Tuscan Holdings Corp. (Nasdaq:THCB) (“Tuscan”) announced that at
today’s reconvened 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders,
stockholders approved the proposal to amend Tuscan’s Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to extend the
date by which Tuscan must complete a business combination from

our shareholders have provided in connection with the extension
proposal. We have filed with the SEC the preliminary proxy
statement for our business combination with Microvast. We continue
to progress with our proposed transaction with Microvast and look
forward to being in position to schedule the special meeting of
stockholders to vote to approve the business combination.”
