surviving entity (or its parent), but shall be used for determining the total outstanding share capital of the surviving entity); and (iii) any sale of all, or substantially all, of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital.

6.4. Conversion

The holders of Preferred Shares shall have the following conversion rights (the “Conversion Rights”):

6.4.1. Optional Conversion. Each Preferred Share shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share into such number of fully paid shares of Ordinary Shares as is determined by dividing the Original Purchase Price by the conversion price applicable to such share, determined as hereinafter provided (the “Conversion Price”), in effect on the date that the certificate is surrendered for conversion. The initial Conversion Price of the Preferred Shares shall be the Original Purchase Price; and provided, however, that the Conversion Price for the Preferred Shares shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in this Article 6.4.

6.4.2. Automatic Conversion. Each Preferred Share shall automatically be converted into Ordinary Shares at the Conversion Price at the time in effect for such Preferred Share, on the consummation of any one of the following events:

i. upon the closing of an IPO, where the Company’s pre-money valuation is US$ 75,000,000 or more with net proceeds to the Company of US$ 25,000,000 or more (a “Qualified Public Offering”);

ii. in the event that holders of a majority of sixty percent (60%) of the then outstanding Preferred Shares, voting as a single class, consent to such conversion;

6.4.3. Mechanism of Conversion. Before any holder of Preferred Shares shall be entitled to convert the same into Ordinary Shares, the holder shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefore, duly-endorsed, at the office of the Company or of any transfer agent for the Preferred Shares, and shall give notice to the Company at its principal corporate office of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for the Ordinary Shares are to be issued. Upon conversion of only a portion of the number of shares covered by a certificate representing Preferred Shares surrendered for conversion, the Company shall issue and deliver, at the expense of the Company, a new certificate covering the number of Preferred Shares representing the unconverted portion of the certificate so surrendered. The Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Shares, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of Ordinary Shares to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid and a cash amount in respect of any fractional interest in a share of Ordinary Shares as provided in Article 6.4.4 below. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the Preferred Shares to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Ordinary Shares as of such date. If the conversion is in connection with an underwritten offering of securities pursuant to an IPO, the conversion may, at the option of any holder tendering Preferred Shares for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the person(s) entitled to receive the Ordinary Shares upon such conversion of the Preferred Shares shall not be deemed to have converted such Preferred Shares until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of securities.

6.4.4. Conversion Price Adjustments of Preferred Shares for Certain Dilutive Issuances.

The conversion price of the Preferred Shares shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

i. After the date upon which any Preferred Shares were first issued (the Original Issue Date) and until IPO, if the Company shall issue any Additional Shares (as defined below) without consideration or for consideration per share less than the applicable Conversion Price for the Preferred Shares in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Shares (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then the applicable Conversion Price of the Preferred Shares in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) determined in accordance with the following broad-based weighted average formula:

CP2 = CP1 * [(A + B) ÷ (A + C)]

For purposes of the foregoing formula, the following definitions shall apply:

CP2 shall mean the applicable conversion price in effect immediately after such issue of Additional Shares;

CP1 shall mean the applicable conversion price in effect immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares;

A” shall mean the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares on an issued but as converted basis, treating for this purpose as outstanding all Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of all issued Preferred Shares.

ii. In the case of the issuance of Additional Shares for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor.

iii. In the case of the deemed issuance (as defined in Article 6.4.4vii below) of Additional Shares, the consideration for the Additional Shares shall be deemed to be the aggregate consideration received by the Company on the issuance of the securities themselves, taken together with any additional consideration (if any) to be paid to the Company on the exercise or conversion of the securities.

iv. In the case of the issuance of the Additional Shares for consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair value thereof as determined by the Board of Directors in good-faith.

vi. “Additional Shares” shall mean any Ordinary Shares issued, or deemed issued (as defined below) by the Company, which are issued after the Original Issue Date, other than Excluded Securities (as defined Article 12.2 below).

