Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Securities Purchase Agreement

 

On May 27, 2026, Voyager Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (“Voyager”), Veraxa Biotech AG, a public limited company organized under the laws of Switzerland (the “Company”), and Veraxa Biotech Holding AG, a company limited by shares organized under the laws of Switzerland (“PubCo”), entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with each of the investors listed on the Schedule of Buyers attached thereto (each, a “Buyer” and collectively, the “Buyers”), pursuant to which PubCo agreed to issue and sell, in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder (the “Private Placement”): (i) senior secured notes of PubCo due August 27, 2027 (the “Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $27,500,000, and (ii) warrants (the “Warrants” and, together with the Notes, the “Securities”) to purchase up to 2,391,305 of PubCo’s ordinary shares, CHF 1/113.25 par value (the “PubCo Ordinary Shares”).

 

The Private Placement is being entered into in connection with a business combination transaction (the “deSPAC Transaction”) contemplated by that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated April 22, 2025 (as amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among PubCo, Voyager, and the other parties thereto, pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Voyager will merge with and into Veraxa Cayman Merger Sub, an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Merger Sub”), with Merger Sub surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo, and (ii) the Company will merge with and into PubCo, with PubCo surviving as a publicly traded company. In connection with and effective upon completion of the deSPAC Transaction, PubCo will assume all of the business, operations, assets, and liabilities of Voyager and the Company.

 

Among other things, the Purchase Agreement provides for the following: (i) PubCo will hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders as soon as reasonably practicable following the closing of the deSPAC Transaction, and in any event no later than thirty (30) days following the closing date under the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing Date”), for the purpose of obtaining shareholder approval to amend PubCo’s articles of association, including a revised conditional capital article and a revised capital band article (the “Amendments”); (ii) commencing upon completion of the deSPAC Transaction, PubCo will file a resale registration statement on Form F-1 or Form F-3 as soon as practicable and no later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date to register the resale of at least 11,000,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares underlying the Securities, subject to adjustment as provided in the Purchase Agreement, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within thirty (30) days of filing (or sixty (60) days if reviewed by the SEC); (iii) restrictions on the issuance of variable rate transactions by PubCo, the Company and Voyager, subject to specified exceptions; (iv) restrictions on the payment of cash dividends or redemptions by PubCo while Notes are outstanding, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Notes; and (v) PubCo’s obligation to maintain the listing of the PubCo Ordinary Shares on an eligible market, including the Nasdaq Global Market. PubCo intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities for working capital and general corporate purposes and for the payment of underwriter compensation up to $500,000, subject to the restrictions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. 

 

Senior Secured Notes

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, at the closing of the Private Placement, PubCo will issue Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $27,500,000. The Notes mature fifteen (15) months from the date of issuance. The Notes are senior secured obligations of PubCo and provide, among other things, for: (i) scheduled monthly partial redemption payments of $2,750,000, payable in cash or, at PubCo’s election and subject to specified equity conditions, payable in PubCo Ordinary Shares; (ii) an optional redemption right for PubCo to redeem all or a portion (not less than $1,000,000) of the outstanding principal amount, subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the Notes, at a price equal to the outstanding principal amount being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest (or, if certain defaults have occurred, 115% of the principal amount being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest); (iii) customary events of default and remedies, including acceleration at 115% of the outstanding principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and default interest at a rate of 15% per annum; (iv) ranking effectively senior to all unsecured indebtedness of PubCo to the extent of the value of the collateral and senior to any subordinated indebtedness; (v) customary affirmative, negative and compliance covenants, including minimum liquidity and cash burn covenants; (vi) a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% with respect to any share settlement or conversion (subject to increase to 9.99% upon 61 days’ notice); and (vii) cash sweep payment provisions requiring application of 20% of the gross proceeds of certain equity issuances.

 

Warrants

 

Under the Purchase Agreement, PubCo will also issue to the Buyers Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,391,305 PubCo Ordinary Shares at an initial exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Warrants. The Warrants will be exercisable beginning on the date of issuance and will expire at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the four-year anniversary of the date on which a resale registration statement covering the resale of all PubCo Ordinary Shares underlying the Warrants is declared effective by the SEC. The Warrants include a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% (subject to increase to 9.99% upon 61 days’ notice by the holder), exercise mechanics permitting cash exercise, nominal value exercise and, at the holder’s option, reduction of principal outstanding under the Notes to pay the exercise price, and adjustment provisions for share dividends, splits, subsequent rights offerings, subsequent equity sales, pro rata distributions and other specified transactions. The Warrants also contain protections in connection with fundamental transactions, including mergers, consolidations, sales of all or substantially all assets, tender or exchange offers, reclassifications, reorganizations and similar transactions, including the right, in certain circumstances, to receive alternate consideration or require purchase of the Warrant at its Black Scholes Value (as defined in the Warrants).

Security Agreements

 

In connection with the Purchase Agreement and the issuance of the Notes, PubCo and the Buyers will enter into security agreements (the “Security Agreements”), pursuant to which PubCo has agreed to grant a first-priority security interest to the collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”), as collateral agent for the holders of the Notes, in all tangible and intangible assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, whether now owned or hereafter created or acquired, to secure the obligations under the Notes and related transaction documents. In addition, PubCo and the Collateral Agent will enter into bank account pledge agreements and other control agreements (collectively, the “Control Agreements”) with respect to certain deposit accounts and securities accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, perfecting the Collateral Agent’s lien in such accounts. 

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement, the Notes, the Warrants, the Security Agreements and the Control Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 4.2, 4.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. 

 

Lincoln Park Purchase Agreement

 

On May 27, 2026, Voyager, PubCo and Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”) entered into a purchase agreement (the “LPC Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Lincoln Park committed to purchase, at PubCo’s direction from time to time, up to an aggregate of $50,000,000 of PubCo Ordinary Shares, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the LPC Purchase Agreement. In connection therewith, Voyager, PubCo and Lincoln Park also entered into a registration rights agreement (the “LPC Registration Rights Agreement” and, together with the LPC Purchase Agreement, the “LPC Agreements”), pursuant to which PubCo agreed to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement covering the resale by Lincoln Park of the PubCo Ordinary Shares that have been and may be issued and sold to Lincoln Park under the LPC Purchase Agreement, including the commitment shares described below, and to take such other actions as are reasonably necessary to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement as provided in the LPC Registration Rights Agreement.

 

The LPC Purchase Agreement was entered into in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, (i) PubCo formed Merger Sub as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo, (ii) Voyager will merge with and into Merger Sub, with Merger Sub surviving the merger and continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Initial Merger”), (iii) Merger Sub will distribute its assets to PubCo as a liquidating distribution and, as soon as reasonably possible, Merger Sub shall be dissolved under the laws of the Cayman Islands and will cease to be a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo, and (iv) as soon as practicable, but not less than twenty-four hours following the completion of the Initial Merger, the Company will merge with and into PubCo, with PubCo as the surviving entity in the merger (the “Acquisition Merger” and, collectively with the other transactions contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement, the “Merger”). Upon consummation of the Merger (the “Merger Closing”), PubCo will be a public company and the surviving entity of the Acquisition Merger. 

 

Under the terms of the LPC Purchase Agreement, from and after the date on which the conditions to Lincoln Park’s purchase obligations have been satisfied, including that the Merger shall have been completed, the PubCo Ordinary Shares shall be listed on the applicable principal market, the registration statement described above is declared effective by the SEC and a final prospectus is filed with the SEC (the “Commencement Date”), PubCo will have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion to direct Lincoln Park to purchase PubCo Ordinary Shares from time to time over a period of up to 24 months, for aggregate gross proceeds to PubCo of up to $50,000,000, subject to certain limitations contained in the LPC Purchase Agreement. Lincoln Park has no right to require PubCo to sell any PubCo Ordinary Shares, but Lincoln Park is obligated to make purchases of PubCo Ordinary Shares from PubCo as directed by PubCo in accordance with the LPC Purchase Agreement.

 

From and after the Commencement Date, on any business day on which the closing sale price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares is not below the Floor Price (as defined in the LPC Purchase Agreement), PubCo may, by written notice, direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to $100,000 of PubCo Ordinary Shares (a “Regular Purchase”), which amount may be increased to up to $200,000 if the closing sale price is not below $2.50, up to $300,000 if the closing sale price is not below $3.50 and up to $500,000 if the closing sale price is not below $5.00, in each case subject to adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, share split, reverse share split or other similar transaction. The purchase price per share for each Regular Purchase will be equal to 97% of the lower of (i) the lowest sale price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares on the applicable purchase date and (ii) the average of the three lowest closing sale prices of the PubCo Ordinary Shares during the ten business days immediately preceding the applicable purchase date. Regular Purchases may be effected as frequently as each business day after the close of trading so that the applicable purchase price is fixed and known at the time PubCo elects to sell shares to Lincoln Park.

 

2

 

 

In addition, if PubCo directs Lincoln Park to purchase the maximum number of shares permitted in a Regular Purchase on an applicable purchase date, then, in addition to such Regular Purchase and subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and limitations set forth in the LPC Purchase Agreement, PubCo may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase additional PubCo Ordinary Shares in one or more accelerated purchases (each, an “Accelerated Purchase”) and additional accelerated purchases (each, an “Additional Accelerated Purchase”) on the following business day. The purchase price per share for each Accelerated Purchase and Additional Accelerated Purchase will be based on market prices of the PubCo Ordinary Shares on the applicable purchase date for such Accelerated Purchases and Additional Accelerated Purchases, as calculated in the manner specified in the LPC Purchase Agreement.

 

PubCo will control the timing and amount of any sales of PubCo Ordinary Shares to Lincoln Park pursuant to the LPC Purchase Agreement. Actual sales of PubCo Ordinary Shares to Lincoln Park will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by PubCo from time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo’s determination as to the appropriate sources of funding for its operations.

 

The LPC Purchase Agreement also prohibits PubCo from directing Lincoln Park to purchase any PubCo Ordinary Shares if those shares, when aggregated with all other PubCo Ordinary Shares then beneficially owned by Lincoln Park and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 13d-3 thereunder), would result in Lincoln Park beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares, which beneficial ownership cap may be increased by Lincoln Park up to 9.99% upon 61 days’ prior written notice to PubCo.

 

As consideration for Lincoln Park’s commitment to purchase PubCo Ordinary Shares under the LPC Purchase Agreement, PubCo shall issue to Lincoln Park $750,000 of PubCo Ordinary Shares (the “Commitment Shares”) on the business day prior to the filing of the initial registration statement. For the avoidance of doubt, all of the Commitment Shares shall be fully earned as of the date of the LPC Purchase Agreement, irrespective of any subsequent termination, but the Commitment Shares will in no event be paid to Lincoln Park if the Merger Closing does not occur. Lincoln Park has agreed that it will not engage in or effect, directly or indirectly, any short sales of or hedging transactions that establish a net short position in the PubCo Ordinary Shares during the term of the LPC Purchase Agreement.

 

The LPC Agreements contain customary representations, warranties, conditions, covenants, suspension events and indemnification obligations of the parties. PubCo has the right to terminate the LPC Purchase Agreement at any time after the Commencement Date with one business day’s prior written notice to Lincoln Park, at no cost or penalty. Following the Commencement Date, upon the occurrence of any “Suspension Event” under the LPC Purchase Agreement, PubCo may not initiate any regular or other purchase of PubCo Ordinary Shares by Lincoln Park until such Suspension Event is cured; provided, however, that Lincoln Park may not terminate the LPC Purchase Agreement as a result of any such Suspension Event.

 

From the date of the LPC Purchase Agreement and for a period of six months after the termination or expiration of the LPC Purchase Agreement, PubCo is prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance of PubCo Ordinary Shares involving a “Variable Rate Transaction” (as defined in the LPC Purchase Agreement); provided, however, that PubCo may enter into or maintain an at-the-market offering program with a registered broker-dealer.

 

This report shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any PubCo Ordinary Shares, nor shall there be any sale of PubCo Ordinary Shares in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.

 

The foregoing summary of the material terms of the LPC Purchase Agreement and the LPC Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such LPC Agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.4 and 10.5, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and each of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference. The representations, warranties and covenants in such LPC Agreements were made only for purposes of such LPC Agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such LPC Agreements and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

In the LPC Purchase Agreement, Lincoln Park represented to Voyager and PubCo, among other things, that it is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D under the Securities Act). The Commitment Shares will be issued and the Purchase Shares (as defined in the LPC Agreements) will be issued and sold by PubCo to Lincoln Park in reliance upon the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D thereunder.

FORM OF WARRANT

 

WARRANT TO PURCHASE ORDINARY SHARES

 

VERAXA BIOTECH HOLDING AG.

 

Warrant Shares: 2,391,305 Issuance Date: [●]

 

THIS WARRANT TO PURCHASE ORDINARY SHARES (this “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, _____________ or its assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the four year anniversary of the date on which a Resale Registration Statement covering the resale of all Warrant Shares (as defined below) is declared effective by the Commission (as defined below) (the “Termination Date”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Veraxa Biotech Holding AG, a public limited company organized under the Laws of Switzerland (the “Company”), up to two million three hundred ninety one thousand three hundred and five (2,391,305) Ordinary Shares, par value CHF 100/11,325 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of the Company (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”). The purchase price of one Warrant Share under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).

 

1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), dated as of May [●], 2026, among the Company, the Holder and the other Buyers party thereto.

 

2. Exercise.

 

(a) Exercise of Warrant. 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 and the bank incorporated in, existing, licensed and authorized under the laws of Switzerland, as notified by the Company to the Holder from time to time (the “Bank”) of a duly executed PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Exercise”). The contact information for the Bank shall initially be Max Fischer, Executive Director, EFG Bank, Promenade 2a, 3780 Gstaad, Switzerland ([email protected]) and shall remain the contact information for the Bank until such time as the Holder has received written notice of new contact information for the Bank. Within the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(ii) herein) following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall pay the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by (I) wire transfer in immediately available funds to the Bank, unless and to the extent the nominal value exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise or (II) notifying the Company that the outstanding principal amount under the Senior Secured Note due 2027 (the “Note”) issued by the Company to the Holder shall be reduced by an amount equal to any or all, at the Holder’s option, of such aggregate Exercise Price (each such notice, a “Principal Reduction Notice”), effective upon the Company’s receipt of the applicable Principal Reduction Notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Company and the Holder acknowledge that in case of cash exercise the subscription rights conferred by the Warrant in relation to the exercise (the “Subscription Rights”) shall be validly exercised on the day on which the Company or the Bank has received a copy of the Notice of Exercise validly executed on behalf of the Holder. Upon the date of receipt of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that the Company shall have received (a) the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a nominal value exercise in which case the Company shall have received at least the aggregate nominal value of the Warrant Shares to be issued)

 

 

 

 

at the Bank or (b) the Principal Reduction Notice, in either case within the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required. No medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise or Principal Reduction Notice shall be required. The Company shall have no obligation to inquire with respect to or otherwise confirm the authenticity of the signature(s) contained on any Notice of Exercise or Principal Reduction Notice nor the authority of the person so executing such notice. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder have been issued and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within seven (7) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in issuances of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares issued. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares issued and the date of such issuance. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the subscription for and issuance of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for subscription and issuance hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

(b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per Ordinary Share under this Warrant shall be $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment hereunder; provided, however, that if at any time after the earlier of (i) the Effectiveness Deadline (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and (ii) the date that the Resale Registration Statement becomes effective, the Resale Registration Statement is not available for the resale of all Warrant Shares, until such time as the Resale Registration Statement becomes available for the resale of all Warrant Shares, then the exercise price for the number of Warrant Shares for which the Resale Registration Statement is not available shall instead be the par value of an Ordinary Share at the time of such exercise, if the par value of an Ordinary Share at such time is less than $11.50, subject to adjustment hereunder as and when the Exercise Price is adjusted hereunder (the “Exercise Price”). For the avoidance of doubt, the reduction of the exercise price to par value pursuant to the preceding sentence shall occur each time the Resale Registration Statement becomes unavailable for the resale of any Warrant Shares after the earlier of (i) the Effectiveness Deadline (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and (ii) the date that the Resale Registration Statement becomes effective.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in Section 3, for purposes of determining whether a Dilutive Issuance has occurred under Section 3(c) and calculating any resulting adjustment to the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 3(c) and Section 3(d), the “Applicable Price” shall be deemed to be the Exercise Price that would then be in effect but for any temporary reduction to par value pursuant to this Section 2(b). For the avoidance of doubt, if a Dilutive Issuance occurs during any period when the Exercise Price for any Warrant Shares has been temporarily reduced to par value pursuant to this Section 2(b): (x) the number of Warrant Shares shall be adjusted under Section 3(d) at the time of such Dilutive Issuance as if no such temporary reduction to par value had occurred; (y) with respect to any Warrant Shares for which the Resale Registration Statement is then available, the Exercise Price for such Warrant Shares shall be reduced to the New Issuance Price at the time of such Dilutive Issuance; and (z) with respect to any Warrant Shares for which the Resale Registration Statement is not then available, the Exercise Price for such Warrant Shares shall remain at par value; provided, that upon the Resale Registration Statement again becoming available for the resale of such Warrant Shares, the Exercise Price for such Warrant Shares shall be the New Issuance Price at the time of such Dilutive Issuance calculated in accordance with the preceding sentence. In no event shall the Exercise Price be adjusted upward or the number of Warrant Shares be reduced pursuant to this Warrant, other than proportionate adjustments resulting from stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions pursuant to Section 3(a).

 

2

 

 

(c) Nominal Value Exercise. At the election of the Holder, this Warrant may also be exercised at any time, in whole or in part, by means of a “nominal value exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares (credited as fully paid) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

 

  (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) delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) 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, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (x) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (y) the highest Bid Price of the Ordinary Shares on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) within two (2) hours of the time of the Holder’s delivery of the Notice of Exercise pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof if such Notice of Exercise is delivered during “regular trading hours,” or within two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day or (iii) 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 delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after two (2) hours following the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;

 

  (B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

 

  (X) = the number of Warrant Shares 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 a nominal value exercise.

 

If Warrant Shares are issued in such a nominal value exercise, the Holder shall pay to the Bank an amount in cash equal to (A) the number of Warrant Shares to be received by the Holder as part of such nominal value exercise calculated in accordance with the above formula pursuant to this Section 2(c), multiplied by (B) the par value of CHF 100/11,325 (as may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with the articles of association of the Company) per Ordinary Share.

 

Bid Price” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Ordinary Shares are then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the bid price of the Ordinary Shares for the time in question (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Ordinary Shares are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if the Ordinary Shares are not then listed or quoted on a Trading Market and if the Ordinary Shares are listed or quoted for trading on the OTC Market Group’s OTCQB exchange (“OTCQB”) or OTCQX exchange (“OTCQX”) (or any successors to either of the foregoing), the VWAP of the Ordinary Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Ordinary Shares are not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Ordinary Shares are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per Ordinary Share so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of an Ordinary Share as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the holders of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

 

3

 

 

Trading Market” means any of the following markets or exchanges on which Ordinary Shares are listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, or the New York Stock Exchange (or any successors to any of the foregoing).

 

VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Ordinary Shares are then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Ordinary Shares are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if the Ordinary Shares are not then listed or quoted on a Trading Market and if the Ordinary Shares are listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX (or any successors to either of the foregoing), the volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Ordinary Shares are not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Ordinary Shares are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per Ordinary Share so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of an Ordinary Share as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the holders of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

 

(d) Mechanics of Exercise.

 

(i) The Company undertakes that, after confirmation by the Bank of the receipt of the Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares (or, in connection with a nominal value exercise, the nominal value thereof in accordance with Section 2(c)) or upon receipt of the Principal Reduction Notice in respect of which Subscription Rights are to be exercised in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2, it shall allocate to the Holder the Warrant Shares issued by operation of law and constituted by such Warrant and shall immediately enter the name of the Holder (or any assignee) in the share register of the Company in respect of the number of Warrant Shares issued to it on the date of issue.

 

(ii) Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares issued hereunder to be transmitted 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 (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and there is an effective Resale Registration Statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, and otherwise by physical delivery of the Warrant Shares, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares 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 earliest of (i) one (1) Trading Day after delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (ii) one (1) Trading Day after (a) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Bank or (b) delivery of the Principal Reduction Notice, and (iii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”); provided that the Company shall have received the Notice of Exercise and, as applicable, (a) the Principal Reduction Notice or (b) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a nominal value exercise, in which case the Company shall have received payment of at least the aggregate nominal value of the Warrant Shares to be so issued) at the Bank prior to or on such applicable date. Upon the date of receipt of the Notice of Exercise (the “Exercise Date”), the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that the Company shall have received (a) the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a nominal value exercise in which case the Company shall have received at least the aggregate nominal value of the Warrant Shares to be issued) at the Bank or (b) the Principal Reduction Notice, in either case within the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise; and provided further, that the Holder shall be deemed to have waived any voting rights of any such Warrant Shares that may arise during the period commencing on such Exercise Date, through, and including, such applicable Warrant Share

Delivery Date, as necessary, such that the aggregate voting rights of any Ordinary Shares (including such Warrant Shares) beneficially owned by the Holder and/or any Attribution Parties, collectively, shall not exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below) as a result of any such exercise of this Warrant. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Ordinary Shares on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the third Trading Day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a registrar (which may be the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”)) that is a participant in the Fast Automated Securities Transfer 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 Ordinary Shares as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.

 

(iii) 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 Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

 

(iv) Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise. Upon any such rescission, (A) if the Holder has paid the Exercise Price in cash, the Company shall promptly return to the Holder any Exercise Price paid in connection with such exercise and (B) if the Holder has delivered a Principal Reduction Notice in connection with such exercise, such Principal Reduction Notice shall be deemed void and the outstanding principal amount under the Note shall be restored to the amount in effect immediately prior to delivery of such Principal Reduction Notice.

 

(v) Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(ii) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, Ordinary Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Ordinary Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Ordinary Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Warrants with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

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

 

(vii) Charges, Taxes and Expenses. The issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares 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 as Exhibit C 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 Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

 

(viii) Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

(ix) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with (i) the Holder’s Affiliates, (ii) any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates, and (iii) any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Ordinary Shares would or could be aggregated with the Holder’s for the purposes of Section 13(d) (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Warrant Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other securities of the Company or its Subsidiaries which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Ordinary Shares, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Ordinary Shares (collectively “Ordinary Share Equivalents”)) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(d)(ix), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(d)(ix) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable

(in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. 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. For purposes of this Section 2(d)(ix), in determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding Ordinary Shares was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(d)(ix), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(d)(ix) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(d)(ix) 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 and this Section 2(d)(ix) may not be amended by the Company and the Holder. If the Warrant is unexercisable as a result of the Holder’s Beneficial Ownership Limitation, no alternate consideration is owing to the Holder.

 

(e) Forced Exercise. In the event that the Last Reported Sale Price (as defined in the Note) per Ordinary Share has equaled or exceeded twenty five dollars ($25.00) (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination, or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Ordinary Shares) for each of the most recent twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days (such period, the “Forced Exercise Period”), then the Company may, at its sole discretion, if the Equity Conditions (as defined below) are then satisfied, provide written notice in accordance with Section 5(i), to the Holder requiring the Holder to exercise this Warrant in full (and not in part) (the “Forced Exercise Notice”); provided, however, no forced exercise will be effected unless the Equity Conditions are satisfied on each Trading Day from and including the date of the Forced Exercise Notice through and including the date on which the corresponding consideration is delivered in accordance with this Section 2(e) (the “Closing Period”). The date of exercise with respect to any such forced exercise shall be the date upon which the Company delivers the Forced Exercise Notice to the Holder. The forced exercise shall be a cash exercise unless and to the extent that the Holder notifies the Company that such exercise shall be a deduction, effective upon the Holder’s receipt of the applicable Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to such Forced Exercise Notice (the “Forced Exercise Warrant Shares”), from the outstanding principal amount under the Note in an amount equal to any or all, at the Holder’s option, of such aggregate Exercise Price. So long as the Holder delivers the aggregate Exercise Price or a Principal Reduction Notice (or aggregate nominal value, if applicable) on or prior to the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Forced Exercise Notice has been delivered by the Company, then on or prior to the earlier of (i) the first (1st) Trading Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period, in each case, following the date on which the Forced Exercise Notice has been delivered by the Company, or, if the Holder does not deliver the aggregate Exercise Price or a Principal Reduction Notice (or the aggregate nominal value, if applicable) on or prior to the first (1st) Trading Day following

 

7

 

 

the date on which the Forced Exercise Notice has been delivered by the Company, then on or prior to the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the aggregate Exercise Price or a Principal Reduction Notice (or the aggregate nominal value, if applicable) is delivered (such earlier date, or if later, the earliest day on which the Company is required to deliver Forced Exercise Warrant Shares pursuant to this Section 2(e), also constituting a Warrant Share Delivery Date), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”), credit such aggregate number of Forced Exercise Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit / Withdrawal At Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Forced Exercise Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. “Equity Conditions” will be deemed to be satisfied as of any date if all of the following conditions are satisfied as of such date and on each of the twenty (20) previous Trading Days: (A) all shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are Freely Tradable; (B) the Holder is not in possession of any material non-public information; (C) the issuance of such shares will not be limited by Section 2(d)(ix); (D) such shares will satisfy Section 7(E)(i) of the Note (mutatis mutandis); (E) no pending, proposed or intended Fundamental Transaction has occurred that has not been abandoned, terminated or consummated; (F) 50% of the median daily dollar trading volume (as reported on Bloomberg) of the Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Global Market (or the principal, in terms of volume, Trading Market on which the Ordinary Shares are listed for trading) during the Forced Exercise Period is greater than the aggregate Exercise Price subject to such Forced Exercise; (G) no delisting or suspension by the principal, in terms of volume, Eligible Exchange (as defined in the Note) on which the Company is then listed or traded has been threatened (with a reasonable prospect of delisting or suspension occurring after giving effect to all applicable notice, appeal, compliance and hearing periods) or is reasonably likely to occur or pending as evidenced by (x) a writing by such Eligible Exchange or (y) the Company falling below the minimum listing maintenance requirements, if applicable, of such Eligible Exchange; and (H) no Event of Default (as defined in the Note) will have occurred that has not been waived and no Default (as defined in the Note) will have occurred and be continuing which has not been waived. “Freely Tradable” means, with respect to Warrant Shares issued or issuable pursuant to this Warrant, that (A) all such shares will be eligible to be offered, sold or otherwise transferred by the Holder pursuant to an effective registration statement and without any requirement for registration under any state securities or “blue sky” laws; and (B) all such shares are (or, when issued, will be) (i) represented by book-entries at DTC and identified therein by an “unrestricted” CUSIP number; (ii) not represented by any certificate that bears a legend referring to transfer restrictions under the Securities Act or other securities laws; and (iii) listed and admitted for trading, without suspension or material limitation on trading, on an Eligible Exchange.

 

3. Certain Adjustments.

 

(a) Share Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a share dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on Ordinary Shares or any other equity or Ordinary Share Equivalents payable in Ordinary Shares (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Warrant Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding Ordinary Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding Ordinary Shares into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of Ordinary Shares any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant remains unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.

 

8

 

 

(b) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Ordinary Share Equivalents or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Ordinary Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Ordinary Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such Ordinary Shares as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

(c) Subsequent Equity Sales. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (such period, the “Adjustment Period”), the Company issues, sells, enters into an agreement to sell, or grants any option to purchase, or sells, enters into an agreement to sell, or grants any right to reprice, or otherwise disposes of or issues (or announces any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition), or, in accordance with this Section 3(c), is deemed to have issued or sold, any Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents (excluding any Exempt Issuance (as defined below) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold) for a consideration per share (the “Dilutive Issuance Price”) less than a price equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such price is referred to as the “Applicable Price”) (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then simultaneously with the consummation (or, if earlier, the announcement) of such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the Dilutive Issuance Price (the “New Issuance Price”); provided that, no adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made, paid or issued under this Section 3(c) in respect of an Exempt Issuance. The Company shall notify the Holder, in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance or deemed issuance of any Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents subject to this Section 3(c), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 3(c), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the New Issuance Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the New Issuance Price in the Notice of Exercise. If the Company enters into a PubCo Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), the Company shall be deemed to have issued Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents at the lowest possible price, conversion price or exercise price at which such securities may be issued, converted or exercised. “Exempt Issuance” means the issuance of (A) PubCo Options (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or PubCo Convertible Securities (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) issued under any Approved Stock Plan (as defined below), so long as (i) the aggregate number of shares issued and issuable pursuant thereto does not exceed five percent (5%) of the Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the date hereof and (ii) the exercise price of any such PubCo Options is not lowered and the conversion price of any such PubCo Convertible Securities is not lowered, none of such PubCo Options or PubCo Convertible Securities are amended to increase the number of shares issuable thereunder and none of the terms or conditions of any such options are otherwise materially changed in any manner that adversely affects the Holder; or (B) the issuances of Underlying Shares (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement). An “Approved Stock Plan” means any security-based compensation plan which has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company prior to the date hereof, pursuant to which Ordinary Shares, options to purchase Ordinary Shares and other incentive equity awards may be issued to any employee, officer or director for services provided to the Company in their capacity as such, and not for the purpose of raising capital, pursuant to any agreement approved by the Board of Directors or the compensation committee thereof. The terms “PubCo Variable Rate Transaction,” “PubCo Options” and “PubCo Convertible Securities” shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is not the surviving entity.

i. Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants, issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to grant, issue or sell) any PubCo Options and the lowest price per share for which one Ordinary Share is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such PubCo Option or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Ordinary Share Equivalents issuable upon exercise of any such PubCo Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such Ordinary Share shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting, issuance or sale (or the time of execution of such agreement to grant, issue or sell, as applicable) of such PubCo Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 3(c)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one Ordinary Share is at any time issuable upon the exercise of any such PubCo Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Ordinary Share Equivalents issuable upon exercise of any such PubCo Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one Ordinary Share upon the granting, issuance or sale (or pursuant to the agreement to grant, issue or sell, as applicable) of such PubCo Option, upon exercise of such PubCo Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Ordinary Share Equivalent issuable upon exercise of such PubCo Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest exercise price set forth in such PubCo Option for which one Ordinary Share is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon the exercise of any such PubCo Options or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Ordinary Share Equivalents issuable upon exercise of any such PubCo Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such PubCo Option (or any other Person) upon the granting, issuance or sale (or the agreement to grant, issue or sell, as applicable) such PubCo Option, upon exercise of such PubCo Option and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any Ordinary Share Equivalent issuable upon exercise of such PubCo Option or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such PubCo Option (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Ordinary Shares or of such Ordinary Share Equivalents upon the exercise of such PubCo Options or otherwise pursuant to the terms of or upon the actual issuance of such Ordinary Shares upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Ordinary Share Equivalents.

 

ii. Issuance of Ordinary Share Equivalents. If the Company in any manner issues or sells (or enters into any agreement to issue or sell) any Ordinary Share Equivalents and the lowest price per share for which one Ordinary Share is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such Ordinary Share shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale (or the time of execution of such agreement to issue or sell, as applicable) of such Ordinary Share Equivalents for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 3(c)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one Ordinary Share is at any time issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one Ordinary Share upon the issuance or sale (or pursuant to the agreement to issue or sell, as applicable) of the Ordinary Share Equivalent and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Ordinary Share Equivalent or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof and (y) the lowest conversion price set forth in such Ordinary Share Equivalent for which one Ordinary Share is issuable (or may become issuable assuming all possible market conditions) upon conversion, exercise or exchange thereof or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Ordinary Share Equivalent (or any other Person) upon the issuance or sale (or the agreement to issue or sell, as applicable) of such Ordinary Share Equivalent plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Ordinary Share Equivalent (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Ordinary Shares upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Ordinary Share Equivalents or otherwise pursuant to the terms thereof, and if any such issuance or sale of such Ordinary Share Equivalents is made upon exercise of any PubCo Options for which adjustment of this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 3(c), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issuance or sale.

 

10

 

 

iii. Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any PubCo Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Ordinary Share Equivalents, or the rate at which any Ordinary Share Equivalents are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares increases or decreases at any time (other than proportional changes in conversion or exercise prices, as applicable, in connection with an event referred to in Section 3(a)), 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 PubCo Options or Ordinary Share Equivalents 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(c)(iii), if the terms of any PubCo Option or Ordinary Share Equivalent that was outstanding as of the Initial Exercise Date are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such PubCo Option or Ordinary Share Equivalent 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(c) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect.

