RIGHTS AGREEMENT


 


This Rights Agreement (this
“Agreement”) is made as of [*], 2019 between 8i Enterprises Acquisition Corp, a British Virgin Islands company, with
offices at 6 Eu Tong Sen Street, #08-13 The Central, Singapore 059817 (the “Company”), and VStock Transfer, LLC, a
____ limited liability trust company, with offices at 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, New York 11598 (the “Right Agent”).


 


WHEREAS, the Company has
received a firm commitment from Chardan Capital Markets, LLC (“CCM”), as representative of the several underwriters,
to purchase up to an aggregate of 5,000,000 units, each unit (“Unit”) comprised of one ordinary share of the Company,
no par value (the “Ordinary Shares”), one warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one-half of one Ordinary
Share, and one right to receive one-tenth of one Ordinary Share (a “Public Right”) upon the happening of the triggering
event described herein, and in connection therewith, will issue and deliver up to an aggregate of 5,750,000 Public Rights upon
consummation of such public offering, 750,000 of which are attributable to the over-allotment option (“Public Offering”);


 


WHEREAS, simultaneously
with the consummation of the Public Offering, the Company will issue and deliver up to an aggregate of 240,000 rights underlying
private units (the “Private Rights”);


 


WHEREAS, in connection
with the Public Offering, the Company will issue and deliver up to 345,000 rights (underlying unit purchase options) to CCM or
its designees (“CCM Rights” and, together with the Public Rights and the Private Rights, the “Rights”);


  


WHEREAS, the Company has
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Registration Statement on Form S-1, File No. 333-229781
(“Registration Statement”), for the registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Act”)
of, among other securities, the Public Rights and the Ordinary Shares issuable to the holders of the Public Rights;


 


WHEREAS, the Company desires
the Right Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Right Agent is willing to so act, in connection with the issuance, registration,
transfer and exchange of the Rights;


 


WHEREAS, the Company desires
to provide for the form and provisions of the Rights, the terms upon which they shall be issued, and the respective rights, limitation
of rights, and immunities of the Company, the Right Agent, and the holders of the Rights; and


 


WHEREAS, all acts and things
have been done and performed which are necessary to make the Rights, when executed on behalf of the Company and countersigned by
or on behalf of the Right Agent, as provided herein, the valid, binding and legal obligations of the Company, and to authorize
the execution and delivery of this Agreement.


 


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:


 


	1.	Appointment of Right Agent. The Company hereby appoints the Right Agent to act as agent for the Company for the Rights, and the Right Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the same in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.


 


	2.	Rights.


 


	 	2.1.	Form of Right. Each Right shall be issued in registered form only, shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, the provisions of which are incorporated herein and shall be signed by, or bear the facsimile signature of, the Chairman of the Board or Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer, Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company and shall bear a facsimile of the Company’s seal. In the event the person whose facsimile signature has been placed upon any Right shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which such person signed the Right before such Right is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he or she had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance.


  






     


     


    

 


	 	2.2.	Effect of Countersignature. Unless and until countersigned by the Right Agent pursuant to this Agreement, a Right shall be invalid and of no effect and may not be exchanged for Ordinary Shares. 


 


	 	2.3.	Registration.


 


	 	2.3.1.	Right Register. The Right Agent shall maintain books (“Right Register”) for the registration of original issuance and the registration of transfer of the Rights. Upon the initial issuance of the Rights, the Right Agent shall issue and register the Rights in the names of the respective holders thereof in such denominations and otherwise in accordance with instructions delivered to the Right Agent by the Company.


 


	 	2.3.2.	Registered Holder. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Right, the Company and the Right Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name such Right shall be registered upon the Right Register (“registered holder”) as the absolute owner of such Right and of each Right represented thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on the Right Certificate made by anyone other than the Company or the Right Agent), for the purpose of the exchange thereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Right Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


	 	2.4.	Detachability of Rights. The securities comprising the Units, including the Rights, will not be separately transferable until the ninetieth (90th) day after the date hereof unless CCM informs the Company of its decision to allow earlier separate trading, but in no event will separate trading of the securities comprising the Units begin until (i) the Company files a Current Report on Form 8-K which includes an audited balance sheet reflecting the receipt by the Company of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering including the proceeds received by the Company from the exercise of the over-allotment option, if the over-allotment option is exercised on the date hereof, and (ii) the Company issues a press release and files a Current Report on Form 8-K announcing when such separate trading shall begin.


