2.3

Adjustment Event

If an Adjustment Event occurs, the number and nominal value of Warrant Shares which the Warrantholder is entitled to subscribe and (as appropriate) the Subscription Price payable in respect of such subscription shall be adjusted in accordance with the provisions set out in Schedule 3. If requested by the Warrantholder in writing, the Company will use its commercially

reasonable efforts to cause its Auditors to certify the appropriate adjustment in accordance with Schedule 3 (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include paying any fee of the Auditors in connection with such certification).

3.

EXERCISING SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS

 

3.1

Timing

Subject to Clause 3.5, a Warrantholder may at any time either: (i) on or after Admission or, if Admission does not occur by 31 January 2021, on or after 1 February 2021; or (ii) upon the occurrence of an Event (provided that an exercise of Subscription Rights which is conditional upon the occurrence of an Event shall be deemed to take effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the relevant Event occurring), exercise its Subscription Rights in whole or part, by delivering to the Company a notice substantially in the form contained in the Certificate (“Notice of Subscription”) together with:

 

  (a)

the Certificate for the Warrants in respect of which Subscription Rights are being exercised; and

 

  (b)

a payment by telegraphic transfer to the Company’s Account (or such other mode of payment as the Company and the Warrantholder shall agree) of the aggregate Subscription Price in respect of the Subscription Rights which are being exercised.

 

3.2

Subject to the provisions of Clause 3.6 below, on any exercise of the Warrantholder’s Subscription Rights, in lieu of payment of the aggregate Subscription Price in the manner specified in Clause 3.1(b) above, but otherwise in accordance with the requirements of this Clause 3.2, the Warrantholder may elect to authorise the Company to sell such number of Warrant Shares as it indicates and deduct from such sale proceeds an amount equal to the aggregate Subscription Price payable for the Warrant Shares that have been sold (with the Company retaining such amounts), and with the net sale proceeds after such deduction being used to fund the aggregate Subscription Price payable for the balance of the Warrant Shares that the Warrantholder wishes to subscribe for. The provisions of this Clause 3.2 shall only apply after Admission and to the extent the relevant sale is in compliance with applicable securities laws.

 

3.3

For the avoidance of doubt, where part only of the Warrantholder’s total Warrants are exercised, the Company shall update the Register to record the remaining Warrants of the Warrantholder following the partial exercise of its Subscription Rights and shall issue to the Warrantholder an updated Certificate confirming the remaining Warrants in respect of which it is recorded in the Register as the holder on the terms set out in this Warrant Instrument.

 

3.4

Irrevocable Election

Delivery of the items specified in Clause 3.1 to the Company shall, other than with the Company’s written consent, be an irrevocable election by the Warrantholder to exercise the relevant Subscription Rights.

 

3.5

Lapse

All Subscription Rights not exercised shall lapse on the date falling ten years from the date of this Warrant Instrument (the “Termination Date”).

 

8


3.6

Restriction on Transfer of Common Shares

In the event that the Warrantholder elects to exercise its Subscription Rights during the Restricted Period, the Warrantholder hereby undertakes and agrees (i) not to Transfer any Common Shares it receives as a result of exercising any of the Warrants during the Restricted Period; and (ii) that it will only be able to elect to authorise the Company to sell Common Shares in accordance with Clause 3.2 if the Board approves such action and the relevant underwriters consent to such action. The Company hereby confirms that the Company’s other Common Shares in issue at such time (other than the new Common Shares issued pursuant to the Initial Public Offering) will, under the Company’s new Articles to be adopted in connection with the Initial Public Offering, also be subject to restrictions on Transfer during the Restricted Period (except where a proposed Transfer is approved by the Board due to exceptional circumstances with the prior written consent of the relevant underwriters).

 

4.

ISSUE OF SHARES UPON EXERCISE OF SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS

 

4.1

Allotment and Issue

Following receipt of a validly completed and signed and dated Notice of Subscription, the Company shall:

as soon as is reasonably practicable but in any event within three (3) Business Days after the Exercise Date, resolve to allot and issue to the person identified in the relevant Notice of Subscription (“Allottee(s)”) the Warrant Shares specified in the Notice of Subscription and to enter the Allottee(s)’ name in the register of members of the Company as the holder of the Warrant Shares issued to such Allottee(s); and

 

  (b)

within ten (10) Business Days of the allotment and issue of the Warrant Shares pursuant to this Clause 4 (“Warrant Share Delivery Date”), at the Company’s cost, send to the address stipulated in the Notice of Subscription share certificate(s) in respect of the Warrant Shares issued (if such Warrant Shares are held in certificated form) and (in the event of a partial exercise by the Warrantholder) a balancing Certificate in respect of those Warrants which remain unexercised.

Rights attaching to Warrant Shares

The Warrant Shares allotted pursuant to the exercise of the Subscription Rights shall:

rank pari passu with the fully paid Common Shares then in issue and have the rights set out in the Articles relating to the Common Shares; and

4.3

Rounding

If the number of Warrant Shares falling to be allocated to the Warrantholder (or at its direction) on an exercise of Subscription Rights would otherwise require a fraction of a Warrant Share to be allotted, the number of Warrant Shares to be so allotted will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Warrant Shares.

