Section 2.04 Companies Options.

 

(a) IDIT Options Conversion.

 

(i) At the IDIT Closing, each IDIT Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the IDIT Closing, whether or not vested, shall be replaced with an option to purchase common shares of Parent, subject to the remainder of this Section 2.04(a)(i), having the same terms set forth in the Parent's 2011 Option Plan and the Parent's Notice of Share Option Grant issued thereunder, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits M1 and Exhibit M2, respectively, except that the Type of Option Award, the Vesting Commencement Date, the Vesting Schedule and the Expiration Date (as such terms are defined in the Notice of Share Option Grant attached hereto), shall be the same as such terms were determined with respect to the replaced IDIT Option, subject to the terms of the Israeli Option Tax Ruling (all IDIT Options that are replaced pursuant to this Section 2.04(a) are hereafter referred to as "IDIT Assumed Options"). All rights to purchase IDIT Ordinary Shares, as applicable, under IDIT Assumed Options shall thereupon be converted into rights to purchase common shares of Parent and thereafter there shall be no options outstanding to purchase IDIT Shares. Accordingly, from and after the IDIT Closing: (A) each IDIT Assumed Option may be exercised solely for common shares of Parent; (B) the number of common shares of Parent subject to each IDIT Assumed Option shall be determined by multiplying the number of IDIT Ordinary Shares that were subject to such IDIT Assumed Option immediately prior to the IDIT Closing, by the IDIT Conversion Ratio (as defined below), and rounding the resulting number up or down to the nearest whole number of common shares of Parent (with a fraction equal to or greater than 0.50 being rounded up and all other fractions being rounded down) ; (C) the per share exercise price for the common shares of Parent issuable upon exercise of each IDIT Assumed Option shall be determined by dividing the per share exercise price of IDIT Ordinary Shares subject to such IDIT Assumed Option, as in effect immediately prior to the IDIT Closing, by the IDIT Conversion Ratio, and rounding the resulting exercise price up or down to the nearest whole cent (with a fraction equal to or greater than 0.50 being rounded up and all other fractions being rounded down); and (D) any restriction on the exercise of any IDIT Assumed Option shall continue in full force and effect; provided, however, that: (1) each IDIT Assumed Option shall, in accordance with its terms, be subject to further adjustment as appropriate to reflect any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, issuance of bonus shares, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction with respect to common shares of Parent subsequent to the IDIT Closing; and (2) Parent’s board of directors or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of IDIT's boards of directors or any committees thereof with respect to each IDIT Assumed Option. For the avoidance of any doubt, any IDIT Option that is expired or terminated by its terms as a result of the consummation of the IDIT Transaction shall expire or terminate, as applicable, at the IDIT Closing and shall not be replaced with option to purchase common shares of Parent as set forth in this Section 2.04(a).

 

24
 

Execution Copy

 

 

For the purpose of this Section 2.04, the "IDIT Conversion Ratio" shall mean a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the number of IDIT Consideration Shares (including such IDIT Consideration Shares to be held in the IDIT Escrow Deposit and the IDIT Extra Consideration Shares, if any) payable pursuant to this Agreement to the holders of IDIT Ordinary Shares, as set forth in Exhibit C, and (ii) the denominator of which is the number of IDIT Ordinary Shares held by such holders immediately prior to the IDIT Closing (after giving effect to the issuance of IDIT Shares pursuant to the exercise of IDIT Options at or prior to Closing), which fraction is 210.2.

 

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 2.04(a)(i), in the event that the Israeli Options Tax Ruling will not be obtained prior to the IDIT Closing, the IDIT Options shall not be replaced by the Parent at the IDIT Closing and shall continue to be exercisable to IDIT Ordinary Shares until the Israeli Options Tax Ruling is obtained, at which time the IDIT Options shall be replaced pursuant to the terms of Section 2.04(a)(i), mutatis mutandis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event that any IDIT Option is exercised after the IDIT Closing but prior to the replacement of such IDIT Option under Section 2.04(a)(i), then any and all IDIT Shares issued upon such exercise shall automatically upon such exercise and issuance, and with no further action by the holder of such IDIT Options, be deemed to be IDIT Shares that shall have been transferred to Purchaser upon issuance under Section 2.01(a) above, and upon such exercise and issuance, such holder of IDIT Options shall have no rights as a holder of IDIT Shares, rather it shall only be entitled to receive, as consideration, a number of Parent common shares equal to the number of IDIT Shares issued upon such exercise multiplied by the IDIT Conversion Ratio, except that such Parent common shares shall be treated as IDIT Consideration Shares (including allocation to escrow).

