The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, are referred to herein as the “Transactions”.

In connection with the Transactions, the Issuer, New Global Blue, Global Blue, Globetrotter, Far Point LLC (the “Founder”) and Third Point Ventures LLC entered into a Voting and Support Agreement (the “Voting and Support Agreement”), pursuant to, and on the terms and subject to the conditions of, which each of Founder and Third Point Ventures LLC unconditionally and irrevocably agreed, among other things, to vote its shares of Issuer, and take certain other actions, in support of the Transactions.

Additionally, concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, New Global Blue, Globetrotter and Cayman Holdings, as applicable, entered into certain share purchase and contribution agreements (the “Share Purchase and Contribution Agreements”) with the following, as applicable, (i) Issuer and certain affiliates of Third Point LLC, an affiliate of Issuer and (ii) Antfin (Hong Kong) Holding Limited (“Antfin”). Pursuant to these share purchase and contribution agreements, the affiliates of Third Point and Antfin committed to purchase, concurrently with the closing of the Transactions, ordinary shares of Global Blue from Globetrotter and Cayman Holdings, as applicable, for an aggregate purchase price of up to $100.0 million, in the case of the Third Point affiliates, and equal to $125.0 million, in the case of Antfin, at $10.00 per share.

Additionally, concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, a letter agreement was entered into by and among Cloudbreak Aggregator LP (“Backstop Provider”), certain affiliates of Third Point LLC and Globetrotter, whereby the parties agreed that Globetrotter has third party beneficiary rights to specifically enforce (i) the obligations of such affiliates of Third Point to provide equity financing to Backstop Provider pursuant to an equity commitment letter and (ii) Issuer’s rights under that certain forward purchase agreement dated as of May 18, 2018 (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”). The Forward Purchase Agreement provides that to the extent holders of Issuer common stock redeem more than 20,000,000 shares of Issuer common stock, Backstop Provider will purchase shares of Issuer common stock at $9.50 per share, for an aggregate purchase price equal to the total number of Issuer common stock in excess of 20,000,000 redeemed, multiplied by $10.00.

Additionally, concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, New Global Blue, Issuer and certain third-party investors (the “Primary PIPE Investors”) entered into share subscription agreements (the “Share Subscription Agreements”) pursuant to which the Primary PIPE Investors have committed to subscribe for and purchase, concurrently with the closing of the Transactions, in the aggregate, 12,500,000 New Global Blue Shares for $10.00 per share or an aggregate purchase price equal to $125.0 million.

The Reporting Persons acquired the securities reported herein with the intention of supporting the Transactions, including by voting the shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by them for the Merger at the shareholders meeting to be called by the Issuer to vote on the Merger and other proposals related to the Merger to be voted upon at the shareholders meeting (the “Vote Proposals”). In furtherance of the foregoing, on May 23, 2020, representatives of Globetrotter proposed to the Issuer the following changes to the terms of the Transactions (the “Proposed Enhancements”), which Globetrotter believes will make the Transactions more attractive to the Issuer and its security holders, and therefore more likely to vote their shares in favor of the Proposals: (i) convert the approximately $168 million cash dividend which will be due to the Global Blue shareholders pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement to common stock, (ii) discuss ways to target $1.00+ in value per Issuer warrant paid in connection with closing of the Transactions, (iii) Global Blue shareholders matching share-for-share every Founder share that the Founder agrees to convert to an earn-out share and (iv) collaborate with Issuer to reduce transaction fees and expenses.
