  7.2.

Additional Conversion Events. All outstanding Preferred Shares shall be automatically converted into fully paid and non-assessable Ordinary Shares (i) immediately prior to and conditional upon the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering (A) provided that in the event that the per share price paid by the public in such Qualified Public Offering is less than two (2) times the Original Series E Issue Price, the Conversion Price of each Preferred E Share and of each Preferred E-1 Share shall be adjusted, immediately prior to such conversion, to one half (1/2) the per share price paid by the public in such Qualified Public Offering; and (B) further provided that in the event that the per share price paid by the public in such Qualified Public Offering is less than $13.81651, the Conversion Price of each Preferred E-2 Share shall be adjusted, immediately prior to such conversion, to 0.775 of the per share price paid by the public in such Qualified Public Offering; and (C) further provided that in the event that the per share price paid by the public in such Qualified Public Offering is less than $16.9321, the Conversion Price of each Preferred E-3 Share shall be adjusted, immediately prior to such conversion, to 0.775 of the per share price paid by the public in such Qualified Public Offering; and (D) further provided that in the event that the per share price paid by the public in such Qualified Public Offering that is consummated (x) during the period that ends three years from the Closing Date is less than $28.512335, the Conversion Price of each Preferred F Share shall be adjusted, immediately prior to such conversion, to 0.76923 of the per share price paid by the public in such Qualified Public Offering, or (y) at any time thereafter, is less than $21.932565, the Conversion Price of each Preferred F Share shall be adjusted, immediately prior to such conversion, to 1.0 of the per share price paid by the public in such Qualified Public Offering or (ii) at the election of at least the Preferred Majority, (provided that no conversion election pursuant to this clause (ii) shall be effective as to (a) the Preferred D Shares unless such conversion is approved by the Series D Consent)); or as to (b) the Preferred E Shares unless such conversion is approved by the Series E Consent); or as to (c) the Preferred F Shares unless such conversion is approved by the Series F Consent)), on the date specified in a written notice by such holders to the Company. To remove any doubt, in the context of a Realization Event the Series D Consent and the Series E Consent and the Series F Consent, respectively, shall not act as a veto or hindrance of such Realization Event and will not prevent nor hinder a Realization Event in which a conversion to Ordinary Shares is required, but shall solely entitle the holders of a majority of the Preferred D Shares or the holders of a majority of the Preferred E Shares or the holders of a majority of the Preferred F Shares (as relevant) to determine whether, in connection with such Realization Event, the holders of Preferred D Shares or the holders of Preferred E Shares or the holders of the Preferred F Shares (as relevant) will receive Distributable Proceeds as Preferred D Shares or Preferred E Shares or Preferred F Shares (as relevant); or “as if” Ordinary

  Shares as contemplated by Article 94.3(a) through 94.3(f) below. The Company shall give notice of any conversion pursuant to this Article 7.2 to each holder of Preferred Shares at least ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering, in the case of clause (i) above, or promptly upon the receipt (and in any event within five (5) days after) of the notice from at least the Preferred Majority. Without derogating from the above, in the event that the Company consummates an IPO which is not a Qualified Public Offering, and the per share price paid by the public in such IPO that is consummated (x) during the period that ends three years from the Closing Date is less than $28.512335 , the Conversion Price of each Preferred F Share shall be adjusted, immediately prior to such conversion, to 0.76923 of the per share price paid by the public in such IPO, or (y) at any time thereafter, is less than $21.932565, the Conversion Price of each Preferred F Share shall be adjusted, immediately prior to such conversion, to 1.0 of the per share price paid by the public in such IPO.

 

  7.3.

  7.4.

Mechanics of Conversion. Each holder who desires to convert Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares pursuant to Article 7.1 shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company, and shall give notice to the Company at such office that such holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the number of Preferred Shares being converted. Thereupon the Company shall promptly issue and deliver to such holder certificates for the number of Ordinary Shares to which such holder is entitled upon conversion. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificate representing the Preferred Shares to be converted, and the Person entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such Ordinary Shares on such date. In the event of any conversion of Preferred Shares pursuant to Article 7.2, then the conversion shall be deemed to have taken place automatically

 

12


  regardless of whether the certificates representing such shares have been tendered to the Company, but from and after such conversion, the certificates representing such Preferred Shares shall thereupon represent solely the right to receive the Ordinary Shares into which the Preferred Shares represented by such certificates shall have been converted, and the record holder of such Preferred Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such Ordinary Shares effective upon the date of such conversion. Upon the occurrence of such conversion of the Preferred Shares, the holders thereof shall surrender the certificates representing such shares at the office of the Company. Thereupon, there shall be issued and delivered to such holder at such office and in its name as shown on such surrendered certificate or certificates, certificates for the number of Ordinary Shares into which the Preferred Shares surrendered were converted on the date of such conversion. If the conversion is in connection with a public offering or a Realization Event (as defined in Article 94.8 herein), the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Preferred Shares for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing of the public offering or Realization Event, as the case may be, in which event the Person(s) entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion of the Preferred Shares shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Shares until immediately prior to the closing of the public offering or Realization Event, as the case may be.

 

  7.5.

Adjustments. The Conversion Price and, accordingly, the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in Articles 7.6 through 7.9 below.

 

  7.6.

Adjustment for Subdivisions and Combinations. If the Company effects a subdivision of the outstanding Ordinary Shares without a corresponding subdivision of the Preferred Shares, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately before the subdivision shall be proportionately decreased and the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares shall be proportionately increased. Conversely, if the Company combines the outstanding Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares without a corresponding combination of the Preferred Shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Article 7.6 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

  7.7.

Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. In the event the Ordinary Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares are changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares or a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets provided for elsewhere in this Article 7 and other than a transaction to which the provisions of Article 94 hereof apply), then in any such event each holder of Preferred Shares shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon the conversion of such Preferred Shares, the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of the number of Ordinary Shares into which such Preferred Shares would have been converted, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

 

13


  7.8.

Reorganizations, Mergers, Consolidations or Sales of Assets. If there is a capital reorganization of the Ordinary Shares (other than a recapitalization, subdivision, combination, reclassification or exchange of shares provided for elsewhere in this Article 7) or a merger or consolidation of the Company with another company, or the sale of the Company’s properties and assets to any other person (except for a transaction to which the provisions of Article 94 hereof apply), then, as a part of such reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale, provision shall be made so that the holders of the Preferred Shares shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon the conversion of such Preferred Shares, the number of shares or other securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion would have been entitled upon such capital reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Article 7 with respect to the rights of the holders of such Preferred Shares after the reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale to the end that the provisions of this Article 7 (including adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of such Preferred Shares) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.

 

  7.9.

Sale of Shares Below Share Conversion Price.

 

  (i)

If, at any time: (A) for the Preferred A Shares, following the Series A Original Issue Date and prior to the fourth (4th) anniversary thereof; and (B) for the Preferred B Shares, Preferred C Shares, Preferred D Shares, Preferred E Shares and Preferred F Shares, following the Effective Date, the Company issues or sells, or is deemed by the provisions of subsection (iii) below to have issued or sold, Additional Shares (as defined below) for an Effective Price (as defined below) which is less than the applicable Conversion Price then in effect for the applicable Preferred Shares (the “Dilutive Event”), then the Conversion Price then in effect for the (as relevant) Preferred A Shares, Preferred B-1 Shares, Preferred B-2 Shares, Preferred C Shares, Preferred D Shares, Preferred E Shares, Preferred E-1 Shares, Preferred E-2 Shares, Preferred E-3 Shares or Preferred F Shares shall be reduced automatically and for no additional consideration, as of the opening of business on the date of each such issue or sale, by multiplying the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately before such issue or sale (“OCP”) by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the aggregate number of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares immediately before the Dilutive Event (on a fully-diluted basis after giving effect to the deemed exercise of all options and warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares and assuming the conversion into Ordinary Shares of all convertible securities including the Preferred Shares and including Securities excluded from the definition of “Additional Shares” as set forth in subsection (v) herein, but not including in such calculation any additional Ordinary Shares issuable solely as a result of the adjustment of the Conversion Price of the Preferred Shares resulting from the adjustment caused by such issuance) (“CPS”), plus (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total consideration received or deemed to have been received by the Company for such issuance of Additional Shares in the Dilutive Event (“TC”) and the denominator of which is the OCP, and (y) the denominator of which is the sum of (1) the CPS, plus (2) the number of Additional Shares being issued or sold in connection with the Dilutive Event (“AOS”). The mathematical presentation of the foregoing text is as follows:

PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS ON COMPANY SHARE ISSUANCE

 

  14.1.

Until the closing of an IPO, any Preferred Shareholder and any other Shareholder holding five percent (5%) or more of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company (calculated on an As Converted Basis) (each, an “Eligible Shareholder”), shall have the right to (i) purchase its pro rata share of “New Securities” (as defined below) that the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue, and (ii) participate in any other financing of the Company by way of debt or any alternative manner other than by issuance of “New Securities” (as defined below) (each, a “Financing”). Such pro rata share, for purposes of this Article 14, shall be calculated as the ratio of (X) the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares, on an As Converted Basis, owned by such Eligible Shareholder immediately prior to the issuances of New Securities, to (Y) the total number of outstanding Ordinary Shares, on an As Converted Basis. It is clarified that for the purpose of calculating the pro rata share of a Preferred Shareholder, the Ordinary Shares held by such Preferred Shareholder shall also be taken into account, in addition to the Preferred Shares, on an As Converted Basis.

New Securities” shall mean any Securities of the Company, whether or not authorized on the date hereof; provided, however, that “New Securities” shall not include (i) any Excluded Securities (as such term is defined in Article 7.9(v) above), (ii) the issuance of Securities in a Qualified Public Offering, or (iii) any Securities, in connection with the issuance or intended issuance of which, the Board has determined that the best interests of the Company require that the preemptive rights set out in this Article 14 be waived, provided that Preferred Shareholders not involved in such issuance (either directly or indirectly through an affiliate) holding a majority of the then issued and outstanding Preferred Shares (not taking into account Preferred Shares held by Preferred Shareholders involved in such issuance) shall have agreed to such resolution.

