Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 20, 2019, in connection with its Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on September 20, 2019 (the “EGM”), TPG Pace Holdings Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”) entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Trust Amendment”) to the Investment Management Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) effective as of June 27, 2017, to extend the date on which to commence liquidating the trust account (“Trust Account”) established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering in the event the Company has not consummated a business combination prior to September 30, 2019, from September 30, 2019 to December 31, 2019. A copy of the Trust Amendment is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

At the EGM, which was held on September 20, 2019, holders of an aggregate of 46,892,222 Class A ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share and Class F ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (together, the “ordinary shares”), which represents 83.364% of the ordinary shares outstanding and entitled to vote as of the record date of August 23, 2019, were represented in person or by proxy.

At the EGM, the following were submitted to and approved by the holders of our ordinary shares.

1. The Extension Amendment Proposal — the voting results of a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination from September 30, 2019 to December 31, 2019 are set forth below:

The proposal was approved, having received “for” votes from holders of at least two thirds of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the EGM (voting together as a single class).

In connection with this vote, the holders of 3,247,267 Class A ordinary shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.29 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $33,400,000, in connection with the extension. As a result, approximately $430,000,000 will remain in the trust account after payment of the redemptions.

2. The Trust Amendment Proposal — the voting results of a proposal to amend the Trust Agreement to extend the date on which to commence liquidating the Trust Account in the event the Company has not consummated a business combination prior to September 30, 2019 from September 30, 2019 to December 31, 2019 are set forth below:

The proposal was approved, having received “for” votes from holders of more than sixty five percent (65%) of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

The approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal will provide an opportunity for the Company’s shareholders to evaluate the Company’s proposed business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Accel Entertainment, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“Accel”). In connection with the proposed Business Combination, the Company and Accel entered into a Transaction Agreement (as it may be amended, the “Transaction Agreement”) on June 13, 2019, as reported on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 13, 2019.
