1.1           The Shares; Purchase Price; Market Disruption Adjustment.

(a)            Each Seller agrees to sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from each Seller, such number of shares of common stock (collectively, the “Shares”) of Playtika Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), as set forth opposite each Seller’s name on Exhibit A, at the purchase price of U.S. $7.93 per share, calculated as 0.7 times the average daily closing price (the “Official Closing Price”) of shares of common stock of the Company, as reported by the NASDAQ Global Select Market (the “Exchange”) (ticker symbol: PLTK) over the period of twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Agreement Date (the “Price Determination Period”), and for the aggregate purchase price of U.S. $624,967,312.58, calculated on the basis of the purchase price per share so determined times the aggregate number of the Shares (the “Purchase Price”). The parties intend to carry out the purchase and sale transaction of the Shares (the “Transaction”) as an “offshore transaction” within the meaning of Rule 902(h) of Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), which has been negotiated outside the U.S. and is to be consummated outside the U.S., in reliance of the representations, warranties, and covenants made by the parties in this Agreement.

(b)           For purposes of this Agreement:

(i)       “Business Day” means a day on which banks in Hong Kong are generally open for banking business to the public and which is not a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday in Hong Kong; and

(ii)       “Trading Day” means any day on which the Exchange is open for trading.

(c)            If, because of a market disruption event or otherwise, the Official Closing Price is not available for any Trading Day (such Trading Day, a “Disrupted Day”) during the Price Determination Period, the Official Closing Price for such Trading Day shall be the Official Closing Price for the Trading Day immediately preceding the Disrupted Day on which the Official Closing Price is available; provided that, if the Official Closing Price shall be unavailable for five (5) consecutive Trading Days, the Sellers and the Purchaser shall determine the applicable Purchase Price of the Shares through good faith negotiation.

 

 

 

1.2           Payment of Deposit; Due Diligence.

(a)            Within twenty-one (21) days of the Agreement Date, the Purchaser shall deposit an amount of cash in U.S. dollars equal to 10% of the Purchase Price, which shall equal U.S. $62,496,731.26 (the “Deposit”), with David Lo & Partners, a solicitors firm located at Suite 402, Nan Fung Tower, 88 Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong (the “Escrow Agent”) (the date of making the Deposit, the “Deposit Date”) pursuant to the terms of an Escrow Agreement, in a form reasonable acceptable to the Purchaser, the Sellers and the Escrow Agent, to be entered into on or prior to the Deposit Date (the “Escrow Agreement”).

(b)           The Purchaser shall have the right to conduct a due diligence investigation of the Company and the Shares (the “Due Diligence”), including, but not limited to, an investigation of the financial condition, results of operations, prospects, and disclosure controls and procedures of the Company based on the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, during the period commencing from the Deposit Date and ending on the date that is forty-five (45) days after the Deposit Date (the “Due Diligence Period”). The consummation of the Transaction is subject to the Purchaser’s satisfaction in its sole discretion with the results of the Due Diligence.

(c)            In the event that the Purchaser determines that it is satisfied with the results of the Due Diligence, it shall notify each of the Sellers and the Escrow Agent in writing no later than the last day of the Due Diligence Period (such notice being a “Due Diligence Confirmation”).

(d)            (i) Upon the Purchaser’s delivery of the Due Diligence Confirmation, the Deposit shall immediately become non-refundable and shall be applied by the Sellers to offset the Purchase Price; and (ii) within three (3) Business Days upon receiving the Due Diligence Confirmation, the Escrow Agent shall transfer the Deposit to the Sellers by wire transfer to the relevant Seller’s bank account designated by such Seller.

(e)            If (i) none of the Sellers and the Escrow Agent receives the Due Diligence Confirmation within the Due Diligence Period, or (ii) the Purchaser notifies each of the Sellers and the Escrow Agent in writing during the Due Diligence Period that it is not satisfied with the results of the Due Diligence, this Agreement shall be automatically terminated and the Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to the Purchaser within three (3) Business Days after the earlier of the expiration of the Due Diligence Period or its receipt of the Purchaser’s notice under this Section 1.2(e).

