Applicability of Rights. The Investor shall be entitled to the following rights with respect to any potential public offering of Ordinary Shares in the United States and shall be entitled to reasonably analogous or equivalent rights with respect to any other offering of Company Securities in any other jurisdiction pursuant to which the Company undertakes to publicly offer or list such Company Securities for trading on a recognized securities exchange. References to “Clauses” herein are to Clauses of this Schedule 1.
|
2.
|
Definitions. For purposes of this Schedule 1:
|
(a)
|
Registration. The terms “register,” “registered,” and “registration” refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement in compliance with the Securities Act, and the declaration or ordering of effectiveness of such registration statement.
|
(b)
|
Registrable Securities. The term “Registrable Securities” means: (1) the Company Securities acquired by the Investor pursuant to the Investment Agreement; (2) any Ordinary Shares issued as (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other security which is issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in replacement of, any Company Securities described in clause (1) of this subsection (b); and (3) any other Ordinary Shares of the Company owned or hereafter acquired by the Investor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Registrable Securities” shall exclude any Registrable Securities sold by a person in a transaction in which rights under this Schedule 1 are not assigned in accordance with this Agreement or any Registrable Securities sold in a public offering, whether sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, or in a registered offering, or otherwise. With respect to any shares of an Existing Holder, “Registrable Securities” shall have the meaning ascribed to it under Schedule 2 of the Existing Shareholders Agreement.
|
(c)
|
Existing Holder. For purposes of this Schedule 1, the term “Existing Holder” has the same meaning as the term “Holder” as set forth in Schedule 2 of the Existing Shareholders Agreement.
|
(d)
|
Form S-3 and Form F-3. The terms “Form S-3” and “Form F-3” mean such respective form under the Securities Act as is in effect on the date hereof or any successor registration form under the Securities Act subsequently adopted by the SEC which permits inclusion or incorporation of substantial information by reference to other documents filed by the Company with the SEC.
|
(e)
|
SEC. The term “SEC” means the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
|
3.
|
Demand Registration.
|
(a)
|
Request by Investor. If the Company shall receive a written request from the Investor that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Clause 3, then the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that the Investor request to be registered, subject only to the limitations of this Clause 3; provided that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration if the Company has, within the six (6) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected a registration under the Securities Act pursuant to this Clause 3 or Clause 5, or in which the Investor had an opportunity to participate pursuant to Clause (iii), other than a registration from which the Registrable Securities of the Investor have been excluded (with respect to all or any portion of the Registrable Securities the Investor requested be included in such registration) pursuant to Clause 4(b).
|
(b)
|
Underwriting. If the Investor intends to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by its request by means of an underwriting, then it shall so advise the Company as a part of its request made pursuant to this Clause. In such event, the right of the Investor to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditional upon the Investor’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of the Investor’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. The Investor shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Investor and reasonably acceptable to the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Clause, if the underwriter(s) advise(s) the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten then the Company shall so advise the Investor, and the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be reduced as required by the underwriter(s) and allocated among the Investor and each of the Existing Holders on a pro rata basis according to the number of Registrable Securities then outstanding held by each such Person requesting registration; provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting and registration shall not be reduced unless all other Securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting and registration. If the Investor disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, the Investor may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter(s), delivered at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. If the underwriter has not limited the number of Registrable
|
|
Securities to be underwritten, the Company may include its securities for its own account in such registration if the underwriter so agrees and if the number of Registrable Securities which would otherwise have been included in such registration and underwriting will not thereby be limited.
|
(c)
|
Maximum Number of Demand Registrations. The Company shall be obligated to effect three (3) such demand registrations for the Investor.
