Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously disclosed, on November 12, 2025, Legato Merger Corp. III, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Legato”), Einride AB, a limited liability company formed under the laws of Sweden (“Einride”), and Einride Cayman Sub Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Einride (“Merger Sub”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be further amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “BCA”). Pursuant to the BCA, Legato will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving the merger (“Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Merger Sub will continue as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Einride, with the shareholders of Legato becoming shareholders of Einride.

 

Amendment to BCA

 

On February 26, 2026, the parties entered into an amendment to the BCA (the “Amendment”). Pursuant to the Amendment, among other things, the Equity Value (as defined in the BCA) of Einride has been reduced from $1,800,000,000 to $1,350,000,000.

 

A copy of the Amendment is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) as Exhibit 2.1, and is incorporated herein by reference. The description of the Amendment has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is merely a summary of the Amendment and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Amendment and not intended to provide any other factual information about Legato, Einride or their respective affiliates.

 

PIPE

 

On February 26, 2026, Legato and Einride entered into subscription agreements (“Subscription Agreements”) with accredited investors (collectively, the “Investors”), pursuant to which Einride will, substantially concurrently with, and contingent upon, the consummation of the Merger, sell an aggregate of 12,235,420 American depositary shares of Einride (“ADSs”), each representing one ordinary share of Einride (“Ordinary Share”), to the Investors for an aggregate purchase price of $113.3 million (the “PIPE”). In addition, the Investors will receive warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 18,353,130 ADSs.

 

The closing of the Subscription Agreements (“Closing”) is conditioned upon, among other things, (i) all conditions precedent to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the BCA (the “Transaction”) contained in the BCA shall have been satisfied or waived and the closing of the Transaction shall be scheduled to occur concurrently with and on the same date as the date of the Closing (the “Closing Date”) and (ii) the accuracy of all representations and warranties of Einride and Legato in the Subscription Agreements (subject to certain bring-down standards).

 

Subscription Agreements

 

The Subscription Agreements contain representations, warranties and covenants of Einride, Legato and the Investors that are customary for agreements of their nature. In addition, the Subscription Agreements contain the following provisions:

 

At the Closing, certain of the initial shareholders of Legato will transfer to one Investor 553,471 of the founder shares of Legato held by them (which will be exchanged for ADSs in the Merger), and Einride will issue to another Investor an additional 1,400,000 ADSs.

 

If, on the 24 month anniversary of the Closing Date, an Investor beneficially owns at least 50% of the ADSs originally subscribed for, Einride will issue to the Investor additional Warrants (the “Additional Warrants”) entitling the Investor to purchase 50% of the number of the ADSs originally subscribed for (giving effect to any reclassification, recapitalization, share division or consolidation, exchange or readjustment of Ordinary Shares or change in the number of Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs that may have occurred during the period from the Closing Date to and including the date of issuance of the Additional Warrants).

 

1

 

 

In the event that on the 21st trading day following the six-month anniversary of the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined below), the VWAP of the ADSs is less than $10.90, each Investor will receive Warrants to purchase a number of additional ADSs equal to (i) the product of (x) the number of ADSs originally subscribed for, multiplied by (y) $10.90, divided by the Reset Price (as defined below) minus (ii) the number of ADSs originally subscribed for (the “Reset Warrants”).

 

The Additional Warrants and the Reset Warrants will contain substantially the same terms and conditions (including as to expiration date) as the Warrants, except that, in the case of the Additional Warrants, if the exercise price of the Warrants has been adjusted to the Measurement Price (as defined below), the initial exercise price of the Additional Warrants shall be the same as the exercise price of the Warrants after giving effect to such adjustment, and in the case of the Reset Warrants, the initial exercise price will be the Reset Price. The “Reset Price” is the greater of (x) the VWAP of the ADSs on the 21st trading day following the six-month anniversary of the effective date of the Registration Statement and (y) $5.00.

 

At the Investor’s election, the number of ADSs subscribed for may be reduced on a one-for-one basis by up to the aggregate number of (i) ordinary shares of Legato purchased by the Investor for its own account pursuant to open-market transactions with third parties prior to the record date for the Legato shareholder meeting at which the Transactions will be considered, and (ii) ordinary shares of Legato the Investor beneficially owns as of the date of the Subscription Agreements, in each case, that are held through the Closing Date.

 

Einride has agreed that on or prior to the Closing Date, and no later than 30 days thereafter, Einride will endeavor to file with the SEC (at its sole cost and expense) a registration statement on Form F-1 (the “Registration Statement”) registering the resale of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Subscription Agreement), and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) 60 calendar days after its filing (or 90 calendar days after its filing if the SEC notifies Einride that it will “review” the Registration Statement) and (ii) 5 business days after Einride is notified by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review, subject to customary liquidated damages in the event Einride is unable to meet the filing deadline.

 

From the date of the Subscription Agreements until six months from the effective date of the Registration Statement, Einride will not, without the prior written consent of the Investors who purchased at least a majority of the Ordinary Shares under the Subscription Agreements, issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance of any Ordinary Shares, ADSs, or any securities of Einride that would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time ADSs or Ordinary Shares, in each case other than certain exempt issuances.

 

Warrants

 

The Warrants are exercisable for ADSs (“Warrant ADSs”) at any time after the date of their issuance and expire five years after the date of their issuance. The exercise price per Warrant ADS under the Warrants is $10.90, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Warrant and described below. The Warrants may be exercised on a cashless “net issuance” basis.

 

The Warrants are subject to a beneficial ownership limitation, at the election of the holder. If the election is made, Einride will not effect any exercise of the Warrants, and a holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of the Warrants, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise the holder (together with the holder’s affiliates, and anyone acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.9%, 9.9%, 19.9% (or such other amount as the holder may specify) of the ADSs.

 

2

 

 

The exercise price of the Warrants is subject to adjustment if Einride (i) subdivides or combines (including by way of a reverse share split) the outstanding Ordinary Shares, (ii) issues by reclassification of Ordinary Shares into any capital shares of Einride, (iii) changes the number of Ordinary Shares represented by an ADS, (iv) issues any Ordinary Shares credited as fully paid to shareholders by way of capitalization of profits or reserves, (v) issues or sells pro rata to the record holders of the Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) any rights, options or warrants entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs), or (vi) declares or makes any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Ordinary Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise.

 

The exercise price of the Warrants also is subject to a one-time adjustment based on the subsequent market price. If, on the 21st trading day following the six-month anniversary of the effective date of the Registration Statement, the VWAP of the ADSs for the 20 trading day period commencing on the date that is six months after the effective date of the Registration Statement (the “Measurement Price”) is less than the exercise price then in effect, then the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Measurement Price and (ii) $5.00.

 

In addition, the exercise price of the Warrants is subject to adjustment for subsequent equity issuances. If and whenever during the period commencing on the date of the Subscription Agreements and ending on the expiration date of the Warrants, Einride issues or sells, or is deemed to have issued or sold, any Ordinary Shares (subject to certain exceptions) for proceeds per ADS less than the exercise price then in effect (where the aggregate amount of proceeds received by Einride, together with all prior issuances and sales conducted for the purpose of raising capital by Einride on or after the date of the Subscription Agreements that were excluded from this adjustment by this condition, exceeds $500,000), then immediately after such issuance, the exercise price then in effect shall be reduced to the amount of such proceeds per ADS.

 

Simultaneously with any adjustment to the exercise price, the number of Warrant ADSs will be increased or decreased proportionately so that the aggregate exercise price remains unchanged.

 

If a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Warrants) occurs, then, upon any subsequent exercise of a Warrant, the holder will have the right to receive, for each Warrant ADS 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 the beneficial ownership limitation), the number of Ordinary Shares of the successor or acquiring corporation or of Einride, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Warrant ADSs for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to the beneficial ownership limitation).