For the purposes of the above, a “deemed issuance” shall mean the issuance of options or warrants to purchase or rights to subscribe to any Additional Shares, or securities by their terms convertible of exchangeable for Additional Shares, or options to purchase or rights to subscribe to such convertible or exchangeable securities, which may be exercised of converted into Additional Shares.

In the event the Company should at any time, or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, fix a record date for effecting a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Ordinary Shares or the determination of holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Ordinary Shares or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares of Ordinary Shares (hereinafter referred to as “Ordinary Shares Equivalents”) without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional shares of Ordinary Shares or the Ordinary Shares Equivalents (including the additional shares of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the conversion price of the Preferred Shares shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Ordinary Shares issuable on conversion of the Preferred Shares shall be adjusted in proportion to such increase of the aggregate of shares of Ordinary Shares outstanding and those issuable with respect to such Ordinary Shares Equivalents with the number of shares issuable with respect to Ordinary Shares Equivalents determined from time to time in the manner provided for deemed issuances in Article 6.4.4v.

6.4.6. If the number of shares of Ordinary Shares outstanding at any time after the Original Issue Date is decreased by a combination or reverse Shares-split of the outstanding shares of Ordinary Shares, then, following the record date of such combination,


UROGEN PHARMA LTD., P.C. 51-353762-1

AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

OCTOBER 28TH, 2015

PAGE 10 OF 40

 

the conversion price of the Preferred Shares shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Ordinary Shares issuable on conversion of each share of such Preferred Shares shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.

6.4.7. Other Distributions. In the event the Company shall declare a distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Company or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends), options, or rights not referred to in Article 6.4 then, in each such case for the purpose of this Article 6.4.7 the holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares of Ordinary Shares into which their Preferred Shares are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive such distribution.

6.4.8. Recapitalizations. If at any time, or from time to time, there shall be a recapitalization of the Ordinary Shares, provision shall be made so that the holders of the Preferred Shares shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Preferred Shares the number of shares or other securities or property of the Company or otherwise to which a holder of Ordinary Shares deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such recapitalization. In the event of any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification of the Shares of the Company (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or as a result of a Shares dividend or subdivision, split-up or combination of shares), or any consolidation or merger of the Company (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in any change in the Ordinary Shares or in which the holders of fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of the Company immediately prior to the transaction continue, by virtue of their holdings of securities of the Company, to hold such securities after the transaction), each Preferred Share shall, after such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, or merger, be convertible into the kind and number of shares or other securities or property of the Company, or of the corporation resulting from such consolidation or surviving such merger, to which the holder of the number of shares of Ordinary Shares deliverable (immediately prior to the time of such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, or merger) upon conversion of such Preferred Shares would have been entitled upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, or merger. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Article 6.4 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Shares after any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, or recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Article 6.4 (including adjustment of the conversion price then in effect and the number of shares purchasable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.

6.4.9. No Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustments.

No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of any share or shares of the Preferred Shares, and the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share.

6.4.12. Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Ordinary Shares, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Shares, such number of its shares of Ordinary Shares as shall, from time to time, be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Preferred Shares. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Ordinary Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then-outstanding Preferred Shares, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available under applicable law to the holder of the Preferred Shares, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Ordinary Shares to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the requisite Shareholders approval of any necessary amendment to the Articles.

Subject to Article 54, the Company may, from time to time, adopt a resolution by Ordinary Majority, whether or not all the shares then authorized have been issued, and whether or not all the shares theretofore issued have been called up for payment, increase its share capital by the creation of new shares. Any such increase shall be of such amount and shall be divided into shares of such nominal amounts, and such shares shall confer such rights and preferences, and shall be subject to such restrictions, as such resolution shall provide.

7.2. Except to the extent otherwise provided in such resolution, such new shares shall be subject to all the provisions applicable to the shares of the original capital of the same class and par value.

