Now, Therefore, in consideration of these premises and for other good and valid consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and each Holder hereby agree as follows:

 

Agreement

 

1.           Agreement to Purchase. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall purchase from each Holder at the Closing, and each Holder shall sell to the Company, a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the Repurchase Shares for such Holder at a purchase price per Repurchase Share equal to the Repurchase Price.

 

2.           Condition; Closing.

 

2.1          Condition. The obligation of the Company and each Holder to consummate, or cause to be consummated, the Closing is subject to the satisfaction of the following condition:

 

(a)          The Ordinary Shares shall have begun trading on NASDAQ on or before December 19, 2016.

 

2.2          Closing. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the sale and purchase contemplated by Section 1 hereof (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Goodwin Procter LLP, 100 Northern Avenue, Boston, MA 02210, commencing at 10:00 a.m. on the April 3, 2017 provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 2.1 shall have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver thereof)as of such date or such other time and place as the Company and the Majority Holders may mutually agree (the date on which the Closing occurs, the “Closing Date”). At the Closing, upon the deposit of cash by the Company with the Repurchase Agent in accordance with Section 2.3(b) below, the Company shall update its register of members to reflect that the repurchase of all of the Repurchase Shares has been completed.

 

 

 

  

2.3          Surrender; Payment; Required Information.

 

(a)          As soon as reasonably practicable after consummation of the First Trading Date, the Company will send, or will cause its Repurchase Agent (the “Repurchase Agent”) to send, to each Holder a letter of transmittal (which will include the information set forth on Exhibit B and shall specify that the delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and the Holder will cease to have title, only upon proper delivery of certificates representing the Repurchase Shares held by such Holder (the “Certificates”) (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Repurchase Agent and such repurchase being reflected in the Company's register of members), in such form as the Company may reasonably direct, including instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Repurchase Agent in exchange for the consideration payable upon due surrender of the Certificates once the register of members of the Company has been updated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 

(b)          At or prior to the Closing, the Company will cause to be deposited with the Repurchase Agent, in trust for the benefit of the Holders, the maximum cash payable upon due surrender of the Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) representing all of the Subject Securities. All cash deposited by the Company with the Repurchase Agent for distribution pursuant to this Section 2.3 is referred to in this Agreement as the “Repurchase Fund.” The Repurchase Agent will, pursuant to irrevocable instructions to be delivered to the Repurchase Agent by the Company, deliver the appropriate consideration out of the Repurchase Fund. The Repurchase Fund will not be used for any other purpose. The Repurchase Agent will invest any cash included in the Repurchase Fund as directed by the Company; provided, that no such investment or losses thereon will affect the consideration payable upon due surrender of the Certificates and the register of members of the Company being updated pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the Company will promptly cause to be provided additional funds to the Repurchase Agent for the benefit of the Holders in the amount of any such losses. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments will be the property of, and paid to, the Company.

 

(c)          Prior to the Closing, each Holder shall surrender to the Repurchase Agent a Certificate (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof), together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Repurchase Agent. Each such Holder will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the consideration payable pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement upon due surrender of the Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof). No interest will be paid or accrued on any consideration payable upon due surrender of the Certificates pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(d)          If any cash payment is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the shares are registered in the Company's register of members, it will be a condition of such payment that the Person requesting such payment will pay any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the making of such cash payment to a Person other than the Person in whose name the shares are registered in the Company's register of members or will establish to the satisfaction of the Company and the Repurchase Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

 

 2 

 

  

(e)          Any portion of the Repurchase Fund that remains unclaimed by the Holders thirty (30) days after the Closing Date will be returned by the Repurchase Agent to the Company, upon demand, and any such Holder who has not surrendered a Certificate for the consideration payable upon due surrender of such Certificates pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement prior to that time will thereafter look only to the Company for delivery of consideration payable upon due surrender of such Certificates pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(f)          Dividends payable by the Company with respect to Ordinary Shares will only be paid to holders of Ordinary Shares as registered on the register of members of the Company at the time that such dividends are declared.

 

(g)          The Company and the Repurchase Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as the Company or the Repurchase Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law. The Holders agree that the documents and information set forth on Exhibit B shall be provided to the Company for appropriate withholding of tax by the Company in relation to payment made towards the Repurchase Shares. In case of non-furnishing of the requisite information and representations as required by the Company or the Repurchase Agent, the tax shall be withheld on the gross amount at applicable rates in force. To the extent that amounts are so withheld (and paid to the applicable Governmental Authority) by the Company or the Repurchase Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such consideration would otherwise have been paid.

 

(h)          In the event any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Repurchase Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such consideration as may be required pursuant to this Agreement and any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver an agreement of indemnification in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or, if reasonably required by the Company, a bond in such reasonable sum as the Company may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Company or the Repurchase Agent in respect of such Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
