Where any such VAT has been paid or the liability to pay VAT has been discharged by the representative member of any VAT Group, each Group Company that is a member of such VAT Group shall pay or reimburse to the representative member an amount equal to such VAT that is chargeable on supplies made by such Group Company. Where a Group Company that is a member of a VAT Group becomes liable to pay or discharge any VAT referable to supplies made by another member of such VAT Group, the representative member of such VAT Group shall be treated for the purposes of Clause 8.1, as the person having the primary liability to pay such VAT.

 

8.5The Investors and the Company shall cooperate, and procure that its respective Affiliates cooperate, to determine (i) whether any Group Company is or may become subject to any Pillar Two Taxes; and (ii) whether any Investor or its Affiliate is or may be treated as a Pillar Two Responsible Investor for any Reporting Fiscal Year, including by way of providing notifications of whether an Investor that intends or is required to consolidate any Group Company for the purposes of the Pillar Two Rules is or may be brought within the scope of the Pillar Two Rules. If there is a Group Company Pillar Two Tax Cost for a Reporting Fiscal Year (including for the avoidance of doubt any Reporting Fiscal Year falling wholly or partly prior to the date of this Agreement) in respect of which that Investor is the Pillar Two Responsible Investor, then that Investor covenants to pay (on an after-Tax basis) to the Company an amount equal to that Group Company Pillar Two Tax Cost, such payment to be made on or before the later of: (i) the date five Business Days after demand therefor is made by the Company; and (ii) such date or dates as correspond to the latest date or dates on which the relevant Group Companies can make payment of the Tax which fairly represent(s) the relevant Group Company Pillar Two Tax Cost without incurring a liability to late payment interest or penalties. The exclusions in Clause 8.2 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the covenant to pay in this Clause 8.5.

 

8.6The Investors and the Company shall cooperate reasonably and in good faith to ensure that any payments made under Clause 8 are made in a Tax efficient manner, provided for the avoidance of doubt that this shall not oblige the Company to issue any shares or securities to any Investor.

 

8.7Where this Agreement has been terminated by reason of the Lead Investor ceasing to hold any Securities or ceasing to be the beneficial owner of any Securities, in each case pursuant to the exercise of the Call Option (as defined in the Option Agreement), neither the Company nor any Investor shall be liable to make any payment under Clause 8 unless written notice of a claim for payment under Clause 8 has been received by the person liable to make payment no later than the date falling 84 months after the termination of this Agreement.

 

9.FUNDING

 

9.1The Investors intend that the Group shall be self-financing, but if any Group Company requires additional funding for any reason, including to fund its operating expenses or capital expenditure, or to fund an acquisition (including of shares in any body corporate) ("Additional Funding"), the provisions of this Clause 9 shall apply.

 

24

 

 

9.2If the Board determines that any Group Company requires Additional Funding and informs the Investors that Additional Funding is required, then the Lead Investor may: (i) assist the relevant Group Company with arranging such Additional Funding from such third-party equity or debt providers as the Lead Investor considers suitable; provided that, prior to the Call Option Lapse Date, no Group Company may proceed with obtaining any Debt Finance from any such third-party without obtaining an Investor Direction from the WBD Investor; or (ii) offer to provide such Additional Funding to the relevant Group Company in accordance with Clause 9.3 or Clause 9.4 (as applicable).

 

9.3Prior to the Call Option Lapse Date, the Lead Investor shall:

 

(a)subject to availability of funds, prevailing market conditions and the Group's compliance with applicable requirements, provide such Additional Funding to the Anghami Group itself (if either: (i) the Lead Investor has offered to provide such Additional Funding to the Anghami Group; or (ii) the Anghami Group has sought such Additional Funding from third-party equity or debt providers and the Additional Funding is not available from such third-party equity or debt providers as the Lead Investor considers suitable or any Debt Finance has not been approved by Investor Direction from the WBD Investor, where applicable); and

 

(b)do so by providing such Additional Funding to the Company (which shall, in turn, provide that Additional Funding to the Anghami Group) in the same form and on the same economic terms as are agreed between the Company and Anghami in relation to the subsequent funding from the Company to the Anghami Group;

 

provided that, prior to the Call Option Lapse Date, the Lead Investor shall only provide funding to the Company by way of subscription for Shares in the Company in accordance with Clause 10 (New Issues of Securities).

