| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
|---|
On July 1, 2025, atai Life Sciences N.V. (“atai” or the “Company”) entered into subscription agreements, dated as of July 1, 2025 (“Subscription Agreements”), relating to the purchase (the “PIPE Financing”) by the investors party thereto (the “PIPE Investors”) of 18,264,840 ordinary shares in the capital of the Company with a nominal value of €0.10 per share (“Common Shares”) for a purchase price of $2.19 per share and a pre-funded warrant to purchase 4,566,210 Common Shares with an exercise price of $0.01 (the “Pre-Funded Warrant”) for a purchase price of $2.19 per Common Share underlying the Pre-Funded Warrant less the exercise price for the Pre-Funded Warrant of $0.01 per share, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from the PIPE Financing of approximately $50 million. The PIPE Financing is subject to customary closing conditions, as described further under “Subscription Agreements” below. The PIPE Financing is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025. The proceeds from the PIPE Financing are expected to be used by the Company for general corporate purposes, including for working capital and to advance the clinical development of its product candidates and programs. Apeiron Investment Group Ltd. (“Apeiron”), the family office of Christian Angermayer, Co-Founder and Chairman of the Company, participated in the PIPE Financing. TD Securities (USA) LLC, Leerink Partners LLC, Guggenheim Securities, LLC and Berenberg Capital Markets LLC acted as joint-lead placement agents in connection with the PIPE Financing.
The Company estimates that, after giving effect to the consummation of the PIPE Financing following the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the Subscription Agreements described herein, its cash, short-term securities and public equity holdings will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses into the second half of 2027. The Company has based this estimate on assumptions (including without limitation, that the closing conditions to the PIPE Financing will be satisfied, or that they will be satisfied in a timely manner) that may prove to be incorrect, and the Company could use its available capital resources sooner than it currently expects.
As previously reported on June 2, 2025, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement, dated as of June 2, 2025, by and among the Company, Beckley Psytech Limited (“Beckley Psytech”) and certain other parties thereto (the “SPA”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire from the shareholders of Beckley Psytech (the “Sellers”) the entire issued share capital of Beckley Psytech not already owned by the Company (the “Acquisition”) by issuing to the Sellers 105,044,902 Common Shares. The proceeds from the PIPE Financing will not be used to finance the Acquisition, and the closing of the PIPE Financing is not conditioned on the closing of the Acquisition. Beckley Psytech is a private clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing psychedelic product candidates designed to be rapid-acting. Beckley Psytech’s two investigational compounds are BPL-003, Mebufotenin benzoate, for treatment-resistant depression (“TRD”) and alcohol use disorder, and ELE-101, psilocin, for the treatment of major depressive disorder. As previously announced, in January 2024, the Company made a strategic investment in Beckley Psytech, resulting in an approximate one third ownership stake of Beckley Psytech.
Subscription Agreements
On July 1, 2025, in connection with the PIPE Financing, the Company entered into the Subscription Agreements with the PIPE Investors, pursuant to which,
among other things, the PIPE Investors have agreed to purchase an aggregate of approximately 18,264,840 Common Shares and the Pre-funded Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price
of approximately $50 million, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein.
The Subscription Agreements contain customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing and termination provisions, as well as, for all PIPE Investors, a closing condition that the expiration or termination of the waiting period (and any extension thereof) under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”) with respect to a filing pursuant to the HSR Act expected to be made by Christian Angermayer in connection with Apeiron’s investment in the PIPE Financing has occurred. The Subscription Agreements may be terminated by either the Company or the PIPE Investor party thereto if the PIPE Financing has not been consummated on or before November 1, 2025.
The securities being issued and sold in the private placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state’s securities laws, and were issued and sold in a private placement in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The securities may not be offered or sold in the United States, except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.
The foregoing description of the Subscription Agreements does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Subscription Agreements, the forms of which are filed as Exhibit 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
Pre-Funded Warrant
The Pre-Funded Warrant is expected to be issued in connection with the closing of the PIPE Financing. The Pre-Funded Warrant provides the holder thereof with the right to purchase 4,566,210 Common Shares with an exercise price of $0.01 and will be immediately exercisable on the date of the issuance of the Pre-Funded Warrant. The Pre-Funded Warrant does not expire until the date the Common Shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants have been exercised in full. Under the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrant, the Company may not effect the exercise of any Pre-Funded Warrant, and the holder will not be entitled to exercise any portion of any Pre-Funded Warrant that, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause an aggregate number of Common Shares beneficially owned by such holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed 4.99% of the total number of Common Shares of the Company outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise. The Pre-Funded Warrant may be exercised by a holder by paying the exercise price in cash or on a cashless basis. No fractional shares will be issued upon any exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrant. If, upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrant, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company may at its option, upon exercise, pay cash in lieu of any such factional share or round up to the nearest whole share. The exercise price and number of Common Shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions thereof. Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, the Pre-Funded Warrant and all rights thereunder are transferable subject to the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrant. The Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrant are expected to be registered for resale pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement described below.
The foregoing description of the Pre-Funded Warrant does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Pre-Funded Warrant, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Registration Rights Agreement
On July 1, 2025, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement, dated July 1, 2025, with the PIPE Investors (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) providing for certain resale shelf registration rights with respect to Common Shares held by such holders from time to time.
The Registration Rights Agreement requires the Company to file a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of all or part of the registrable securities held by the parties thereto as promptly as practicable, and in any event within 30 calendar days following the earlier of (i) the closing of the transactions contemplated by the SPA and (ii) the termination of the SPA, and use reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within the timelines specified therein, and thereafter to keep such registration statement effective for the periods specified therein. The Registration Rights Agreement also contains customary indemnity, exculpation and contribution obligations by the Company and the other parties to the Registration Rights Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.5 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
| Item 3.02 | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities |
|---|
On July 1, 2025, the Company entered into the Subscription Agreements, in each case, in a private placement in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Common Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrant issued in the PIPE Financing will be offered and sold in reliance on the exemption afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The offer and sale of the Common Shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrant have not been registered under the Securities Act. To the extent required, the information contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
| Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure |
|---|
On July 1, 2025, the Company issued press releases regarding the Beckley Psytech data described in Item 8.01 below and the PIPE Financing described in Item 1.01 above. Copies of the press releases are furnished as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 herewith. Attached as Exhibit 99.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K is the form of presentation used by the Company in presentations with the PIPE Investors.
The information contained under Item 7.01 of this Form 8-K (including Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3), shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as may be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
| Item 8.01 | Other Events |
|---|
Beckley Psytech Data
On July 1, 2025, Beckley Psytech publicly announced positive topline findings from the core part of its Phase IIb blinded clinical study of PBL-003 in 193 patients with moderate-to-severe TRD (defined as non-response to two or more prior treatments in the current depressive episode). BPL-003 is Beckley Psytech’s investigational, synthetic, intranasal formulation of 5-MeO-DMT benzoate. According to the announcement, (i) a single 12 mg dose of BPL-003 led to a mean reduction in Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (“MADRS”) score of 11.1 from baseline compared with 5.8 in the 0.3 mg comparator dose arm (p=0.0038) at Day 29, with the 8 mg dose arm showing a mean MADRS reduction of 12.1 from baseline at that same timepoint (p=0.0025), (ii) efficacy results were statistically significant in both active arms from as early as Day 2, with mean MADRS reductions from baseline of 8.8 in the 8 mg group and 8.9 in the 12 mg group observed at that timepoint (these mean reductions from baseline increased to 11.1 in the 8 mg group and 10.8 in the 12 mg group at Day 8), and (iii) a durable effect was also observed for both doses, with the 8 mg group showing a mean reduction of 10.8 points from baseline at Day 57 and the 12 mg group showing a mean reduction of 10.2 points from baseline compared with the 0.3 mg group (5.2 point reduction). BPL-003 was generally well-tolerated with more than 99% of adverse events being reported as mild or moderate and no drug-related serious adverse events reported, and with no participants in the 12 mg or 8 mg arms having any instance of treatment-emergent suicidal intent or behavior, indicating no suicide-related safety signal. The majority of patients were deemed ready for discharge at 90 minutes post-dose. Beckley Psytech believes these results support selection of the 8 mg dose for Phase III studies of BPL-003 and now plans to progress Phase III planning with appropriate regulatory bodies.

