Merger Agreement
On March 31, 2022, 10X Capital Venture Acquisition Corp. II, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“10X II”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among 10X II, 10X Magic First Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of 10X II (“First Merger Sub”), 10X Magic Second Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of 10X II (“Second Merger Sub” and together with First Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs” and each individually, a “Merger Sub”) and Prime Blockchain Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PrimeBlock”).
The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby were approved by the boards of directors of each of 10X II and PrimeBlock.
The Business Combination
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, 10X II will, subject to obtaining the required shareholder approvals and at least one day prior to the First Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), change its jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as a Cayman Islands exempted company and continuing and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”). Following the Domestication, the following transactions will occur: (i) First Merger Sub will merge with and into PrimeBlock (the “First Merger”), with PrimeBlock surviving the First Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of 10X II (PrimeBlock, in its capacity as the surviving corporation of the First Merger, is referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”), and (b) immediately following the First Merger, and as part of an integrated transaction with the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into Second Merger Sub (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Merger”), with Second Merger Sub surviving the Second Merger (Second Merger Sub, in its capacity as the surviving company of the Second Merger, is referred to as the “Surviving Company”). After giving effect to such Merger, PrimeBlock shall be a wholly-owned subsidiary of 10X II. In connection with the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), 10X II will change its name to “Prime Blockchain Inc.” (such company after the Closing, “New PrimeBlock”). The Domestication, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are hereinafter referred to as the “Business Combination”.
The Business Combination is expected to close in the second half of 2022, following the receipt of the required approval by 10X II’s shareholders and the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions.
Merger Consideration
In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at Closing, each share of common stock of PrimeBlock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time, shall be converted into the right to receive the number of shares of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock of New PrimeBlock (“New PrimeBlock Common Stock”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of (1) $1,250,000,000 and (2) cash proceeds raised under certain other pre-closing equity financings by (ii) ten dollars ($10.00) by (y) the sum of all of PrimeBlock’s shares and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) outstanding immediately prior to Closing (after giving effect to exercise of any outstanding options to purchase shares of PrimeBlock).
Governance
Except as otherwise agreed in writing by PrimeBlock and 10X II prior to the Closing, and conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing, subject to any limitation imposed under applicable laws and the listing requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), 10X II shall take all actions necessary or appropriate to cause (a) each director of 10X II in office to cease being a director, and (b) certain individuals designated by PrimeBlock (the “PrimeBlock Director Designees”) and 10X II (the “10X II Director Designees”) shall be appointed to the 10X II board of directors (the “10X II Board”).

If the Merger Agreement is validly terminated, none of the parties to the Merger Agreement, or their respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees or shareholders, will have any liability or any further obligation under the Merger Agreement other than customary confidentiality obligations, except in the case of Willful Breach (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of any covenant or agreement under the Merger Agreement.
A copy of the Merger Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto. The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Merger Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement are also modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to shareholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. 10X II does not believe that these schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision.
Acquiror Support Agreement
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, 10X II entered into the Acquiror Support Agreement (the “Acquiror Support Agreement”) with PrimeBlock, and the Sponsor and the directors and officers of 10X II (collectively, the “Class B Holders”) pursuant to which the Class B Holders agreed to, among other things, (i) vote at any meeting or pursuant to any action of written resolution of the shareholders of 10X II all of their class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, held of record or thereafter acquired in favor of the Business Combination, the Domestication and the other Proposals (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (ii) be bound by certain other covenants and agreements related to the Business Combination and (iii) be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to such securities, prior to the Closing of the Business Combination, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Acquiror Support Agreement. Additionally, for a period ending six months after Closing (the “First Lock-up Period”), the Sponsor will be subject to a lock-up with respect to 1,777,443 Lock-Up Shares (as defined in the Acquiror Support Agreement), and for a period beginning six months after Closing and ending twelve months after Closing (the “Second Lock-up Period”) the Sponsor will be subject to a lock-up with respect to 3,554,885 Lock-Up Shares (as defined in the Acquiror Support Agreement); provided that the lock-up shall expire upon the date on which the last reported sale price of the shares of New PrimeBlock Common Stock exceeds $12.00 per share for any twenty (20) trading days within any consecutive thirty (30) trading day period during the Second Lock-up Period.
The foregoing description of the Acquiror Support Agreement is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Acquiror Support Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Company Support Agreement
Within five days after the Merger Agreement, certain stockholders of PrimeBlock representing the requisite votes necessary to approve the Business Combination will enter into support agreements (each a “Company Support Agreement”) with 10X II and PrimeBlock, pursuant to which each such stockholder agrees to (i) vote at any meeting of the stockholders of PrimeBlock all shares of common stock of PrimeBlock held of record or thereafter acquired in favor of the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (ii) be bound by certain other covenants and agreements related to the Business Combination and (iii) be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to such securities, prior to the Closing of the Business Combination, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Company Support Agreement.

The foregoing description of Company Support Agreement is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Company Support Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 hereto, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement
At the closing of the Business Combination, New PrimeBlock, the Sponsor and certain stockholders of PrimeBlock will enter into an amended and restated registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor and such securityholders will be granted certain customary registration rights, on the terms and subject to the conditions therein, with respect to securities of New PrimeBlock they will hold following the Merger.
The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit C to Exhibit 2.1 hereto, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Cantor Share Purchase Agreement
On March 31, 2022, 10X II entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Cantor Purchase Agreement”) with CF Principal Investments LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Investor”) relating to a committed equity facility (the “Committed Equity Facility”). Pursuant to the Cantor Purchase Agreement, New PrimeBlock will have the right from time to time at its option following the closing of the Business Combination to sell to the Investor up to the lesser of (i) $300 million of New PrimeBlock Common Stock and (ii) the Exchange Cap (as defined below), subject to certain customary conditions and limitations set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement.
