ITEM 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

On July 9, 2021, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Gu with respect to Mr. Gu’s service as Executive Chairman of Hyzon. The employment agreement provided Mr. Gu with an annual base salary of $475,000. Mr. Gu was also eligible to receive an annual cash bonus with an annual target of up to 70% of his base salary. In addition, Mr. Gu received grants of stock options under the Hyzon Motors Inc. 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) and was entitled to participate in the Company’s employee health/welfare and retirement benefit plans and programs as were made available to senior-level executives or employees generally.

 

On November 10, 2022, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with Mr. Gu with respect to Mr. Gu’s transition from his role as Executive Chairman of the Company to his role as Chairman of the Board. Under the Letter Agreement, Mr. Gu’s employment agreement was terminated and the Company agreed to provide Mr. Gu with the following payments and benefits that were provided under his employment agreement: (i) a lump sum payment of $475,000, less applicable withholdings, within 30 days of the effectiveness of a general release and waiver of claims by Mr. Gu to the Company, and (ii) continued medical benefits (as defined in the employment agreement) for up to 12 months. The Letter Agreement contained a general release and waiver of claims, subject to customary exceptions.

 

On November 10, 2022, the Company and Mr. Gu entered into a Board of Directors and Strategic Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) covering Mr. Gu's services as Chairman of the Board. Under the Advisory Agreement, Mr. Gu, at the request of the Company, performed various technical advisory services. The Advisory Agreement was terminated on August 24, 2023 upon Mr. Gu’s resignation as Chairman of the Board.

 

On December 20, 2023, Horizon completed a restructuring (the “Restructuring”) pursuant to which:

 

(i)Hymas sold 88,151,483 Shares (the “Affiliate Sale Shares”) to Horizon;
(ii)Hymas granted call options (“Hymas Call Options”) to purchase an aggregate of 233,826 Shares to (x) certain shareholders and option holders of JS Horizon and (y) certain security holders of Horizon, with such options having a ten-year term and an exercise price of $0.001 per Share;
(iii)Hymas sold an aggregate of 23,691,402 Shares to (x) certain shareholders and option holders of JS Horizon and (y) certain security holders of Horizon;
(iv)Horizon granted call options (“HFTC Call Options”) to purchase an aggregate of 53,305,871 Shares to certain securityholders of Horizon), with such options having a ten-year term and an exercise price of $0.001 per Share, of which options to purchase 29,100,464 Shares were immediately exercised; and
(v)Horizon sold 34,825,174 T-Shares (as defined below) to certain securityholders of Horizon, including Mr. Gu.

 

10

 

 

The purchase price for the T-Shares and for the Shares in each of the above transactions, as applicable, was $0.001 per Share. The exercise price for each of the HFTC Options and Hymas Options is $0.001.

 

In connection with the Restructuring, Horizon created a new class of tracking stock that is intended to track the financial performance of the Shares (“T-Shares”). The terms of the T-Shares provide that they are exchangeable for Shares during the Exercise Windows (as defined in Horizon’s amended and restated constitution (the “HFTC Constitution”)) at the election of the holder based on an exchange ratio of one T-Share for one Share. Upon a qualified IPO (as defined in the HFTC Constitution), the T-Shares will be automatically exchanged for Shares, subject to adjustments for, among other things, stock splits and stock combinations. Holders of T-Shares have no voting or disposition rights in the Shares underlying their respective T-Shares. Horizon remains the record holder and the beneficial owner of the 34,825,174 Shares underlying the T-Shares.

 

The form of option agreement setting forth the terms of the Hymas Call Options is attached as Exhibit 2 to this Third Amendment. The form of option agreement setting forth the terms of the HFTC Call Options is attached as Exhibit 3 to this Third Amendment. The form of the stock sale agreement setting forth the terms of the purchase of Shares from Hymas by Horizon is attached as Exhibit 4 to this Third Amendment. The form of the stock sale agreement setting forth the terms of the purchase of Shares from Hymas by various purchasers is attached as Exhibit 5 to this Third Amendment. The subscription agreement setting forth the terms of the purchase of T-Shares from Horizon by certain option holders and warrant holders of Horizon is attached as Exhibit 6 to this Third Amendment.