If at any time the Company files a registration statement to register the resale of any Common Shares pursuant to any of the Registration Rights Agreements, the Company shall, subject to applicable securities laws, include the Warrant Shares in such registration as if the Warrantholder had been party to the Registration Rights Agreements.

 

8.

MODIFICATION OF RIGHTS

This Warrant Instrument may be modified only with the prior sanction of a Special Resolution.

 

9.

LIQUIDATION

 

9.1

Liquidation and Dissolutions

If an order is made or an effective resolution is passed for the winding-up or dissolution of the Company or if any other dissolution of the Company by operation of law is to be effected then the provisions of Clause 9.2 or 9.3 shall apply.

 

9.2

Sanctioned Agreement

If the winding-up or dissolution is for the purpose of a reorganisation or amalgamation pursuant to a scheme of arrangement sanctioned by a special resolution of the Company, the terms of the scheme of arrangement will be binding on the Warrantholder.

 

13


9.3

Non Sanctioned Agreement

If Clause 9.2 does not apply, the Company shall immediately notify the Warrantholder, in writing, that such an order has been made or resolution has been passed or other dissolution is to be effected. The Warrantholder shall be entitled at any time within three months after the date such notice is given to elect by notice in writing to the Company to be treated as if they had, immediately before the date of the making of the order or passing of the resolution or other dissolution, exercised the Subscription Rights and they shall be entitled to receive out of the assets which would otherwise be available in the liquidation to the holders of Common Shares, such a sum, if any, as they would have received had they been the holders of and paid for the Warrant Shares to which they would have become entitled by virtue of such exercise, after deducting from such sum the amount which would have been payable by them in respect of the Warrant Shares if they had exercised the Subscription Rights. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall have the effect of requiring the Warrantholder to make any actual payment to the Company. If no such notice is given by the Warrantholder within the three month period specified above, the Subscription Rights shall lapse without claim if an order is made or an effective resolution is passed for the winding-up or the dissolution of the Company.

1.3

The Company may treat the registered Warrantholder as the absolute owner of a Warrant and accordingly shall not, except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by law, be bound to recognise any equitable or other claim to or interest in a Warrant on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice of such a claim.

 

1.4

The Warrantholder will be recognised by the Company as entitled to its Warrants free from any equity, set-off or cross-claim on the part of the Company against the original or any intermediate holder of the Warrants.

The Warrants may only be transferable in whole or in part by the Warrantholder to any other person or entity permitted in accordance with Clause 6.5 of the Warrant Instrument.

2.3

The instrument of transfer of a Warrant shall be executed by or on behalf of the transferor but need not be executed by or on behalf of the transferee. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of the Warrant until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register in respect of the Warrant being transferred.

 

2.4

No fee shall be charged for any registration of a transfer of a Warrant or for the registration of any other documents which in the opinion of the Directors require registration.

SCHEDULE 3

ADJUSTMENTS TO WARRANT SHARES AND SUBSCRIPTION PRICE

 

1.

If there is an Adjustment Event whilst any of the Warrants are outstanding, the number and nominal value of Warrant Shares to be, or capable of being, subscribed on any subsequent exercise of the Subscription Rights and the Subscription Price will be adjusted in such manner as Board determines (acting in good faith). If requested by the Warrantholder in writing within 7 Business Days of such determination by the Company, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its (i) Auditors or (ii) if the Auditors are unwilling (or unable) to so do, such other reputable, independent and internationally recognised firm of accountants (determined in accordance with clause 2.3) (acting on the joint instructions of the WarranthoIder and the Company, as experts and not as arbitrators) to certify that, after such adjustment:

 

  (a)

the total number of Warrant Shares to be, or capable of being, subscribed on any subsequent exercise of the Subscription Rights conferred by the Warrants:

 

  (i)

will carry as nearly as possible (and in any event not less than) the same proportion (expressed as a percentage of the total number of votes exercisable in respect of all the Equity Shares) of the votes available to be cast at a general meeting of the Company; and

 

  (ii)

will carry the same entitlement (expressed as a percentage of the total entitlement conferred by all the Equity Shares) to participate in the profits and assets of the Company;

as would the total number of Warrant Shares which could have been subscribed pursuant to the Subscription Rights conferred by the Warrants had there been no such adjustment and no such event giving rise to such adjustment; and

 

  (b)

the aggregate Subscription Price payable in order to subscribe for all the Warrant Shares will be as nearly as possible the same as it was prior to such adjustment.

 

2.

In calculating the aggregate entitlement to additional Subscription Rights under paragraph 1 above, any entitlement to a fraction of a Warrant Share shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Warrant Share.

 

3.

The Company will send the Warrantholder written notice of:

 

  (a)

any Adjustment Event as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant resolution of the Board giving effect to or sanctioning the same;

 

  (b)

any determination of the Board made in accordance with paragraph 1 of this Schedule 3 as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant resolution of the Board giving effect to or sanctioning the same; and

 

  (c)

any adjustments to the Subscription Rights together with a replacement Warrant Certificate evidencing the Warrantholder’s adjusted Subscription Rights.