 

9.4After the Call Option Lapse Date, the Lead Investor may agree with any Group Company to provide Debt Finance to the Company, with the principal and interest of such debt to be repaid in cash by the relevant Group Company, provided that, for so long as the WBD Investor holds 7.5% or more, directly or indirectly, of the Shares of Anghami: (i) the interest rate payable does not exceed 12.5 per cent. per annum; and (ii) the relevant Group Company has been unable to arrange equivalent debt funding from a third party provider with an interest rate payable in cash of less than 12.5 per cent. per annum.

 

9.5The provisions of Clause 10 shall apply to the extent any Additional Funding will involve or be provided in exchange for an issue of Securities.

 

10.NEW ISSUES OF SECURITIES

 

10.1Subject to Clause 10.2 and Clause 10.8, on any issue of Securities other than an Excluded Issue (the “New Securities”):

 

(a)each Security Holder is entitled, but not obliged, to subscribe for its Pro-Rata Portion of Securities comprising the New Issue on the same terms and in the same proportions as any other persons participating in the New Issue; and

 

25

 

 

(b)prior to the completion of such New Issue, the issuer(s) of Securities in the proposed New Issue shall notify each relevant Security Holder in writing of its entitlement to its Pro-Rata Portion of Securities comprising the New Securities pursuant to Clause 10.1(a):

 

(i)specifying the number and class of such Securities to which it is entitled (which must be Shares in the Company prior to the Call Option Lapse Date and Securities in the Company thereafter);

 

(ii)confirming the purpose for which the proceeds of the New Issue are required (which must be one of the purposes specified in Clauses 10.1(b)(iii)(A) or (B));

 

(iii)specifying the price per class of Security to be issued by the Company which must not be lower than the look through value of: (A) the acquired ordinary shares of Anghami if the purpose for which the proceeds of the New Issue are required is to acquire additional ordinary shares of Anghami; or (B) the Securities to be issued by Anghami as at the date of the New Issue if the purpose for which the proceeds of the New Issue are required is to meet Anghami's funding needs (the "Issue Floor"); and

 

(iv)specifying the time (being not less than 15 Business Days, unless the circumstances specified in Clause 10.2 apply) within which the offer, if not accepted by notice in writing, will be deemed to be declined,

 

(the "Pre-Emption Notice").

 

10.2If so directed by the Lead Investor in circumstances where the Lead Investor reasonably believes that the Group requires funding on an urgent basis, the issuer(s) in the proposed New Issue may deliver a Pre-Emption Notice to each relevant Security Holder (which shall include the information set out in Clause 10.1, provided that the time within which the offer to participate in the proposed New Issue at the same time as the Lead Investor, if not accepted by notice in writing, will be deemed to be declined shall be not less than 5 Business Days). To the extent that any Security Holder actually declines or is deemed to decline such Pre-Emption Notice, the issuer(s) in such proposed New Issue shall issue the New Securities of such Security Holder to the Lead Investor (an “Accelerated Issue”) and, subject to Clause 10.3, any rights of pre-emption for other relevant Security Holders in respect of the Accelerated Issue (the “Affected Security Holders”) shall be automatically waived.

 

10.3Following an Accelerated Issue:

 

(a)each Affected Security Holder is entitled, but not obliged, to purchase from the Lead Investor (without regard to any pre-emption rights or rights of first offer, including as set out in Schedule 4 (Right of First Offer)) such number of each class of Securities comprising the New Securities (at the same price, on the same terms and in the same proportion of each class of New Securities as issued to the Lead Investor in the Accelerated Issue) which would result in the Affected Security Holder holding the Pro-Rata Portion it held immediately prior to the Accelerated Issue (the “New Issue Option”);

 

(b)within 20 Business Days following such Accelerated Issue, the issuer(s) in the Accelerated Issue shall notify each Affected Security Holder in writing of its entitlement pursuant to Clause 10.3(a), specifying the number and class of Securities to which it is entitled to purchase from the Lead Investor, the price per class of Security, and the time (being not less than 10 Business Days) within which the offer, if not accepted by notice in writing will be deemed to be declined; and

 

26

 

  

(c)if an Affected Security Holder elects to exercise a New Issue Option:

 