 

iv. Calculation of Consideration Received. If any PubCo Option and/or Ordinary Share Equivalents and/or Adjustment Right is issued in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company (as determined by the Holder, the “Primary Security”, and such PubCo Option and/or Ordinary Share Equivalents and/or Adjustment Right, the “Secondary Securities” and together with the Primary Security, each a “Unit”), together comprising one integrated transaction, the aggregate consideration per Ordinary Share with respect to such Primary Security shall be deemed to be the lowest of (x) the purchase price of such Unit, (y) if such Primary Security is a PubCo Option and/or Ordinary Share Equivalent, the lowest price per share for which one Ordinary Share is at any time issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Primary Security in accordance with Section 3(c)(i) or 3(c)(ii) above and (z) the lowest VWAP of the Ordinary Shares on any Trading Day during the five (5) Trading Day period (the “Adjustment Period”) immediately following the public announcement of such Dilutive Issuance (for the avoidance of doubt, if such public announcement is released prior to the opening of the applicable Trading Market on a Trading Day, such Trading Day shall be the first Trading Day in such five Trading Day period and if this Warrant is exercised, on any given Exercise Date during any such Adjustment Period, solely with respect to such portion of this Warrant converted on such applicable Exercise Date, such applicable Adjustment Period shall be deemed to have ended on, and included, the Trading Day immediately prior to such Exercise Date). If any Ordinary Shares, PubCo Options or Ordinary Share Equivalents are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the net amount of consideration received by the Company therefor. If any Ordinary Shares, PubCo Options or Ordinary Share Equivalents 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 for such securities will be the arithmetic average of the VWAPs of such security for each of the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any Ordinary Shares, PubCo Options or Ordinary Share Equivalents 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, PubCo Options or Ordinary Share Equivalents (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 Holder. 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) Trading Days after the tenth (10th) day following

 

11

 

 

such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder. 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. For purposes of hereof, “Adjustment Right” means any right granted with respect to any securities issued in connection with, or with respect to, any issuance or sale (or deemed issuance or sale in accordance with this Section 3(c)) of Ordinary Shares that could result in a decrease in the net consideration received by the Company in connection with, or with respect to, such securities (including, without limitation, any cash settlement rights, cash adjustment or other similar rights).

 

v. 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, PubCo Options or in Ordinary Share Equivalents or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares, PubCo Options or Ordinary Share Equivalents, 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).

 

(d) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 3(c), the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment (without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein).

 

(e) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of 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, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Ordinary Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Ordinary Shares are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any Ordinary Shares as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

(f) Fundamental Transaction. If (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company (or any Subsidiary), directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s 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 or 50% or more of the voting power of the common equity of the Company, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of 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, (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons

 

12

 

 

whereby such other Person or group acquires 50% or more of the outstanding Ordinary Shares or 50% or more of the voting power of the common equity of the Company, or (vi) the transfer restrictions set forth in Section 5 of that certain Lock-Up Agreement, dated as of February 24, 2026, by and among Voyager Acquisition Corp., Veraxa Biotech AG and European Molecular Biology Laboratory (as in effect as of the Issuance Date and without giving effect to any amendments, amendments and restatements, supplements, or other modifications thereto after the Issuance Date), terminate in accordance with Section 5(a)(ii) thereof (each a “Fundamental Transaction”) then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(d)(ix) 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 Ordinary Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(d)(ix) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one Ordinary Share in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Ordinary Shares are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within thirty (30) days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder, as described below, an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s control, including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity, as of the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), valued at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Ordinary Shares of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Ordinary Shares are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction; provided further, that if holders of Ordinary Shares of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Ordinary Shares will be deemed to have received shares of the Successor Entity (which Successor Entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of (1) the 30 day volatility, (2) the 100 day volatility or (3) the 365 day volatility, each of clauses (1)-(3) as obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365-day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the greater of (i) the sum of the price per share being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the highest VWAP during the period beginning on the Trading Day immediately preceding the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction (or the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, if earlier) and ending on the Trading Day of the Holder’s request pursuant to this Section 3(f), (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, and (E) a zero cost of borrow. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five Business Days of the Holder’s election (or, if later,

 

13

 

 

on the date of consummation of the Fundamental Transaction). The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(f) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the Ordinary Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the Ordinary Shares pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall be added to the term “Company” under this Warrant (so that from and after the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally with the Company, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of this Section 3(f) regardless of whether the Company has sufficient authorized Ordinary Shares for the issuance of Warrant Shares.

 

(g) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of an Ordinary Share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of Ordinary Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Ordinary Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

 

(h) Notice to Holder.

 

(i) Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

(ii) Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Ordinary Shares, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Ordinary Shares, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Ordinary Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Ordinary Shares, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Ordinary Shares are converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by email to the Holder at its last email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the

 

14

 

 

Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Ordinary Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Ordinary Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Ordinary Shares for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 6-K or Form 8-K, as applicable. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

 

(i) Voluntary Adjustment By Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Trading Market, the Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant, subject to the prior written consent of the Holder, reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company.

 

4. Transfer of Warrant.

 

(a) Transferability. This Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an Assignment Form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

 

(b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

 

(c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

 

15

 

 

5. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) Currency. All dollar amounts referred to in this Warrant are in United States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”) unless otherwise stated. All amounts owing under this Warrant shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies shall be converted in the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “Exchange Rate” means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this Warrant, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal (New York edition) on the relevant date of calculation.

 

(b) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive cash payments pursuant to Sections 2(d)(ii), 2(d)(v) and 2(d)(vi) herein, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.

 

(c) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

 

(d) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Trading Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading Day.

 

(e) Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that during the period that the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its conditional share capital a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any rights to receive Warrant Shares under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued and delivered, as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Ordinary Shares may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares underlying this Warrant which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

 

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Ordinary Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

 

16

 

 

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

 

(f) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

(g) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state, federal or foreign securities laws.

 

(h) 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 or the Securities Purchase Agreement, 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.

 

(i) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

(j) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Ordinary Shares or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

 

(k) 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.

 

(l) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

 

(m) Amendment. This Warrant, other than this Section 5(m) and the provision restricting the amendment of Section 2(d)(ix), may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

 

(n) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

 

(o) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

(C) This Section 5(B) shall apply mutatis mutandis for any Swiss Withholding Tax being levied on the Company on any Ordinary Shares issued or delivered pursuant to this Note, if and to the extent such Withholding Tax is shifted to the Holder, in which case the Company shall pay such Additional Amounts as will result in the Holder being placed in the same situation as if no such Withholding Tax would have been shifted to it. For the avoidance of doubt, if any Swiss Withholding Tax results in a reduction of the number of Ordinary Shares deliverable to the Holder pursuant to this Note (whether by way of withholding of shares, reduction of the conversion ratio, or otherwise), the Company shall compensate the Holder by delivering such additional number of Ordinary Shares as is necessary to ensure that the Holder receives the same number of Ordinary Shares it would have received absent such Swiss Withholding Tax, or, if and to the extent the delivery of additional Ordinary Shares is not legally permissible or practicable, by paying to the Holder a cash amount equal to the value of such shortfall in Ordinary Shares, calculated based on the Daily VWAP on the applicable Conversion Date. For the sake of completeness, no Additional Amounts shall be payable (i) to the extent such Taxes are imposed as a result of the Holder’s failure to comply with any certification, identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements, if compliance is required by law, regulation, administrative practice or an applicable treaty as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, such Taxes or (ii) to the extent such Taxes are imposed as a result of any transfer, assignment or other disposition of this Note or any interest herein by the Holder in violation of any transfer restrictions set forth in this Note or in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

(D) Tax Indemnity. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Holder from and against any and all liabilities, losses, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and any Taxes, penalties and interest and including, for the avoidance of doubt, a reduction of the number of Ordinary Shares deliverable to the Holder pursuant to this Note) which the Holder may suffer or incur as a result of or in connection with (i) any Swiss Withholding Tax or other Tax being imposed on or withheld from any payment under this Note or in connection with any Ordinary Shares issued or delivered pursuant to this Note, (ii) any failure by the Company to comply with the Swiss Non-Bank Rules or any other requirement under Swiss tax law resulting in Swiss Withholding Tax becoming applicable to this Note or the payments or any action hereunder, or (iii) any breach by the Company of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Note relating to

 

20

 

 

Taxes; provided, however, that this indemnity shall not apply to the extent that such liabilities, losses, costs, damages or expenses (A) have already been compensated by the payment of Additional Amounts pursuant to this Section 5, (B) arise as a result of the Holder’s failure to comply with any certification, identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements applicable to the Holder or (C) arise as a result of any transfer, assignment or other disposition of this Note or any interest herein by the Holder in violation of any transfer restrictions set forth in this Note or in the Securities Purchase Agreement. Any amounts payable by the Company pursuant to this indemnity shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days of written demand by the Holder, accompanied by reasonable documentation evidencing such liabilities, losses, costs, damages or expenses.

 

(E) Company’s Election to Pay Partial Redemption Payments in Cash or Ordinary Shares. At least fifteen (15) Trading Days (but no more than twenty (20) Trading Days) prior to a Partial Redemption Date, solely at the Company’s option, the Company, if it desires to elect, may elect to make a Partial Redemption Payment with respect to such Partial Redemption Date entirely or partially in Ordinary Shares, by delivering to the Holder a written notice of such election, which notice shall (i) state which portion of the applicable Partial Redemption Payment the Company has elected to pay in Ordinary Shares (provided that such amount may only be in an Authorized Denomination), (ii) certify that the Equity Conditions are satisfied as of such date and (iii) specify whether such Ordinary Shares to be delivered shall be issued out of the Company’s conditional capital or the Company’s capital band, delivered out of the Company’s treasury shares, or purchased by the Company on the open market for delivery to the Holder (provided that, if the Company fails to include such specification on or after the Conditional Capital Amendment Effective Date, such Ordinary Shares to be delivered shall be deemed to be issued out of the Company’s conditional capital) (a “Partial Redemption Share Payment Notice”) (and such election shall be irrevocable as to such Partial Redemption Date). Failure to timely deliver such written notice and certification to the Holder shall be deemed an irrevocable election by the Company to pay the Partial Redemption Payment with respect to such Partial Redemption Date in cash. With respect to any Partial Redemption Date for which the Company has elected to make a Partial Redemption Payment (or any applicable portion thereof) in Ordinary Shares in accordance with this Section 5(E), the Holder shall have the right to convert such Partial Redemption Payment (or any applicable portion thereof) into Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 7 hereof at any time and from time to time on or after such Partial Redemption Date, allocating all or any portion of any applicable Partial Redemption Payment to any Conversion Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company will not have the right to, and will not, make any Partial Redemption Payment (or any applicable portion thereof) in Ordinary Shares if the Equity Conditions are not satisfied for each VWAP Trading Day occurring between the date of delivery of the Partial Redemption Share Payment Notice and the applicable Conversion Settlement Date (and the Company shall certify in writing to the Holder on the applicable Conversion Settlement Date that the Equity Conditions have continued to have been satisfied during such period) and such Partial Redemption Payment (or any applicable portion thereof) shall instead be satisfied by paying in cash an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of such Partial Redemption Payment (or any applicable portion thereof) that the Company has elected to pay in Ordinary Shares, together with the payment of any Default Interest corresponding to such Partial Redemption Payment (or portion thereof, if applicable), on the Business Day immediately following the calendar day on which such failure to satisfy the Equity Conditions occurred, in accordance with Section 5(A), unless such failure of the Equity Conditions to be so satisfied is waived in writing by the Holder, which waiver may be granted or withheld by the Holder in its sole discretion.

 

(F) Delay of Payment when Payment Date is Not a Business Day. If the due date for a payment on this Note as provided in this Note is not a Business Day, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, such payment may be made on the immediately following Business Day and no interest will accrue on such payment as a result of the related delay.

 

21

 

 

(G) Event of Default Share Payments. If an Event of Default occurs and the Company fails to pay the Event of Default Acceleration Amount when due in accordance with this Note, then the Holder may elect to receive such unpaid portion of the Event of Default Acceleration Amount, entirely or partially, in Ordinary Shares (an “Event of Default Share Payment”), and shall deliver to the Company a written notice of such election (an “Event of Default Share Payment Notice”) stating which portion thereof the Holder has elected to receive in Ordinary Shares and specifying whether the Holder elects to receive such Ordinary Shares from the Company’s treasury shares or, on or after the Conditional Capital Amendment Effective Date, conditional capital, it being understood that if the Holder elects to convert a portion of the Event of Default Acceleration Amount into an Event of Default Share Payment to be issued out of the Company’s conditional capital, the Event of Default Share Payment Notice shall refer to article 3a in the Company’s articles of association out of which such Ordinary Shares shall be issued. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder may not elect delivery of the Event of Default Share Payment out of the Company’s conditional share capital before the Conditional Capital Amendment Effective Date and, thus, no right to convert any portion of an Event of Default Acceleration Amount into an Event of Default Share Payment to be delivered out of the Company’s conditional share capital shall exist, unless the Company has sufficient conditional share capital out of which the Event of Default Share Payment may be issued and delivered. On or before the first (1st) Business Day following the date of delivery of any Event of Default Share Payment Notice hereunder (the “Event of Default Share Payment Delivery Date”), the Company shall issue and deliver to the Holder, a number of validly issued, fully paid and Freely Tradable Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient (rounded up to the closest whole number) obtained by dividing the Event of Default Acceleration Amount (or applicable portion thereof) by the Market Share Payment Price as of the date of delivery of the Event of Default Share Payment Notice; provided, that, if the Company fails to timely issue and deliver to the Holder such Ordinary Shares, then the Holder may revoke its election to receive Ordinary Shares and elect to receive such Event of Default Acceleration Amount (or any portion thereof) in cash at any time prior to delivery of such Ordinary Shares. Any portion of the Event of Default Acceleration Amount not paid in Ordinary Shares because the Holder did not elect, or effectively revoked its election, to receive Ordinary Shares for such Event of Default Acceleration Amount (or applicable portion thereof) will be paid in cash; provided, that the Holder may deliver multiple Event of Default Share Payment Notices in accordance with this Section 5(G) to the extent that any portion of the Event of Default Acceleration Amount remains unpaid when due in accordance with this Note.

 

Section 6. Required Repurchase of Note upon a Fundamental Change.

 

(A) Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change. Subject to the other terms of this Section 6, if a Fundamental Change occurs, then the Holder will have the right to require the Company to repurchase this Note (or any portion of this Note in an Authorized Denomination) on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date for such Fundamental Change for a cash purchase price equal to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.

 

(B) Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The Fundamental Change Repurchase Date for any Fundamental Change will be a Business Day of the Holder’s choosing that is no more than twenty (20) Business Days after the later of (x) the date the Company delivers to the Holder the related Fundamental Change Notice pursuant to Section 6(C); and (y) the effective date of such Fundamental Change.

 

(C) Fundamental Change Notice. No later than the tenth (10th) Business Day before the occurrence of any Fundamental Change, the Company will send to the Holder a written notice (the “Fundamental Change Notice”) thereof (provided, however, in no event shall such notice be required prior to the actual public announcement of such Fundamental Change), stating the expected date such Fundamental Change will occur. No later than the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date of delivery of the Fundamental Change Notice, the Holder shall notify the Company in writing whether it will require the Company to repurchase this Note and specify the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.

 

(D) Effect of Repurchase. If this Note (or any portion of this Note) is to be repurchased upon a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change, then, from and after the date the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Price is paid in full, this Note (or such portion) will cease to be outstanding and interest will cease to accrue on this Note (or such portion).

Section 7. Conversion.

 

(A) Right to Convert Upon Receipt of Partial Redemption Share Payment Notice.

 

(i) Generally. Subject to the provisions of this Section 7, each time, if any, that the Holder receives a Partial Redemption Share Payment Notice, the Holder may convert the applicable portion of the Partial Redemption Payment for which the Partial Redemption Share Payment Notice was given into Conversion Consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may not elect delivery of Consideration Shares out of the Company’s conditional share capital before the Conditional Capital Amendment Effective Date and, thus, no right to convert a Partial Redemption Payment into Consideration Shares to be delivered out of the Company’s conditional share capital shall exist, unless the Company has sufficient conditional share capital out of which the Ordinary Shares pursuant to the applicable Partial Redemption Payment may be issued and delivered.

 

(ii) Conversions in Part. Subject to the terms of this Section 7, this Note may be converted in part, but only in an Authorized Denomination. Provisions of this Section 7 applying to the conversion of this Note in whole will equally apply to conversions of any permitted portion of this Note.

 

(B) When this Note May Be Converted.

 

(i) Generally. Upon receipt of a Partial Redemption Share Payment Notice, the Holder may convert the Partial Redemption Payment (or any applicable portion thereof) at any time on or after the Partial Redemption Date with respect to which the Partial Redemption Share Payment Notice was delivered until the Close of Business on the first (1st) Scheduled Trading Day (or, if later, the standard settlement period for the primary Eligible Exchange (measured in terms of trading volume for its Ordinary Shares) on which the Ordinary Shares is traded) immediately before the Maturity Date.

 

(ii) Limitations and Closed Periods. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7, if this Note (or any portion of this Note) is to be repurchased upon a Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change, then in no event may this Note (or such portion) be converted after the Close of Business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately before the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; provided, that the limitations contained in this Section 7(B)(ii) shall no longer apply to this Note (or such applicable portion) if the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Price is not delivered on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date in accordance with Section 6.

 

(C) Conversion Procedures.

 

(i) Generally. To convert this Note, the Holder must complete, sign and deliver to the Company the conversion notice attached to this Note on Exhibit A or portable document format (.pdf) version of such conversion notice (at which time such conversion will become irrevocable) (a “Holder Conversion Notice”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder Conversion Notice may be delivered by e-mail in accordance with Section 13. If the Company fails to deliver, by the related Conversion Settlement Date, any Ordinary Shares forming part of the Conversion Consideration of the conversion of this Note, the Holder, by notice to the Company, may rescind all or any portion of the corresponding Holder Conversion Notice at any time until such Undelivered Shares are delivered.

 

(ii) Holder of Record of Conversion Consideration. The person in whose name any Ordinary Shares are issuable pursuant to this Note will be deemed to become the holder of record of such shares as of the Close of Business on the applicable Event of Default Share Payment Date or Conversion Date for such conversion, conferring, as of such time, upon such person, without limitation, all voting and other rights appurtenant to such shares; provided, that the Holder shall be deemed to have waived any voting rights of any such Ordinary Shares issued to the Holder that may arise during the period commencing on such Conversion Date or Event of Default Share Payment Date (as applicable), through, and including, such

 

23

 

 

applicable Conversion Settlement Date or Event of Default Share Payment Delivery Date, as necessary, such that the aggregate voting rights of any Ordinary Shares (including such Ordinary Shares issued to the Holder) beneficially owned by the Holder and/or any Attribution Parties, collectively, shall not exceed the Maximum Percentage as a result of any such conversion of this Note.

 

(iii) Taxes and Duties. The Company will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or duty due on the issue or delivery of any Ordinary Shares pursuant to this Note (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Ordinary Shares issued or delivered upon conversion of this Note or pursuant to an Event of Default Share Payment). In addition, if any Swiss Withholding Tax or other Tax is imposed on the conversion of this Note or the delivery of Ordinary Shares issued or delivered pursuant to this Note, and such Withholding Tax or other Tax is shifted to the Holder, including, for the avoidance of doubt, by way of a reduction of the number of Ordinary Shares issuable or deliverable to the Holder, the Company shall pay Additional Amounts as set out in and subject to the exceptions as set forth in Section 5(B) and Section 5(C).

 

(D) Settlement upon Conversion.

 

(i) Generally. The consideration (the “Conversion Consideration”) due in respect of each one thousand dollars ($1,000) Principal Amount of this Note, with respect to any portion of a Partial Redemption Payment for which the Holder has delivered a Holder Conversion Notice, will consist of the following:

 

(1) subject to Section 7(D)(ii), a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient (rounded up to the closest whole number) obtained by dividing the Principal Amount for which the Holder has delivered such Holder Conversion Notice by the Market Share Payment Price (the “Consideration Shares”); and

 

(2) cash in an amount equal to the aggregate accrued and unpaid interest on this Note to, but excluding, the Conversion Settlement Date for such conversion.

 

(ii) Fractional Shares. The total number of Ordinary Shares due in respect of any conversion of this Note pursuant to Section 5(E), Section 5(G) or this Section 7 will be determined on the basis of the total Event of Default Acceleration Amount or Principal Amount of this Note (as applicable) to be converted with the same Event of Default Share Payment Date or Conversion Date (as applicable); provided, however, that if such number of Ordinary Shares is not a whole number, then such number will be rounded up to the nearest whole number; provided further, that, if such rounding would result in the par value of the Ordinary Shares no longer being paid up, in lieu of rounding up such Ordinary Share, the Company shall pay to the Holder on the Conversion Settlement Date an amount in cash equal to such fractional Ordinary Share multiplied by the Daily VWAP on the applicable Conversion Date.

 

(iii) Delivery of the Conversion Consideration. The Company will pay or deliver, as applicable, the Conversion Consideration due upon the conversion of this Note to the Holder on or before the first (1st) Business Day (or, if earlier, the standard settlement period for the primary Eligible Exchange (measured in terms of trading volume for its Ordinary Shares) on which the Ordinary Shares are traded) immediately after the Conversion Date for such conversion (the “Conversion Settlement Date”). On and after the Conditional Capital Amendment Effective Date, if the Company elects in the applicable Partial Redemption Share Payment Notice, the related Consideration Shares shall be issued out of the Company’s conditional capital. If the Consideration Shares are not issued and delivered out of the Company’s conditional capital, the Company shall deliver the Consideration Shares out of its treasury or capital band, create such Consideration Shares by way of a capital increase (within the capital band or otherwise) or purchase such Consideration Shares on the open market.

 

24

 

 

(iv) Company Failure to Timely Deliver Share Payments. If (x) the Company shall fail for any reason or for no reason on or prior to the applicable Conversion Settlement Date or Event of Default Share Payment Delivery Date to deliver Ordinary Shares in accordance with Section 5(E), Section 5(G) or Section 7(C) (such shares to which Holder is entitled referred to as the “Undelivered Shares”); and (y) the Holder (whether directly or indirectly, including by any broker acting on the Holder’s behalf or acting with respect to such Undelivered Shares) purchases any Ordinary Shares (whether in the open market or otherwise) to cover any such Undelivered Shares (whether to satisfy any settlement obligations with respect thereto of the Holder or otherwise), then, without limiting the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedy available to it (whether hereunder, under applicable law or otherwise), the Holder will have the right, exercisable by notice to the Company, to cause the Company to either:

 

(1) pay, on or before the first (1st) Business Day after the date such notice is delivered (or, if earlier, the standard settlement period for the primary Eligible Exchange (measured in terms of trading volume for its Ordinary Shares) on which the Ordinary Shares are traded), cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price (including any brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket costs) incurred to purchase such shares (such aggregate purchase price, the “Covering Price”); or

 

(2) promptly deliver, to the Holder, such Undelivered Shares in accordance with this Note, together with cash in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Covering Price over the product of (x) the number of such Undelivered Shares; and (y) the Daily VWAP per Ordinary Share on the Event of Default Share Payment Date or Conversion Date relating to such conversion (as applicable).

 

To exercise such right, the Holder must deliver notice of such exercise to the Company, specifying whether the Holder has elected clause (1) or (2) above to apply. If the Holder has elected clause (1) to apply, then the Company’s obligation to deliver the Undelivered Shares in accordance with this Note will be deemed to have been satisfied and discharged to the extent the Company has paid the Covering Price in accordance with clause (1). Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Ordinary Shares as required pursuant to the terms hereof. In addition to the foregoing, if the Company fails for any reason to deliver Ordinary Shares to the Holder by the applicable Conversion Settlement Date or Event of Default Share Payment Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each one thousand dollars ($1,000) of Undelivered Shares (based on the Daily VWAP on the applicable Conversion Settlement Date or Event of Default Share Payment Delivery Date), ten dollars ($10) per Trading Day (increasing to twenty dollars ($20) per Trading Day on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Conversion Settlement Date or Event of Default Share Payment Delivery Date (as applicable) until the cash amount set forth in Section 7(D)(iv)(1) is paid to the Holder or the Ordinary Shares are delivered to the Holder pursuant to Section 7(D)(iv)(2).

 

(v) Effect of Conversion. If this Note is converted in full, then, from and after the date the Conversion Consideration therefor is issued or delivered in settlement of such conversion, this Note will cease to be outstanding and all interest will cease to accrue on this Note.

 

(E) Status of Ordinary Shares Issued upon Conversion.

 

(i) Status of Conversion Consideration; Listing. Each Ordinary Share delivered pursuant to this Note will be a newly issued share and will be duly and validly issued, fully paid in, non-assessable, free of any Lien or adverse claim (except to the extent of any Lien or adverse claim created by the action or inaction of the Holder or the Person to whom such share will be delivered). If the Ordinary Shares are then listed on any securities exchange, or quoted on any inter-dealer quotation system, then the Company will cause each Ordinary Share issued pursuant to this Note, when delivered, to be admitted for listing on such exchange or quotation on such system. Any Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to this Note will be issued in the form of book-entries at the facilities of DTC.

 

25

 

 

(ii) Transferability of Conversion Consideration. Any Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to this Note, if issued by the Company pursuant to an effective registration statement, will be identified therein by an “unrestricted” CUSIP number.

 

(F) Effect of Certain Recapitalizations, Reclassifications, Consolidations, Mergers and Sales.

 

(i) Generally. If there occurs any:

 

(1) recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Ordinary Shares (other than (x) changes solely resulting from a subdivision or combination of the Ordinary Shares, (y) a change only in par value or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value and (z) stock splits and stock combinations that do not involve the issuance of any other series or class of securities);

 

(2) consolidation, merger, combination or binding or statutory share exchange involving the Company;

 

(3) sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person; or

 

(4) other similar event,

 

and, in each case, as a result of such occurrence, the Ordinary Shares are converted into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities or other property (including cash or any combination of the foregoing) (such an event, an “Ordinary Share Change Event,” and such other securities or other property, the “Reference Property,” and the amount and kind of Reference Property that a holder of one (1) Ordinary Share would be entitled to receive on account of such Ordinary Share Change Event (without giving effect to any arrangement not to issue fractional shares of securities or other property), a “Reference Property Unit”), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Note, at the effective time of such Ordinary Share Change Event, (x) the Conversion Consideration due pursuant to any Note will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of Ordinary Shares in this Section 7 (or in any related definitions) were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; (y) for purposes of Section 7(A), each reference to any number of Ordinary Shares in such Section (or in any related definitions) will instead be deemed to be a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; and (z) for purposes of the definition of “Fundamental Change,” the term “Ordinary Shares” and “common equity” will be deemed to mean the common equity, if any, forming part of such Reference Property. For these purposes, (I) the Daily VWAP of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that consists of a class of common equity securities will be determined by reference to the definition of “Daily VWAP,” substituting, if applicable, the Bloomberg page for such class of securities in such definition; and (II) the Daily VWAP of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of common equity securities, and the Last Reported Sale Price of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of securities, will be the fair value of such Reference Property Unit or portion thereof, as applicable, determined in good faith by the Company (or, in the case of cash denominated in U.S. dollars, the face amount thereof).

 

If the Reference Property consists of more than a single type of consideration to be determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election, then the composition of the Reference Property Unit will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received, per Ordinary Share, by the holders of Ordinary Shares. The Company will notify the Holder of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

 

At or before the effective date of such Ordinary Share Change Event, the Company and the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not the Company) of such Ordinary Share Change Event (the “Successor Person”) will execute and deliver such instruments or agreements that (x) provides for subsequent conversions of this Note in the manner set forth in this Section 7(F) and (y) contains such other provisions as the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holder and

 

26

 

 

to give effect to the provisions of this Section 7(F). If the Reference Property includes shares of stock or other securities or assets of a Person other than the Successor Person, then such other Person will also execute such instruments or agreements and such instruments or agreements will contain such additional provisions the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holder.

 

(ii) Notice of Ordinary Share Change Events. As soon as practicable after learning the anticipated or actual effective date of any Ordinary Share Change Event, the Company will provide written notice to the Holder of such Ordinary Share Change Event, including a brief description of such Ordinary Share Change Event, its anticipated effective date and a brief description of the anticipated change in the conversion right of this Note.

 

(iii) Compliance Covenant. The Company will not become a party to any Ordinary Share Change Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 7(F).

 

(G) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect the conversion of any portion of this Note, or otherwise issue shares pursuant to this Note, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note and any such conversion or issuance shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion or issuance, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in the aggregate in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or issuance. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of Ordinary Shares held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of, or otherwise pursuant to, this Note with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of Ordinary Shares which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 7(G). For purposes of this Section 7(G), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. For purposes of this Note, in determining the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares the Holder may acquire in connection with this Note without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, Form 6-K or other public filing with the Commission, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) setting forth the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives a notice from the Holder related to the conversion of this Note or any issuance of Ordinary Shares in connection with this Note at a time when the actual number of outstanding Ordinary Shares is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder in writing of the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding and, to the extent that such conversion or issuance of Ordinary Shares would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 7(G), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to such notice. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of Ordinary Shares to the Holder upon conversion of, or otherwise pursuant to, this Note results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate

 

27

 

 

beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any Other Holder of Notes that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of this Note in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. No prior inability to convert this Note or receive shares pursuant to this Note pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 7(G) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 7(G) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

 

Section 8. Affirmative and Negative Covenants.

 

(A) Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. To the extent that it may lawfully do so, the Company (A) agrees that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law (wherever or whenever enacted or in force) that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note; and (B) expressly waives all benefits or advantages of any such law and agrees that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted to the Holder by this Note, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

 

(B) Corporate Existence. Subject to Section 9, the Company will cause to preserve and keep in full force and effect:

 

(i) its corporate existence and the corporate existence of its Subsidiaries in accordance with the organizational documents of the Company or its Subsidiaries, as applicable; and

 

(ii) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries;

 

provided, however, that the Company need not preserve or keep in full force and effect any such rights (charter and statutory), license or franchise or existence of any of its Subsidiaries if the Board of Directors determines in good faith that (x) the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; and (y) the loss thereof is not, individually or in the aggregate, materially adverse to the Holder.

 

(C) Ranking. All payments due under this Note shall rank (i) pari passu with all Other Notes, (ii) effectively senior to all unsecured indebtedness of the Company to the extent of the value of the Collateral securing the Notes for so long as the Collateral so secures the Notes in accordance with the terms hereof and (iii) senior to any Subordinated Indebtedness.

 

(D) Indebtedness; Amendments to Indebtedness. The Company shall not and shall not permit any Subsidiary to: (a) create, incur, assume, guarantee or be or remain liable with respect to any Indebtedness, other than Permitted Indebtedness; (b) prepay any Indebtedness except by the conversion of Indebtedness into equity securities (other than Disqualified Stock) and the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares in connection with such conversion or (c) amend or modify any documents or notes evidencing any Indebtedness. The Company shall not and shall not permit any Subsidiary to incur any Indebtedness that would cause a breach or Default under the Notes or prohibit or restrict the performance of any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ obligations under the Notes, including without limitation, the payment of interest and principal thereon.

 

28

 

 

(E) Liens. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume, permit or suffer to exist any Lien of any kind on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens.

 

(F) Investments. The Company shall not directly or indirectly acquire or own, or make any Investment in or to any Person, or permit any of its Subsidiaries so to do; provided that nothing herein shall prohibit the Company from making or holding Permitted Investments; provided, further, that the Company may not make any Investment (or make or hold a Permitted Investment) or permit any of its Subsidiaries to make any Investment (or make or hold a Permitted Investment) if (i) any Event of Default has occurred hereunder and has not been waived by the Required Holders or (ii) any event or circumstance has occurred and is continuing which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, could constitute an Event of Default with respect to Section 10(A)(ii), Section 10(A)(iv), Section 10(A)(vi), Section 10(A)(ix), Section 10(A)(x), Section 10(A)(xi), Section 10(A)(xiii), or Section 10(A)(xv).

