WHEREAS, the Company and the Warrant Agent are parties to that certain Warrant Agreement dated as of June 11, 2018 (the “Warrant Agreement”; capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Merger Agreement (as defined below));
WHEREAS, New Topco, Global Blue US Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of New Topco (“Merger Sub”), and the Company are parties to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of January 16, 2020 (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving corporation and a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of New Topco (the “Merger”);
WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms and conditions of each of the Warrant Agreement and the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of FPAC Warrants, each FPAC Warrant that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be assumed by New Topco and will automatically and irrevocably be modified to provide that such FPAC Warrant shall no longer entitle the holder thereof to purchase the amount of share(s) of FPAC Common Stock set forth therein and in substitution therefor such FPAC Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire such number of New Topco Shares per FPAC Warrant, subject to adjustments as provided in the Warrant Agreement, that such holder would have received pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement if the FPAC Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to the Transactions; and
WHEREAS, as a result of this Warrant Assumption Agreement, each FPAC Warrant will be exchanged for a warrant to purchase New Topco Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company, New Topco and the Warrant Agent hereby agree as follows:
1. Assignment and Assumption.

As a result of the preceding sentence, upon and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Time, each FPAC Warrant will be exchanged for a warrant to purchase New Topco Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement.
(b) New Topco acknowledges and agrees that, subject to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the FPAC Warrants and this Warrant Assumption Agreement, the Warrant Agreement and the FPAC Warrants shall continue in full force and effect and that all of the Company’s obligations thereunder shall be valid and enforceable as against New Topco upon consummation of the Merger and shall not be impaired or limited by the execution or effectiveness of this Warrant Assumption Agreement.
(c) This Warrant Assumption Agreement is being executed and delivered pursuant and subject to the Warrant Agreement. Nothing in this Warrant Assumption Agreement shall, or shall be deemed to, defeat, limit, alter, impair, enhance or enlarge any right, obligation, claim or remedy created by the Warrant Agreement or any other document or instrument delivered pursuant to or in connection with it.
1
(d) Notwithstanding the arbitration provision set forth in New Topco’s Articles of Association, the choice of law and jurisdiction provisions set forth in the Warrant Agreement and this Warrant Assumption Agreement shall continue to govern the rights and obligations of the Parties to the Warrant Agreement and this Warrant Assumption Agreement in all respects.

2. Miscellaneous.
