Exhibit 10.3

 

STOCK ESCROW AGREEMENT

 

STOCK ESCROW AGREEMENT, dated as of November 18, 2019 (“Agreement”), by and
among GREENVISION ACQUISITION CORP., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
GREENVISION CAPITAL HOLDINGS LLC, a Delaware corporation and stockholder of the
Company (“Sponsor”), ZHIGENG FU “Fu”), QI YE “Ye”, HE YU (“Yu”) and JONATHAN
INTRATER (“Intrater”) and CONTINENTAL STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY, a New York
corporation (“Escrow Agent”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company was formed by the Sponsor for the purpose of completing a
merger, stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization,
reorganization or other similar business combination (a “Business Combination”)
with one or more businesses or entities.

 

WHEREAS, the Company has entered into an Underwriting Agreement, dated November
18, 2019 (“Underwriting Agreement”), with I-BANKERS SECURITIES
INCORPORATED. (the “Representative”) acting as representative of the several
underwriters (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which, among other
matters, the Underwriters have agreed to purchase 5,000,000 units (“Units”) of
the Company, plus an additional 750,000 Units if the Representative exercises
the over-allotment option in full. Each Unit consists of one share of the
Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Common Stock”), and one
warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock (“Warrant”), all as more fully
described in the Company’s final Prospectus, dated November 18, 2019
(“Prospectus”) comprising part of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form
S-1 (File No. 333-234282) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(“Registration Statement”), declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission on November 18, 2019 (“Effective Date”).

 

WHEREAS, in connection with the initial capitalization of the Company the
Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 1,437,500 shares of Common Stock, of which
30,000 shares have been transferred to each of Yu and Intrater.

 

WHEREAS, the Sponsor has agreed as a condition of the sale of the Units to
deposit its 1,377,500 shares of Common Stock of the Company in escrow with the
Escrow Agent as hereinafter provided.

 

WHEREAS, each of Fu, Ye, Yu and Intrater (collectively referred to sometimes as
the “Executives”) own the shares of Common Stock of the Company set forth on
Exhibit A annexed hereto, and have each agreed to deposit such shares of the
Company with the Escrow Agent as hereinafter provided.

 

WHEREAS, the Company, the Executives and the Sponsor desire that the Escrow
Agent accept the shares of Common Stock, into escrow, to be held and disbursed
as hereinafter provided.

 

IT IS AGREED:

 

1. Appointment of Escrow Agent. The Company, the Executives and the Sponsor
hereby appoint the Escrow Agent to act in accordance with and subject to the
terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment and
agrees to act in accordance with and subject to such terms.

 

2. Deposit of Shares. On or before the Effective Date, the Sponsor and the
Executives shall have delivered to the Escrow Agent certificates (and applicable
stock powers if requested by the Escrow Agent) representing such Sponsor’s and
Executive’s respective shares of Common Stock set forth on Exhibit A hereto
(“Escrow Shares”), to be held and disbursed subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement. The Sponsor acknowledges that the certificate representing
such Sponsor’s shares of Common Stock bears restrictive legends to reflect the
deposit of such shares under this Agreement.

 

3. Disbursement of the Escrow Shares.

 

3.1 Notwithstanding Section 2, if the Underwriters do not exercise their
over-allotment option to purchase an additional 750,000 Units of the Company in
full within 45 days of the date of the Prospectus (as described in the
Underwriting Agreement), each of the Sponsor and the Executive’s agree that the
Escrow Agent shall return to the Company for cancellation, at no cost, the
number of Escrow Shares held by each such holder determined by multiplying (a)
the product of (i) 750,000 multiplied by (ii) a fraction, (x) the numerator of
which is the number of Escrow Shares held by each such holder, and (y) the
denominator of which is the total number of Escrow Shares, by (b) a fraction,
(i) the numerator of which is 750,000 minus the number of shares of Common Stock
purchased by the Underwriters upon the exercise of their over-allotment option,
and (ii) the denominator of which is 750,000. The Company shall promptly provide
written notice to the Escrow Agent of the expiration or termination of the
Underwriters’ over-allotment option and the number of Units, if any, purchased
by the Underwriters in connection with their exercise thereof.