|---|
(a) Organization. The Purchaser is (a) duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its place of incorporation, organization or formation and (b) has all requisite power, right and authority to conduct its business as now conducted in all material respects.
4
(b) Authorization. The Purchaser has all necessary power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Purchaser, will, assuming the due and valid authorization, execution and delivery of such Agreement by the Company, constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and any other Laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and as limited by Laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.
(c) Non-Contravention. Except as may result from any facts or circumstances relating solely to the Company or its Subsidiaries, neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Purchaser, nor the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, will (with or without the passage of time or giving of notice or both) (i) conflict with or violate the organizational documents of the Purchaser, (ii) result in a breach or default under, or create in any person the right to terminate, cancel, accelerate or modify, or require any notice, consent or waiver under, conflict with or violate any Order or Material Contract to which the Purchaser is a party, by which the Purchaser is bound or by which any of the Purchaser’s properties or assets is subject, or (iii) violate any material Law or Order applicable to the Purchaser or any of the Purchaser’s properties or assets, except in each case that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Purchaser’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
(d) Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with the Purchaser in reliance upon the Purchaser’s representation under this Section 5 to the Company, which by the Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby confirms, that the Purchased Shares to be acquired by the Purchaser will be acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s own account and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, the Purchaser further represents that the Purchaser does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any third party to sell, transfer or grant participations to any third party, with respect to any of the Purchased Shares.
(e) Status of Purchaser. The Purchaser is an accredited investor as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and as indicated and attested to by Purchaser on Exhibit B hereto. The Purchaser has such knowledge, skill and experience in financial, investment and business matters that the Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Purchased Shares. The Purchaser has had the opportunity to consult with the Purchaser’s own attorney, accountant and/or financial advisers regarding the Purchaser’s investment in the Purchased Shares and their suitability for purchase by the Purchaser, and to the extent deemed necessary by the Purchaser in its sole discretion the Purchaser has retained, at the Purchaser’s own expense, and relied upon, appropriate professional advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits, risks and consequences of this Agreement and of purchasing and owning the Purchased Shares.
(f) Restricted Securities. The Purchaser understands that the Purchased Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such Purchased Shares may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.
5
(g) General Solicitation. Acknowledgements Regarding Placement Agents. The Purchaser represents that no Purchased Shares were offered or sold to it by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising as such terms are used in Regulation D of the Securities Act. The Purchaser represents that it is making this investment based on the results of its own due diligence investigation of the Company, and has not relied on any information or advice furnished by or on behalf of TD Securities (USA) LLC, Leerink Partners LLC, Guggenheim Securities, LLC or Berenberg Capital Markets LLC (the “Placement
Agents”\) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
(h) Purchaser’s Review. The Purchaser has (i) received, reviewed, and understood the offering materials it deems necessary to make its decision to purchase the Securities, including financial and other information made available to it in connection with the Purchased Shares, the Company, and the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, (ii) had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company directly, as it deems necessary with respect to the financial information, the Purchased Shares, the Company, and the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, and (iii) conducted and completed its own independent due diligence with respect to the Purchased Shares, the Company, and the transactions contemplated by the Agreement. Based on such information as the Purchaser deemed appropriate, and without reliance upon the Placement Agents, the Purchaser has independently made its own analysis and decision to purchase the Purchased Shares.

(d) Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended, terminated, waived or modified only with the written consent of the Company and the Purchaser. Subject to applicable Laws, any failure of the parties to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement, or condition in this Agreement may be waived by the party entitled to the benefits thereof only by a written instrument signed by the party granting such waiver. No delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any waiver on the part of any party of any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement operate as a waiver of any other right, power, or privilege under this Agreement, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege under this Agreement. Whenever this Agreement requires or permits consent by or on behalf of a party, such consent will be given in writing in a manner consistent with the requirements for a waiver of compliance as set forth in this Section 8(d). Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 8(d) shall be binding upon the Purchaser and each transferee of the Purchased Shares, each future holder of all such securities, and the Company.
(e) Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto or thereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein or therein with respect to such party. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, manager, member, partner, stockholder, affiliate, agent, attorney or other representative of any party hereto or of any affiliate of any party hereto (“Non-Party Affiliates”), or any of their successors or permitted assigns, shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or affiliates) for any obligations or liabilities of any party hereto under this Agreement for any claim, action, legal suit or other legal proceeding based on, in respect of or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby; and each party hereto waives and releases all such liabilities, claims and obligations against any such Non-Party Affiliates. Non-Party Affiliates are expressly intended as third party beneficiaries of this provision of this Agreement.
(f) Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is deemed by any court to be violative of Law or public policy and therefore invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the parties.
8
(g) Cumulative Remedies; Specific Performance. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto shall be cumulative (and not alternative) of each other and of every other right or remedy the parties may otherwise have at law or in equity, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies. The parties to this Agreement agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any party to this Agreement of any covenant, obligation or other provision set forth in this Agreement for the benefit of any other party to this Agreement, irreparable damage may occur and the parties may not have any adequate remedy at law, and that such other party may be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it) to an Order of specific performance or mandamus to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant, obligation or other provision by such party breaching or threatening breach, and an injunction or injunctions preventing or restraining such breach or threatened breach against such party, in each case without proof of actual damages or otherwise. Each party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.
(h) Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. The parties (i) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of the state courts of New York and to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court in the County of New York for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement, (ii) agree not to commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement except in the state courts of New York or the United States District Court in the County of New York, and (iii) hereby waive, and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS, THE PURCHASED SHARES OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR THEREOF. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE TRANSACTIONS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. THIS SECTION HAS BEEN FULLY DISCUSSED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THESE PROVISIONS WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY EXCEPTIONS. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT SUCH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT SUCH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.
9
(i) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect hereto, and supersedes all prior and all other contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations and statements, both written and oral, among the parties or any of their affiliates (for the avoidance of doubt, not including the Company) with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.
(j) Successors and Assigns. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties named herein and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. The rights and obligations of this Agreement may not be assigned by any party without the prior written consent of the Company and the Purchaser. Any purported assignment that does not comply with the provisions of this Section 8(j) shall be void.
(k) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
(l) Interpretation and Rules of Construction.
(i) When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section, Exhibit or Schedule, such reference is to an Article or Section of, or an Exhibit or Schedule to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents, titles and section headings used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.
(ii) Each party hereto agrees that it has been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waives the application of any Law providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. Without limiting anything contained in this Agreement, it is acknowledged that if any party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant.
10
(iii) Where specific language is used to clarify by example a general statement contained herein, such specific language shall not be deemed to modify, limit or restrict in any manner the construction of the general statement to which it relates (such that, for instance, “including” shall mean “including, without limitation”). The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms. Whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa. The word “if” and other words of similar import when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the phrase “and only if.” The words “herein,” “hereto,” and “hereby” and other words of similar import in this Agreement shall be deemed in each case to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or other subdivision of this Agreement. Any reference herein to “dollars” or “$” shall mean United States dollars. The term “or” shall be deemed to mean “and/or”. Any reference to any particular code section or any other Law will be interpreted to include any revision of or successor to that section regardless of how it is numbered or classified and any reference herein to an administrative or other regulatory body shall be deemed to include reference to any successor thereto. Any reference herein to any period of days will mean the relevant number of calendar days unless otherwise specified. When calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which, any act is to be done or step taken under this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period will be excluded. If the last day of such period is a non-business day, the period in question will end on the next succeeding business day. All accounting terms used herein and not expressly defined herein shall have the meanings given to them under GAAP.
(m) Survival. All representations and warranties made by the parties hereto in this Agreement or in any other agreement, certificate or instrument provided for or contemplated hereby, shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and any investigations made by or on behalf of the parties.