If (1) at any time the number of Ordinary Shares reserved for issuance is not sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount or (2) the Required Holders provide a written request to the Company to increase the Post-Amendment Warrant Share Reserve, the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to reserve a sufficient number of Ordinary Shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of stockholders to authorize additional shares to meet the Company’s obligations pursuant to the Transaction Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, increasing the Post-Amendment Warrant Share Reserve pursuant to the Required Holders’ written request thereof), in the case of an insufficient number of reserved Ordinary Shares, obtain stockholder approval (if required) of an increase in such number of Ordinary Shares, and voting the management Ordinary Shares of the Company in favor of an increase in the Ordinary Shares of the Company to ensure that the number of reserved Ordinary Shares is sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount or Post-Amendment Warrant Share Reserve requested by the Required Holders, as applicable.

The Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, (i) issue any Notes (other than as contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Notes) or (ii) issue any other securities or incur any Indebtedness, in each case, that would cause a breach or Default under the Notes or that by its terms would prohibit or restrict the performance of any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ obligations under the Notes, including, without limitation, the payment of principal thereon.

 

(S) Independent Investigation. At the request of the Required Holders at any time the Required Holders have determined in good faith that (i) an Event of Default has occurred or (ii) any event or circumstance has occurred and is continuing which, with the giving of notice or passage of time or both, could constitute an Event of Default but the Company has not timely agreed to such determination in writing, the Company shall hire an independent, reputable investment bank (or, at the sole option of the Required Holders, an independent, reputable accounting firm) selected by the Company and approved by the Required Holders to investigate as to whether such Event of Default or event or circumstance has occurred (the “Independent Investigator”). If the Independent Investigator determines that such Event of Default or event or circumstance has occurred, the Independent Investigator shall notify the Company of such Event of Default or occurrence of such event or circumstance and the Company shall promptly deliver written notice to the Holder of such Event of Default if such Event of Default has occurred. In connection with such investigation, the Independent Investigator may, during normal business hours and upon signing a confidentiality agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, inspect all contracts, books, records, personnel, offices and other facilities and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries and, to the extent available to the Company after the Company uses reasonable efforts to obtain them, the records of its accountants (including the accountants’ work papers) and any books of account, records, reports and other papers not contractually required of the Company to be confidential or secret, or subject to attorney-client or other evidentiary privilege, and the Independent Investigator may make such copies and inspections thereof as the

 

31

 

 

Independent Investigator may reasonably request. The Company shall furnish the Independent Investigator with such financial and operating data and other information with respect to the business and properties of the Company as the Independent Investigator may reasonably request. The Company shall permit the Independent Investigator to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company with, and to make proposals and furnish advice with respect thereto to, any of the Company’s officers, directors, key employees and independent public accountants (and by this provision the Company authorizes said accountants to discuss with such Independent Investigator the finances and affairs of the Company and any Subsidiaries), all at such reasonable times, upon reasonable notice, and as often as may be reasonably requested.

 

(T) Upon delivery by the Company to the Holder (or receipt by the Company from the Holder) of any notice in accordance with the terms of this Note, unless the Company has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company shall on or prior to 9:00 am, New York City time on the Business Day immediately following such notice delivery date, publicly disclose such material, non-public information on a Form 6-K or otherwise. In the event that the Company believes that a notice contains material, non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company so shall indicate to the Holder explicitly in writing in such notice (or immediately upon receipt of notice from the Holder, as applicable), and in the absence of any such written indication in such notice (or notification from the Company immediately upon receipt of notice from the Holder), the Holder shall be entitled to presume that information contained in the notice does not constitute material, non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Nothing contained in this Section 8(T) shall limit any obligations of the Company, or any rights of the Holder, under the Securities Purchase Agreement.

The Company agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Holder based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Holder in connection with the Note. The Company acknowledges that the Holder shall have no obligation to (a) maintain the confidentiality of any information provided by the Company or (b) refrain from trading any securities while in possession of such information in the absence of a written non-disclosure agreement signed by an officer of the Holder that explicitly provides for such confidentiality and trading restrictions. In the absence of such an executed, written non-disclosure agreement, the Company acknowledges that the Holder may freely trade in any securities issued by the Company, may possess and use any information provided by the Company in connection with such trading activity, and may disclose any such information to any third party.

 

(V) The Company shall cause this Note and any Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to this Note and/or the Warrants to be eligible to be offered, sold or otherwise transferred by the Holder pursuant to Rule 144, without any requirements as to volume, manner of sale, availability of current public information (whether or not then satisfied) or notice under the Securities Act and without any requirement for registration under any state securities or “blue sky” law, on and after the date that is twelve (12) months following the Issue Date. If this Note is to be transferred, the Holder shall notify the Company and surrender this Note to the Company (or provide the Company an affidavit in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company that this Note was lost, stolen or destroyed), whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note, registered as the Holder may request.

(i) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, make any payment to Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. or any of its Affiliates in connection with a breach of the Company’s obligations or any other default by the Company pursuant to the Fee Modification Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a Default Payment (as such term is defined in the Fee Modification Agreement)).

 

(i) The Company shall at all times remain in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Fee Modification Agreement and shall not otherwise breach any terms or provisions of the Fee Modification Agreement, cause a default thereunder, or cause a Default Payment (as such term is defined in the Fee Modification Agreement) to become due.

(A) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person either (x) is the Company or (y) if not the Company, is a corporation (the “Successor Corporation”) duly organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia that expressly assumes (by executing and delivering to the Holder, at or before the effective time of such Business Combination Event, a supplement to this instrument) all of the Company’s obligations under this Note; and

 

33

 

 

(B) immediately after giving effect to such Business Combination Event, no Event of Default will have occurred that has not been waived and no Default will have occurred and be continuing which has not been waived.

 

At the effective time of any Business Combination Event, the Successor Corporation (if not the Company) will succeed to, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Note with the same effect as if such Successor Corporation had been named as the Company in this Note, and, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Company will be discharged from its obligations under this Note.

If an Event of Default set forth in Section 10(A)(xvii) or Section 10(A)(xviii) occurs with respect to the Company (and not solely with respect to a Significant Subsidiary of the Company), then the then outstanding portion of the Principal Amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, this Note will immediately become due and payable without any further action or notice by any Person.

 

(ii) Optional Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default set forth in Section 10(A)(xvii) or Section 10(A)(xviii) with respect to the Company and not solely with respect to a Subsidiary of the Company) occurs and has not been waived by the Holder, then the Holder, by notice to the Company, may declare this Note (or any portion thereof) to become due and payable on the Business Day immediately following the date of such notice for cash in an amount equal to the Event of Default Acceleration Amount.

 

(C) Notice of Events of Default. Promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day after an Event of Default, the Company will provide written notice of such Event of Default to the Holder (an “Event of Default Notice”), which Event of Default Notice shall include (i) a reasonable description of the applicable Event of Default, (ii) the date on which the Event of Default occurred and (iii) the date on which the Default underlying such Event of Default initially occurred, if different than the date on which the Event of Default occurred.

If a Default or an Event of Default occurs, then in each case, to the extent lawful, interest (“Default Interest”) will automatically accrue on the Principal Amount outstanding as of the date of such Default or Event of Default at a rate per annum equal to fifteen percent (15%), from, and including, the date of such Default or Event of Default, as applicable, to, but excluding, the date such Default is cured and all outstanding Default Interest under this Note has been paid. Default Interest hereunder will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and will be payable in arrears on the earlier of (i) the first day of each calendar month, (ii) the date such Default is cured, (iii) the date on which any portion of the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note is reduced or otherwise retired (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, Conversion Settlement Date, Partial Redemption Date, Holder Redemption Date, or any date that an Event of Default Acceleration Amount or Cash Sweep Payment is paid by the Company to the Holder), and (iv) the Maturity Date.

 

Section 11. Ranking.

 

All payments due under this Note shall rank (i) pari passu with all Other Notes, (ii) effectively senior to all unsecured indebtedness of the Company to the extent of the value of the Collateral securing the Notes for so long as the Collateral so secures the Notes in accordance with the terms hereof and (iii) senior to any Subordinated Indebtedness.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company, PubCo, Voyager and each Buyer hereby agree as follows:

 

1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF PURCHASED SECURITIES.

 

(a) Purchase of Securities. Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions set forth in Sections 8 and 9, as applicable, PubCo shall, in reliance upon the exemptions from securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D, issue and sell to each Buyer, and each Buyer severally, but not jointly, agrees to purchase from PubCo on the Closing Date (as defined below) the following Securities:

The date and time of the Closing (the “Closing Date”) shall be 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the first (1st) Business Day on which the conditions to the Closing set forth in Sections 8 and 9 are satisfied or waived (or such other date as is mutually agreed to by the Company and each Buyer). As used herein “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or any day on which commercial banks in the City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to close or be closed; provided, however, for clarification, commercial banks in the City of New York shall not be deemed to be authorized or required by law or executive order to close or be closed due to “stay at home”, “shelter-in-place”, “non-essential employee” or any other similar orders or restrictions or the closure of any physical branch locations at the direction of any governmental authority so long as the electronic funds transfer systems (including for wire transfers) of commercial banks in the City of New York are open for use by customers on such day.

 

(c) Securities Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price for the Purchased Securities to be purchased by each Buyer at the Closing (the “Securities Purchase Price”) shall be the sum of the amount set forth opposite such Buyer’s name in column (4) and column (5) on the Schedule of Buyers.

 

(d) Form of Payment for Purchased Securities. On the Closing Date, (i) each Buyer shall pay its respective Securities Purchase Price to the Company for the Purchased Securities to be issued and sold to such Buyer at the Closing Date set forth opposite such Buyer’s name in column (4) and column (5) on the Schedule of Buyers (net of expenses payable pursuant to Section 6(h)), by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with a Flow of Funds Letter (as defined below) with respect to the Purchased Securities and (ii) PubCo shall deliver to each Buyer the aggregate principal amount of the Purchased Notes as is set forth opposite such Buyer’s name in column (3) of the Schedule of Buyers, duly executed on behalf of PubCo and registered on the books and records of PubCo in the name of such Buyer or its designee; and (iii) PubCo shall deliver to each Buyer the Purchased Warrants exercisable for the aggregate number of Warrant Shares as is set forth opposite such Buyer’s name in column (6) of the Schedule of Buyers, duly executed on behalf of PubCo and registered on the books and records of PubCo in the name of such Buyer or its designee.

 

(e) Purchase Price Allocation. Each Buyer, the Company and PubCo agree that the Purchased Notes and the Purchased Warrants constitute an “investment unit” for purposes of Section 1273(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Buyers, the Company and PubCo mutually agree that the allocation of the issue price of such investment unit between the Purchased Notes and the Purchased Warrants in accordance with Section 1273(c)(2) of the Code shall be as set forth on the Schedule of Buyers, and neither the Buyers nor the Company nor PubCo shall take any position inconsistent with such allocation in any tax return or for any other purposes (including in any judicial or administrative proceeding in respect of taxes), except as may be otherwise required by applicable law.

2. BUYER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

 

Each Buyer, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company, Voyager and PubCo with respect to only itself that, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date:

 

(a) Organization; Authority. Such Buyer is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (as defined below) to which it is a party and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

 

(b) No Public Sale or Distribution. Such Buyer (i) is acquiring its Purchased Notes and Purchased Warrants, and (ii) upon exercise of, or otherwise in accordance with, its Purchased Notes or Purchased Warrants will acquire the Note Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, issuable upon exercise thereof, or otherwise in accordance therewith, in each case, for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof in violation of applicable securities laws, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the 1933 Act; provided, however, by making the representations herein, such Buyer does not agree, or make any representation or warranty, to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act. Such Buyer does not presently have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person (as defined below) to distribute any of the Securities in violation of applicable securities laws. For purposes of this Agreement, “Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, any other entity and any Governmental Entity (as defined below) or any department or agency thereof.

 

(c) Accredited Investor Status. At the time such Buyer was offered the Securities, it was and, as of the date hereof, such Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.

 

(d) Reliance on Exemptions. Such Buyer understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that each of the Company, PubCo and Voyager is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Buyer’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Buyer to acquire the Securities.

 

(e) Information. Such Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company, PubCo and Voyager and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities that have been requested by such Buyer. Such Buyer and its advisors, if any, have had (i) the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents and the PubCo SEC Documents and Voyager SEC Documents (each as defined below) and has been afforded the opportunity to ask such questions of the Company, PubCo and Voyager as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company, PubCo and Voyager concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about each of the Company, PubCo and Voyager and their respective financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company, PubCo or Voyager possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Buyer’s right to rely on the Company’s, PubCo’s or Voyager’s representations and warranties contained herein. Such Buyer understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. Such Buyer acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk and complete loss of its investment in the Securities and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment contemplated hereby. Such Buyer did not learn of the investment in the Securities as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising. Such Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities. Such Buyer is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, except for statements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company, PubCo or Voyager.

 

3

 

 

(f) No Governmental Review. Such Buyer understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.

 

(g) Transfer or Resale. Such Buyer understands that: (i) the Securities have not been registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred by any Buyer or any other holder of such Securities unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, (B) such Buyer shall have delivered to PubCo (if requested by PubCo), an opinion of counsel, in a form reasonably acceptable to PubCo, to the effect that such Securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, or (C) such Buyer provides PubCo with reasonable assurance that such Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the 1933 Act (or a successor rule thereto) (collectively, “Rule 144”); and (ii) any sale of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144, and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the 1933 Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder. Provided that no Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Notes) has occurred that has not been waived and no Default (as such term is defined in the Notes) has occurred and is continuing which has not been waived, any potential assignment or transfer of the Purchased Notes shall only be made to a Swiss Qualifying Bank (as defined herein) or with the prior written consent of PubCo, which consent of PubCo shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. PubCo will be deemed to have given its consent three (3) Business Days after the Buyer has requested such consent in writing unless consent is expressly refused by PubCo within that time. PubCo and the Buyers agree that consent shall not be withheld if, following such assignment or transfer, the Swiss 10 Non-Bank Rule would not be violated. For purposes of this Agreement, “Swiss 10 Non-Bank Rule” means the rule that the aggregate number of creditors of PubCo under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents which are not Swiss Qualifying Banks must not exceed ten (10) in accordance with the Swiss Guidelines. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Swiss Qualifying Bank” shall mean (i) any bank as defined in the Swiss Federal Code for Banks and Savings Banks dated November 1934 (Bundesgesetz über die Banken und Sparkassen), (ii) any person acting on its own account which is licensed as a bank under the banking laws in force in its jurisdiction of incorporation and any branch of a legal entity which is licensed as a bank under the banking laws in force in the jurisdiction where such branch is situated, and which, in each case, exercises as its main purpose a true banking activity, having its own bank personnel, premises, communication devices and decision-making power, all in accordance with the Swiss Guidelines (as defined herein), or (iii) a federal reserve or central bank (including supranational central banks such as inter alia the European Central Bank) and institutions with a similar function as a federal reserve or central bank in countries which do not have a federal reserve or central bank and the Bank for International Settlements (BIS). For purposes of this Agreement, the Parties shall assume that the number of creditors not being a Swiss Qualifying Bank under the Purchased Notes is at all times ten (10). Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the date that is six (6) months following the Closing Date, at the request of any Buyer, PubCo shall, if PubCo is then in compliance with Section 6(c) hereof, deliver to such Buyer or PubCo’s transfer agent, as applicable, an opinion of counsel to PubCo, at PubCo’s expense and in a form reasonably acceptable to such Buyer, that (x) adequate public information with respect to PubCo is then available (within the meaning of Rule 144(c)) and (y) a sale of the applicable Securities may be made in accordance with the terms of Rule 144. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Securities may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by the Securities and such pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and no Buyer effecting a pledge of Securities shall be required to provide the Company, PubCo or Voyager with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company, PubCo or Voyager pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including, without limitation, this Section 2(g).

 

4

 

 

(h) Validity; Enforcement. This Agreement, the Security Agreements and the Security Documents (as defined below) have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such Buyer and shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Buyer enforceable against such Buyer in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies. As used in this Agreement, “Security Documents” means the Security Agreements, the Control Agreements (as defined in the Notes), and each other agreement or instrument pursuant to or in connection with which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries grants a security interest in any Pledged Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreements) to the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party (as defined in the Security Agreements, the “Security Parties”), for its benefit and the benefit of the Holders (as defined in the Security Agreements), or pursuant to which any such security interest in Pledged Collateral is perfected, each as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof.

 

(i) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by such Buyer of this Agreement and the Security Documents and the consummation by such Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Buyer, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which such Buyer is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to such Buyer, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of such Buyer to perform its obligations hereunder.

 

(j) No Bad Actor Disqualification Event. Such Buyer represents, after reasonable inquiry, that none of the “Bad Actor” disqualifying events described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the 1933 Act (a “Disqualification Event”) is applicable to such Buyer or any of its Rule 506(d) Related Parties (if any). “Rule 506(d) Related Party” means a person or entity that is a beneficial owner of such Buyer’s securities for purposes of Rule 506(d).

 

3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.

 

The Company represents and warrants to each of the Buyers that, as of the date hereof and as of immediately prior to the closing of the deSPAC Transaction:

 

(a) Organization and Qualification. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries are entities duly organized and validly existing and in good standing (if a good standing concept exists in such jurisdiction) under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they are formed, and have the requisite power and authority to own their properties and to carry on their business as now being conducted. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing (if a good standing concept exists in such jurisdiction) in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined below). As used in this Agreement, “Company Material Adverse Effect” means any material adverse effect on (i) the business, properties, assets, liabilities, operations (including results thereof), condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (ii) the transactions contemplated hereby or in any of the other Transaction Documents or any other agreements or instruments entered into in connection herewith or therewith or (iii) the authority or ability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to perform any of their respective obligations under any of the Transaction Documents. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(a), the Company has no significant Subsidiaries within the meaning of Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X. “Subsidiaries” means any Person in which the Person in question, directly or indirectly, (I) owns any of the outstanding capital stock or holds any equity or similar interest of such Person or (II) controls or operates all or any part of the business, operations or administration of such Person, and each of the foregoing, is individually referred to herein as a “Subsidiary”.

 

5

 

 

(b) Authorization; Enforcement; Validity. The Company has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is or will be a party.

Without limitation of the foregoing, there has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company, there is not pending, contemplated or anticipated, any inquiry or investigation by the SEC involving the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any current or former director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. After reasonable inquiry of its officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) promulgated under the 1934 Act) and members of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Company is not aware of any fact which might result in or form the basis for any such action, suit, arbitration, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any reason to believe that it will be unable to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

 

(u) Employee Relations. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining agreement or employs any member of a union.

To the knowledge of the Company, no executive officer or other key employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and the continued employment of each such executive officer or other key employee (as the case may be) does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in material compliance with all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor, employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect.

The Company Real Property is free and clear of all Liens and are not subject to any rights of way, building use restrictions, exceptions, variances, reservations, or limitations of any nature except for (i) Liens for current taxes not yet due and (ii) zoning laws and other land use restrictions that do not impair the present or anticipated use of the property subject thereto. Any Company Real Property held under lease by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere in any material respect with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

(w) Fixtures and Equipment. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries (as applicable) has good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, the tangible personal property, equipment, improvements, fixtures, and other personal property and appurtenances that are used by the Company and its Subsidiaries to conduct their respective businesses (the “Company Fixtures and Equipment”). The Company Fixtures and Equipment are structurally sound, are in good operating condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted), are adequate for the uses to which they are being put, are not in need of maintenance or repairs except for ordinary, routine maintenance and repairs and are sufficient for the conduct of the Company’s and/or its Subsidiaries’ businesses (as applicable) in the manner as conducted prior to the date hereof and the Closing Date. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(w), each of the Company and its Subsidiaries owns all of its Company Fixtures and Equipment free and clear of all Liens except for (i) Liens for current taxes not yet due, (ii) zoning laws and other land use restrictions that do not impair the present or anticipated use of the property subject thereto and (iii) other Permitted Liens (as defined in the Notes).

None of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ Company Intellectual Property Rights, which are necessary to conduct their respective businesses, have expired, terminated or been abandoned, or are expected to expire, terminate or be abandoned, within three (3) years from the date of this Agreement. To the Company’s knowledge, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has, (i) infringed, misappropriated, diluted or violated the Company Intellectual Property Rights of others, (ii) violated any material term or provision of any contract concerning Company Intellectual Property Rights, (iii) violated any material right of any person (including any right to privacy or publicity), or (iv) conducted its business in a manner that would constitute unfair competition or unfair trade practices under the laws of any jurisdiction. There is no claim, action or proceeding being made or brought, or to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, being threatened, against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries regarding Company Intellectual Property Rights of others that would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect on the Company. The Company is not aware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing infringements or claims, actions or proceedings. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all trade secrets within the Company Intellectual Property Rights that are materially necessary to conduct their respective businesses.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by PubCo and the consummation by PubCo of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Securities, and the reservation of PubCo Ordinary Shares for issuance of the Underlying Shares) will not (i) result in a violation of the Amended Articles of Association (as defined below), certificate of formation, memorandum of association, articles of association, bylaws or other organizational documents of PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries, or any capital stock or other securities of PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) in any respect under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or (iii) assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties in Section 2 and the completion of the deSPAC Transaction, result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including, without limitation, foreign, federal and state securities laws and regulations, and, to the extent applicable the rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) and including all applicable foreign, federal and state laws, rules and regulations) applicable to PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such breaches, violations or conflicts as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a PubCo Material Adverse Effect.

(e) Consents. Neither PubCo nor any Subsidiary is required to obtain any consent from, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with (other than the Required Filings, filings necessary to perfect the Liens granted under the Security Agreements) and such consents, authorizations, filings or registrations the absence of which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a PubCo Material Adverse Effect, any Governmental Entity or any regulatory or self-regulatory agency or any other Person in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its respective obligations under or contemplated by the Transaction Documents, in each case, in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof. Other than the Required Filings, all consents, authorizations, orders, filings and registrations which PubCo or any Subsidiary is required to obtain pursuant to the preceding sentence have been or will be obtained or effected on or prior to the Closing Date, and neither PubCo nor any of its Subsidiaries are aware of any facts or circumstances which might prevent PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries from obtaining or effecting any of the registration, application or filings contemplated by the Transaction Documents. PubCo is not in violation of the requirements of Nasdaq, to the extent applicable, and has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which could reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of the PubCo Ordinary Shares.

 

(f) Acknowledgment Regarding Buyer’s Purchase of Securities. PubCo acknowledges and agrees that each Buyer is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and that no Buyer is (i) an officer or director of PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries or (iii) to its knowledge, a “beneficial owner” (as defined for purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the 1934 Act) of more than 4.99% of the shares of any voting class of PubCo Ordinary Shares. PubCo further acknowledges that no Buyer is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and any advice given by a Buyer or any of its representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to such Buyer’s purchase of the Securities. PubCo further represents to each Buyer that PubCo’s and each Subsidiary’s decision to enter into the Transaction Documents to which it is a party has been based solely on the independent evaluation by PubCo, each Subsidiary and their respective representatives.

 

(g) No General Solicitation; Placement Agent Fees. Neither PubCo, nor any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities. Neither PubCo nor any of its Subsidiaries has engaged any placement agent or other agent in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities.

 

(h) No Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Buyers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 2, none of PubCo, its Subsidiaries or any of their affiliates, nor any Person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act, whether through integration with prior offerings or otherwise, or cause this offering of the Securities to require approval of stockholders of PubCo in connection with the offering of the Securities for purposes of the 1933 Act. Except as contemplated by Section 6(y) of this Agreement, none of PubCo, its Subsidiaries, their affiliates nor any Person acting on their behalf has taken or will take any action or steps that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Securities under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of any of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings of securities of PubCo.

 

(i) Dilutive Effect. PubCo understands and acknowledges that the number of Underlying Shares will increase in certain circumstances. PubCo further acknowledges that its obligation to issue the Underlying Shares pursuant to the terms of the Notes and the Warrants, as applicable, in accordance with the terms thereof and this Agreement is absolute and unconditional regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of PubCo.

 

(j) Application of Takeover Protections. PubCo and the Board of Directors of PubCo have taken or will take prior to the Closing Date all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, interested stockholder, business combination, poison pill, stockholder rights plan or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Amended Articles of Association, bylaws or other organizational documents or the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation which is or could become applicable to any Buyer as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, PubCo’s issuance of the Securities and any Buyer’s ownership of the Securities.

(k) PubCo SEC Documents and Financial Statements. During the one (1) year prior to the date hereof and the Closing Date, PubCo has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms, proxy statements, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC (other than Section 16 ownership filings) pursuant to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act (reports filed in compliance with the time period specified in Rule 12b-25 promulgated under the 1934 Act shall be considered timely for this purpose) (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits and appendices included therein and financial statements, notes and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein being hereinafter referred to as the “PubCo SEC Documents”). PubCo has delivered or has made available to the Buyers or their respective representatives true, correct and complete copies of each of the PubCo SEC Documents not available on the EDGAR system. As of their respective dates, the PubCo SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the PubCo SEC Documents, and none of the PubCo SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of their respective dates, the financial statements of PubCo included in the PubCo SEC Documents complied in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect as of the time of filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of PubCo and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments which will not be material, either individually or in the aggregate). No other information provided by or on behalf of PubCo to any of the Buyers which is not included in the PubCo SEC Documents (including, without limitation, information referred to in the disclosure schedules to this Agreement) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, in the light of the circumstances under which they are or were made. PubCo is not currently contemplating to amend or restate any of the financial statements (including, without limitation, any notes or any letter of the independent accountants of PubCo with respect thereto) included in the PubCo SEC Documents (the “PubCo Financial Statements”), nor is PubCo currently aware of facts or circumstances which would require PubCo to amend or restate any of the PubCo Financial Statements, in each case, in order for any of the PubCo Financial Statements to be in material compliance with IFRS and the rules and regulations of the SEC. PubCo has not been informed by its independent auditors that they recommend that PubCo amend or restate any of the PubCo Financial Statements or that there is any need for PubCo to amend or restate any of the PubCo Financial Statements.

 

(l) Absence of Certain Changes. Since the date of PubCo’s audited financial statements contained in PubCo’s Registration on Form F-4 for the period from June 25, 2025 (inception) through June 30, 2025 (the “F-4 Financial Statements”), there has been no PubCo Material Adverse Effect. Since the date of the audited financial statements contained in the F-4 Financial Statements, except as set forth on Schedule 4(l), neither PubCo nor any of its Subsidiaries has (i) declared or paid any dividends, (ii) sold any assets, individually or in the aggregate, outside of the ordinary course of business, (iii) made any capital expenditures, individually or in the aggregate, outside of the ordinary course of business or (iv) made any revaluation of any of their respective assets, including, without limitation, writing down the value of capitalized inventory or writing off notes or accounts receivable or any sale of assets other than in the ordinary course of business.

 

(m) Insolvency. Neither PubCo nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any law or statute relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, liquidation or winding up, nor does PubCo or any Subsidiary have any knowledge or reason to believe that any of their respective creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any actual knowledge of any fact which would reasonably lead a creditor to do so. PubCo and its Subsidiaries, individually and on a consolidated basis, are not as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby to occur on the Closing Date, will not be Insolvent.

PubCo and each of its Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses, except where the failure to possess such certificates, authorizations or permits would not reasonably be likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a PubCo Material Adverse Effect, and neither PubCo nor any such Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authorization or permit.

 

(o) Corrupt Practices. Neither PubCo, any of PubCo’s Subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, employee thereof, nor, to PubCo’s knowledge, any agent or any other person acting for or on behalf of the foregoing (individually and collectively, a “PubCo Affiliate”) have violated any Anti-Corruption Laws, nor, to PubCo’s knowledge, has any PubCo Affiliate offered, paid, promised to pay, or authorized the payment of any money, or offered, given, promised to give, or authorized the giving of anything of value, to any officer, employee or any other person acting in an official capacity for any Governmental Entity to any political party or official thereof or to any Government Official or to any person under circumstances where such PubCo Affiliate knew or was aware of a high probability that all or a portion of such money or thing of value would be offered, given or promised, directly or indirectly, to any Government Official, for the purpose of:

 

(i) (A) influencing any act or decision of such Government Official in his/her official capacity, (B) inducing such Government Official to do or omit to do any act in violation of his/her lawful duty, (C) securing any improper advantage, or (D) inducing such Government Official to influence or affect any act or decision of any Governmental Entity, or

PubCo and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance in all material respects with any and all applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, that are effective as of the date hereof, and any and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder that are effective as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date.

Except as set forth on Schedule 4(q) upon the completion of the deSPAC Transaction, no current or former employee, partner, director, officer or shareholder (direct or indirect) of PubCo or its Subsidiaries, or any associate, or, to the knowledge of PubCo, any affiliate of any thereof, or any relative with a relationship no more remote than first cousin of any of the foregoing, is presently or has been (i) a party to any transaction with PubCo or its Subsidiaries (including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services by, or rental of real or personal property from, or otherwise requiring payments to, any such director, officer or shareholder or such associate or affiliate or relative (other than for ordinary course services as employees, officers or directors of PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries)) or (ii) the direct or indirect owner of an interest in any corporation, firm, association or business organization which is a competitor, supplier or customer of PubCo or its Subsidiaries (except for a passive investment (direct or indirect) in less than 5% of the common stock or ordinary shares, as applicable, of a company whose securities are traded on or quoted through an Eligible Market), nor does any such Person receive income from any source other than PubCo or its Subsidiaries which relates to the business of PubCo or its Subsidiaries or should properly accrue to PubCo or its Subsidiaries. No employee, officer, shareholder or director of PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries or member of his or her immediate family is indebted to PubCo or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, nor is PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries indebted (or committed to make loans or extend or guarantee credit) to any of them other than (i) for payment of salary for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred on behalf of PubCo or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and (iii) for other standard employee benefits made generally available to all employees or executives (including equity incentive agreements outstanding under any equity incentive plan approved by the Board of Directors of PubCo).

(i) Authorized and Outstanding Capital Stock. As of the date of this Agreement, the share capital of PubCo consists of 100,000 registered PubCo Ordinary Shares, of which, 100,000 are issued and outstanding; and no PubCo Ordinary Shares are reserved for issuance pursuant to PubCo Convertible Securities (as defined below) (other than the Notes and Warrants) exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, PubCo Ordinary Shares. As of the Closing, the share capital of PubCo is set forth on Schedule 4(r)(ii). “PubCo Convertible Securities” means any capital stock or other security of PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries that is at any time and under any circumstances directly or indirectly convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, or which otherwise entitles the holder thereof to acquire, any capital stock or other security of PubCo (including, without limitation, PubCo Ordinary Shares and any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase PubCo Ordinary Shares or PubCo Convertible Securities (collectively, “PubCo Options”)) or any of its Subsidiaries.

Schedule 4(r)(ii) sets forth the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares that are (A) reserved for issuance pursuant to PubCo Convertible Securities as of the date hereof and as of the Closing and (B) as of the date hereof and as of the Closing, owned by Persons who are “affiliates” (as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act and calculated based on the assumption that only officers, directors and holders of at least 10% of any class of PubCo’s issued and outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares are “affiliates” without conceding that any such Persons are “affiliates” for purposes of federal securities laws) of PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries. Except as set forth on Schedule 4(r)(ii), to PubCo’s knowledge, as of the date hereof and the Closing Date, no Person owns 10% or more of any class of PubCo’s issued and outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares (calculated based on the assumption that all PubCo Convertible Securities, whether or not presently exercisable or convertible, have been fully exercised or converted (as the case may be) taking account of any limitations on exercise or conversion (including “blockers”) contained therein without conceding that such identified Person is a 10% stockholder for purposes of federal securities laws).

(s) Indebtedness and Other Contracts. Except as set forth on Schedule 4(s) and, upon the completion of the deSPAC Transaction, Schedule 3(r), neither PubCo nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has any outstanding debt securities, notes, credit agreements, credit facilities or other agreements, documents or instruments evidencing Indebtedness of PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries or by which PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries is or may become bound; (ii) has any financing statements securing obligations in any amounts filed against PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries or with respect to any of their respective assets; (iii) is in violation of any term of, or in default under, any contract, agreement or instrument relating to any Indebtedness, except where such violations and defaults would not result, individually or in the aggregate, in a PubCo Material Adverse Effect, or (iv) is a party to any contract, agreement or instrument relating to any Indebtedness, the performance of which, in the judgment of PubCo’s officers, has or is expected to have a PubCo Material Adverse Effect. Neither PubCo nor any of its Subsidiaries have any liabilities or obligations required to be disclosed in the PubCo SEC Documents which are not so disclosed in the PubCo SEC Documents, other than those incurred in the ordinary course of PubCo’s or its Subsidiaries’ respective businesses consistent with past practices and which, individually or in the aggregate, do not or could not have a PubCo Material Adverse Effect.