1.3           Payment of Balance; Closing.

(a)            After the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and if the Purchaser elects in its sole discretion to proceed to consummate the Transaction, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”) shall be held on a day on or before July 31, 2023. On the date of the Closing, the Purchaser shall pay the Sellers the remaining 90% of the Purchase Price of U.S. $562,470,581.32 (the “Balance Payment”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Hong Kong bank account or bank accounts designated in writing to the Purchaser. On the same Business Day that the Balance Payment is received by the Sellers, the Sellers shall deliver an irrevocable instruction (the “Broker Instruction”) to the Sellers’ securities broker (the “Broker”) in a form satisfactory to the Broker to effect the transfer of the beneficial ownership of the Shares together with all associated rights and benefits, to such securities account designated in writing by the Purchaser and/or its nominee to enable the Purchaser and/or its nominee to become the sole beneficial owner of the Shares within the settlement cycle standard or customary for transaction in securities like the Shares; provided that (i) any nominee designated by the Purchaser shall be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Purchaser; and (ii) the Purchaser shall notify the Sellers of its designation of the nominee, if any, no later than two (2) Business Days before the date of the Closing. The Sellers shall deliver a copy of the Broker Instruction for Purchaser’s record immediately after the same has been transmitted to the Broker. If the Closing does not occur by July 31, 2023, as a result of the Purchaser’s written request to the Sellers to delay the Closing, the Closing shall occur no later than August 31, 2023 (the “Long Stop Date”), and the Purchaser shall pay the Sellers interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum on the Balance Payment for each day of the period starting from and including July 31, 2023, and ending on and excluding the date of the Closing (the “Closing Extension Period”). If the Closing does not occur by July 31, 2023 for reasons attributable to the Sellers, the Purchaser shall not be required to pay interest on the Balance Payment to the Sellers for the Closing Extension Period.

(b)           (i) If, during the period from but excluding the Agreement Date to and including the date of the Closing, the Sellers receive any payment of dividends with respect to the Shares, the Sellers shall apply all such dividend payments to the Balance Payment and reduce the same by equal amount; and (ii) if the Sellers receive any payment of dividends with respect to the Shares after the Closing, the Sellers agree to hold all such dividend payments in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser and transfer all such amounts to the Purchaser at the direction of the Purchaser.

(c)            If the Closing does not occur, or if the Purchaser fails to pay the Sellers the Balance Payment in full on or before the Long Stop Date, the Sellers shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, upon which the Sellers shall keep the amount of the Deposit.

(d)           Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that the Sellers failed to deliver the beneficial ownership of the Shares to the Purchaser in accordance with the specific terms of this Agreement. Accordingly, the parties agree that the Purchaser shall be entitled, without limitation, (i) to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement, without any bond or other security being required, and (ii) to cause the Sellers to consummate the Closing by enforcing specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the Purchaser is entitled at law or in equity.

(e)            In lieu of the remedies or reliefs set forth in Section 1.3(d), the Purchaser has the right to seek damages against the Sellers on a joint and several liability basis for their failure to deliver the beneficial ownership of the Shares to the Purchaser in accordance with the specific terms of this Agreement and the limit on the aggregate liability of indemnification set forth in Section 4.1 shall not apply; provided that the Sellers shall have delivered the Broker Instruction within ten (10) Business Days of the date of the Closing, after receiving the Balance Payment, and shall cooperate fully with the Purchaser on all necessary procedures and deliverables required of the Sellers in connection with transferring beneficial ownership of the Shares to the Purchaser; provided further that in no event shall the Sellers be liable to the Purchaser for any indirect damages, arising out of, relating to, or in connection with, any failure by the Sellers to deliver the beneficial ownership of the Shares to the Purchaser in accordance with the specific terms of this Agreement, regardless of (i) whether such damages were foreseeable, (ii) whether or not the Sellers were advised of the possibility of such damages, or (iii) the legal or equitable theory (contract, tort, or otherwise) upon which the claim is based; and provided further that the Sellers shall not be held liable under this Section 1.3(e) for any such failure caused by factors outside the Sellers’ control, including but not limited to any objection from, or lack of cooperation of, the Company, but under such circumstances the Sellers shall cooperate in good faith with the Purchaser and make reasonable best efforts to effectuate the intent of this Agreement.