12.2. Pre-emptive Rights

12.2.1. Until the consummation of the Company’s IPO, should the Company, at any time or from time to time propose to issue and sell New Securities (as defined hereinafter), such New Securities (the “Offered New Securities”), shall first be offered (as hereinafter provided), on a pro-rata basis (on an as converted basis), to all the Eligible Holders. An Eligible Holder’s “Pro Rata Share” shall be the ratio of the number of Ordinary Shares of the Company then held by such Eligible Holder as of the date of the Rights Notice, as defined herein, to the sum of the total number of Ordinary Shares of the Company held by all of the Eligible Holders as of such date (all on an as converted basis). In the event that any Eligible Shareholder that has preemptive rights does not exercise this right, the exercising Eligible Shareholders will have an over-allotment right.

Notice, by giving written notice to the Company setting forth the quantity of New Securities to be purchased by the Eligible Holder (each, an “Acceptance Notice”); to remove any doubt it is clarified that failure by a Eligible Holder to respond within said ten (10) business day period shall constitute rejection of the Rights Notice and a waiver of the preemptive rights in full in connection with the offered New Securities

ii. The Company shall allot the Offered New Securities to the accepting Eligible Holders in accordance with the terms of the Rights Notice and their respective Acceptance Notices. If the Eligible Holders who elect to participate in the offer elect to purchase in the aggregate more than one hundred percent (100%) of the New Securities, such New Securities shall be allocated as follows: (i) First: each Eligible Holder shall be issued its Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities, but no more than the number of New Securities accepted by the Eligible Holder; and (ii) Second: the remaining New Securities unallocated in accordance with (i) above, shall be allocated among the Eligible Holders in accordance with their respective Pro-Rata Portions, but each Eligible Holder shall be allocated a maximum of the total number of New Securities accepted by each such Eligible Holder; and (iii) Third, any remaining unallocated New Securities shall be allocated in accordance with the mechanism detailed in (ii) above, in the same manner, until all the New Securities have been allocated.

iii. If the Eligible Holders fail to exercise in full their preemptive rights within the period specified in Sub-Article i, the Company shall have one hundred and twenty (120) days after the date of the Rights Notice to sell the unsold New Securities at a price and upon general terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Rights Notice. If the Company has not sold the New Securities within said one hundred and twenty (120) day period the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first offering such securities to the Eligible Holders in the manner provided above unless waived in writing.

12.2.2. By way of written notice to the Company, an Eligible Holder is entitled to assign the rights to purchase New Securities as detailed above to one or more Permitted Transferees of such Eligible Holder who may then respond to the Rights Notice as if the Rights Notice was addressed to such assignee(s) with regard to the assigned rights.

12.2.3. “New Securities” means any share capital of the Company, whether or not now authorized, and rights, options or warrants to purchase share capital, and securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into or exercisable for share capital, other than the Excluded Securities. For the purpose of these Articles, “Excluded Securities” shall mean any and all: (i) issuances of options, shares or other securities to employees, officers, directors, consultants, contractors or advisors of the Company under employee equity based plans approved by the Board; (ii) issuances upon stock splits, stock dividend, bonus shares, reclassification and similar recapitalization events; (iii) securities issued upon an IPO; (iv) securities issued by the Company pursuant to the acquisition whether by merger or purchase of all or, substantially all, of the assets or securities of another corporation; (v) securities issued to lending institutions or financing institutions in connection with financing arrangements or otherwise securities issued in connection with any credit line or other similar financing in an amount not exceeding five percent (5%) of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital on an as converted basis; (vi) securities issued in an issuance with respect to which Eligible Shareholders holding in the aggregate at least eighty

12.2.4. If the offer to Eligible Holders under this Article 12.2 may, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, constitute an offer to the public under applicable laws which is subject to prospectus requirements then such offer shall be limited to (i) Eligible Holders to whom the Company may offer such securities in reliance on an exemption from such prospectus requirement due to a category exemption other than the limited number of total offerees, and (ii) to such limited number of Eligible Holders which are the largest shareholders of the Company at the date of such offer to whom the offer may be made in reliance on an exemption from such prospectus requirement due to the limited number of total offerees.

