convert them at the time of the consummation of our initial business combination. If we do not complete a business combination, the loans will not be repaid.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

The Company issued one share to its founding director upon its inception on November 24, 2017 for $1. On April 17, 2018, this share was transferred to the 8i Holdings Limited. On July 31, 2018, the Company issued 1,437,499 shares to 8i Holdings Limited for $24,999.

In order to meet our working capital needs, our initial shareholders, officers and directors and their respective affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion. Each loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The notes would either be paid upon consummation of our initial business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $500,000 of the notes may be converted upon consummation of our business combination into private units at a price of $10.00 per unit (which, for example, would result in the holders being issued units to acquire 55,000 Ordinary Shares (which includes 5,000 shares issuable upon conversion of rights) and warrants to purchase 25,000 Ordinary Shares if $500,000 of notes were so converted). Our shareholders have approved the issuance of the units and underlying securities upon conversion of such notes, to the extent the holder wishes to so convert them at the time of the consummation of our initial business combination. If we do not complete a business combination, the loans would not be repaid. As discussed in the immediately following paragraph notes for an aggregate amount of up to $300,000 were issued in July 2019.

On each of July 2, 2019, July 23, 2019, September 25, 2019, October 15, 2019, January 7, 2020, February 3, 2020, March 3, 2020, March 26, 2020, May 11, 2020, June 24, 2020, July 24, 2020, August 3, 2020 and September 4, 2020, 8i issued the Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $200,000, $100,000, $150,000, $200,000, $70,000, $60,000, $100,000, $575,000, $16,000, $287,500, $132,000, $50,000 and $280,000, respectively (the “Notes”), to Enterprises. Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, the Notes do not bear interest and mature upon closing of a business combination by the Company. Each Note is convertible at Enterprises’ option upon providing written notice of such conversion at least one business day prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, into Private Units consisting of one ordinary share, one redeemable warrant to acquire one-half of one ordinary share (which entitles the holder thereof to purchase one-half of one ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per full share), and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of an ordinary share upon the consummation of an initial business combination (which securities have terms equivalent to the terms of the private placement securities issued in connection with the Company’s IPO) at a price of $10.00 per share at the closing of a business combination. Initially up to $500,000 of the outstanding Notes were convertible into Private Units. However, in order to comply with 8i’s obligations under the Third Amendment to convert all of the Notes, 8i’s Board authorized and approved the conversion of Notes in excess of $500,000 to such amount as necessary to fulfill 8i’s obligations but not exceeding $3,000,000. Enterprises has provided 8i with written notice to convert the Notes into 175,850 Private Units immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination.

The holders of our insider shares issued and outstanding on the date of the IPO, as well as the holders of the private units (and all underlying securities) and any securities our initial shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates may be issued in payment of working capital loans made to us, will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to an agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the IPO. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands that we register such securities. The holders of the majority of the insider shares can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these Ordinary Shares are to be released from escrow. The holders of a majority of the private units or securities issued in payment of working capital loans made to us can elect to exercise these registration rights at any time after we consummate a business combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our consummation of a business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

We will reimburse our officers and directors for any reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on our behalf such as identifying and investigating possible target businesses and business combinations. There is no limit on the amount of out-of-pocket expenses reimbursable by us; provided, however, that to the extent such expenses exceed the available proceeds not deposited in the trust account and the interest income earned on the amounts held in the trust account, such expenses would not be reimbursed by us unless we consummate an initial business combination. Our audit committee will review and approve all reimbursements and payments made to any initial shareholder or member of our management team, or our or their respective affiliates, and any reimbursements and payments made to members of our audit committee will be reviewed and approved by our Board of Directors, with any interested director abstaining from such review and approval.

No compensation or fees of any kind, including finder’s fees, consulting fees or other similar compensation, will be paid to any of our initial shareholders, officers or directors who owned our Ordinary Shares prior to the IPO, or to any of their respective affiliates, prior to or with respect to the business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is).

All ongoing and future transactions between us and any of our officers and directors or their respective affiliates will be on terms believed by us to be no less favorable to us than are available from unaffiliated third parties. Such transactions, including the payment of any compensation, will require prior approval by a majority of our uninterested “independent” directors (to the extent we have any) or the members of our board who do not have an interest in the transaction, in either case who had access, at our expense, to our attorneys or independent legal counsel. We will not enter into any such transaction unless our disinterested “independent” directors (or, if there are no “independent” directors, our disinterested directors) determine that the terms of such transaction are no less favorable to us than those that would be available to us with respect to such a transaction from unaffiliated third parties.

Related Party Policy

Our Code of Ethics requires us to avoid, wherever possible, all related party transactions that could result in actual or potential conflicts of interests, except under guidelines approved by the board of directors (or the audit committee). Related-party transactions are defined as transactions in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year, (2) we or any of our subsidiaries is a participant, and (3) any (a) executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director, (b) greater than 5% beneficial owner of our Ordinary Shares, or (c) immediate family member, of the persons referred to in clauses (a) and (b), has or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10% beneficial owner of another entity). A conflict of interest situation can arise when a person takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise if a person, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position.

We also require each of our directors and executive officers to annually complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.

