Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously reported, EdtechX Holdings Acquisition Corp. II (the “Company”) has commenced the process of liquidating the Company’s trust account established in connection with its initial public. offering and redeeming the Company’s Class A ordinary shares issued in such offering (“Public Shares”), in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (“Charter”). Pursuant to the Charter, all outstanding Public Shares will be redeemed at a per share redemption price of approximately $10.34 per Public Share (the “Redemption Amount”).

The redemption will occur on or about Thursday, August 31, 2023. As of the close of business on such date, the Public Shares will be deemed cancelled and will represent only the right to receive the per share Redemption Amount. The Company’s officers, directors, initial stockholders, and the purchasers of warrants (“Private Warrants”) in the private placement that occurred simultaneously with the Company’s initial public offering, have waived their redemption rights with respect to the common stock issued prior to the Company’s initial public offering and the Private Warrants. The loans made by the Company’s initial stockholders in connection with the previously-disclosed extension of time to complete an initial business combination will not be repaid and will be forgiven except to the extent of any remaining funds held outside of the trust account. There will be no redemption or liquidating distribution with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless. The last trading date of the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market is expected to be Thursday, August 31, 2023.

Record holders of Public Shares may redeem their shares for their per share Redemption Amount by delivering their Public Shares to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent. Beneficial owners of Public Shares held in “street name,” however, will not need to take any action in order to receive the redemption amount.

On August 30, 2023, the Company issued a press release announcing the timing and mechanics of the liquidation of the trust account. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