In the event that the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities or a Financing, it shall give each Eligible Shareholder written notice of its intention, describing the type of New Securities, the price, the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same, and the identity of the proposed acquirer of such New Securities (if any) or the terms of the Financing (as applicable). Each Eligible Shareholder shall have fourteen (14) days after receipt of such notice to agree to purchase up to its pro rata share of such New Securities at the price and upon the terms specified in the notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased or to agree to participate in the Financing (as applicable). Failure to timely agree to purchase New Securities, or to participate in the Financing, in whole or in part, shall be deemed as a decision not to purchase such New Securities by such Eligible Shareholder, or not to participate in the Financing. If any Eligible Shareholder fails to agree to purchase its full pro rata share, or participate in the Financing in accordance with its pro rata share, within such fourteen (14) day period, the Company will give the Eligible Shareholders who did so agree (the “Accepting Shareholders”) notice of the number of shares offered to Eligible Shareholders, or the portion of the Financing, that were not subscribed for within two (2) days from the expiry of the aforementioned fourteen (14) day period. Accepting Shareholders shall have the right to purchase a pro rata portion of any other Eligible Shareholder that has not exercised its said preemptive right by giving written notice to the Company within seven (7) days after receipt of such additional notice, and stating therein the quantity of New

 

22


Securities to be purchased, or the portion of the Financing to be financed, as applicable (and in the event that the Accepting Shareholders offer to purchase more than all of the unsubscribed the New Securities, or to finance more than all of the unsubscribed Financing portion, such portion shall be allocated among such Accepting Shareholders relatively to the number of unsubscribed New Securities or Financing portion (as applicable) each such Accepting Shareholder subscribed for); provided, that the Eligible Shareholders shall not be obligated to consummate the purchase of such New Securities or the Financing (as applicable) if the Company consummates no more than 50% of the sale of the New Securities or Financing (as applicable) pursuant to the terms described in the Company’s notice.

 

  14.2.

In the event that by the end of the fourteen (14) and seven (7) day periods specified above, not all of the New Securities or Financing have been subscribed for by Eligible Shareholders, the Company shall have ninety (90) days thereafter to sell all or part of the remaining New Securities or conclude the Financing, with respect to which the rights of the Eligible Shareholders were not exercised, at a price not lower and upon terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company’s notice. In the event the Company has not sold the New Securities or completed the Financing (as applicable), within such ninety (90) day period the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities or perform the Financing, without first offering such New Securities or Financing to the Eligible Shareholders and in the manner provided above.

 

  14.3.

An Eligible Shareholder may assign its right under this Article 14 only to its Permitted Transferee.

 

  14.4.

If the offer to Eligible Shareholders under this Article 14 constitutes an offer to the public under applicable laws which is subject to prospectus requirements then such offer shall be limited to (i) the type of offerees the offering to which is exempted from such prospectus requirement, and (ii) to such limited number of Eligible Shareholders with the highest percentage holdings in the Company (aggregating holdings of Permitted Transferees for the purpose of calculating the Eligible Shareholders with the highest holdings); provided, that such Permitted Transferees shall be considered as separate entities to the extent viewed as such by applicable law; and further, provided that the transfers to such Permitted Transferees were not made for the purpose of increasing the number of entities that are Permitted Transferees of the original transferring Eligible Shareholder(s) eligible to participate in the offer to Eligible Shareholders under this Article 14), not including and in addition to the original offerees, the offering to which is exempted from such prospectus requirement.

 

  14.5.

All Preferred Shares held or acquired by affiliated entities or persons or persons or entities under common management or control shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights under this Article 14.

 

  14.6.

With respect to each Eligible Shareholder, the right to participate in an issuance of New Securities or a Financing pursuant to this Article 14 shall expire upon the consummation of an IPO.

PAYMENT IN INSTALLMENTS

  16.1.

The Board may, from time to time, make such calls as it may deem appropriate upon Shareholders in respect of any sum unpaid in respect of shares held by such Shareholders which is not, by the terms of allotment thereof or otherwise, payable at a fixed time, and each Shareholder shall pay the amount of every call so made upon him (and of each installment thereof if the same is payable in installments), to the Person(s) and at the time(s) and place(s) designated by the Board, as any such time(s) may be thereafter extended and/or such Person(s) or place(s) changed. Unless otherwise stipulated in the resolution of the Board (and in the notice referred to in Article 16.2), each payment in response to a call shall be deemed to constitute a pro rata payment on account of all shares in respect of which such call was made.

 

  16.2.

Notice of any call shall be given in writing to the applicable Shareholder(s) not less than fourteen (14) days prior to the time of payment, specifying the time and place of payment, and designating the Person to whom and the place where such payment shall be made; provided, however, that before the time for any such payment, the Board may, by notice in writing to such Shareholder(s), revoke such call in whole or in part, extend such time, or alter such designated Person and/or place. In the event of a call payable in installments, only one notice thereof need be given.

 

  16.3.

If, by the terms of allotment of any share or otherwise, any amount is made payable at any fixed time, every such amount shall be payable at such time as if it were a call duly made by the Board and of which due notice had been given, and all the provisions herein contained with respect to calls shall apply to each such amount.

 

  16.4.

The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof and all interest payable thereon.

 

  16.5.

Any amount unpaid in respect of a call shall bear interest from the date on which it is payable until actual payment thereof, at such rate (not exceeding the then prevailing debitory rate charged by leading commercial banks in Israel), and at such time(s) as the Board may prescribe.

 

  16.6.

A Shareholder shall not be entitled to his rights as shareholder, including dividend, unless he has paid all the amounts detailed in the calls made on him together with interest and expenses, if any, unless otherwise prescribed by the Board.

 

  16.7.

Upon the allotment of shares, the Board may provide for differences among the allottees of such shares as to the amount of calls and/or the times of payment thereof.

 

24


17.

PREPAYMENT

With the approval of the Board, any Shareholder may prepay to the Company any amount not yet payable in respect of his shares. Nothing in this Article 17 shall derogate from the right of the Board to make any call before or after receipt by the Company of any such advance.

