Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (this “Exchange Agreement”) is being entered into as January 25, 2024 (the “Exchange Date”), by and among Selina Hospitality PLC, a public limited company duly organized and existing under the laws of England and Wales (the “Company”), Osprey International Limited, registered in Cyprus with number HE385659 (“Osprey”, and Osprey or an affiliate thereof, the “Investor”), and Kibbutz Holding S.À.R.L., a company incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg, and registered with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies Register under number B254087 (“Kibbutz”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company has previously issued 6.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) to certain investors in an aggregate principal amount at maturity of $147,500,000;

 

WHEREAS, the Notes were issued pursuant to that certain Indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of October 27, 2022, between the Company, as Issuer, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Old Trustee”);

 

WHEREAS, Kibbutz beneficially owns $14,700,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes (such Notes beneficially owned by Kibbutz, the “Old Notes”);

 

WHEREAS, Kibbutz desires to exchange the Old Notes in full for: (i) a 6.00% Secured Convertible Note due 2029 in a principal amount of $10,000,000 (the “Exchange Note”), on terms, such that Osprey shall receive the newly issued Exchange Note directly from the Company; (ii) 23,500,000 ordinary shares of the Company with a nominal value of $0.005064 each (rounded to six decimal places) (“Ordinary Shares”) (such Ordinary Shares, the “Exchange Shares”), such Exchange Shares to be issued directly to Osprey, and, together with the Exchange Note, the “Exchange Securities”), and as directed by Kibbutz and agreed among the parties hereto, the Company desires to issue to Osprey the Exchange Securities in exchange for the cancellation of the Old Notes, including the cancellation of any and all outstanding principal and accrued interest thereon, which is part of a wider restructuring of the 2026 Notes, whereby certain other institutional accredited investors who are holders of 2026 Notes (the “Other Investors”) are exchanging their 2026 Notes for newly issued Senior Secured Notes due 2029 under a new Indenture, Ordinary Shares and Warrants on the day hereof (collectively, the “Note Restructuring”);

 

WHEREAS, concurrently with the Note Restructuring, the Investor is making certain new equity investments into the Company, as disclosed in more details under the heading “New Osprey Investment Arrangements” included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 6-K (the “December 6-K”), furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 4, 2023 (the “Investment”);

 

WHEREAS, concurrently with the Note Restructuring, certain warrants held by Kibbutz would be repriced to $0.01 per share as described in the December 6-K;

 

 

 

 

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Exchange Agreement, the Company will enter into exchange agreements (the “Other Exchange Agreements” and together with this Exchange Agreement, the “Exchange Agreements”) with the Other Investors, which are on substantially the same terms as the terms of this Exchange Agreement (it being understood that Kibbutz’s Exchange Note to be issued to Osprey will be a different series of notes than the Other Investors’ Senior Secured Notes due 2029, as the Exchange Note is convertible into Ordinary Shares, rather than being senior secured notes, but otherwise having substantially similar terms), pursuant to which such Other Investors shall agree to exchange on the Closing Date their 2026 Notes and an amount of Ordinary Shares and Warrants as reflected in the Other Exchange Agreements; and

 

WHEREAS, the Investors understand that in connection with the Note Restructuring, the Company launched a consent solicitation through DTC, seeking consents to amend certain terms of the 2026 Notes (the “Consent Solicitation”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