Our audit committee, pursuant to its written charter, will be responsible for reviewing and approving related-party transactions to the extent we enter into such transactions. All ongoing and future transactions between us and any of our officers and directors or their respective affiliates will be on terms believed by us to be no less favorable to us than are available from unaffiliated third parties. Such transactions will require prior approval by our audit committee and a majority of our uninterested “independent” directors, or the members of our board who do not have an interest in the transaction, in either case who had access, at our expense, to our attorneys or independent legal counsel. We will not enter into any such transaction unless our audit committee and a majority of our disinterested “independent” directors determine that the terms of such transaction are no less favorable to us than those that would be available to us with respect to such a transaction from unaffiliated third parties. Additionally, we require each of our directors and executive officers to complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.

These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.

To further minimize potential conflicts of interest, we have agreed not to consummate a business combination with an entity which is affiliated with any of our initial shareholders unless we obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that the business combination is fair to our unaffiliated shareholders from a financial point of view. Furthermore, in no event will any of our existing officers, directors or initial shareholders, or any entity with which they are affiliated, be paid any finder’s fee, consulting fee or other compensation prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of a business combination.

Director Independence

Nasdaq listing standards require that within one year of the listing of our securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market we have at least three independent directors and that a majority of our board of directors be independent. For a description of the director independence, see above Part III, Item 10 - Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Public Accounting Fees

During the period from November 24, 2017 (inception) through July 31, 2020, the firm of UHY LLP, has acted as our principal independent registered public accounting firm. The following is a summary of fees paid or to be paid to UHY LLP for services rendered.

Audit Fees. Audit fees consist of fees billed for professional services rendered for the audit of our year-end financial statements and services that are normally provided by UHY LLP in connection with regulatory filings. The aggregate fees billed by UHY LLP for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements, review of the financial information included in our Forms 10-Q for the respective periods, the registration statement, the closing 8-K and other required filings with the SEC for the years ended July 31, 2019 and 2020 totaled $132,147 and $76,118, respectively. The above amounts include interim procedures and audit fees, as well as attendance at audit committee meetings.

Audit-Related Fees. We did not pay UHY LLP for consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards during the years ended July 31, 2019 and 2020.

Tax Fees. We did not pay UHY LLP for tax planning and tax advice for the years ended July 31, 2019 and 2020.

All Other Fees. For the year ended July 31, 2019, we paid UHY LLP $70,575 to conduct financial due diligence services and background checks associated with the Business Combination. For the year ended July 31, 2020, there were no fees paid to UHY LLP to conduct financial due diligence services and background checks associated with the Business Combination.

Pre-Approval of Services

Since our audit committee had not yet been formed when the work commenced in 2017, the audit committee was not able to pre-approve all of the foregoing services, although all such services were approved by our board of directors. All services subsequent to the formation of the audit committee have been approved by the audit committee.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and

Shareholders of 8i Enterprises Acquisition Corp.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of 8i Enterprises Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) as of July 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, if the Company is not able to consummate a business combination before October 1, 2020, the Company will commence an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation unless the Company seeks and receives the consent of its’ shareholders to otherwise extend the life of the Company. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ UHY LLP

We have served as the Company’s auditors since 2018.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JULY 31, 2020

Note 1 - Organization and Business Operations

Organization and General

8i Enterprises Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”, “we”, or “JFK”) is a newly incorporated company incorporated on November 24, 2017 (the “inception”), under the laws of the British Virgin Islands for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (a “Initial Business Combination”). The Company is an “emerging growth company”, as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). The Company’s efforts to identify a prospective target business will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic location.

As of July 31, 2020, the Company had not yet commenced any operations. All activity for the period from November 24, 2017 through July 31, 2020 relates to the Company’s formation, the Initial Public Offering (“IPO”), and the potential acquisition of Diginex Ltd. described below. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its Initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The Company has selected July 31 as its fiscal year-end.

Sponsor and Financing

The Company issued one share to its founding director upon its inception on November 24, 2017 for $1. On April 17, 2018, this share was transferred to the 8i Holdings Limited. On July 25 2018, the Company issued 1,437,499 shares to 8i Holdings Limited for $24,999.

The Company’s sponsor is 8i Holdings Limited (the “Sponsor”), a Limited Liability Exempted Company incorporated in the Cayman Islands on November 24, 2017. The registration statements for the Company’s IPO were declared effective on March 27, 2019. On April 1, 2019 the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 5,000,000 units (“Units” or “Public Units” and, with respect to the ordinary shares included in the Public Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), generating gross proceeds of $50,000,000, which is described in Note 3. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) with 8i Enterprises Pte Ltd, a company wholly owned by Mr. James Tan, of 221,250 units (the “Private Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $2,212,500.

Upon closing of the IPO and the private placement, the proceeds, less $2,212,500 was held in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) (discussed below).

On April 4, 2019, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full and the closing of the issuance and sale of the additional Units occurred on April 8, 2019. The total aggregate issuance by the Company of 750,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit resulted in total gross proceeds of $7,500,000, less the underwriters’ discount of $1,437,500. On April 8, 2019, simultaneously with the sale of the over-allotment units, the Company consummated the private sale of an additional 18,750 Private Units, generating gross proceeds of $187,500.

The Trust Account

The funds held in the Trust Account will be invested only in United States government treasury bills, bonds or notes having a maturity of 180 days or less, or in money market funds meeting the applicable conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and that invest solely in United States government treasuries. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the trust account that may be released to the Company to pay its income or other tax obligations, the proceeds will not be released from the Trust Account until the earlier of the completion of a business combination or the Company’s liquidation.