 

Additional Information

 

The ADSs and Warrants, and the Warrant ADSs, were offered and sold to the Investors in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), based on the fact that the sale was made without any general solicitation or advertising and based on representations that each Investor (a) was a qualified institutional investor or an institutional accredited investor, (b) was not acquiring the securities with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act, (c) understood that the offer and sale of the shares was not registered and acknowledged and agreed the shares generally may not be disposed of absent a registration statement under the Securities Act, subject to certain exceptions, including a disposition pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements, and (d) has received, and has had the opportunity to review and understand such financials and other information as the Investor deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the securities.

 

Forms of the Subscription Agreement and Warrant are filed with this Current Report as Exhibits 10.1 and 4.1, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of Subscription Agreements and Warrants is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

 

Neither Legato, Einride nor any of their respective affiliates makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K. This Current Report on Form 8-K is not intended to be all-inclusive or to contain all the information that a person may desire in considering the proposed Transactions discussed herein. It is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision or any other decision in respect of the proposed Transactions.

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibits filed or furnished herewith include certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the proposed transaction between Legato and Einride, including statements regarding the benefits of the transaction, Einride’s or Legato’s expectations with respect to future performance, the addressable market for Einride’s solutions and services, capitalization of Einride after giving effect to the transaction, the percentage of Einride’s and Legato’s shareholders’ ownership interest in the equity of the combined company following the closing of the transaction, Einride’s expected investments in the U.S. market, the anticipated timing of the Transactions, the business of Einride and the markets in which it operates. Legato’s and Einride’s actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “aspire,” “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “believe(s),” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “future,” “opportunity,” “strategy,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.

 

Forward-looking statements are their managements’ current predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions available to Einride and Legato, and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Any such expectations and assumptions, whether or not identified in this Current Report on Form 8-K. should be regarded as preliminary and for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Most of these factors are outside Legato’s and Einride’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: the risk that the benefits of the Merger may not be realized; the risk that the Merger may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of Legato’s securities; the amount of redemption requests made by Legato public shareholders and the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Merger, including the failure of Legato’s shareholders to approve and adopt the Merger; risks related to the scaling of Einride’s business and the timing of expected business milestones; the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the Merger; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the BCA; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be initiated following announcement of the Merger; the combined company’s continued

listing on the Exchange; the risk that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations of Einride as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Merger; the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the transaction, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; costs related to the Merger; risks associated with changes in applicable laws or regulations applicable to Einride’s solutions and services and Einride’s international operations; the possibility that the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, geopolitical, business, and/or competitive factors; supply shortages in the materials necessary for the production of Einride’s solutions; negative perceptions or publicity of Einride; risks related to working with third-party manufacturers for key components of Einride’s solutions; the termination or suspension of any of Einride’s contracts or the reduction in counterparty spending; the ability of Einride or the combined company to issue equity or equity-linked securities in connection with the proposed business combination or in the future; the impact of adverse public health developments; and other risks and uncertainties that will be detailed in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (as defined below) and as indicated from time to time in Legato’s filings with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements.

 

Legato and Einride caution that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Legato and Einride caution readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Neither Legato nor Einride undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

 

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of Einride’s registration statement on Form F-4 to be filed by Einride with the SEC (the “Form F-4”), and other documents filed by Einride and/or Legato from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and all forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K are qualified by these cautionary statements. Einride and Legato assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except to the extent required by applicable law. Neither Einride nor Legato gives any assurance that either Einride or Legato will achieve its expectations. The inclusion of any statement in this Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an admission by Einride or Legato or any other person that the events or circumstances described in such statement are material.

Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency that the Company may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company), as applicable, of a duly executed PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). Not later than the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(i) herein) following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver to the Company the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the exercise on a net-issuance basis procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is available and 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. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant ADSs available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant ADSs purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant ADSs purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant ADSs purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, 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 ADSs hereunder, the number of Warrant ADSs available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

(b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per Warrant ADS under this Warrant shall be $10.90, subject to adjustment hereunder as set forth in Section 3 (the “Exercise Price”), but in each case can in no event be less than the Par Value (Per ADS Basis). For the avoidance of doubt, the Exercise Price when expressed on a per Ordinary Share basis can in no event be less than the par value of one Ordinary Share.

 

(c) Net-Issuance Exercise. This Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time on a “net-issuance” basis (which will entail that the cash payment to be made is limited to the Par Value (per ADS Basis) of each Warrant ADS purchased) in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant ADSs determined as follows:

 

X = ((A—B) x C) / A

 

where:

 

(X) = the number of Warrant ADSs to be issued to the Holder on a net-issuance basis;

 

2

 

 

(A) = as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day, (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day or (3) executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day), or (ii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;

 

(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder, minus the Par Value (per ADS Basis); and

 

(C) = the number of Warrant ADSs that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than on a net-issuance basis.

 

The number of Warrant ADSs that would be surrendered by the Holder in connection with any exercise on a net-issuance basis would be equal to C—X.

 

If Warrant ADSs are issued on a net-issuance basis, the parties acknowledge and agree that by virtue of the Holder having to make payment to the Company of the Par Value (per ADS Basis) in cash, the exemption from registration provided under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act shall not be available to the Holder, such that the Warrant ADSs issued thereby will be “restricted securities” and the holding period of the Warrant ADSs being issued may not be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised on a net-issuance basis pursuant to this Section 2(c).

(d) Mechanics of Exercise.

 

(i) Delivery of Warrant ADSs Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause Ordinary Shares represented by the Warrant ADSs purchased hereunder to be deposited with the Depositary and thereupon the Warrant ADSs to be transmitted by the Depositary to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system if the Depositary is then a participant in such system and there is an effective resale registration statement permitting the resale of the Warrant ADSs by the Holder and the Holder is contemporaneously reselling such Warrant ADSs pursuant to such resale registration statement, and otherwise by physical delivery by the Depositary of a certificate, or reasonable evidence of issuance by book entry of ownership of the Warrant ADSs registered on the books of the Depositary in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant ADSs to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the later of (i) the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, and (ii) seven (7) Trading Days after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company (such date, the “Warrant ADS Delivery Date”); provided, however, in any event, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver Ordinary Shares represented by the Warrant ADSs purchased hereunder for deposit with the Depositary until it has received the aggregate Exercise Price for such Warrant ADSs. The Company agrees to maintain a depositary bank for its ADSs that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the ADSs as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Depositary’s rights and obligations with respect to the Company and the ADSs (including the Warrant ADSs) shall be as set forth in, and subject to, the terms and provisions of the Deposit Agreement and in no event shall this Warrant be deemed or construed to impose any additional obligations or liabilities on the Depositary.

 

(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 certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant ADSs, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant ADSs called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

 

(iii) Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to deposit with the Depositary the Ordinary Shares represented by the Warrant ADSs purchased hereunder and to cause the Depositary to transmit to the Holder the Warrant ADSs pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant ADS Delivery Date (subject to receipt of the aggregate Exercise Price for the applicable exercise (or, in the case of exercise on a net-issuance basis, the aggregate Par Value (per ADS Basis) of the Warrant ADSs being purchased), then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise prior to the delivery of the Warrant ADSs.

 

4

 

 

(iv) No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional Warrant ADSs or scrip representing fractional Warrant ADSs shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a Warrant ADS which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price.

 

(v) Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant ADSs shall be made without charge to the Holder for any capital, stamp, issue, financial transaction and registration or transfer tax or other incidental expense payable in Sweden, or in any other jurisdiction in which the Company may be domiciled or resident or to whose taxing jurisdiction it may be generally subject, in respect of the issuance, transfer or delivery of such Warrant ADSs (or the Ordinary Shares represented thereby), all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant ADSs shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder (“Specified Taxes”); provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant ADSs are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Depositary 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 ADSs pursuant to the terms of this Warrant. If the Company shall fail to pay any Specified Taxes, the Holder shall be entitled to tender and pay the same and the Company covenants to reimburse and indemnify the Holder in respect of any payment thereof and any penalties payable in respect thereof.

