Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

As previously disclosed in its Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K, furnished by the Issuer with the SEC on April 20, 2020, the Issuer (then named Eros International Plc) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) with STX Filmworks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“STX”), England Holdings 2, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (“England Holdings 2”), and England Merger 1 Corp. (f/k/a England Merger Corp.), a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of England Holdings 2 (“Merger Sub”). On July 30, 2020, Merger Sub merged with and into STX, with STX surviving as the surviving corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of England Holdings 2 (the “Merger”), and the Issuer changed its name to Eros STX Global Corporation.

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, each share of STX preferred stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) was converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive a number of contractual contingent value rights (“CVRs”), without interest, based on the liquidation value and, as applicable, the exit payment, of the respective share of STX preferred stock (the “Merger Consideration”), and such CVRs in turn entitle the holder thereof to receive, on the Settlement Date (as defined below), a number of Class A Ordinary Shares of the Issuer to be calculated in accordance with certain agreements governing the CVRs entered into concurrently with the consummation of the Merger (the “CVR Agreements”). The aggregate number of Class A Ordinary Shares to be issued to the former STX stockholders upon settlement of the CVRs is referred to herein as the “Aggregate Merger Consideration CVR Shares.”

Pursuant to the CVR Agreements, the applicable CVRs issued as Merger Consideration will be settled in Issuer Class A Ordinary Shares on the date (the “Settlement Date”) that is the earlier to occur of (1) the later to occur of (a) the first time that the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to the CVRs have been registered for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and (b) the 75th day after the Effective Time and (2) the date that is six months after the Effective Time. Each CVR will entitle the holder thereof to receive, on the Settlement Date, a number of Class A Ordinary Shares allocated from the Aggregate Merger Consideration CVR Shares based on the respective classes of STX preferred stock in respect of which the applicable CVRs were issued.

Further, on April 17, 2020, the Issuer entered into a Subscription Agreement (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “PIPE Subscription Agreement”) with certain investors, including the Reporting Persons, pursuant to which such investors agreed to purchase newly issued Class A Ordinary Shares from the Issuer for an aggregate purchase price of $75 million in a private placement transaction (the “PIPE Financing”). Concurrently with its execution of the PIPE Subscription Agreement, the Reporting Persons also executed a lock-up agreement (the “PIPE Lock-Up Agreement”) pursuant to which the Reporting Persons agreed not to, without the prior written consent of the Issuer, directly or indirectly transfer the Class A Ordinary Shares issued to the Reporting Persons in the PIPE Financing and the Merger for a period of 75 days from the Effective Time. On July 30, 2020, substantially concurrently with the Effective Time, the Issuer consummated the PIPE Financing. The Reporting Persons purchased 7,965,334.0 Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to PIPE Financing for $24,533,229.42. Additionally, in connection with the PIPE Financing, the Reporting Persons purchased 24,533 shares of Class E preferred stock of STX for $245.33 (the “Additional STX Stock.” At the Effective Time, the Additional STX Stock was converted into the right to receive 24,533 Class E CVRs.

Investor Rights Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement and Amended Articles of Association

In connection with the consummation of the PIPE Financing and as contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the PIPE Subscription Agreement, substantially concurrently with the Effective Time, the Issuer, certain shareholders of the Issuer affiliated with Kishore Lulla and his family (collectively, the “Founder Group”) and the investors under the PIPE Subscription Agreement entered into an Investors’ Rights Agreement (as defined below) and a Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below), and the Issuer filed the Amended Articles of Association (as defined below) with the Companies Registry of the Isle of Man.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, the Issuer and certain former stockholders of STX, including the Reporting Persons, who purchased Class A Ordinary Shares in the PIPE Financing entered into an Investors’ Rights Agreement (the “Investors’ Rights Agreement”), in substantially the form attached to the Merger Agreement.

The Investors’ Rights Agreement provides that, until the third anniversary of the Effective Time, (1) the Reporting Persons will have the right, for so long as the Reporting Persons beneficially owns at least 50% of the number of Class A Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by it as of the Effective Time (giving effect, prior to the Settlement Date, to the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the CVRs issued to the Reporting Persons pursuant to the Merger Agreement), to nominate for election or appointment to the Board each successor to or replacement for an STX Director, and (2) the Eros Founder Group will have the right, for so long as the Eros Founder Group continues to beneficially own at least 50% of the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Eros Founder Group as of the Effective Time (excluding for this purpose shares issued in respect of new equity awards granted at or immediately after the Effective Time), to nominate for election or appointment to the Board each successor to or replacement for a Founder Group Director. In addition, for so long as the Eros Founder Group has the foregoing Board nomination right, with respect to all other directorships to be elected in an election of directors to the Board, the Eros Founder Group shall vote its shares proportionately to the vote of all holders of shares who are not members of the England Founder Group; provided that, for purposes of determining any such proportional vote prior to the settlement date of the CVRs, CVRs shall be deemed to be outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares and to have been voted in such election.

In addition, for so long as the Reporting Persons have the foregoing Board nomination right, the hiring or termination of the chief executive officer, chief financial officer or president (including any co-president) of the Issuer will require the approval of a majority of the Board, including at least one director nominated by the Reporting Persons.