F-6

Initial Business Combination

On March 20, 2020, the original date for the meeting of the shareholders of the Company (the “Original Meeting), the shareholders voted in favor of a proposal to adjourn the meeting to June 15, 2020 (the “Adjournment”). As a result, the Company was unable to complete the Business Combination by the initial deadline of March 31, 2020, which was 12 months after the closing of the IPO. On March 26, 2020, the Company deposited $575,000 into the trust account pursuant to the Trust Agreement between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, in order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate its initial business combination by three (3) months from April 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020 (the “First Extension Deadline”), which is 15 months from the closing of the IPO. On June 24, 2020, the Company deposited another $575,000 into the trust account pursuant to the Trust Agreement between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, in order to extend the time available for the Company to consummate its initial business combination for an additional three (3) months from July 1, 2020 to September 30, 2020 (the “Second Extension Deadline”), which is 18 months from the closing of the IPO. Pursuant to the terms of our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Trust Agreement entered into between the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, in order to extend the time available for it to consummate its initial business combination, the Company’s insiders or its affiliates or designees, upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, must deposit into the trust account $575,000 on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline. The insiders will receive a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note equal to the amount of any such deposit that will not be repaid in the event that the Company is unable to close a business combination unless there are funds available outside the trust account to do so. Such notes would either be paid upon consummation of the Company’s initial business combination, or, at the lender’s discretion, converted upon consummation of the Company’s business combination into additional Private Units at a price of USD10.00 per unit. The Company’s shareholders have approved the issuance of the Private Units upon conversion of such notes, to the extent the holder wishes to so convert such notes at the time of the consummation of our initial business combination. In the event that the Company receives notice from its insiders five days prior to the applicable deadline of its intent to effect an extension, the Company intends to issue a press release announcing such intention at least three days prior to the applicable deadline. In addition, the Company intends to issue a press release the day after the applicable deadline announcing whether or not the funds had been timely deposited. The Company’s insiders and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the trust account to extend the time for it to complete its initial business combination. To the extent that some, but not all, of the Company’s insiders, decide to extend the period of time to consummate its initial business combination, such insiders (or their affiliates or designees) may deposit the entire amount required. If the Company’s is unable to consummate its initial business combination within 15 months from the closing of the IPO (or within 18 months, as previously described), the Company will, as promptly as possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of its outstanding public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account, including a pro rata portion of any interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not necessary to pay our taxes, and then seek to liquidate and dissolve. However, the Company may not be able to distribute such amounts as a result of claims of creditors which may take priority over the claims of its public shareholders. In the event of the Company’s dissolution and liquidation, the public rights will expire and will be worthless.

If the Company is not able to consummate a Business Combination before October 1, 2020, the Company will commence an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation unless the Company seeks and receives the consent of its shareholders to otherwise extend the life of the Company. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

If the Company is unable to consummate its initial business combination within this time period, it will liquidate the trust account and distribute the proceeds held therein to the Company’s public shareholders and dissolve. If the Company is forced to liquidate, it anticipates that the Company would distribute to its public shareholders the amount in the trust account calculated as of the date that is two days prior to the distribution date (including any accrued interest). Prior to such distribution, the Company would be required to assess all claims that may be potentially brought against it by its creditors for amounts they are actually owed and make provision for such amounts, as creditors take priority over the Company’s public shareholders with respect to amounts that are owed to them. The Company cannot assure you that it will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against it. As such, the Company’s shareholders could potentially be liable for any claims of creditors to the extent of distributions received by them as an unlawful payment in the event the Company enter an insolvent liquidation.

Pursuant to the Nasdaq listing rules, the Company’s initial business combination must be with a target business or businesses whose collective fair market value is at least equal to 80% of the balance in the trust account (excluding any deferred underwriting discounts and commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the trust account) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for such business combination, although this may entail simultaneous acquisitions of several target businesses. The fair market value of the target will be determined by the Company’s board of directors based upon one or more standards generally accepted by the financial community (such as actual and potential sales, earnings, cash flow and/or book value). The Company’s board of directors will have broad discretion in choosing the standard used to establish the fair market value of any prospective target business. The target business or businesses that the Company acquires may have a collective fair market value substantially in excess of 80% of the trust account balance.

F-7

Share Exchange Agreement

On July 9, 2019, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Diginex Ltd., a Hong Kong company (“Diginex”), the shareholders of Diginex (the “Sellers”) and Pelham Limited, a Hong Kong company, as representative of the Sellers (the “Representative”), pursuant to which the Company would acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of Diginex (the “Acquisition”). Diginex is in the business of providing blockchain technologies for an ecosystem infrastructure to enable adoption of digital assets across financial markets through the offer of advisory, markets and asset management services. Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, the Sellers agreed to sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to the Company all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of Diginex owned by the Sellers in exchange for the issuance to the Sellers of an aggregate of 20,000,000 Ordinary Shares (the “Share Exchange”).