 

(iii) Any certificate representing Parent common shares acquired upon the exercise of IDIT Assumed Options prior to the filing of the registration statement on Form S-8 referred to in Section 7.10 shall bear the restrictive legend set forth in Section 2.09 hereof. The IDIT Assumed Options may only be exercised (i) outside the United States in an offshore transaction in accordance with Rule 903 of Regulation S, or (ii) within the United States pursuant to exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Until Parent files the foregoing registration statement on Form S-8, in order to establish the availability of Rule 903, a holder of IDIT Assumed Options will not be entitled to exercise the IDIT Assumed Options unless at the time of such exercise the holder of such IDIT Assumed Options makes to the Parent the representations and warranties of a Selling Shareholder set forth in Section 4.08 with respect to its purchase of the relevant Parent common shares.

(b) FIS Options Conversion.

 

(i) At the FIS Closing, each FIS Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the FIS Closing, whether or not vested, shall be replaced with an option to purchase common shares of Parent, subject to the remainder of this Section 2.04(b)(i), having the same terms set forth in the Parent's 2011 Option Plan and the Parent's Notice of Share Option Grant issued thereunder, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits M1 and Exhibit M2, respectively, except that the Type of Option Award, the Vesting Commencement Date, the Vesting Schedule and the Expiration Date, shall be the same as such terms were determined with respect to the replaced FIS Option , subject to the terms of the Israeli Option Tax Ruling (all FIS Options that are replaced pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) are hereafter referred to as "FIS Assumed Options", and together with the IDIT Assumed Options, the "Assumed Options"). All rights to purchase FIS Ordinary Shares, as applicable, under FIS Assumed Options shall thereupon be converted into rights to purchase common shares of Parent and thereafter there shall be no options outstanding to purchase FIS Shares. Accordingly, from and after the FIS Closing: (A) each FIS Assumed Option may be exercised solely for common shares of Parent; (B) the number of common shares of Parent subject to each FIS Assumed Option shall be determined by multiplying the number of FIS Ordinary Shares that were subject to such FIS Assumed Option immediately prior to the FIS Closing, by the FIS Conversion Ratio (as defined below), and rounding the resulting number up or down to the nearest whole number of common shares of Parent (with a fraction equal to or greater than 0.50 being rounded up and all other fractions being rounded down); (C) the per share exercise price for the common shares of Parent issuable upon exercise of each FIS Assumed Option shall be determined by dividing the per share exercise price of FIS Ordinary Shares subject to such FIS Assumed Option, as in effect immediately prior to the FIS Closing, by the FIS Conversion Ratio, and rounding the resulting exercise price up or down to the nearest whole cent (with a fraction equal to or greater than 0.50 being rounded up and all other fractions being rounded down); and (D) any restriction on the exercise of any FIS Assumed Option shall continue in full force and effect; provided, however, that: (1) each FIS Assumed Option shall, in accordance with its terms, be subject to further adjustment as appropriate to reflect any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, issuance of bonus shares, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction with respect to common shares of Parent subsequent to the FIS Closing; and (2) Parent’s board of directors or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of FIS' boards of directors or any committees thereof with respect to each FIS Assumed Option. For the avoidance of any doubt, any FIS Option that is expired or terminated by its terms as a result of the consummation of the FIS Transaction shall expire or terminate, as applicable, at the FIS Closing and shall not be replaced with option to purchase common shares of Parent as set forth in this Section 2.04(b)

 

For the purpose of this Section 2.04, the "FIS Conversion Ratio" shall mean a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the number of FIS Consideration Shares (including the FIS Consideration Shares to be held in the FIS Deposit and the FIS Extra Consideration Shares, if any) plus a number of common shares of Parent equal to the quotient resulting from the Cash Consideration divided by four (4), and (ii) the denominator of which is the number of FIS Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the FIS Closing (after giving effect to the issuance of FIS Options at or prior to Closing) , which fraction is 392.75.

 

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 2.04(b)(i), in the event that the Israeli Options Tax Ruling will not be obtained prior to the FIS Closing, the FIS Options shall not be replaced by the Parent at the FIS Closing and shall continue to be exercisable to FIS Ordinary Shares until the Israeli Options Tax Ruling is obtained, at which time the FIS Options shall be replaced pursuant to the terms of Section 2.04(b)(i), mutatis mutandis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event that any FIS Option is exercised after the FIS Closing but prior to the replacement of such FIS Option under Section 2.04(b)(i), then any and all FIS Shares issued upon such exercise shall automatically upon such exercise and issuance, and with no further action by the holder of such FIS Options, be deemed to be FIS Shares that shall have been transferred to Purchaser upon issuance under Section 2.01(b)

above, and upon such exercise and issuance, such holder of FIS Options shall have no rights as a holder of FIS Shares, rather it shall only be entitled to receive, as consideration, a number of Parent common shares equal to the number of FIS Shares issued upon such exercise multiplied by the FIS Conversion Ratio, except that such Parent common shares shall be treated as FIS Consideration Shares (including allocation to escrow).

