not propose or procure the proposal of a shareholder resolution of the Company which is intended or appears to be intended to circumvent the proper application of the Listing Rules.

For so long as the Principal Shareholder is a Controlling Shareholder of the Company, the Principal Shareholder shall (and shall, so far as it is legally able to do so, procure that their respective Associates shall) not take any action which precludes the Company or any other member of the Consumer Healthcare Group from carrying on an independent business as its main activity.

The obligations of the Principal Shareholder to satisfy its undertakings in clauses 3.1 and 3.2 shall include, but shall not be limited to exercising, causing the exercise or, as applicable, preventing the exercise of all shareholder rights in the Company exercisable by it or, insofar as it is legally able to do so, any of its Associates in the manner required to give effect to its obligations under this Deed.

18


4.4

The appointments envisaged by clauses 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 shall not be made to the extent that they would prevent Admission taking place or amount to a breach of Law or the Listing Rules (a “Relevant Breach”). In any situation where this clause 4.4 applies to prevent the appointments envisaged by clauses 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3, the Principal Shareholder and the Company shall cooperate in good faith to find an alternative arrangement that approximates as nearly as possible the rights of the Principal Shareholder and/or the envisaged appointments (as applicable).

 

4.5

Subject to clause 4.4, the Company shall: (i) procure that each Representative Director (including any Representative Director who is nominated as a replacement of another Representative Director or nominee pursuant to clause 4.6 or following any Representative Director’s removal or cessation of service as a Director due to death, disability or for any other reason) is appointed as a non-executive Director promptly following nomination by the Principal Shareholder as a Director; and (ii) provide reasonable assistance in connection with any and all relevant regulatory approvals, consents or requirements relating to the appointment of each Representative Director as such. It shall be a term of the appointment of each Representative Director that his/her appointment is on and subject to the terms of this Deed.

Subject always to clauses 4.1 and 4.2, the Principal Shareholder shall be entitled to remove from office any person appointed as a Representative Director and to nominate another person in his/her place, provided that if a person is so removed he/she shall be removed, and another person shall be nominated in his/her place, as a Director. The Principal Shareholder shall procure that any Representative Director who is removed as a Director in accordance with the terms of this Deed shall resign forthwith without seeking compensation for loss of office and waiving all claims that such Representative Director may have against the Company in connection thereto.

 

4.7

Other in the case of the appointments contemplated by clause 4.3, the Principal Shareholder shall consult with the chair of the Company’s Nomination Committee from time to time as to the identity of its Representative Directors prior to nominating any person as a Representative Director in accordance with clauses 4.1, 4.2 or 4.6.

A notice served by the Principal Shareholder on the Company to remove a Representative Director shall constitute an offer by such Representative Director to resign immediately or, if a date for his/her removal is specified in such notice, on that date, in each case without seeking compensation for loss of office (other than any compensation earned or accrued prior to the date of such Representative Director’s removal).

 

4.9

The Company may, by notice in writing, immediately terminate the appointment of a Representative Director to the Board if:

 

  (A)

the Principal Shareholder has ceased to be entitled to nominate the number of Representative Directors currently in post pursuant to clauses 4.1 and 4.2;

 

  (B)

such Representative Director is disqualified from acting as a Director pursuant to any applicable Law;

 

19


  (C)

such Representative Director is removed as an office holder in accordance with the Companies Act or in accordance with the Articles of Association;

 

  (D)

such Representative Director commits a material breach of his/her obligations under the terms of his/her appointment;

 

  (E)

such Representative Director is not re-elected at the annual general meeting, if applicable;

 

  (F)

the Company receives a notice from the Principal Shareholder in accordance with clause 4.8; or

 

  (G)

such Representative Director’s continuation as a Director amounts to a Relevant Breach.

 

4.10

The Principal Shareholder agrees that, if the appointment of a Representative Director is terminated by the Company for any reason set out in clause 4.9, then the Principal Shareholder shall procure the resignation of such individual as a Director as soon as reasonably practicable and the Principal Shareholder shall be entitled to nominate another individual for appointment as a Representative Director in accordance with clause 4.5 (unless the appointment of such Representative Director is terminated pursuant to clause 4.9(A)); provided that the Principal Shareholder shall not be entitled to nominate the same such individual for re-appointment as a Representative Director, other than where the appointment of the Representative Director is terminated by the Company for the reason set out in clauses 4.9(A) or 4.9(F).