On October 8, 2019, each of the parties to the Share Exchange Agreement entered into an amendment and joinder to the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Amendment,” and together with the Share Exchange Agreement, the “Amended Agreement”) with Diginex Limited (formerly known as Digital Innovative Limited), a Singapore public company limited by shares (“Singapore NewCo”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary Digital Innovative Limited, a British Virgin Islands business company (“BVI NewCo”), for the purpose of joining both entities as parties to the Share Exchange Agreement. The Amendment reflects that prior to the consummation of the Share Exchange, BVI NewCo will merge with and into the Company (the “Reincorporation Merger”), and the Company will be the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Singapore NewCo pursuant to a merger agreement by and among Singapore NewCo, BVI NewCo and the Company (the “Merger Agreement”) and a plan of merger by and among the Company and BVI NewCo (the “Plan of Merger”). At the closing of the Reincorporation Merger, Singapore NewCo will issue ordinary shares, with no par value (the “Singapore NewCo Ordinary Shares”), and warrants to the Company’s shareholders (the “Singapore NewCo Warrants”), as set forth in the Merger Agreement. The Amendment also provides, among other things, (i) that Singapore NewCo Ordinary Shares will be issued to the Sellers in the Share Exchange in lieu of Ordinary Shares, (ii) that references to the proxy statement in the Amended Agreement were replaced with references to the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and (iii) that references to the Purchaser and its obligations (x) post-closing, (y) with respect to Nasdaq matters, and (z) for directors’ and officers’ indemnification and liability insurance in the Share Exchange Agreement, were replaced with Singapore NewCo.

On January 28, 2020, each of the parties to the Share Exchange Agreement and the Amendment entered into an amendment to the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Second Amendment,” and together with Amendment and the Share Exchange Agreement, the “Amended Share Exchange Agreement”), for the purpose of increasing the size of Diginex’s permitted pre-Closing Date private placement of its ordinary shares from $30 million to $50 million.

On May 6, 2020, each of the parties to the Second Amendment entered into a third amendment to the Share Exchange Agreement (the “Third Amendment,” and together with the Share Exchange Agreement, the Amendment and the Second Amendment, the “Amended Share Exchange Agreement”) to, among other things, (a) extend the outside closing date of the Share Exchange to June 23, 2020, (b) increase the number of Singapore NewCo Ordinary Shares issuable to the Sellers in the Share Exchange from 20,000,000 to 25,000,000, (c) increase the number of shares the Sellers are entitled to receive if the closing price of the Singapore NewCo Ordinary Shares satisfy certain thresholds (the “Earnout Shares”) from an aggregate of 5,000,000 to 12,000,000, adjust closing price targets and to increase the milestone dates by which the Earnout Shares could be issued from three years to four years after the anniversary of the Closing Date; (d) increase the number of options to purchase Singapore NewCo Ordinary Shares received upon cancellation of the outstanding options to purchase ordinary shares under Diginex’s existing incentive plan from 4,200,000 to 5,600,000, and (e) allow JFK to issue up to 1,000,000 Singapore NewCo Ordinary Shares to third party advisors or consultants to (i) assist JFK with maintaining funds of at least $15,000,000 in the trust account after giving effect to all JFK ordinary share redemptions, but prior to taking into account JFK’s liabilities for any fees and costs relating to the transactions contemplated by the Amended Share Exchange Agreement, or (ii) provide market making services to Diginex after the Closing.

F-8

The Third Amendment includes new covenants of the parties prior to the Closing Date, such as (a) JFK shall convert all outstanding promissory notes issued in favor of 8i Enterprises Pte. Ltd. into JFK private units as of the Closing Date (the “Sponsor Loan Conversion”), (b) JFK shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Chardan Capital LLC (“Chardan”) to agree to convert, effective as of the Closing Date, deferred underwriting compensation in the amount of $1,725,000 owed to Chardan and any additional fees to be paid by JFK to Chardan upon the consummation of the Closing into Singapore NewCo Ordinary Shares at $10.00 per share, which shares will be subject to a lock-up agreement restricting any transfer thereof for a period of no less than six months after Closing, (c) Diginex will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause one of its service providers to enter into a lock-up agreement in connection with receipt of Singapore NewCo Ordinary Shares that such service provider will receive on the Closing Date for a period of no less than six months after the Closing Date, and (d) each of JFK and Diginex will use best efforts to assist the other party to fulfill the new covenants relating to (i) JFK maintaining $15,000,000 in the trust account as of the Closing Date after giving effect to JFK’s ordinary share redemptions, but prior to taking into account JFK’s liabilities for any fees and costs relating to the transactions contemplated by the Amended Share Exchange Agreement, and (ii) Diginex raising at least $15,000,000 through the issuance of new ordinary shares to be completed no later than the Closing (the “Subsequent Diginex Equity Private Placement”). The failure to comply with the covenants described in clause (d) of this paragraph will not constitute a material breach of the Amended Share Exchange Agreement for the purposes of fulfilling certain closing conditions of parties, or with respect to the indemnification or termination provisions set forth in the Amended Share Exchange Agreement. In the event the respective covenants that are the subject matter of clause (d) of this paragraph are not fulfilled, or, (i) if the market value of the unrestricted publicly held JFK ordinary shares (as calculated under the rules of The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”)) that are outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing Date (after giving effect to the JFK ordinary share redemptions), and (ii) the combined stockholders equity of JFK and Diginex (after giving effect to the JFK ordinary share redemptions, the Share Exchange and the transactions contemplated thereby), fail to satisfy Nasdaq listing requirements ((i) and (ii), collectively, the “Nasdaq Requirements”), the parties have agreed to negotiate in good faith to reach a mutually agreeable resolution with respect thereto. However, if they are unable to reach an agreement, such failure will not be a material breach on the part of any party that elects to terminate the Amended Share Exchange Agreement because the transactions contemplated thereunder did not occur prior to June 23, 2020, the outside closing date.