13. PAYMENT IN INSTALLMENTS

If by the terms of allotment of any share, the whole or any part of the price thereof shall be payable in installments, every such installment shall, when due, be paid to the Company by the then registered holder(s) of the share or the person(s) entitled thereto.

14. CALLS ON SHARES

14.1. The Board of Directors may, from time to time, make such calls as it may think fit upon members in respect of any sum unpaid in respect of shares held by such members which is not, by the terms of allotment thereof or otherwise, payable at a fixed time, and each member 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 of Directors, 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 of Directors (and in the notice hereafter referred to), each payment in response to a call shall be deemed to constitute a pro-rata payment on account of all the shares in respect of which such call was made.

14.2. Notice of any call shall be given in writing to the member(s) in question 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 such payment shall be made, provided, however, that before the time for any such payment, the Board of Directors may, by notice in writing to such member(s), revoke such call in whole or in part, extend such time, or alter such person and/or place. In the case of a call payable in installments, only one notice thereof need be given.

14.3. 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 as if it were a call duly made by the Board of Directors and of which due notice had been given, and all the provisions herein contained with respect to such calls shall apply to each such amount.

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

14.5. Any amount unpaid in respect of a call shall bear such index linkage differentials and 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 of Directors may prescribe.

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

15. PREPAYMENT

With the approval of the Board of Directors, any member may pay to the Company any amount not yet payable in respect of his shares, and the Board of Directors may approve the payment of interest on any such amount until the same would be payable if it had not been paid in advance, at such rate and time(s) as may be approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may at any time cause the Company to repay all or any part of the money so advanced, without premium or penalty. Nothing in this Article 15 shall derogate from the right of the Board of Directors to make any call before or after receipt by the Company of any such advance.

16. FORFEITURE AND SURRENDER

16.1. If any member fails to pay any amount payable in respect of a call, or interest thereon as provided for herein, on or before the day fixed for payment of the same, the Company, by resolution of the Board of Directors, may at any time thereafter, so long as the said amount or interest remains unpaid, demand the forfeiture of all or any of the shares in respect of which said call had been made. Any expense incurred by the Company in attempting to collect any such amount or interest, including, inter alia, attorneys’ fees and litigation costs, 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.

16.2. Upon the adoption of a resolution of forfeiture, the Board of Directors shall cause notice thereof to be given to such member, 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 be not less than seven (7) days and which may be extended by the Board of Directors), such shares shall be ipso facto forfeited, provided, however, that, prior to the expiration of such period, the Board of Directors may nullify such resolution of forfeiture, but no such nullification shall estop the Board of Directors from adopting a further resolution of forfeiture in respect of the non-payment of the same amount.

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

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

16.5. Any share forfeited or surrendered as provided herein shall become the property of the Company, and the same, subject to provisions of these Articles, may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of as the Board of Directors thinks fit.

16.6. Any member whose shares have been forfeited or surrendered shall cease to be a member 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 14.5 above, and the Board of Directors, 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 of Directors, may accelerate the date(s) of payment of any or all amounts then owing by the member in question (but not yet due) in respect of all shares owned by such member, solely or jointly with another, and in respect of any other matter or transaction whatsoever.

16.7. The Board of Directors 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 thinks fit, but no such nullification shall estop the Board of Directors from re-exercising its powers of forfeiture pursuant to this Article 16.

17. LIEN

17.1. 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 member (without regard to any equitable or other claim of 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 to the Company arising from any amount payable by such member in respect of any unpaid or partly paid share, whether or not such debt, liability or engagement has matured. Such lien shall extend to all dividends from time to time declared or paid in respect of such share. 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 the lien (if any) existing on such shares immediately prior to such transfer.

17.2. The Board of Directors may cause the Company to sell a share subject to such a lien when the debt, liability or engagement giving rise to such lien has matured, in such manner as the Board of Directors deems fit, 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 intention to sell shall have been served on such member, his executors, administrators or assigns.

17.3. 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 member in respect of such share (whether or not the same have matured), and the remainder (if any) shall be paid to the member, his executors, administrators or assigns.