(o) Third Party Beneficiaries. The Placement Agents and their respective affiliates and representatives may rely on and shall be express third party beneficiaries of the representations and warranties and other provisions herein as if such representations and warranties, as applicable, were made directly to the Placement Agents.
(p) Disclosure. From and after the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, the undersigned shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information received from the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents (including the Placement Agents).

(a) Due Organization; Qualification.
(i) Each of the Company and its subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (in each jurisdiction in which such qualification exists) under the laws of its place of incorporation, organization or formation and has all necessary power and authority to conduct its business in the manner in which its business is currently being conducted.
(ii) The Company is duly registered, licensed or otherwise qualified to do business as a foreign entity, and is in good standing, under the laws of all jurisdictions in which such qualification exists and where the character of the properties owned or leased by it or the nature of its business requires such registration, licensing or other qualification, except where such failure to be so registered, licensed or otherwise qualified would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, operating results or assets of the Company or on the Company’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (a “Material Adverse Effect”). Each of the Company’s subsidiaries is duly registered, licensed or otherwise qualified to do business as a foreign entity, and is in good standing, under the laws of all jurisdictions which such qualification exists and where the character of the properties owned or leased by it or the nature of its business requires such registration, licensing or other qualification, except where such failure to be so registered, licensed or otherwise qualified would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Authority; Binding Nature of Agreement. The Company has all necessary power and authority to enter into and to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

| 5. | Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby represents and<br> warrants to the Company as of the date hereof: |
|---|
(a) Organization. The Purchaser is (a) duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its place of incorporation, organization or formation and (b) has all requisite power, right and authority to conduct its business as now conducted in all material respects.
4
(b) Authorization. The Purchaser has all necessary power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Purchaser, will, assuming the due and valid authorization, execution and delivery of such Agreement by the Company, constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and any other Laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and as limited by Laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.
(c) Non-Contravention. Except as may result from any facts or circumstances relating solely to the Company or its Subsidiaries, neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Purchaser, nor the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, will (with or without the passage of time or giving of notice or both) (i) conflict with or violate the organizational documents of the Purchaser, (ii) result in a breach or default under, or create in any person the right to terminate, cancel, accelerate or modify, or require any notice, consent or waiver under, conflict with or violate any Order or Material Contract to which the Purchaser is a party, by which the Purchaser is bound or by which any of the Purchaser’s properties or assets is subject, or (iii) violate any material Law or Order applicable to the Purchaser or any of the Purchaser’s properties or assets, except in each case that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Purchaser’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
(d) Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with the Purchaser in reliance upon the Purchaser’s representation under this Section 5 to the Company, which by the Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby confirms, that the Purchased Shares to be acquired by the Purchaser will be acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s own account and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, the Purchaser further represents that the Purchaser does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any third party to sell, transfer or grant participations to any third party, with respect to any of the Purchased Shares.
(e) Status of Purchaser. The Purchaser is an accredited investor as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and as indicated and attested to by Purchaser on Exhibit B hereto. The Purchaser has such knowledge, skill and experience in financial, investment and business matters that the Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Purchased Shares. The Purchaser has had the opportunity to consult with the Purchaser’s own attorney, accountant and/or financial advisers regarding the Purchaser’s investment in the Purchased Shares and their suitability for purchase by the Purchaser, and to the extent deemed necessary by the Purchaser in its sole discretion the Purchaser has retained, at the Purchaser’s own expense, and relied upon, appropriate professional advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits, risks and consequences of this Agreement and of purchasing and owning the Purchased Shares.
(f) Restricted Securities. The Purchaser understands that the Purchased Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such Purchased Shares may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.
5
(g) General Solicitation. Acknowledgements Regarding Placement Agents. The Purchaser represents that no Purchased Shares were offered or sold to it by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising as such terms are used in Regulation D of the Securities Act. The Purchaser represents that it is making this investment based on the results of its own due diligence investigation of the Company, and has not relied on any information or advice furnished by or on behalf of TD Securities (USA) LLC, Leerink Partners LLC, Guggenheim Securities, LLC or Berenberg Capital Markets LLC (the “Placement
Agents”\) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
(h) Purchaser’s Review. The Purchaser has (i) received, reviewed, and understood the offering materials it deems necessary to make its decision to purchase the Securities, including financial and other information made available to it in connection with the Purchased Shares, the Company, and the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, (ii) had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company directly, as it deems necessary with respect to the financial information, the Purchased Shares, the Company, and the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, and (iii) conducted and completed its own independent due diligence with respect to the Purchased Shares, the Company, and the transactions contemplated by the Agreement. Based on such information as the Purchaser deemed appropriate, and without reliance upon the Placement Agents, the Purchaser has independently made its own analysis and decision to purchase the Purchased Shares.

(d) Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended, terminated, waived or modified only with the written consent of the Company and the Purchaser. Subject to applicable Laws, any failure of the parties to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement, or condition in this Agreement may be waived by the party entitled to the benefits thereof only by a written instrument signed by the party granting such waiver. No delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any waiver on the part of any party of any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement operate as a waiver of any other right, power, or privilege under this Agreement, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege under this Agreement. Whenever this Agreement requires or permits consent by or on behalf of a party, such consent will be given in writing in a manner consistent with the requirements for a waiver of compliance as set forth in this Section 8(d). Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 8(d) shall be binding upon the Purchaser and each transferee of the Purchased Shares, each future holder of all such securities, and the Company.
(e) Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto or thereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein or therein with respect to such party. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, manager, member, partner, stockholder, affiliate, agent, attorney or other representative of any party hereto or of any affiliate of any party hereto (“Non-Party Affiliates”), or any of their successors or permitted assigns, shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or affiliates) for any obligations or liabilities of any party hereto under this Agreement for any claim, action, legal suit or other legal proceeding based on, in respect of or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby; and each party hereto waives and releases all such liabilities, claims and obligations against any such Non-Party Affiliates. Non-Party Affiliates are expressly intended as third party beneficiaries of this provision of this Agreement.
(f) Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is deemed by any court to be violative of Law or public policy and therefore invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the parties.
8
(g) Cumulative Remedies; Specific Performance. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto shall be cumulative (and not alternative) of each other and of every other right or remedy the parties may otherwise have at law or in equity, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies. The parties to this Agreement agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any party to this Agreement of any covenant, obligation or other provision set forth in this Agreement for the benefit of any other party to this Agreement, irreparable damage may occur and the parties may not have any adequate remedy at law, and that such other party may be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it) to an Order of specific performance or mandamus to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant, obligation or other provision by such party breaching or threatening breach, and an injunction or injunctions preventing or restraining such breach or threatened breach against such party, in each case without proof of actual damages or otherwise. Each party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.
(h) Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. The parties (i) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of the state courts of New York and to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court in the County of New York for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement, (ii) agree not to commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement except in the state courts of New York or the United States District Court in the County of New York, and (iii) hereby waive, and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS, THE PURCHASED SHARES OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR THEREOF. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE TRANSACTIONS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. THIS SECTION HAS BEEN FULLY DISCUSSED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THESE PROVISIONS WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY EXCEPTIONS. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT SUCH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT SUCH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.
9
(i) Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect hereto, and supersedes all prior and all other contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations and statements, both written and oral, among the parties or any of their affiliates (for the avoidance of doubt, not including the Company) with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.
(j) Successors and Assigns. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties named herein and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. The rights and obligations of this Agreement may not be assigned by any party without the prior written consent of the Company and the Purchaser. Any purported assignment that does not comply with the provisions of this Section 8(j) shall be void.
(k) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
(l) Interpretation and Rules of Construction.
(i) When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section, Exhibit or Schedule, such reference is to an Article or Section of, or an Exhibit or Schedule to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents, titles and section headings used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.
(ii) Each party hereto agrees that it has been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waives the application of any Law providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. Without limiting anything contained in this Agreement, it is acknowledged that if any party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant.
10
(iii) Where specific language is used to clarify by example a general statement contained herein, such specific language shall not be deemed to modify, limit or restrict in any manner the construction of the general statement to which it relates (such that, for instance, “including” shall mean “including, without limitation”). The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms. Whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa. The word “if” and other words of similar import when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the phrase “and only if.” The words “herein,” “hereto,” and “hereby” and other words of similar import in this Agreement shall be deemed in each case to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or other subdivision of this Agreement. Any reference herein to “dollars” or “$” shall mean United States dollars. The term “or” shall be deemed to mean “and/or”. Any reference to any particular code section or any other Law will be interpreted to include any revision of or successor to that section regardless of how it is numbered or classified and any reference herein to an administrative or other regulatory body shall be deemed to include reference to any successor thereto. Any reference herein to any period of days will mean the relevant number of calendar days unless otherwise specified. When calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which, any act is to be done or step taken under this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period will be excluded. If the last day of such period is a non-business day, the period in question will end on the next succeeding business day. All accounting terms used herein and not expressly defined herein shall have the meanings given to them under GAAP.
(m) Survival. All representations and warranties made by the parties hereto in this Agreement or in any other agreement, certificate or instrument provided for or contemplated hereby, shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and any investigations made by or on behalf of the parties.