 

(e) Entitlement in respect of Ordinary Shares represented by Warrant ADSs. Warrant ADSs issued and delivered on exercise of this Warrant will be fully paid and will in all respects rank pari passu with the other ADSs issued and outstanding on the relevant Exercise Date, and the Holder shall be entitled to all rights, distributions or payments in respect of ADSs from the record date or other due date for the establishment of entitlement for which falls on or after the relevant Exercise Date, except in any such case for any right excluded by mandatory provisions of applicable law. The Holder shall not be entitled to any rights, distributions or payments in respect of ADSs the record date or other due date for the establishment of entitlement for which falls prior to the date when the Warrant ADSs are issued and delivered to the Holder by the Depositary.

 

(f) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Holder may notify the Company in writing in the event it elects to be subject to the provisions contained in this Section 2(f); however, the Holder shall not be subject to this Section 2(f) unless he, she or it makes such election. If the election is made, 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

 

5

 

 

  Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own in excess of 4.9%, 9.9%, 19.9% (or such other amount as the Holder may specify) (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”) of the Warrant ADSs. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Warrant ADSs beneficially owned by the Holder, its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Warrant ADSs issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Warrant ADSs 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 unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Ordinary Share Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein that are 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(f), 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 (other than as it relates to a Holder relying on the number of Ordinary Shares, including in the form of ADSs, issued and outstanding as provided by the Company pursuant to this Section). To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(f) 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 up to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation 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 good faith 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 and shall have no liability for exercises of this Warrant that are not in compliance with the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination and shall have no liability for exercises of the Warrant that are not in compliance with the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. For purposes of this Section 2(f), in determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares (including in the form of ADSs), a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares (including in the form of ADSs) 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

 

6

 

 

  more recent written notice by the Company setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two (2) Trading Days confirm in writing to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares (including in the form of ADSs) then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares (including in the form of ADSs) 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 Ordinary Shares (including in the form of ADSs) was reported. By written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation applicable to the Holder, provided, however, that any such increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the sixty-first (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(f) 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. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

 

Section 3. Certain Adjustments.

 

(a) Subdivision, consolidation, reclassification or change in the number of Ordinary Shares represented by an ADS. If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) subdivides outstanding Ordinary Shares into a larger number of shares, (ii) combines (including by way of a reverse share split) outstanding Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares, (iii) issues by reclassification of Ordinary Shares into any capital shares of the Company or (iv) changes the number of Ordinary Shares represented by an ADS, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price by the following fraction:

 

(A/B) x (C/D)

 

where:

 

  A

is the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately before such subdivision, consolidation, reclassification or such change, as the case may be;

     
  B

is the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately after such subdivision, consolidation, reclassification or such change, as the case may be;

     
  C

is the number of Ordinary Shares represented by an ADS following or as a result or consequence of such subdivision, consolidation, reclassification or such change, as the case may be; and

 

7

 

 

  D is the number of Ordinary Shares represented by an ADS following or immediately prior to such subdivision, consolidation, reclassification or such change, as the case may be.

 

The number of Warrant ADSs 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 effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination, re-classification or change in the number of Ordinary Shares represented by an ADS.

 

(b) Capitalization of profits or reserves. If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding issues any Ordinary Shares credited as fully paid to shareholders by way of capitalization of profits or reserves, including any share premium account or capital redemption reserve, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price by the following fraction:

 

(A/B) x (C/D)

 

where:

 

  A

is the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately before such issuance;

     
  B

is the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately after such issuance;

     
  C

is the number of Ordinary Shares represented by an ADS following or as a result or consequence of such issuance; and

     
  D is the number of Ordinary Shares represented by an ADS immediately prior to such issuance.

 

(c) VWAP Reset. If on the twenty-first trading day following the date that is six months after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (as defined in the Subscription Agreement pursuant to which this Warrant is issued), the VWAP of the ADSs for the twenty Trading Day period commencing on the date that is six months after the effective date of the Registration Statement (the “Measurement Price”) is less than the Exercise Price then in effect, then the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the greater of (i) the Measurement Price and (ii) $5.00.

 

8

 

 

(d) Adjustment Upon Issuance or Deemed Issuance of Ordinary Shares. If and whenever during the period commencing on February 26, 2026 and ending on the Termination Date the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 3(d) is deemed to have issued or sold, any Ordinary Shares (including the issuance or sale of Ordinary Shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding Ordinary Shares issued or sold, or deemed to have been issued or sold, by the Company in connection with any Exempt Issuance) for Proceeds (Per ADS Basis) (the “New Issuance Price”) less than the Exercise Price then in effect (each such issue, sale or deemed issuance or sale, a “Dilutive Issuance”), where the aggregate amount of Proceeds received by the Company, together with all prior issuances and sales conducted for the purpose of raising capital by the Company on or after February 26, 2026 that were excluded from this Section 3(d) by this clause, exceeds $500,000, then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price.

 

For purposes of determining the adjusted Exercise Price under this Section 3(d), the following shall be applicable:

 

(i) Options and Convertible Securities. The consideration per share received by the Company for Ordinary Shares deemed to have been issued pursuant to Section 3(d)(ii), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing:

 

(1) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issue of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Company upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, by

 

(2) the maximum number of Ordinary Shares (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 3(d)(ii) upon the issuance of such Options or Convertible Securities.

 

(ii) Deemed Issuance of Ordinary Shares Subject to Options and Convertible Securities.

 

(1) If the Company at any time or from time to time shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of Ordinary Shares (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility or exchangeability but without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date.

 

9

 

 

(2) If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares increases or decreases at any time (other than (x) proportional changes in conversion or exercise prices, as applicable, in connection with an event referred to in Section 3(a) above and (y) automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security which are not more favorable to the holder thereof than the anti-dilution and similar provisions set forth herein), the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price, which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 3(d)(ii)(2), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Initial Exercise Date are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Ordinary Shares deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 3(d)(ii)(2) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.

 

(iii) Calculation of Consideration Received.

 

(1) In case one or more Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction, (x) each such Option will be deemed to have been issued for the Option Value of such Option and (y) the other securities issued or sold in such integrated transaction shall be deemed to have been issued or sold for the difference of (I) the aggregate consideration received by the Company less any consideration paid or payable by the Company pursuant to the terms of such other securities of the Company, less (II) the Option Value of each such Options; provided, that, no Ordinary Share shall be deemed to have been issued for less than a fraction of the aggregate consideration received (excluding the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such consideration) payable to the Company upon the exercise of any such Options, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities) equal to (A) one divided by (2) the total number of Ordinary Shares issued or issuable in the integrated transaction (including the number of shares underlying any Options and Convertible Securities).

 

10

 

 

(2) If any Ordinary Shares, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the closing sale price of such publicly traded securities on the date of receipt. If any Ordinary Shares, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Ordinary Shares, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the holders of a majority in interest of this Warrant and the other ordinary share purchase warrants with substantially the same terms as this Warrant, with an initial exercise price of $10.90 per share, issued on the Initial Exercise Date, and then outstanding. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the holders of a majority in interest of this Warrant and the other ordinary share purchase warrants, with an initial exercise price of $10.90 per share, issued on the Initial Exercise Date, and then outstanding. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.

 

(iv) Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Ordinary Shares for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Ordinary Shares, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issuance or sale of the Ordinary Shares deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.

 

11

 

 

(v) Expiration or Termination of Options or Convertible Securities. Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Securities (or portion thereof) which resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to the terms of Section 3(d), the Exercise Price shall be readjusted to such Exercise Price as would have obtained had such Option or Convertible Securities (or portion thereof) never been issued.

