In the referred framework, this Plan is directed solely to the founders of the Company and is granted with the aim of (i) aligning the interests of the founders with the creation of additional value for the Company with a strike price at a valuation equal to or even higher than current market value, and (ii) allowing the founders to benefit from more liquid Options which are fully vested and transferable from their date of concession.

 

1.3

The participation of the Beneficiary in the present Plan is voluntary and will not entail that the Company assumes any sort of undertaking to offer the Beneficiary a participation in future incentive plans which may be agreed by the Company.

  a)

In this regard, the Beneficiaries hereby accept the application of such liquidation preference clause and the fact that their underlying Shares are ordinary shares and could therefore be affected by application of such liquidation preference, in the same (and in no worse) terms and conditions than it would affect the remaining shares of the Company not subject to such preference.

In addition to the foregoing, the Beneficiaries further accept that, during the term of this Plan, the conditions of the preferential liquidation clause may be modified and that such liquidation preference shall also be applicable to the underlying Shares in the same terms and conditions (and in no worse) that would be applicable to the remaining shares of the Company not subject to such preference.

 

6.6

7.3

Except (i) in the case of sale to companies controlled by the Beneficiaries or from the same group of companies, (ii) in the case the Company performs a business combination agreement with a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) within 6 months from today’s date and/or (iii) the Company’s shares are listed on a regulated market, the sale of company options will give the rest of the shareholders a preemptive right over the options to be sold under the same terms and conditions as those offered to the Beneficiaries.

9.

EMPLOYMENT MATTERS

 

9.1

9.3

In no event shall the potential gains deriving from this Plan be computable in the pensionable or regulating salary that serves as a base to determine the voluntary improvements of the protective action of Social Security from which the Beneficiary may benefit. As they do not have a salary nature, neither the participation in the plan nor the granting of the options will be taking into account for any calculation derived from the employment relationship or the compensation that could have been derived from it for any reason.
