Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 15, 2022 (the “Schedule 13D”), relating to the common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of African Agriculture Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (f/k/a 10X Capital Venture Acquisition Corp. II, a Cayman Islands corporation) (the “Issuer”). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Item 4 below summarizes certain provisions of the Merger Agreement (as defined below) that pertain to the securities acquired by the Sponsor. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Business Combination (as defined below), the Sponsor acquired 4,673,261 shares of Common Stock in exchange for (i) 1,000,000 Class A ordinary shares (as defined below), (ii) 3,218,261 Class B ordinary shares (as defined below) and (iii) 455,000 Class A ordinary shares underlying the Placement Units. The Sponsor also acquired 151,666 Warrants (as defined below) for the purchase of Common Stock in exchange for 151,666 warrants for the purchase of Class A ordinary shares underlying the Placement Units.

In addition, on the Closing Date (as defined below), the Sponsor was issued from the Issuer (i) 1,233,167 shares of Common Stock in partial satisfaction of obligations under a promissory note, and (ii) 2,289,235 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Sponsor agreeing to waive a covenant obligating the Issuer to deliver to 10X II a duly executed Offtake Agreement (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Domestication and Business Combination

On December 5, 2023, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 2, 2022 (as amended by that certain First Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 3, 2023, and that certain Second Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 29, 2023, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among 10X Capital Venture Acquisition Corp. II, a Cayman Islands corporation (“10X II”), 10X AA Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and African Agriculture, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AFRAG”), 10X II de-registered as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands, domesticated as a corporation in the State of Delaware and changed its name to “African Agriculture Holdings Inc.” (the “Domestication”).

CUSIP No. 00792J100

Page 7 of 12 pages

In connection with the Domestication, (i) each issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A ordinary shares”) of the Issuer converted, on a one-for-one basis, into a duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share of the Issuer (the “Class A Common Stock”), (ii) each issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B ordinary shares”), of the Issuer converted, on a one-for-one basis, into a duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Issuer (the “Class B Common Stock”), and (iii) each issued and outstanding whole warrant to purchase Class A ordinary shares of the Issuer became exercisable for a whole warrant to purchase one Class A Common Stock beginning 30 days after December 6, 2023 at an exercise price of $11.50 per share on the terms and conditions set forth in the Issuer’s warrant agreement (the “Warrant”). In connection with clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph, each issued and outstanding Placement Unit that had not been previously separated into the underlying Class A ordinary share and the underlying one-third of one Warrant prior to the Domestication was cancelled and entitled the holder thereof to one share of Class A Common Stock and one-third of one Warrant, with such whole Warrant representing the right to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share.

On December 6, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into AFRAG (the “Merger,” and collectively with the Domestication and the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”), with AFRAG surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer. As a result of the Merger, (i) each share of Class A Common Stock automatically converted, on a one-for-one basis, into a duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock, (ii) each share of Class B Common Stock automatically converted, on a one-for-one basis, into a share of Common Stock, (iii) each issued and outstanding whole Warrant to purchase Class A ordinary shares of the Issuer became exercisable for one whole Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock beginning 30 days after the Closing Date at an exercise price of $11.50 per share on the terms and conditions set forth in the Issuer’s warrant agreement and (iv) each share of common stock of AFRAG issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date was converted into the right to receive the number of shares of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of (1) $450,000,000 and (2) the aggregate amount of any Company Pre-Closing Financing (as defined in the Merger Agreement) by (ii) ten dollars ($10) by (y) the Aggregate Fully Diluted Company Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

Sponsor Share Transfers

Prior to the Business Combination, pursuant to non-redemption agreements entered into by 10X II, the Sponsor and certain investors of 10X II (the “Investors”), the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 1,114,067 Class B Ordinary Shares to the Investors in exchange for the Investors’ agreements to extend the time by which 10X II must complete a business combination, and is committed to transfer 119,100 shares of Common Stock to a certain Investor at a later date to be determined by the parties.

Acquiror Support Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, 10X II entered into the Acquiror Support Agreement (the “Acquiror Support Agreement”) with AFRAG, 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 the Issuer all of their Class B ordinary shares held of record or thereafter acquired in favor of the Business Combination, the Domestication and the other proposals in connection therewith and (ii) be bound by certain other covenants and agreements related to 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 the Closing Date (the “First Lock-up Period”), the Class B Holders shall be subject to a lock-up with respect to all of the Lock-Up Shares (as defined below), and for a period beginning six months after the Closing Date and ending twelve months after the Closing Date (the “Second Lock-up Period”) the Class B Holders shall be subject to a lock-up with respect to two-thirds of the Lock-Up Shares; provided that the lock-up shall expire upon the date on which the last reported sale price of the shares of 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.

“Lock-up Shares” means an amount of shares equal to one-half of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock held by the Class B Holders immediately following the Closing Date (excluding the (i) shares of Common Stock underlying (a) the Placement Units issued to the Sponsor in connection with 10X II’s initial public offering or (b) any Placement Units issued on conversion of Working Capital Loans (as defined in the Acquiror Support Agreement), (ii) Common Stock acquired after November 3, 2022 in the public market, together with any securities paid as dividends or distributions with respect to such securities or into which such securities are exchanged or converted; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, shares owned by the Class B Holders at the Closing Date, but which have been committed to be delivered following the Closing Date to a third party, shall not be considered “Lock-up Shares.”

A&R Registration Rights Agreement

On the Closing Date, the Issuer, the Sponsor and certain stockholders of the Issuer (the “New Holders” and together with the “Existing Holders,” the “Holders”) entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “A&R Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Holders shall be granted certain piggyback and shelf registration rights, on the terms and subject to the conditions therein.

The foregoing descriptions of the Acquiror Support Agreement and the A&R Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full text of such agreements, each of which is attached as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D and incorporated herein by reference.

General

The Reporting Persons acquired the securities described in this Schedule 13D in connection with the closing of the Business Combination and intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Any actions the Reporting Persons might undertake may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will be dependent upon the Reporting Persons’ review of numerous factors, including, but not limited to: an ongoing evaluation of the Issuer’s business, financial condition, operations and prospects; price levels of the Issuer’s securities; general market, industry and economic conditions; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other future developments.