 

(e) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time after the Initial Exercise Date the Company grants, issues or sells pro rata to the record holders of the Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) any rights, options or warrants entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) (“Purchase Rights”) at a price per Ordinary Share that is less than the VWAP of the ADSs (divided by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by one ADS) for the twenty Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such Purchase Rights, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

 

EP1 = EP0 x (OS0 + Y) / (OS0 + X)

 

where:

 

  EP0

is the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for the issuance of such Purchase Rights;

     
  EP1

is the Exercise Price in effect immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for the issuance of such Purchase Rights;

     
  OS0

is the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date for the issuance of such Purchase Rights;

     
  X

is the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) deliverable pursuant to such Purchase Rights; and

     
  Y is the number of Ordinary Shares equal to (i) the aggregate price payable to exercise such Purchase Rights, divided by (ii) the quotient of (a) the VWAP for the ADSs for the twenty Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such Purchase Rights divided by (b) the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by an ADS.

 

12

 

 

Any adjustment to the Exercise Price made under this Section 3(e) shall be made successively whenever any such Purchase Rights are issued and shall become effective immediately after the close of business on the Record Date for the issuance of such Purchase Rights. To the extent that Ordinary Shares or ADSs are not delivered after the expiration of such Purchase Rights, the Exercise Price shall be increased to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect had the decrease with respect to the issuance of such Purchase Rights been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of Ordinary Shares actually delivered (directly or in the form of ADSs). If such Purchase Rights are not so issued, the Exercise Price shall be increased to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect if the Record Date for the issuance of such Purchase Rights had not occurred.

 

For purposes of this Section 3(e), in determining whether any Purchase Rights entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares (directly or in the form of ADSs) at a price per Ordinary Share that is less than the VWAP of the ADSs (divided by the number of Ordinary Shares then represented by one ADS) for the twenty Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such Purchase Rights, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Ordinary Shares or ADSs, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such Purchase Rights and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.

 

(f) Adjustment for Cash Dividends. If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Ordinary 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 or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price by the following fraction:

 

A - B

A

 

where:

 

  A

is the VWAP of one Warrant ADS on the Ex-Date in respect of such Distribution;

     
  B is the portion of the Fair Market Value of the Distribution attributable to one Warrant ADS, with such portion being determined by dividing the Fair Market Value of the Distribution by the number of Ordinary Shares (expressed on a per ADS basis) entitled to receive the Distribution).

 

13

 

 

(g) Fundamental Transaction.

 

(i) If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (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 (and all of its subsidiaries, taken as a whole), 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 Ordinary 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 Ordinary Shares, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Ordinary Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Ordinary Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a share subdivision, consolidation or reclassification of Ordinary Shares covered by Section 3(a)), or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a share 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 Ordinary Shares (not including any Ordinary Shares held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such share or share purchase agreement or other business combination) or 50% or more of the voting power of the common equity 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 ADS 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 Ordinary 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 Warrant ADSs 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).

20

 

 

(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. 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.

(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.

III, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “SPAC”) (solely with respect to Sections 12 and 14 hereof), and the undersigned (the “Investor”). The Subscription Agreement is entered into in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, dated November 12, 2025 (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, the SPAC, and the other parties thereto. The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are referred to in this Subscription Agreement as the “Transaction” and the purchase and sale of the Securities (as defined below) pursuant to this Subscription Agreement are referred to in this Subscription Agreement as the “Subscription Transaction.” The Issuer may enter into one or more subscription agreements (the “Other Subscription Agreements” and together with this Subscription Agreement, the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain other investors (the “Other Investors,” and together with the Investor, the “Investors”).

 

As set forth on the signature page to this Subscription Agreement, the aggregate purchase price to be paid by the Investor for the subscribed ADSs representing Ordinary Shares (as such terms are defined below) and Warrants (as defined below) is referred to in this Subscription Agreement as the “Subscription Amount.”

 

In consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, set forth in this Subscription Agreement, and intending to be legally bound under this Subscription Agreement, each of the Investor and the Issuer acknowledges and agrees as follows:

 

1. Subscription.

 

(a) Subject to Section 13, the Investor irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Issuer the number of ADSs representing Ordinary Shares and Warrants set forth on the signature page to this Subscription Agreement, and the Issuer irrevocably agrees to issue and sell to the Investor such ADSs representing Ordinary Shares and such Warrants, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions provided for in this Subscription Agreement.

 

(b) If on the 24th month anniversary of the Closing Date (as defined below) the Investor certifies in writing to the Issuer that it beneficially owns at least [●] ADSs representing Ordinary Shares, the Issuer shall issue to the Investor additional warrants (the “Additional Warrants”) entitling the Investor to receive from the Issuer additional [●] ADSs representing Ordinary Shares (giving effect to any reclassification, recapitalization, share division or consolidation, exchange or readjustment of Ordinary Shares or change in the number of Ordinary Shares represented by ADSs that may have occurred during the period from the Closing to and including the date of issuance of the Additional Warrants), such Additional Warrants to have the same termination date as the Termination Date (as defined in the Warrant Certificate) of, and to contain substantially the same terms and conditions as, the Warrants as set forth in the Warrant Certificate, provided that if the Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrant Certificate) of the Warrants has been adjusted in accordance with Section 3(c) of the Warrant Certificate, the initial exercise price of the Additional Warrants shall be the same as the Exercise Price after giving effect to such adjustment.

 

(c) Prior to the Closing (as defined below), the Issuer shall cause a sponsored American depositary share facility for the Issuer’s Ordinary Shares (the “ADS Facility”) to be established with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (such bank or any successor depositary bank, the “Depositary Bank”) for the purpose of issuing the ADSs representing Ordinary Shares and Warrant ADSs hereunder, including specifically and without limitation entering into a customary deposit agreement with the Depositary Bank (the “Deposit Agreement”) establishing the ADS Facility, to be effective as of the Closing.

 

(d) In the event that on the 21st Trading Day following the six-month anniversary of the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined below), the VWAP of the ADSs is less than USD 10.90, the Investor shall receive, a number of additional warrants equal to (i) the product of (x) [●] times (y) USD 10.90 divided by the Reset Price minus (ii) [●] (such warrants, the “Reset Warrants”). The Reset Warrants shall have the same termination date as the Termination Date of, and contain substantially the same terms and conditions as, the Warrants as set forth in the Warrant Certificate, provided that the Reset Warrants shall be issued with an initial exercise price equal to the Reset Price, where “Reset Price” means the greater of (x) the VWAP of the ADSs on the 21st Trading Day following the six-month anniversary of the effective date of the Registration Statement or (y) USD 5.00.

 

 

 

 

2. Closing.

 

(a) The closing of the Subscription Transaction (the “Closing”) is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction. The Closing shall occur on the date of, and substantially concurrently with and conditioned upon the effectiveness of, the Transaction upon (a) satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Section 2 and in Section 3 below and (b) delivery of written notice from (or on behalf of) the Issuer to the Investor (the “Closing Notice”) that the Issuer reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Transaction to be satisfied or waived on a date that is not less than five Business Days from the date on which the Closing Notice is delivered to the Investor.

 

(b) At least three Business Days prior to the closing date specified in the Closing Notice (the “Closing Date”), the Investor shall deliver to the Issuer: (i) the Subscription Amount by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account(s) specified by the Issuer in the Closing Notice, thereby subscribing for the ADSs representing the Ordinary Shares and Warrants, to be held in escrow until the Closing; and (ii) any other information that is reasonably requested in the Closing Notice in order for the Issuer to issue to the Investor the ADSs representing the Ordinary Shares and Warrants. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such information shall include the legal name of the person in whose name such ADSs representing the Ordinary Shares and Warrants are to be issued and a duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8, as applicable.

