Explanatory Note

 

This Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment No. 1”) to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed with the SEC on September 8, 2020 (the “Original Schedule 13D”, together with this Amendment No. 1, the “Schedule 13D”) related to the ordinary shares (“Ordinary Shares”) of Global Blue Group Holding AG (the “Issuer”). The Items below amend the information disclosed under the corresponding Items of the Original Schedule 13D as described below. Except as set forth herein, the Original Schedule 13D is unmodified and remains in full force and effect. Each capitalized term used but not defined herein has the meaning ascribed to such term in the Original Schedule 13D.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background

 

Item 2 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended to reflect that (i) the principal office of Antfin Hong Kong is located at 27/F, Tower One, Times Square, 1 Matheson Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, and (ii) the principal office of Hangzhou Yunqiang and Ant Group is located at A Space, No. 569 Xixi Road, Hangzhou, China.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended by inserting the following information at the end of item 4:

 

The information set forth or incorporated in Items 5 and 6 of this Amendment No. 1 is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 4.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

(a)-(b) The responses of each Reporting Person to rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 of the cover pages of this Amendment No. 1 are hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5. As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons do not beneficially own any Ordinary Shares of the Issuer.

 

(c)  Except as disclosed in this Amendment No. 1, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions relating to the Ordinary Shares during the past 60 days.

 

(d) Not applicable.

 

(e) As a result of the transactions described herein, as of December 4, 2024, each of the Reporting Persons ceased to be a beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Ordinary Shares of the Issuer.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended by inserting the following information at the end of item 6:

 

Pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) by and between Antfin Hong Kong and Ant International Technologies (Hong Kong) Holding Limited (“Ant International Technologies”), Ant International Technologies has agreed to acquire 12,500,000 Ordinary Shares (the “Purchased Shares”) of the Issuer from Antfin Hong Kong for consideration in an aggregate amount of US$68,750,000. The transaction contemplated under the SPA is anticipated to close by December 31, 2024.

 

Ant International Technologies is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ant International (Cayman) Holding Limited (“Ant International Cayman”). Due to closing of share subscription agreements that Ant International Cayman has previously entered into, Ant Group has ceased to be the controlling shareholder of Ant International Cayman on December 4, 2024 and therefore ceased to be the beneficial owner of the Purchased Shares. Ant International Technologies and Ant International Cayman are filing a separate Schedule 13D to report their beneficial ownership of Ordinary Shares.