 

18.

FORFEITURE AND SURRENDER

 

  18.1.

If any Shareholder fails to pay any amount payable in respect of a call, or interest thereon as provided herein, on or before the day fixed for payment of the same, the Company, by resolution of the Board, may at any time thereafter, so long as such amount or interest remains unpaid, forfeit all or any of the shares in respect of which such call had been made. Any expense incurred by the Company in attempting to collect any such amount or interest, including, inter alia, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of suit, shall be added to, and shall, for all purposes (including the accrual of interest thereon), constitute a part of the amount payable to the Company in respect of such call.

 

  18.2.

Upon the adoption of a resolution of forfeiture, the Board shall cause notice thereof to be given to the Shareholder whose shares are the subject of such forfeiture, which notice shall state that, in the event of the failure to pay the entire amount so payable within a period stipulated in the notice (which period shall not be less than fourteen (14) days and which may be extended by the Board), such shares shall be ipso facto forfeited, provided, however, that, prior to the expiration of such period, the Board may nullify such resolution of forfeiture, but no such nullification shall stop the Board from adopting a further resolution of forfeiture in respect of the non-payment of such amount.

 

  18.3.

Whenever shares are forfeited as herein provided, all distributions theretofore declared in respect thereof and not actually paid or distributed shall be deemed to have been forfeited at the same time.

 

  18.4.

The Company, by resolution of the Board, may accept the voluntary surrender of any share.

 

  18.5.

Any share forfeited or surrendered as provided herein shall become the property of the Company, and the same, subject to the provisions of these Articles and the Companies Law, may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of as the Board deems appropriate. Any such share shall become a dormant share, and shall not confer any rights, so long as it is held by the Company.

 

  18.6.

Any Shareholder whose shares have been forfeited or surrendered shall cease to be a Shareholder in respect of the forfeited or surrendered shares, but shall, notwithstanding, be liable to pay, and shall forthwith pay, to the Company, all calls, interest and expenses owing upon or in respect of such shares at the time of forfeiture or surrender, together with interest thereon from the time of forfeiture or surrender until actual payment, at the rate prescribed in Article 16.5 above, and the Board, in its discretion, may enforce the payment of such moneys, or any part thereof, but shall not be under any obligation to do so. In the event of such forfeiture or surrender, the Company, by resolution of the Board, may accelerate the date(s) of payment of any or all amounts then owing by the Shareholder in question (but not yet due) in respect of all shares owned by such Shareholder, solely or jointly with another, and in respect of any other matter or transaction whatsoever.

 

25


  18.7.

The Board may at any time, before any share so forfeited or surrendered shall have been sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of, nullify the forfeiture or surrender on such conditions as it deems appropriate, but no such nullification shall estop the Board from re-exercising its powers of forfeiture pursuant to this Article 18.

 

19.

LIEN

 

  19.1.

Except to the extent the same may be waived or subordinated in writing, the Company shall have a first and paramount lien upon all the shares registered in the name of each Shareholder which are not fully paid up (without regard to any equitable or other claim or interest in such shares on the part of any other Person), and upon the proceeds of the sale thereof, for his debts, liabilities and engagements arising from any cause whatsoever, solely or jointly with another, to or with the Company, whether the period for the payment, fulfillment or discharge thereof shall have actually arrived or not. Such lien shall extend to all distributions from time to time declared in respect of such shares. Unless otherwise provided, the registration by the Company of a transfer of shares shall be deemed to be a waiver on the part of the Company of any lien existing on such shares immediately prior to such transfer.

 

  19.2.

The Board may cause the Company to sell any shares subject to such lien when any such debt, liability or engagement has matured, in such manner as the Board may deem appropriate, but no such sale shall be made unless such debt, liability or engagement has not been satisfied within fourteen (14) days after written notice of the Company’s intention to sell shall have been served on such Shareholder, his executors or administrators.

 

  19.3.

The net proceeds of any such sale, after payment of the costs thereof, shall be applied in or toward satisfaction of the debts, liabilities or engagements of such Shareholder (whether or not the same have matured), or any specific part of the same (as the Board may determine), and the balance, if any, shall be paid to the Shareholder, his executors, administrators or assigns.

TRANSFER OF SHARES

 

22.

TRANSFER OF SHARES—GENERAL; LIMITATIONS

 

  22.1.

Except for transfers to Permitted Transferees, no sale, assignment, conveyance, pledge, grant of any security interest or gift, or any other disposition or transfer (collectively, a “Transfer”) of shares shall be effective unless such Transfer is effected in compliance with the provisions of Articles 22, 23, 24 and 25. Any proposed Transfer shall be subject to a prior approval of the Board, which consent shall not be withheld if the Transfer is effected in accordance with the provisions of these Articles. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence: (i) the Board may refuse to approve any proposed Transfer to a competitor of the Company or to any other Person for reasonable reasons that will be detailed in its resolution; and (ii) further, notwithstanding anything stated in these Articles or otherwise, the Board may refuse to approve (which approval may be refused for any reason or no reason, at the Board’s sole discretion) any proposed Transfer of Shares by a shareholder that holds less than 3.0% of the fully diluted share capital of the Company (taking into account all the shares and options of such transferor on an as-converted and as-exercised basis together with its Permitted Transferees) prior to the proposed Transfer. Notwithstanding, subarticle (ii) herein shall not apply to (x) any shareholder that holds, as of December 3, 2019, or held as of March 29, 2018, at least 3.0% of the fully diluted share capital of the Company as calculated in this Article 22.1 and including in that calculation, for that purpose only, any shares to be purchased under the Series F Purchase Agreement. No Transfer shall be valid in the event that such a Transfer is in violation of these Articles, and the Company shall refuse to register the Transfer of Shares in such event. The Company may refuse to register a Transfer of Shares if the Transferee does not agree, in writing, prior to such Transfer, to assume and be bound by all obligations of the Transferor under any instrument and agreement between the Transferor and the Company.