 

Except as set forth in this Third Amendment, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, there are no other contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 and between such persons and any person, with respect to any securities of the Company, including but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the securities of the Company, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees or profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies, or a pledge or contingency the occurrence of which would give another person voting power over the securities of the Company.

LTD., a company incorporated in Singapore (Company Registration No. 201815667M) whose registered office is at 48 Toh Guan Road East, #05-124, Enterprise Hub, Singapore 608586 (the “Company”) and the holder named on the Holder’s signature page attached hereto (the “Holder”).

(the “Parent”) that has been approved by the board and the shareholders of the Parent, Jiangsu Horizon New Energy Technologies Co., Ltd. and the Company.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to the terms and conditions herein contained, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND SALE

 

1.1 Grant of Call Option. The Company hereby grants to the Holder, and the Holder shall have, an irrevocable right, but not an obligation, of the Holder to purchase and to cause the Company to sell to the Holder (such right, the “Call Option”) with respect to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock set forth on the Holder’s signature page attached hereto (the “Option Shares”), with par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) of Hyzon Motors Inc. (the “ListCo”) (subject to adjustment under Section 1.6 below), free and clear of all Liens. “Lien” means any claim, charge, mortgage, security, lien, option, equity, power of sale, hypothecation, retention of title, right of pre-emption, right of first refusal or security interest of any kind (other than this Agreement and transfer restrictions under applicable securities law).

 

1.2 Exercise of the Call Option.

 

(a) Subject to Section 1.2(b), the Holder may exercise the Call Option (in whole but not in part, and only on one single occasion), at its sole discretion at any time during any Exercise Window that occurs prior to the Call Option Expiry Date, by written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto indicating such exercise (the “Call Option Exercise Notice”) to the Company. “Exercise Window” means (x) the fifteen-day period immediately following the date of this Agreement, (y) the fifteen-day period commencing on each of January 1 and July 1 of every year and (z) during any other period specified by the board of the Company and notified by the Company to the Holder. “Call Option Expiry Date” means (i) the date falling 10 years after the date of this Agreement; or (ii) such other date as agreed in writing between the Buyer and Holder.

 

(b) Notwithstanding Section 1.2(a), the Company may, at any time and at its sole discretion, notify the Holder in writing (such notice, a “Qualified IPO Exercise Notice”) that the Parent has commenced preparatory work in respect of a Qualified IPO (as defined in the constitution of the Parent, as varied, amended or restated from time to time (the “Constitution”)). Upon the delivery by the Company of a Qualified IPO Exercise Notice, (i) the Call Option will be deemed to be automatically exercised in whole and (ii) the Holder will be deemed to have represented and warranted that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.2 of this Agreement remain true and accurate as of the date of the Qualified IPO Exercise Notice and the Closing Date.

Following delivery by the Holder of a Call Option Exercise Notice or delivery by the Company of a Qualified IPO Exercise Notice, in each case, pursuant to this Agreement and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 1.5, the closing of the purchase and sale of the Option Shares (the “Closing”) shall occur at the offices of the Company as soon as reasonably practical following the receipt by the Company of the Call Option Exercise Notice or the Qualified IPO Delivery Notice (as the case may be) or delivery by the Company of the Qualified IPO Exercise Notice (the “Closing Date”). Unless otherwise agreed upon by the Company and the Holder, settlement of the Option Shares shall occur via “Delivery Free of Payment” (e.g., the Holder shall make payment for Option Shares purchased by it upon the exercise of the Call Option or delivery by the Company of a Qualified IPO Exercise Notice on or prior to the Closing by wire transfer to the Company of immediately available funds to the account specified in Section 1.5(b)(i) below or such other account specified by the Company, and upon confirmation of the receipt of the wire (or otherwise waived by the Company), the Company shall instruct the Transfer Agent to deliver the Option Shares directly to the account specified by the Holder on the Holder’s signature page attached hereto).

1.6 Adjustment. The Exercise Price and the number of Option Shares (or other property) purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

(i) Reclassification, Merger etc. If ListCo, by reclassification of securities, merger or otherwise, changes the Class A Common Stock (or any of the other securities as to which purchase rights under this Agreement then exist) into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Agreement shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Class A Common Stock (or other securities) that were subject to the purchase rights under this Agreement immediately prior to such reclassification, merger or other change and the Exercise Price therefor shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 1.6.