|
(d)
|
Deferral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Clause:
|
(i)
|
during the period starting with the date sixty (60) Business Days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date one hundred eighty (180) Business Days following the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration subject to Clause (iii) below, provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective;
|
(ii)
|
if the Investor proposes to dispose of Registrable Securities that may be registered on Form S-3 or Form F-3 pursuant to Clause 5 hereof; or
|
(iii)
|
if the Company shall furnish to the Investor a certificate signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration statement to be filed, then the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Investor; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than once in any twelve (12) month period; provided further, that the Company shall not register any other of its Securities during such twelve (12) month period. A demand right shall not be deemed to have been exercised until such deferred registration shall have been effected.
|
4.
|
Piggyback Registrations. The Company shall notify the Investor in writing at least twenty (20) days prior to filing any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of effecting a public offering of Securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of Securities of the Company, but excluding registration statements relating to any registration under Clause 3 or Clause 5 or to any employee benefit plan or a corporate reorganization) and will afford the Investor an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities then held by the Investor. The Investor shall within eighteen (18) days after receipt of the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities the Investor wishes to include in
|
|
such registration statement. If the Investor decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, the Investor shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its Securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.
|
(a)
|
Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Clause prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not the Investor has elected to include Securities in such registration. The expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Clause 6(i) hereof.
|
(b)
|
Underwriting. If a registration statement under which the Company gives notice under this Clause is for an underwritten offering, then the Company shall so advise the Investor. In such event, the right of the Investor to be included in a registration pursuant to this Clause shall be conditional upon the Investor’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of the Investor’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. The Investor shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter(s) determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the managing underwriter(s) may exclude up to seventy percent (70%) of the Registrable Securities from the registration and the underwriting, and the number of shares that may be included in the registration and the underwriting shall be allocated, first to the Company, second, to the Investor and the Existing Holders, pro rata among them based on the respective total number of their respective Registrable Securities which they had requested to be included in such registration and underwriting; and third, to holders of other Securities of the Company, provided, however, that the right of the underwriter(s) to exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and underwriting as described above shall be restricted so that (i) the number of Registrable Securities included in any such registration is not reduced below thirty percent (30%) of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities for which inclusion has been requested; and (ii) all shares that are not Registrable Securities and are held by any other person, including, without limitation, the Founder and any other person who is an employee, officer, consultant or director of the Company (or any Subsidiary of the Company) shall first be excluded from such registration and underwriting before any Registrable Securities are so excluded. If the Investor disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, the Investor may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter(s), delivered at least ten (10) days prior to
|
|
the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration.
|
(c)
|
Not Demand Registration. Registration pursuant to this Clause shall not be deemed to be a demand registration as described in Clause 3 above. Except as otherwise provided herein, there shall be no limit on the number of times the Investor may request registration of Registrable Securities under this Clause.
|
5.
|
Form S-3 or Form F-3 Registration. In case the Company shall receive from the Investor a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 or Form F-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by the Investor, then the Company will:
|
(a)
|
Registration. As soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of the Investor’s Registrable Securities as are specified in such request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Clause:
|
(1)
|
if Form S-3 or Form F-3 is not available for such offering by the Investor;
|
(2)
|
if the Company shall furnish to the Investor a certificate signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such Form S-3 or Form F-3 registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 or Form F-3 registration statement no more than once during any twelve month period for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Investor under this Section 5; provided that the Company shall not register any of its other Securities during such ninety (90) day period; or
|
(3)
|
if the Company has, within the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of such request, already effected two (2) registrations under the Securities Act other than a registration from which the Registrable Securities of the Investor have been excluded (with respect to all or any portion of the Registrable Securities the Investor requested be included in such registration) pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(b) or Section 4(b).
|
(b)
|
Not Demand Registration. Form S-3 or Form F-3 registrations shall not be deemed to be demand registrations as described in Section 3 above. Except as
|
|
otherwise provided herein, there shall be no limit on the number of times the Investor may request registration of Registrable Securities under this Clause.
|
6.
|
Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under this Agreement the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
|
(a)
|
Registration Statement. Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to keep any such registration statement effective for more than sixty (60) days.
