ADS RIGHTS AGENT AGREEMENT

BioNTech SE, a European stock corporation (Societas Europaea) incorporated in Germany and governed by the laws of the European Union and the Federal Republic of Germany and registered with the commercial register (Handelsregister) of the local court (Amtsgericht) of Mainz, the Federal Republic of Germany, under number HRB 48720 (the “Company”), will grant to existing holders (the “ADS Holders”) of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) issued under the Deposit Agreement dated as of October 9, 2019 (the “Deposit Agreement”) among the Company, The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary (the “Depositary”), and all Owners and Holders (each as defined in the Deposit Agreement) from time to time of ADSs issued thereunder that are registered on the books of the Depositary as of close of business in New York City on July [●], 2020 (the “ADS Record Date”) the right (the “ADS Rights Offering”) to purchase new ADSs at a purchase price of $[●] per new ADS (the “Purchase Price”). Each ADS Holder will receive one ADS right (each, an “ADS Right”) for every ADS held on the ADS Record Date, and [●] ADS Rights will entitle the registered holder (an “ADS Rights Holder”) to purchase [●] new ADSs in the ADS Rights Offering. At the Company’s request, certain ADS holders may irrevocably agree with the Company, prior to the ADS Record Date, to renounce their ADS Rights. Each ADS represents one ordinary share (each, an “Ordinary Share”) of the Company. However, no fractional ADS Rights will be distributed. All ADS Rights entitlements will be reduced to the next lower whole number of ADS Rights. As described in the Prospectus, the offer and sale of the new Ordinary Shares and new ADSs pursuant to the ADS Rights may be prohibited or restricted in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions. The Company will not knowingly credit ADS Rights or sell any new ADSs to investors in any jurisdiction in which it would be illegal to do so, or where doing so would trigger any prospectus, registration, filing or approval requirement. The Company reserves absolute discretion in determining whether any holder of ADSs located or resident outside the United States may participate in this offering. In particular, ADS rights may not be exercised by or on behalf of any person located in the European Economic Area (EEA) who is not a qualified investor as such term is defined in the EU Prospectus Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2017/1129) (“EU Qualified Investor”). Each Owner signing an ADS Subscription Form and each DTC participant exercising ADS Rights, will be required to represent and warrant that if it or the beneficial owner for which it is acting is located or resident in the EEA, it or that beneficial owner is an EU Qualified Investor.

The ADS Rights Offering is based on a grant by the Company to holders of Ordinary Shares of rights to subscribe for additional Ordinary Shares (the “Ordinary Share Rights Offering”).

ADS Holders wishing to exercise ADS Rights must deposit the Purchase Price for all of the new ADSs subscribed for.

The subscription period for the ADS Rights Offering (the “Subscription Period”) shall commence at 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on July [●], 2020 and is scheduled to end at 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on August [●], 2020 or a later date and time to which the Company has extended the ADS Rights Offering with notice to the Agent (as defined below) (the “Expiration Time”). The ADS Rights Offering will be made to each ADS Rights Holder by means of the prospectus dated [●], 2020 (the “Prospectus”). Most of the ADSs are held through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). The subscription form included as Annex A to this Agreement (as

defined below) (an “ADS Subscription Form”) may be used by ADS Rights Holders to exercise ADS Rights through the Agent and by direct and indirect participants (“Participants”) in DTC and their customers as an aid in recording and entering subscriptions pursuant to ADS Rights through DTC’s automated system.

The ADS Rights will be not be listed on any exchange and will not be transferable by their holders. ADS Rights Holders will not be entitled to surrender ADS Rights for the purpose of withdrawing the underlying rights to purchase Ordinary Shares, nor will participants in the Ordinary Share Rights Offering be entitled to deposit their rights in the Ordinary Share Rights Offering for issuance of ADS Rights.

1. The Company hereby appoints The Bank of New York Mellon as ADS rights agent (the “Agent”), and the Agent hereby accepts that appointment, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this letter agreement (this “Agreement”).

2. [Reserved]

3. As soon as practicable after the ADS Record Date and after receiving the Prospectus, the Agent shall (i) furnish the Prospectus to DTC, (ii) make arrangements with DTC to credit the accounts of Participants having ADSs credited to their DTC accounts as of the ADS Record Date with the ADS Rights to which they are entitled and to enable Participants to enter subscriptions pursuant to ADS Rights through DTC’s automated system and (iii) mail to each ADS Rights Holder other than DTC’s nominee an ADS Subscription Form and a letter in the form of Annex B to this Agreement (a “Holder Letter”).

4. (a) Not later than the ADS Record Date, the Company will furnish the Agent with a list of Participants, if any, that have agreed to renounce their entitlements to ADS Rights with respect to ADSs they hold on behalf of customers. A renunciation of that kind will be effective with respect to ADSs if the relevant Participant has, not later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on July [●], 2020 (the “Renunciation Cut-off Time”) (i) delivered a renunciation instruction in the form of Annex C to DTC with respect to those ADSs and delivered a copy of it by email to the Agent and (ii) delivered a renunciation letter in the form of Annex D to the Agent and the Company. Notwithstanding Section 3, the Agent will instruct DTC not to credit ADS Rights to a Participant to the extent that Participant has effectively renounced its ADS Rights entitlement.