 

3

 

 

(ii) Split, Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If ListCo splits, subdivides or combines Class A Common Stock (or any other securities as to which purchase rights under this Agreement then exist) into a different number of securities of the same class, the number of Class A Common Stock subject to this Agreement shall be proportionately adjusted, and the Exercise Price for such securities shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a split or subdivision (provided that in no event shall the Exercise Price be less than the par value of such Class A Common Stock or other securities) and proportionately increased in the case of a combination, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 1.6.

 

1.7 Adjustments for Dividends in Stock or Other Securities or Property. If the holders of the Class A Common Stock (or any other securities as to which purchase rights under this Agreement then exist) shall have received, or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible stockholders, shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor, other or additional stock or other securities or property of ListCo (including cash) by way of dividend, then and in each case, this Agreement shall represent the right to acquire, in addition to the number of Class A Common Stock receivable upon exercise of the Call Option, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of such other or additional stock or other securities or property of ListCo (including cash) that such holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it been the holder of record of the Class A Common Stock (or other security receivable upon exercise of the Call Option) on the date thereof and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other additional stock available by it as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by the provisions of this Section 1.7. For the avoidance of doubt, any such other or additional stock or other securities or property of ListCo (including cash) to be delivered by the Company upon exercise of the Call Option shall be delivered in kind and shall not otherwise affect the Exercise Price of such Call Option or otherwise obligate the Company to deliver any additional Class A Common Stock (other than that actually received by way of dividend on such Class A Common Stock).

 

1.8 No Fractional Shares or Script. No fractional shares of Option Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional shares the number of shares of Hyzon Stock to be delivered shall be rounded up (if 0.5 or over) or (otherwise) rounded down to the nearest whole share.

3.1 Waiver. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the Holder hereby irrevocably waives any claim, counter-claim, cause and/or right of action, proceedings (including arbitral proceedings), damages, debts, liabilities and amounts payable (whether actual and/or contingent and whether present and/or future and whether at law or in equity, in each case of whatsoever nature) (in each case, a “Claim”) that arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, the Reorganization and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the adoption of the Constitution in effect as of the date hereof, the termination of the Third Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement dated March 28, 2014 by and among the Company and other parties thereto, the issuance of T Shares to shareholders of the Company, the transfer of Hyzon Stock to holders of the T Shares upon redemption thereof and other sales of Hyzon Stock to other security holders of the Company and its subsidiaries and the options to purchase Hyzon Stock granted to other security holders of the Company and the Parent as contemplated by the Reorganization) (the “Transaction”), regardless of whether any such Claim arises based on contract, tort, equity, under statute or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such Claims are collectively referred to in this Section 3.1 as the “Released Claims”), it may have, now or in the future against the Parent, Shanghai Horizon Fuel Cell, Jiangsu Horizon New Energy Technologies Co., Ltd., Horizon Fuel Cell Technology, the Company and their respective directors and officers (collectively, the “Released Parties”) and will not seek recourse against the Released Parties for any reason whatsoever for or with respect to any Released Claims; provided, however, that the foregoing waiver will not limit or prohibit the Purchaser from pursuing a Claim against the Company or any other person for damages for breach of this Agreement by the Company (or any successor entity). Nothing herein shall operate to relieve the Company of any common law liability to the Holder for Fraud in the event the Company is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have committed Fraud against the Holder. For purposes herein, “Fraud” shall mean an actual and intentional misrepresentation of fact with respect to the making of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.1, provided that such misrepresentation shall be deemed to exist only if the Company had actual knowledge at the time it made such representations and warranties that the representations and warranties made by it were actually false and untrue and such representations and warranties were then made with the express intention that the other party relies thereon to its detriment.

 

3.2 Restriction on Liens. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holder, create any Lien on or over any Option Shares, other than (i) statutory Liens arising by operation of law and (ii) Liens which do not materially interfere with the Company’s ability to deliver the Option Shares at Closing and which are released as of Closing.