 

(t) Litigation. There is no material action, suit, arbitration, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by Nasdaq, any court, public board, other Governmental Entity, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of PubCo, threatened against or affecting PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries (or pending or threatened by PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries), the PubCo Ordinary Shares or any of PubCo’s or its Subsidiaries’ officers or directors, whether of a civil or criminal nature or otherwise, in their capacities as such. To the knowledge of PubCo, no director, officer or employee of PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries has willfully violated 18 U.S.C. §1519 or engaged in spoliation in reasonable anticipation of litigation. Without limitation of the foregoing, there has not been, and to the knowledge of PubCo, there is not pending, contemplated or anticipated, any inquiry or investigation by the SEC involving PubCo, any of its Subsidiaries or any current or former director or officer of PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries. The SEC has not issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by PubCo under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act. After reasonable inquiry of its officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) promulgated under the 1934 Act) and members of the Board of Directors of PubCo, PubCo is not aware of any fact which might result in or form the basis for any such action, suit, arbitration, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding. Neither PubCo nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Entity.

 

(u) Insurance. PubCo and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of PubCo believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which PubCo and its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither PubCo nor any of its Subsidiaries has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for, and neither PubCo nor any of its Subsidiaries has any reason to believe that it will be unable to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a PubCo Material Adverse Effect.

 

(v) Employee Relations. Neither PubCo nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining agreement or employs any member of a union. PubCo and its Subsidiaries believe that their relations with their employees are good. No executive officer (as defined in Rule 501(f) promulgated under the 1933 Act) or other key employee of PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries has notified PubCo or any such Subsidiary that such officer intends to leave PubCo or any such Subsidiary or otherwise terminate such officer’s employment with PubCo or any such Subsidiary. To the knowledge of PubCo, no executive officer or other key employee of PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant with PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries, and the continued employment of each such executive officer or other key employee (as the case may be) does not subject PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. PubCo and its Subsidiaries are in material compliance with all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor, employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a PubCo Material Adverse Effect.

 

25

 

 

(w) Title. Each of PubCo and its Subsidiaries holds good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all real property, leases in real property, facilities or other interests in real property owned or held by PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, that is material to the business of PubCo (the “PubCo Real Property”). The PubCo Real Property is free and clear of all Liens and is not subject to any rights of way, building use restrictions, exceptions, variances, reservations, or limitations of any nature except for (i) Liens for current taxes not yet due and (ii) zoning laws and other land use restrictions that do not impair the present or anticipated use of the property subject thereto. Any PubCo Real Property held under lease by PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere in any material respect with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

(x) Fixtures and Equipment. Each of PubCo and its Subsidiaries (as applicable) has good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, the tangible personal property, equipment, improvements, fixtures, and other personal property and appurtenances that are used by PubCo and its Subsidiaries to conduct their respective businesses (the “PubCo Fixtures and Equipment”). The PubCo Fixtures and Equipment are structurally sound, are in good operating condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted), are adequate for the uses to which they are being put, are not in need of maintenance or repairs except for ordinary, routine maintenance and repairs and are sufficient for the conduct of PubCo’s and/or its Subsidiaries’ businesses (as applicable) in the manner as conducted prior to the date hereof and the Closing Date. Except as set forth on Schedule 4(x), each of PubCo and its Subsidiaries owns all of its PubCo Fixtures and Equipment free and clear of all Liens except for (i) Liens for current taxes not yet due, (ii) zoning laws and other land use restrictions that do not impair the present or anticipated use of the property subject thereto and (iii) other Permitted Liens (as defined in the Notes).

 

(y) Intellectual Property Rights. Upon the completion of the deSPAC Transaction, PubCo and each of its Subsidiaries shall own or possesses adequate rights or licenses to use all material trademarks, trade names, service marks, service mark registrations, service names, patents, patent rights, copyrights, original works, inventions, licenses, approvals, governmental authorizations, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights and all applications and registrations therefor that will be material to PubCo upon and after completion of the deSPAC Transaction and necessary to conduct their respective businesses as presently proposed to be conducted (the “PubCo Intellectual Property Rights”). None of PubCo’s or its Subsidiaries’ PubCo Intellectual Property Rights have expired, terminated or been abandoned or are expected to expire, terminate or be abandoned, within three years from the date of this Agreement. Neither PubCo nor any of its Subsidiaries has (i) infringed, misappropriated, diluted or violated the PubCo Intellectual Property Rights of others, (ii) violated any material term or provision of any contract concerning PubCo Intellectual Property Rights, (iii) violated any material right of any person (including any right to privacy or publicity), or (iv) conducted its business in a manner that would constitute unfair competition or unfair trade practices under the laws of any jurisdiction. There is no claim, action or proceeding being made or brought, or to the knowledge of PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries, being threatened, against PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries regarding PubCo Intellectual Property Rights of others that would reasonably be expected to have a PubCo Material Adverse Effect on PubCo. PubCo is not aware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing infringements or claims, actions or proceedings. PubCo and each of its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all trade secrets within the PubCo Intellectual Property Rights that are materially necessary to conduct their respective businesses. To the knowledge of PubCo, no third party is infringing, violating or misappropriating any PubCo Intellectual Property Rights, and there is no claim pending or proceeding regarding any such actual or alleged infringement, misappropriation or other violation of any PubCo Intellectual Property Rights. All former and current employees, contractors and consultants of PubCo who have contributed to the creation or development of the PubCo Intellectual Property Rights have executed a valid and enforceable agreement containing an irrevocable assignment to PubCo of all of their ownership and other rights therein, including to any invention, improvement or discovery. PubCo has not distributed, incorporated or otherwise used any “Open Source Code” (also known as “free software” (as defined by the Free Software Foundation) or “open source software” (as defined by the Open Source Initiative) or has not otherwise distributed publicly software under terms that permit modification and redistribution of such software) in a manner that would require that any of the proprietary software owned by PubCo or included in a PubCo product or service: (i) be made available or distributed in source code form; (ii) be licensed for the purpose of making derivative works; (iii) be licensed under terms that allow reverse engineering, reverse assembly or disassembly of any kind; or (iv) be redistributable at no charge. PubCo is in compliance with the terms and conditions of all licenses for free or Open Source Code.

(z) Environmental Laws. To PubCo’s knowledge, PubCo and its Subsidiaries (i) are in material compliance with any and all Environmental Laws, (ii) have received all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses and (iii) are in material compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval where, except in each of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), where the failure to so comply or having such permits, licenses or other approval would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a PubCo Material Adverse Effect.

 

(aa) Hazardous Materials.

 

(i) To PubCo’s knowledge, no Hazardous Materials have been disposed of or otherwise released from any PubCo Real Property in violation of any Environmental Laws.

 

(ii) To PubCo’s knowledge, no Hazardous Materials are present on, over, beneath, in or upon any PubCo Real Property or any portion thereof in quantities that would constitute a violation of any Environmental Laws or in quantities, a manner or location that would reasonably be expected to require remedial action pursuant to any Environmental Laws. No prior use by PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries of any PubCo Real Property has occurred that violates any Environmental Laws, which violation would have a PubCo Material Adverse Effect.

 

(iii) To PubCo’s knowledge, neither PubCo nor any of its Subsidiaries knows of any other Person that has stored, treated, recycled, disposed of or otherwise located on any PubCo Real Property any Hazardous Materials, including, without limitation, such substances as asbestos and polychlorinated biphenyls.

 

(iv) To PubCo’s knowledge, none of the PubCo Real Property is on (i) any federal or state “Superfund” list or CERCLIS list, (ii) any state environmental agency list of sites under consideration for CERCLIS, (iii) registered in any cadaster of polluted sites (Kataster belasteter Standorte) of any Canton of Switzerland, and, to PubCo’s knowledge, there are no contaminated sites, other pollutions in or on the soil or buildings of the PubCo Real Property with health- or environmentally hazardous or specially disposal-requiring substances, nor (iv) subject to any environmental related Liens.

 

(v) Neither PubCo nor its Subsidiaries is subject to any pending or, to PubCo’s and its Subsidiaries’ knowledge, threatened claim or proceeding to any Environmental Laws, except for any claims or proceeding that would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a PubCo Material Adverse Effect.

 

(bb) Tax Status. PubCo and each of its Subsidiaries (i) has timely made or filed all foreign, federal and state income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject through the date of this Agreement or have requested extensions thereof (except where the failure to file would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a PubCo Material Adverse Effect) and (ii) has timely paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested in good faith and for which reserves required by IFRS have been created in the financial statements of PubCo or for cases in which the failure to pay would not have a PubCo Material Adverse Effect. There is no tax deficiency that has been determined adversely to PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries which has had a PubCo Material Adverse Effect, nor does PubCo or its Subsidiaries have any knowledge or notice of any tax deficiency which could reasonably be expected to be determined adversely to PubCo or its Subsidiaries and which could reasonably be expected to have a PubCo Material Adverse Effect.

 

27

 

 

(cc) Internal Accounting and Disclosure Controls. Upon completion of the deSPAC Transaction, PubCo and each of its Subsidiaries shall have internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the 1934 Act) that is effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS, including that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS and to maintain asset and liability accountability, (iii) access to assets or incurrence of liabilities is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets and liabilities is compared with the existing assets and liabilities at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any difference. PubCo maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the 1934 Act) that are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by PubCo in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, including, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by PubCo in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is accumulated and communicated to PubCo’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and its principal financial officer or officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Since the filing of the F-4 Financial Statements, neither PubCo nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice or correspondence from any accountant, Governmental Entity or other Person relating to any potential material weakness or significant deficiency in any part of the internal controls over financial reporting of PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

(dd) Off Balance Sheet Arrangements. There is no transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries and an unconsolidated or other off balance sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by PubCo in its 1934 Act filings and is not so disclosed or that otherwise could be reasonably likely to have a PubCo Material Adverse Effect.

 

(ee) Investment Company Status. PubCo is not, and upon consummation of the sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof, will not be, an “investment company,” or a company controlled by an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

(ff) Acknowledgement Regarding Buyers’ Trading Activity. It is understood and acknowledged by PubCo that (i) following the public disclosure of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in the Press Release, none of the Buyers have been asked by PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries to agree, nor has any Buyer agreed with PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries, to desist from effecting any transactions in or with respect to (including, without limitation, purchasing or selling, long and/or short) any securities of PubCo, or “derivative” securities based on securities issued by PubCo or to hold any of the Securities for any specified term; (ii) any Buyer, and counterparties in “derivative” transactions to which any such Buyer is a party, directly or indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the PubCo Ordinary Shares which was established prior to such Buyer’s knowledge of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents; (iii) each Buyer shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counterparty in any “derivative” transaction; and (iv) each Buyer may rely on PubCo’s obligation to timely deliver PubCo Ordinary Shares as and when required pursuant to the Transaction Documents for purposes of effecting trading in the PubCo Ordinary Shares. PubCo further understands and acknowledges that following the public disclosure of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents pursuant to the Press Release one or more Buyers may have engaged and may after the date hereof engage in hedging and/or trading activities (including, without limitation, the location and/or reservation of borrowable PubCo Ordinary Shares) at various times prior to or during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods that the value and/or number of the Note Shares deliverable with respect to the Notes are being determined and such hedging and/or trading activities (including, without limitation, the location and/or reservation of borrowable PubCo Ordinary Shares), if any, can reduce the value of the existing stockholders’ equity interest in PubCo both at and after the time the hedging and/or trading activities are being conducted. PubCo acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging and/or trading activities do not constitute a breach of this Agreement, the Notes, the Warrants or any other Transaction Document or any of the documents executed in connection herewith or therewith.

5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF VOYAGER.

 

Voyager represents and warrants to each of the Buyers that, as of the date hereof:

 

(a) Organization and Qualification. Voyager is an entity duly organized and validly existing and in good standing (if a good standing concept exists in such jurisdiction) under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is formed, and has the requisite power and authority to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. Voyager is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing (if a good standing concept exists in such jurisdiction) in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Voyager Material Adverse Effect (as defined below). As used in this Agreement, “Voyager Material Adverse Effect” means any material adverse effect on (i) the business, properties, assets, liabilities, operations (including results thereof), condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Voyager, (ii) the transactions contemplated hereby or in any of the other Transaction Documents or any other agreements or instruments entered into in connection herewith or therewith or (iii) the authority or ability of Voyager to perform any of its obligations under any of the Transaction Documents. Voyager does not have, and has never had, any Subsidiaries.

 

(b) Authorization; Enforcement; Validity. Voyager has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by Voyager, and the consummation by Voyager of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have been duly authorized by Voyager’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors of Voyager”) and no further filing, consent or authorization is required by Voyager, its board of directors or its stockholders or other governing body in connection therewith. This Agreement has been, and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly executed and delivered by Voyager, and each constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Voyager, enforceable against Voyager in accordance with its respective terms, except (i) as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies and (ii) insofar as rights to indemnification and to contribution may be limited by applicable law. The Merger Agreement has not been amended since the Second Amendment and Waiver to the BCA and neither the Company, PubCo nor Voyager has waived any rights under the Merger Agreement except as set forth in the Second Amendment and Waiver to the BCA.

 

(c) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by Voyager and the consummation by Voyager of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) result in a violation of the Voyager Articles of Association (as defined below), certificate of formation, memorandum of association, articles of association, bylaws or other organizational documents of Voyager, or any capital stock or other securities of Voyager, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) in any respect under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which Voyager is a party, or (iii) assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties in Section 2 and the completion of the deSPAC Transaction, result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including, without limitation, foreign, federal and state securities laws and regulations, and, to the extent applicable the rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) and including all applicable foreign, federal and state laws, rules and regulations) applicable to Voyager or by which any property or asset of Voyager is bound or affected, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such breaches, violations or conflicts as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Voyager Material Adverse Effect.

 

(d) Consents. Voyager is not required to obtain any consent from, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with any Governmental Entity or any regulatory or self-regulatory agency or any other Person in order for it to execute, deliver or perform any of its respective obligations under or contemplated by the Transaction Documents, in each case, in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof. All consents, authorizations, orders, filings and registrations which Voyager is required to obtain pursuant to the preceding sentence have been obtained, and Voyager is not aware of any facts or circumstances which might prevent Voyager from obtaining or effecting any of the registration, application or filings contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Voyager is not in violation of the requirements of Nasdaq, to the extent applicable, and has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which could reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of Voyager’s Class A ordinary shares, $0.0001 par value (together with any share capital into which such ordinary shares shall have been changed or any share capital resulting from a reclassification of such ordinary shares, the “Voyager Ordinary Shares”).

 

33

 

 

(e) Voyager SEC Documents and Financial Statements. During the one (1) year prior to the date hereof, Voyager has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms, proxy statements, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC (other than Section 16 ownership filings) pursuant to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act (reports filed in compliance with the time period specified in Rule 12b-25 promulgated under the 1934 Act shall be considered timely for this purpose) (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits and appendices included therein and financial statements, notes and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein being hereinafter referred to as the “Voyager SEC Documents”). Voyager has delivered or has made available to the Buyers or their respective representatives true, correct and complete copies of each of the Voyager SEC Documents not available on the EDGAR system. As of their respective dates, the Voyager SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the Voyager SEC Documents, and none of the Voyager SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of their respective dates, the financial statements of Voyager included in the Voyager SEC Documents complied in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect as of the time of filing. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of Voyager as of the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments which will not be material, either individually or in the aggregate). No other information provided by or on behalf of Voyager to any of the Buyers which is not included in the Voyager SEC Documents (including, without limitation, information referred to in the disclosure schedules to this Agreement) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, in the light of the circumstances under which they are or were made. Voyager is not currently contemplating to amend or restate any of the financial statements (including, without limitation, any notes or any letter of the independent accountants of Voyager with respect thereto) included in the Voyager SEC Documents (the “Voyager Financial Statements”), nor is Voyager currently aware of facts or circumstances which would require Voyager to amend or restate any of the Voyager Financial Statements, in each case, in order for any of the Voyager Financial Statements to be in material compliance with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Voyager has not been informed by its independent auditors that they recommend that Voyager amend or restate any of the Voyager Financial Statements or that there is any need for Voyager to amend or restate any of the Voyager Financial Statements.

 

(f) Absence of Certain Changes. Since the date of Voyager’s audited financial statements contained in Voyager’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Voyager 10-K Financial Statements”), there has been no Voyager Material Adverse Effect. Since the date of the audited financial statements contained in the Voyager 10-K Financial Statements, Voyager has not (i) declared or paid any dividends, (ii) sold any assets, individually or in the aggregate, outside of the ordinary course of business, (iii) made any capital expenditures, individually or in the aggregate, outside of the ordinary course of business or (iv) made any revaluation of any of its assets, including, without limitation, writing down the value of capitalized inventory or writing off notes or accounts receivable or any sale of assets other than in the ordinary course of business.

 

(g) Insolvency. Voyager has not taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any law or statute relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, liquidation or winding up, nor does Voyager have any knowledge or reason to believe that any of its creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any actual knowledge of any fact which would reasonably lead a creditor to do so. Voyager is not as of the date hereof Insolvent.

 

(h) Listing and Trading; Regulatory Permits. (i) the Voyager Ordinary Shares have been listed or designated for quotation on the Nasdaq Global Market, (ii) trading in the Voyager Ordinary Shares has not been suspended by the SEC or Nasdaq and (iii) Voyager has received no communication, written or oral, from the SEC or Nasdaq regarding the suspension or delisting of the Voyager Ordinary Shares from the Nasdaq Global Market. Voyager possesses all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate regulatory authorities necessary to conduct its business, except where the failure to possess such certificates, authorizations or permits would not reasonably be likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Voyager Material Adverse Effect, and Voyager has not received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authorization or permit.

Voyager is in compliance in all material respects with any and all applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, that are effective as of the date hereof, and any and all applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder that are effective as of the date hereof.

 

(k) Transactions With Affiliates. Except as disclosed in the Voyager SEC Documents, no current or former employee, partner, director, officer or shareholder (direct or indirect) of Voyager, or any associate, or, to the knowledge of Voyager, any affiliate of any thereof, or any relative with a relationship no more remote than first cousin of any of the foregoing, is presently or has been (i) a party to any transaction with Voyager (including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services by, or rental of real or personal property from, or otherwise requiring payments to, any such director, officer or shareholder or such associate or affiliate or relative (other than for ordinary course services as employees, officers or directors of Voyager)) or (ii) the direct or indirect owner of an interest in any corporation, firm, association or business organization which is a competitor, supplier or customer of Voyager (except for a passive investment (direct or indirect) in less than 5% of the common stock or ordinary shares, as applicable, of a company whose securities are traded on or quoted through an Eligible Market), nor does any such Person receive income from any source other than Voyager which relates to the business of Voyager or should properly accrue to Voyager.

As of the date of this Agreement, the authorized share capital of Voyager consists of 200,000,000 Voyager Ordinary Shares, of which, 25,300,000 are issued and outstanding; 20,000,000, $0.0001 par value each, Voyager Class B Ordinary Shares, $0.0001 par value each, of which 6,325,000 are issued and outstanding; 1,000,000 Voyager preference shares, $0.0001 par value each, of which none are issued and outstanding; and no Voyager Ordinary Shares are reserved for issuance pursuant to Voyager Convertible Securities (as defined below) exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, Voyager Ordinary Shares. “Voyager Convertible Securities” means any shares or other security of Voyager or any of its Subsidiaries that is at any time and under any circumstances directly or indirectly convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, or which otherwise entitles the holder thereof to acquire, any shares or other security of Voyager (including, without limitation, Voyager Ordinary Shares and any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase Voyager Ordinary Shares or Voyager Convertible Securities (collectively, “Voyager Options”)) or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

35

 

 

(ii) Valid Issuance; Available Shares; Affiliates. All of Voyager’s outstanding shares in the share capital are duly authorized and have been validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. Schedule 5(l)(ii) sets forth the number of Voyager Ordinary Shares that are, as of the date hereof, owned by Persons who are “affiliates” (as defined in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act and calculated based on the assumption that only officers, directors and holders of at least 10% of any class of Voyager’s issued and outstanding Voyager Ordinary Shares are “affiliates” without conceding that any such Persons are “affiliates” for purposes of federal securities laws) of Voyager. Except as set forth on Schedule 5(l)(ii), to Voyager’s knowledge, as of the date hereof, no Person owns 10% or more of any class of Voyager’s issued and outstanding Voyager Ordinary Shares (calculated based on the assumption that all Voyager Convertible Securities, whether or not presently exercisable or convertible, have been fully exercised or converted (as the case may be) taking account of any limitations on exercise or conversion (including “blockers”) contained therein without conceding that such identified Person is a 10% stockholder for purposes of federal securities laws).

 

(iii) Existing Securities; Obligations. Except as set forth on Schedule 5(l)(iii): (A) none of Voyager’s shares, interests or capital stock is subject to preemptive rights or any other similar rights or Liens suffered or permitted by Voyager; (B) other than stock options, restricted share units, performance share units, deferred share units and other stock-based awards awarded to employees, directors and consultants of Voyager under equity incentive plans adopted by the Board of Directors of Voyager and described in the Voyager SEC Documents, there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, any shares, interests or capital stock of Voyager, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which Voyager is or may become bound to issue additional shares, interests or capital stock of Voyager or options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, any shares, interests or capital stock of Voyager; (C) there are no agreements or arrangements under which Voyager is obligated to register the sale of any of its securities under the 1933 Act; (D) there are no outstanding securities or instruments of Voyager which contain any redemption or similar provisions, and there are no contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which Voyager is or may become bound to redeem a security of Voyager; and (E) Voyager does not have any stock appreciation rights or “phantom stock” plans or agreements or any similar plan or agreement.

Voyager has furnished to the Buyers true, correct and complete copies of Voyager’s Amended and Restated Articles of Association, as amended, and as in effect on the date hereof (the “Voyager Articles of Association”), and all Voyager Convertible Securities and the material rights of the holders thereof in respect thereto, as in effect on the date hereof.

 

(m) Indebtedness and Other Contracts. Except as set forth on Schedule 5(m), Voyager (i) has no outstanding debt securities, notes, credit agreements, credit facilities or other agreements, documents or instruments evidencing Indebtedness of Voyager or by which Voyager is or may become bound; (ii) has no financing statements securing obligations in any amounts filed against Voyager or with respect to any of its assets; (iii) is not in violation of any term of, or in default under, any contract, agreement or instrument relating to any Indebtedness, except where such violations and defaults would not result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Voyager Material Adverse Effect, or (iv) is not a party to any contract, agreement or instrument relating to any Indebtedness, the performance of which, in the judgment of Voyager’s officers, has or is expected to have a Voyager Material Adverse Effect. Voyager does not have any liabilities or obligations required to be disclosed in the Voyager SEC Documents which are not so disclosed in the Voyager SEC Documents, other than those incurred in the ordinary course of Voyager’s business consistent with past practices and which, individually or in the aggregate, do not or could not have a Voyager Material Adverse Effect.

 

36

 

 

(n) Litigation. There is no material action, suit, arbitration, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by Nasdaq, any court, public board, other Governmental Entity, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of Voyager, threatened against or affecting Voyager (or pending or threatened by Voyager), the Voyager Ordinary Shares or any of Voyager’s officers or directors, whether of a civil or criminal nature or otherwise, in their capacities as such. To the knowledge of Voyager, no director, officer or employee of Voyager has willfully violated 18 U.S.C. §1519 or engaged in spoliation in reasonable anticipation of litigation. Without limitation of the foregoing, there has not been, and to the knowledge of Voyager, there is not pending, contemplated or anticipated, any inquiry or investigation by the SEC involving Voyager or any current or former director or officer of Voyager. The SEC has not issued any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by Voyager under the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act. After reasonable inquiry of its officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) promulgated under the 1934 Act) and members of the Board of Directors of Voyager, Voyager is not aware of any fact which might result in or form the basis for any such action, suit, arbitration, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding. Voyager is not subject to any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Entity.

 

(o) Insurance. Voyager is insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of Voyager believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which Voyager is engaged. Voyager has not been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for, and Voyager has no reason to believe that it will be unable to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Voyager Material Adverse Effect.

 

(p) Employee Relations. Voyager is not a party to any collective bargaining agreement and does not employ any member of a union. Voyager believes that its relations with its employees are good. No executive officer (as defined in Rule 501(f) promulgated under the 1933 Act) or other key employee of Voyager has notified Voyager that such officer intends to leave Voyager or otherwise terminate such officer’s employment with Voyager. To the knowledge of Voyager, no executive officer or other key employee of Voyager is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant with Voyager, and the continued employment of each such executive officer or other key employee (as the case may be) does not subject Voyager to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. Voyager is in material compliance with all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor, employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Voyager Material Adverse Effect.

 

(q) Title. Voyager holds good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all real property, leases in real property, facilities or other interests in real property owned or held by Voyager, as applicable, that is material to the business of Voyager (the “Voyager Real Property”). The Voyager Real Property is free and clear of all Liens and is not subject to any rights of way, building use restrictions, exceptions, variances, reservations, or limitations of any nature except for (i) Liens for current taxes not yet due and (ii) zoning laws and other land use restrictions that do not impair the present or anticipated use of the property subject thereto. Any Voyager Real Property held under lease by Voyager is held by it under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere in any material respect with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by Voyager.

 

(r) Fixtures and Equipment. Voyager has good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, the tangible personal property, equipment, improvements, fixtures, and other personal property and appurtenances that are used by Voyager to conduct its business (the “Voyager Fixtures and Equipment”). The Voyager Fixtures and Equipment are structurally sound, are in good operating condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted), are adequate for the uses to which they are being put, are not in need of maintenance or repairs except for ordinary, routine maintenance and repairs and are sufficient for the conduct of Voyager’s business in the manner as conducted prior to the date hereof. Voyager owns all of its Voyager Fixtures and Equipment free and clear of all Liens except for (i) Liens for current taxes not yet due, (ii) zoning laws and other land use restrictions that do not impair the present or anticipated use of the property subject thereto and (iii) other Permitted Liens (as defined in the Notes).

(s) Environmental Laws. Voyager (i) is in compliance with any and all Environmental Laws, (ii) has received all permits, licenses or other approvals required of it under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct its business and (iii) is in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval where, except in each of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), where the failure to so comply or having such permits, licenses or other approval would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Voyager Material Adverse Effect.

 

(t) Hazardous Materials.

 

(i) To Voyager’s knowledge, no Hazardous Materials have been disposed of or otherwise released from any Voyager Real Property in violation of any Environmental Laws.

 

(ii) To Voyager’s knowledge, no Hazardous Materials are present on, over, beneath, in or upon any Voyager Real Property or any portion thereof in quantities that would constitute a violation of any Environmental Laws or in quantities, a manner or location that would reasonably be expected to require remedial action pursuant to any Environmental Laws. No prior use by Voyager of any Voyager Real Property has occurred that violates any Environmental Laws, which violation would have a Voyager Material Adverse Effect.

 

(iii) To Voyager’s knowledge, Voyager does not know of any other Person that has stored, treated, recycled, disposed of or otherwise located on any Voyager Real Property any Hazardous Materials, including, without limitation, such substances as asbestos and polychlorinated biphenyls.

 

(iv) To Voyager’s knowledge, none of the Voyager Real Property is (i) on any federal or state “Superfund” list or CERCLIS list, (ii) any state environmental agency list of sites under consideration for CERCLIS, (iii) registered in any cadaster of polluted sites (Kataster belasteter Standorte) of any Canton of Switzerland, and, to Voyager’s knowledge, there are no contaminated sites, other pollutions in or on the soil or buildings of the Voyager Real Property with health- or environmentally hazardous or specially disposal-requiring substances, nor (iv) subject to any environmental related Liens.

 

(v) Voyager is not subject to any pending or, to Voyager’s knowledge, threatened claim or proceeding to any Environmental Laws, except for any claims or proceeding that would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Voyager Material Adverse Effect.

 

(u) Tax Status. Voyager (i) has timely made or filed all foreign, federal and state income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject through the date of this Agreement or has requested extensions thereof (except where the failure to file would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Voyager Material Adverse Effect) and (ii) has timely paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested in good faith and for which reserves required by GAAP have been created in the financial statements of Voyager or for cases in which the failure to pay would not have a Voyager Material Adverse Effect. There is no tax deficiency that has been determined adversely to Voyager which has had a Voyager Material Adverse Effect, nor does Voyager have any knowledge or notice of any tax deficiency which could reasonably be expected to be determined adversely to Voyager and which could reasonably be expected to have a Voyager Material Adverse Effect.

 

(v) Internal Accounting and Disclosure Controls. Voyager maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the 1934 Act) that are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by Voyager in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, including, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Voyager in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is accumulated and communicated to Voyager’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and its principal financial officer or officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Since the filing of the Voyager 10-K Financial Statements, Voyager has not received any notice or correspondence from any accountant, Governmental Entity or other Person relating to any potential material weakness or significant deficiency in any part of the internal controls over financial reporting of Voyager.

 

38

 

 

(w) Off Balance Sheet Arrangements. There is no transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between Voyager and an unconsolidated or other off balance sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by Voyager in its 1934 Act filings and is not so disclosed or that otherwise could be reasonably likely to have a Voyager Material Adverse Effect.

 

(x) Investment Company Status. Voyager is not an “investment company,” or a company controlled by an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

(y) Acknowledgement Regarding Buyers’ Trading Activity. It is understood and acknowledged by Voyager that (i) following the public disclosure of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in the Press Release, none of the Buyers have been asked by Voyager to agree, nor has any Buyer agreed with Voyager, to desist from effecting any transactions in or with respect to (including, without limitation, purchasing or selling, long and/or short) any securities of Voyager, or “derivative” securities based on securities issued by Voyager; (ii) any Buyer, and counterparties in “derivative” transactions to which any such Buyer is a party, directly or indirectly, presently may have a “short” position in the Voyager Ordinary Shares which was established prior to such Buyer’s knowledge of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents; and (iii) each Buyer shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counterparty in any “derivative” transaction. Voyager acknowledges that any such hedging and/or trading activities do not constitute a breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any of the documents executed in connection herewith or therewith. Voyager further understands and acknowledges that following the public disclosure of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents pursuant to the Press Release, one or more Buyers may have engaged and may after the date hereof engage in hedging and/or trading activities (including, without limitation, the location and/or reservation of borrowable Voyager Ordinary Shares) at various times prior to or during the period that the Securities are outstanding and such hedging and/or trading activities (including, without limitation, the location and/or reservation of borrowable Voyager Ordinary Shares), if any, can reduce the value of the existing stockholders’ equity interest in Voyager both at and after the time the hedging and/or trading activities are being conducted.

Neither Voyager nor, to Voyager’s knowledge (after reasonable inquiry of its officers and directors), any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or other representatives of Voyager or its affiliates, has, directly or indirectly, made or authorized any payment, contribution or gift of money, property, or services, whether or not in contravention of applicable law, (i) as a kickback or bribe to any Person or (ii) to any political organization, or the holder of or any aspirant to any elective or appointive public office to influence official action or secure an improper advantage, except for personal political contributions not involving the direct or indirect use of funds of Voyager.

The operations of Voyager are and have been conducted at all times in material compliance with the USA Patriot Act of 2001 and all other applicable U.S. and non-U.S. anti-money laundering laws and regulations, including, without limitation, the laws, regulations and executive orders and sanctions programs administered by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control, including, but not limited, to (i) Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001 entitled, “Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism” (66 Fed.

Voyager understands and confirms that each of the Buyers has relied on and will rely on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of Voyager. All disclosure provided by Voyager to the Buyers regarding Voyager, its business and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the schedules to this Agreement, furnished by or on behalf of Voyager is true and correct and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. All of the written information furnished after the date hereof by or on behalf of Voyager to each Buyer pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, taken as a whole, will be true and correct in all material respects as of the date on which such information is so provided and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary and without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true, the Company, PubCo and Voyager each expressly acknowledges and agrees that no Buyer shall have (unless expressly agreed to by a particular Buyer after the date hereof in a written definitive and binding agreement executed by the Company, PubCo or Voyager, as applicable, and such particular Buyer (it being understood and agreed that no Buyer may bind any other Buyer with respect thereto)), any duty of confidentiality with respect to, or a duty not to trade in the securities of the Company, PubCo or Voyager, as applicable, on the basis of, any material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries, or Voyager, as applicable.