 

(c) On the Closing Date:

 

(i) the Issuer shall submit relevant and complete forms and documentation to register the Ordinary Shares and Warrants with the Swedish Companies Registration Office. As soon as possible following the registration by the Swedish Companies Registration Office, the Issuer shall cause the number of Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs as set forth on the signature page to this Subscription Agreement to be deposited with the Depositary Bank’s custodian in order for the Depositary Bank to credit to the Investor the number of ADSs representing the Ordinary Shares as set forth on the signature page to this Subscription Agreement;

(iii) the Issuer shall issue to the Investor Warrants registered in the name of the Investor to purchase up to [●] ADSs representing Ordinary Shares with an exercise price equal to USD 10.90 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth therein; and

 

Subsequently, and following the registration by the Swedish Companies Registration Office, the Issuer shall cause the Ordinary Shares underlying the purchased ADSs to be registered in book entry form, free and clear of any liens, encumbrances or other restrictions (other than those arising under this Subscription Agreement or applicable securities laws), in the name of the Depositary Bank (or the Depositary Bank’s nominee or custodian) on the Issuer’s share register. The Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide a copy of the records of the Issuer’s Share Registrar showing the Depositary Bank (or such nominee or custodian) as the owner of such Ordinary Shares as soon as practically possible following the Closing Date.

 

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer’s obligation to issue the ADSs representing the Ordinary Shares and Warrants to the Investor is contingent upon the Issuer having received the Subscription Amount in full in accordance with this Section 2. If the Closing does not occur within three (3) Business Days following the Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, the Issuer shall promptly (but not later than one (1) Business Day thereafter) return the Subscription Amount in full to the Investor by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Investor.

If the Investor is an individual, the signatory has legal competence and Investor has the capacity to execute this Subscription Agreement. If the Investor is not an individual, the signatory has been duly authorized to execute this Subscription Agreement. Assuming that this Subscription Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Issuer, this Subscription Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, or (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

 

(s) The Investor is not: (i) a person or entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC (“OFAC List”), or a person or entity prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program; (ii) owned, directly or indirectly, or controlled by, or acting on behalf of, one or more persons that are named on the OFAC List; (iii) organized, incorporated, established, located, resident or born in, or a citizen, national or the government, including any political subdivision, agency or instrumentality thereof, of, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, the Crimea region of Ukraine, the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic, the so-called Luhansk People Republic or any other country or territory embargoed or subject to substantial trade restrictions by the United States; (iv) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R.

(the “BSA”), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”), and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), to the extent required, the Investor maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. To the extent required, the Investor maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with OFAC-administered sanctions programs, including for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List. To the extent required by applicable law, the Investor maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by the Investor and used to purchase the Securities were legally derived and were not obtained, directly or indirectly, from a Prohibited Investor.

 

(t) No disclosure or offering document has been prepared by the Placement Agents in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities.

 

(u) None of the Placement Agents, nor any of their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing, have made any independent investigation with respect to the Issuer or its subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, the SPAC or the Securities or the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of any information supplied to the Investor by the Issuer or the SPAC.

(y) The Investor is not currently (and at all times through Closing will refrain from being or becoming) a member of a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act or any successor provision) acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of equity securities of the Issuer or the SPAC (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act), other than a group consisting solely of the Investor and its affiliates.

 

(z) If the Investor is or is acting on behalf of: (i) an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”); (ii) a plan, an individual retirement account or other arrangement that is subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); (iii) an entity whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement described in clauses (i) and (ii) (each, an “ERISA Plan”); or (iv) an employee benefit plan that is a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA), a non-U.S. plan (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) or other plan that is not subject to the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) but may be subject to provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code (collectively, “Similar Laws,” and together with ERISA Plans, “Plans”), the Investor represents and warrants that (A) none of the Issuer, the SPAC or any of their respective affiliates has provided investment advice or has otherwise acted as the Plan’s fiduciary, with respect to its decision to acquire and hold the Securities; (B) none of the parties to the Transaction is or shall at any time be the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision in connection with the Investor’s investment in the Securities; and (C) its purchase of the Securities will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or any applicable Similar Law.

 

7. Registration Rights.

 

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, and in no event later than 30 calendar days after the Closing Date (such deadline, the “Filing Deadline”), the Issuer will endeavor to file with the SEC (at its sole cost and expense) a registration statement on Form F-1 registering the resale of the Registrable Securities (the “Registration Statement”). If the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities is not filed with the SEC on or prior to the Filing Deadline, the Issuer will make pro rata payments to the Investor, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to 1% of the aggregate amount paid pursuant to this Subscription Agreement by the Investor for such Registrable Securities then held by the Investor for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following the Filing Deadline for which no Registration Statement is filed with respect to the Registrable Securities. Such payments shall constitute the Investor’s exclusive monetary remedy for such events, but shall not affect the right of the Investor to seek injunctive relief. Such payments shall be made to the Investor in cash no later than ten (10) Business Days after the end of each such 30-day period (the “Payment Date”). Interest shall accrue at the rate of 1% per month on any such liquidated damages payments that shall not be paid by the Payment Date until such amount is paid in full. The Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) sixty (60) calendar days after the filing thereof (or ninety (90) calendar days after the filing thereof if the SEC notifies the Issuer that it will “review” the Registration Statement) and (ii) five (5) Business Days after the Issuer is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Date”). The Issuer may amend the Registration Statement so as to convert the Registration Statement to a Registration Statement on Form F-3 at such time after the Issuer becomes eligible to use such Form F-3. The Issuer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide a draft of the Registration Statement to the Investor for review at least two (2) Business Days in advance of filing the Registration Statement. In no event shall the Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC requires that the Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Investor will have the option, in its sole and absolute discretion, to either (i) have the opportunity to cause the Issuer to withdraw from the Registration Statement upon its prompt written request to the Issuer, in which case the Issuer’s obligation to register the Shares will be deemed satisfied or (ii) be included as such in the Registration Statement. The Issuer’s obligations to include the Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares issued in exchange therefor) for resale in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Investor furnishing in writing to the Issuer such information regarding the Investor, the securities of the Issuer held by the Investor and the intended method of disposition of such Shares, which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings, as shall be reasonably requested by the Issuer to effect the registration of such Shares. Investor shall also execute documents in connection with such registration as the Issuer may reasonably request that are customary of a selling shareholder in similar situations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement,

 

15

 

 

in connection with the obligations of the Issuer under this Section 7, the Investor shall not be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Shares. Upon notification by the SEC that any Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, within one (1) Business Day thereafter, the Issuer shall file the final prospectus under Rule 424 of the Securities Act. The Issuer agrees to cause such Registration Statement, or another shelf registration statement that includes the Shares to be sold pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, to remain effective until the earliest of: (i) the second anniversary of the Effectiveness Date of the Registration Statement registering all Shares for resale by the Investor; (ii) the date on which the Investor ceases to hold any Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement; or (iii) the first date on which the Investor is able to sell all of its Shares issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without volume or manner of sale limitations. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Issuer to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Deadline or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Issuer of its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statement set forth in this Section 7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents the Issuer from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under a Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 under the Securities Act for the resale of the Shares pursuant to this Section 7 by the applicable shareholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale the number of Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Shares as is permitted to be registered by the SEC. In such event, the number of Shares to be registered for each selling shareholder named in such Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders. In the event the Issuer amends the Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing, the Issuer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, as promptly as allowed by the SEC, one or more registration statements to register the resale of those Shares that were not registered on the initial Registration Statement, as so amended.