Notwithstanding the above, any Transfer of Shares by a Shareholder to any of such Shareholder’s Permitted Transferees shall not be subject to the provisions of Article 23, provided that any such Permitted Transferee undertakes in writing towards the Company and the Shareholders to assume and be bound by all obligations of the Transferor under any instrument and agreement involving the transferor and the Company. In the event that any of the Founders transfers shares to his or its Permitted Transferee(s), the respective Permitted Transferee will be required to provide such selling Founder with an irrevocable power of attorney, in the form acceptable to the Preferred Majority, with respect to all of its voting rights and rights to nominate Directors (if any).

 

  22.2.

No Transfer of shares shall be registered unless the Company receives a deed of transfer or other proper instrument of transfer (in form and substance satisfactory to the Board or the corporate secretary of the Company) duly executed by the parties thereto, together with the share certificate(s), to the extent issued (or evidence of defacing, loss or destruction thereof), and such other evidence of title as the Board or the corporate secretary of the Company may reasonably require. Until the Transferee has been registered in the Shareholder Register in respect of the shares so transferred, the Company may

 

27


  continue to regard the transferor as the owner thereof. The Board may, from time to time, prescribe a fee for the registration of a Transfer. A deed of transfer shall be substantially in the following form or in any form otherwise approved by the Board or the corporate secretary of the Company:

 

Deed of Transfer

In witness whereof we hereby execute this Deed of Transfer, this ___day of ______, 20__.

  22.3.

In case of a death of a Shareholder, the Company shall recognize the custodian or administrator of the estate or executor of the will, and in the absence of such, the lawful heirs of the Shareholder, as the only holders of the right for the shares of the deceased Shareholder, after receipt of evidence to the entitlement thereto, as determined by the Board.

 

  22.4.

The Company may recognize the receiver or liquidator of any corporate Shareholder in liquidation or dissolution, or the receiver or trustee in bankruptcy of any Shareholder, as being entitled to the shares registered in the name of such Shareholder, after receipt of evidence to the entitlement thereto, as determined by the Board.

 

  22.5.

A Person acquiring a right in shares as a result of being a custodian, administrator of the estate, executor of a will or the heir of a Shareholder, or a receiver, liquidator or a trustee in a bankruptcy of a Shareholder or according to another provision of Law, is entitled, after providing evidence of his right to the satisfaction of the Board, to be registered as the Shareholder or, subject to the provisions of this Article 22, to transfer such shares to another Person.

23.

RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL

 

  23.1.

Subject to compliance with the provisions of Article 22 and Article 23.6 herein and the provisions of the Repurchase Agreements between the Company and each of the Founders, any Shareholder proposing to Transfer all or any of his shares in the Company (the “Offered Shares”), pursuant to the terms of a bona fide offer received from any third party, other than a Permitted Transferee (the “Offeror”), shall first give written notice to the Company, which notice shall include the proposed price, the proposed buyer(s) and the terms of sale of the Offered Shares (the “Offer Notice”). The Company shall send the Offer Notice with respect to the Offered Shares to all Eligible Shareholders (as defined in Article 14.1 hereof) (for purposes of this Article 23.1, the “Offerees”). Any Offeree may accept such offer (under the same terms set forth in the Offer Notice) in respect of all or any of the Offered Shares by giving the Offeror (with a copy to the Company) notice to that effect within fourteen (14) days after receiving the Offer Notice. Failure to timely accept the Offered Shares, in whole or in part, shall be deemed as a decision not to purchase any of the Offered Shares. The accepting Offerees shall be entitled to acquire the Offered Shares, on the terms aforementioned, in proportion to their respective holdings of shares on an As Converted Basis among the accepting Offerees, provided that no Offeree shall be required to acquire, under the provisions of this Article 23, more than the number of Offered Shares initially accepted by such Offeree, and upon the allocation to him of the full number of shares so accepted, he shall be disregarded in any subsequent computations and allocations hereunder. Any shares remaining after the computation of such respective entitlements shall be re-allocated among the Offerees who accepted such offer (other than those to be disregarded as aforesaid), in the same manner, until one hundred percent (100%) of the Offered Shares have been allocated as aforesaid.

 

  23.2.

Subject to Article 23.4 below, if the acceptances by Offerees, in the aggregate, are in respect of less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Offered Shares, then the Offeror, at the expiration of the aforementioned fourteen (14) day period, shall be entitled, subject to compliance with the provisions of Articles 22, 24 and 25, to Transfer the Offered Shares to the buyer(s) identified in the Offer Notice at a price not lower and on terms no more favorable to the Offeror than those stated in the Offer Notice, and provided further that if the Offered Shares are not transferred within ninety (90) days after the expiration of such fourteen (14) day period, any subsequent sale shall again be subject to the provisions of this Article 23.