(iii) Any certificate representing Parent common shares acquired upon the exercise of FIS Assumed Options prior to the filing of the registration statement on Form S-8 referred to in Section 7.10

shall bear the restrictive legend set forth in Section 2.09

hereof. The FIS Assumed Options may only be exercised (i) outside the United States in an offshore transaction in accordance with Rule 903 of Regulation S, or (ii) within the United States pursuant to exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Until Parent files the foregoing registration statement on Form S-8, in order to establish the availability of Rule 903, a holder of FIS Assumed Options will not be entitled to exercise the FIS Assumed Options unless at the time of such exercise the holder of such FIS Assumed Options makes to the Parent the representations and warranties of a Selling Shareholder set forth in Section 4.08

with respect to its purchase of the relevant Parent common shares.

 

(c) Discretionary Assumption of Companies Option Plan. At the date of actual replacement of the Assumed Options pursuant to this Section 2.04 (the "Assumption Date"), Parent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume any or all of the Companies Option Plans or merge any of such Companies Option Plans into any stock option plan of Parent. If Parent elects to so assume or merge any Companies Option Plan, then, under such Companies Option Plan, Parent shall be entitled to grant stock awards, to the extent permissible under Applicable Law, using the share reserves of such Companies Option Plan as of the respective Assumption Date (including any shares subsequently returned to such share reserves as a result of the termination of Assumed Options), except that: (i) stock covered by such awards shall be common shares of Parent; (ii) all references in such Companies Option Plan to a number of IDIT Ordinary Shares or FIS Ordinary Shares shall be deemed amended to refer instead to a number of common shares of Parent determined by multiplying the number of referenced IDIT Ordinary Shares or FIS Ordinary Shares, as the case may be, by the IDIT Conversion Ratio or the FIS Conversion Ratio, as applicable, and rounding the resulting number up or down to the nearest whole number of common shares of Parent (with a fraction equal to or greater than 0.50 being rounded up and all other fractions being rounded down); and (iii) the Parent’s board of directors or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the relevant Company's board of directors or any committee thereof with respect to the administration of such Companies Option Plan.

 

(d) Prior to the respective Assumption Date, each Company shall take all action that may be necessary (under the Companies Option Plans and otherwise) to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.04 and to ensure that, from and after the respective Assumption Date, holders of Companies Options have no rights with respect thereto other than those specifically provided in this Section 2.04. 

 

(e) As soon as practicable following the respective Assumption Date, the Parent shall send each Person holding Assumed Options a notice with respect to the matters described in this Section 2.04.

 

(f) Each Assumed Option that has been held for the benefit of Israeli-resident employees or office holders of the Companies by the IDIT 102 Trustee or the FIS 102 Trustee shall continue to be held by such trustees for such period of time and in accordance with the terms of (i) Section 102 of the Tax Ordinance or any regulations, rules, orders or procedures promulgated thereunder; and (ii) to the extent obtained by the Companies, the Israeli Option Tax Ruling.

The Arbitrator shall not be bound by procedural law or rules of evidence and shall have no authority to issue any injunctions, orders or other interlocutory remedies, but will rule consistent with the substantive law of the State of Israel. Pending the Arbitrator’s award, the costs and expenses of the Arbitrator shall be borne equally by Purchaser and the respective Shareholders Representative or specific Selling Shareholder, as applicable. The award of the Arbitrator shall be in writing, state the reasons upon which it is based, and shall be final and binding upon the parties. Any arbitration proceeding hereunder and the content of any discussions or communications with the Arbitrator shall be conducted on a confidential basis, shall be subject to such disclosure restrictions imposed on the parties under any Applicable Law and the Arbitrator shall be required to execute, prior to the commencement of its service, Purchaser’s standard confidentiality agreement. Any amount payable to an Indemnified Party according to a written decision of the Arbitrator shall be disbursed pursuant to the terms of Section 10.04(c) as if such amount was an Agreed Amount. Any ruling or decision of the Arbitrator may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. This Section constitutes an Arbitration Agreement in accordance with the Arbitration Law.