 

 

 

 

3.2 Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Escrow Agent shall hold the shares
remaining after any cancellation required pursuant to Section 3.1 above (such
remaining shares to be referred to herein as the “Escrow Shares”) until (i) with
respect to 50% of the Escrow Shares, the earlier of (x) six (6) months after the
date of the consummation of an initial Business Combination and (y) the date on
which the closing price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share
(as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations and
recapitalizations) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period
following the consummation of the Business Combination and (ii) with respect to
the remaining 50% of the Escrow Shares, six (6) months after the date of the
consummation of an initial Business Combination (such period of time during
which the Escrow Shares are held in escrow, the “Escrow Period”). The Company
shall promptly provide notice of the consummation of an initial Business
Combination to the Escrow Agent. Upon completion of the Escrow Period, the
Escrow Agent shall disburse such amount of each Sponsor’s Escrow Shares to such
Sponsor; provided, however, that if, within the Escrow Period, the Company (or
the surviving entity) subsequently consummates a liquidation, merger, stock
exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the stockholders
of such entity having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for
cash, securities or other property, then the Escrow Agent will, upon receipt of
a notice executed by the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer or other
authorized officer of the Company, in form reasonably acceptable to the Escrow
Agent, certifying that such transaction is then being consummated or such
conditions have been achieved, as applicable, release the Escrow Shares to the
Sponsor. The Escrow Agent shall have no further duties hereunder after the
disbursement of the Escrow Shares in accordance with this Section 3.2.

 

3.3 If the Escrow Agent is notified by the Company pursuant to Section 6.7
hereof that the Company is being liquidated, then the Escrow Agent shall deliver
the certificates representing the Escrow Shares to the Sponsor and Executives
promptly after the public stockholders are paid the liquidating distributions
and shall have no further duties hereunder.

 

4. Rights of Sponsor in Escrow Shares.

 

4.1 Voting Rights as a Stockholder. Subject to the terms of the Insider Letters
described in Section 4.4 hereof and except as herein provided, the Sponsor shall
retain all of their rights as stockholders of the Company as long as any shares
are held in escrow pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation,
the right to vote such shares.

 

4.2 Dividends and Other Distributions in Respect of the Escrow Shares. For as
long as any shares are held in escrow pursuant to this Agreement, all dividends
payable in cash with respect to the Escrow Shares shall be paid to the Sponsor,
but all dividends payable in stock or other non-cash property (“Non-Cash
Dividends”) shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent to hold in accordance with
the terms hereof. As used herein, the term “Escrow Shares” shall be deemed to
include the Non-Cash Dividends distributed thereon, if any.

 

4.3 Restrictions on Transfer. During the Escrow Period, the only permitted
transfers of the Escrow Shares will be (i) to the Sponsor and the Company’s
officers, directors, employees, consultants or their affiliates, (ii) to a
Sponsor’s stockholders, partners or members upon the Sponsor’s liquidation,
(iii) by bona fide gift to a member of the Sponsor’s immediate family or to a
trust, the beneficiary of which is the Sponsor or a member of the Sponsor’s
immediate family for estate planning purposes, (iv) by virtue of the laws of
descent and distribution upon death of the Sponsor, (v) pursuant to a qualified
domestic relations order binding on the Sponsor, (vi) to the Company for no
value for cancellation in connection with the consummation of a Business
Combination or (vii) by private sales of the Escrow Shares made at or prior to
the consummation of a Business Combination at prices no greater than the price
at which the Escrow Shares were originally purchased; provided, however, that
except for clause (vi) or with the Company’s prior written consent, such
permitted transfers may be implemented only upon the respective transferee’s
written agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and
of the subscription agreements executed by the Sponsor or executives, as the
case may be.