The Third Amendment includes new covenants of Diginex that (a) without JFK’s prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Diginex and its affiliates will not, directly or indirectly, or through any other person (including, its directors, officers and agents) engage with or contact, for the purpose of making an investment into Diginex or any of its affiliates, any potential investor actually introduced to Diginex or its affiliates by JFK or its affiliates during the period commencing on April 27, 2020 and ending on the earlier of the Closing Date and termination of the Amended Share Exchange Agreement, and who have not previously (i) had any direct or indirect business or investment relationship with Diginex or its affiliates or (ii) engaged in any discussions with or contacted or been contacted by, directly or indirectly, or through any other person (including, its directors, officers and agents), Diginex or the Diginex’s affiliates, advisors or representatives regarding a potential business or investment relationship, until the Closing Date, or in the event the Amended Shares Exchange Agreement is terminated, for a period of 12 months after the termination, and (b) without JFK’s prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) Diginex will not use any proceeds of the Subsequent Diginex Private Placement, up to $15,000,000, for any purpose other than its operating expenses and capital expenditures.

The Third Amendment includes new covenants of all parties that, (a) JFK will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause one of its service providers to enter into a lock-up agreement in connection with receipt of Singapore NewCo Ordinary Shares that such service provider will receive for a period of no less than six months after the Closing Date, (b) JFK will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the balance of the trust account after giving effect to JFK’s ordinary share redemptions, but prior to taking into account JFK’s liabilities for any fees and costs relating to the transactions contemplated by the Amended Share Exchange Agreement, to be an amount greater than or equal to $15,000,000, (c) prior to the Closing Date, Diginex will use its commercially reasonable efforts to raise at least $15,000,000 through the Subsequent Diginex Private Placement, and (d) JFK and Diginex will use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the Nasdaq Requirements.

The Third Amendment includes new conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the Share Exchange, such as (i) the balance of the trust account will be an amount greater than or equal to $15,000,000 after giving effect to JFK’s ordinary share redemptions, but prior to taking into account JFK’s liabilities for any fees and costs relating to the Share Exchange, and (ii) during the period commencing on April 24, 2020 and ending on the Closing Date, Diginex will raise at least $15,000,000 through the Subsequent Diginex Private Placement. As a new condition to Diginex’s obligation to consummate the Share Exchange, JFK will deliver to Diginex evidence of the Sponsor Loan Conversion. The existing condition to consummate the Share Exchange that JFK receives executed copies of lock-up agreements from all of the Diginex shareholders has been revised, so that in Diginex’s sole discretion up to 5,000,000 of the Singapore NewCo Ordinary Shares issued in the Subsequent Diginex Private Placement may be issued without being subject to the restrictions in the lock-up agreement.

F-9

The Third Amendment provides Diginex the right, at its sole option, to terminate the Amended Share Exchange Agreement if the Nasdaq Requirements are not met, or if after giving effect to the JFK ordinary share redemptions, the Share Exchange and the transactions contemplated thereby, JFK fails to comply with the net tangible assets requirements set forth in its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.

	●	Singapore NewCo shall have filed with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority of Singapore the Amended and Restated Constitution in the form included in the Proxy Statement and approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Meeting; and
	●	the Reincorporation Merger shall have been consummated.

The Company’s Conditions to Closing

The obligations of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Amended Share Exchange Agreement, in addition to the conditions described above in the first paragraph of this section, are conditioned upon, among other things, each of the following:

	●	Diginex having performed in all material respects its obligations required to be performed by it in the Share Exchange Agreement at or prior to the closing of the Business Combination;
	●	there shall have not occurred and be continuing any Diginex Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Amended Share Exchange Agreement) on Diginex and its subsidiaries;
	●	the representations and warranties of Diginex being true and correct on and as of the closing of the Business Combination as if made at and as of such time (except for representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date prior to the closing date, in which case such representations and warranties need only be true and correct as of such earlier date); provided, that with the exception of representations and warranties relating to corporate existence and power, authorization, execution, delivery and performance of the Amended Share Exchange Agreement and other transaction documents, non-contravention, capitalization, and finders’ fees, this condition shall be deemed satisfied unless any and all inaccuracies in such representations and warranties, in the aggregate, result in a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Amended Share Exchange Agreement), in each case without giving effect to any limitation as to materiality or Company Material Adverse Effect set forth therein;
	●	there shall have not occurred and be continuing any Diginex Material Adverse Effect;
	●	Diginex’s key personnel shall have executed non-compete agreements and Diginex shall have entered into labor agreements with each of its employees to the extent required by law, and satisfied all accrued obligations applicable to its employees; and

F-11

●

Diginex shall have provided executed copies of lock-up agreements by each of the Sellers, which lock-up agreements shall, at Diginex’s sole discretion, not place any restrictions on up to 5,000,000 Singapore NewCo Ordinary Shares issued in the Subsequent Company Private Placement.

Accounting for the Acquisition

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a “reverse merger” in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting the Company will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination is primarily based on the fact that subsequent to the Business Combination, Diginex securityholders are expected to have a majority of the voting power of the combined company, Diginex comprising all of the ongoing operations of the combined entity, Diginex comprising a majority of the governing body of the combined company, and Diginex’s senior management comprising all of the senior management of the combined company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of Diginex issuing stock for the net assets of the Company, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of the Company will be stated at fair value which approximates historical costs as the Company has only cash and short-term liabilities. No goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of Diginex.