Following the Closing, and upon the initial satisfaction of the conditions to the Investor’s obligation to purchase shares of New PrimeBlock Common Stock set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement (the “Commencement”), New PrimeBlock will have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at its sole discretion until the first day of the month following the 36-month period from and after the Commencement, to direct the Investor to purchase up to a specified maximum amount of shares of New PrimeBlock Common Stock as set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement by delivering written notice to the Investor prior to the commencement of trading on any trading day. The purchase price of the shares of New PrimeBlock Common Stock that New PrimeBlock elects to sell to Investor pursuant to the Cantor Purchase Agreement will be 98% of the volume weighted average price of the shares of New PrimeBlock Common Stock during the applicable purchase date on which New PrimeBlock has timely delivered written notice to Investor directing it to purchase shares of New PrimeBlock Common Stock under the Cantor Purchase Agreement.
Sales of New PrimeBlock Common Stock to the Investor under the Cantor Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any sales, will be determined by New PrimeBlock from time to time in its sole discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of shares of New PrimeBlock Common Stock and determinations by New PrimeBlock regarding the use of proceeds of such sales. The net proceeds from any sales under the Cantor Purchase Agreement will depend on the frequency with, and prices at, which the shares of New PrimeBlock Common Stock are sold to Investor. New PrimeBlock expects to use the proceeds from any sales under the Cantor Purchase Agreement for the payment of certain transaction expenses relating to the Business Combination, working capital and general corporate purposes.
Under the applicable rules of Nasdaq, in no event may New PrimeBlock issue to the Investor under the Cantor Purchase Agreement more than 19.99% of the voting power or number of shares of New PrimeBlock Common Stock outstanding, calculated in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules (the “Exchange Cap”), unless (i) New PrimeBlock obtains stockholder approval to issue shares of New PrimeBlock Common Stock in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules, or (ii) the average purchase price per share for all of the shares of New PrimeBlock Common Stock sold to the Investor under the Cantor Purchase Agreement equals or exceeds the lower of (a) the Nasdaq official closing price for the ordinary shares of the Company on the date of the Cantor Purchase Agreement and (b) the arithmetic average of the five Nasdaq official closing prices for the Common Stock during the five-trading day period ending on (and including) the date of the Cantor Purchase Agreement, as adjusted pursuant to applicable Nasdaq rules.
5
In connection with the execution of the Cantor Purchase Agreement, 10X II agreed to issue shares of New PrimeBlock Common Stock to Investor (the “Commitment Shares”) as consideration for its irrevocable commitment to purchase the shares of New PrimeBlock Common Stock upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Cantor Purchase Agreement. The number of Commitment Shares issued will be calculated based on the price of New PrimeBlock Common Stock at Closing and the timing of the filing of the registration statement to register the resale of the Commitment Shares and the shares of New PrimeBlock Common Stock sold to the Investor under the Committed Equity Facility. The Cantor Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, conditions and indemnification obligations by each party. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Cantor Purchase Agreements were made only for purposes of the Cantor Purchase Agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreements and are subject to certain important limitations.
New PrimeBlock has the right to terminate the Cantor Purchase Agreement at any time after Commencement, at no cost or penalty, upon five trading days’ prior written notice. No termination of the Cantor Purchase Agreement will alter or otherwise affect New PrimeBlock’s obligations under the Cantor Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below).
The foregoing description of the Cantor Purchase Agreement is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Cantor Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.3 hereto, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Cantor Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with 10X II’s entry into the Cantor Purchase Agreement, at the closing of the Cantor Purchase Agreement, New PrimeBlock will enter into a registration rights agreement with the Investor (the “Cantor Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which New PrimeBlock will agree to register for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the shares of New PrimeBlock Common Stock that are sold to the Investor under the Committed Equity Facility and the Commitment Shares.
The foregoing description of the Cantor Registration Rights Agreement is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Cantor Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit A to Exhibit 10.3 hereto, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K may be considered forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or 10X II’s or PrimeBlock’s future financial or operating performance. For example, statements about the expected timing of the completion of the Business Combination, the benefits of the Business Combination, the competitive environment, and the expected future performance (including future revenue, pro forma enterprise value, and cash balance) and market opportunities of PrimeBlock are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expect”, “intend”, “will”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “predict”, “potential” or “continue”, or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by 10X II and its management, and PrimeBlock and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against 10X II, PrimeBlock, the combined company or others following the announcement of the Business Combination; (3) the inability to complete the Business Combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of 10X II or to satisfy other conditions to Closing; (4) changes to the proposed structure of the Business Combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval of the Business Combination; (5) the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards at or following the consummation of the Business Combination; (6) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of PrimeBlock as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; (7) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (8) costs related to the Business Combination; (9) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (10) the possibility that PrimeBlock or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business and/or competitive factors; and (11) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking
7
Statements” in 10X II’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2021, and which will be set forth in a Registration Statement to be filed by 10X II with the SEC in connection with the Business Combination.
Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Neither 10X II nor PrimeBlock undertakes any duty to update these forward-looking statements.
No Offer or Solicitation
This communication is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to purchase, nor a solicitation of an offer to sell, subscribe for or buy, any securities or the solicitation of any vote in any jurisdiction pursuant to the Business Combination or otherwise, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer of securities in any jurisdiction in contravention of applicable law.