 


	3.	Terms and Exchange of Rights.


 


	 	3.1.	Rights. Each Right shall entitle the holder thereof to receive one-tenth of one Ordinary Share upon the happening of the Exchange Event (described below). No additional consideration shall be paid by a holder of Rights in order to receive his, her or its Ordinary Shares upon the Exchange Event as the purchase price for such Ordinary Shares has been included in the purchase price for the Units. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Rights or issue fractional Ordinary Shares.


 


	 	3.2.	Exchange Event. The Exchange Event shall be the Company’s consummation of an initial Business Combination (as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association).


 


	 	3.3.	Exchange of Rights.


 


	 	3.3.1.	
        Issuance of Certificates.
As soon as practicable upon the occurrence of the Exchange Event, the Company shall direct holders of the Rights to return their
Rights Certificates to the Right Agent. If the Company is not the surviving entity in a Business Combination, the holder of Rights
must affirmatively elect to such conversion. Upon receipt of a valid Rights Certificate, the Company shall issue to the registered
holder of such Right(s) a certificate or certificates for the number of full Ordinary Shares to which he, she or it is entitled,
registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any provision contained
in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Rights. The Company shall not
issue fractional shares upon exchange of Rights. At the time of the Exchange Event, the Company will instruct the Right Agent
to round up to the nearest whole Ordinary Share or otherwise inform it how fractional shares will be addressed in accordance with
British Virgin Islands law.



 



     


     


    




 


	 	3.3.2.	Valid Issuance. All Ordinary Shares issued upon an Exchange Event in conformity with this Agreement shall be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.


 


	 	3.3.3.	Date of Issuance. Each person in whose name any such certificate for Ordinary Shares is issued shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date of the Exchange Event, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate.


 


	 	3.3.4.	Company Not Surviving Following Exchange Event. If the Exchange Event results in the Company not continuing as a publicly held reporting entity, the definitive agreement will provide for the holders of Rights to receive the same per share consideration as the holders of the Ordinary Shares will receive in with the Exchange Event, for the number of shares such holder is entitled to pursuant to Section 3.1 above.


 


	 	3.4.	Duration of Rights. If an Exchange Event does not occur within the time period set forth in the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, as the same may be amended from time to time, the Rights shall expire and shall be worthless. 


 


	4.	Transfer and Exchange of Rights.


 


	 	4.1.	Registration of Transfer. The Right Agent shall register the transfer, from time to time, of any outstanding Right upon the Right Register, upon surrender of such Right for transfer, properly endorsed with signatures properly guaranteed and accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer. Upon any such transfer, a new Right representing an equal aggregate number of Rights shall be issued and the old Right shall be cancelled by the Right Agent. The Rights so cancelled shall be delivered by the Right Agent to the Company from time to time upon request.


 


	 	4.2.	Procedure for Surrender of Rights. Rights may be surrendered to the Right Agent, together with a written request for exchange or transfer, and thereupon the Right Agent shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new Rights as requested by the registered holder of the Rights so surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number of Rights; provided, however, that in the event that a Right surrendered for transfer bears a restrictive legend, the Right Agent shall not cancel such Right and issue new Rights in exchange therefor until the Right Agent has received an opinion of counsel for the Company stating that such transfer may be made and indicating whether the new Rights must also bear a restrictive legend.


 


	 	4.3.	Fractional Rights. The Right Agent shall not be required to effect any registration of transfer or exchange which will result in the issuance of a Right Certificate for a fraction of a Right.


 


	 	4.4.	Service Charges. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Rights.


 


	 	4.5.	Right Execution and Countersignature. The Right Agent is hereby authorized to countersign and to deliver, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Rights required to be issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4, and the Company, whenever required by the Right Agent, will supply the Right Agent with Rights duly executed on behalf of the Company for such purpose.


