(a)
the closing of a firm underwritten public offering of Common Shares with gross proceeds of at least US$35 million; or
(b)
such date and time as is specified by the affirmative written vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares, Class B Ordinary Shares, Class C Ordinary Shares, Class D Ordinary Shares, Class E Ordinary Shares, Class F Ordinary Shares and Class G Ordinary Shares voting as a single class.

For such purpose, all shares of the Company’s Ordinary Shares held by each holder of Ordinary Shares shall be aggregated, and any resulting fractional share of Common Shares shall be paid in cash.

7.3
Adjustment for Future Equity Financings
(a)
If the Company issues equity securities in an equity financing that is not the Company’s initial public offering of registered securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (such initial public offering, the “IPO”), for a consideration per share (such consideration per share being referred to as the “Future Equity Financing Price”) less than $14.00 per share, then the Conversion Ratio for each Class F Ordinary Share (or if the Class F Ordinary Shares have been converted to Common Shares in accordance with Section 7.1(b), each such converted Common Share) shall be equal to the quotient of (a) 14.0 divided by (b) the Future Equity Financing Price multiplied by 0.85 (the “Class F Price Adjustment”).  The Class F Price Adjustment obligation in this Section 7.3(a) shall terminate immediately upon the closing of the IPO if such IPO consists of the closing of a firm underwritten public offering of Common Shares with gross proceeds of at least US$35 million (a “Qualifying IPO”) but otherwise shall continue until conversion occurs pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.3(a) or the conversion right expires in connection with Section 7.3(b).
(b)
If the Company issues equity securities in the IPO for a consideration per share (such consideration per share being referred to as the “IPO Price”) less than $15.00 per share, then the Conversion Ratio for each Class F Ordinary Share (or if the Class F Ordinary Shares have been converted to Common Shares in accordance with Section 7.1(b), each such converted Common Share) shall be equal to the quotient of (a) 15.0 divided by (b) the IPO Price multiplied by 0.85 (the “Class F IPO Price Adjustment”).  The Class F IPO Price Adjustment obligation in this Section 7.3(b) shall terminate immediately upon the closing of any IPO below $15 per share by reason of the automatic conversion set forth herein, or upon the closing of a Qualifying IPO above $15 per share but shall continue for further public offerings if such IPO is not a Qualifying IPO and the shares have not otherwise converted hereunder.
(c)
If the Company issues equity securities in a public offering registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (a “Public Offering”) for a price to the public (the “Public Offering Price”) of less than $17.60 per share, then the Conversion Ratio for each Class G-1 Ordinary Share (or if the Class G-1 Ordinary Shares have been converted to Common Shares in accordance with Section 7.1(b), each holder of such converted Common Shares shall be issued additional Common Shares as though such increased Conversion Ratio applied at the time of such conversion) shall be increased (but shall not be decreased hereunder) to an amount equal to the quotient of (a) 17.6 divided by (b) the Public Offering Price multiplied by 0.90 (the “Class G-1 IPO Price Adjustment”).  The Class G-1 IPO Price Adjustment obligation in this Section 7.3(c) shall terminate immediately upon the closing of (i) any Public Offering with a Public Offering Price below $17.60 per share pursuant to which an adjustment to the Conversion Ratio occurs under this Section 7.3(c), or (ii) a firm-commitment underwritten Public Offering with gross proceeds of at least US$35 million, which may be the Company’s IPO (a “Qualifying Offering”), with a Public Offering Price above $17.60 per share but shall continue for further public offerings if the shares have not otherwise converted pursuant to the terms of Section 7.1(a).
(d)
If the Company issues equity securities in an equity financing that is not a Public Offering for a Future Equity Financing Price less than $16.00 per share, then the Conversion Ratio for each Class G-1 Ordinary Share (or if the Class G-1 Ordinary Shares have been converted to Common Shares in accordance with Section 7.1(b), each holder of such converted


Establishment Labs Holdings Inc.
Page 8

Common Shares shall be issued additional Common Shares as though such increased Conversion Ratio applied at the time of such conversion) shall be increased (but shall not be decreased hereunder) to an amount equal to the quotient of (a) 16.0 divided by (b) the Future Equity Financing Price multiplied by 0.90 (the “Class G-1 Financing Price Adjustment”).  The Class G-1 Financing Price Adjustment shall terminate immediately upon the closing of (i) any equity financing below $16 per share pursuant to which an adjustment to the Conversion Ratio occurs under this Section 7.3(d) or (ii) a Qualifying Offering, but otherwise shall continue until conversion occurs pursuant to the terms of Section 7.1(a).
8.
VARIATION OF CLASS RIGHTS
Subject to the Articles, the rights attached to any class or series of shares (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class or series), whether or not the Company is being wound-up, may be varied with the consent in writing of all the holders of the issued shares of that class or series or with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of the class or series.
9.
RIGHTS NOT VARIED BY THE ISSUE OF SHARES PARI PASSU
Rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class or series issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class or series, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu therewith.
10.
REGISTERED SHARES
The Company shall issue registered shares only, and such shares may be in full or fractional form. The Company is not authorised to issue bearer shares, convert registered shares to bearer shares, or exchange registered shares for bearer shares.
11.
AMENDMENT OF MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION
Subject to Clause (a) and the Articles, the Company may amend its Memorandum or Articles by a Resolution of Members or a Resolution of Directors, save that no amendment may be made by a Resolution of Directors:
