THCB Tuscan Holdings Corporation

On April 28, 2021, Tuscan Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Tuscan”), TSCN Merger Sub Inc., a newly formed Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Tuscan (“Merger Sub”), and Microvast, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Microvast”), entered into Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 1, 2021, by and among Tuscan, Merger Sub, and Microvast (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement was previously described in the Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 1, 2021. Capitalized terms used in this Current Report on Form 8-K but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Merger Agreement.

Amendment No. 1 amends and restates Section 10.1(eeeee) of the Merger Agreement to provide that the Termination Date shall be July 31, 2021, provided that if approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal (as defined below) has not been obtained, the Termination Date shall be extended to May 14, 2021 from May 1, 2021.

The foregoing description of Amendment No. 1 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of Amendment No. 1, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

On April 28, 2021, Tuscan convened its annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) virtually, which was adjourned to May 10, 2021 solely with respect to the voting on the proposal to extend the date by which Tuscan must complete its initial business combination from April 30, 2021 to July 31, 2021 (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”). A total of 18,959,154 shares of Tuscan’s Common Stock, or 53.43% of the Common Stock outstanding as of March 17, 2021, the record date for the Annual Meeting, were represented virtually or by proxy at the Annual Meeting.

The following is a brief description of the final voting results for each of the proposals submitted to a vote of the stockholders at the Annual Meeting on April 28, 2021.

The Director Election Proposal — Approval of the election of Amy Butte as a member of Tuscan’s board of directors as a Class I director, to hold office for a period of three years or until her successor is elected and qualified or her earlier resignation or removal. The stockholders approved the proposal to elect Amy Butte as a Class I director, to hold office for a period of three years or until her successor is elected and qualified or her earlier resignation or removal. The voting results were as follows:

The Adjournment Proposal — Approval of the adjournment of the Annual Meeting to the extent there are insufficient votes at the Annual Meeting to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal. The stockholders approved the proposal to adjourn the Annual Meeting to a later date if there had been insufficient votes at the time of the Annual Meeting to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal. The voting results were as follows:

Adjournment with Respect to the Extension Amendment Proposal

The Annual Meeting was adjourned to May 10, 2021 solely with respect to the Extension Amendment Proposal in order to provide additional time for stockholders to consider and vote on such proposal. The Annual Meeting will reconvene at 10:00 a.m. EDT on May 10, 2021, virtually at https://www.cstproxy.com/tuscanholdingscorp/2021.

On April 28, 2021, Tuscan issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing that the Annual Meeting, originally scheduled for 10:00 a.m. EDT on April 28, 2021, was adjourned to allow more time for stockholders to vote on the Extension Amendment Proposal. A copy of the Press Release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

At the time the Annual Meeting was convened on April 28, 2021, a quorum representing at least a majority of shares outstanding on the record date of March 17, 2021 was present in person or by proxy. However, Tuscan had not received the approval of holders of 65% of its shares outstanding on the record date then necessary to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, as provided in Article Sixth of Tuscan’s certificate of incorporation (“Article Sixth”). According to Article Sixth, as of May 1, 2021, the vote required for approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal will be reduced from 65% of the shares outstanding to a majority of the shares outstanding on the record date, based on the following provisions. Article Sixth provides that at any time during the “Target Business Acquisition Period,” any amendment to Article Sixth requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding shares of common stock. The “Target Business Acquisition Period” ends on the “Termination Date,” which is defined in Article Sixth as April 30, 2021. Therefore, the 65% vote threshold in Article Sixth will no longer apply as of May 1, 2021, and the Extension Amendment Proposal may be approved by a majority of the shares outstanding on the record date.
