EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) amends the combined Tender Offer Statement and Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule TO, originally filed by AvePoint, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AvePoint” or the “Company”), with the U.S. Securities and Commission (the “SEC”) on August 27, 2024, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on September 9, 2024 (the “Schedule TO”). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by the Company to purchase for cash up to 17,576,241 of its outstanding public warrants to purchase shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share at a price of $2.50 per warrant, without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated August 27, 2024 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Offer to Purchase”) and the related Letter of Transmittal and Consent, copies of which are filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively.
This Schedule TO is intended to satisfy the reporting requirements of Rules 13e-3 and 13e-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Only those items amended are reported in this Amendment No. 2. Except as amended hereby to the extent specifically provided herein, the information contained in the Schedule TO, including the exhibits thereto, remains unchanged and is hereby expressly incorporated into this Amendment No. 2 by reference. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Schedule TO.
Items 1 through 11
The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Items 1 through 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such items incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
“The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, Eastern Time at the end of the day on September 24, 2024 (the “Expiration Date”), in accordance with its terms. 1,596,314 Warrants were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn from the Offer representing approximately 9.1% of the outstanding Warrants. The Company has accepted all validly tendered Warrants for purchase and expects to settle such purchase promptly. Pursuant to the terms of the Offer, the Company expects to pay an aggregate of approximately $4.0 million in cash to purchase the validly tendered Warrants.
In addition, pursuant to the Consent Solicitation, the Company received the approval of the holders of approximately 9.1% of the outstanding Warrants, which was less than 50.1% of the holders of Warrants required to effect the Warrant Amendment.
On September 26, 2024, the Company issued a press release to announce the results of the Offer. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit (a)(5)(ii) to the Schedule TO and is incorporated herein by reference.”