 

(b) For as long as the Investor holds Warrants or Warrant-Related Shares or, if shorter, through the date of expiration, or redemption or termination of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrants and the Warrant Agreement, the Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to (1) qualify the Warrant-Related Shares for listing on a Stock Exchange, which shall be the stock exchange on which the Issuer’s ADSs are then listed, and (2) update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include the Warrant-Related Shares. For as long as the Investor holds Warrants or Warrant-Related Shares or, if shorter, through the date of expiration, or redemption or termination of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrants and the Warrant Agreement, the Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, (B) file in a timely manner all reports and other documents with the SEC required under the Exchange Act and (C) provide all customary and reasonable cooperation necessary, in each case, to enable the Investor to resell the Warrant-Related Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144 of the Securities Act (when Rule 144 of the Securities Act becomes available to the Investor), as applicable.

 

(c) The Issuer may suspend the use of any such Registration Statement if the board of directors of the Issuer determines in good faith that either in order for such Registration Statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current or annual report under the Exchange Act (a “Suspension Event”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (I) the Issuer shall not so delay filing or so suspend the use of the Registration Statement for a period of more than sixty (60) consecutive days, not more than twice or more than a total of ninety (90) calendar days, in each case in any three hundred sixty (360) day period and (II) the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such Registration Statement available for the sale by the Investor of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter. The Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Depositary Bank to deliver unlegended ADSs to a transferee of an Investor in connection with any sale of Shares pursuant to the effective Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 where, following such sale, subsequent public distribution of such Shares shall not require registration under the Securities Act and such Shares are no longer restricted securities pursuant to the terms of the Deposit Agreement.

 

16

 

 

(d) The Issuer shall remove any restrictive legend included on the certificates (or, in the case of book-entry shares, any other instrument or record) representing the Investor’s ownership of Shares, and the Issuer shall issue a certificate (or evidence of the issuance of such securities in book-entry form) without such restrictive legend or any other restrictive legend to the Investor, if: (i) such Shares are sold or transferred pursuant to the effective Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 where, following such, subsequent public distribution of such shares shall not require registration under the Securities Act; or (ii) such Shares are eligible for sale pursuant to Section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act or Rule 144 without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and without the requirement for the Issuer to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(2) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable). Following Rule 144 becoming available for the resale of such Shares without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and without the requirement for the Issuer to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(2) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), the Issuer, upon the written request of Investor and after providing the Issuer, the Share Registrar and the Depositary Bank with all customary documentation, shall instruct the Issuer’s Share Registrar to remove the legend from such Shares (in whatever form) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Issuer’s counsel to issue any legend removal opinion required by the Share Registrar and the Depositary Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, once the Registration Statement registering the Shares for resale becomes effective under the Securities Act, and subject to receipt from the Investor by the Issuer, the Share Registrar and the Depositary Bank, as applicable, of customary documentation in connection therewith, the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Issuer’s counsel to (i) issue to the Share Registrar and the Depositary Bank a “blanket” legal opinion to allow sales without restriction pursuant to the effective Registration Statement, and (ii) provide all other opinions and documentation as may reasonably be required by the Share Registrar and the Depositary Bank in connection with the removal of legends in connection with such sales pursuant to the effective Registration Statement.

 

(e) At its expense, the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to advise the Investor within five (5) Business Days: (i) when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when such Registration Statement or post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; (ii) after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included in such Registration Statement or for additional information; (iii) after it shall have received notice or obtained knowledge thereof, of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Issuer of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Shares included in such Registration Statement for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (v) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein do not include any untrue statements of a material fact and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. The Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly provide written notice of the happening of any of the foregoing or of a Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading. The notice sent by the Issuer pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not contain any material non-public information other than the description of such event, which the parties agree may constitute material non-public information. Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in clauses (i) through (v) above, except for such times as the Issuer is permitted under this Subscription Agreement to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Shares included in such Registration Statement, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

(f) For purposes of this Section 7:

 

(i) “Shares” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the Ordinary Shares (including in the form of ADSs) and the Warrant-Related Shares.

 

(ii) “Warrant-Related Shares” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the Warrant ADSs and any ADSs representing Ordinary Shares issued or issuable with respect to the Additional Warrants and the Reset Warrants (assuming on such date the Warrants, the Additional Warrants and the Reset Warrants are able to be exercised in full without regard to any exercise limitations therein).

 

17

 

 

(iii) “Investor” shall include any person or entity to which the rights under this Section 7 shall have been duly assigned.

 

(iv) “Registrable Securities” means (i) the Shares, (ii) all Warrant-Related Shares, and (iii) any other Ordinary Shares issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to, in exchange for or in replacement of the Shares, whether by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement, amendment of the articles of association or otherwise; provided, however, that any such Registrable Securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities (and the Issuer shall not be required to maintain the effectiveness of any, or file another, Registration Statement hereunder with respect thereto) upon the first to occur of (A) a Registration Statement with respect to the sale of such Registrable Securities being declared effective by the SEC under the Securities Act and such Registrable Securities having been disposed of by the holder thereof in accordance with such effective Registration Statement, (B) such Registrable Securities having been sold in accordance with Rule 144 (or another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act) resulting in the transferee of the Shares holding unrestricted securities and (C) such Registrable Securities becoming eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions and without current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144.

 

(g) Notwithstanding any termination of this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall, to the extent permitted by Swedish law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Investor, the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, stockholders, and employees of the Investor, each person who controls the Investor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, stockholders, and employees of each such controlling person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, reasonable and documented costs (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees) and reasonable and documented expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained (or incorporated by reference) in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. The indemnity obligation set forth in this Section 7(g) shall not apply, however, to the extent that any untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding the Investor furnished in writing to the Issuer by the Investor expressly for use in any of the SEC filings referenced in this Section 7(g). The Issuer shall notify the Investor promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 7 of which the Issuer is aware. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Issuer.

 

(h) The Investor shall, severally and not jointly with any Other Investor, indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, its directors, officers, partners, members, managers, shareholders, agents and employees, each person who controls the Issuer (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, partners, members, managers, shareholders, or employees of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding the Investor furnished in writing to the Issuer by the Investor expressly for use therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investor’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investor.

 

18

 

 

(i) Any person or entity entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Subscription Agreement shall (A) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (B) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s right to indemnification under this Subscription Agreement to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall 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 a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. Without the consent of the indemnified party, no indemnifying party shall consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which does not include an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

(j) The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.

 

(k) If the indemnification provided under this Section 7 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Losses referred to in this Section 7, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of the Investor shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 7, the amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Losses shall be deemed to include any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 7(k) from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

8. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties to this Subscription Agreement shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of: (a) such date and time as the Business Combination Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties to terminate this Subscription Agreement; (c) the Outside Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement as in effect on the date of this Subscription Agreement, subject to the proviso set forth in Section 8.1(b) of the Business Combination Agreement providing for automatic extension of the Closing Date to September 8, 2026 if the SEC has not declared the registration statement of which the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) forms a part effective on or prior to May 8, 2026), if the Closing has not occurred by such date other than as contemplated in (d) below; or (d) if any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 3 of this Subscription Agreement are (i) not satisfied or waived prior to the Closing or (ii) not capable of being satisfied on the Closing and, in each case of (i) and (ii), as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement will not be and are not consummated at the Closing (the termination events described in clauses (a)-(d) above, collectively, the “Termination Events”). Nothing in this Subscription Agreement will relieve, however,

 

19

 

 

any party from liability for any willful breach of this Subscription Agreement prior to the time of termination. Each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such willful breach. The Issuer shall notify the Investor in writing of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement promptly after the termination of the Business Combination Agreement. Upon the occurrence of any Termination Event, this Subscription Agreement shall be void and of no further effect (except that the provisions of Section 7(g) through (k), this Section 8, Sections 10 through 12 and Section 14 of this Subscription Agreement will survive any termination of the Subscription Agreement and continue indefinitely). Following the Termination Event, any monies paid by the Investor to the Issuer in connection with this Subscription Agreement shall promptly (and in any event within one Business Day) be returned to the Investor without any deduction for or on account of any tax, withholding, charges, or set-off.