(o) Third Party Beneficiaries. The Placement Agents and their respective affiliates and representatives may rely on and shall be express third party beneficiaries of the representations and warranties and other provisions herein as if such representations and warranties, as applicable, were made directly to the Placement Agents.
(p) Disclosure. From and after the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, the undersigned shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information received from the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents (including the Placement Agents). Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the undersigned, without the prior written consent of the Company, will not publicly make reference to the Company or any of its affiliates, and the Company, without the prior written consent of the undersigned, will not, and will cause its representatives, including the Placement Agents and their respective representatives, not to, publicly make reference to the undersigned or its affiliates, in each case (i) in connection with this Agreement (provided, that the undersigned may disclose its entry into this Agreement and the terms thereof) or (ii) in any press release, promotional materials, media or filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), except, in each case, disclosure as the Company reasonably determines may be required by Law, regulation, or the rules and regulations of the Commission or Nasdaq, or at the request of the Commission, Nasdaq or other regulatory agency or Governmental Authority, including, without limitation in connection with (a) the Registration Rights Agreement and any filings in connection therewith, (b) the filing of this Agreement (or a form of this Agreement) with the Commission and the inclusion of the Purchaser’s name and other information on the “conformed” signature pages thereto, and (c) the filing of a registration statement on Form S-4 or a proxy statement containing the information specified in Schedule 14A, and related materials to be filed by the Company with respect to the proposed acquisition of Beckley Psytech Limited, in each case, including without limitation, disclosure of the undersigned’s identity and beneficial ownership of Common Shares and the nature of the undersigned’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under and relating to this Agreement and any other agreements entered into between the Company and the Purchaser and/or its affiliates.

2
(c) Non-Contravention. Except as may result from any facts or circumstances relating solely to the Purchaser (and in the case of clauses (iii) and (iv), except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impede the Company’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby), neither (x) the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by the Company, nor (y) the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company, will directly or indirectly (with or without notice or lapse of time):

The Warrant Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants, will be duly authorized and validly issued and shall be non-assessable (meaning that the holder of such Common Share shall not, by reason of merely being such a holder, be subject to assessment or calls by the Company or its creditors for further payment on such Common Share), and such Warrant Shares will be issued without violation of any preemptive or similar rights of any shareholder of the Company and free and clear of all liens and charges (except or those liens and changes created by the Purchaser or those created as a direct result of the Common Shares being delivered in book-entry form).

(e) Capitalization. The authorized share capital of the Company consists of 750,000,000 Common Shares, 212,143,677 of which were issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2025. As of the date of this Agreement, all of the outstanding Common Shares have been duly authorized, are fully paid and non-assessable (meaning that the holder of a Common Share shall not, by reason of merely being such a holder, be subject to assessment or calls by the Company or its creditors for further payment on such Common Share) and were issued in compliance with all applicable securities Laws.
(f) SEC Reports. As of their respective dates, none of the reports, schedules, forms and other documents required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof from January 1, 2025 through the Agreement Date (such materials being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”) contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(h) Compliance with Laws. The Company and each of its subsidiaries is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Laws to which the Company is subject, except where the failure to be in compliance with such Laws would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and its subsidiaries (taken as a whole). Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice or, to the Company’s knowledge, other communication from any Governmental Authority or other person regarding any actual or possible material violation of, or failure to comply with, any applicable Law that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and its subsidiaries (taken as a whole).

4
(j) Other Subscription Agreements. Other than the Other Subscription Agreements, the Company has not entered into any side letter or similar agreement with any Other Purchaser in connection with such Other Purchaser’s investment in the Company pursuant to its Other Subscription Agreement, and such Other Subscription Agreements have not been amended in any material respect following the date of this Agreement and reflect the same per share Purchase Price and terms that are no more favorable in any material respect to any such Other Purchaser thereunder than the terms of this Agreement.
| 5. | Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company as of the date hereof: |
|---|
(a) Organization. The Purchaser is (a) duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its place of incorporation, organization or formation and (b) has all requisite power, right and authority to conduct its business as now conducted in all material respects.
(b) Authorization. The Purchaser has all necessary power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Purchaser, will, assuming the due and valid authorization, execution and delivery of such Agreement by the Company, constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance and any other Laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and as limited by Laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.
(c) Non-Contravention. Except as may result from any facts or circumstances relating solely to the Company or its Subsidiaries, neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Purchaser, nor the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, will (with or without the passage of time or giving of notice or both) (i) conflict with or violate the organizational documents of the Purchaser, (ii) result in a breach or default under, or create in any person the right to terminate, cancel, accelerate or modify, or require any notice, consent or waiver under, conflict with or violate any Order or Material Contract to which the Purchaser is a party, by which the Purchaser is bound or by which any of the Purchaser’s properties or assets is subject, or (iii) violate any material Law or Order applicable to the Purchaser or any of the Purchaser’s properties or assets, except in each case that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Purchaser’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
(d) Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with the Purchaser in reliance upon the Purchaser’s representation under this Section 5 to the Company, which by the Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby confirms, that the Purchased Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrant to be acquired by the Purchaser will be acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s own account and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, the Purchaser further represents that the Purchaser does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any third party to sell, transfer or grant participations to any third party, with respect to any of the Purchased Shares or the Pre-Funded Warrant (including the Warrant Shares).
5
(e) Status of Purchaser. The Purchaser is an accredited investor as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and as indicated and attested to by Purchaser on Exhibit C hereto. The Purchaser has such knowledge, skill and experience in financial, investment and business matters that the Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Purchased Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrant (including the Warrant Shares). The Purchaser has had the opportunity to consult with the Purchaser’s own attorney, accountant and/or financial advisers regarding the Purchaser’s investment in the Purchased Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrant (including the Warrant Shares) and their suitability for purchase by the Purchaser, and to the extent deemed necessary by the Purchaser in its sole discretion the Purchaser has retained, at the Purchaser’s own expense, and relied upon, appropriate professional advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits, risks and consequences of this Agreement and of purchasing and owning the Purchased Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrant (including the Warrant Shares).
(f) Restricted Securities. The Purchaser understands that the Purchased Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrant are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such Purchased Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrant may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. The Warrant Shares may be subject to similar restrictions, subject to the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrant.
(g) General Solicitation; Acknowledgements Regarding Placement Agents. The Purchaser represents that neither the Purchased Shares nor the Pre-Funded Warrant were offered or sold to it by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising as such terms are used in Regulation D of the Securities Act. The Purchaser represents that it is making this investment based on the results of its own due diligence investigation of the Company, and has not relied on any information or advice furnished by or on behalf of TD Securities (USA) LLC, Leerink Partners LLC, Guggenheim Securities, LLC or Berenberg Capital Markets LLC (the “Placement Agents”) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
(h) Purchaser’s Review. The Purchaser has (i) received, reviewed, and understood the offering materials it deems necessary to make its decision to purchase the Purchased Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrant, including financial and other information made available to it in connection with the Purchased Shares, the Pre-Funded Warrant, the Company, and the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, (ii) had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company directly, as it deems necessary with respect to the financial information, the Purchased Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrant, the Company, and the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, and (iii) conducted and completed its own independent due diligence with respect to the Purchased Shares, the Pre-Funded Warrant, the Company, and the transactions contemplated by the Agreement. Based on such information as the Purchaser deemed appropriate, and without reliance upon the Placement Agents, the Purchaser has independently made its own analysis and decision to purchase the Purchased Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrant.