3.7 No Rights as Stockholder. Holder shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of the Option Shares or any other securities of the ListCo that may at any time be issuable on the exercise of the Call Option for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon Holder, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the ListCo or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value, or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until the Call Option has been duly exercised and the Option Shares transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

3.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior contracts, agreements, discussions and understandings between them.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to the terms and conditions herein contained, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND SALE

 

1.1 Grant of Call Option. The Company hereby grants to the Holder, and the Holder shall have, an irrevocable right, but not an obligation, of the Holder to purchase and to cause the Company to sell to the Holder (such right, the “Call Option”) with respect to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock set forth on the Holder’s signature page attached hereto (the “Option Shares”), with par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) of Hyzon Motors Inc. (the “ListCo”) (subject to adjustment under Section 1.6 below), free and clear of all Liens. “Lien” means any claim, charge, mortgage, security, lien, option, equity, power of sale, hypothecation, retention of title, right of pre-emption, right of first refusal or security interest of any kind (other than this Agreement and transfer restrictions under applicable securities law).

 

1.2 Exercise of the Call Option.

 

(a) Subject to Section 1.2(b), the Holder may exercise the Call Option (in whole or in part), at its sole discretion at any time during any Exercise Window that occurs prior to the Call Option Expiry Date, by written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto indicating such exercise (the “Call Option Exercise Notice”) to the Company. “Exercise Window” means (x) the fifteen-day period immediately following the date of this Agreement, (y) the fifteen-day period commencing on each of January 1 and July 1 of every year and (z) during any other period specified by the board of the Company and notified by the Company to the Holder. “Call Option Expiry Date” means (i) the date falling 10 years after the date of this Agreement; or (ii) such other date as agreed in writing between the Buyer and Holder.

Upon the delivery by the Company of a Qualified IPO Exercise Notice, (i) the Call Option will be deemed to be automatically exercised in whole and (ii) the Holder will be deemed to have represented and warranted that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.2 of this Agreement remain true and accurate as of the date of the Qualified IPO Exercise Notice and the Closing Date.

1.6 Adjustment. The Exercise Price and the number of Option Shares (or other property) purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

 

(i) Reclassification, Merger etc. If ListCo, by reclassification of securities, merger or otherwise, changes the Class A Common Stock (or any of the other securities as to which purchase rights under this Agreement then exist) into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Agreement shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Class A Common Stock (or other securities) that were subject to the purchase rights under this Agreement immediately prior to such reclassification, merger or other change and the Exercise Price therefor shall be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 1.6.

 

3

 

 

(ii) Split, Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If ListCo splits, subdivides or combines Class A Common Stock (or any other securities as to which purchase rights under this Agreement then exist) into a different number of securities of the same class, the number of Class A Common Stock subject to this Agreement shall be proportionately adjusted, and the Exercise Price for such securities shall be proportionately decreased in the case of a split or subdivision (provided that in no event shall the Exercise Price be less than the par value of such Class A Common Stock or other securities) and proportionately increased in the case of a combination, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Section 1.6.

 

1.7 Adjustments for Dividends in Stock or Other Securities or Property. If the holders of the Class A Common Stock (or any other securities as to which purchase rights under this Agreement then exist) shall have received, or, on or after the record date fixed for the determination of eligible stockholders, shall have become entitled to receive, without payment therefor, other or additional stock or other securities or property of ListCo (including cash) by way of dividend, then and in each case, this Agreement shall represent the right to acquire, in addition to the number of Class A Common Stock receivable upon exercise of the Call Option, and without payment of any additional consideration therefor, the amount of such other or additional stock or other securities or property of ListCo (including cash) that such holder would hold on the date of such exercise had it been the holder of record of the Class A Common Stock (or other security receivable upon exercise of the Call Option) on the date thereof and had thereafter, during the period from the date hereof to and including the date of such exercise, retained such shares and/or all other additional stock available by it as aforesaid during such period, giving effect to all adjustments called for during such period by the provisions of this Section 1.7. For the avoidance of doubt, any such other or additional stock or other securities or property of ListCo (including cash) to be delivered by the Company upon exercise of the Call Option shall be delivered in kind and shall not otherwise affect the Exercise Price of such Call Option or otherwise obligate the Company to deliver any additional Class A Common Stock (other than that actually received by way of dividend on such Class A Common Stock).

 

1.8 No Fractional Shares or Script. No fractional shares of Option Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional shares the number of shares of Hyzon Stock to be delivered shall be rounded up (if 0.5 or over) or (otherwise) rounded down to the nearest whole share.
