Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.





Stockholders Agreement

At the Closing, the Company, Mr. Yang Wu ("Wu") and Tuscan Holdings Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Sponsor"), entered into a Stockholders Agreement (the "Stockholders Agreement"), which provides that immediately following the Closing, the board of directors of the Company (the "board") shall consist of: (i) Wu, who is the initial Chairman of the board (who is also the Chief Executive Officer of the Company); (ii) Yanzhuan Zheng (who is also the Chief Financial Officer of the Company); (iii) Stanley Whittingham; (iv) Arthur Wong; (v) Craig Webster; (vi) Stephen Vogel; and (vii) Wei Ying. The Stockholders Agreement also provides that the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the "Charter") shall provide that (a) the number of directors which shall constitute the board shall be fixed by and in the manner provided in the Bylaws, except that any increase or decrease in the number of directors shall require the affirmative vote of the Wu Directors (as defined below), and (b) the board shall be divided into three classes designated Class I, Class II and Class III, as follows:

(i) The Class I Directors shall be Stephen Vogel and Wei Ying, each of whom shall initially serve for a term expiring at the first annual meeting of stockholders held after the Closing;





                                       1

(ii) The Class II Directors shall be Stanley Whittingham and Arthur Wong, each of whom shall initially serve for a term expiring at the second annual meeting of stockholders held after the Closing; and

(iii) The Class III Directors shall be Wu, Yanzhuan Zheng and Craig Webster, each of whom shall initially serve for a term expiring at the third annual meeting of stockholders held after the Closing.

Wu has the right, but not the obligation, to nominate for election to the board at every meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which directors are elected a number of individuals (rounded up to the nearest whole number) equal to (a) the total number of directors, multiplied by (b) the quotient obtained by dividing the shares of common stock beneficially owned by Wu by the total number of outstanding shares of common stock (each, a "Wu Director") less the number of Wu Directors then serving on the board and whose terms in office are not expiring at such meeting. Wu, Yanzhuan Zheng, Stanley Whittingham and Arthur Wong were nominated by Wu as the initial Wu Directors.

So long as the Sponsor beneficially owns at least 5,481,441 shares of common stock, the Sponsor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to nominate for election to the board at every meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which directors are elected, one individual (the "Sponsor Director") less the number of Sponsor Directors then serving on the board and whose terms in office are not expiring at such meeting. Stephen Vogel was nominated by the Sponsor as the initial Sponsor Director.

The Business Combination was approved by Tuscan's stockholders at Tuscan's special meeting of the stockholders held on July 21, 2021 (the "Special Meeting"). At the Special Meeting, 20,329,333 shares of common stock were voted in favor of the proposal to approve the Business Combination, 4,667 shares of common stock were voted against the proposal, and holders of 1,632 shares of common stock abstained from voting on the proposal. Tuscan's public stockholders had the opportunity, in connection with the Closing, to convert shares of common stock pursuant to the terms of Tuscan's then-existing certificate of incorporation into cash held in a trust account, and public stockholders holding 90,372 shares of common stock elected to have such shares redeemed for an aggregate amount of approximately $922,698.

At Closing, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Framework Agreement and subscription agreements entered into with the holders of the Bridge Notes and the PIPE Investors:

? The Company issued 210,000,000 shares of common stock to the former owners of

Microvast (the "Microvast Holders") pursuant to the Merger Agreement, which

number is inclusive of the shares being issued to the MPS Investors pursuant to

conversion of notes payable by the Company in the amount of $150,000; and

? The Company contributed approximately $708,000,000 in cash to Microvast to be

retained for working capital purposes.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Microvast Holders and the MPS Investors will have the ability to earn, in the aggregate, an additional 20,000,000 shares of common stock ("Earn-Out Shares") if the daily volume weighted average price of the common stock is greater than or equal to $18.00 for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period (or a change of control of the Company occurs that results in the holders of common stock receiving a per share price equal to or in excess of $18.00), during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Closing Date.
