Shareholder Agreement

SHAREHOLDER AGREEMENT

Subject to any adherence pursuant to Section 2.3, this shareholder agreement (this “Agreement”) is dated                      and made between:

SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A., a société anonyme incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg, with registered office at 42-44 Avenue De La Gare, L-1610 Luxembourg and registered with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies Register under number B 123 052 (the “Company”); and

THE HOLDER, whose name, Registration No., physical address and email address are set out at the end of this Agreement (the “Holder”).

The Company and the Holder are jointly referred to in this Agreement as the “Parties,” each a “Party.”

BACKGROUND

A. The Holder has acquired or will acquire Shares in the Company.

B. In this Agreement, the Parties wish to set forth certain of the Holder’s rights and obligations as a holder of Shares in the Company.

1. DEFINITIONS

“Fair Market Value” means the fair market value of one or several (as the case may be) Shares as agreed or determined pursuant to Section 3.

“Listing” means the listing of shares of the Company on an internationally recognized stock exchange or similar market place of recognized national standing (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, private secondary markets or similar).

“Majority Shareholders” means the shareholders of the Company who from time to time are parties to such shareholders’ agreement which, vis-a-vis other single shareholders’ agreements relating to Shares, covers the largest number of Shares (or, if several shareholders’ agreements cover the same number of Shares, the parties to all such agreements).

“Material Breach” means (i) a material breach of any of the Holder’s obligations under Sections 2.1, 2.2, and 7.1, and (ii) a breach of any other obligation under this Agreement if such breach is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company and/or a Majority Shareholder.

“Shares” means shares in the Company.

2. TRANSFER OF SECURITIES, ETC.

2.1 Drag-along right

2.1.1 In the event of a bona fide firm offer from an unaffiliated third party which, if consummated, would result in such third party owning at least fifty (50) per cent of all Shares then outstanding (regardless of the form of transaction proposed in such offer), and

SHA            2

provided that the Majority Shareholders accept such offer (or the Company certifies that the Majority Shareholders are required to accept the offer pursuant to an agreement among the Majority Shareholders) (a “Trade Sale”), the Holder hereby irrevocably agrees, on written request by the Company, to:

(a) transfer the same pro rata share of its Shares, on a fully diluted basis, as the transferring Majority Shareholders on substantially the same terms and conditions;

(b) if a shareholder approval is required, vote (in person, by proxy or by action by written consent, as applicable) all his/her/its Shares in favour of, and adopt, such Trade Sale or any measures required for its execution and consummation;

(c) execute and deliver all related documentation and take such other action in support of the Trade Sale as shall reasonably be requested by the Company and/or any Majority Shareholder;

(d) refrain from exercising any dissenters’ rights, rights of appraisal or similar rights under applicable law at any time with respect to such Trade Sale; and

(e) in the event that the sellers, in connection with such Trade Sale, appoint a shareholder representative with respect to matters affecting the shareholders under the applicable definitive transaction agreements pending and following consummation of such Trade Sale, consent to: (i) the appointment of such shareholder representative, (ii) the establishment of any applicable escrow, expense or similar account in connection with any indemnification, purchase price adjustment or similar obligations, and (iii) the payment of such shareholder’s pro rata portion (from the applicable escrow or expense account or otherwise) of any and all reasonable fees and expenses to such shareholder representative in connection with its services and duties in connection with such Trade Sale.

2.1.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holder shall not be required to comply with Section 2.1.1 in connection with any proposed Trade Sale unless:

(a) except as provided for in paragraph (b) below, the Holder shall not be liable for the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by any other person or entity in connection with such Trade Sale, other than the Company;

(b) the liability for indemnification, if any, of the Holder in such Trade Sale and for the inaccuracy of any representations and warranties made by the Company or its stockholders in connection with such Trade Sale, is several and not joint with any other person or entity (except to the extent that funds may be deposited in and paid out of an escrow established to cover breach of representations and warranties), and is pro rata in proportion to, and does not exceed, the amount of consideration paid to the Holder in connection with such Trade Sale; and

(c) liability shall be limited to the Holder’s applicable share of a negotiated aggregate indemnification amount that applies equally to all stockholders of the Company participating in such Trade Sale but that in no event exceeds the amount of consideration otherwise payable to the Holder in connection with such Trade Sale, except with respect to claims related to fraud or wilful misconduct by the Holder, the liability for which need not be limited as to the Holder;

SHA            3

provided that Holder agrees to be responsible for any additional reasonable costs incurred by the Company or a Majority Shareholder directly related to ensuring that such Trade Sale complies with the conditions set forth in this Section 2.1.2.