Liquidation

However, the holders of the initial shares will not participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to such securities. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the $10.00 per Unit in the Initial Public Offering. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, an affiliate of the sponsor will contractually agree, pursuant to a written agreement to the Company, that if the Company liquidates the Trust Account prior to the consummation of a business combination, it will be liable to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by the Company for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to the Company. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the affiliate of the sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the affiliate of the sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent auditors), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

The Company will pay the costs of liquidating the trust account from the remaining assets outside of the trust account. If such funds are insufficient, the Sponsor has contractually agreed to advance the Company the funds necessary to complete such liquidation (currently anticipated to be no more than approximately $18,500) and has contractually agreed not to seek repayment for such expenses.

Liquidity

As of July 31, 2020, the Company had cash outside the Trust Account of $5,382 available for working capital needs. All remaining cash was held in the Trust Account and is generally unavailable for use, prior to an initial Business Combination, and is restricted for use either in a Business Combination or to redeem ordinary shares. As of July 31, 2020, none of the amount on deposit in the Trust Account was available to be withdrawn as described above.

Through July 31, 2020, the Company’s liquidity needs were satisfied through receipt of an aggregate of $2,217,601 from an affiliate of the Sponsor, of which $326,185 were repaid upon the IPO, the remaining net proceeds from the IPO and Private Placement (as described in Note 3 and Note 4), as well as the receipt of $387,500 from Diginex.

Until consummation of its Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account, and any additional funding from the Sponsor’s promissory note commitment, for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

F-12

If the Company’s estimates of the costs of undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating Business Combination is less than the actual amount necessary to do so, the Company may have insufficient funds available to operate its business prior to the Business Combination. Moreover, the Company will need to raise additional capital through loans from its Sponsor, officers, directors, or third parties. None of the Sponsor, officers or directors are under any obligation to advance funds to, or to invest in, the Company. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of its business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. Furthermore, if the Company is not able to consummate a Business Combination by the Second Extension Deadline, the Company may commence an automatic winding up, dissolution and liquidation. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of the Company is presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made that are necessary to present fairly the financial position, and the results of its operations and its cash flows.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an emerging growth company as defined by Section 2(a) of the JOBS Act and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosures obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exceptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payment not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised, and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make the comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A – “Expenses of Offering”. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the Public Offering and that were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the IPO. Accordingly, offering costs totaling approximately $5,749,899 have been charged to stockholders’ equity (consisting of $1,437,500 in underwriters’ discount, $1,725,000 in deferred underwriters’ discount, plus $676,099 of other cash expenses, and a non-cash charge of $1,911,300 to record the fair value of the Unit Purchase Option (UPO) (as described in Note 4 – Private Placement). There were no payments of deferred offering costs for the year ended July 31, 2020.

F-13

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of July 31, 2020 and 2019.

Cash Held in Trust Account

At July 31, 2020, the assets held in the Trust Account were held in cash and treasury funds.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000 per depositor. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to its short-term nature.

Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at July 31, 2020, ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheets.

Warrants and Rights

Since the Company is not required to net cash settle the Warrants and Rights and the Warrants and Rights are exercisable upon the consummation of an initial Business Combination, the management determined that the Warrants and Rights will be classified within shareholders’ equity as “Additional paid-in capital” upon their issuance in accordance with ASC 815-40. The proceeds from the sale will be allocated to Public Shares, Warrants, and Rights based on the relative fair value of the securities in accordance with 470-20-30. The value of the Public Shares, Warrants, and Rights will be based on the closing price paid by investors.

Net Loss per Ordinary Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Net loss per ordinary share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding for the period. At July 31, 2020, the Company did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the income of the Company. As a result, diluted income per ordinary share is the same as basic income per ordinary share for the periods presented.

F-14

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carryforwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

ASC 740 also clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in the interim period, disclosure and transition.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of July 31, 2020. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception and has identified the British Virgin Islands as its only “major” tax jurisdiction. The Company is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the British Virgin Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the period presented.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date the financial statements were issued.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have an effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 3 – Initial Public Offering

Pursuant to the IPO on April 1, 2019, the Company sold 5,000,000 units at a purchase price of $10.00 per unit (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one ordinary share, one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”) to acquire one-half (1/2) of one ordinary share, and one right (“Public Right”) to receive one-tenth (1/10) of an ordinary share upon the consummation of an Initial Business Combination. Each redeemable warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one-half (1/2) of one ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per full share, and each ten rights entitle the holder thereof to receive one ordinary share at the closing of a business combination. However, the Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares, meaning that the Warrants must be exercised in multiples of two. No fractional shares will be issued upon separation of the Units.

Note 4 – Private Placement

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the Private Placement with 8i Enterprises Pte. Ltd. of 221,250 units (the “Private Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $2,212,500.

On April 4, 2019, the underwriters exercised the over-allotment option in full and the closing of the issuance and sale of the additional Units occurred on April 8, 2019. The total aggregate issuance by the Company of 750,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit resulted in total gross proceeds of $7,500,000. On April 8, 2019, simultaneously with the sale of the over-allotment units, the Company consummated the private sale of an additional 18,750 Private Units, generating gross proceeds of $187,500.