The amounts set forth in the definition of Required Reserve Amount (including, without limitation, each increase in the number of shares so reserved) shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of the Notes, and Warrants based on the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to the Notes and Warrants (without regard to any limitations on exercise) (collectively, the “Authorized Share Allocation”). If (A) at any time the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares reserved for issuance is not sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount or (B) the Required Holders provide a written request to PubCo to increase the Post-Amendment Warrant Share Reserve, PubCo will promptly take all corporate action necessary to reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of stockholders to authorize additional shares to meet PubCo’s obligations pursuant to the Transaction Documents (including, for the avoidance of doubt, increasing the Post-Amendment Warrant Share Reserve pursuant to the Required Holders’ written request thereof), in the case of an insufficient number of reserved shares, obtain stockholder approval (if required) of an increase in such number of shares, and voting the management shares of PubCo in favor of an increase in the shares of PubCo to ensure that the number of reserved shares is sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount or Post-Amendment Warrant Share Reserve requested by the Required Holders, as applicable. In the event that a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder’s Notes or Warrants, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. Any PubCo Ordinary Shares reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Notes or Warrants shall be allocated to the remaining holders of the Notes and Warrants, pro rata based on the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to the Notes and Warrants then held by such holders thereof (without regard to any limitations on conversion).

 

(y) Registration Rights. Commencing upon completion of the deSPAC Transaction, PubCo shall:

 

(i) file a registration statement with the SEC as soon as practicable but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date with respect to the PubCo Securities (the “Filing Date”) to register for resale at least 11,000,000 Underlying Shares (the “Registrable Shares”) on Form F-1 or Form F-3 under the 1933 Act (providing for shelf registration of such Registrable Shares under SEC Rule 415) (such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, exhibit or amendment included in or relating to such registration statement being the “Resale Registration Statement”);

 

48

 

 

(ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Resale Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable and in any event within thirty (30) days of the filing thereof (or, in the event the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) reviews and has written comments to such Resale Registration Statement, within sixty (60) days of the filing thereof) (the “Effectiveness Deadline”), such efforts to include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, preparing and filing with the SEC any financial statements or other information that is required to be filed prior to the effectiveness of such Resale Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Amendments are not approved prior to the Effectiveness Deadline then (i) the number of Registrable Shares that shall be required to be registered on the Resale Registration Statement as of the Effectiveness Deadline shall instead be the maximum number of Registrable Shares that can be registered on the Resale Registration Statement as of the Effectiveness Deadline without giving effect to the Amendments (and which in no event shall be less than 2,391,305 PubCo Ordinary Shares) and (ii) PubCo shall file a post-effective amendment to the Resale Registration Statement as promptly as practicable after the approval of the Amendments and the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement to register all Registrable Shares that were not registered pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement filed pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i), and cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective within ten (10) Business Days after the filing of such post-effective amendment to the Resale Registration Statement, and the failure by PubCo to have such post-effective amendment be declared effective by such date shall constitute an Effectiveness Failure for purposes of Section 6(y)(xiii);

 

(iii) not less than two (2) Trading Days (as defined in the Notes) prior to the filing of such Resale Registration Statement or any related prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish via e-mail to the Buyers copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than any document that is incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) will be subject to the review of the Buyers. PubCo shall reflect in each such document when so filed with the SEC such comments regarding the Buyers and the plan of distribution as the Buyers may reasonably and promptly propose no later than two (2) Trading Days after the Buyers have been so furnished with copies of such documents as aforesaid;

 

(iv) promptly prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Resale Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Resale Registration Statement continuously effective and free from any material misstatement or omission to state a material fact therein until termination of such obligation as provided in Section 6(bb) below, subject to PubCo’s right to suspend pursuant to Section 6(aa) below;

 

(v) if, at any time while any Warrants are outstanding after the Amendments are approved the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to the Warrants is greater than the number of Warrant Shares registered for resale pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement (an “Adjustment Event”), then PubCo shall, within five (5) Business Days following such Adjustment Event, file a post-effective amendment to the Resale Registration Statement (or, if applicable, a new registration statement on Form F-1 or Form F-3 under the 1933 Act) to register the additional Underlying Shares issuable as a result of such Adjustment Event (an “Adjustment Registration Filing”), and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Adjustment Registration Filing to be declared effective as soon as practicable and in any event within thirty (30) days of the filing thereof (or, in the event the Staff reviews and has written comments to such Adjustment Registration Filing, within sixty (60) days of the filing thereof) (the “Adjustment Effectiveness Deadline”). Any new registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 6(y)(v) shall, upon filing, be deemed a “Resale Registration Statement” for all purposes of this Section 6(y) (including, without limitation, for purposes of Section 6(y)(xiii)) and Section 6(z), and references herein to the “Resale Registration Statement” shall be deemed to include such new registration statement. Without limiting the foregoing, the failure of PubCo to file an Adjustment Registration Filing within five (5) Business Days following an Adjustment Event, or the failure of an Adjustment Registration Filing to be declared effective by the SEC on or before the applicable Adjustment Effectiveness Deadline, shall constitute an Effectiveness Failure for purposes of Section 6(y)(xiii);

 

49

 

 

(vi) furnish to the Buyers such number of copies of prospectuses in conformity with the requirements of the 1933 Act and such other documents as the Buyers may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Registrable Shares by the Buyers;

 

(vii) file such documents as may be required of PubCo for normal securities law clearance for the resale of the Registrable Shares in such states of the United States as may be reasonably requested by the Buyers and use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such blue sky qualifications during the period PubCo is required to maintain effectiveness of such Resale Registration Statement; provided, however, that PubCo shall not be required in connection with this Section 6(y)(vii) to qualify as a foreign corporation or execute a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or has not so consented;

 

(viii) upon notification by the SEC that the Resale Registration Statement will not be reviewed or is not subject to further review by the SEC, PubCo shall within one (1) Trading Day following the date of such notification, request acceleration of such Resale Registration Statement (with the requested effectiveness date to be not more than two (2) Trading Days later);

(B) of any request by the SEC for amendments to the Resale Registration Statement or amendments to the prospectus or for additional information relating thereto;

 

(C) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement under the 1933 Act or of the suspension by any state securities commission of the qualification of the Registrable Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any of the preceding purposes; and

 

(D) of the existence of any fact and the happening of any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Resale Registration Statement, the prospectus and amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, untrue, or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Resale Registration Statement or the prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading;

(xiii) Effect of Failure to File and Obtain and Maintain Effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement. If (i) the Resale Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the Registrable Shares required to be covered thereby and required to be filed by PubCo pursuant to this Section 6(y) is (A) not filed with the SEC on or before the Filing Date (a “Filing Failure”) or (B) not declared effective by the SEC on or before the Effectiveness Deadline (an “Effectiveness Failure”), (ii) other than during a suspension permitted under Section 6(aa), on any day after the effective date of the Resale Registration Statement sales of all of the Registrable Shares required to be included on such Resale Registration Statement cannot be made pursuant to such Resale Registration Statement (including, without limitation, because of a failure to keep such Resale Registration Statement effective, a failure to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to such Resale Registration Statement, a suspension or delisting of (or a failure to timely list) the PubCo Ordinary Shares on an Eligible Market, or a failure to register a sufficient number of PubCo Ordinary Shares or by reason of a stop order) or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use for any reason (a “Maintenance Failure”), or (iii) if a Resale Registration Statement is not effective for any reason or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use for any reason, and either (x) PubCo fails for any reason to satisfy the requirements of Rule 144(c)(1), including, without limitation, the failure to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) or (y) PubCo has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or becomes such an issuer in the future, and PubCo shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (a “Current Public Information Failure”) as a result of which any of the Buyers are unable to sell Registrable Shares without restriction under Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions), then, as partial relief for the damages to any holder by reason of any such delay in, or reduction of, its ability to sell the underlying shares (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, specific performance), PubCo shall pay to each Buyer on each Registration Delay Payment Date (as defined below) an amount in cash equal to two percent (2%) of the sum of (A) the principal amount of such Buyer’s Note outstanding as of such Registration Delay Payment Date and (B) the product of the Warrant Shares underlying such Buyer’s Warrant as of the Trading Day (as defined in the Warrants) immediately preceding the Registration Delay Payment Date and the Daily VWAP (as defined in the Notes) on such date. A “Registration Delay Payment Date” is (1) the date of such Filing Failure, Effectiveness Failure, Maintenance Failure or Current Public Information Failure, as applicable, and (2) every thirty (30) day anniversary of (I) a Filing Failure until such Filing Failure is cured; (II) an Effectiveness Failure until such Effectiveness Failure is cured; (III) a Maintenance Failure until such Maintenance Failure is cured; and (IV) a Current Public Information Failure until the earlier of (i) the date such Current Public Information Failure is cured and (ii) such time that such public information is no longer required pursuant to Rule 144 (in each case, prorated for periods totaling less than thirty (30) days). The payments to which a Buyer shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 6(y)(xiii) are referred to herein as “Registration Delay Payments.” Following the initial Registration Delay Payment for any particular event or failure, without limiting the foregoing, if an event or failure giving rise to the Registration Delay Payments is cured prior to any thirty (30) day anniversary of such event or failure, then the Registration Delay Payment Date for such Registration Delay Payment shall be deemed to be the third (3rd) Business Day after such cure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Registration Delay Payments shall be owed to a Buyer (other than with respect to a Maintenance Failure resulting from a suspension or delisting of (or a failure to timely list) the PubCo Ordinary Shares on an Eligible Market) with respect to any period during which all of such Buyer’s Registrable Shares may be sold by such Buyer without restriction under Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) and without the need for current public information required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable).

(z) Registration Rights Indemnification.

 

(i) PubCo agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyers and their respective affiliates, partners, members, officers, directors, agents, brokers and representatives, and each person, if any, who controls a Buyer within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act (each, a “Purchaser Party” and collectively the “Purchaser Parties”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, “Losses”) to which they may become subject (under the 1933 Act or otherwise) insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Resale Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or arise out of any failure by PubCo to fulfill any undertaking included in the Resale Registration Statement and PubCo will, as incurred, reimburse the Purchaser Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that PubCo shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such Loss arises out of, or is based upon an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in the Resale Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to PubCo by or on behalf of the Buyers specifically for use in preparation of the Resale Registration Statement.

 

(ii) The Buyers agree to indemnify and hold harmless PubCo and its officers, directors, affiliates, agents, brokers and representatives and each person, if any, who controls PubCo within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act (each a “PubCo Party” and collectively the “PubCo Parties”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any Losses to which the PubCo Parties may become subject (under the 1933 Act or otherwise), insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Resale Registration Statement (or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in each case, on the effective date thereof), if, and only to the extent, such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of the Buyers specifically for use in preparation of the Resale Registration Statement, and the Buyers will, as incurred, reimburse each PubCo Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 6(z) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Buyers upon their sale of Registrable Shares included in the Resale Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

(iii) Promptly after receipt by any indemnified person of a notice of a claim or the beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 6(z), such indemnified person shall notify the indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action, and, subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an indemnified person and such indemnifying person shall have been notified thereof, such indemnifying person shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person. After notice from the indemnifying person to such indemnified person of its election to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if there exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified person for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified person and such indemnifying person or any affiliate or associate thereof, the indemnified person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the expense of such indemnifying person. The indemnifying party shall not settle an action without the consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

52

 

 

(iv) If after proper notice of a claim or the commencement of any action against the indemnified party, the indemnifying party does not choose to participate, then the indemnified party shall assume the defense thereof and upon written notice by the indemnified party requesting advance payment of a stated amount for its reasonable defense costs and expenses, the indemnifying party shall advance payment for such reasonable defense costs and expenses (the “Advance Indemnification Payment”) to the indemnified party. In the event that the indemnified party’s actual defense costs and expenses exceed the amount of the Advance Indemnification Payment, then upon written request by the indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall reimburse the indemnified party for such difference; in the event that the Advance Indemnification Payment exceeds the indemnified party’s actual costs and expenses, the indemnified party shall promptly remit payment of such difference to the indemnifying party.

 

(v) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6(z) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by an indemnifying party hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such indemnifying party upon the sale of such Registrable Shares.

 

(aa) Suspensions. The Buyers acknowledge that there may be times when PubCo must suspend the use of the prospectus forming a part of the Resale Registration Statement until such time as an amendment to such Resale Registration Statement has been filed by PubCo and declared effective by the SEC, or until such time as PubCo has filed an appropriate report with the SEC pursuant to the 1934 Act. The Buyers hereby covenant that they will not sell any Registrable Shares pursuant to said prospectus during the period commencing at the time at which PubCo gives the Buyers notice of the suspension of the use of said prospectus and ending at the time PubCo gives the Buyers notice that the Buyers may thereafter effect sales pursuant to said prospectus; provided, that such suspension periods shall in no event exceed thirty (30) days in any twelve (12)-month period and that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of PubCo, PubCo would, in the absence of such delay or suspension hereunder, be required under state or federal securities laws to disclose any corporate development, a potentially significant transaction or event involving PubCo, or any negotiations, discussions, or proposals directly relating thereto, in either case the disclosure of which would reasonably be expected to have a PubCo Material Adverse Effect upon PubCo or its stockholders.

 

(bb) Termination of Registration Rights. The obligations of PubCo pursuant to Section 6(y) hereof shall cease and terminate, with respect to any Registrable Shares, upon such time as such Registrable Shares have been resold in a transaction pursuant to which all restrictive legends were removed from such securities.

 

(cc) Not an Underwriter. Neither the Company, PubCo, Voyager nor any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof shall identify any Buyer as being an underwriter or potentially being an “underwriter” in any disclosure to, or filing with, the SEC, Nasdaq or any other Eligible Market. No Buyer shall be required to agree or admit that it is, or may be, acting as an “underwriter” in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or agree to be named as an underwriter or as potentially being an underwriter in any public disclosure or filing with the SEC, Nasdaq or any other Eligible Market, nor shall any Buyer be required to make any representations to, or undertake any obligations to, the SEC in connection with any registration statement filed by the Company, PubCo or Voyager. Any Buyer being deemed an underwriter, or potentially to be an underwriter, by the SEC shall not relieve the Company, PubCo or Voyager of any obligations it has under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

 

(dd) Merger Agreement. Each of the Company, PubCo and Voyager hereby agrees not to alter, modify or amend the Merger Agreement or waive any rights thereunder without the prior written consent of the Required Holders.

 

53

 

 

(ee) Voting and Lock-Up Agreements.

 

(i) Except as set forth in Section 9(z), each of the Company, PubCo and Voyager shall, and shall cause its and their respective Subsidiaries to, not amend, modify or waive any provision of any of the Voting Agreements or Lock-Up Agreements, and shall, and shall cause its and their respective Subsidiaries to, enforce the provisions of each Voting Agreement and Lock-Up Agreement in accordance with its terms. If any party to a Voting Agreement or Lock-Up Agreement breaches any provision of a Voting Agreement or Lock-Up Agreement, each of the Company, PubCo and Voyager, as applicable, shall, and shall cause its and their respective Subsidiaries to, promptly use its or their best efforts to seek specific performance of the terms thereof, as applicable. In addition, none of the Company, PubCo or Voyager shall, nor shall any of them permit its or their respective Subsidiaries to, consent to any actions under the Lock-Up Agreements that would require the consent of the Company, PubCo, Voyager or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

 

(ii) Until the date that the Amendments are registered in the commercial register of Switzerland, the parties to the Voting Agreements shall collectively hold an aggregate of at least sixty six and sixty seven hundredths percent (66.67%) of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares, and PubCo shall not take any action (including, for the avoidance of doubt, effecting any Equity Issuances (as defined in the Notes)) that would result in the parties to the Voting Agreements collectively holding an aggregate of less than sixty six and sixty seven hundredths percent (66.67%) of the outstanding PubCo Ordinary Shares.

 

(ff) Underwriter Compensation. The Company, Voyager and PubCo shall not, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries not to, pay or otherwise deliver, directly or indirectly, Underwriter Compensation, other than (i) cash in an amount equal to or less than (x) at the Closing (as defined in the Fee Modification Agreement), five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) and (y) on or after the one year anniversary of the Closing (as defined in the Fee Modification Agreement), five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) and (ii) PubCo Ordinary Shares in an amount not to exceed in the aggregate seven million dollars ($7,000,000) in PubCo Ordinary Shares at a price per share calculated pursuant to the formula set forth in the Fee Modification Agreement.

Within seven (7) Business Days following the Closing Date, PubCo shall deliver to the Buyers a letter from the Transfer Agent certifying the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares outstanding after giving effect to all transactions contemplated by the Proxy Statement/Prospectus filed by Voyager Acquisition Corp. on February 19, 2026, including the redemptions and share issuances described therein.

 

(hh) Swiss 10 Non-Bank Rule and Swiss 20 Non-Bank Rule. PubCo shall be in compliance with the Swiss 10 Non-Bank Rule and the Swiss 20 Non-Bank Rule, if and as long as a violation of these rules results in Swiss Withholding Tax consequences for PubCo. For purposes of this Agreement, PubCo shall assume that the number of creditors not being a Swiss Qualifying Bank under the Purchased Notes is at all times ten (10).

 

(ii) Covered Patent Applications. The Company, or, following the completion of the deSPAC Transaction, PubCo, shall use its best efforts to cause each Covered Inventor (as defined below), within three (3) Business Days of the determination thereof, to execute a valid and enforceable agreement containing an irrevocable assignment to the Company or its Subsidiary, or, following the completion of the deSPAC Transaction, to PubCo or its Subsidiary, of all of their ownership and other rights therein, including to any invention, improvement or discovery, related to the Company Intellectual Property Rights related to the Covered Patent Applications (as defined below); provided, that in any event the Company or PubCo (as applicable) shall cause each such Covered Inventor to execute such agreement within ten (10) Business Days of the determination thereof. The “Covered Patent Applications” shall be the patent applications identified on Schedule 3(x) that were filed on March 16, 2026.

7. REGISTER; TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.

 

(a) Register. PubCo shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of PubCo as it may designate by notice to each holder of Securities), a register for registration of the Securities in which PubCo shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name the Purchased Notes and Warrants have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee), the aggregate amount of the Notes and Warrants held by such Person and the number of Underlying Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of the Notes and Warrants held by such Person. PubCo shall keep such register open and available at all times during business hours for inspection of any Buyer or its legal representatives. This provision shall be construed such that the Securities are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meanings of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

(b) Transfer Agent Instructions. PubCo shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent and any subsequent transfer agent (as applicable) (the “Transfer Agent”) in a form acceptable to each of the Buyers (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”) to credit shares, when issued, to each such Buyer’s (or its designee’s) account at DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian (“DWAC”) System, provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”) and the shares are then eligible for transfer through the DWAC System, or, if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST or if the shares are not then eligible for transfer through the DWAC system, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to the address as specified in (x) the conversion or exercise notice of the Notes or Warrants or (y) the notice that PubCo is electing to issue PubCo Ordinary Shares pursuant to the terms of the Notes or that the Buyers are electing to receive PubCo Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Notes, a certificate, registered in the name of such Buyer or its designee, for the applicable number of Underlying Shares to which the Buyer is entitled, for the applicable Underlying Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by PubCo or the Buyers, as the case may be, pursuant to the terms of the Notes or Warrants, as applicable. PubCo represents and warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 7(b) will be given by PubCo to the Transfer Agent with respect to the Securities, and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of PubCo, as applicable, to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. If a Buyer effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities in accordance with Section 2(g), PubCo shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct the Transfer Agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Buyer to effect such sale, transfer or assignment. In the event that such sale, assignment or transfer involves Underlying Shares sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144, the Transfer Agent shall issue such Underlying Shares to such Buyer, assignee or transferee (as the case may be) without any restrictive legend in accordance with Section 7(d). PubCo acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Buyer. Accordingly, PubCo acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 7(b) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by PubCo of the provisions of this Section 7(b), that a Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. Any fees (with respect to the Transfer Agent, counsel to PubCo or otherwise) associated with the removal of any legends on any of the Securities shall be borne by PubCo.

 

(c) Legends. Each Buyer understands that the Securities have been issued (or will be issued in the case of the Note Shares and Warrant Shares) pursuant to an exemption from registration or qualification under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, and except as set forth herein, the Securities shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates in violation of the applicable legend):

 

Note Legend

 

THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF NEITHER THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES THAT MAY BE ISSUABLE PURSUANT TO THIS NOTE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. UNTIL THE DATE THAT IS ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE ISSUE DATE (AS DEFINED ON THE REVERSE OF THIS NOTE), THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION AND PROSPECTUS DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT.

THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN A FORM REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.

 

(d) Removal of Legends. Certificates evidencing the Securities shall not be required to contain the legend set forth in Section 7(c) or any other legend (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such Securities is effective under the 1933 Act, (ii) following any sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferor is not an affiliate of PubCo), provided that a Buyer furnishes PubCo with reasonable assurances that such Securities are eligible for sale, assignment or transfer under Rule 144, which shall not include an opinion of Buyer’s counsel, (iii) if such Securities are eligible to be sold, assigned or transferred under Rule 144 free of the current public information reporting requirement contained in Rule 144(c)(1), (iv) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer (other than under Rule 144), provided that such Buyer provides PubCo with an opinion of counsel to such Buyer, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under the applicable provisions of the 1933 Act or (v) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act (including, without limitation, controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the SEC). If a legend is not required pursuant to the foregoing, PubCo shall no later than one (1) Business Day (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade initiated on the date such Buyer delivers such legended certificate representing such Securities to PubCo) following the delivery by a Buyer to PubCo or the Transfer Agent (with notice to PubCo, as applicable), as applicable, of a legended certificate representing such Securities (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer, if applicable), together with any other deliveries from such Buyer as may be reasonably required above in this Section 7(d) (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”), as directed by such Buyer, either: (A) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, credit the applicable number of PubCo Ordinary Shares to which such Buyer shall be entitled to such Buyer’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its DWAC system or (B) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to such Buyer, a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends, registered in the name of such Buyer or its designee. PubCo shall be responsible for any transfer agent fees or DTC fees with respect to any issuance of Securities or the removal of any legends with respect to such Securities in accordance herewith and the Buyer shall not be required to deliver or cause to be delivered a legal opinion in connection with a sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144.

 

56

 

 

(e) If PubCo or the Transfer Agent, as applicable, fails to deliver the applicable PubCo Ordinary Shares to a Buyer or an applicable assignee or transferee (as the case may be) without any restrictive legend in accordance with Section 2(g), Section 7(b) or Section 7(d), then in addition to such Buyer’s other available remedies hereunder, PubCo shall pay to such Buyer, in cash, (1) as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Underlying Shares (based on the Daily VWAP (as defined in the Notes) on the date that the Buyer delivered notice of its entitlement to such PubCo Ordinary Shares) for which PubCo or the Transfer Agent, as applicable, fails to deliver the applicable PubCo Ordinary Shares without any restrictive legend an amount equal to $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such undelivered PubCo Ordinary Shares are delivered without a legend; and (2) if PubCo is obligated to remove the restrictive legends pursuant to Section 7(d) but fails to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) the applicable PubCo Ordinary Shares to a Buyer by the Legend Removal Date that are free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if after the Legend Removal Date a Buyer purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) PubCo Ordinary Shares to deliver in settlement of a sale by the Buyer of all or any portion of the unlegended PubCo Ordinary Shares to which such Buyer was entitled to receive, or a sale of an amount of PubCo Ordinary Shares equal to all or any portion of the amount of unlegended PubCo Ordinary Shares, that the Buyer anticipated receiving from PubCo without any restrictive legend, then an amount equal to the excess of the Buyer’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the PubCo Ordinary Shares so purchased (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) over the product of (A) such number of unlegended PubCo Ordinary Shares that PubCo was required to deliver to the Buyer by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (B) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed. For avoidance of doubt, this Section 7(e) shall not be duplicative with any provisions in the Notes addressing any failure to deliver shares without restrictive legends.

 

(f) FAST Compliance. While any Notes or Warrants remain outstanding, PubCo shall maintain a transfer agent that participates in FAST.

 

8. CONDITIONS TO PUBCo’s OBLIGATION TO SELL the purchased SECURITIES.

 

(a) The obligation of PubCo hereunder to issue and sell the Purchased Securities to each Buyer at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing Date of each of the following conditions, provided that these conditions are for PubCo’s sole benefit and may be waived by PubCo at any time in its sole discretion by providing each Buyer with prior written notice thereof:

Nothing contained in this Section 10 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

 

60

 

 

11. MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware. The Company, PubCo and Voyager each hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, provided that if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware does not have jurisdiction, then to the other courts of the State of Delaware, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or under any of the other Transaction Documents or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude any Buyer from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company, PubCo or Voyager in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s, PubCo’s or Voyager’s obligations to such Buyer or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of such Buyer. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

 

(b) Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof. A party’s electronic signature (complying with the New York Electronic Signatures and Records Act (N.Y. State Tech. §§ 301-309), as amended from time to time, or other applicable law) of this Agreement shall have the same validity and effect as a signature affixed by the party’s hand.

 

(c) Headings; Gender; Interpretation. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found. Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein: (x) to Articles, Sections, Schedules and Exhibits mean the Articles and Sections of, and Schedules and Exhibits attached to, this Agreement; (y) to an agreement, instrument or other document means such agreement, instrument or other document as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time to the extent permitted by the provisions thereof and (z) to a statute means such statute as amended from time to time and includes any successor legislation thereto and any regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

61

 

 

(d) Severability; Maximum Payment Amounts. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof 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). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (and without implication that the following is required or applicable), it is the intention of the parties that in no event shall amounts and value paid by the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries (as the case may be), PubCo and/or any of its Subsidiaries or Voyager (as the case may be), or payable to or received by any of the Buyers, under the Transaction Documents (including without limitation, any amounts that would be characterized as “interest” under applicable law) exceed amounts permitted under any applicable law. Accordingly, if any obligation to pay, payment made to any Buyer, or collection by any Buyer pursuant to the Transaction Documents is finally judicially determined to be contrary to any such applicable law, such obligation to pay, payment or collection shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of such Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiaries (or by mutual mistake of such Buyer, PubCo and its Subsidiaries or such Buyer and Voyager) and such amount shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by the applicable law. Such adjustment shall be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing or refunding, at the option of such Buyer, the amount of interest or any other amounts which would constitute unlawful amounts required to be paid or actually paid to such Buyer under the Transaction Documents. For greater certainty, to the extent that any interest, charges, fees, expenses or other amounts required to be paid to or received by such Buyer under any of the Transaction Documents or related thereto are held to be within the meaning of “interest” or another applicable term to otherwise be violative of applicable law, such amounts shall be pro-rated over the period of time to which they relate.

 

(e) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyers, the Company, its Subsidiaries, PubCo, its Subsidiaries, Voyager, their respective affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf, including, without limitation, any transactions by any Buyer with respect to PubCo Ordinary Shares, the Voyager Ordinary Shares or the Securities, and the other matters contained herein and therein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties solely with respect to the matters covered herein and therein; provided, however, nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall (or shall be deemed to) (i) have any effect on any agreements any Buyer has entered into with, or any instruments any Buyer has received from, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries, or Voyager prior to the date hereof with respect to any prior investment made by such Buyer in the Company, PubCo or Voyager, as the case may be, or (ii) waive, alter, modify or amend in any respect any obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, of PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries, or of Voyager, or any rights of or benefits to any Buyer or any other Person, in any agreement entered into prior to the date hereof between or among the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and any Buyer, between or among PubCo and/or any of its Subsidiaries, or between or among Voyager and any Buyer, or any instruments any Buyer received from the Company, PubCo or Voyager and/or any of its respective Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof, and all such agreements and instruments shall continue in full force and effect. Except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company, PubCo, Voyager nor any Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking. For clarification purposes, the Recitals are part of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company, PubCo, Voyager and the Required Holders, and any amendment to any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 11(e) shall be binding on all Buyers and holders of Securities, as applicable; provided that no such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it (A) applies to less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding or (B) imposes any obligation or liability on any Buyer without such Buyer’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Buyer’s sole discretion). No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party,

 

62

 

 

provided that the Required Holders may waive any provision of this Agreement, and any waiver of any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 11(e) shall be binding on all Buyers and holders of Securities, as applicable, provided that no such waiver shall be effective to the extent that it (1) applies to less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding (unless a party gives a waiver as to itself only) or (2) imposes any obligation or liability on any Buyer without such Buyer’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Buyer’s sole discretion). No consideration (other than reimbursement of legal fees) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents and all holders of the Securities. From the date hereof and while any Securities are outstanding, neither the Company, PubCo nor Voyager shall be permitted to receive any consideration from a Buyer or a holder of Securities that is not otherwise contemplated by the Transaction Documents in order to, directly or indirectly, induce the Company, PubCo or Voyager or any Subsidiary thereof (i) to treat such Buyer or holder of Securities in a manner that is more favorable than to other similarly situated Buyers or holders of Securities, or (ii) to treat any Buyer(s) or holder(s) of Securities in a manner that is less favorable than the Buyer or holder of Securities that is paying such consideration; provided, however, that the determination of whether a Buyer has been treated more or less favorably than another Buyer shall disregard any securities of the Company, PubCo or Voyager purchased or sold by any Buyer. Neither the Company, PubCo nor Voyager has, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with any Buyers relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company, PubCo and Voyager each confirms that, except as set forth in this Agreement, no Buyer has made any commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any financing to the Company, PubCo, Voyager or any of their respective Subsidiaries or otherwise. As a material inducement for each Buyer to enter into this Agreement, the Company, PubCo and Voyager each expressly acknowledges and agrees that (x) no due diligence or other investigation or inquiry conducted by a Buyer, any of its advisors or any of its representatives shall affect such Buyer’s right to rely on, or shall modify or qualify in any manner or be an exception to any of, the Company’s, PubCo’s or Voyager’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (y) nothing contained in any of the PubCo SEC Documents or Voyager SEC Documents shall affect such Buyer’s right to rely on, or shall modify or qualify in any manner or be an exception to any of, the Company’s, PubCo’s or Voyager’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. “Required Holders” means (I) prior to the Closing Date, each Buyer entitled to purchase Purchased Securities at the Closing, (II) on or after the Closing Date holders of a majority of the Underlying Shares in the aggregate as of such time issued or issuable hereunder or pursuant to the Notes and Warrants, as applicable; provided that such majority must include High Trail Special Situations II LLC or HT Investments MA LLC, so long as either of them or any of their respective affiliates hold any Notes or Warrants.

 

(f) Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by electronic mail (provided that such sent e-mail is kept on file (whether electronically or otherwise) by the sending party and the sending party does not receive an automatically generated message from the recipient’s e-mail server that such e-mail could not be delivered to such recipient); or (iii) one (1) Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service with next day delivery specified, in each case, properly addressed to the party to receive the same.

(g) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any purchasers of any of the Purchased Securities. Neither the Company, PubCo nor Voyager shall assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, including, without limitation, by way of a Fundamental Change or a Fundamental Transaction (unless the Company, PubCo or Voyager, as applicable, is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Changes and Fundamental Transactions). A Buyer may assign some or all of its rights hereunder in connection with any transfer of any of its Securities without the consent of the Company, PubCo or Voyager, provided such assignee agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions hereof that apply to Buyers in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be a Buyer hereunder with respect to such assigned rights.

 

(h) No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, other than the Indemnitees referred to in Sections 6(y) and 11(k) and as set forth in this Section 11(h).

 

(i) Survival. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants shall survive the Closing. Each Buyer shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.

 

(j) Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(k) Indemnification.