 

9. [Intentionally Omitted.]

 

10. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the parties hereunder (other than the Securities acquired under this Subscription Agreement, if any) may be transferred or assigned without the prior written consent of each of the other parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Subscription Agreement and all or a portion of the Investor’s rights and obligations hereunder may be assigned to one or more fund or account managed by the same investment manager as the Investor or by or to an affiliate (as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act) of such investment manager without the prior consent of the Issuer. Prior to such assignment being valid, any such assignee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Subscription Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assignment pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 10 shall relieve the Investor of its obligations under this Subscription Agreement.

 

(b) The Issuer may request from the Investor such additional information as the Issuer deems reasonably necessary to register the resale of the Securities and evaluate the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the Securities. Investor agrees to promptly provide such information as may reasonably be requested to the extent readily available. The Issuer agrees to keep any such information provided by Investor confidential except: (i) as necessary to include in any registration statement the Issuer is required to file under this Subscription Agreement; (ii) as required by the federal securities law or pursuant to other routine proceedings of regulatory authorities; or (iii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law, at the request of the staff of the SEC or regulatory agency or under the regulations of any national securities exchange on which the Issuer’s securities are listed for trading. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that if it does not provide the Issuer with such requested information, the Issuer may not be able to register the Investor’s Shares for resale pursuant to Section 8. In such event, Investor also agrees that, without any liability under this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer may reject the Investor’s Subscription Amount prior to the Closing Date in the event the Investor fails to provide such additional information requested by the Issuer to evaluate the Investor’s eligibility or the Issuer’s determines that the Investor is not eligible. The Investor acknowledges that the Issuer and/or the SPAC may file a form of this Subscription Agreement with the SEC as an exhibit to a periodic report or a registration statement of SPAC.

 

(c) The Investor acknowledges that the Issuer and the Placement Agents will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement, including Schedule A. Prior to the Closing, the Investor agrees to promptly notify the Issuer if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties set forth in Section 7 above are no longer accurate in any material respect (other than those acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties qualified by materiality, in which case the Investor shall notify the Issuer if they are no longer accurate in any respect). If the Issuer receives such notice from Investor, the Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Placement Agents. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that each purchase by the Investor of Securities from the Issuer will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties in this Subscription Agreement (as modified by any such notice) by the Investor as of the time of such purchase contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, the Issuer agrees to promptly notify the Investor if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 above are no longer accurate in any material respect (other than those acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties qualified by materiality, Issuer Material Adverse Effect, in which case the Issuer shall notify the Investor if they are no longer accurate in any respect). The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that each sale by the Issuer of the Securities to the Investor will constitute a reaffirmation of their respective acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties in this Subscription Agreement (as modified by any such notice) as of the time of such purchase.

(d) The Issuer, the Investor and the Placement Agents are each entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and each is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy of this Subscription Agreement to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered under this Subscription Agreement. The foregoing clause of this Section 11(d) shall not, however, give the Placement Agents any rights other than those expressly set forth in this Subscription Agreement.

 

(e) All of the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing.

 

(f) This Subscription Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 8 above) except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties. No failure or delay of either party in exercising any right or remedy under this Subscription Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy. Nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties under this Subscription Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the parties would otherwise have.

 

(g) This Subscription Agreement (including Schedule A) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter of the Subscription Agreement. Except as set forth in Section 7 with respect to any indemnified person, Section 8, Section 10(c), Section 10(d), Section 10(f), this Section 10(g), the last sentence of Section 10(k) and Section 11 with respect to the persons specifically referenced in that Section, and Section 6 and Section 10(c) with respect to the Placement Agents, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties, and their respective successors and assigns. The parties acknowledge and agree that only those persons specifically referenced in the preceding sentence are third party beneficiaries of this Subscription Agreement with right of enforcement for the purposes of, and to the extent of, the rights granted to them, if any, pursuant to the applicable provisions.

 

(h) Except as otherwise provided in this Subscription Agreement, this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns. The agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

 

(i) If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired by such court and shall continue in full force and effect so long as this Subscription Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter of this Subscription Agreement and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

 

(j) This Subscription Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or any other form of electronic delivery (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 by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 

21

 

 

(k) The parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Consequently, the parties acknowledge and agree that a party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Subscription Agreement, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages, to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement. The parties also acknowledge and agree that the foregoing equitable remedies shall be in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise.

 

(l) If any change in the number, type or classes of authorized shares of the Issuer (including the Shares), other than as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, or any agreement contemplated by the Transaction, shall occur between the date of this Subscription Agreement and immediately prior to the Closing by reason of reclassification, recapitalization, share division or consolidation, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any share dividend, the number of Shares issued to the Investor and per share purchase price shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change.

 

(m) This Subscription Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York as to all matters (including any action, suit, litigation, arbitration, mediation, claim, charge, complaint, inquiry, proceeding, hearing, audit, investigation or reviews by or before any governmental entity related), including matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies.

 

(n) Each party under this Subscription Agreement, and any person asserting rights as a third party beneficiary in accordance with Section 10(g) may do so only if he, she or it, irrevocably agrees that any action, suit or proceeding between or among the parties, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, arising in connection with any disagreement, dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement or any related document or any of the transactions contemplated under this Subscription Agreement or any related document (“Legal Dispute”) shall be brought exclusively in the federal and state courts sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York within the State of New York (collectively the “Chosen Courts”). Each party under this Subscription Agreement consents to the jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each party irrevocably waives, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in the Chosen Courts or that any such suit, action or proceeding that is brought in the Chosen Courts has been brought in an inconvenient forum. During the period a Legal Dispute that is filed in accordance with this Section 10(n) is pending before the Chosen Courts, all actions, suits or proceedings with respect to such Legal Dispute or any other Legal Dispute, including any counterclaim, cross-claim or interpleader, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts. Each party and any person asserting rights as a third party beneficiary may do so only if he, she or it waives, and shall not assert as a defense in any Legal Dispute, that: (a) such party is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for any reason; (b) such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in the Chosen Courts; (c) such party’s property is exempt or immune from execution; (d) such action, suit or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum; or (e) the venue of such action, suit or proceeding is improper. A final judgment in any action, suit or proceeding described in this Section 10(n) following the expiration of any period permitted for appeal and subject to any stay during appeal shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable laws. EACH OF THE PARTIES AND ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY MAY DO SO ONLY IF HE, SHE OR IT IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIMS OR COUNTERCLAIMS ASSERTED IN ANY LEGAL DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED UNDER THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM RELATING THERETO. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL ASSERT IN SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE A NONCOMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED UNDER THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.

(o) The Issuer and SPAC acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Securities may be pledged by Investor in connection with a bona fide margin agreement, which shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and Investor effecting a pledge of Securities shall not be required to provide the Issuer or SPAC with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Issuer or SPAC pursuant to this Subscription Agreement. The Issuer and SPAC hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Securities to such pledgee by Investor.

The Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, and is expressly disclaiming reliance on any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation (including, without limitation, the Placement Agents, nor any of their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), other than the statements, representations and warranties of the Issuer expressly contained in this Subscription Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Issuer. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that none of (i) any Other Investor pursuant to any Other Subscription Agreements related to the private placement of the Securities (including such Other Investor’s respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), (ii) the Placement Agents, their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing, or (iii) any party to the Business Combination Agreement or any Non-Party Affiliate (as defined below) other than the Issuer and the SPAC as expressly provided for in this Subscription Agreement, shall have any liability to the Investor,

 

23

 

 

or to any Other Investor, pursuant to, arising out of or relating to: (x) this Subscription Agreement or any Other Subscription Agreements related to the private placement of the Securities or other Equity Interests; (y) the negotiation of this Subscription Agreement, its subject matter or the private placement of the Securities; or (z) the transactions contemplated under this Subscription Agreement or under any Other Subscription Agreements related to the private placement of the Securities or other Equity Interests. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the prohibition on liability set forth in the preceding sentence shall apply only to any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with: (i) the purchase of the Securities or with respect to any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) for breach of this Subscription Agreement; (ii) any written or oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection with this Subscription Agreement, as expressly provided in this Subscription Agreement; or (iii) any actual or alleged inaccuracies, misstatements or omissions with respect to any information or materials of any kind furnished by the Issuer, the Placement Agents or any Non-Party Affiliate concerning the Issuer, the Placement Agents, any of their respective controlled affiliates, this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated under this Subscription Agreement. “Non-Party Affiliates” means each former, current or future officer, director, employee, partner, member, manager, direct or indirect equity holder or affiliate of the Issuer, the Placement Agents or any of the Issuer’s or the Placement Agents’ controlled affiliates or any family member of the foregoing.

 

12. Disclosure. The Investor agrees to treat all information received in connection with the Transaction as confidential until the registration statement of which the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) forms a part (the “Disclosure Document”) is publicly filed by the Issuer with the SEC (the “Disclosure Time”), which, to the extent not previously disclosed, shall disclose all material terms of the transactions contemplated under this Subscription Agreement and by the Other Subscription Agreements and the Business Combination Agreement, the Transaction and any other material, nonpublic information that the Issuer, the SPAC or any of their respective officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents, including, without limitation, the Placement Agents have provided to the Investor at any time prior to the filing of the Disclosure Document. Upon the issuance of the Disclosure Document, to the knowledge of the Issuer, the Investor shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information received from the Issuer, the SPAC or any of their respective officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents, including, without limitation, the Placement Agents. Upon the Disclosure Time, the Investor shall no longer be subject to any confidentiality or similar obligations under any current agreement, whether written or oral, with the Issuer, the SPAC or any of their respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents, including, without limitation, the Placement Agents, relating to the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Subscription Agreement to the contrary, neither the Issuer nor the SPAC shall publicly disclose the name of the Investor or any of its affiliates or advisers, or include the name of the Investor or any of its affiliates or advisers in any press release or in any filing with the SEC or any regulatory agency or trading market, without the prior written consent of the Investor, except: (i) as required by the federal securities law or pursuant to other routine proceedings of regulatory authorities; (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law, at the request of the staff of the SEC or regulatory agency or under the regulations of any national securities exchange on which the SPAC’s securities are listed for trading; or (iii) to the extent such announcements or other communications contain only information previously disclosed in a public statement, press release or other communication previously approved in accordance with this Section 12. Prior to any disclosure permitted under the preceding sentence, to the extent permitted under law, each of the Issuer and the SPAC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Investor with prior written notice of such disclosure and shall reasonably consult with the Investor regarding such disclosure.

 

13. Open-Market Purchases. At the Investor’s election, the [●] ADSs representing Ordinary Shares subscribed hereby may be reduced on a one-for-one share basis (the “Reduction Right”) by up to an aggregate of Open-Market Purchase Shares and Currently Owned Shares, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, any such exercise of the Reduction Right shall neither reduce the number of Warrants to be issued by the Issuer to the Investor as set forth on the Investor’s signature page hereto, nor impair the Investor’s eligibility to receive the Additional Warrants or Reset Warrants, as described in Sections 1(b) or 1(d) of this Subscription Agreement. For the purposes of this Section 13: (i) “Open-Market Purchase Shares” means any SPAC Shares (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) purchased by the Investor for its own account pursuant to open-market transactions with third parties prior to the Record Date and held through the Closing Date; and (ii) “Currently Owned Shares” means any SPAC Shares the Investor beneficially owns as of the date of this Subscription Agreement that are held through the Closing Date; and (iii) “Record Date” means the record date established for voting at the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of Issuer held to approve the Transaction.

Subject to Section 12, if disclosure is required pursuant the preceding sentence, the disclosing member of the Company Group will, as soon as practicable, notify the Investor of such requirement (except where prohibited by Applicable Law) so that the Investor (or its applicable affiliate) may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy prior to such disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer and the SPAC may make disclosures to an auditor or governmental or regulatory authority pursuant to any routine investigation, inspection, examination or inquiry without providing the Investor with any notification thereof, unless the Investor is the subject of any such investigation, inspection, examination or inquiry (in which case the preceding sentence shall govern).

Further, the Issuer, on behalf of itself and the other Company Parties, acknowledges and agrees that the Company Parties are not relying upon any Investor Party for investment advice, analysis or recommendations regarding any investment or potential investment.

Einride and Legato Merger Corp. III Announces $113 Million Oversubscribed Capital Raise in Support of Proposed Business Combination

 

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN & NEW YORK, NY — February 26, 2026 — Einride AB (“Einride” or the “Company”), a technology company driving the transition to cost-efficient electric and autonomous freight operations for some of the world’s largest shippers, and Legato Merger Corp. III (NYSE American: LEGT) (“Legato”), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company today announced an oversubscribed PIPE financing of approximately $113 million gross proceeds (the “PIPE”), in support of their previously announced proposed business combination (the “Transaction”).

 

The PIPE financing was committed by new and existing investors including a global asset management company based on the West Coast of the United States, and Stockholm-based EQT Ventures. Proceeds from the PIPE are expected to support Einride’s technology roadmap and global expansion, including autonomous deployments across North America, Europe, and the Middle East, and additional commercial applications of the Company’s intelligent freight platform.

 

To date, investors have committed an aggregate of approximately $213 million in financing in connection with the Transaction, including both the PIPE financing and Einride’s already announced crossover financing of approximately $100 million. The proceeds from the PIPE financing exceeds the Company’s previously announced expectations to raise up to $100 million in additional capital to support the Transaction.

 

“This PIPE reflects strong investor confidence in Einride’s mission to transform global freight through autonomous and electric technology,” said Roozbeh Charli, Chief Executive of Einride. “With this additional capital, we believe we are well positioned to scale our commercial deployments of electric and autonomous freight solutions with both existing and new customers, while continuing to invest in our automated driving system and intelligent freight platform.”

 

“Einride continues to demonstrate leadership at the intersection of autonomy, electrification, and logistics,” said Eric Rosenfeld, Chief SPAC Officer of Legato. “We believe this PIPE investment underscores the compelling value proposition and long-term growth opportunity of Einride as the Company prepares to enter the public markets.”

 

For additional information about the PIPE, see Legato’s Current Report on Form 8-K, which will be filed promptly, following the issuance of this press release, and which can be obtained, without charge, at the Securities and Exchange Commission’s internet site (http://www.sec.gov).

 

The Transaction values Einride at a pre-money equity value of $1.35 billion and is expected to deliver approximately $333m in gross proceeds including the PIPE financing and $220 million in proceeds from Legato’s cash-in-trust before accounting for potential redemptions and transaction expenses. In addition, Einride and Legato may also pursue additional capital in connection with the closing of the Transaction to further support Einride’s long-term operating plan.

 

 

 

 

Subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions, including approval of Legato shareholders, regulatory approvals, the combined company expects to list its ordinary shares, represented by American depositary shares and warrants on the New York Stock Exchange during the first half of 2026 under the proposed ticker symbol “ENRD”.

 

TD Cowen acted as lead placement agent to Einride and BTIG acted as placement agent in connection with the announced PIPE transaction. DLA Piper LLP (US) acted as legal advisor to Einride in the PIPE transaction. Greenberg Traurig, LLP acted as legal advisor to TD Cowen and BTIG.

 

The securities being sold in the PIPE have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or applicable state securities laws and accordingly may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such applicable state securities laws.

 

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities, nor shall there be any sale of the securities being offered 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.

 

Einride will webcast an investor presentation on March 19, 2026. More details to follow.
