This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) to the Investment Management Trust Agreement (as defined below) is made by and between TPG Pace Holdings Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation (the “Trustee”). Capitalized terms used herein but not specifically defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Investment Management Trust Agreement.
WHEREAS, the Company and the Trustee are parties to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of June 27, 2017 (the “Investment Management Trust Agreement”);
WHEREAS, Section 1(i) of the Investment Management Trust Agreement sets forth the terms that govern the liquidation of the Trust Account under circumstances described therein;
WHEREAS, at an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Company held on September 20, 2019, the Company’s shareholders approved (i) a proposal (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”) to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Articles”) to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination (the “Extension”) from September 30, 2019 to December 31, 2019 (the “Extended Date”) and (ii) a proposal to extend the date on which to commence liquidating the Trust Account established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering in the event the Company has not consummated a business combination to the Extended Date; and
WHEREAS, on the date hereof, the Company is filing the amendment to the Company’s Articles with the Cayman Islands.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:
| 1. | Section 1(i) of the Investment Management Trust Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: |
“(i) Commence liquidation of the Trust Account only after and promptly after (x) receipt of, and only in accordance with, the terms of a letter from the Company (“Termination Letter”) in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as either Exhibit A or Exhibit B signed on behalf of the Company by its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, or Chairman of the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company or other authorized officer of the Company, and complete the liquidation of the Trust Account and distribute the Property in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to fund its working capital requirements, subject to an annual limit of $750,000, and/or to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest that may be released to the Company to pay dissolution expenses), only as directed in the Termination Letter and the other documents referred to therein; provided, that, in the case a Termination Letter in the form of Exhibit A is received, or (y) on December 31, 2019, if a Termination Letter has not been received by the Trustee prior to such date, in which case the Trust Account shall be liquidated in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Termination Letter attached as Exhibit B and the Property in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to fund its working capital requirements, subject to an annual limit of $750,000, and/or to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest that may be released to the Company to pay dissolution expenses), shall be distributed to the Public Shareholders of record as of such date; provided, however, that in the event the Trustee receives a Termination Letter in a form substantially similar to Exhibit B hereto, or if the Trustee begins to liquidate the Property because it has received no such Termination Letter by December 31, 2019, the Trustee shall keep the Trust Account open until twelve (12) months following the date the Property has been distributed to the Public Shareholders;”

A facsimile signature shall be deemed to be an original signature for purposes of this Amendment. |