 


	5.	Other Provisions Relating to Rights of Holders of Rights.


 


	 	5.1.	No Rights as Shareholder. Until exchange of a Right for Ordinary Shares as provided for herein, a Right does not entitle the registered holder thereof to any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends, or other distributions, exercise any preemptive rights to vote or to consent or to receive notice as shareholders in respect of the meetings of shareholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other matter.


 




     


     


    




	 	5.2.	Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Rights. If any Right is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, the Company and the Right Agent may on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as they may in their discretion impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Right, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Right of like denomination, tenor, and date as the Right so lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed. Any such new Right shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Right shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.


 


	 	5.3.	Reservation of Ordinary Shares. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares that will be sufficient to permit the exchange of all outstanding Rights issued pursuant to this Agreement.


 


	6.	Concerning the Right Agent and Other Matters.


 


	 	6.1.	Payment of Taxes. The Company will from time to time promptly pay all taxes and charges that may be imposed upon the Company or the Right Agent in respect of the issuance or delivery of Ordinary Shares upon the exchange of Rights, but the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in respect of the Rights or such shares.


 


	 	6.2.	Resignation, Consolidation, or Merger of Right Agent.


 


	 	6.2.1.	Appointment of Successor Right Agent. The Right Agent, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may resign its duties and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder after giving sixty (60) days’ notice in writing to the Company. If the office of the Right Agent becomes vacant by resignation or incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company shall appoint in writing a successor Right Agent in place of the Right Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the Right Agent or by the holder of the Right (who shall, with such notice, submit his, her or its Right for inspection by the Company), then the holder of any Right may apply to the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York for the appointment of a successor Right Agent at the Company’s cost. Any successor Right Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such court, shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York, in good standing and having its principal office in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. After appointment, any successor Right Agent shall be vested with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations of its predecessor Right Agent with like effect as if originally named as Right Agent hereunder, without any further act or deed; but if for any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate, the predecessor Right Agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an instrument transferring to such successor Right Agent all the authority, powers, and rights of such predecessor Right Agent hereunder; and upon request of any successor Right Agent the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor Right Agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations.


 


	 	6.2.2.	Notice of Successor Right Agent. In the event a successor Right Agent shall be appointed, the Company shall give notice thereof to the predecessor Right Agent and the transfer agent for the Ordinary Shares not later than the effective date of any such appointment.


 


	 	6.2.3.	Merger or Consolidation of Right Agent. Any corporation into which the Right Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Right Agent shall be a party shall be the successor Right Agent under this Agreement without any further act.


 






     


     


    

 


	 	6.3.	Fees and Expenses of Right Agent.


 


	 	6.3.1.	Remuneration. The Company agrees to pay the Right Agent reasonable remuneration for its services as such Right Agent hereunder and will reimburse the Right Agent upon demand for all expenditures that the Right Agent may reasonably incur in the execution of its duties hereunder.


  


	 	6.3.2.	Further Assurances. The Company agrees to perform, execute, acknowledge, and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged, and delivered all such further and other acts, instruments, and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Right Agent for the carrying out or performing of the provisions of this Agreement.


 


	 	6.4.	Liability of Right Agent.


 


	 	6.4.1.	Reliance on Company Statement. Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, the Right Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a statement signed by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer and delivered to the Right Agent. The Right Agent may rely upon such statement for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.


 


	 	6.4.2.	Indemnity. The Right Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The Company agrees to indemnify the Right Agent and save it harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments, costs and reasonable counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by the Right Agent in the execution of this Agreement except as a result of the Right Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, or bad faith.


 


	 	6.4.3.	Exclusions. The Right Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the validity of this Agreement or with respect to the validity or execution of any Right (except its countersignature thereof); nor shall it be responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any Right; nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Right or as to whether any Ordinary Shares will, when issued, be valid and fully paid and nonassessable.


 


	 	6.5.	Acceptance of Agency. The Right Agent hereby accepts the agency established by this Agreement and agrees to perform the same upon the terms and conditions herein set forth.


 


	 	6.6.	Waiver. The Right 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 of, the Trust Account (as defined in that certain Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between the Company and the Right Agent as trustee thereunder) and hereby agrees not to seek recourse, reimbursement, payment or satisfaction for any Claim against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever.