 

  23.3.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 23 above, the right of first refusal mechanism shall apply to an offer by a Preferred Shareholder, in a manner that initially the Preferred Shareholders will have a pro rata (on As Converted Basis) right of first refusal to purchase all share capital of the Company offered for sale by a Preferred Shareholder, and shall be entitled to purchase the pro rata portion of any other Preferred Shareholder that does not exercise such right. Thereafter, the other Eligible Shareholders shall be entitled to purchase the pro rata portion of any share capital of the Company offered for sale by a Preferred Shareholder with respect of which the other Preferred Shareholders did not exercise such right.

 

29


  23.4.

In the event that the proposed price in the Offer Notice is for an aggregate in excess of $7,000,000 and the acceptances by Offerees are in respect of at least 80% of the Offered Shares, then Article 23.2 shall not apply and instead, this Article 23.4 shall apply:

 

  (a)

If the acceptances by Offerees, in the aggregate, are in respect of less than one hundred percent (100%) but at least eighty percent (80%) of the Offered Shares, then the Offeror, at the expiration of the aforementioned fourteen (14) day period, shall be required to Transfer the Offered Shares accepted by the Offerees under Article 23.1 to Accepting Offerees and shall be entitled, subject to compliance with the provisions of Articles 22, 24 and 25, to Transfer the Offered Shares not accepted by the Offerees under Section 23.1 (the “Remaining Offered Shares”) above to the buyer(s) identified in the Offer Notice at a price not lower and on terms no more favorable to the Offeror than those stated in the Offer Notice, and provided further that if the Remaining Offered Shares are not transferred within ninety (90) days after the expiration of such fourteen (14) day period, any subsequent sale shall again be subject to the provisions of this Article 23; or

 

  (b)

if the acceptances by Offerees are in respect of less than 100%, then Offeror shall be entitled to revoke the Offer Notice within 7 days of the end of the aforementioned 14-day period (it being understood that all shares in the Company held by such Offeror shall remain subject to Articles 22, 24 and 25).

 

  (c)

The right to purchase the Offered Shares may be exercised by Affiliates and related parties of the Eligible Shareholders, subject to compliance with Article 23.7 below.

 

  23.5.

The right of first refusal granted under this Article 23 shall not apply to a sale of all or substantially all of the shares of the Company and shall expire upon the consummation of an IPO.

 

  23.6.

It is further clarified that the Right of First Refusal pursuant to this Article 23 is not assignable, other than upon an assignment of rights and obligations that is coupled with Transfer of Securities to which such rights and obligations relate (and to the extent such Transfer is made in accordance with the provisions of these Articles) and except for an assignment to any of its Permitted Transferees.

 

  23.7.

Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event the Board, after consultation with legal counsel, determines that offering Eligible Shareholders a Right of First Refusal in accordance with the provisions of this Article 23 or otherwise) without a prospectus may reasonably be expected to lead to a breach or violation of any applicable securities laws or regulations, then: (i) Offered Shares will be offered only to Eligible Shareholders who are holders of Preferred Shares; (ii) the Right of First Refusal may be accepted by Eligible Shareholders acting through a special purpose vehicle (to the extent permissible under law) and (iii) the Right of First Refusal will not be offered to any Shareholder unless such Shareholder provides the Company with appropriate certificates or representations that it is an accredited investor or a qualified Israeli investor (as such terms are defined in the applicable securities laws)).

24.

BRING ALONG

 

  24.1.

Subject to the provisions of Article 49 and Section 24.8, until the consummation of an IPO, if (i) a bona fide detailed offer from any Person who is not an Affiliate of a Preferred Shareholder (the “Third Party”) is made to purchase at least 50% (fifty percent) of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company (a “Proposed Transaction”), and (ii) (a) at least the Preferred Majority and (b) the holders of at least 50% of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company, voting together as a single class (together, the “Proposing Shareholders”), indicate their acceptance of such Proposed Transaction, then all remaining Shareholders (the “Remaining Shareholders”) will be required, if so demanded in writing by the Proposing Shareholders (the “Bring Along Notice”), to sell the same portion of their shares to such Third Party upon the terms and conditions of the Proposed Transaction, which terms and conditions shall be identical for all Shareholders in their capacities as Shareholders, subject to Section 24.8 (for example: if the Proposing Shareholders are selling only 60% of their shares to the Third Party then all Remaining Shareholders will be required, if so demanded in writing by the Proposing Shareholders, to sell 60% of their shares to such Third Party, upon the terms and conditions of the Proposed Transaction, subject to Section 24.8). For the avoidance of doubt it is hereby clarified, that the provisions of this Article 24 set forth an independent and distinct arrangement, separate and unrelated to the procedures set forth in Section 341 of the Companies Law, which the Company’s shareholders intend to apply in the circumstances described therein, and that any conditions or requirements that are set forth in Section 341 shall not apply to the arrangements set forth in this Article 24. Without limitation of the foregoing, in the event of a Proposed Transaction, the provisions of Section 341 may also be implemented, without derogating from this Article 24, and in such event the shareholding requirement for purposes of Section 341(a) of the Companies Law, shall be the consent of the Proposing Shareholders, and to the extent that the forced sale provisions of Section 341 are implemented, the procedure set forth in Section 341 regarding the forced sale by shareholders which do not participate in the Proposed Transaction, shall apply.

 

  24.2.

Upon receipt of the Bring Along Notice and subject to the aforesaid, each Remaining Shareholder shall be compelled to sell all or a portion of its shares, as the case may be, in connection with such Proposed Transaction, notwithstanding any other no sale limitation, first refusal rights or other rights or restrictions set forth in these Articles, and the proceeds of such Proposed Transaction shall be distributed among all Shareholders in accordance with the provisions set forth in Article 94 below.