 

(i) In consideration of each Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer and each holder of any Securities and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or any Subsidiary in any of the Transaction Documents, (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary contained in any of the Transaction Documents or (iii) any cause of action, suit, proceeding or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary) or which otherwise involves such Indemnitee that arises out of or results from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, any hedging or similar activities in connection therewith); provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to a Buyer or its related Indemnitees to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises primarily out of or is based primarily upon the inaccuracy of any representations and warranties made by such Buyer herein. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

 

65

 

 

(ii) In consideration of each Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of PubCo’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, PubCo shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities, incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by PubCo or any Subsidiary in any of the Transaction Documents, (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of PubCo or any Subsidiary contained in any of the Transaction Documents or (iii) any cause of action, suit, proceeding or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of PubCo or any Subsidiary) or which otherwise involves such Indemnitee that arises out of or results from (A) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, any hedging or similar activities in connection therewith), or (B) the status of such Buyer or holder of the Securities either as an investor in PubCo pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or as a party to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any hedging or similar activities in connection therewith or as a party in interest or otherwise in any action or proceeding for injunctive or other equitable relief); provided, however, that PubCo will not be liable in any such case to a Buyer or its related Indemnitees to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises primarily out of or is based primarily upon the inaccuracy of any representations and warranties made by such Buyer herein. To the extent that the foregoing indemnification undertaking by PubCo may be unenforceable for any reason, PubCo shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

 

(iii) In consideration of each Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of Voyager’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, Voyager shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities, incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by Voyager or any Subsidiary in any of the Transaction Documents, (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Voyager contained in any of the Transaction Documents or (iii) any cause of action, suit, proceeding or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of Voyager) or which otherwise involves such Indemnitee that arises out of or results from (A) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, any hedging or similar activities in connection therewith), or (B) the status of such Buyer or holder of the Securities either as an investor in Voyager pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or as a party to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any hedging or similar activities in connection therewith or as a party in interest or otherwise in any action or proceeding for injunctive or other equitable relief); provided, however, that Voyager will not be liable in any such case to a Buyer or its related Indemnitees to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises primarily out of or is based primarily upon the inaccuracy of any representations and warranties made by such Buyer herein. To the extent that the foregoing indemnification undertaking by Voyager may be unenforceable for any reason, Voyager shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

(iv) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section 11(k) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 11(k), deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnitee; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the indemnifying party if: (i) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Indemnified Liability and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee in any such Indemnified Liability; or (iii) the named parties to any such Indemnified Liability (including, without limitation, any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnitee and the indemnifying party, and such Indemnitee shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnitee and the indemnifying party (in which case, if such Indemnitee notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, then the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party), provided further that in the case of clause (iii) above the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for such Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnitee which relates to such Indemnified Liability. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such Indemnified Liability, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnitee. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Section 11(k), except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 11(k) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Liabilities are incurred. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnitees against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

 

(l) Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. No specific representation or warranty shall limit the generality or applicability of a more general representation or warranty. Each and every reference to share prices, ordinary shares of the Company, PubCo Ordinary Shares or Voyager Ordinary Shares and any other numbers in this Agreement that relate to the ordinary shares of the Company, PubCo Ordinary Shares or Voyager Ordinary Shares shall be automatically adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions that occur with respect to the ordinary shares of the Company, PubCo Ordinary Shares or Voyager Ordinary Shares after the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty against, or a prohibition of, any actions with respect to the borrowing of, arrangement to borrow, identification of the availability of, and/or securing of, securities of the Company, PubCo or Voyager in order for such Buyer (or its broker or other financial representative) to effect short sales or similar transactions in the future.

 

67

 

 

(m) Remedies. Each Buyer and in the event of assignment by Buyer of its rights and obligations hereunder, each holder of Securities, shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, each of the Company, PubCo and Voyager recognizes that in the event that it or any of its Subsidiaries fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its or such Subsidiary’s (as the case may be) obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law would be inadequate relief to the Buyers. Each of the Company, PubCo and Voyager therefore agrees that the Buyers shall be entitled to specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. The remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief).

 

(n) Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Buyer exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, PubCo or any of its Subsidiaries or Voyager does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided or if no period is prescribed, within a reasonable period of time, then such Buyer may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, PubCo, Voyager or such Subsidiary (as the case may be), any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

 

(o) Payment Set Aside; Currency. To the extent that the Company, PubCo or Voyager makes a payment or payments to any Buyer hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or any of the Buyers enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, PubCo or Voyager, as applicable, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are in United States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”), and all amounts owing under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies (if any) shall be converted into the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “Exchange Rate” means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this Agreement, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the relevant date of calculation.

 

(p) Judgment Currency.

 

(i) If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against the Company, PubCo or Voyager in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in any court in any jurisdiction it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 11(p) referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in U.S. Dollars under this Agreement, the conversion shall be made at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding:

 

(A) the date actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date; or

 

68

 

 

(B) the date on which the foreign court determines, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 11(p)(i)(B) being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”).

 

(ii) If in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 11(p)(i)(B), there is a change in the Exchange Rate prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the applicable party shall pay such adjusted amount as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of U.S. Dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.

 

(iii) Any amount due from the Company, PubCo or Voyager under this provision shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

 

(q) Independent Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Buyer under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as, and the Company, PubCo and Voyager each acknowledges that the Buyers do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity, and neither the Company, PubCo nor Voyager shall assert any such claim with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any matters, and the Company, PubCo and Voyager each acknowledges that the Buyers are not acting in concert or as a group, and neither the Company, PubCo nor Voyager shall assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The decision of each Buyer to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Buyer independently of any other Buyer. Each Buyer acknowledges that no other Buyer has acted as agent for such Buyer in connection with such Buyer making its investment hereunder and that no other Buyer will be acting as agent of such Buyer in connection with monitoring such Buyer’s investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. The Company, PubCo, Voyager and each Buyer confirms that each Buyer has independently participated with the Company and its Subsidiaries, PubCo and its Subsidiaries and Voyager in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement to effectuate the purchase and sale of the Securities contemplated hereby was solely in the control of the Company, PubCo and Voyager, not the action or decision of any Buyer, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and its Subsidiaries, PubCo and its Subsidiaries and Voyager and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Buyer. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company, each of its Subsidiaries and a Buyer, solely, between PubCo, each of its Subsidiaries and a Buyer, solely, and between Voyager and a Buyer, solely, and not between the Company, its Subsidiaries, PubCo, its Subsidiaries, Voyager and the Buyers collectively and not between and among the Buyers.

 

(r) Performance Date. If the date by which any obligation under any of the Transaction Documents must be performed occurs on a day other than a Business Day, then the date by which such performance is required shall be the next Business Day following such date.

 

(s) Enforcement Fees. Prior to the completion of the deSPAC Transaction, the Company agrees to pay all costs and expenses of the Buyers incurred as a result of enforcement of the Transaction Documents and the collection of any amounts owed to the Buyers hereunder (whether in cash, equity or otherwise), including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. Following the completion of the deSPAC Transaction, PubCo agrees to pay all costs and expenses of the Buyers incurred as a result of enforcement of the Transaction Documents and the collection of any amounts owed to the Buyers hereunder (whether in cash, equity or otherwise), including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.

(t) Collateral Agent.

 

(i) Appointment; Authorization. The Buyers, together with any successors or assigns thereof, hereby irrevocably appoint, designate and authorize HBC Collateral Agent LLC as collateral agent to take such action on their behalf under the provisions of the Notes, each Security Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement and each Security Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 11(t) are solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, and neither the Company nor PubCo shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any Security Document (or any other similar term) with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in the Notes, any Security Document or any other agreement, instrument or document related hereto or thereto, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility except those expressly set forth herein, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into the Notes, any Security Document or any other agreement, instrument or document related hereto or thereto or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding anything of this Section 11(t) to the contrary, in relation to any Swiss law governed Security Document, the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to and shall (i) hold and administer any non-accessory security interest (nicht-akzessorische Sicherheit) governed by Swiss law as indirect representative (indirekter Stellvertreter) in its own name but on behalf and for the benefit of the Buyers, and (ii) hold and administer any accessory security interest (akzessorische Sicherheit) governed by Swiss law for itself and as direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) in the name and on behalf of the Buyers. In relation to any Swiss law governed Security Documents under which security of an accessory nature (akzessorische Sicherheit) is granted (each a “Swiss Security Document”) each present and future Buyer (other than the Collateral Agent) hereby appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to do all acts in the name and for the account of such Buyer as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter), including, without limitation, (i) to accept and execute and hold, administer and, if necessary, enforce the security granted under any of the Swiss Security Documents, (ii) to agree to amendments, restatements, confirmations and other alterations of the Swiss Security Documents, (iii) to effect any release of the security under, and the termination of, any Swiss Security Document, and (iv) to exercise such other rights, powers, authorities and discretions granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder or under the relevant Swiss Security Document.

 

(ii) Delegation of Duties. The Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any Security Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through its Affiliates (as defined in the Notes), partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, administrators, managers, advisors and representatives, or the partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, administrators, managers, advisors and representatives of any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Related Parties”). The exculpatory provisions of this Section 11(t) shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Collateral Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

 

(iii) Exculpatory Provisions.

 

(A) The Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Security Documents, and its duties shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent: (i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default (as defined in the Notes) has occurred and is continuing or an Event of Default (as defined in the Notes) has occurred; (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers; and (iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth in the Security Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates, PubCo or any of its Affiliates or Voyager or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

 

70

 

 

(B) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Collateral Agent in writing by the Company or PubCo.

 

(C) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with the Notes, any Security Document or any other agreement, instrument or document related hereto or thereto, (b) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (c) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (d) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of the Notes, any Security Document or any other agreement, instrument or document related to the Notes or Security Documents, or (e) any failure of the Company, PubCo or any other party to the Notes, any Security Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document related to the Notes or Security Documents to perform its obligations thereunder. The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, the Notes, any Security Document or any other agreement, instrument or document related to the Notes or Security Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, of PubCo or any Affiliate of PubCo or of Voyager or any Affiliate of Voyager.

 

(iv) Reliance by Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it in good faith to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

 

(v) Successor Agent. The Collateral Agent may resign as the Collateral Agent at any time upon ten (10) days’ prior notice to the Buyers, the Company and PubCo. If the Collateral Agent resigns under the Notes, the Required Holders shall appoint a successor agent. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may appoint a successor Collateral Agent on behalf of the Buyers after consulting with the Buyers. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent and the term “the Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Section 11(t) shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Collateral Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Collateral Agent’s notice of resignation, a retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Buyers, shall perform all of the duties of the Collateral Agent hereunder until such time as Required Holders shall appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

 

(vi) Non-Reliance on the Collateral Agent. The Buyers acknowledge that they have, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any of its Related Parties and based on such documents and information as they have deemed appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into and/or invest in the Notes. The Buyers also acknowledge that they will, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any of its Related Parties and based on such documents and information as they shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make their own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon the Notes, any Security Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

 

71

 

 

(vii) Collateral Matters. The Buyers irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent to release any Lien (as defined in the Notes) granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Security Document (i) when all Secured Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreements) have been paid in full; (ii) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted under the Notes and each other agreement, instrument or document related thereto (it being agreed and understood that the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of an officer of PubCo as to the sale or other disposition of property being made in compliance with the Notes and each other agreement, instrument or document related thereto); or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Buyers. The Collateral Agent shall have the right, in accordance with the Security Documents to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Pledged Collateral for cash, credit or any combination thereof, and the Collateral Agent may purchase any Pledged Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale and, in lieu of actual payment of the purchase price, may credit bid and setoff the amount of such price against the Secured Obligations.

 

(viii) Reimbursement by Buyers. To the extent that the Company or PubCo, as applicable, for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Sections 6(h) or 11(k) to be paid by it to the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Buyers hereby agree, jointly and severally, to pay to the Collateral Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party of the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), as the case may be, such unpaid amount.

 

(ix) Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Buyers shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Company, PubCo or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Secured Obligations. To the extent that the Company or PubCo makes a payment or payments to the Collateral Agent, or the Collateral Agent enforces its Liens or exercises its rights of set-off, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Collateral Agent in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party in connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, or otherwise, then (i) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation under the Notes intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or set-off had not occurred and (ii) the Buyers agree to pay to the Collateral Agent upon demand its share of the total amount so recovered from or repaid by the Collateral Agent to the extent paid to the Buyers.

 

(u) German Collateral.

 

(i) Appointment as agent and administrator in relation to German Collateral.

 

(A) In relation to any Collateral governed by German law (the “German Collateral”), the Collateral Agent shall:

 

(1) hold, administer and (subject to the same having become enforceable and to the terms of this Agreement) realize any such German Collateral which is Collateral transferred or assigned (Sicherungseigentum/Sicherungsabtretung) or otherwise granted under a non-accessory security right (nicht-akzessorische Sicherheit) to it in its own name as trustee (treuhänderisch) for the benefit of the Secured Parties; and

 

(2) administer and (subject to the same having become enforceable and to the terms of this Agreement) realize in the name of and on behalf of the Secured Parties any German Collateral which is pledged (Verpfändung) to the Collateral Agent and/or any other Secured Party under an accessory security right (akzessorische Sicherheit) in the name and on behalf of the Secured Parties.

 

72

 

 

(B) Each Secured Party (other than the Collateral Agent) hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to:

 

(1) accept as its representative (Stellvertreter) any pledge or other creation of any accessory security right made to such Secured Party in relation to the Transaction Documents and to act and execute on its behalf as its representative (Stellvertreter), subject to the terms of the Transaction Documents, amendments or releases of, accessions and alterations to, and to carry out similar dealings with regard to any Security Agreement governed by German law (the “German Collateral Document”) which creates a pledge or any other accessory security right;

 

(2) act on its behalf and in its name in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the German Collateral and the perfection and monitoring of the German Collateral;

 

(3) execute on behalf of itself and each other Party where relevant without the need for any further referral to, or authority from, any other person all necessary releases or confirmations of any Collateral created under the German Collateral in relation to the disposal of any asset which is permitted under the German Collateral or consented or agreed upon in accordance with the Transaction Documents; and

 

(4) make all statements necessary or appropriate in connection with the foregoing paragraphs.

 

(C) Each of the Parties hereby release the Collateral Agent from the restrictions pursuant to section 181 of the German Civil Code and similar restrictions under any applicable law, in each case to the extent legally possible for such Loan Party or Secured Party. Any Party prevented by applicable law or its constitutional documents to grant the release from the restrictions pursuant to section 181 German Civil Code shall notify the Collateral Agent without undue delay.

 

(ii) Parallel Debt.

 

(A) With regard to the Parallel Debt (as defined below) and any German Collateral, any transfer of rights and claims under this Agreement or any of the Notes by way of novation shall be construed under German law as a transfer and assignment by way of assumption of contract (Vertragsübernahme) and shall not entail under German law a Schuldumschaffung of (or have the effect of a Schuldumschaffung on) the Parallel Debt.

 

(B) PubCo hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Collateral Agent amounts equal to any amounts owing from time to time by it to any Secured Party under any Transaction Document as and when those amounts are due and payable.

 

(C) PubCo acknowledges that the obligations of it under sub-section (ii)(B) above are several and are separate and independent from, and shall not in any way limit or affect, the corresponding obligations of it to any Secured Party under any Transaction Document (its “Corresponding Debt”), nor shall it constitute the Collateral Agent and any other Secured Party as joint creditors of any Corresponding Debt, nor shall the amounts for which it is liable under sub-section (ii)(B) above (its “Parallel Debt”) be limited or affected in any way by its Corresponding Debt provided that:

 

(1) the Parallel Debt of PubCo shall be decreased and the Collateral Agent shall not demand payment to the extent that its Corresponding Debt has been paid or (in the case of guarantee obligations) discharged; and

 

(2) the Corresponding Debt of PubCo shall be decreased and the Collateral Agent shall not demand payment to the extent that its Parallel Debt has been paid or (in the case of guarantee obligations) discharged.

 

73

 

 

(D) For the purposes of this sub-section (u)(ii), the Collateral Agent acts in its own name and not as a trustee, and its claims in respect of the Parallel Debt shall not be held on trust and instead shall be owed to it in its individual capacity. The Collateral granted under the German Collateral Documents to the Collateral Agent to secure the Parallel Debt is granted to the Collateral Agent in its capacity as Parallel Debt Creditor and shall not be held on trust.

 

(E) All moneys received or recovered by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this sub-section (u)(ii), and all amounts received or recovered by the Collateral Agent from or by the enforcement of any Collateral granted to secure the Parallel Debt, shall be applied in accordance with this Agreement.

C. In order to induce the Buyers to enter into the Purchase Agreement and the Transaction Documents, and for good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Shareholder hereby makes certain representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements as set forth in this Agreement with respect to the Company’s ordinary shares, CHF 1/113.25 par value (the “Company Shares”) Beneficially Owned (as defined below) by the Shareholder and set forth below the Shareholder’s signature on the signature page hereto (the “Original Shares” and, together with any additional Company Shares pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the “Shares”).

1. Definitions. When used in this Agreement, the following terms in all of their tenses, cases, and correlative forms shall have the meanings assigned to them in this Section 1.

For the avoidance of doubt, “Beneficially Own” and “Beneficial Ownership” shall also include record ownership of securities.

 

(b) “Beneficial Owner” shall mean the Person who Beneficially Owns the referenced securities.

 

I-2

 

 

2. Representations of Shareholder. The Shareholder represents and warrants to the Company and the Sponsor that:

Except pursuant to this Agreement, there are no options, warrants, or other rights, agreements, arrangements, or commitments of any character to which the Shareholder is a party relating to the pledge, disposition, or voting of any such Original Shares and there are no voting trusts or voting agreements with respect to such Original Shares.

 

(b) Disclosure of All Shares Owned. The Shareholder does not Beneficially Own any Company Shares other than: (i) the Original Shares set forth below the Shareholder’s signature on the signature pages hereto; and (ii) any options, warrants, or other rights to acquire any additional Company Shares or any security exercisable for or convertible into Company Shares, set forth below the Shareholder’s signature on the signature pages hereto (collectively, “Options”).

 

(c) Power and Authority; Binding Agreement. If the Shareholder is an individual, the Shareholder has full power and authority and legal capacity to enter into, execute, and deliver this Agreement and to perform fully the Shareholder’s obligations hereunder (including the proxy described in Section 3(b) below). If the Shareholder is not an individual, the Shareholder has requisite organizational power and authority to enter into, execute, and deliver this Agreement and to perform fully the Shareholder’s obligations hereunder (including the proxy described in Section 3(b) below). This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Shareholder and constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Shareholder, enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with its terms.

 

(d) No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the compliance with the provisions hereof will not, conflict with or violate any law applicable to the Shareholder or result in any breach of or violation of, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration, or cancellation of, or result in the creation of any lien on any of the Company Shares attributable to the Shareholder pursuant to, any agreement or other instrument or obligation binding upon the Shareholder or any of the Company Shares attributable to the Shareholder.

I-3

 

 

3. Agreement to Vote Shares; Proxy.

 

(a) Agreement to Vote and Approve. The Shareholder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees during the term of this Agreement, at any annual or extraordinary shareholders’ meeting of the Company called with respect to the approval contemplated by the Requisite Shareholder Approval, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent or consents of the Company shareholders with respect to such matter, to vote or cause the holder of record to vote the Shares in favor of providing the Requisite Shareholder Approval.

 

(b) Proxy. The Shareholder hereby appoints Adeel Rouf (the “Representative”), until the Expiration Time (as defined below) (at which time this proxy shall automatically be revoked), its proxy and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to vote or act during the term of this Agreement with respect to the Shares in accordance with Section 3(a). For the avoidance of doubt, the Representative shall not act or be appointed by the Company as a company proxy (Organstimmrechtsvertreter) in the sense of art. 689d(2) CO and, thus, the Representative shall not be bound by instructions given by the Company with respect to the Shares but shall vote or act with respect to the Shares solely in accordance with Section 3(a) and Section 4(b). This proxy and power of attorney is given to secure the performance of the duties of the Shareholder under this Agreement. The Shareholder shall take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy, in particular, any additional power of attorney or other document as the Company, the Sponsor, the Representative or a public notary may require or deem to be useful to evidence the Shareholder being duly represented at the relevant annual or extraordinary shareholders’ meeting of the Company. This proxy and power of attorney granted by the Shareholder during the term of this Agreement shall be deemed to revoke any and all prior proxies granted by the Shareholder with respect to the Shares. The power of attorney granted by the Shareholder herein is a durable power of attorney and shall survive the bankruptcy, death, or incapacity of the Shareholder. The proxy and power of attorney granted hereunder shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement.

 

(c) The Shareholder, the Representative and the Sponsor shall be jointly and severally liable for each breach of Section 3(a) or (b) or Section 4(b) (for the avoidance of doubt, including without limitation in case any of the Representatives appointed in accordance with Section 3(b) is not duly representing and voting the Shares in accordance with Section 3(a) or Section 4(b) or in case the Shareholder fails to otherwise vote or cause the holder of record to vote the Shares in favor of providing the Requisite Shareholder Approval).

(c) Any amount due from the Shareholder or the Sponsor under this provision shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of this Agreement.

E.

Accordingly, each Party hereto agrees that injunctive relief or other equitable remedy, in addition to remedies at law or damages, is the appropriate remedy for any such failure and will not oppose the seeking of such relief on the basis that the other Party has an adequate remedy at law. Each Party hereto agrees that it will not seek, and agrees to waive any requirement for, the securing or posting of a bond in connection with the other Party’s seeking or obtaining such equitable relief.

17. Payment Set Aside; Currency. To the extent that the Parties make a payment or payments hereunder or the Company enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Sponsor or Representative, as applicable, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement are in United States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”), and all amounts owing under this Agreement shall be paid in U.S. Dollars.

  (A) the date of actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date; or

 

  (B) the date on which the foreign court determines, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 18(a)(B) being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”).

 

(b) If in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 18(a)(B), there is a change in the Exchange Rate prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the applicable party shall pay such adjusted amount as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of U.S. Dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.

 

(c) Any amount due from the Sponsor or the Representative under this provision shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

 

I-1-7

All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware. The Company, the Sponsor and the Representative each hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, provided that if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware does not have jurisdiction, then to the other courts of the State of Delaware, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Company from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Sponsor or the Representative in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Sponsor’s or the Representative’s obligations to the Company or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Company. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

This PLEDGE AGREEMENT regarding Intellectual Property Rights (the “Agreement”) is made

 

among:

 

(1) Veraxa Biotech GmbH, a limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung) organised under the laws of Germany, with its registered seat in Im Neuenheimer Feld 584, 69120 Heidelberg and registered with the commercial register at the local court of Mannheim under registration number HRB 740261 as pledgor (the “Pledgor”); and

 

(2) HBC Collateral Agent LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, with business address at c/o Hudson Bay Capital Management LP 290 Harbor Drive, 3rd Floor, Stamford, CT 06902, USA, acting in its capacities as collateral agent for the benefit of the Holders (as defined below) (the “Collateral Agent”).

 

WHEREAS:

 

(A) Veraxa Biotech AG a public limited company organized under the Laws of Switzerland with offices located at Talacker 35, 8001 Zurich, Switzerland (“Veraxa Biotech AG”) and Veraxa Biotech Holding AG, a company limited by shares organized under the Laws of Switzerland with offices located at Talacker 35, 8001 Zurich, Switzerland (the “Issuer”) have entered into a securities purchase agreement dated May on or about the date of this Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with Voyager Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company with offices located at 131 Concord Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201 (“Voyager”) and certain investors as buyers (the “Initial Holders”) relating to the offering of up to USD 27,500,000 aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes and designated as the Issuer’s “Senior Secured Notes due 2027” (the “Notes”).

 

(B) VERAXA Biotech AG is party to a certain business combination agreement (as the same may be amended, restated or supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), dated April 22, 2025, by and among the Issuer, Voyager, and the other parties thereto, pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Voyager will merge with and into Veraxa Cayman Merger Sub, an exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Merger Sub”), with Merger Sub surviving such merger and (ii) the VERAXA Biotech AG will merge with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving such merger as a publicly traded company (collectively, the “deSPAC Transaction”).

 

(C) The Pledgor is a 100% subsidiary of VERAXA Biotech AG.

 

(D) It is a condition under the Securities Purchase Agreement that the Pledgor enters into certain security agreements, including the pledge of its rights and claims relating to its IP Rights (as defined below) to the Collateral Agent as security for its respective claims against the Issuer under and in connection with the Notes.

 

(E) The Parties are aware that IP Rights (as defined below) enjoy protection not only in Germany, but in each country or state according to each local law applicable to them and that any pledge of IP Rights is subject to such local laws. This Agreement purports to pledge IP Rights in all countries and states worldwide but it is governed by German law. The pledge of IP Rights effected hereunder is valid, binding and enforceable in respect of the IP Rights to the extent they are protected in Germany but there is uncertainty whether the pledge is valid, binding and enforceable in other countries. If such other countries or states have specific requirements for a valid pledge of IP Rights, the pledge should be effected by an agreement governed by the law of that country or state.

  (b) The Pledgor undertakes to promptly file with the IP Register of the United States, Germany and the European Union at its costs such forms as necessary to perfect or protect the rights of the Collateral Agent including but not limited to registrations of the Pledges granted by it.

  (c) The Pledgor will at all times keep the Collateral Agent informed of the current registration status of its IP Rights and use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the relevant IP Register promptly and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days acknowledges receipt of the request for the recording of the pledge or other filings with the relevant IP Register required hereunder and will promptly confirm to the Collateral Agent completion of all registrations and filings requested. The Pledgor will promptly, but in any case within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the relevant confirmation send a copy of such acknowledgment to the Collateral Agent.

 

  (d) The Pledgor hereby authorises the Collateral Agent to provide each IP Register, upon its request in case it has doubts about the Pledges notified to it according to this Clause 5, with a copy of this Agreement.

 

6. Inspection

 

  (a) The Collateral Agent may upon reasonable (no less than three (3) Business Days’) prior notice to the Pledgor (the “Inspection Notice Period”) inspect any documents relating to the Collateral Assets during normal business hours or have them inspected by a duly authorised representative. Upon the occurrence of a Default, the Collateral Agent may inspect such documents at any time and without prior notice to the Pledgor.

 

  (b) If such documents are in the possession of a third party, the Pledgor shall procure that the Collateral Agent is allowed access to inspect the documents in accordance with the terms of paragraph 6 above (such inspection, the “Third Party Inspection”), provided, that in the event such third party is unable to accommodate the Inspection Notice Period, either it or the Pledgor may solicit consent of the Collateral Agent to arrange an alternative reasonable timeline for the Third Party Inspection, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld.

 

7. Bookkeeping and data-processing

 

7.1 Bookkeeping

 

If proof or documents which are necessary to identify the IP Rights have been handed over by the Pledgor to a third party (in particular a bookkeeping firm or a tax consultant), the Pledgor hereby assigns to the Collateral Agent, who hereby accepts such assignment, its right to demand from such third party the return of the information and documents. The Pledgor hereby undertakes, at the Collateral Agent’s request (acting reasonably) once a Default is reasonably anticipated or suspected, to instruct the third party to provide the Collateral Agent with such information and documents which are necessary to perfect and/or enforce the security created hereby. At all times prior to such anticipated or suspected Default, the Collateral Agent authorises the Pledgor to exercise the rights assigned to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Clause 7.

 

7.2 Electronic data processing and bookkeeping by third parties

 

If information concerning the IP Rights or any part thereof have been stored in an electronic data-processing system, then, at the Collateral Agent’s request (acting reasonably) once a Default is reasonably anticipated or suspected, the Pledgor shall allow the Collateral Agent access to the computer, including the peripheral equipment and all data concerning the IP Rights or such part thereof. Moreover, software operators shall be made available insofar as so required, and any assistance required shall be provided to the Collateral Agent. If a third party handles the electronic processing of data and with effect from the Collateral Agent’s above request, the Pledgor hereby assigns to the Collateral Agent, who hereby accepts such assignment, all rights against such third party relating to these services, and instructs such third party to handle the processing of data for the Collateral Agent upon its request (acting reasonably) as it did for the Pledgor, in which case the Pledgor shall be given access to any data it requires in its ordinary course of business.

 

- 7 -

 

 

8. Authorisation

 

  (a) Unless, provided that a Default has occurred that has not been cured or waived, the Collateral Agent gives notice to the contrary to the Pledgor, the Pledgor shall, subject to the provisions of the Notes, have the right, in the ordinary course of business, to exploit the Collateral Assets, to assert all rights and to fulfil all obligations as owner (or applicant), i.e. to exercise all rights and powers in respect of Collateral Assets, collect and enforce all claims which are part of the IP Rights and to otherwise use the IP Rights in the ordinary course of business, and to grant, enter into, perform, amend, supplement, renew, extend, waive or terminate the Permitted Intellectual Property License.

  (a) to inform the Collateral Agent promptly of any attachments (Pfändung) in respect of the Collateral Assets pledged or transferred by it or any part thereof or any other measures which may impair or jeopardise the Collateral Agent’s rights or interests relating thereto. In the event of an attachment relating to its Collateral Assets, the Pledgor undertakes to promptly forward to the Collateral Agent a copy of the attachment order (Pfändungsbeschluss), the garnishee order (Überweisungsbeschluss) and all other documents necessary for a defense against the attachment. The Pledgor shall promptly inform the attaching creditor of the Collateral Agent’s security interests;

 

  (b) to take all actions or make all declarations the Collateral Agent may require for perfecting, protecting or enforcing the Security Interests at the Pledgor’s own costs and expenses;

 

  (c) not to create or permit to subsist any encumbrance over all or any of the Collateral Assets pledged or assigned by it or any interest therein or otherwise sell, assign, transfer or dispose of, or license or sublicense any rights under or in respect of the whole or any part of such Collateral Assets or any interest therein (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any transfer by means of universal or partial succession (Gesamtrechtsnachfolge, partielle Gesamtrechtsnachfolge)) other than as permitted under the Notes, including the Permitted Intellectual Property License;

 

  (d) to take all necessary steps for the maintenance of the Collateral Assets and the registration of the IP Rights pledged or assigned by it (including without limitation those set out in Schedule 1 (List of IP Rights) hereto), including the payment of any annual or renewal fees (Jahres- oder Verlängerungsgebühren) or application fees (Anmeldegebühren) to the relevant IP Register or the relevant authorities in connection with such IP Rights, for the compliance with any other necessary formalities, requirements or other proceedings before the relevant IP Register or the relevant authority and unless otherwise agreed upon between the Pledgor and the Collateral Agent in writing prior to the payment of the relevant annual or renewal fees or application fees (such agreement may be contained in any of the Notes Documents), except, if the Pledgor using the care of a prudent businessman (Sorgfalt eines ordentlichen Kaufmanns) decides to abandon or no longer maintain some of the IP Rights in the ordinary course of business;

 

- 9 -

 

 

  (e) to procure that any and all Collateral Assets created or acquired by it after the date of this Agreement will be pledged or assigned to the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

 

  (f) upon reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, to provide to the Collateral Agent:

 

  (i) extracts from the IP Register where an IP Right is registered;

 

  (ii) copies of the documents from the IP Register confirming the registration of an IP Right or the granting of an IP Right;

 

  (iii) copies of filed application for registration of an IP Right;

 

  (iv) proof of the due and punctual payment of any fees and costs that need to be paid in order to maintain the IP Rights; and

 

  (v) any other information in relation to the IP Rights; and

 

  (g) to keep safe and readily available all its records concerning the Collateral Assets to enable the Collateral Agent to determine the status thereof.

 

11. Enforcement

 

11.1 Enforcement

 

If and when the requirements set forth in Sections 1273 para. 2, 1204 et seq. German Civil Code with regard to the enforcement of pledges are met (Pfandreife), the Collateral Agent may realise the Security Interests (or any part thereof):

 

  (a) to the extent the IP Rights have a market value within the meaning of Section 1235 German Civil Code, by way of transferring or licensing the IP Rights in its own name or in the name of the relevant Pledgor and grant commercially reasonable discounts or indulgence to debtors or third parties acquiring or licensing the IP Rights and enter into commercially reasonable settlement agreements;

 

  (b) to the extent the IP Rights do not have a market value within the meaning of Section 1235 German Civil Code, by way of disposing of the IP Rights by way of public auction (öffentliche Versteigerung); and

 

  (c) by way of taking all measures permitted by law that are necessary or appropriate to enforce this Agreement and to realise the Security Interests,

 

in any case notwithstanding Section 1277 German Civil Code and without obtaining an enforceable judgment or other instrument (vollstreckbarer Titel).