2.2 Tag-along right

In the event of a Trade Sale, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Holder is given the opportunity to transfer the same pro rata share of its Shares, on a fully diluted basis, and on substantially the same terms and conditions as the transferring Majority Shareholders.

2.3 Adherence by an acquirer of Shares

The Holder will not transfer any Shares without causing the transferee to enter into an adherence to this Agreement, which shall be made pursuant to this Section 2 and in substantially the form set out in Schedule 1 (Form of Adherence Notice), of which form section 1 shall be used by an acquirer being a private individual and section 2 shall be used by an acquirer being a legal entity.

3. FAIR MARKET VALUE

3.1 The Company shall, on its own initiative or when so required under this Agreement make, a first written proposal of, and seek to agree with the Holder (or his/her estate, heirs, beneficiaries or spouse (whether former or not), as the case may be) as to, the Fair Market Value of a Share. If no such agreement has been reached within thirty (30) calendar days from the first written proposal, the Holder (or his/her estate, heirs, beneficiaries or spouse (whether former or not), as the case may be) may within the following ten (10) calendar days request in writing that the Fair Market Value be determined by a reputable third party valuation firm of good standing appointed by the Company (a “Valuer”), in its sole discretion. The Fair Market Value shall be deemed finally determined as set out in the Company’s last written proposal for Fair Market Value if no written request is made by the Holder (or his/her estate, heirs, beneficiaries or spouse (whether former or not), as the case may be) in accordance with the foregoing.

3.2 If the Holder (or his/her estate, heirs, beneficiaries or spouse (whether former or not), as the case may be) has reasonably requested that the Fair Market Value shall be determined by a Valuer, the following shall apply:

(a) If a Valuer has issued a Company valuation within three (3) months prior to the receipt of the Notice (an “Existing Valuation”), such Existing Valuation shall be used to determine the Fair Market Value. Otherwise, the Company shall use reasonable efforts to procure that a Valuer is appointed within thirty (30) calendar days after the valuation request and that such Valuer delivers its valuation (a “New Valuation”) within thirty (30) calendar days from being appointed.

(b) The result of the Existing Valuation or the New Valuation, as applicable, shall be furnished to the Holder (or his/her estate, heirs, beneficiaries or spouse (whether former or not), as the case may be) reasonably promptly once available. The Fair Market Value shall be deemed finally determined when the Holder (or his/her estate, heirs, beneficiaries or spouse (whether former or not), as the case may be) receives such result and shall be final and binding on the parties in the contemplated transfer in absence of manifest and material error or deviation from generally accepted market practice for such valuations in Sweden.

SHA            4

(c) Any costs for a New Valuation shall be borne by the Company.

4. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IN CASE OF A MATERIAL BREACH ETC.

4.1 If the Holder commits a Material Breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement, or any agreement (including applicable terms and conditions and any other part of the agreement) governing his/her/its participation in the Company’s incentive programmes, and the Material Breach has not been rectified within fifteen (15) calendar days from the date when he/she/it received a written demand for rectification:

(a) the Holder shall upon written request by the Company pay to it liquidated damages in an aggregated amount corresponding to twenty-five (25) per cent of the aggregate Fair Market Value of all Shares held by him/her/it immediately prior to the breach,

and

(b) the Company shall be entitled to acquire the Holder’s Shares (or designate an Appointee to acquire the Holder’s Shares), in which case the purchase price for the Shares shall be the lower of:

(i) the purchase price paid by the Holder upon acquiring Shares; and

(ii) the Fair Market Value;

provided that the purchase price payable by the Company pursuant to this paragraph (b) shall first be set off against any claim by the Company against the Holder under paragraph (a) and/or other claims as described in Section 4.2.

4.2 The payment by the Holder of any liquidated damages or the Company’s exercise of its right to acquire the Holder’s Shares shall not affect the Company’s right to pursue other remedies that it may have against the Holder as a result of a breach, including claiming additional damages in excess of liquidated damages.

5. CONFIDENTIALITY

5.1 During the term of this Agreement, and for a period of five (5) years thereafter, the Holder may not, without the prior written approval from the Company, publish or otherwise disclose to any third party any information of a confidential nature concerning the Company, or the Spotify group, its business or its shareholders that (i) he/she has received as a result of entering into this Agreement (including the existence and contents of this Agreement) or otherwise being a shareholder of the Company, or (ii) is otherwise of a confidential nature (the “Confidential Information”).
