WHEREAS
 
(A)
The Company was incorporated on 20 December 2004 and its shares are admitted to trading on AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange plc (AIM) and the Euronext Growth Market, a market operated by Euronext Dublin (Euronext).
 
(B)
The Company has entered into a restructuring support agreement (the RSA) and a plan funding agreement (the Plan Funding Agreement) pursuant to which, among others, it proposes to acquire the entire share capital of Aegerion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Aegerion).
 
(C)
The Company proposes to effect a scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act pursuant to which the holders of Ordinary Shares (the “Company Shareholders”) and the holders of options or warrants over Ordinary Shares (the Company Options) (and the holders of the Company Options, the Company Optionholders) will exchange the Ordinary Shares held by such Company Shareholders (and the Company Options held by such Company Optionholders) for new ordinary shares (or new options or warrants over such ordinary shares) issued by a newly incorporated company (New Amryt TopCo), together with one (1) CVR security for each Company Share (or Company Option), whereupon the Company shall procure that the rights and obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be assumed by New Amryt TopCo (such scheme of arrangement, the “Scheme”).
 
(D)
In accordance with the RSA and subject to the terms and conditions set out in this Agreement, the Company proposes to raise $60 million (the Capital Raise Amount) by way of an offer of Ordinary Shares to Investors and Creditors at the Placing Price (the Capital Raise).
 
(E)
Pursuant to the terms of the Capital Raise:
 
(i)
the Creditor Placing Shares will be offered by the Company to the Creditors for an aggregate subscription price of $42 million at the Placing Price, and each Creditor will have the right, but not the obligation, to subscribe, for its pro rata share of the Creditor Placing Shares. To the extent that any Creditor Placing Shares remain unsubscribed, first, each Investor as determined by the Company may elect to subscribe for any unsubscribed Creditor Placing Shares and thereafter, to the extent that any Creditor Placing Shares remain unsubscribed, each Creditor who has previously subscribed for the Creditor Placing Shares will have the right, but not the obligation, to subscribe, for its pro rata share of the remaining Creditor Placing Shares (the “Creditor Placing”). To the extent that a subscription for Creditor Placing Shares by a Creditor is, or is deemed to be, an offer to purchase such Creditor Placing Shares and not an acceptance of an offer by the Company to purchase such Creditor Placing Shares, the Company agrees (1) to not unreasonably reject such offer/subscription and, in any event, (2) to treat each Creditor that offers to purchase Creditor Placing Shares, and each offer/subscription therefor, equally in all material respects; and
 
(ii)
the Investor Placing Shares will be offered by the Company to the Investors for an aggregate subscription price of $18 million at the Placing Price (the “Investor Placing”).
 
(F)
Each Back Stop Party will subscribe for, and the Company will allot and issue to each Back Stop Party, any Remaining Shares, if:
 
(i)
the Creditor Placing has not been fully subscribed (as described in Recital (E)(i)); and
 
(ii)
the Investor Placing has not been fully subscribed (as described in Recital (E)(ii)),
 
on such terms, in such proportions, and in such manner, as prescribed in this Agreement.
 

(G)
An application will be made by the Company for all of the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and Euronext.