(d) Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended, terminated, waived or modified only with the written consent of the Company and the Purchaser. Subject to applicable Laws, any failure of the parties to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement, or condition in this Agreement may be waived by the party entitled to the benefits thereof only by a written instrument signed by the party granting such waiver. No delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any waiver on the part of any party of any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement operate as a waiver of any other right, power, or privilege under this Agreement, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege under this Agreement. Whenever this Agreement requires or permits consent by or on behalf of a party, such consent will be given in writing in a manner consistent with the requirements for a waiver of compliance as set forth in this Section 8(d). Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 8(d) shall be binding upon the Purchaser and each transferee of the Purchased Shares and the Pre-Funded Warrant, each future holder of all such securities, and the Company.
8
(e) Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto or thereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein or therein with respect to such party. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, manager, member, partner, stockholder, affiliate, agent, attorney or other representative of any party hereto or of any affiliate of any party hereto (“Non-Party Affiliates”), or any of their successors or permitted assigns, shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or affiliates) for any obligations or liabilities of any party hereto under this Agreement for any claim, action, legal suit or other legal proceeding based on, in respect of or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby; and each party hereto waives and releases all such liabilities, claims and obligations against any such Non-Party Affiliates. Non-Party Affiliates are expressly intended as third party beneficiaries of this provision of this Agreement.
(f) Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is deemed by any court to be violative of Law or public policy and therefore invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the parties.
(g) Cumulative Remedies; Specific Performance. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto shall be cumulative (and not alternative) of each other and of every other right or remedy the parties may otherwise have at law or in equity, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies. The parties to this Agreement agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any party to this Agreement of any covenant, obligation or other provision set forth in this Agreement for the benefit of any other party to this Agreement, irreparable damage may occur and the parties may not have any adequate remedy at law, and that such other party may be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it) to an Order of specific performance or mandamus to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant, obligation or other provision by such party breaching or threatening breach, and an injunction or injunctions preventing or restraining such breach or threatened breach against such party, in each case without proof of actual damages or otherwise. Each party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.
9
(h) Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. The parties (i) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of the state courts of New York and to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court in the County of New York for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement, (ii) agree not to commence any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement except in the state courts of New York or the United States District Court in the County of New York, and (iii) hereby waive, and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS, THE PURCHASED SHARES AND THE PRE-FUNDED WARRANT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR THEREOF.

THIS SECTION HAS BEEN FULLY DISCUSSED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THESE PROVISIONS WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY EXCEPTIONS. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT SUCH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT SUCH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.
(i) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Warrant Certificate and the Registration Rights Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect hereto, and supersedes all prior and all other contemporaneous agreements, understandings, negotiations and statements, both written and oral, among the parties or any of their affiliates (for the avoidance of doubt, not including the Company) with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.
(j) Successors and Assigns. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties named herein and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. The rights and obligations of this Agreement may not be assigned by any party without the prior written consent of the Company and the Purchaser.

The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. Without limiting anything contained in this Agreement, it is acknowledged that if any party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant.

Whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa. The word “if” and other words of similar import when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the phrase “and only if.” The words “herein,” “hereto,” and “hereby” and other words of similar import in this Agreement shall be deemed in each case to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or other subdivision of this Agreement. Any reference herein to “dollars” or “$” shall mean United States dollars. The term “or” shall be deemed to mean “and/or”. Any reference to any particular code section or any other Law will be interpreted to include any revision of or successor to that section regardless of how it is numbered or classified and any reference herein to an administrative or other regulatory body shall be deemed to include reference to any successor thereto. Any reference herein to any period of days will mean the relevant number of calendar days unless otherwise specified. When calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which, any act is to be done or step taken under this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period will be excluded.

All accounting terms used herein and not expressly defined herein shall have the meanings given to them under GAAP.

(o) Third Party Beneficiaries. The Placement Agents and their respective affiliates and representatives may rely on and shall be express third party beneficiaries of the representations and warranties and other provisions herein as if such representations and warranties, as applicable, were made directly to the Placement Agents.