(i)the Affected Security Holder shall pay to the Lead Investor the aggregate price for the Securities subject to the New Issue Option and the Lead Investor shall receive such amount to an account nominated by the Lead Investor; and

 

(ii)the Lead Investor shall deliver to the relevant Affected Security Holder:

 

(1)a duly executed share transfer form in respect of the Securities subject to the New Issue Option; and

 

(2)a certified copy of the updated register of members reflecting the transfer of the Securities subject to the New Issue Option; and

 

(3)written resolutions of the directors of the Group Company or minutes of a meeting of the board of directors of the Group Company approving:

 

(A)the transfer of the Securities subject to the New Issue Option; and

 

(B)instructions to the Group Company’s registered office to update the Group Company’s register of members to reflect the transfer of the Securities subject to the New Issue Option.

 

10.4Any Security Holder exercising its rights to subscribe for or acquire New Securities pursuant to this Clause 10 (New Issues of Securities) shall:

 

(a)subject to the satisfaction of the Lead Investor’s obligations under this Clause 10, be obliged to subscribe for or acquire, and fund such subscription or acquisition, in accordance with the timetable set out in Clauses 10.1 to 10.3 above;

 

(b)subject to the satisfaction of the Security Holder’s obligations under this Clause 10, acquire or be issued with the relevant Securities fully paid and free and clear of all Encumbrances; and

 

(c)as a condition to any subscription or acquisition (other than with Investor Consent from the Lead Investor) be required to subscribe for or acquire the same proportion of its entitlement to each class of New Securities comprising the New Issue.

 

10.5To the extent that any Security Holder declines, or is deemed to decline, an offer for all or part of his Pro-Rata Portion of New Securities in accordance with Clause 10.1(a), the board of directors of each Group Company proposing to issue such New Securities shall deal with such declined New Securities as determined by the Board, subject to compliance with Clause 12 (Deed of Adherence) and provided that no New Securities may be issued to any Restricted Transferee or WBD Competitor.

 

10.6If the WBD Investor does not exercise its rights to subscribe for or acquire New Securities pursuant to Clauses 10.1 to 10.4 (New Issues of Securities) at any time prior to the Call Option Lapse Date, it may notify the Company within 10 Business Days of the date of the New Issue that it believes the subscription or acquisition price per class of Security is lower than the Issue Floor following which: (i) the issuer(s) of Securities shall promptly provide the calculations and supporting materials used in determining the price per class of Security; (ii) the Lead Investor and the WBD Investor shall seek to resolve the dispute amicably; and (iii) if not resolved within 10 Business Days, the Company shall refer the matter to the Independent Expert for determination and the provisions of Clauses 10.7 and 10.8 shall apply. In carrying out the determination: (A) the Independent Expert shall act as expert and not as arbitrator; and (B) the determination of the Independent Expert shall, except in the case of manifest error, be final and binding on the Company and the Security Holders.

 

27

 

 

10.7If the Independent Expert determines that the relevant subscription or acquisition price per share is lower than the Issue Floor, the Company shall issue or the Lead Investor shall transfer (as applicable), in each case acting reasonably and in good faith and within 10 Business Days of the Independent Expert's final determination, to the WBD Investor such number of New Securities (rounded up to the nearest whole number) as is necessary to reflect the position which would have resulted had the New Securities been issued or acquired at the Issue Floor (assuming, for the purposes of such calculation, no corresponding adjustment to any subscription or acquisition amount funded with respect to the New Securities).

 

10.8If the Independent Expert determines that the relevant subscription or acquisition price per share is not lower than the Issue Floor, the costs and expenses of the Independent Expert incurred to make his or her determination shall be borne by the WBD Investor. If the Independent Expert determines that the relevant subscription or acquisition price per share is lower than the Issue Floor, the costs and expenses of the Independent Expert incurred to make his or her determination shall be borne by the Lead Investor.

 

10.9The provisions of clause 7 (New Issues of Securities) of the Acquisition Agreement shall apply to the WBD Investor until and including the Third Completion Date and the provisions of this Clause 10 shall apply to the WBD Investor on and from the date immediately following the Third Completion Date.