18. SALE AFTER FORFEITURE OR SURRENDER OR IN ENFORCEMENT OF LIEN

Upon any sale of a share after forfeiture or surrender or for the enforcement of a lien, the Board of Directors may appoint any person to execute an instrument of transfer of the share so sold and cause the purchaser’s name to be entered in the Register of Members in respect of such share. The purchaser shall be registered as the shareholder and shall not be bound to see to the regularity of the sale proceedings, or to the application of the proceeds of such sale, and after his name has been entered in the Register of Members in respect of such share, the validity of the sale shall not be impeached by any person, and the remedy of any person aggrieved by the sale shall be in damages only and against the Company exclusively.

Shares. At the written request of the Offeror, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist such Offeror with the delivery of the Offer by providing the Offeror with the names and address of the Offerees that are available to the Company. Any Offeree may accept such offer in respect of all, or any, of the Offered Shares by giving the Offeror notice to that effect within fourteen (14) business days after the date of the Offer; to remove any doubt it is hereby clarified that failure to accept the Offer within said fourteen (14) day period shall constitute rejection of the Offer and waiver of the right of first refusal.

20.3.2. If the acceptances, in the aggregate, are in respect of more than the number of Offered Shares, then the accepting Offerees shall acquire the Offered Shares, on the terms aforementioned, in proportion to their respective holdings of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company on an as converted to Ordinary Shares basis, provided that no Offerees shall be entitled to acquire under the provisions of this Article 20.3.2 more than the number of Offered Shares initially accepted by such Offeree, and upon the allocation to an Offeree of the full number of shares so accepted, the Offeree 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 accepting Offerees (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.

20.3.3. If the acceptances, in the aggregate, are in respect of less than the number of Offered Shares, the Offeror, at the expiration of the aforementioned fourteen (14) day period, shall be entitled, at the Offerror’s option to transfer to the accepting Offerees (but not to less than all of them) the numbers of shares as to which they respectively accepted the Offer (or such lesser numbers as they may then respectively agree to accept), and to transfer all or any part of the balance of the Offered Shares to the proposed transferee(s) identified in the Offer, or, in such event, the Offeror may, at the Offerror’s sole discretion, regard the Offer as entirely rejected, and thereupon transfer all (but not less than all) of the Offered Shares to such proposed transferee(s), provided, however, that in no event shall the Offeror transfer any of the Offered Shares to any transferee other than such accepting Offerees or such proposed transferee(s) specifically stated in the Offer, and provided, further that any of the Offered Shares not transferred within ninety (90) days after the expiration of said fourteen (14) day period shall again be subject to the provisions of this Article 20.3.

20.3.4. If the acceptances, in the aggregate, are in respect of all Offered Shares, the Offeror, at the expiration of the aforementioned fourteen (14) day period, shall be bound, upon actual receipt of the payment of the offer price, to transfer to the accepting Offerees (but not to less than all of them) the numbers of shares as to which they respectively are entitled. If, after becoming so bound, the Offeror defaults in transferring the Offered Shares, the Company may receive the purchase price therefor and the Offeror shall be deemed to have appointed any member of the Board as his agent to execute a transfer of the Offered Shares to the accepting Offerees, and, upon execution of such Transfer, the Company shall hold the purchase price therefor in trust for the Offeror.

20.3.5. For the purposes of any Offer under this Article 20.3 the respective holdings of any number of accepting Offerees shall mean their respective proportions of the aggregate issued and outstanding share capital determined as of the date of the Offer on an as converted basis.

59. INTEREST

No dividend shall carry interest as against the Company.

60. PAYMENT IN SPECIE

Upon the resolution of the Board of Directors, the Company:

Every such check or warrant shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent, or to such person as the person entitled thereto as aforesaid may direct, and payment of the check or warrant by the banker upon whom it is drawn shall be a good discharge to the Company. Every such check or warrant shall be sent at the risk of the person entitled to the money represented thereby.