Section 2. Exercise.
(a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the unexercised part of this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Issue Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery (whether via facsimile, electronic mail or otherwise) to the Company of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”) and delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by (A) wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company in writing or (B) cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank, in each case unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares that can be subscribed for under this Warrant in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares subscribed for. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares subscribed for and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Trading Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any transferee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof. The Holder shall not be entitled to the return or refund of all, or any portion, of any pre-paid Purchase Price under any circumstance or for any reason whatsoever.
(b) Exercise Price. The Purchase Price of this Warrant, less the aggregate Exercise Price, was pre-funded to the Company on or prior to the Issue Date. The pre-funded Purchase Price of this Warrant shall be considered to have been pre-paid on the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder and, consequently, upon the issuance of any Warrant Shares pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant, such Warrant Shares shall have been paid up in full and the Company irrevocably consents to such payment being made in a currency other than the Euro. Consequently, no additional consideration (other than the Exercise Price per Warrant Share) shall be required to be paid by the Holder to effect any exercise of this Warrant. The Holder shall not be entitled to the return or refund of all, or any portion, of such pre-paid aggregate exercise price under any circumstance or for any reason whatsoever.
(c) Cashless Exercise. This Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to (X) multiplied by the quotient obtained by dividing [(A) minus (B)] by (A), where:
| (A) | = | the average VWAP on the five Trading Days (i) immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price is both executed<br> and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof (1) on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(68) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal<br> securities laws) or during “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day or (ii) ending on (and inclusive of) the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of<br> Exercise and payment of the aggregate Exercise Price is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day; |
|---|---|---|
| (B) | = | the aggregate Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised, as adjusted hereunder; and |
| (X) | = | the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised |
If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the registered characteristics of the Warrant being exercised, including subject to Section 2(d)(viii) below. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).
(d) Mechanics of Exercise.
(i) Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall issue (whether or not through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, which shall be at the option of the Company) to the Holder the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder against, and subject to receipt by the Company of, the payment of the aggregate Exercise Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company, and the Company shall provide evidence to the Holder from the Company’s Transfer Agent of the delivery and issuance of the Warrant Shares on the books and records of such Transfer Agent to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise and (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) receipt of the aggregate Exercise Price by the Company (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable.
3
(ii) Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant , at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares underlying this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
(iii) Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date (subject to receipt of the aggregate Exercise Price for the applicable exercise (other than in the case of a cashless exercise)), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
(iv) [Reserved]
(v) No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
(vi) Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.
(vii) Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
(viii) Agreement to Comply with the Securities Act; Legend. The Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, agrees to comply in all respects with the restrictive legend requirements set forth on the face of this Warrant and further agrees that Holder shall not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or any Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise hereof except under circumstances that will not result in a violation of the Act. This Warrant and all Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant (unless registered under the Act) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the same form as set forth on the face of this Warrant with such changes as necessary to reflect that the securities are Common Shares; provided that, such Warrant or any Warrant Shares need not bear such a legend if the Company determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such Warrant Share need not bear such a legend.
4
(e) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with (i) the Holder’s Affiliates and (ii) any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Common Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Share Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any aggregation of beneficial ownership as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding Common Shares, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of Common Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Common Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Common Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding Common Shares was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e). Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 2(e) shall have no effect and shall not limit the ability to exercise (including the exercise in full) or require any advance notice of this Warrant from the time of the public announcement of (x) the entry into a merger agreement between the Company and any party other than the Holder, (y) the commencement of a tender offer by any party other than the Holder or (z) any other transaction that would be a Fundamental Transaction upon closing of such transaction. After the shareholder vote to approve such transaction or public announcement of the abandonment of such transaction, this Section 2(e) will automatically come back into force and effect and restrict the exercise according to the above terms.
Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits . If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on Common Shares (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Common Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding Common Shares into a larger number of Common Shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of Common Shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of Common Shares any shares in its share capital, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
5
(b) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above and notwithstanding the adjustments pursuant to Section 3(b) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Share Equivalents or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Common Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such Common Shares as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
(c) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, shares or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Common Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Shares are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any Common Shares as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
(d) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, in each case other than in connection with a redomiciliation of the Company to another jurisdiction that is by way of merger, conversion or similar transaction, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person , (ii) the Company or any Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Shares or 50% or more of the voting power of the common equity of the Company, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires 50% or more of the outstanding Common Shares or 50% or more of the voting power of the Common Shares of the Company (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of Common Shares of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Common Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one Common Share in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Shares are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.
6
(e) Certain Transactions. In the event of any event or transaction, including, without limitation, the redomiciliation of the Company into another jurisdiction (including by way of merger or similar transaction), the conversion of the Company to another entity form, or a holding company transaction where a holding company is interposed between the Company and its shareholders, as a result of which, in each case, the Common Shares are converted into, or are exchanged for, or represent solely the right to receive, other securities, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the consideration due upon exercise of any Warrant will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of Common Shares were instead a reference to the same number of such other securities.
(f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of Common Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
(g) Notice to Holder for Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
(h) Nasdaq. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Common Shares will be issued to the extent such issuance would violate Nasdaq Rule 5635.
Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.
(a) Transferability. This Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
(b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Issue Date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
(c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
7
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
(a) No Rights as Shareholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3 (and for the avoidance of doubt, except to the extent the Holder is required to be deemed a holder of the Warrant Shares under applicable Tax law). Without limiting the rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise,” and to receive the cash payments contemplated pursuant to Sections 2(d)(i), in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.
(b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant.
(c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Trading Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading Day.
(d) Authorized Shares.The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized but unissued share capital, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue the Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Shares may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant will and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable (meaning that a holder of a Warrant Share shall not by reason of merely being such a holder be subject to assessment or calls by the Company or its creditors for further payment on such Warrant Share) and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its articles of association or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the nominal value of any Warrant Shares above the Purchase Price per Warrant Share (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable (meaning that a holder of a Warrant Share shall not by reason of merely being such a holder be subject to assessment or calls by the Company or its creditors for further payment on such Warrant Share) Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
8
(e) Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought against a party hereto or their respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for their reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
(f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
(g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that the right to exercise this Warrant terminates on the Termination Date. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
(h) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the holders hereunder including, without limitation, any Notice of Exercise, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile or e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company, at Wallstrasse 16, 10179, Berlin, Germany, Attention: Ryan Barrett, General Counsel, Email: [***], or such other facsimile number, email address or address as the Company may specify for such purposes by notice to the holders. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile or e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to each Holder at the facsimile number, e-mail address or address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number or via e-mail at the e-mail address set forth in this Section prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date, (ii) the next Trading Day after the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number or via e-mail at the e-mail address set forth in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the second Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.
(i) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Share or as a shareholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
9
(j) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
(k) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
(l) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company, on the one hand, and the Holder of this Warrant, on the other hand.
(m) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
(n) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS
SECTION 2.01 Resale Shelf Registration.
(a) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file as promptly as practicable following, and in any event within 30 calendar days of, the earlier to occur of (i) date of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the SPA and (ii) the date of the termination of the SPA pursuant to its terms (the “Filing Deadline”), a registration statement on Form S-1 or Form S-3 to register for resale from time to time the Registrable Securities of the Holders then outstanding on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the 1933 Act or any successor rule thereto (such shelf registration, a “Shelf Registration”, and such registration statement, a “Shelf Registration Statement”), (ii) to promptly thereafter cause the Commission to declare such registration statement effective and (iii) to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement in accordance with clause (b) of this Section 2.01. The “Plan of Distribution” section of such Shelf Registration Statement shall permit all lawful means of disposition of Registrable Securities, including firm-commitment underwritten public offerings, block trades, agented transactions, sales directly into the market, purchases or sales by brokers, derivative transactions, short sales, stock loan or stock pledge transactions, hedging transactions and sales not involving a public offering by its pledgees, assignees, donees, transferees or successors-in-interest. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) thirty (30) calendar days (provided that such period may be extended to 60 calendar days if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Shelf Registration Statement) following the Filing Deadline and (ii) the 10th Business Day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the registration statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (the “Effectiveness Deadline”).
4
(b) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep any Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the 1933 Act (including, if necessary, by renewing or refiling a Shelf Registration Statement prior to expiration of the existing Shelf Registration Statement or by filing with the Commission a post-effective amendment or a supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement or any document incorporated therein by reference or by filing any other required document or otherwise supplementing or amending the Shelf Registration Statement, if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities or blue sky laws, or any rules and regulations thereunder) in order to permit the prospectus forming a part thereof to be usable by Holders, as to such Registrable Securities, until the date as of which such securities cease to be Registrable Securities.
(c) If such Shelf Registration Statement is filed on Form S-1, the Company will use reasonable best efforts as promptly as reasonably practicable to become and remain eligible to use Form S-3. In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on a continuous basis on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Holders, including a Form S-1, and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 promptly after such form is available; provided, that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the Commission.
(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in the event that the Commission requires the Company to reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included in a Shelf Registration Statement in order to allow the Company to rely on Rule 415 with respect to such Shelf Registration Statement, then the Company shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such Shelf Registration Statement to the maximum number of securities as is permitted to be registered by the Commission. In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file one or more additional Shelf Registration Statements so as to cover all of the Registrable Securities not covered by such initial Shelf Registration Statement until such time as all Registrable Securities have been included in Shelf Registration Statements that have been declared effective and the prospectuses contained therein are available for use by the Holders, in each case as soon as practicable (taking into account any position of the staff of the Commission with respect to the date on which the Commission will permit such additional Shelf Registration Statement(s) to be filed and the rules and regulations of the Commission).
SECTION 2.02 Registration Procedures. With respect to any registration which includes Registrable Securities held by a Holder, the Company will, subject to Section 2.01, promptly:
5
(a) prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement on the appropriate form prescribed by the Commission and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable thereafter and to be maintained in effect in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto (excluding any filings required to be made pursuant to the 1934 Act in the reasonable determination of the Company), the Company will furnish to the Holders covered by such registration statement copies of or drafts of all such documents proposed to be filed, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the filing thereof, which documents will be subject to the reasonable review of such Holders and their counsel. Each Holder will have the opportunity to object to any information pertaining to such Holder that is contained therein and the Company will make the corrections reasonably requested by such Holder with respect to such information two (2) Business Days prior to filing any registration statement or amendment thereto or any prospectus or any supplement thereto; provided, however, that the Company will not include on any registration statement or amendment thereto (excluding any filings required to be made pursuant to the 1934 Act in the reasonable determination of the Company) or any prospectus or any supplement thereto any Holder that objects in writing one (1) Business Days prior to such filing to its inclusion in such filing or to any description of it therein. In no event shall any Holder be identified as a statutory underwriter in the registration statement unless in response to a comment or request from the staff of the Commission or another regulatory agency; provided, however, that if the Commission requests that a Holder be identified as a statutory underwriter in the registration statement, such Holder will have an opportunity to withdraw from the registration statement;
(b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to such registration statement and any documents required to be incorporated by reference therein as may be necessary to keep the registration statement effective; cause the prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act; and comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act applicable to it with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement or supplement to the prospectus;
(c) furnish to such Holder, without charge, such number of conformed copies of the registration statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, as such Holder may reasonably request, and such number of copies of the prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) and any amendments or supplements thereto, and any documents incorporated by reference therein as the Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the securities being sold by such Holder;
(d) promptly notify such Holder, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, when the Company becomes aware of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement (as then in effect) contains any untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus or any preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading and, as promptly as practicable thereafter, prepare and file with the Commission and furnish a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the investors of such securities, such prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(e) provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the registration statement;
6
(f) use its reasonable best efforts to cause all securities included in such registration statement to be listed, by the date of the first sale of securities pursuant to such registration statement, on any national securities exchange, quotation system or other market on which the Common Shares are then listed or proposed to be listed by the Company;
(g) make generally available to its security holders an earnings statement, which need not be audited, satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of the twelve (12)-month period beginning with the first month of the Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the registration statement, which statement shall cover said twelve (12)-month period;