 

  24.3.

At the closing of the Proposed Transaction (which place, date and time shall be designated by the Proposing Shareholders and provided to each of the Remaining Shareholders at least fifteen (15) days in advance), each such Remaining Shareholder shall deliver to the Company certificates evidencing all or portion of its shares (to the extent issued), as the case may be, duly endorsed or accompanied by written instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Third Party, duly executed by such Remaining Shareholder, free and clear of any liens, charges, claims, rights or encumbrances whatsoever, or shall approve and vote in favor of such sale in the Purchase Notice, as the case may be, against delivery of the purchase price therefor.

 

  24.4.

If a Remaining Shareholder is obligated to sell its shares, or approve and vote in favor of such sale in accordance with this Article 24, and such Remaining Shareholder fails to deliver the certificates representing such shares in accordance with the terms of this Article 24 or fails to approve and vote in

 

31


  favor of such sale, the Company shall cancel on its share transfer records the certificate or certificates representing the shares required to be sold pursuant to this Article 24 (and shall issue new certificates in the name of the Third Party) and such shares in the possession of the Remaining Shareholder (or the legal representative of such Remaining Shareholder) shall cease to be outstanding for any purpose other than evidencing such Shareholder’s right to receive the same consideration as the Proposing Shareholders for its shares (subject to the allocation of the aggregate consideration in accordance with the terms hereof), whereupon all of the rights of such Remaining Shareholder (or the legal representative of such Remaining Shareholder) in and to such shares shall terminate.

 

  24.5.

Upon the failure by a Shareholder to take the actions required by this Article 24 after requested by the Company, each of the Shareholders (i) irrevocably appoints the designee of the Proposing Shareholders as its agent and attorney-in-fact (the “Agent”) (with full power of substitution) to execute all agreements, instruments and certificates and take all actions necessary or desirable to effectuate any sale in accordance with the provisions of this Article 24; and (ii) grants to the Agent a proxy to vote the shares held by the Shareholders in favor of any Proposed Transaction hereunder in compliance with the provisions of this Article 24.

 

  24.6.

Subject to Section 24.8, each Remaining Shareholder, whether in its capacity as a Shareholder, officer or Director of the Company, or otherwise, shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or reasonably desirable in order to expeditiously consummate the Proposed Transaction pursuant to this Article 24 and any related transactions, including, without limitation, executing, acknowledging and delivering consents, assignments, waivers and other documents or instruments; furnishing information and copies of documents; filing applications, reports, returns, filings and other documents or instruments with governmental authorities; voting its shares (by written consent or otherwise), with respect to such shares which such Remaining Shareholder is entitled to vote at any meeting of Shareholders of the Company (whether ordinary or extraordinary and whether or not an adjourned or postponed meeting) or consent in lieu of any such meeting or otherwise, in favor of the consummation of such Proposed Transaction and any related transactions; and otherwise cooperating with the Proposing Shareholders and the prospective Third Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Remaining Shareholder agrees to execute and deliver such agreements as may be reasonably specified by the Proposing Shareholders to which such Proposing Shareholders will also be a party as long as such agreements reflect the substantial terms of the Bring Along Notice.

 

  24.7.

In the event of a Proposed Transaction for the purchase of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (the “Asset Purchase Transaction”), instead of the share capital of the Company, and (A) the Proposing Shareholders support such a transaction (the “Asset Purchase Supporting Shareholders”) and (B) the Board (i) approves the Asset Purchase Transaction and (ii) declares, subject to applicable law, all net proceeds from the Asset Purchase Transaction, after repayment of all debts, loans and other liabilities of the Company, as dividend, then all Shareholders other than the Asset Purchase Supporting Shareholders will be required, if so demanded in writing by the Asset Purchase Supporting Shareholders, to take or cause to be taken all such actions as may

 

32


  be necessary or reasonably desirable in order to expeditiously consummate the Asset Purchase Transaction and any related transactions, including, without limitation, executing, acknowledging and delivering consents, assignments, waivers and other documents or instruments; voting its shares (by written consent or otherwise), with respect to such shares which it is entitled to vote at any meeting of Shareholders of the Company (whether ordinary or extraordinary and whether or not an adjourned or postponed meeting) or consent in lieu of any such meeting or otherwise, in favor of the consummation of such Asset Purchase Transaction and any related transactions.

 