(b) Not later than the ADS Record Date, the Company will furnish the Agent with a list of ADS Holders other than DTC’s nominee, if any, that have agreed to renounce their entitlements to ADS Rights with respect to ADSs they hold. A renunciation of that kind will be effective with respect to ADSs if the relevant ADS Holder has, not later than the Renunciation Cut-off Time, delivered a renunciation letter in the form of Annex E to the Agent and the Company. Notwithstanding Section 8, the Agent will not accept an exercise of ADS Rights from an ADS Holder to the extent that ADS Holder effectively renounced its ADS Rights entitlement.

Such funds shall remain in the Deposit Account until they are disbursed in accordance with Section 10 or 13. The Agent will not be obligated to calculate or pay interest to any holder or any other party. The Agent hereby waives any and all rights of lien, attachment or set-off whatsoever that it may have against the Company, if any, against the funds, whether such rights arise by reason of statutory or common law, contract or otherwise, including pursuant to any compensation owed by the Company to Agent.

(d) The Agent shall refer to the Company for specific instructions as to acceptance or rejection of subscriptions received after the Expiration Time, subscriptions not authorized to be accepted under this Section 8 and subscriptions otherwise failing to comply with the requirements of the Prospectus and the terms and conditions of the ADS Rights.

(a) The Agent shall advise the Company daily by e-mail to the attention of [●] (the “Company Representatives”), with copies to [●], as to the total number of new ADSs subscribed for pursuant to ADS Rights and the total amount of funds received, with cumulative totals for each. The Company shall pay to the Agent the Depositary’s fee of $0.05 per ADS for the delivery of that number of ADSs by wire transfer to [●].

(b) As promptly as practicable, following the Expiration Time, the Agent shall advise the Company Representatives by email of the number of new ADSs subscribed for pursuant to the ADS Rights.

10. (a) The Agent shall, as soon as practicable after the Expiration Time, (i) instruct the Depositary to instruct its German custodian (the “Custodian”) to give the Company a notice, before the end of the subscription period in the Ordinary Share Rights Offering, as to the number of new Ordinary Shares to be represented by new ADSs and to deliver to the Company, by the date the Company requires following the Expiration Time, a subscription form for that number of new Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of Ordinary Share rights, (ii) using a portion of the aggregate Purchase Price, purchase one euro for each new ADS to be subscribed, pay those euros to Custodian and instruct the Custodian to pay that euro amount (being the aggregate nominal value of the new Ordinary Shares to be represented by the new ADSs) to the Company, (iii) pay to the Company, by wire transfer to [●], the aggregate Purchase Price for the amount of new ADSs to be subscribed for, less the cost of the euros purchased under item above, (iv) instruct the Custodian to deposit the Ordinary Shares delivered to it upon exercise of rights in the Ordinary Share Rights Offering under the Deposit Agreement and notify the Depositary of that deposit, (v) instruct the Depositary to deliver the ADSs issuable in respect of those Ordinary Shares to the Agent and (vi) pay, from the funds received from the Company under Section 9, the Depositary’s fee of $0.05 for each of those new ADSs. The Agent shall deliver to DTC the amount of new ADSs to which Participants are entitled to, for allocation by DTC to the Participants entitled to them as promptly as practicable. The Agent shall instruct the Depositary to register in the names of subscribing ADS Rights Holders other than DTC’s nominee on an uncertificated basis the number of new ADSs to which each of them is entitled and to send each of the ADS Rights Holders a notification of that registration.

(b) The Agent may convert currency itself or through any of its affiliates, or the Custodian. Where the Agent converts currency itself or through any of its affiliates, the Agent acts as principal for its own account and not as agent, advisor, broker or fiduciary on behalf of any other person and earns revenue, including, without limitation, transaction spreads, that it will retain for its own account. The revenue is based on, among other things, the difference between the exchange rate assigned to the currency conversion made under this Agreement and the rate that the Agent or its affiliate receives when buying or selling foreign currency for its own account. The Depositary makes no representation that the exchange rate used or obtained by it or its affiliate in any currency conversion under this Agreement will be the most favorable rate that could be obtained at the time or that the method by which that rate will be determined will be the most favorable to the Company, subject to the Agent’s obligations under Section 23(a). The methodology used to determine exchange rates used in currency conversions made by the Agent is available upon request. Where the Custodian converts currency, the Custodian has no obligation to obtain the most favorable rate that could be obtained at the time or to ensure that the method by which that rate will be determined will be the most favorable to the Company, and the Agent makes no representation that the rate is the most favorable rate and will not be liable for any direct or indirect losses associated with the rate.

11. As soon as practicable following the expiration of the Ordinary Share Rights Offering, the Company shall deliver the Ordinary Shares purchased by the Depositary to the Custodian.

12. [Reserved.]

13.

If the Company terminates the ADS Rights Offering after the Agent has converted U.S. dollars into euro under Section 10(a), the Company will repay to the Custodian the euro received from the Custodian in respect of the nominal value of new Ordinary Shares that were to be purchased, the Agent will convert or cause those euro to be converted into U.S. dollars, and the Company or the Agent, as applicable, will pay the other the difference between the net amount of U.S. dollars the Agent receives from that conversion and the amount of U.S. dollars the Agent paid to purchase the euro that the Custodian paid to the Company.

14. [Reserved]

15. The Agent shall date and time stamp each document received by it relating to its duties hereunder when received and shall preserve each document for a period of time at least equal to the period of time it preserves other records pertaining to the transfer of securities.