The Company granted to Chardan Capital Markets, LLC (“Chardan”), the representative of the underwriters, a 45-day option to purchase up to 750,000 units (over and above the 5,000,000 units referred to above) solely to cover over-allotments at $10.00 per unit. The Units that would be issued in connection with the over-allotment option would be identical to the Units issued in the IPO.

F-15

On April 1, 2019, the underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of two and a half percent (2.5%) of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, or $1,250,000. On April 4, 2019, the underwriter exercised its over-allotment option in full. Therefore, an additional underwriting discount of $187,500 was paid to the underwriters accordingly.

The Company sold to the underwriters (and/or its designees), for $100, an option to purchase up to a total of six percent of the total number of units sold in the public offering. The option is exercisable, in whole or in part, at $11.50 per unit. Based on a maximum of 300,000 units (or 345,000 units if the over-allotment option is exercised) being exercisable under the option, the aggregate proceeds from exercising the units would be $3,450,000 (or $3,967,500 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full). The term for the exercise of the option would commence on the later of the consummation of an Initial Business Combination or one-year anniversary from the IPO.

The Private Units are identical to the units sold in the Initial Public Offering except the Private Units will be non-redeemable. The purchasers of the Private Units have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Units or underlying securities (except to the same permitted transferees as the insider shares) until the completion of the Business Combination.

If the Company does not complete a Business Combination by September 30, 2020, the proceeds of the sale of the Private Units will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law).

Note 5 – Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On April 17, 2018 and July 25, 2018, the Sponsor purchased 1,437,500 ordinary shares (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate price of $25,000, or approximately $0.0174 per share. The Founder Shares are identical to the ordinary shares included in the Units being sold in the Proposed Offering. The Sponsor has agreed to forfeit 187,500 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters. The forfeiture will be adjusted to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters so that the Founder Shares will represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares (excluding shares from units of private placement) after the IPO.

All of the Founder Shares issued and outstanding prior to the date of the IPO were placed in escrow with VStock Transfer, LLC, as escrow agent, until (1) with respect to 50% of the Founder Shares, the earlier of six months after the date of the consummation of an Initial Business Combination and the date on which the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.50 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations and recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing after the Initial Business Combination and (2) with respect to the remaining 50% of the Founder Shares, six months after the date of the consummation of an Initial Business Combination, or earlier, in either case, if, subsequent to the Initial Business Combination, the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of its shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property. Up to 187,500 of the Founder Shares may also be released from escrow earlier than this date for forfeiture and cancellation if the over-allotment option is not exercised in full. The over-allotment option was exercised in full on April 4, 2019.

Related Party Loans

8i Enterprises Pte. Ltd., an entity controlled by the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, extended a loan of $25,000 on May 3, 2018. This loan was non-interest bearing and was repaid in August 2018. As of July 31, 2020, 8i Enterprises Pte. Ltd. had advanced the Company an aggregate of $2,217,601, in regard to the costs associated with the formation, the IPO Offering, and business combination efforts, of which the Company repaid $326,185 to 8i Enterprises Pte. Ltd. from the proceeds of the Initial Public Offering not being placed in the Trust Account on April 1, 2019.

F-16

On July 2, 2019, July 23, 2019, September 25, 2019, October 15, 2019, January 7, 2020, February 3, 2020, March 3, 2020, March 26, 2020, May 11, 2020, June 24, 2020, July 24, 2020, August 3, 2020, and September 4, 2020, the Company issued unsecured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of up to $2,220,500 (the “Notes”) to 8i Enterprises Pte. Ltd. The Notes do not bear interest and mature upon closing of a business combination by the Company. Each Note is convertible at 8i Enterprises Pte. Ltd.’s option upon providing written notice of such conversion at least one business day prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, into Private Units consisting of one ordinary share, one redeemable warrant to acquire one-half of one ordinary share (which entitles the holder thereof to purchase one-half of one ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per full share), and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of an ordinary share upon the consummation of an initial business combination (which securities have terms equivalent to the terms of the private placement securities issued in connection with the Company’s IPO) at a price of $10.00 per share at the closing of a business combination. Initially up to $500,000 of the outstanding Notes were initially convertible into Private Units. However, in order to comply with the Company’s obligations under the Third Amendment to convert all of the Notes, the Company’s Board authorized and approved the conversion of Notes in excess of $500,000 to such amount as necessary to fulfill the Company’s obligations but not exceeding $3,000,000. 8i Enterprises Pte. Ltd. has provided the Company with written notice to convert the Notes into 189,050 Private Units immediately prior to the Closing.

Note 6 – Due to Diginex

On March 3, 2020 and June 24, 2020, the Company issued unsecured promissory notes to Diginex in the aggregate principal amount of up to $387,500 (the “Diginex Notes”). The Diginex Notes do not bear interest and mature upon closing of a business combination by the Company. The proceeds of the Diginex Notes will be used for the Company’s share of the cost arising from an additional services agreement with Chardan (see Note 7) and for the cost of extending the combination period by an additional 3 months (until the end of September 2020).

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies

Agreements with underwriters

The Company sold to Chardan, for $100, an option to purchase up to 345,000 units exercisable at $11.50 per unit, commencing on the later of the consummation of a business combination and six months from the effective date of the Registration Statement.

