Our units began to trade on the Nasdaq Capital

began separate trading on Nasdaq on July 15, 2019, under the symbols “AGBA”, “AGBAW” and “AGBAR”,
respectively.
Holders of Record
As of February

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. 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 May 16, 2019, we consummated our IPO of 4,600,000
Units, which includes the full exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option of 600,000 Units. Each Unit consists of one Ordinary
Share, one warrant entitling its holder to purchase one-half of one Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per whole share, 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 $46,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the
private placement of 225,000 units at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $2,250,000. The net proceeds from
the sale of Units in the IPO (including the over-allotment option units) and the Private Placement were placed in a trust account established
for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders.
The private units are identical to the units sold
in the IPO except that the 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 our Sponsor 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, our Sponsor 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, each as described above) until the completion of the Company’s initial business combination.
The Sponsor was granted certain demand and piggyback registration rights in connection with the Private Units.
As of May 16, 2019, a total of $46,000,000 of
proceeds from the IPO (including the over-allotment) and the Private Placement were in a trust account established for the benefit of
the Company’s public shareholders.
14
We paid approximately $383,781 for other costs
and expenses related to our formation and the IPO, and a total of $1,150,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions, not including
the 4.0% deferred underwriting commission payable at the consummation of business combination. Pursuant to our agreement with the underwriters,
the amount of deferred discounts and commissions paid to Maxim will be reduced by $0.20 (2.0%) for each unit that is redeemed by shareholders
in connection with an initial business combination. If the business combination is not consummated, the deferred amount will be forfeited
and Maxim will not be entitled to any interest accrued on the deferred amount.
For a description of the use of the proceeds generated
in our initial public offering, see below Part II, Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations of this Form 10-K.
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer
