2.5If a Warrant Certificate is mutilated, defaced, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company will replace it on such terms as to evidence and indemnity as the Company may reasonably require and subject to the Holder paying the Company’s reasonable costs (if any) in connection with the issue of the replacement.

4DURATION, EXERCISE AND SUBSCRIPTION PRICE

4.1Subject to clauses 3, 4.2, 4.3 and 8, the Holder shall have the right, at any time prior to the Final Date, by delivering a Subscription Notice to the Company in accordance with clause 8 (Mechanics of Exercise), to subscribe for all, or part of the Warrant Shares against payment of the aggregate Subscription Price.

4.2The Company shall give the Holder [***] prior written notice of the Final Date. Furthermore, in the event of a Takeover, the Company shall give the Holder [***] Business Days’ prior written notice of such Takeover (subject always to compliance with applicable law and regulation).

4.3If a Takeover Offer becomes wholly unconditional before the Subscription Rights in respect of the then outstanding Warrants have been exercised, the Company shall use all commercially reasonable endeavours to procure that an appropriate offer is extended to the Holder by the Buyer on no less favourable terms in respect of any unexercised Warrants on the date of the Takeover.

5REALISATION EVENT

5.1The Company shall give the Holder [***] prior written notice (or, if due to the circumstances of the anticipated Realisation Event it is not possible for the Company to give [***] notice, the longest period of notice which is reasonably possible) (in each case a Realisation Notice) of the date on which the Company anticipates that the Realisation Event will occur and be completed.

5.2A Realisation Notice shall (i) include particulars of the anticipated Realisation Event in relation to which notice is given, to the extent such information is available to the Company at the time notice is given, (ii) contain the proposed or estimated date of unconditional completion of the Realisation Event (the Realisation Date), which date shall not be later than [***] from the date of the Realisation Notice to the extent reasonably possible and legally permissible, and (iii) contain all other information reasonably requested by the Holder for the purposes of deciding whether or not (and if so when) to exercise its Subscription Rights. The Realisation Notice shall also include a statement as to the likely Takeover Amount.

5.3The Company undertakes to send promptly to the Holder such material further information of which it becomes aware relating to the progress of a Realisation Event including, but not limited to, information which the Company reasonably considers relevant to the increased or decreased likelihood of the same occurring, any change in the anticipated terms of or timetable to and/or the failure or lapse (whether temporary or permanent) of the same, with the intent that the Holder shall be kept informed at all times of any changes or other circumstances material to the Realisation Event, provided that the Holder agrees in advance to be bound by the

9WKS/303607785

same confidentiality undertaking which the Company may have executed in connection with such Realisation Event.

6NON CASH PUBLIC EXIT EVENT

If the Realisation Event is a Non Cash Public Exit Event:

6.1Prior to the closing of the Non Cash Public Exit Event, the Holder may request the Company to request the acquiring, surviving or successor entity (the Buyer):

6.1.1to issue new warrants to the Holder that are exercisable over such number of securities in the Buyer whose value is equal to the Fair Market Value of the Warrant Shares (as nearly as may be (and in any event no less than)) that would have been issued for the Non Cash Proportion of the unexercised Warrants (and if the Buyer agrees, the Company shall use all reasonable endeavours to procure that the Buyer, prior to or on the closing of the Non Cash Public Exit Event, issues such new warrants to the Holder over such securities in the Buyer, setting out the new terms); and

6.1.2to pay cash to the Holder for the Warrant Shares that would have been issued for the Cash Proportion of the unexercised Warrants,

and should the Buyer issue new warrants and/or pay cash in the manner described in clauses 6.1.1 and/or 6.1.2, any unexercised Warrants held by the Holder shall lapse on unconditional completion of the Takeover.

6.2If the Buyer does not agree or is not requested by the Company to issue new warrants and/or pay cash to the Holder as provided in clauses 6.1.1 and/or 6.1.2 (as applicable) then the Holder may elect, by serving a written notice on the Company at least [***] Business Days prior to completion of such Non Cash Public Event, to exercise any unexercised Subscription Rights in whole or in part prior to the closing of the Non Cash Public Exit Event pursuant to clause 8 (Mechanics of exercise), provided that any unexercised Subscription Rights shall lapse on unconditional completion of the Takeover.

7CASH PUBLIC EXIT EVENT

7.1If the Realisation Event is a Cash Public Exit Event and a Holder has not exercised all of its Subscription Rights by the date that is [***] Business Day prior to completion of such Cash Public Exit Event then, subject to and conditional on the Cash Public Exit Event completing, any Subscription Rights which have not by then been exercised shall, provided that immediately prior to the Cash Public Exit Event the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share (or other security issued on the exercise of a Warrant) is greater than the Subscription Price on such date, be deemed to have been automatically exercised on such day in respect of all unexercised Warrants on such date on a net issuance basis as set out in clause 8.3.2 (Mechanics of Exercise) and the Company shall issue the resulting Warrant Shares in accordance with clause

10WKS/303607785

8 (Mechanics of Exercise). If the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share (or other security issued on the exercise of a Warrant) is less than or equal to the Subscription Price on the date of the Cash Public Exit Event, the Warrants shall lapse.

8MECHANICS OF EXERCISE

8.1The Subscription Rights may be exercised in whole or in part.

8.2In order to exercise a Warrant, the Holder will:

8.2.1send a Subscription Notice to the Company which (i) indicates the number of Warrant Shares the Holder wishes to subscribe for by exercising the Warrant and (ii) indicates the aggregate Subscription Price payable by the Holder to the Company upon such exercise and (iii) encloses the Warrant certificate for the Warrants to which the Subscription Notice relates; and

8.2.2where the Subscription Price is to be satisfied pursuant to clause 8.3.1 by a remittance by bank transfer (or, to the extent permissible by applicable law and regulation, such other mode of payment as the Company and the Holder shall agree), for the aggregate Subscription Price in respect of the Subscription Rights which are being exercised.

8.3The Subscription Price for each of the Warrant Shares shall, at the absolute discretion of the Holder, be satisfied by any of the following:

8.3.1the payment by bank transfer (or such other mode of payment as the Company and the Holder shall agree) of the Subscription Price by the Holder to the Company for each of the Warrant Shares at the Subscription Price; or

8.3.2in lieu of cash payment in respect of the Subscription Price for the Warrant Shares, the Holder may on each Exercise Date in respect of all of its Warrants elect to receive a reduced number of Warrant Shares (as calculated below) (Reduced Warrant Shares) than the number to which it would be entitled on exercise of the Subscription Right in full, payment for such Reduced Warrant Shares being satisfied by waiver by the Holder of the right to receive the balance of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled over and above the Reduced Warrant Shares (Balance Warrant Shares). In doing so, the Company agrees and acknowledges that the Reduced Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder shall be issued as fully paid up at the Subscription Price and the Holder agrees and acknowledges that it waives its Subscription Rights to the Balance Warrant Shares used as consideration for the payment of the aggregate Subscription Price. The number of Reduced Warrant Shares the Holder will receive shall be determined as follows:

11WKS/303607785

where:

X = the number of Reduced Warrant Shares, rounded down to the nearest whole number, to be issued to the Holder.

Y = the number of Warrant Shares capable of being subscribed pursuant to the Subscription Rights attached this Agreement (without application of the reduction at this clause 8.3.2).

A = the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share.

B = the Subscription Price.

N = the nominal value of one Warrant Share.

Provided always that the Holder shall nevertheless be required to subscribe in cash, and pay in cash, for the nominal value of the Reduced Warrant Shares, such payment to be made in the manner set out in clause 8.2.2.

8.4The Subscription Notice delivered pursuant to clause 8.2.1 shall be (subject only to clause 8.6) irrevocable and unconditional.

8.5Upon receipt by the Company of a Subscription Notice, the Company shall allot and issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares for which the Holder has subscribed, within [***] Business Days.

8.6In case the unconditional completion of a Realisation Event fails to take place within [***] of the Realisation Notice, the relevant Realisation Notice shall cease to be valid and the Company shall forthwith be obliged to return the Subscription Notice to the Holder and no exercise or election shall be deemed to have taken place.

8.7The issue of the Warrant Shares shall be carried out in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Swiss Code of Obligations or under Swiss Law, and when issued, shall be credited as fully paid and rank pari passu with existing Ordinary Shares in issue on the Exercise Date and, subject to applicable law and regulation, be freely tradeable on NASDAQ.

8.8Immediately following the issue of Warrant Shares, the Company shall enter, or procure that the Company’s share registrar enters the Holder’s name (or its nominee’s or trustee’s name, as appropriate) in the share register of the Company as the holder of the Warrant Shares and issue such shares in uncertificated form in favour of a nominee or trustee stipulated by the Holder.

12WKS/303607785

8.9The Warrant Shares shall carry the right to receive all dividends and other distributions to the Shareholders declared after the Exercise Date, including in relation to a financial period beginning before the Exercise Date.

8.10The Company will not issue any fractional Ordinary Shares to the Holder upon the exercise by the Holder of the Warrant. The Company shall round the total number of Ordinary Shares down to the nearest whole share, which shall in all cases be issued fully paid, and the fractional entitlements shall be disregarded.

9ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT

9.1Upon the occurrence of an Adjustment Event after the date of this Agreement but prior to the Final Date, the number and/or nominal value of Warrant Shares to be, or capable of being issued on any exercise of the Subscription Rights and/or the Subscription Price will be adjusted in such manner as agreed or determined pursuant to clause 9.2 so that, after such adjustment, the Holder shall be entitled, on exercise of the Subscription Rights, to receive the same percentage of the Ordinary Shares in issue following the completion of the Adjustment Event and carrying the same proportion of votes exercisable at a general meeting of shareholders, for the same aggregate price as the aggregate Subscription Price, in each case as nearly as practicable, as would have been the case if no Adjustment Event had occurred, provided that the Subscription Price shall not in any event be reduced so that, upon exercise of the Subscription Rights, Warrant Shares would be issued at a discount to their nominal value.

9.2Within [***] Business Days after an Adjustment Event, notice of such adjustments (Adjustment Notice) will be given by the Company to the Holder detailing the adjusted number of Warrant Shares and/or the adjusted Subscription Price arising as a consequence of any such Adjustment Event. If the Holder agrees the terms of the Adjustment Notice or fails to respond to the Adjustment Notice within [***]Business Days of receipt of the Adjustment Notice, it shall be final and binding on the Company and Holder for all purposes of this Agreement. If the Company and Holder cannot agree the terms of the Adjustment Notice within [***]Business Days of receipt of such notice by the Holder, either of them shall be entitled to refer the matter in dispute to an independent firm of accountants to determine the matter (Expert) nominated and acting as set out in clause 9.3.

9.3The Company and the Holder shall each be entitled to suggest a proposed Expert for the purpose of clause 9.2 and if no agreement on the Expert is reached within [***] Business Days of each suggested Expert being proposed, the Expert shall be determined by the President of the Basel Chamber of Commerce (Handelskammer beider Basel). The Expert shall act as an expert (Schiedsgutachter), as that term is defined in article 189 of the Swiss Code of Civil Procedure, and not as an arbitrator and its costs shall be shared equally by the parties. The Expert shall be entitled to call for such information as it shall think fit and the Company and the Holder shall cooperate with it in good faith so that the Expert is able to make its determination as

13WKS/303607785

soon as reasonably possible. Once made, the Expert’s determination of the matter in dispute shall be issued in writing to the Company and Holder and it shall be final and binding on them, except in the case of manifest error on the part of the Expert (in which case the relevant part of his or her determination shall be void and the matter shall be remitted to the Expert for correction).

12.12The Company undertakes with the Holder not to, by amendment to the Articles or through any reorganisation, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue, or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, intentionally avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Agreement.

respect to the Warrant Shares as soon as reasonably possible and in any event within 5 Business Days of the Holder’s request; provided that the Holder provides the Company with such customary documentation required from the Holder as reasonably requested by the Company’s counsel. If all or any portion of the Warrant Shares are converted at a time when such Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Warrant Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission), then such Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required, it will following the delivery by the Holder to the Company, or the Company’s transfer agent, of a certificate representing the Warrant Shares issued with a restrictive legend, promptly instruct the transfer agent to remove any restrictive legend and deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends.