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founders’ Shares issued and outstanding at the closing of the IPO, as well as the holders of the private units (and all underlying securities) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to an agreement to be signed prior to or on the date of the IPO. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to make up to two demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders will have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company’s consummation of an Initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Business Combination Marketing Agreements

Chardan M&A Agreement

On April 12, 2019, the Company engaged Chardan to act as financial and M&A advisor (the Chardan M&A Agreement) in connection with a business combination (the “Transaction”) to advise and assist the Company in negotiating terms and conditions of the above defined or other transactions, introduce the Company, either directly or indirectly, to potential investors and/or business partners (“Chardan Introduced Parties”), and perform such other financial advisory services as Chardan and the Company may from time to time agree upon.

In the event a Transaction is consummated involving a Chardan Introduced Party as business combination target that has not been in negotiations with the Company as of April 12, 2019, the Company will pay Chardan an aggregate M&A fee (the “Chardan M&A Fee”) based on the Aggregate Value of the Transaction, according to the following schedule: 3% of the Aggregate Value up to $100 million, 2% of the Aggregate Value up between $100 million to $200 million; and 1% of the Aggregate Value above $200 million. If a Transaction with an Introduced Party is not consummated prior to the expiration of the Chardan M&A Agreement, Chardan shall be entitled to the Chardan Advisory Fee and the Chardan Financing Fee with respect to any Transaction involving introduced parties within 12 months following the expiration or termination of the Chardan M&A agreement.

Note 8 – Shareholders’ Equity

Ordinary Shares

The Company is authorized to issue unlimited ordinary shares of no par value. If the Company enters into an Initial Business Combination, it may (depending on the terms of such an Initial Business Combination) be required to increase the number of ordinary shares at the same time as the Company’s shareholders vote on the Initial Business Combination to the extent the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with the Initial Business Combination. Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock.

As of July 31, 2020, the Company has issued an aggregate of 2,442,594 ordinary shares, excluding 4,984,906 shares subject to possible redemption, none of which are subject to forfeiture.

Preferred Stock

As of July 31, 2020, there were no preferred stock issued or outstanding.

F-18

Public Warrants

Each warrant will become exercisable on the later of the completion of an Initial Business Combination and 12 months from the closing of the IPO and will expire five years after the completion of an Initial Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares, meaning that the Public Warrants must be exercised in multiples of two. Once the Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants in whole, and not in part, at a price of $0.01 per Warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, if and only if (a) the last sale price of the Company’s ordinary shares equals or exceeds $16.50 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending three business days prior to the date on which the Company sent the notice of redemption to the Warrant holders, and (b) there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the ordinary shares underlying such warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire 30-day trading period referred to above and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption.

Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving entity in a business combination, each holder of a right will automatically receive one-tenth (1/10) of an ordinary share upon consummation of an Initial Business Combination. In the event it is not the surviving entity upon completion of an Initial Business Combination, each holder of a right will be required to affirmatively convert his, her or its rights in order to receive the one-tenth (1/10) of a share underlying each right upon consummation of the business combination. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with an exchange of rights; fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole share or otherwise addressed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the British Virgin Islands law.

Private Warrants

The Private warrants contain identical terms as Public Warrants with the following exceptions:

1.	Private warrants will be non-redeemable and may be exercised on a cashless basis, in each case so long as they continue to be held by 8i Enterprises Pte. Ltd. or its permitted transferees.

2.	Because the private units will be issued in a private transaction, 8i Enterprises Pte. Ltd. and its permitted transferees will be allowed to exercise the private warrants 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.

3.	8i Enterprises Pte. Ltd. and its designees have agreed (A) to vote the ordinary shares underlying the private units, or “private shares,” in favor of any proposed business combination, (B) not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association that would stop the Company’s public shareholders from converting or selling their shares to the Company in connection with a business combination or affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Company’s public shares if the Company does not complete a business combination within 12 months from the closing of the Proposed Offering (or 18 months, as applicable) unless the Company provides dissenting public shareholders with the opportunity to convert their public shares in connection with any such vote, (C) not to convert any private shares for cash from the trust account in connection with a shareholder vote to approve our proposed initial business combination or a vote to amend the provisions of the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity and (D) that the private shares shall not participate in any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a business combination is not consummated. 8i Enterprises Pte. Ltd. and its designees have also agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the private units or underlying securities (except to the same permitted transferees as the insider shares and provided the transferees agree to the same terms and restrictions as the permitted transferees of the insider shares must agree to) until the completion of our initial business combination.

Note 9 – Subsequent Events

On August 5, 2020, the “Company received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), which stated that the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq’s continued listing rules due to the Company not having held an annual meeting within 12 months of the Company’s fiscal year end, as required pursuant to rule 5620(a). In accordance with Nasdaq Rule 5810(c)(2)(G), the Company has 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance and, if Nasdaq accepts the plan, Nasdaq can grant the Company an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the fiscal year end, or until January 27, 2021, to regain compliance. The Company plans to submit a compliance plan within the specified period.

In accordance with the Third Amendment to the Share Exchange Agreement, if the business combination is not consummated and such failure is not the result of a default or breach of any party to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company will reimburse Diginex for Diginex’s expenses related to certain professional and accounting fees incurred.

As of September 11, 2020, a total of 3,423,625 shares of the Company’s ordinary shares were requested to be redeemed upon consummation of the Business Combination.