(i) if requested by such Holder, promptly incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as such Holder reasonably requests to be included therein; and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

(k) cooperate with such Holder if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates or DRS or other book-entry statements (in each case not bearing any restrictive legends) representing securities to be sold under the registration statement, and enable such securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as such Holder may request;
(l) to the extent the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the 1933 Act), if the Company does not pay the filing fee covering Registrable Securities at the time the automatic shelf registration statement is filed, the Company agrees to pay such fee at such time or times as the Registrable Securities are to be sold; and
7
(m) otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all other actions necessary or reasonably advisable to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) The obligation of the Company to bear the expenses described in Section 2.03(a) shall apply irrespective of whether a registration, once properly demanded, if applicable, becomes effective, is withdrawn or suspended or revoked, or is converted to another form of registration and irrespective of when any of the foregoing shall occur.
SECTION 2.04 Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder, its officers, directors, employees, stockholders, members, general and limited partners, Affiliates and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act) the Holder, including any general partner or manager of any thereof, against all losses, claims, damages, Actions, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in or incorporated by reference in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, any “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433 under the 1933 Act), any written communication undertaken in reliance on either Section 5(d) of, or Rule 163B under, the 1933 Act, and any road show, in an offering of Registrable Securities in which such Holder participates, or in any document incorporated by reference therein or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus or any preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the information conveyed to any purchaser at the time of the sale to such purchaser, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or (iii) any violation by the Company of any federal, state, common or other law, rule or regulation applicable to the Company in connection with such registration, including the 1933 Act, any state securities or “blue sky” laws or any rule or regulation thereunder in connection with such registration, except in each case insofar as the same are made in reliance on and in strict conformity with any information with respect to such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein.
8
(b) Indemnification by the Holders. In connection with any registration statement in which a Holder is participating, each such Holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to such Holder as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any registration statement or prospectus covering the Registrable Securities of such Holder and to the extent permitted by law agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act) the Company and any other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arising out of or based upon any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in the registration statement or prospectus or preliminary prospectus (in the case of the prospectus or preliminary prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is made in reliance on and in conformity with the written information or signed affidavit with respect to such Holder so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use in the registration statement or prospectus; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders and the liability of each such Holder shall be in proportion to and limited to the net amount (after deducting underwriters’ discounts and commissions) received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company and the Holders hereby acknowledge and agree that, unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by the applicable Holders, the only information furnished or to be furnished to the Company for use in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities or in any amendment, supplement or preliminary materials associated therewith are statements specifically relating to (a) the beneficial ownership of Registrable Securities by such Holder and its Affiliates and (b) the name and address of such Holder.
9
(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to such indemnified party which are in addition to or may conflict with those available to the indemnifying party with respect to such claim or unless such representation would present a conflict of interest, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. The failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability hereunder with respect to the action, except to the extent that such indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by the failure to give such notice; provided, however, that any such failure shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any other liability which it may have to any other party. No indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the written consent of such indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement unless such judgment or settlement (i) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation and (ii) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party. An indemnifying party shall not be liable under this Section 2.04 to any indemnified party regarding any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent is consented to by such indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to such indemnified party which are in addition to or may conflict with those available to any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel; provided, however, that such number of additional counsel must be reasonably acceptable to the indemnifying party.
(d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in Section 2.04(a) and Section 2.04(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party as contemplated by Section 2.04(a) and Section 2.04(b), then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, but also the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. In no event shall the liability of any selling Holder be greater in amount than the amount of the net proceeds (after deducting underwriters’ discounts and commissions) received by such Holder upon such sale or the amount for which such indemnifying party would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if the indemnification provided in Section 2.04(b) had been available. No Person guilty (as determined in a final non-appealable judgement) of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
SECTION 2.05 1934 Act Reports. The Company agrees that it shall use reasonable best efforts to file all reports required to be filed by it pursuant to the 1934 Act to the extent the Company is required to file such reports. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may deregister any class of its equity securities under Section 12 of the 1934 Act or suspend its duty to file reports with respect to any class of its securities pursuant to Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act if it is then permitted to do so pursuant to the 1934 Act and rules and regulations thereunder.
10
SECTION 2.06 Blackout Periods. Upon giving written notice to the Holders of Registrable Securities (which notice shall not, without the prior written consent of any Holder, disclose to such Holder any material non-public information), the Company shall be entitled to delay or suspend the filing or effectiveness of any registration statement or any amendment thereto or suspend the Holders’ use of any prospectus or any supplement thereto if the Company determines in good faith in its sole discretion that the filing or maintenance of a registration statement would, if not so deferred, (a) require the Company to disclose material information that would not otherwise be required to be disclosed at that time and that the accuracy of such information has yet to be determined by the Company or is the subject of an ongoing investigation or inquiry or (b) materially adversely interfere with, or jeopardize the success of, any pending or proposed material transaction, including any material debt or equity financing, any material acquisition or disposition, any material recapitalization or reorganization or any other material transaction, whether due to commercial reasons, a desire to avoid premature disclosure of information or any other reason, in each case as certified in a certificate of the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company; provided, further, that (i) the Company may not delay the filing or effectiveness of, or suspend, any registration statement for longer than forty-five (45) consecutive calendar days (such period, a “Blackout Period”) or in excess of ninety (90) days in any 12-month period, and (ii) the Company may not file any registration statement during a Blackout Period (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any similar successor forms or another form used for a purpose similar to the intended use for such forms).
SECTION 2.07 Participation in Registrations. No Holder may participate in any registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell its securities on the basis provided the “Plan of Distribution”, and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, and, as applicable, powers of attorney, underwriting agreements and other documents customarily required under the terms of such registration and provides such written information concerning itself as may be required for registration, including for inclusion in any registration statement; provided that such Holder shall be required to complete and execute such documents and provide such written information only to the extent the Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities participating in such registration shall also be required to complete and execute such documents and provide such written information.
SECTION 2.08 Rule
144. The Company will use reasonable best efforts to take such action as any Holder may reasonably request to make available adequate current public information with respect to the Company meeting the current public information requirements
of Rule 144\(c\) under the 1933 Act, and shall use reasonable best efforts to take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request to the extent required to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the
1933 Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by \(i\) Rule 144, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or \(ii\) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Promptly upon request, the Company shall deliver
to any Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and any other documents reasonably requested to remove restrictive legends or sell shares under Rule 144. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section
2.08 shall be deemed to require the Company to register any of its securities pursuant to the 1934 Act. If the Common Shares held by any Holder are, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, eligible for removal of the restrictive legend for
Rule 144 Transfers, pursuant to an effective registration statement or otherwise, then at Holder’s request, the Company shall request its transfer agent to remove any remaining restrictive legend set forth on such securities, provided that the
Company and its transfer agent have timely received from Holder and any broker-dealer in custody of such securities customary representation and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company and the transfer agent in connection
therewith. The Company shall bear all reasonable fees and expenses, including any legal opinion fees, transfer agent fees, and other out-of-pocket costs, incurred in connection with the removal of such legends.