13.4Each Investor acknowledges and agrees that, in the event of a proposed IPO:

14.2Each Security Holder acknowledges and agrees that:

 

(a)subject to Clause 14.3, it may receive any shares or other securities of any class issued by any Group Company, as determined by the Lead Investor, by way of a dividend or distribution in kind or in exchange for, or otherwise in replacement of, Securities (the “Replacement Securities”) as part of any such Reorganisation Transaction (in which case, to the extent applicable, this Agreement shall apply to any New Holding Company as if references to the Company were references to it); and

 

(b)it shall enter into any documentation, provide any consents and exercise its voting rights (as a Security Holder or otherwise) as are required to give effect to the Reorganisation Transaction.

 

14.3The number of Replacement Securities to be received by any Security Holder as a result of any Reorganisation Transaction will, to the extent such Replacement Securities have not been sold or otherwise disposed of by such Security Holder in any IPO or otherwise after such Reorganisation Transaction in accordance with this Agreement, reflect the fair market value of the investment, prior to such Reorganisation Transaction as determined by the Lead Investor, of such Security Holder in any Securities that are exchanged as part of the Reorganisation Transaction.

 

14.4The parties agree that the Option Agreement shall be amended to give full effect to the original intent and effect of the Option Agreement.

 

15.TAX MATTERS

 

15.1Subject to Clauses 15.2 to 15.7 (inclusive), the Lead Investor irrevocably undertakes that it will contribute to, or cause to be contributed to, the Company or a relevant Group Company (on an after-Tax basis) an amount equal to any Tax Liability of any Group Company.

(a)the Tax Liability has been made good pursuant to a claim under the RWI Policy;

 

(b)the Tax Liability arises in the ordinary course of business of the relevant Group Company between 31 December 2023 and the date of this Agreement, provided that for the purposes of this Clause 15.2(b) and without limitation, any: (i) Tax for which a Group Company is liable after having failed to make any registration or return required by law in respect thereof; and/or (ii) any interest, penalty, surcharge, fine or additional liability to Tax which in each case arises as a result of a Group Company failing to comply with any requirement of applicable Tax legislation or the published practice of any Tax Authority, shall be deemed not to have arisen in the ordinary course of business of that Group Company;

 

(c)the Tax Liability would not have arisen but for: (i) a change in legislation, regulation, rule, directive requirement, published practice or concessions of any Tax Authority; (ii) any change of application having the force of law of such legislation, regulation, rule, directive, requirement or published practice; or (iii) any change in rates of Tax, in each of cases (i) to (iii) which is announced after the date of the Acquisition Agreement (whether or not the change purports to take effect retrospectively in whole or in part);

 

(d)the Tax Liability is interest, a penalty, a surcharge or a fine arising from a failure to pay Tax to a Tax Authority within a reasonable time after the Lead Investor has made the contribution of the amount required under Clause 15.1;

 

(e)any Relief is available to reduce or eliminate that Tax Liability; or

 

(f)the Tax Liability has been made good without cost to any of the Group Companies.

15.4The maximum aggregate liability of the Lead Investor to make contributions under Clause 15.1 shall not exceed $5,000,000.

 

15.5The Investors and the Company shall cooperate reasonably and in good faith to ensure that any contributions made or to be made under Clause 15.1 are made in a Tax efficient manner, provided for the avoidance of doubt that this shall not oblige the Company to issue any shares or securities to any Investor.

(a)the Company shall first use reasonable efforts to make a claim in respect of such Tax Liability under the RWI Policy before bringing a claim under Clause 15.1; and

 

33

 

 

(b)the Lead Investor shall not be obligated to make any contribution under Clause 15.1 unless and until the claim under the RWI Policy has been satisfied, denied or otherwise settled.

(b)it does not offer to purchase more than its Pro-Rata Portion of the ROFO Sale Shares,

 

and if a ROFO Shareholder who makes a ROFO Offer fails to make a confirmation in the terms of paragraph 2.2(a) or 2.2.(b), it shall be deemed to have irrevocably offered to purchase its Pro-Rata Portion of the ROFO Sale Shares.

 

2.3The ROFO Seller may, at its sole discretion, reject all of the ROFO Offers or irrevocably accept one (but not more than one) ROFO Offer by delivering a written notice to the relevant ROFO Shareholder(s) (the “ROFO Acceptance Notice”) within 20 Business Days from expiry of the ROFO Offer Period (the "ROFO Acceptance Period").
