The number of Forfeited Preference Shares forfeited by each record holder of Preference Shares as of the Settlement Date shall be calculated on a pro rata basis based upon (1) the total number of Preference Shares held by such holder and (2) the total outstanding number of Preference Shares; provided that in no case shall any such holder be required to forfeit, or have any liability to the Company, in excess of the number of Preference Shares actually held by such holder. The forfeiture of the Preference Shares will be automatic and will be executed by a notation made in the share register of the Company.
(5)If the TPRE Net COVID Loss is greater than the Sirius Net COVID Loss, then a number of Common Shares equal to (x) the dollar amount of such excess divided by (y) the VWAP measured over the thirty (30) Trading Day period prior to Final Adjustment Determination Date (the “Issued Common Shares”) will be promptly (and in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after the Final Adjustment Determination Date) issued to holders of Preference Shares. The actual number of Issued Common Shares issued to each record holder of Preference Shares as of the Settlement Date shall be calculated on a pro rata basis based upon (1) the total number of Preference Shares held by such holder and (2) the total outstanding number of Preference Shares.
Section 6.Conversion.
(a)Mandatory Conversion. On the Business Day immediately following the Final Adjustment Determination Date and, if applicable, the forfeiture of Forfeited Preference Shares pursuant to Section 5(b)(ix)(D) by the record holders thereof (such Business Day, the “Conversion Date”), each outstanding Preference Share shall automatically convert into one (1) Common Share, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 6(e) below (the “Conversion Ratio”), without any further action on the part of any holder (a “Mandatory Conversion Event”).

1006114350v15


(b)Procedures for Mandatory Conversion. Promptly, and in any event within three (3) Business Days after the Final Adjustment Determination Date, the Company shall send each holder of Preference Shares written notice of such event (the “Mandatory Conversion Notice”) providing instructions for the surrender to the Company of certificates for Preference Shares and the issuance of Common Shares into which the Preference Shares have been converted pursuant to Section 6(a).
(c)Rights Subsequent to Conversion. All Preference Shares converted to Common Shares as provided in this Section 6, regardless of whether certificate(s) and accompanying materials have been surrendered pursuant to Section 6(b), shall no longer be deemed outstanding as of the effective time of the applicable conversion and all rights with respect to such Preference Shares shall immediately cease and terminate as of such time, other than (i) the right of the holder to receive Common Shares and payment in lieu of any fraction of a Common Share in exchange therefor and (ii) the rights attaching to the Common Shares upon conversion of the Preference Shares.
(d)No Charge or Payment. The issuance of certificates for Common Shares upon conversion of Preference Shares pursuant to this Section 6 shall be made without payment of additional consideration by, or other charge to, the holder thereof.
(e)Adjustment to Number of Conversion Shares. In order to prevent dilution of the conversion rights granted under this Section 6, the Conversion Ratio and the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Preference Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 6(e).
(i)If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, subdivide (by any share split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares, then the Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted such that the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preference Shares shall be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time combines (by combination, reverse share split or otherwise) its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, then the Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted such that the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Preference Shares shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 6(e) shall be calculated in good faith based on the formula below by the Company and become effective at the close of business on the date the applicable event becomes effective.
CR1 = CR0 ×

CR0 = the Conversion Ratio in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Effective Date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;
CR1 = the Conversion Ratio in effect immediately after the open of business on such Effective Date;
OS0 = the number of the Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Effective Date (before giving effect to any such share split or share combination); and
OS1 = the number of the Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such share split or share combination.
If any share split or share combination of the type described in this Section 6(e) is declared or announced, but not so made, then the Conversion Ratio will be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to effect such share split or share combination, to the Conversion Ratio that would then be in effect had such share split or share combination not been declared or announced.
(ii)If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the Common Shares, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per Common Share exceeds the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Shares over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period (the “Valuation Period”) commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted such the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of each Preference Share shall be increased based on the following formula.