  24.8.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Major Holder of Preferred Shares (defined as (x) a Preferred Shareholder that (collectively with its affiliates) holds (as of the time of the Proposed Transaction), or who (collectively with its affiliates) previously held, at least 10% of the outstanding Preferred Shares, and (y) Vitruvian provided Vitruvian has not failed to timely transfer funds to the Company pursuant to the terms of the Series F Share Purchase Agreement), will not be required to comply with this Article 24 in connection with any Proposed Transaction unless: (a) upon the consummation of the Proposed Transaction, (i) the aggregate consideration receivable under the terms of the Proposed Transaction by all holders of the Preferred Shares will be allocated among the holders of Preferred Shares pari passu on the basis of the relative liquidation preferences to which the holders of each respective series of Preferred Shares are entitled in accordance with Article 94, (ii) each holder of Preferred Shares will receive the same form of consideration (or option or election rights as to the form of consideration) for their Preferred Shares as is received by other holders in respect of their Preferred Shares, and (iii) each holder of a series of Preferred Shares will receive the same amount of consideration per share of such series of Preferred Shares as is received by other holders in respect of their shares of such same series; (b) the liability for indemnification of any    Major Holder of Preferred Shares in the Proposed Transaction, including for the inaccuracy or breach of any representations and warranties or covenants made by the Company or any Shareholder in connection with such Proposed Transaction (i) shall be not greater in proportion to the consideration received than other holders of Preferred Shares; and (ii) shall be several and not joint, and (iii) shall be limited to not more than 100% of such holder’s aggregate consideration actually received in the Proposed Transaction, other than in the case of fraud by such holder; and (c) no Major Holder of Preferred Shares (or any of its affiliates), who are not officers or employees or former employees or officers of the Company shall be required to amend, waive any rights with respect to, extend or terminate any commercial contractual or other commercial relationship with the Company, the acquirer or their respective affiliates (other than any agreements that apply solely to its relationship with the Company as a shareholder, officer, director, investor or employee of the Company) or to agree to any covenant to, or to cause or subject any parent or then-existing affiliate of the holder, not to compete (or similar restrictive covenants of any kind or nature) with the Company or the Third Party.

 

33


25.

RIGHT OF CO-SALE

 

  25.1.

Subject to compliance with the provisions of Article 22, 23 and 24 hereof if, at any time prior to the consummation of an IPO, a holder of Ordinary Shares (other than a Shareholder which is also a holder of Preferred F Shares) (the “Co-Sale Offeror”) wishes to Transfer any Ordinary Shares of the Company held by it pursuant to the terms of a bona fide offer received from any party, other than a Permitted Transferee thereof (the “Buyer”), such Co-Sale Offeror shall promptly give the Company and each holder of Preferred Shares (the “Co-Sale Offerees”), written notice thereof, which fully describes the proposed transfer (the “Co-Sale Offer”). Each Co-Sale Offeree shall have the right to require, within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the Co-Sale Offer, as a condition to such Transfer described therein, that the Buyer shall purchase from such Co-Sale Offeree (any Co-Sale Offeree who exercises such right is referred to herein as a “Participant”) at the same price per share and on the same terms and conditions as involved in such Transfer by the Co-Sale Offeror that number of shares of the Company (or portion thereof) expressed by multiplying (i) that number of Ordinary Shares, on an As Converted Basis, proposed to be acquired by the Buyer (the “Transaction Shares”) by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares then held by such Participant, on an As Converted Basis, and the denominator of which is the sum of (A) the aggregate number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares then held by all Co-Sale Offerees, on an As Converted Basis, and (B) the aggregate number of issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares then held by such Co-Sale Offeror, (as the case may be) which are offered for sale to the Buyer on an As Converted Basis (such portion with respect to each such Participant shall be referred to as the “Participant’s Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion”). If a Participant did not respond to a Co-Sale Offer within the aforesaid time period, it shall be deemed to be refusing to participate in such transfer.

 

  25.2.

In the event that one or more of the Participants shall elect to participate in such Transfer, each such Participant shall communicate in writing such election to the Co-Sale Offeror within the aforesaid period of time, and, if the Transfer to the Buyer is consummated, such Participant shall be entitled to transfer shares to the Buyer as part thereof, and no transfer of any shares of the Company by the Co-Sale Offeror shall be completed unless simultaneously with such transfer the Buyer purchases the Participant’s Co-Sale Pro Rata Portion of the Transaction Shares at the same price per share and on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Co-Sale Offer. If none of the Co-Sale Offerees elected to participate in such transfer, or if some of them did elect to so participate, then the Co-Sale Offeror shall be entitled to Transfer all, or the appropriate pro rata portion (together with the Participating Participants’ shares), as applicable, of the Transaction Shares to the Buyer at any time within ninety (90) days thereafter. Any such Transfer shall be at no more favorable terms and conditions to the Co-Sale Offeror than those specified in the Co-Sale Offer. Any of the Co-Sale Offeror’s shares in the Company not sold within such ninety (90) day period shall again be subject to the requirements of this Article 25.

 

  25.3.

The rights of co-sale under this Article 25 shall not apply to a Transfer by Co-Sale Offeror to its Permitted Transferee; provided that such Permitted Transferee agrees in writing to be bound by all obligations of the Co-Sale Offeror under any instrument and agreement involving the Co-Sale Offeror and the Company, including the provisions of this Article 25.

 

34


  25.4.

For the avoidance of doubt, the right of the Participants hereunder does not in any way or manner limit their right under Article 23 and each of the Participants shall have the right to exercise its rights under Article 23 and/or under Article 25 in its sole discretion; it being understood that in the event Offerees under Article 23 accept the Offered Shares, such Offered Shares shall be transferred to them in accordance with Article 23 and the co-sale right under this Article 25 shall then not apply.

 

26.

FOUNDER NO-SALE.

Unless unanimously approved by the Board, prior to the earlier of (a) a Qualified Public Offering or (b) a Realization Event, the Founders shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate, mortgage or dispose of, by gift or otherwise, or in any way encumber any of their shares in the Company (a “Disposition”), other than: (i) to a Permitted Transferee, or (ii) in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of the shares of the Company (including by way of a merger and including as part of a sale of Securities pursuant to a transaction which is subject to the Bring Along right (as stipulated in Article 24 above), or (iii) Disposition of up to 5% of the shares held by each Founder as of November 1, 2012 in each twelve months period commencing November 1, 2016 and not more than 15% in the aggregate prior to the closing of a Qualified Public Offering.