 

11.2 Notification

 

The Collateral Agent shall give the Pledgor one (1) week’s prior written notice of its intention to realise the Security Interests. However, such notice is not necessary to the Pledgor who has ceased to make payments, if an application for the institution of insolvency proceedings or similar proceedings is filed by or against it, if there is reason to believe that observance of the notice period will materially and adversely affect the security interest of the Collateral Agent or if otherwise inappropriate (untunlich) in the meaning of Section 1234 para. 1 German Civil Code.

 

- 10 -

 

 

11.3 Collateral Agent’s discretions

 

The Collateral Agent may determine in its sole discretion which part of the Security Interests shall be realised to satisfy the Secured Claims. Section 1230 sentence 2 German Civil Code shall not apply.

 

11.4 Assistance by Pledgor

 

If the Collateral Agent seeks to realise the Security Interests pursuant to, and in accordance with Clause 11 (Enforcement), the Pledgor shall, at its own expense, render forthwith all assistance reasonably necessary in order to facilitate the prompt realisation of the Collateral Assets, any part thereof and/or the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any other right it may have under German law.

 

11.5 Proceeds

 

The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to treat the proceeds resulting from the enforcement of the Security Interests as additional collateral for the Secured Claims or apply such proceeds towards the satisfaction of the Secured Claims in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

11.6 No subrogation of claims

 

If the Pledges are enforced or if the Pledgor has discharged any of the Secured Claims (or any part of them), Section 1225 of the German Civil Code (legal subrogation of claims to a pledgor - Forderungsübergang auf den Verpfänder) shall not apply and no rights of the Collateral Agent shall pass to the Pledgor by subrogation or otherwise.

 

12. Limitation of enforcement

 

  (a) The Collateral Agent agrees not to enforce the Pledges granted by the Pledgor if and to the extent that:

 

  (i) the Pledges secure the obligations or liabilities of:

 

  (A) a member of the Group that is not a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Pledgor; or

 

  (B) a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Pledgor if and to the extent the Pledges secure obligations or liabilities of a member of the Group that is not a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Pledgor

 

(an “Up-Stream or Cross-Stream Security”); and

 

  (ii) the Pledgor demonstrates pursuant to paragraph (b) below that the enforcement otherwise had the effect of:

 

  (A) reducing the net assets (Reinvermögen) calculated in accordance with the accounting principles as consistently applied and the jurisprudence from time to time of the German Federal Supreme Court (Bundesgerichtshof) relating to the protection of liable capital under Sections 30 and 31 of the German Limited Liability Companies Act (“GmbHG”) (as amended from time to time) (the “Net Assets”) of the Pledgor to an amount which is less than the amount required to maintain its stated share capital (Stammkapital); or

 

- 11 -

 

 

  (B) increasing an existing shortage of its stated share capital.

 

provided that, for the purposes of the calculation of the enforceable amount (if any):

 

  (I) the amount of any increase of the stated share capital (Stammkapital) of the Pledgor after the date of this Agreement out of retained earnings shall be deducted from the stated share capital (Stammkapital) unless the Collateral Agent has granted its prior written consent to such increase of the stated share capital;

 

  (II) in case the stated share capital (Stammkapital) of the Pledgor is not fully paid in, the amount by which the stated share capital (Stammkapital) exceeds the amount of the share capital paid in shall be deducted from the stated share capital (Stammkapital);

 

  (III) loans provided to the Pledgor shall be disregarded if and to the extent such loans are made (A) by a direct or indirect shareholder of the Pledgor or any member of the Group and (B) a waiver (Erlass) of such loan is possible and permitted under the Notes Documents and would not result in the managing director of the creditor of such loan incurring a risk of personal liability; and

 

  (IV) loans and other liabilities incurred by the Pledgor in wilful or grossly negligent violation of the provisions of the Notes Documents shall be disregarded.

 

  (b) Subject to paragraph (d) below, the limitations set out in the preceding paragraph shall only apply if and to the extent that:

 

  (i) ‎within fifteen (15) Business Days following the receipt by the Pledgor of a notice from the Collateral Agent stating that the Collateral Agent intends to enforce the Pledges (the “Enforcement Notice”) the Pledgor has confirmed in writing to the Collateral Agent:

 

  (A) to what extent the Pledges are an Up-Stream or Cross-Stream Security; and

 

  (B) of the amount of such Up-Stream or Cross-Stream Security which cannot be enforced as it would otherwise cause its Net Assets to fall below its stated share capital or increase an existing shortage of its stated share capital(setting out in reasonable detail to what extent the share capital would fall below the stated share capital or an increase of an existing shortage would occur, providing an up-to-date pro forma balance sheet and reasonable supporting detail) (the “Management Determination”);

 

the Management Determination shall be prepared as of the date of the receipt of the Enforcement Notice. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to enforce the Pledges in an amount which would, in accordance with the Management Determination, not cause the Pledgor’s Net Assets to fall below its stated share capital or increase an existing shortage of its stated share capital; and

 

- 12 -

 

 

  (ii) if the Collateral Agent notifies the Pledgor that it disagrees with the Management Determination, within twenty (20) Business Days following such notice the Pledgor has provided the Collateral Agent (at the cost of the Pledgor) with a determination by auditors of international standard and reputation (the “Auditor’s Determination”) appointed by the Pledgor of the amount that would have been necessary on the date of the receipt of the Enforcement Notice to maintain its stated share capital or to avoid the increase of an existing shortage of its stated share capital. The Auditor’s Determination shall be prepared in accordance with the accounting principles as consistently applied and shall include an up-to-date balance sheet of the Pledgor and shall contain further information (in reasonable detail) relating to the items to be adjusted pursuant to paragraph (a) above. The Collateral Agent shall only be entitled to enforce the Pledges in an amount which on the basis of the Auditor’s Determination (or pending its delivery, on the basis of the Management Determination) can be enforced in compliance with the limitations set out in paragraph (a) above.

 

  (c) If the Collateral Agent disagrees with the Auditor’s Determination, it shall notify the Pledgor accordingly. The Collateral Agent shall only be entitled to enforce the Pledges up to the amount which on the basis of the Auditor’s Determination can be enforced in compliance with the limitations set out in paragraph (a) above. In relation to the amount which is disputed by the Collateral Agent, it shall be entitled to further pursue the right to enforce the Pledges in court.

 

  (d) If the Pledges were enforced without limitation because the Management Determination and/or the Auditor’s Determination (as the case may be) was not delivered within the relevant time frame but is then subsequently delivered, the Collateral Agent shall, upon written demand of the Pledgor (such demand to be made no later than three (3) months (Ausschlussfrist) after the enforcement of the Pledges granted by the Pledgor), repay to the Pledgor any amount received by it from the enforcement of the Pledges which is necessary to maintain the Pledgor’s stated share capital or to avoid the increase of an existing shortage of its stated share capital, calculated as of the date of the receipt of the Enforcement Notice.

 

  (e) Where the Pledgor claims in accordance with the provisions of paragraphs (b) and (d) above that the Pledges can only be enforced in a limited amount, it shall within three (3) months upon request of the Collateral Agent realise, to the extent lawful and at arm’s length terms, any and all of its assets that are shown in its balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is significantly lower than their market value to the extent such assets are not necessary for its business (nicht betriebsnotwendig). After the expiry of the earlier of (i) the expiry of such three (3) months’ period and (ii) the realisation of such assets, the Pledgor shall, within three (3) Business Days, notify the Collateral Agent of the amount of the net proceeds from the sale and submit a statement with a new calculation of the amount of the Net Assets of the Pledgor taking into account such proceeds. Such calculation shall, upon the Collateral Agent’s request (acting reasonably), be confirmed by the Pledgor’s auditor within a period of twenty (20) Business Days following the request.

 

- 13 -

 

 

  (f) The limitations set out in this Clause 12 shall only apply:

 

  (i) to the extent the Pledgor is not a party to a domination and/or profit and loss transfer agreement (Beherrschungs- und/oder Gewinnabführungsvertrag), unless the existence of such domination and/or profit and loss transfer agreement (Beherrschungs- und/oder Gewinnabführungsvertrag) does not lead to the inapplicability of Section 30 sub-section 1 sentence 1 GmbHG; and

 

  (ii) if the Pledgor has complied with its obligations pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (e) above; and

 

  (iii) to the extent that the Pledges do not secure any funds or guarantees which have been on-lent to, or issued for, the benefit of the Pledgor or any of its Subsidiaries and such amounts on-lent or such guarantees have not been repaid or returned prior to the receipt of the Enforcement Notice; and

 

  (iv) to the extent the Pledgor will not acquire a valuable consideration or recourse claim (vollwertiger Gegenleistungs- oder Rückgewähranspruch) against any of its direct or indirect shareholders at the time of the demand pursuant to paragraph (b) above.

 

  (g) The limitations set out in this Clause 12 shall not apply if and to the extent that they are not necessary for the purposes of protecting the Pledgor’s directors from any liability under Sections 30, 43 GmbHG.

 

  (h) No reduction of the amount enforceable under this Clause 12 in accordance with the above limitations will prejudice the rights of the Collateral Agent to continue enforcing such Pledges (subject always to the restrictions set out in this Clause 12 above at the time of such enforcement) until full and irrevocable satisfaction of the amounts owing under the Secured Claims.

 

13. Independent and continuing security

 

This Agreement shall create an independent and continuing security interest and no change or amendment whatsoever in any Notes Document or in any document or agreement related to it, nor (in deviation from Section 418 German Civil Code) any assumption of debt (Schuldübernahme) in relation to the Secured Claims, shall affect the validity or the scope of this Agreement or the obligations which are imposed on the Pledgor pursuant to it.

 

14. Release (Sicherheitenfreigabe)

 

14.1 Satisfaction of Secured Claims

 

After the Secured Claims have been satisfied in full, the Pledges will expire by operation of law. Upon request of the Pledgor, the Collateral Agent will confirm the expiration of the Pledges to the Pledgor as a matter of record and it shall reassign and retransfer to the Pledgor, which shall accept such re-assignment, all other Security Interests and, in case of realisation pursuant to Clause 11 (Enforcement) hereof, surrender to the Pledgor any excess proceeds arising from the realisation of the Pledges and the originals of all documents and related information in connection with the Security Interests (the “Documents”), notwithstanding its right to keep copies of such Documents in order to comply with its internal and statutory obligations regarding the storage of documents (Aufbewahrungsfristen), at the cost and expense of the Pledgor. The Collateral Agent will, however, transfer any IP Right or excess proceeds to a third person if so required by law.

 

- 14 -

 

 

14.2 Excessive collateral

 

If, at any time, the total value of the security interests created under the Notes Documents and realisable on enforcement (the “Realisable Value”) exceeds 110 % of the Secured Claims (the “Limit”) not only temporarily, the Collateral Agent shall on demand of the Pledgor release such Security (Sicherheitenfreigabe) as the Collateral Agent reasonably taking into account the legitimate interests of the Pledgor deems fit so as to reduce the Realisable Value to the Limit. If VAT (Umsatzsteuer) is chargeable on any action taken by the Collateral Agent in enforcing the security interests, the Limit shall be increased by the amount of VAT payable by the Collateral Agent.

 

15. Waiver of defences

 

The Pledgor hereby expressly waives all defences pursuant to Sections 770 paras. 1 and 2, 1211, 1273 German Civil Code; in case of the defence of set-off (Einrede der Aufrechenbarkeit) save to the extent that the Pledgor and/or the Issuer is in a position to discharge its Secured Claims by way of set-off of claims that are either undisputed or have been the subject of a final court judgment against claims of the Collateral Agent.

 

16. Liability and Indemnity

 

16.1 Liability for damages

 

The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by the Pledgor save in respect of such loss or damage which is suffered as a result of gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Collateral Agent.

 

16.2 Indemnification

 

The Pledgor will indemnify the Collateral Agent and keep the Collateral Agent indemnified against any losses, actions, claims, expenses, demands and liabilities which may be incurred by or made against the Collateral Agent as a result of any breach of the Pledgor of any of its obligations or undertakings herein contained unless incurred by or made against the Collateral Agent as a result of gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Collateral Agent.

 

17. Costs and expenses

 

  (a) The Pledgor shall promptly on demand pay (or procure payment) to the Collateral Agent the full amount of all costs, charges, fees and expenses (including fees for legal advisers) payable pursuant to Section 670 German Civil Code.

 

  (b) Furthermore, the Pledgor shall promptly on demand pay (or procure payment) to the Collateral Agent the full amount of all reasonably documented costs, charges, fees and expenses (including fees for legal advisers)

 

  (i) reasonably incurred by it in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, notarisation and performance of this Agreement; and

 

  (ii) incurred by it in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, or any waiver in relation thereto,

 

together in each case with any applicable value added tax or other taxes.

 

- 15 -

 

 

18. Assignment

 

This Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors in law. If and when the Pledges have been transferred to a third party by operation of law due to a transfer of the Secured Claims in accordance with the Notes Documents, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to assign or otherwise transfer any and all of its rights and duties under this Agreement to third parties in accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement provided that the assignee accepts to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. The Pledgor shall not be entitled to transfer its rights to any third party without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.

 

19. Partial invalidity

 

If any provision of this Agreement should be or become invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, this shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by such valid and enforceable provision or agreement which best meets the intended purpose of the provision required to be replaced. The same shall apply in the event that this Agreement does not contain a provision which it needs to contain in order to achieve the intended economic purpose as expressed herein.

 

20. Amendments

 

Unless otherwise required by mandatory law, changes and amendments to this Agreement (including to this Clause 20) must be made in writing.

 

21. Waivers

 

No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise or waiver of any right or remedy preclude its further exercise or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The Notes Documents shall not limit or exclude any statutory legal remedies.

8. Enforcement

 

8.1 Enforcement right

 

If and when the requirements set forth in Sections 1273 para. 2, 1204 et seq. German Civil Code with regard to the enforcement of pledges are met (Pfandreife), the Collateral Agent may realise the Pledges (or any part thereof) by way of public auction (öffentliche Versteigerung) or in any other way permitted under German law, in all cases and notwithstanding Section 1277 German Civil Code without obtaining any enforceable judgment or other instrument (vollstreckbarer Titel).

 

8.2 Notification and auction

 

  (a) The Collateral Agent shall give each Pledgor one (1) week’s prior written notice of its intention to realise the security interests granted by such Pledgor hereunder. However, such notice is not necessary if such Pledgor has ceased to make payments, if an application for the institution of insolvency proceedings or similar proceedings is filed by or against such Pledgor, if there is reason to believe that observance of the notice period will materially and adversely affect the security interest of the Collateral Agent or if otherwise inappropriate (untunlich) in the meaning of Section 1234 para. 1 German Civil Code.

 

  (b) The public auction may be held at any place in the Federal Republic of Germany which will be determined by the Collateral Agent. Section 1237 sentence 2 German Civil Code shall not apply.

 

  (c) No further notices are required to initiate the enforcement of the Pledges.

 

- 7 -

 

 

8.3 Collateral Agent’s discretions

 

The Collateral Agent may in its sole discretion determine which part of the Pledges shall be realised to satisfy the Secured Claims. Section 1230 sentence 2 German Civil Code shall not apply.

 

8.4 Assistance by Pledgors

 

If the Collateral Agent seeks to realise the Pledges pursuant to, and in accordance with Clause 8.1 (Enforcement right), the Pledgors shall, at their own expense, render forthwith all assistance reasonably necessary in order to facilitate the prompt sale of the Shares, any part thereof, the prompt enforcement and realisation of the Ancillary Rights and/or the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any other right the Collateral Agent may have under German law.

 

8.5 Dividends

 

Provided that the requirements for a realisation referred to under Clause 8.1 (Enforcement right) above are met, all dividends and other payments, if any, which have been or will be made to the Collateral Agent and, as the case may be, all payments based on similar ancillary rights attributed to the Shares may be applied by the Collateral Agent in satisfaction in whole or in part of the Secured Claims.

 

9. Independent and continuing security

 

This Agreement shall create an independent and continuing security interest and no change or amendment whatsoever in any Notes Document or in any document or agreement related to it, nor (in deviation from Section 418 German Civil Code) any assumption of debt (Schuldübernahme) in relation to the Secured Claims, shall affect the validity or the scope of this Agreement or the obligations which are imposed on the Pledgors pursuant to it.

 

10. Release (Sicherheitenfreigabe)

 

10.1 Satisfaction of Secured Claims

 

After the Secured Claims have been satisfied in full, the Pledges will expire by operation of law. Upon request of the Pledgors, the Collateral Agent will confirm the expiration of the Pledges to the Pledgors as a matter of record and, in case of realisation pursuant to Clause 8 (Enforcement) hereof, surrender to the Pledgors any excess proceeds arising from the realisation of the Shares and the Ancillary Rights at the cost and expense of the Pledgors, unless the Collateral Agent is obliged to transfer such proceeds to a third party.

 

10.2 Excessive collateral

 

If, at any time, the total value of the security interests created under the Notes Documents and realisable on enforcement (the “Realisable Value”) exceeds 110 % of the Secured Claims (the “Limit”) not only temporarily, the Collateral Agent shall on demand of each Pledgor release such Security (Sicherheitenfreigabe) as the Collateral Agent (reasonably taking into account the legitimate interests of each Pledgor) deems fit so as to reduce the Realisable Value to the Limit. If VAT (Umsatzsteuer) is chargeable on any action taken by the Collateral Agent in enforcing the Security, the Limit shall be increased by the amount of VAT payable by the Collateral Agent.

 

- 8 -

2. Pledge

 

2.1 Pledges of Bank Accounts and Ancillary Rights

2.2 Current Account

 

If and to the extent that there are any genuine or non-genuine current account (Kontokorrent) Bank Accounts between the Pledgor and any of the Account Banks or if such a relationship is entered into at any time after the date hereof, the Pledgor hereby pledges to each of the Collateral Agent in addition to the foregoing its rights to terminate any such current account relationship and the right to determine the present balance as well as any claims resulting from balances already drawn or to be drawn in the future.

 

2.3 Acceptance

 

The Collateral Agent hereby accepts the Pledges created pursuant to Clauses 2.1 (Pledges of Bank Accounts and Ancillary Rights) and 2.2 (Current Account).

 

2.4 Independent Pledges

 

The validity and effect of each of the Pledges shall be independent from the validity and the effect of any of the other Pledges. The Pledges to the Collateral Agent shall be separate and individual pledges.

The Pledgor will keep the mail receipt of the notification and promptly, but in any case within five (5) Business Days from its receipt, send a copy of both the mail receipt and the acknowledgement to the Collateral Agent. Upon expiry of this period and if no duly countersigned notification can be obtained from the relevant Account Bank, the obligation to obtain a countersigned notification from the relevant Account Bank ceases, provided that the failure to receive such countersigned notification shall in no way impact or effect the validity of the Pledge.

 

- 3 -

 

 

  (b) The Pledgor hereby authorises the Collateral Agent to provide any Account Bank, upon its request in case it has doubts about the Pledges notified to it according to this Clause 4, with a copy of this Agreement.

 

  (c) The Pledgor hereby authorises the Collateral Agent, if the Pledgor has failed to comply with Clause 4(a), to notify any Account Bank on its behalf of the Pledges for the purpose of Clause 4(a) above.

5. Authorisation

 

  (a) Unless the Collateral Agent gives notice to the contrary to the Pledgor or the Account Bank (with a notice to the Pledgor to follow), the Pledgor shall have the right to exercise all rights and powers in respect of each of the Bank Accounts without limitation.

 

  (b) The Collateral Agent shall only be entitled to revoke the authorisation if a Default has occurred that has not been cured or waived.

  (c) it does not hold any bank account other than those listed in Schedule 1 (Bank Accounts) hereto;

7. Undertakings

 

The Pledgor undertakes

 

  (a) to procure that:

 

  (i) all cash and all present and future receivables of the Pledgor are duly paid into the Bank Accounts or any other bank accounts pledged to the satisfaction of the Collateral Agent; and

 

  (ii) any and all of its debtors will be instructed to make payment into such Bank Accounts or any other bank accounts pledged to the satisfaction of the Collateral Agent;

 

  (b) to inform the Collateral Agent promptly after becoming aware of, and in any event no later than within two (2) Business Days thereafter, of any attachments (Pfändung) in respect of any of the Bank Accounts or any other events, circumstances or measures which may impair or jeopardise the Collateral Agent’s rights or interests relating thereto. In the event of an attachment, the Pledgor undertakes in relation to its Bank Accounts to promptly, and in any event no later than two (2) Business Days, after receipt, forward to the Collateral Agent a copy of the attachment order (Pfändungsbeschluss), the garnishee order (Überweisungsbeschluss) and all other documents necessary for a defence against the attachment. The Pledgor shall promptly, and in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after becoming aware of, inform the attaching creditor of the Collateral Agents security interests hereunder;

 

  (c) to release each Account Bank for the benefit of the Collateral Agent from its obligations to maintain confidentiality (Bankgeheimnis) in relation to the Bank Accounts and to instruct each Account Bank to provide the Collateral Agent with all information concerning the Bank Accounts reasonably requested by it. The Pledgor shall not revoke such instruction during the term hereof, except with the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent;

  (e) not to encumber or otherwise dispose of the claims in respect of the Bank Accounts (or any of them) or to grant to any third party any rights in respect of any Bank Account without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent other than the pledges of the relevant Account Bank existing pursuant to its general business conditions (Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen).

 

8. Enforcement

 

8.1 Enforcement right

 

If and when the requirements set forth in Sections 1273 para. 2, 1204 et seq. German Civil Code with regard to the enforcement of pledges are met (Pfandreife), the Collateral Agent may realise the Pledges (or any part thereof) by way of collecting the credit balances from the Bank Accounts or in any other way permitted under German law, in any case notwithstanding Section 1277 German Civil Code and without obtaining an enforceable judgment or other instrument (vollstreckbarer Titel).

 

- 5 -

 

 

8.2 Notification

 

The Collateral Agent shall give the Pledgor one (1) week’s prior written notice of its intention to realise the security interests granted by it hereunder. However, such notice is not necessary to the Pledgor who has ceased to make payments, if an application for the institution of insolvency proceedings or similar proceedings is filed by or against it, if there is reason to believe that observance of the notice period will materially and adversely affect the security interest of the Collateral Agent or if otherwise inappropriate (untunlich) in the meaning of Section 1234 para. 1 German Civil Code.

 

8.3 Collateral Agent’s discretions

 

The Collateral Agent may determine in its sole discretion which part of the Pledges shall be realised to satisfy the Secured Claims. Section 1230 sentence 2 German Civil Code shall not apply.

 

8.4 Assistance by Pledgor

 

If the Collateral Agent seeks to realise the Pledges pursuant to, and in accordance with Clause 8.1 (Enforcement right), the Pledgor shall, at its own expense, render forthwith all assistance reasonably necessary in order to facilitate the prompt realisation of the Pledges, any part thereof and/or the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any other right it may have under German law.

 

8.5 Proceeds

 

The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to treat the proceeds resulting from the enforcement of the Pledges as additional collateral for the Secured Claims or apply such proceeds towards the satisfaction of the Secured Claims in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

8.6 No subrogation of claims

 

If the Pledges are enforced or if the Pledgor has discharged any of the Secured Claims (or any part of them), Section 1225 of the German Civil Code (legal subrogation of claims to a pledgor - Forderungsübergang auf den Verpfänder) shall not apply and no rights of the Collateral Agent shall pass to the Pledgor by subrogation or otherwise.

 

9. Limitation of enforcement

 

  (a) The Collateral Agent agrees not to enforce the Pledges granted by the Pledgor if and to the extent that:

 

  (i) the Pledges secure the obligations or liabilities of:

 

  (A) a member of the Group that is not a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Pledgor; or

 

- 6 -

 

 

  (B) a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Pledgor if and to the extent the Pledges secure obligations or liabilities of a member of the Group that is not a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Pledgor

 

(an “Up-Stream or Cross-Stream Security”); and

 

  (ii) the Pledgor demonstrates pursuant to paragraph (b) below that the enforcement otherwise had the effect of:

 

  (A) reducing the net assets (Reinvermögen) calculated in accordance with the accounting principles as consistently applied and the jurisprudence from time to time of the German Federal Supreme Court (Bundesgerichtshof) relating to the protection of liable capital under Sections 30 and 31 of the German Limited Liability Companies Act (“GmbHG”) (as amended from time to time) (the “Net Assets”) of the Pledgor to an amount which is less than the amount required to maintain its stated share capital (Stammkapital); or

 

  (B) increasing an existing shortage of its stated share capital.

 

provided that, for the purposes of the calculation of the enforceable amount (if any):

 

  (I) the amount of any increase of the stated share capital (Stammkapital) of the Pledgor after the date of this Agreement out of retained earnings shall be deducted from the stated share capital (Stammkapital) unless the Collateral Agent has granted its prior written consent to such increase of the stated share capital;

 

  (II) in case the stated share capital (Stammkapital) of the Pledgor is not fully paid in, the amount by which the stated share capital (Stammkapital) exceeds the amount of the share capital paid in shall be deducted from the stated share capital (Stammkapital);

 

  (III) loans provided to the Pledgor shall be disregarded if and to the extent such loans are made (A) by a direct or indirect shareholder of the Pledgor or any member of the Group and (B) a waiver (Erlass) of such loan is possible and permitted under the Notes Documents and would not result in the managing director of the creditor of such loan incurring a risk of personal liability; and

 

  (IV) loans and other liabilities incurred by the Pledgor in wilful or grossly negligent violation of the provisions of the Notes Documents shall be disregarded.

 

  (b) Subject to paragraph (d) below, the limitations set out in the preceding paragraph shall only apply if and to the extent that:

 

  (i) ‎within fifteen (15) Business Days following the receipt by the Pledgor of a notice from the Collateral Agent stating that the Collateral Agent intends to enforce the Pledges (the “Enforcement Notice”) the Pledgor has confirmed in writing to the Collateral Agent:

 

  (A) to what extent the Pledges are an Up-Stream or Cross-Stream Security; and

 

- 7 -

 

 

  (B) of the amount of such Up-Stream or Cross-Stream Security which cannot be enforced as it would otherwise cause its Net Assets to fall below its stated share capital or increase an existing shortage of its stated share capital(setting out in reasonable detail to what extent the share capital would fall below the stated share capital or an increase of an existing shortage would occur, providing an up-to-date pro forma balance sheet and reasonable supporting detail) (the “Management Determination”);

 

the Management Determination shall be prepared as of the date of the receipt of the Enforcement Notice. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to enforce the Pledges in an amount which would, in accordance with the Management Determination, not cause the Pledgor’s Net Assets to fall below its stated share capital or increase an existing shortage of its stated share capital; and

 

  (ii) if the Collateral Agent notifies the Pledgor that it disagrees with the Management Determination, within twenty (20) Business Days following such notice the Pledgor has provided the Collateral Agent (at the cost of the Pledgor) with a determination by auditors of international standard and reputation (the “Auditor’s Determination”) appointed by the Pledgor of the amount that would have been necessary on the date of the receipt of the Enforcement Notice to maintain its stated share capital or to avoid the increase of an existing shortage of its stated share capital. The Auditor’s Determination shall be prepared in accordance with the accounting principles as consistently applied and shall include an up-to-date balance sheet of the Pledgor and shall contain further information (in reasonable detail) relating to the items to be adjusted pursuant to paragraph (a) above. The Collateral Agent shall only be entitled to enforce the Pledges in an amount which on the basis of the Auditor’s Determination (or pending its delivery, on the basis of the Management Determination) can be enforced in compliance with the limitations set out in paragraph (a) above.

 

  (c) If the Collateral Agent disagrees with the Auditor’s Determination, it shall notify the Pledgor accordingly. The Collateral Agent shall only be entitled to enforce the Pledges up to the amount which on the basis of the Auditor’s Determination can be enforced in compliance with the limitations set out in paragraph (a) above. In relation to the amount which is disputed by the Collateral Agent, it shall be entitled to further pursue the right to enforce the Pledges in court.

 

  (d) If the Pledges were enforced without limitation because the Management Determination and/or the Auditor’s Determination (as the case may be) was not delivered within the relevant time frame but is then subsequently delivered, the Collateral Agent shall, upon written demand of the Pledgor (such demand to be made no later than three (3) months (Ausschlussfrist) after the enforcement of the Pledges granted by the Pledgor), repay to the Pledgor any amount received by it from the enforcement of the Pledges which is necessary to maintain the Pledgor’s stated share capital or to avoid the increase of an existing shortage of its stated share capital, calculated as of the date of the receipt of the Enforcement Notice.

 

- 8 -

 

 

  (e) Where the Pledgor claims in accordance with the provisions of paragraphs (b) and (d) above that the Pledges can only be enforced in a limited amount, it shall within three (3) months upon request of the Collateral Agent realise, to the extent lawful and at arm’s length terms, any and all of its assets that are shown in its balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is significantly lower than their market value to the extent such assets are not necessary for its business (nicht betriebsnotwendig). After the expiry of the earlier of (i) the expiry of such three (3) months’ period and (ii) the realisation of such assets, the Pledgor shall, within three (3) Business Days, notify the Collateral Agent of the amount of the net proceeds from the sale and submit a statement with a new calculation of the amount of the Net Assets of the Pledgor taking into account such proceeds. Such calculation shall, upon the Collateral Agent’s request (acting reasonably), be confirmed by the Pledgor’s auditor within a period of twenty (20) Business Days following the request.

 

  (f) The limitations set out in this Clause 9 shall only apply:

 

  (i) to the extent the Pledgor is not a party to a domination and/or profit and loss transfer agreement (Beherrschungs- und/oder Gewinnabführungsvertrag), unless the existence of such domination and/or profit and loss transfer agreement (Beherrschungs- und/oder Gewinnabführungsvertrag) does not lead to the inapplicability of Section 30 sub-section 1 sentence 1 GmbHG; and

 

  (ii) if the Pledgor has complied with its obligations pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (e) above; and

 

  (iii) to the extent that the Pledges do not secure any funds or guarantees which have been on-lent to, or issued for, the benefit of the Pledgor or any of its Subsidiaries and such amounts on-lent or such guarantees have not been repaid or returned prior to the receipt of the Enforcement Notice; and

 

  (iv) to the extent the Pledgor will not acquire a valuable consideration or recourse claim (vollwertiger Gegenleistungs- oder Rückgewähranspruch) against any of its direct or indirect shareholders at the time of the demand pursuant to paragraph (b) above.

 

  (g) The limitations set out in this Clause 9 shall not apply if and to the extent that they are not necessary for the purposes of protecting the Pledgor’s directors from any liability under Sections 30, 43 GmbHG.

 

  (h) No reduction of the amount enforceable under this Clause 9 in accordance with the above limitations will prejudice the rights of the Collateral Agent to continue enforcing such Pledges (subject always to the restrictions set out in this Clause 9 above at the time of such enforcement) until full and irrevocable satisfaction of the amounts owing under the Secured Claims.

 

10. Independent and continuing security

 

This Agreement shall create an independent and continuing security interest and no change or amendment whatsoever in any Notes Document or in any document or agreement related to it, nor (in deviation from Section 418 German Civil Code) any assumption of debt (Schuldübernahme) in relation to the Secured Claims, shall affect the validity or the scope of this Agreement or the obligations which are imposed on the Pledgor pursuant to it.

11. Release (Sicherheitenfreigabe)

 

11.1 Satisfaction of Secured Claims

 

After the Secured Claims have been satisfied in full, the Pledges will expire by operation of law. Upon request of the Pledgor, the Collateral Agent will confirm the expiration of the Pledges to the Pledgor as a matter of record and, in case of realisation pursuant to Clause 8 (Enforcement) hereof, surrender to the Pledgor any excess proceeds arising from the realisation of the Pledges at the cost and expense of the Pledgor, unless the Collateral Agent is obliged to transfer such proceeds to a third party.

 

11.2 Excessive collateral

 

If, at any time, the total value of the security interests created under the Notes Documents and realisable on enforcement (the “Realisable Value”) exceeds 110 % of the Secured Claims (the “Limit”) not only temporarily, the Collateral Agent shall on demand of the Pledgor release such Security (Sicherheitenfreigabe) as the Collateral Agent reasonably taking into account the legitimate interests of the Pledgor deems fit so as to reduce the Realisable Value to the Limit. If VAT (Umsatzsteuer) is chargeable on any action taken by the Collateral Agent in enforcing the Transaction Security, the Limit shall be increased by the amount of VAT payable by the Collateral Agent.