The adjustment to the Conversion Ratio under this Section 6(e)(ii) shall occur as of the close of business on the last day of the Valuation Period; provided that if the Conversion Date occurs during the Valuation Period, for the purposes of determining the Conversion Ratio, a reference to “10” in this Section 6(e)(ii) shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the first day of the Valuation Period to, and including, the Conversion Date. To the extent such tender or exchange offer is announced but not consummated (including as a result of being precluded from consummating such tender or exchange offer under applicable law), or any purchases or exchanges of Common Shares in such tender or exchange offer are rescinded, the Conversion Ratio will be readjusted to the Conversion Ratio that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the purchases or exchanges of Common Shares, if any, actually made, and not rescinded, in such tender or exchange offer.
(iii)In the event of any of the following events (A) a “person” or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, other than the Company or any of its subsidiaries, files a Schedule TO or any schedule, form or report under the Exchange Act disclosing that such person or group has become the direct or indirect “beneficial owner,” as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of Common Shares representing more than 50% of the voting power of the Common Shares or the Company otherwise becomes aware of such ownership; (B) the consummation of any share exchange, merger, consolidation or similar business combination transaction of the Company with or into another Person or (C) the sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger, consolidation or transfer of the Company’s voting stock), to any “person” or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (each, a “Fundamental Transaction”), in each case, as a result of which the Common Shares would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “Merger Event”), then, at and after the effective time of such Merger Event, the right to convert each Preference
930637.03-NYCSR05A - MSW
1006114350v15


Share shall be changed into a right to convert such Preference Share into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of Common Shares equal to the Conversion Ratio immediately prior to such Merger Event would have owned or been entitled to receive upon such Merger Event (such shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets, the “Alternate Consideration” with each “unit of Alternate Consideration” meaning the kind and amount of stock, other securities or other property or assets that a holder of one share of Common Stock is entitled to receive) upon such Merger Event; provided that if the holders of the Common Shares have a right of election as to the kind or amount of consideration receivable upon consummation of such Merger Event, then the unit of Alternate Consideration shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the kind and amount stock, other securities, other property or assets received in such Merger Event per Common Share by the holders of the Common Shares that affirmatively make such election. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the successor entity, if other than the Company, shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Certificate of Designation referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to such successor entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Certificate of Designation with the same effect as if such successor entity had been named as the Company herein. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new Certificate of Designation with the same terms and conditions modified to be consistent with the foregoing provisions and issue to the holders of the Preference Shares new preference shares consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing such holders’ right to convert such preference shares into the Alternate Consideration. The provisions of this Section 6(e)(iii) shall similarly apply to successive Fundamental Transactions.
(iv)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Certificate of Designation, whenever any provision of this Certificate of Designation requires the Company to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices or the VWAP over a span of multiple days, the Company shall make appropriate adjustments in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner to each to account for any event requiring an adjustment pursuant to this Section 6(e) that occurs at any time during the period when Company is required to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices or the VWAP over a span of multiple days.

As promptly as reasonably practicable following any adjustment of the Conversion Ratio permitted hereunder, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, the Company shall furnish to each holder of record of Preference Shares at the address specified for such holder in the books and records of the Company (or at such other address as may be provided to the Company in writing by such holder) a certificate of an executive officer setting forth in reasonable detail such adjustment and the facts upon which it is based and certifying to the accuracy of the calculation thereof.

Section 7.Voting Rights. Subject to any applicable voting cutback provisions in respect of the Preference Shares, each Preference Share shall have voting power equal to the number of Common Shares into which it is then convertible pursuant to Section 6 as of the record date of such vote or written consent or, if there is no specified record date, as of the date of such vote or written consent, and, except as otherwise provided herein or required by law, the Preference Shares and Common Shares shall vote together as a single class with respect to any and all matters presented to the shareholders of the Company for their action or

The Company will be responsible for making all calculations called for in respect of the Preference Shares, including, but not limited to, the determination of the Conversion Ratio. Any calculations made in good faith and without mathematical or manifest error will be final and binding on holders of the Preference Shares. At the request of any holder of Preference Shares, the Company shall provide the basis of any such calculation prepared in respect of the Preference Shares.
(h)Other Adjustments. The Company may, but shall not be required to, make such increases in the number of Conversion Shares, in addition to those required hereunder, as the Board of Directors considers to be advisable in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to any holders of Preference Shares or Common Shares resulting from any Dividend or distribution of stock or issuance of rights or warrants to purchase or subscribe for stock or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes or for any other reason.
(i)Severability. In the event any provision of this Certificate of Designation shall be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the validity, enforceability and legality of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