|
(b)
|
Amendments and Supplements. Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement.
|
(c)
|
Prospectuses. Furnish to the Investor such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as it may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by it that are included in such registration.
|
(d)
|
Blue Sky. Use all reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Investor, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.
|
(e)
|
Underwriting. In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering. The Investor participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.
|
(f)
|
Notification. Notify the Investor at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of (i) the issuance of any stop order by the SEC in respect of such registration statement, or (ii) the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such 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 not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.
|
(g)
|
Opinion and Comfort Letter. Furnish, at the request of the Investor, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriter(s) for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date that the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, (i) a copy of an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, and (ii) a copy of the “comfort” letter dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters.
|
(h)
|
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions, the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Clause 3 or 5 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Investor (in which case the Investor shall bear such expenses), unless, in the case of a registration requested under Clause 3, the Investor agrees to forfeit such right to demand registration pursuant to Clause 3; provided further, however, that if at the time of such withdrawal, the Investor has learnt of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company not known to the Investor at the time of its request for such registration and have withdrawn its request for registration with reasonable promptness after learning of such material adverse change, then the Investor shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and such registration shall not constitute the use of a demand registration pursuant to Clause 3.
|
(i)
|
The Company shall pay all expenses incurred in connection with each registration requested pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation all U.S. federal, “blue sky” and all foreign registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company (but excluding underwriters’ or brokers’ discounts and commissions relating to shares sold by the Investor), and reasonable expenses of one legal counsel if such counsel is for the Investor and all other Existing Holders participating in such registration.
|
7.
|
Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Schedule 1 with respect to the Registrable Securities of the Investor that the Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to timely effect the registration of their Registrable Securities. In connection therewith, the Investor shall be required to represent and warrant to the Company that all such information which is
|
|
given in writing expressly for inclusion in such registration is true and accurate in all material respects.
|
8.
|
No Registration Rights to Third Parties. Without the prior consent of the Investor, the Company covenants and agrees that it shall not grant, or cause or permit to be created, for the benefit of any person or entity any registration rights of any kind (whether similar to the demand, “piggyback” or Form S-3 or Form F-3 registration rights described in this Schedule 1, or otherwise) relating to any Securities of the Company, other than rights that are not senior in right to the Investor.
|
9.
|
Assignment. The registration rights under this Schedule 1 may be transferred or assigned by the Investor to any transferee or assignee of its Company Securities representing five percent (5%) or more of the issued share capital of the Company.
|
10.
|
Re-sale Rights. The Company shall at its own cost use its best efforts to assist the Investor in the sale or disposition of, and to enable the Investor to sell under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act the maximum number of, its Registrable Securities, including without limitation (a) the prompt delivery of applicable instruction letters to the Company’s transfer agent to remove legends from the Investor’s share certificates, (b) causing the prompt delivery of appropriate legal opinions from the Company’s counsel in forms reasonably satisfactory to the Investor’s counsel, (c) if the Company has depository receipts listed or traded on any exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, (i) the prompt delivery of instruction letters to the Company’s share registrar and depository agent to convert the Investor’s securities into depository receipts or similar instruments to be deposited in the Investor’s brokerage account(s), (ii) the prompt payment of all costs and fees related to such depositary facility, including conversion fees and maintenance fees for Registrable Securities held by the Investor and (iii) taking any and all other steps necessary to facilitate the conversion into depository receipts or similar instruments. The Company acknowledges that time is of the essence with respect to its obligations under this Clause, and that any delay will cause the Investor irreparable harm and constitutes a material breach of its obligations under this Agreement.
|
11.
|
Rule 144 Reporting. The Company agrees to: (a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times; (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; and (c) so long as the Investor owns any Registrable Securities, to furnish to the Investor promptly upon request (i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, or its qualification as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form F-3 (at any time after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and (iii) such other reports and documents of the Company as the Investor may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or
|
|
regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to Form F-3.