 

12. Waiver of defences

 

The Pledgor hereby expressly waives all defences pursuant to Sections 770 paras. 1 and 2, 1211, 1273 German Civil Code; in case of the defence of set-off (Einrede der Aufrechenbarkeit) save to the extent that the Pledgor and/or the relevant Obligor is in a position to discharge its Secured Claims by way of set-off of claims that are either undisputed or have been the subject of a final court judgment against claims of the relevant Finance Party or Finance Parties.

 

13. Liability and Indemnity

 

13.1 Liability for damages

 

The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by the Pledgor save in respect of such loss or damage which is suffered as a result of gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Collateral Agent.

 

13.2 Indemnification

 

The Pledgor will indemnify the Collateral Agent and keep the Collateral Agent indemnified against any losses, actions, claims, expenses, demands and liabilities which may be incurred by or made against the Collateral Agent as a result of any breach of the Pledgor of any of its obligations or undertakings herein contained unless incurred by or made against the Collateral Agent as a result of gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Collateral Agent.

 

14. Costs and expenses

 

  (a) The Pledgor shall promptly on demand pay (or procure payment) to the Collateral Agent the full amount of all costs, charges, fees and expenses (including fees for legal advisers) payable pursuant to Section 670 German Civil Code.

 

  (b) Furthermore, it shall promptly on demand pay (or procure payment) to the Collateral Agent the full amount of all reasonably documented costs, charges, fees and expenses (including fees for legal advisers)

 

- 10 -

 

 

  (i) reasonably incurred by it in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, notarisation and performance of this Agreement; and

 

  (ii) incurred by it in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, or any waiver in relation thereto,

 

together in each case with any applicable value added tax or other taxes.

 

15. Assignment

 

This Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors in law. If and when the Pledges have been transferred to a third party by operation of law due to a transfer of the Secured Claims in accordance with the Notes Documents, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to assign or otherwise transfer any and all of its rights and duties under this Agreement to third parties in accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement provided that the assignee accepts to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. The Pledgor shall not be entitled to transfer its rights to any third party without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.

 

16. Partial invalidity

 

If any provision of this Agreement should be or become invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, this shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by such valid and enforceable provision or agreement which best meets the intended purpose of the provision required to be replaced. The same shall apply in the event that this Agreement does not contain a provision which it needs to contain in order to achieve the intended economic purpose as expressed herein.

 

17. Amendments

 

Unless otherwise required by mandatory law, changes and amendments to this Agreement (including to this Clause 17) must be made in writing.

 

18. Waivers

 

No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent in exercising any right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise or waiver of any right or remedy preclude its further exercise or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The Notes Documents shall not limit or exclude any statutory legal remedies.

Notification and Acknowledgment of Pledge and Waiver

 

Dear Sirs

 

Reference is made to the following bank accounts held by Veraxa Biotech AG (the “Pledgor”) with you (the “Bank Accounts”):

 

[Bank Accounts]

 

You are hereby notified that the Pledgor and [insert name of Collateral Agent], as Collateral Agent and pledgee acting for itself and as direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) in the name and for the account of certain other pledgees (the “Collateral Agent”), have entered into a bank account pledge agreement (the “Agreement”). Thereby, the Pledgor has pledged to the Collateral Agent and the pledgees all of its existing and future rights, claims, benefits and interest in and to the Bank Accounts, including, without limitation, the balances standing to the credit of the Pledgor from time to time (the “Pledged Assets”).

 

Prior to the notification to you by the Collateral Agent of the occurrence of an event of default, the Pledgor remains authorised to dispose of and/or administer the Pledged Assets and to deal with the Bank Accounts at its full and sole discretion (including the closing of Bank Accounts).

 

Bank Account Pledge Agreement – Veraxa Biotech Holding AG18

 

 

Upon the notification to you by the Collateral Agent of an event of default (i) the Collateral Agent has the right to immediately and freely dispose of the Pledged Assets, to withdraw funds from, and to administrate and/or close, the Bank Accounts; (ii) the Pledgor is not entitled anymore to dispose of any Pledged Assets or to withdraw funds from the Bank Accounts without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent; (iii) the Collateral Agent may give you respective instructions without any restrictions (the “Instructions”); and (iv) you may only validly discharge your obligations in respect of the Pledged Assets by payment/transfer in accordance with the Instructions.

 

You may fully – without any responsibility on your side – rely on the Instructions and any notification sent to you on the letterhead of the Collateral Agent, whether delivered in form of an original or of a copy and you are released from any duty to verify (i) the authenticity of any signature; (ii) the signature power of any individual that has signed any Instruction or any notification on behalf of the Collateral Agent; or (iii) the veracity of the statements contained in the Instructions or notification.

 

The Pledgor herewith waives any secrecy rights in relation to the Pledged Assets for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, and you are herewith released from banking secrecy and any other statutory or contractual confidentiality obligations for all purposes in connection with the Pledged Assets. We hereby authorise and instruct you to disclose, upon request of the Collateral Agent, any information relating to the Pledged Assets to the Collateral Agent.

 

Furthermore, we hereby ask you, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other pledgees, to irrevocably waive any prior-ranking right of pledge, any prior-ranking right of other security and any right of set-off you have over, or in relation to, the Pledged Assets, as long as the pledge created under the Agreement is in effect, provided that such rights shall remain in full force and effect as second ranking security interests and shall be automatically reinstated upon the release of the Pledged Assets.

 

The Pledgor undertakes to release and hold you harmless (i) from all liabilities of whatever nature incurred by you in connection with the Agreement; and (ii) from all claims asserted against you out of, or in connection with, the Agreement, save in case of wilful misconduct or gross negligence on your part.

 

Any reference made in this notification to the Collateral Agent shall include a reference to any of its successors, permitted assignees and transferees.

 

This letter shall be subject to and governed by Swiss substantive law. The exclusive place of jurisdiction shall be the city of Zurich, Switzerland, venue being 1.

 

We kindly ask you to return a duly countersigned copy of this letter to the Pledgor in order to acknowledge your consent to the matters set forth therein.

All payments made under this Agreement shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America or wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as the Company may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Upon the written or oral request of the Investor, the Company shall promptly confirm orally or in writing to the Investor the number of Ordinary Shares then outstanding. The Investor, upon written notice to the Company, may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Ordinary Shares pursuant to this Agreement and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such written notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The Investor and the Company shall each cooperate in good faith in the determinations required hereby and the application hereof. The Investor’s written certification to the Company of the applicability of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the resulting effect thereof hereunder at any time, shall be conclusive with respect to the applicability thereof and such result absent manifest error.

Neither Voyager, nor or any of its affiliates that it controls, nor any Person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to purchase any security, under circumstances that would require registration of the offer and sale of any of the Securities under the Securities Act, whether through aggregation or integration with prior offerings or otherwise, or cause this offering of the Securities to be aggregated or integrated with prior offerings by Voyager in a manner that would require shareholder approval pursuant to the rules of the Principal Market on which any of the securities of Voyager are to be listed or designated.

(x) Disclosure. Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents that will be timely publicly disclosed by Voyager, Voyager confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided the Investor or its agents or counsel with any information that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information which is not otherwise disclosed in the Registration Statement or the SEC Documents. Voyager understands and confirms that the Investor will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting purchases and sales of the Securities. All of the disclosure furnished by or on behalf of Voyager to the Investor regarding Voyager, its business and the transactions contemplated hereby is true and correct in all material respects and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Each of Voyager and the Company further agrees that the Company shall file with the SEC, within thirty (30) days of the date of Closing, a new registration statement (as amended or supplemented or replaced with a New Registration Statement, the “Registration Statement”) covering the resale of the Purchase Shares and all of the Commitment Shares in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement among Voyager, the Company and the Investor, dated as of the date hereof (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), provided, however, that the Company may delay filing or suspend the use of any registration statement if the Company determines, upon advice of legal counsel, that in order for the registration statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, or if the Company’s Board of Directors, upon advice of legal counsel, reasonably believes that such filing or use could materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Company or would require premature disclosure of information that could materially adversely affect the Company. The Company shall permit the Investor to review and comment upon the final pre-filing draft version of the Current Report at least two (2) Business Days prior to its filing with the SEC and, with respect to information regarding the Investor or the transaction contemplated hereby, Voyager and the Company shall not file the Current Report or the Registration Statement, respectively, with the SEC in a form to which the Investor reasonably objects.

The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing of the Ordinary Shares on the Principal Market and shall comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules and regulations of the Principal Market.

The Company shall promptly, and in no event later than the following Business Day, provide to the Investor copies of any notices it receives from any Person regarding the continued eligibility of the Ordinary Shares for listing on the Principal Market; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to provide the Investor copies of any such notice that the Company reasonably believes constitutes material non-public information and the Company would not be required to publicly disclose such notice in any report or statement filed with the SEC and under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act.

The Investor shall not have any liability to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, Voyager, any of its subsidiaries, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, shareholders, or agents, for any such disclosure.

(i) Aggregation. From and after the date of this Agreement, neither the Company, nor or any of its affiliates will, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that no Person acting on their behalf will, directly or indirectly, make any offers or sales of any security or solicit any offers to purchase any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the Securities by the Company to the Investor to be aggregated with other offerings by the Company in a manner that would require shareholder approval pursuant to the rules of the Principal Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated, unless shareholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction in accordance with the rules of such Principal Market.

(the “Fee Modification Agreement”).

 

(l) Integration. From and after the date of this Agreement, neither Voyager nor the Company, nor or any of their respective affiliates will, and each of Voyager and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that no Person acting on its behalf will, directly or indirectly, make any offers or sales of any security or solicit any offers to purchase any security, under circumstances that would require registration of the offer and sale of any of the Securities under the Securities Act; provided, however, that this Section 5(l) shall not prohibit or restrict (i) the issuance of any securities (including any promissory notes, convertible notes and warrants) to High Trail Special Situations II LLC or HT Investments MA LLC, or any of their respective affiliates, pursuant to the HT Purchase Agreement or the transaction documents related thereto, (ii) any issuance of Ordinary Shares upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any such securities, or (iii) the issuance of Ordinary Shares, solely as underwriter compensation, to Cantor Fitzgerald & Co pursuant to the Fee Modification Agreement.

25

 

 

or breach of any representation or warranty made by Voyager in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document executed by Voyager contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Voyager contained in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee and arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, other than, in the case of clause (c), with respect to Indemnified Liabilities which result directly and primarily from the fraud, gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of an Indemnitee. The indemnity in this Section 9(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of Voyager, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by Voyager may be unenforceable for any reason, Voyager shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date the Investor makes written request for it. A certificate containing reasonable detail as to the amount of such indemnification submitted to Voyager by the Investor shall be conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, of the amount due from Voyager to the Investor; provided that the Indemnitee shall undertake to repay any amounts paid to it hereunder if it is ultimately determined, by a final and non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Indemnified Liabilities by Voyager pursuant to this Agreement. If any action shall be brought against any Indemnitee in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify Voyager in writing, and Voyager shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee. Any Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnitee, except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by Voyager in writing, (ii) Voyager has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of Voyager and the position of such Indemnitee, in which case Voyager shall be responsible for the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel.

 

(b) In consideration of the Investor’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities hereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Investor and all of its Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities, actually incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document executed by the Company contemplated hereby or thereby, or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee and arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, other than, in the case of clause (c), with respect to Indemnified Liabilities which result from the fraud, gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of an Indemnitee. The indemnity in this Section 9(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, The Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date Investor makes written request for it. A certificate containing reasonable detail as to the amount of such indemnification submitted to the Company by the Investor shall be conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, of the amount due from the Company to the Investor; provided that the Indemnitee shall undertake to repay any amounts paid to it hereunder if it is ultimately determined, by a final and non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Indemnified Liabilities by the Company pursuant to this Agreement. If any action shall be brought against any Indemnitee in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee. Any Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnitee, except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Indemnitee, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any indemnification provided by Voyager and the Company shall be netted against each other so as not to result in duplicate recoveries for the same losses.

(a) If pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law, the Company commences a voluntary case or any Person commences a proceeding against the Company, a Custodian is appointed for the Company or for all or substantially all of its property, or the Company makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors (any of which must be a Suspension Event as described in Sections 10(f), 10(g) and 10(h) hereof), this Agreement shall automatically terminate without any liability or payment to the Company (except as set forth below) without further action or notice by any Person; provided that, in connection with a Suspension Event described in Section 10(g), this Agreement shall only terminate if any such proceeding shall continue for sixty (60) days without being dismissed, bonded or discharged.

 

(b) In the event that the Commencement shall not have occurred on or before September 31, 2026, due to the failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Sections 7 and 8 above with respect to the Commencement, then this Agreement may be terminated by any party at the close of business on October 1, 2026 or thereafter, in each case without liability of such party to the other party (except as set forth below); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11(b) shall not be available to any party if such party is then in breach of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any representation or warranty of such party contained in this Agreement fails to be true and correct such that the conditions set forth in Section 7(d) or Section 8(e), as applicable, could not then be satisfied; provided, further, however that if the full amount of the Commitment Shares have been paid to Investor, Investor shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11(b).

 

(c) At any time after the Commencement Date, the Company shall have the option to terminate this Agreement for any reason or for no reason by delivering notice (a “Company Termination Notice”) to the Investor electing to terminate this Agreement without any liability whatsoever of any party to any other party under this Agreement (except as set forth below).

(i) Publicity. Each of Voyager and the Company shall afford the Investor and its counsel with the opportunity to review and comment upon, shall consult with the Investor and its counsel on the form and substance of, and shall give due consideration to all such comments from the Investor or its counsel on, any press release, SEC filing, or any other public disclosure by or on behalf of Voyager or the Company relating to the Investor, its purchases hereunder or any aspect of the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, not less than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the issuance, filing or public disclosure thereof.

(j) Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to consummate and make effective, as soon as reasonably possible, the Commencement, and to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Each of Voyager and the Company shall be responsible for the payment of any fees or commissions, if any, of any financial advisor, placement agent, broker or finder engaged by it relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Each of Voyager and the Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Investor and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. Each of Voyager and the Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Investor shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

If: (i) this Agreement is placed by the Investor in the hands of an attorney for enforcement or is enforced by the Investor through any legal proceeding; (ii) an attorney is retained to represent the Investor in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceedings affecting creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Agreement; or (iii) subject to Section 9, an attorney is retained to represent the Investor in any other proceedings whatsoever in connection with this Agreement, then the Company shall pay to the Investor, as incurred by the Investor, all reasonable costs and expenses including attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith, in addition to all other amounts due hereunder.

 

(o) Amendment and Waiver; Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived by the parties from and after the date that is one (1) Business Day immediately preceding the filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, (i) no provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by a written instrument signed by both parties hereto and (ii) no provision of this Agreement may be waived other than in a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. No failure or delay in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

 

(p) Adjustments for Share Splits. The parties acknowledge and agree that all share-related numbers contained in this Agreement shall be adjusted to take into account any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, share split, reverse share split or other similar transaction effected with respect to the Ordinary Shares except as specifically stated herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Voyager, the Company and the Buyer hereby agree as follows:

 

1. DEFINITIONS.

 

As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

(a) “Commitment Shares” the Ordinary Shares issued to the Buyer by the Company as consideration for the Buyer’s execution and delivery the Purchase Agreement.

 

(b) “Investor” means the Buyer, any transferee or assignee thereof to whom a Buyer assigns its rights under this Agreement in accordance with Section 9 and who agrees to become bound by the provisions of this Agreement, and any transferee or assignee thereof to whom a transferee or assignee assigns its rights under this Agreement in accordance with Section 9 and who agrees to become bound by the provisions of this Agreement.

 

 

 

 

(c) “Person” means any individual or entity including but not limited to any corporation, a limited liability company, an exempted company, an association, a partnership, an exempted partnership, an organization, a business, an individual, a governmental or political subdivision thereof or a governmental agency.

 

(d) “Register,” “registered,” and “registration” refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing one or more registration statements of the Company in compliance with the Securities Act and pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any successor rule providing for offering securities on a continuous basis (“Rule 415”), and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration statement(s) by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

(e) “Registrable Securities” means all of the Commitment Shares and all of the Purchase Shares that may, from time to time, be issued or become issuable to the Investor under the Purchase Agreement (without regard to any limitation or restriction on purchases), and any and all capital stock issued or issuable with respect to the Purchase Shares or the Commitment Shares or the Purchase Agreement as a result of any share split, reverse share split, share dividend, recapitalization, exchange or similar event or otherwise, without regard to any limitation on purchases under the Purchase Agreement.

 

(f) “Registration Statement” means one or more registration statements of the Company covering the sale of the Registrable Securities.

 

2. REGISTRATION.

 

(a) Mandatory Registration. The Company shall, within thirty (30) days following the date of the Closing, file with the SEC an initial Registration Statement covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities as shall be permitted to be included thereon in accordance with applicable SEC rules, regulations and interpretations so as to permit the resale of such Registrable Securities by the Investor under Rule 415 under the Securities Act at then prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices), as mutually determined by both the Company and the Investor in consultation with their respective legal counsel, subject to the aggregate number of authorized shares then available for issuance in its certificate of incorporation, as in effect at Closing, and the issuance limitations of the Principal Market, provided, however, that the Company may delay filing or suspend the use of any Registration Statement if the Company determines, upon advice from legal counsel, that in order for the Registration Statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed. The Investor and its counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement and any related prospectus prior to its filing with the SEC, and the Company shall give due consideration to all such comments. The Investor shall furnish all information reasonably requested by the Company for inclusion therein. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement and any amendment declared effective by the SEC at the earliest practicable date. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act and available for the resale by the Investor of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby at all times until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Investor shall have resold all the Registrable Securities covered thereby and no Available Amount remains under the Purchase Agreement, (ii) such Registrable Securities may be sold without registration pursuant to Rule 144 (as defined below) without limitation as to volume and manner of sale restrictions and no Available Amount remains under the Purchase Agreement, (iii) six months after the termination of the Purchase Agreement, and (iv) one year after the date on which no Available Amount remains under the Purchase Agreement (the “Registration Period”). The Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.

 

2

 

 

(b) Rule 424 Prospectus. The Company shall, as required by applicable securities regulations, from time to time file with the SEC, pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, the prospectus and prospectus supplements, if any, to be used in connection with sales of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement. The Investor and its counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such prospectus prior to its filing with the SEC, and the Company shall give due consideration to all such comments; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to provide, and the Investor shall not have the opportunity to review, any prospectus supplement filed solely to include in the Registration Statement, from time to time, documents filed with, or furnished to, the SEC by the Company under the Exchange Act (as defined below). The Investor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to comment upon such prospectus within one (1) Business Day from the date the Investor receives the substantially final pre-filing version of such prospectus.

 

(c) Sufficient Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares available under the Registration Statement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall file a new Registration Statement (a “New Registration Statement”), so as to cover all of such Registrable Securities (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2(a)) as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days after the necessity therefor arises, subject to any limits that may be imposed by the SEC pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such New Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof.

 

(d) Offering. If the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) or the SEC seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of securities that does not permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used for resales by the Investor under Rule 415 at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices), or if after the filing of the initial Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), the Company is otherwise required by the Staff or the SEC to reduce the number of Registrable Securities included in such initial Registration Statement, then the Company shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such initial Registration Statement (with the prior consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, of the Investor as to the specific Registrable Securities to be removed therefrom) until such time as the Staff and the SEC shall so permit such Registration Statement to become effective and be used as aforesaid. In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall file one or more New Registration Statements in accordance with Section 2(c) until such time as all Registrable Securities have been included in Registration Statements that have been declared effective and the prospectus contained therein is available for use by the Investor. Notwithstanding any provision herein or in the Purchase Agreement to the contrary, the Company’s obligations to register Registrable Securities (and any related conditions to the Investor’s obligations) shall be qualified as necessary to comport with any requirement of the SEC or the Staff as addressed in this Section 2(d).

 

3. RELATED OBLIGATIONS.

 

With respect to the Registration Statement and whenever any Registrable Securities are to be registered pursuant to Section 2 including on any New Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:

 

(a) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to any Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act in connection with the offer, issuance and sale of the Registrable Securities.

 

3

 

 

(b) The Company shall permit the Investor to review and comment upon the final pre-filing draft version of the Current Report at least two (2) Business Days prior to its filing with the SEC and, with respect to information regarding the Investor or the transaction contemplated hereby, the Company shall not file the Current Report or the Registration Statement with the SEC in a form to which the Investor reasonably objects. The Investor shall use its reasonable best efforts to comment upon the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto within two (2) Business Days from the date the Investor receives the final version thereof. The Company shall furnish to the Investor, without charge any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating to the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement.

 

(c) Upon request of the Investor, the Company shall furnish to the Investor, (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at least one copy of such Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, a copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as the Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as the Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by the Investor. For the avoidance of doubt, any filing available to the Investor via the SEC’s live EDGAR system shall be deemed “furnished to the Investor” hereunder.

 

(d) Upon the request of the Investor, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register and qualify the resale by the Investor of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Investor reasonably requests, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify an Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

 

(e) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or facts, the Company shall notify the Investor in writing (by email or otherwise) of the happening of any event or existence of such facts as a result of which the prospectus included in any Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, non-public information regarding the Company), and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver a copy of such supplement or amendment to the Investor (or such other number of copies as the Investor may reasonably request), provided, however, that the Company may delay filing such supplement or amendment if the Company, upon advice of legal counsel, reasonably believes that such filing or use could materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Company or would require premature disclosure of information that could materially adversely affect the Company. The Company shall also promptly notify the Investor in writing (by email or otherwise) (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to the Investor by email or facsimile on the same day of such effectiveness), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate.

 

4

 

 

(f) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of any registration statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify the Investor (by email or otherwise) of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

 

(g) The Company shall (i) cause all the Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or (ii) secure designation and quotation of all the Registrable Securities on the Principal Market. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section 3.

 

(h) The Company shall cooperate with the Investor to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates or book-entry confirmations (in each case not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to any registration statement and enable such certificates or book-entry confirmations to be in such denominations or amounts as the Investor may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Investor may request.

 

(i) The Company shall at all times provide a transfer agent and registrar with respect to its Ordinary Shares.

 

(j) If reasonably requested by the Investor, the Company shall (i) as soon as practicable after receipt of written notice from the Investor, incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the Investor reasonably requests be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable upon notification of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement or New Registration Statement.

 

(k) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by any Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

 

(l) Within one (1) Business Day after any Registration Statement which includes the Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the Transfer Agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investor) confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, or such other form acceptable to the Company’s Transfer Agent. Thereafter, if requested by the Investor at any time, the Company shall require its counsel to deliver to the Investor a written confirmation whether the Registration Statement has been declared effective under the Securities Act and if, to its knowledge, a stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued or threatened by the SEC.

 

(m) The Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by the Investor of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement.

4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE INVESTOR.

 

(a) The Company shall notify the Investor in writing (by email or otherwise) of the information the Company reasonably requires from the Investor in connection with any Registration Statement hereunder. The Investor shall as soon as practicable furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.

 

(b) The Investor agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder and any amendments and supplements thereto.

 

(c) The Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event or existence of facts of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of Section 3(e), the Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until the Investor’s receipt of copies of a notice regarding the resolution or withdrawal of the stop order or suspension as contemplated by Section 3(f) or of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(f) or the first sentence of Section 3(e). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its Transfer Agent to promptly deliver shares of Ordinary Shares without any restrictive legend in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which the Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(f) or the first sentence of Section 3(e) and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

 

5. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION.

 

All reasonable expenses, other than sales or brokerage commissions and fees incurred in connection with its sale of the Registrable Securities incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be paid by the Company.

 

6. INDEMNIFICATION.

 

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Investor, each Person, if any, who controls the Investor, the members, the directors, officers, partners, employees, agents, members, managers representatives of the Investor and each Person, if any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”) incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any

 

6

 

 

other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, “Violations”). The Company shall reimburse each Indemnified Person promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable documented out-of-pocket legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information about the Investor furnished in writing to the Company by any Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, any New Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto or prospectus contained therein, if such Registration Statement, New Registration Statement or amendment thereof or supplement thereto or prospectus contained therein was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); (ii) with respect to any superseded prospectus, shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnified Person from whom the Indemnified Person asserting any such Claim purchased the Registrable Securities that are the subject thereof (or to the benefit of any Indemnified Person controlling such Indemnified Person) if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in the superseded prospectus was corrected in the revised prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such revised prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(c) or Section 3(e), and the Indemnified Person was promptly advised in writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to a violation and such Indemnified Person, notwithstanding such advice, used it; (iii) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Investor to deliver, or cause to be delivered, the prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant Section 3(c) or Section 3(e); (iv) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and (v) shall not apply if and to the extent any Claim arises due to the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Person, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.

 

(b) In connection with the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, the Investor agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement or any New Registration Statement, each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (collectively and together with an Indemnified Person, an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation (which, in the case of this Section 6(b) shall include the failure on the part of the Investor to deliver, or cause to be delivered, a prospectus as required by this Agreement and applicable law), in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information about the Investor set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto and furnished to the Company by the Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement (it being hereby acknowledged and agreed that such written information, as the same may be updated from time to time in writing by the Investor, is the only written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use in any Registration Statement); and, subject to Section 6(d), the Investor will reimburse any reasonable documented and out-of-pocket legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to the Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Investor pursuant to Section 9.

 

7

 

 

(c) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the indemnifying party, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

 

(d) The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.

 

(e) The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to law.

 

7. CONTRIBUTION.

 

To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however, that: (i) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities.

 

8. REPORTS AND DISCLOSURE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACTS.

 

With a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investor to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“Rule 144”), the Company agrees, at the Company’s sole expense, to:

 

(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

 

8

 

 

(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144;

 

(c) furnish to the Investor so long as the Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon reasonable request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting and or disclosure provisions of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investor to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration; and

 

(d) take such additional action as is reasonably requested by the Investor to enable the Investor to sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144, including, without limitation, delivering all such legal opinions, consents, certificates, resolutions and instructions to the Company’s Transfer Agent as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Investor and otherwise fully cooperate with Investor and Investor’s broker to effect such sale of securities pursuant to Rule 144; provided, however, that the Investor and its broker shall cooperate with the Company and its counsel and provide the necessary certificates, instructions and other documents reasonably requested by the Company or its counsel in order to enable the Investor to sell the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144.

 

The Company agrees that damages may be an inadequate remedy for any breach of the terms and provisions of this Section 8 and that the Investor shall, whether or not it is pursuing any remedies at law, be entitled to seek equitable relief in the form of a preliminary or permanent injunction, without having to post any bond or other security, upon any breach or threatened breach of any such terms or provisions.

 

9. ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

 

The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Investor; provided, however, that any transaction, whether by merger, reorganization, restructuring, consolidation, financing or otherwise, whereby the Company remains the surviving entity immediately after such transaction shall not be deemed an assignment. The Investor may not assign its rights under this Agreement without the written consent of the Company, other than to an affiliate of the Investor controlled by Jonathan Cope or Josh Scheinfeld, in which case the assignee must agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

10. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

 

No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived by the parties from and after the date that is one (1) Business Day immediately preceding the initial filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, no provision of this Agreement may be (i) amended other than by a written instrument signed by the parties hereto or (ii) waived other than in a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.

 

11. MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(a) A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities.

 

9

 

 

(b) Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by email (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); or (iii) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same. The addresses for such communications shall be:

Re: [__________]

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We are counsel to Veraxa Biotech Holding AG, a public limited company organized under the Laws of Switzerland (the “Company”), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 27, 2026 (the “Purchase Agreement”), entered into by and between, among others, the Company and Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (the “Buyer”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Company has agreed to issue the Company’s ordinary shares, par value $[●] per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), in an amount up to Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) (the “Purchase Shares”), in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Company has registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) [__________] Ordinary Shares that may be issued and sold by the Company to the Buyer from time to time and [___________] Ordinary Shares as Commitment Shares (the “Commitment Shares”).

Support Closing of Business Combination with Voyager Acquisition Corp.

 

ZURICH, SWITZERLAND – May 28, 2026 – VERAXA Biotech AG (“VERAXA”), an emerging leader in designing novel cancer therapies, today announced that it has strengthened its financial position to support the closing of its business combination with Voyager Acquisition Corp. (“Voyager”) and support advancement of its pipeline of BiTAC-TCE and BiTAC-ADC programs toward clinical development and through initial value inflection points.

 

In connection with the proposed business combination, the Company has entered into a securities purchase agreement with an institutional investor pursuant to which such institutional investor will be issued a senior secured note with a principal amount of $27.5 million (the “Note”). In addition, VERAXA has entered into a $50 million share purchase agreement (the “SPA”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund (“LPC”). In addition, VERAXA has applied for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

“Securing these financings marks a significant step in our ongoing business combination with Voyager Acquisition Corp. and the expected listing of VERAXA shares on NASDAQ,” said Torsten Bürgermeister, Chief Financial Officer at VERAXA. “We appreciate the financial support of these investors as we continue to employ a disciplined approach to balance sheet management through efficient and flexible access to capital.”

 

Key Terms of the Note with HTC

 

The securities purchase agreement signed on May 27, 2026, provides for, upon closing, the private placement to an institutional investor of (i) the Note, which will be issued by Veraxa Biotech Holding AG with a stated principal amount of $27.5 million, and (ii) a four-year warrant issued by Veraxa Biotech Holding AG to purchase 2,391,305 ordinary shares for an aggregate exercise price of approximately $27.5 million, with an initial exercise price of $11.50 per share (with anti-dilution protections), for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $24.1 million. The term of the Note is 15 months, amortizing monthly beginning three months after Closing of the Business Combination.

 

At VERAXA’s sole option and subject to customary conditions, any amortization payment may be made in cash, in registered-for-resale shares of common stock, or a combination thereof. The Note will be a senior secured obligation of VERAXA, secured by all VERAXA assets and ranking senior to all unsecured indebtedness of VERAXA to the extent of the value of the collateral and senior to any subordinated indebtedness. The holder of the Note will have the right, upon completion by VERAXA of any equity or equity-linked financing, to require VERAXA to redeem up to 20% of the gross proceeds of such financing in principal amount of the Note (a “cash sweep”). VERAXA may redeem the Note, subject to certain conditions, at par at any time without penalty. The Note will include customary operating, financial and other covenants.

Non-Solicitation

 

This press release is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the potential transaction and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities of Voyager or VERAXA, nor shall there be any sale of any such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction.

Forward-Looking Statements

Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements about future events or Voyager’s or VERAXA’s future financial or operating performance. For example, statements regarding VERAXA’s anticipated growth and the anticipated growth and other metrics, statements regarding the benefits of the Business Combination, and the anticipated timing of the completion of the Business Combination are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “project,” “strive,” “budget,” “forecast,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology.

These forward-looking statements regarding future events and the future results of Voyager and VERAXA are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about the industry in which VERAXA operates, as well as the beliefs and assumptions of Voyager’s management and VERAXA’s management. These forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to, without limitation, (i) known and unknown risks, including the risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the final prospectus of Voyager relating to its initial public offering filed with the SEC, and in the proxy statement/prospectus filed by Voyager and VERAXA on February 19, 2026, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and other documents filed or to be filed with the SEC by Voyager; (ii) uncertainties; (iii) assumptions; and (iv) other factors beyond Voyager’s or VERAXA’s control that are difficult to predict because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. They are neither statements of historical fact nor promises or guarantees of future performance. Therefore, VERAXA’s actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements and Voyager and VERAXA therefore caution against relying on any of these forward-looking statements.

 

These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Voyager and its management and VERAXA and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain and are inherently subject to risks, variability and contingencies, many of which are beyond Voyager’s or VERAXA’s control. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (i) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement and any subsequent definitive agreements with respect to the Business Combination; (ii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Voyager, VERAXA, or others following the announcement of the Business Combination and any definitive agreements with respect thereto; (iii) the inability to complete the Business Combination due to the failure to obtain consents and approvals of the shareholders of Voyager, to obtain financing to complete the Business Combination or to satisfy other conditions to closing, or delays in obtaining, adverse conditions contained in, or the inability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals required to complete the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; (iv) the failure to realize estimated shareholder redemptions, purchase price and other adjustments; and (v) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the filings by Voyager with the SEC. There may be additional risks that neither Voyager nor VERAXA presently know or that Voyager and VERAXA currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of Voyager or VERAXA speak only as of the date they are made. None of Voyager or VERAXA undertakes any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect any changes in their respective expectations with regard thereto or any changes in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