 

4.4 Subscription Agreements. Each of the Sponsor and Executives has executed a
letter agreement with the Company and the Representative, dated as of the date
hereto, the form of which is filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement
(“Subscription Agreement”), respecting the purchase of the securities of the
Company owned by them, and the rights and obligations of such holder in certain
events, including, but not limited to, the liquidation of the Company.

5. Concerning the Escrow Agent.

 

5.1 Good Faith Reliance. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action
taken or omitted by it in good faith and in the exercise of its own best
judgment, and may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any
order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including
counsel chosen by the Escrow Agent), statement, instrument, report or other
paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and
effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of
any information therein contained) which is believed by the Escrow Agent in good
faith to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or
persons. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any
waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement unless
evidenced by a writing delivered to the Escrow Agent signed by the proper party
or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent are affected, unless
it shall have given its prior written consent thereto.

 

5.2 Indemnification. Subject to Section 5.8 below, the Escrow Agent shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against any expenses,
including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, or loss suffered by the
Escrow Agent in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding involving
any claim which in any way, directly or indirectly, arises out of or relates to
this Agreement, the services of the Escrow Agent hereunder, or the Escrow Shares
held by it hereunder, other than expenses or losses arising from the gross
negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent. Promptly after the
receipt by the Escrow Agent of notice of any demand or claim or the commencement
of any action, suit or proceeding, the Escrow Agent shall notify the other
parties hereto in writing. In the event of the receipt of such notice, the
Escrow Agent, in its sole discretion, may commence an action in the nature of
interpleader in an appropriate court to determine ownership or disposition of
the Escrow Shares or it may deposit the Escrow Shares with the clerk of any
appropriate court or it may retain the Escrow Shares pending receipt of a final,
non-appealable order of a court having jurisdiction over all of the parties
hereto directing to whom and under what circumstances the Escrow Shares are to
be disbursed and delivered. The provisions of this Section 5.2 shall survive in
the event the Escrow Agent resigns or is discharged pursuant to Sections 5.5 or
5.6 below.

 

5.3 Compensation. Subject to Section 5.8 below, the Escrow Agent shall be
entitled to reasonable compensation from the Company for all services rendered
by it hereunder. The Escrow Agent shall also be entitled to reimbursement from
the Company for all reasonable expenses paid or incurred by it in the
administration of its duties hereunder including, but not limited to, all
counsel, advisors’ and agents’ fees and disbursements and all taxes or other
governmental charges.

 

5.4 Further Assurances. From time to time on and after the date hereof, the
Company, the Executives and the Sponsor shall deliver or cause to be delivered
to the Escrow Agent such further documents and instruments and shall do or cause
to be done such further acts as the Escrow Agent shall reasonably request to
carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this Agreement, to
evidence compliance herewith or to assure itself that it is protected in acting
hereunder.

 

5.5 Resignation. The Escrow Agent may resign at any time and be discharged from
its duties as escrow agent hereunder by its giving the other parties hereto
written notice and such resignation shall become effective as hereinafter
provided. Such resignation shall become effective at such time that the Escrow
Agent shall turn the Escrow Shares over to a successor escrow agent appointed by
the Company and approved by the Representative, which approval will not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If no new escrow agent is so
appointed within the 60-day period following the giving of such notice of
resignation, the Escrow Agent may deposit the Escrow Shares with any court it
reasonably deems appropriate in the State of New York.

 

5.6 Discharge of Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall resign and be discharged
from its duties as escrow agent hereunder if so requested in writing at any time
by all of the other parties hereto; provided, however, that such resignation
shall become effective only upon the appointment of a successor escrow agent
selected by the Company and approved by the Representative, which approval will
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

5.7 Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Escrow Agent
shall not be relieved from liability hereunder for its own gross negligence,
fraud or willful misconduct.

5.8 Waiver. The Escrow Agent hereby waives any right of set-off or any other
right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”) in, or to any distribution