NEW YORK, and AMSTERDAM and OXFORD, United Kingdom – 1 JULY 2025 - atai Life Sciences (NASDAQ: ATAI) (“atai”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company on a mission to develop highly effective mental health treatments to transform patient outcomes, and Beckley Psytech Limited (“Beckley Psytech”), a private clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering the next generation of mental health treatments, today jointly announced positive topline results from the eight-week, quadruple-masked, dose-finding, core stage of the Phase 2b clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of a single dose of BPL-003 (intranasal mebufotenin (5-MeO-DMT) benzoate) in patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). The study achieved its primary endpoint as well as all key secondary endpoints. At Day 29, a single 12 mg dose of BPL-003 demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in depressive symptoms, as measured by the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), with a mean decrease of 11.1 points from baseline compared to a 5.8 point reduction in the 0.3 mg comparator group (p = 0.0038). For the key secondary efficacy endpoints, a single 8 mg dose of BPL-003 also showed significant improvement at Day 29, with a mean MADRS score reduction of 12.1 points (p=0.0025 for change vs. 0.3 mg control). Notably, both the 8mg and 12mg doses of BPL-003 showed statistically significant improvements in MADRS scores as early as one day after dosing, with effects generally maintained out to Week 8.
1
Safety and efficacy results from this study support the selection of the 8 mg dose of BPL-003 for advancement into Phase 3 clinical studies. atai and Beckley Psytech plan to engage with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other applicable agencies regarding the Phase 3 trial design for patients with treatment-resistant depression in the coming months.
With these positive Phase 2b results, the pre-agreed success criteria for the proposed strategic combination between atai and Beckley Psytech, which was announced in June 2025, has been achieved and the strategic combination is now expected to progress to atai shareholder approval stage. The atai Beckley combination is expected to create a global leader in short time in-clinic psychedelic-based mental health therapies.
Cosmo Feilding Mellen, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Beckley Psytech, said: “The achievement of our primary and secondary endpoints in this study represents an important milestone in the development of BPL-003 and reinforces its potential to be a viable treatment option for patients and healthcare systems. We are particularly encouraged that a single 8 mg or 12 mg dose of BPL-003 showed rapid and durable efficacy results, favourable tolerability and a short time in-clinic, giving us important flexibility in optimising the design of future trials. Thank you to all of the patients and study partners who participated in this study - we now look forward to preparing for end-of-Phase 2 meetings with regulators and moving forward with our strategic combination with atai Life Sciences to form atai Beckley, a global leader in psychedelic-based mental health treatments.”
The Phase 2b clinical study was conducted at 38 sites across six countries and enrolled a total of 193 patients with moderate-to-severe TRD (defined as non-response to two or more prior treatments in the current depressive episode) (NCT05870540). It is the largest controlled clinical study to investigate mebufotenin and the only blinded Phase 2b study of mebufotenin to include the United States. Patients were randomized to receive a single 12 mg (n=73), 8 mg (n=46), or 0.3 mg comparator (n=74) dose of BPL-003 and were followed for eight weeks with efficacy assessments conducted by centralised, blinded raters using the MADRS at Day 2, Day 8, Day 29 and Day 57.
Key efficacy findings:
2
| ● | A single 12 mg dose of BPL-003 led to a mean reduction in MADRS score from baseline of 11.1 points compared with 5.8 points in the 0.3<br> mg comparator arm (p=0.0038) at Day 29, with the 8 mg dose arm showing a mean MADRS reduction from baseline of 12.1 points versus the 0.3mg comparator arm (p=0.0025) at<br> that same timepoint. |
|---|---|
| ● | The 8 mg and 12 mg doses of BPL-003 demonstrated equivalent efficacy suggesting the 8 mg dose may be sufficient to achieve therapeutic<br> benefit from a single dose. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | The difference in MADRS scores between the 8 mg and 12 mg doses versus the 0.3 mg dose were statistically significant in both active<br> arms from as early as Day 2, with mean MADRS reductions from baseline of 8.8 points in the 8 mg group and 8.9 points in the 12 mg group observed at that timepoint, compared to<br> a reduction from baseline of 3.9 points in the 0.3 mg group. These mean reductions from baseline increased to 11.1 points in the 8 mg group and 10.8 points in the 12 mg group at Day 8. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | A durable effect was also observed for both higher doses, with the 8 mg group showing a mean reduction of 10.8 points from baseline at<br> Day 57 and the 12 mg group showing a mean reduction of 10.2 points from baseline compared with the 0.3 mg group (5.2 point reduction). These findings highlight the potential of BPL-003 to be a durable treatment for patients with TRD. |
| --- | --- |
Key safety findings:
| ● | BPL-003 was generally well-tolerated at all doses. More than 99% of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were mild or moderate and<br> there were no drug-related serious adverse events (SAEs). |
|---|---|
| ● | Dose related increases in administration site discomfort, nausea, headache, blood pressure and anxiety suggest the 8mg dose was better<br> tolerated than the 12mg dose. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | No participants in the 8mg nor 12mg arms had any instance of treatment-emergent suicidal intent or behaviour, indicating no<br> suicide-related safety signal observed to date. |

| ● | The average time to meet readiness for discharge criteria across all arms was within two hours of dosing, with the majority of patients deemed ready for<br> discharge at the 90 minutes post-dose assessment. This, alongside the administration of BPL-003 via a previously approved nasal spray device, supports the potential of BPL-003 to fit within the existing interventional psychiatry<br> treatment paradigm that has been successfully established by Spravato®. |

| ● | The study had a low drop-out rate with 90% of patients completing the core study. |

| ● | These findings suggest a favourable tolerability profile which are consistent with earlier Phase 1 and Phase 2a studies of BPL-003, as<br> well as other psychedelic studies within the class. |

Additional data from the core study is expected to be shared through publications and medical meetings in the future.

Dr David Feifel, Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego and Director of the Kadima Neuropsychiatry Institute said: “What stands out in these results is that a single administration of BPL-003 in patients with treatment-resistant depression was generally well tolerated and produced a robust antidepressant effect that emerged rapidly and was solidly sustained for at least two months. Notably, the acute psychedelic effects were shorter than with most other psychedelics studied clinically, suggesting potential for a quicker functional recovery for patients and a reduced need for prolonged monitoring. If a treatment with this profile were available today, it would immediately become my treatment of choice for TRD.”
Follow-up in the eight-week open-label extension (OLE) stage of the study is ongoing. The OLE study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a second 12 mg dose of BPL-003 administered to patients eight weeks after dosing in the core study. 85% of eligible subjects from the core stage of the study have enrolled into the OLE. Data from the OLE study is expected in the third quarter of 2025 and will provide additional insights into the safety and tolerability of repeat dosing, as well as the durability of BPL-003’s antidepressant effect.
Commenting on the news, Srinivas Rao, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of atai, said: “These findings strengthen our confidence in the potential of BPL-003 to be a transformative psychedelic therapy, offering rapid and durable antidepressive effects with minimal in-clinic time for patients with treatment-resistant depression. We look forward to engaging with the regulators later this year to advance this innovative treatment into Phase 3 clinical development."

About BPL-003
BPL-003 is Beckley Psytech’s patent-protected, proprietary intranasal formulation of mebufotenin benzoate, administered via a nasal spray device used in a previously approved drug product. BPL-003 is designed to deliver rapid and durable effects from a single dose, with a short time in the clinic, and is being investigated as a potential therapy for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and for alcohol use disorder (AUD). BPL-003 is covered by granted US, UK and European composition-of-matter patents, with multiple further claims pending in various jurisdictions.
About treatment-resistant depression
Depression is a debilitating and life-changing condition affecting nearly 300 million people across the globe, with around 52 million people affected by the condition in Europe and the US combined. Treatment-resistant depression occurs when an individual does not respond to two or more courses of antidepressants and some studies show that it may affect up to 50% of those living with depression, meaning there is a significant unmet need for more effective treatments.