 

4.11

If the Representative Director refuses to resign when required to do so pursuant to this clause 4, the Company and the Principal Shareholder shall use reasonable endeavours to ensure that such individual is removed either pursuant to a special notice and ordinary resolution of the shareholders of the Company under section 168 of the Companies Act or pursuant to applicable procedures under the Articles of Association, in either case, as soon as reasonably practicable.

 

4.12

The Board shall not propose an amendment to the Articles of Association which would be inconsistent with the provisions of this Deed without the prior written consent of the Principal Shareholder.

 

4.13

The Principal Shareholder acknowledges that the Representative Director will, together with the other Directors, be subject to annual retirement and re-election as set out in the Articles of Association and/or any corporate governance practice adopted by the Board (including as set out in the Corporate Governance Code), and that there shall be no cause of action under this Deed if the Company’s shareholders vote against the appointment or re-election of a person nominated as a Representative Director, without limiting any of the Principal Shareholder’s rights under clause 4.5. Unless the Principal Shareholder gives written notice to the Company that it does not wish a serving Representative Director to be nominated for re-election at the time that the Representative Director is required to seek re-election pursuant to the Articles of Association or otherwise, the Company shall (subject to the other provisions of this Deed) ensure that each Representative Director is nominated and recommended for re-election.

4.14

Subject to applicable Law, each Representative Director shall be permitted to communicate information obtained in the course of his/her office as a Director to any member of the Principal Shareholder Group, provided that the restrictions contained in clause 7 (Confidentiality) shall apply to such information.

 

4.15

Subject to the Representative Director’s compliance with his/her fiduciary duties and his/her duty to act in the best interests of the Company, the Parties acknowledge that where the Representative Director has or receives information in their capacity within the Principal Shareholder Group and in respect of which a duty of confidentiality applies, the conflict approval arrangements applying to the Company and the Board shall be operated so that he/she shall not be obliged to disclose that information to the Company or to the Board. The Representative Director will be under an obligation to act in a manner consistent with this clause 4.15 under the terms of his/her appointment as a Director of the Company.

 

5.

  (D)

to the taking of any relevant action with the prior written consent of the Company or (if it still holds shares in the Company) GSK (and/or any member of the GSK Group) (as applicable);

The Parties acknowledge that:

as at the date of this Deed, the Company has obtained from the Panel a waiver of the application of Rule 9 of the Takeover Code to members of the Principal Shareholder Group as regards any obligation of any member of the Principal Shareholder Group to make a general offer for Ordinary Shares in accordance with Rule 9 of the Takeover Code that may otherwise arise as a result of the Company entering into any Relevant Transaction pursuant to the authority described in (A) above.

 

6.2

For so long as the Voting Rights Condition is satisfied and, subject (where necessary) to the prior consent of the Panel, the Company undertakes to procure that:

at each annual general meeting of the Company at which an Annual Buy-Back Resolution is to be put to the Company’s shareholders, the Company shall propose:

 

22


  (i)

to the Independent Shareholders a resolution on which their votes are counted on a poll to waive, in accordance with Rule 37.1 and Appendix 1 of the Takeover Code, any obligation of the Principal Shareholder to make a general offer for Ordinary Shares in accordance with Rule 9 of the Takeover Code that may otherwise arise as a result of the Company entering into a Relevant Transaction (an “Annual Whitewash Resolution”); and

prior to the Company entering into such Relevant Transaction: (i) the Company’s Independent Shareholders have passed an Annual Whitewash Resolution, and (ii) the Panel has consented to waive the obligation of any member of the Principal Shareholder Group to make a mandatory offer pursuant to Rule 9 of the Takeover Code that would otherwise have been imposed under the Takeover Code as a result of such Relevant Transaction and each of such resolution and waiver remains in effect; or

 

  (B)

the number of Ordinary Shares to be transferred pursuant to the proposed Relevant Transaction is such that it would not result in any obligation being imposed on a member of the Principal Shareholder Group to make a general offer for Ordinary Shares in accordance with Rule 9 of the Takeover Code; or

 

  (C)

the Panel has consented to waive the obligation of any member of the Principal Shareholder Group to make a mandatory offer pursuant to Rule 9 of the Takeover Code that would otherwise have been imposed under the Takeover Code as a result of the Relevant Transaction, and such waiver remains in effect.