Immediately following the consummation of the PIPE Financing and entry into the Investors’ Rights Agreement, the required parties to the Investors’ Rights Agreement entered into an amendment to the Investors’ Rights Agreement (“Amendment No. 1 to the Investors’ Rights Agreement”).

Amendment No. 1 to the Investors’ Rights Agreement amends the Investors’ Rights Agreement as follows:

•

For so long as the Founder Group has the right to nominate directors pursuant to the Investors’ Rights Agreement (as amended), the Remuneration Committee of the board of directors of the combined company (the “Board”) will consist of not more than four directors, of which two shall be directors nominated by the Founder Group and, for so long as affiliates of the Reporting Persons will have the right to nominate directors pursuant to the Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement, two out of four members of the Remuneration Committee shall be directors nominated by the Reporting Persons.

•

In lieu of requiring (1) the approval of at least one director nominated by the Founder Group and at least one director nominated by the Reporting Persons with respect to any proposed hiring or termination of the chief executive officer, chief financial officer or president (including any co-president) of the combined company and (2) the approval of at least one director nominated by the Founder Group with respect to adoption of the annual business plan (including operating budget) of the Issuer and its subsidiaries, Amendment No. 1 to the Investors’ Rights Agreement provides instead that, until the

earliest of (x) the third anniversary of the Effective Time, (y) the first such time after the Settlement Date that the Reporting Persons cease to beneficially own 50% of the Class A Ordinary Shares owned by it as of the Effective Time (giving effect to the CVRs) or (z) the first such time that the Founder Group ceases to beneficially own 50% of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B ordinary shares of the Issuer owned by it as of the Effective Time, the approval of a two-thirds majority of the Board will be required to take any of the actions described in the foregoing clauses (1) and (2) or to enter into any agreement increasing the combined company’s available debt for borrowed money to an amount greater than the greater of (a) $552 million and (b) an amount that would cause the net debt to be greater than five times the Adjusted EBITDA (as that term is defined in the Issuer’s Transition Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on October 30, 2020) of the Issuer for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters for which financial statements are available (giving pro forma effect to the borrowing and the use of proceeds of such borrowing).

In addition, as required by the Merger Agreement, the Issuer convened an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders on June 29, 2020 at which the requisite percentage of shareholders approved Amended Articles of Association of the Issuer (the “Amended Articles of Association”). By virtue of the Investors’ Rights Agreement and the Amended Articles of Association, for a period lasting up to three years following the consummation of the Merger, the Founders Group has the right to nominate four out of nine directors on the Issuer’s Board of Directors and the Reporting Persons have the right to nominate four out of nine directors on the Issuer’s Board of Directors. In addition, during this period, the Issuer’s Board of Directors will not be permitted to take certain significant corporate actions, including (i) hiring or terminating any of the Issuer’s chief executive officer, chief financial officer or president (or co-presidents), (ii) adopting the Issuer’s annual business plan and budget and (iii) entering into any agreement increasing our available debt for borrowed money to an amount greater than the greater of (A) $552 million and (B) an amount that would cause the net debt to be greater than five times adjusted EBITDA for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters for which financial statements are available, without the approval of at least two thirds of the directors on the Issuer’s Board of Directors.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, the Issuer and the former stockholders of STX entitled to receive CVRs in the Merger and/or who are purchasers in the PIPE Financing, including the Reporting Persons, entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement” and, together with the Merger Agreement, the Amended Articles of Association, the CVR Agreements, the PIPE Subscription Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement and Amendment No. 1 to the Investors’ Rights Agreement, the “Agreements”), in substantially the form attached to the Merger Agreement.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuer is required as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event later than the 60^th day following the Effective Time, to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form F-1 or Form F-3 (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) providing for the resale from time to time of all Class A Ordinary Shares (1) issued at the Effective Time to the former STX stockholders who purchased Class A Ordinary Shares in the PIPE Financing and (2) to be issued on the Settlement Date upon settlement of the CVRs. The Issuer must use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the earliest of the date as of which all Class A Ordinary Shares covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold, such shorter period as may be agreed by all of the former STX stockholders holding Class A Ordinary Shares then covered by the Shelf Registration Statement or the four-year anniversary of the date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement.

The former STX stockholders will have the right, from time to time, to cause the Issuer to undertake underwritten offerings or sales of Class A Ordinary Shares covered by the Shelf Registration Statement having an aggregate value of at least $20 million (each, a “Shelf Take-Down”), in each case at the expense of the Issuer. The Issuer will not be obligated in any calendar year to effect more than four block trade Shelf Take-Downs or one Shelf Take-Down that is not a block trade.

The descriptions of the Agreements set forth above in this Item 6 do not purport to be a complete description of the terms thereof and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreements, which have been attached hereto as Exhibits, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Except as described above or elsewhere in this Statement or incorporated by reference in this Statement, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between the Reporting Persons or, to the best of their knowledge, any of the persons listed in Schedule I hereto and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures,
