Bequals the portion of the Fair Market Value of the Capital Distribution attributable to one Ordinary Share, determined by dividing the Fair Market Value of the aggregate Capital Distribution by the number of Ordinary Shares entitled to receive the Capital Distribution.

 

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date on which such Capital Distribution is made or if later, the first date upon which the Fair Market Value of the Capital Distribution is capable of being determined as provided herein.

 

f)If, at any time or from time to time on or after the Issue Date, the Company shall issue (otherwise than as mentioned in Condition 3(c)) wholly for cash or for no consideration any Ordinary Shares (other than Ordinary Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants) or issue or grant (otherwise than as mentioned in Condition 3(c)) wholly for cash or for no consideration any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any Ordinary Shares, at a price per Ordinary Share which is less than the Relevant Price, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in force immediately prior to such issue or grant by the following fraction:

A + B
————
A + C

 

where:

 

Aequals the number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately before such issue or grant (but where the relevant securities carry rights of conversion into or rights of exchange or subscription for Ordinary Shares which have been issued by the Company for the purposes of or in connection with such issue, less the number of such Ordinary Shares so issued);

 

Bequals the number of Ordinary Shares which the aggregate consideration (if any) receivable for the Ordinary Shares to be issued or otherwise made available upon conversion or exchange or upon exercise of the right of subscription attached to such securities or, as the case may be, for the Ordinary Shares to be issued or to arise from any such redesignation would purchase at the Relevant Price; and

16

 

provided that if at any time of issue of the relevant securities or date of grant of such rights (the “Condition 3(g) Specified Date”) such number of Ordinary Shares is to be determined by reference to the application of a formular or other variable feature or the occurrence of any event at some subsequent time (which may be when such securities are converted or exchanged or rights of subscription are exercised or, as the case may be, such securities are redesignated or at such other time as may be provided) then for the purpose of this Condition 3(g), “C” shall be determined by the application of such formula or variable feature or as if the relevant event occurs or had occurred as at the Condition 3(g) Specified Date and as if such conversion, exchange, subscription, purchase or acquisition or, as the case may be, redesignation had taken place on the Condition 3(g) Specified Date.

 

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of issue of such securities or, as the case may be, the grant of such rights.

 

h)If, at any time or from time to time on or after the Issue Date, there shall be any modification of the rights of conversion, exchange or subscription attaching to any such securities as are mentioned in Condition 3(g) other than in accordance with the terms (including terms as to adjustment) applicable to such securities upon issue) so that following such modification the consideration per Ordinary Share receivable has been reduced and is less than the Relevant Price, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in force immediately prior to such modification by the following fraction:

 

A + B
————
A + C

 

where:

 

Aequals the number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately before such modification (but where the relevant securities carry rights of conversion into or rights of exchange or subscription for Ordinary Shares which have been issued by the Company for the purposes of or in connection with such issue, less the number of such Ordinary Shares so issued);

 

Bequals the number of Ordinary Shares which the aggregate consideration (if any) receivable for the Ordinary Shares to be issued or otherwise made available upon conversion or exchange or upon exercise of the right of subscription attached to the securities so modified would purchase at the Relevant Price; and

 

Cequals the maximum number of Ordinary Shares which may be issued or otherwise made available upon conversion or exchange of such securities or upon the exercise of such rights of subscription attached thereto at the modified conversion, exchange or subscription price or rate but giving credit in such manner as an independent investment bank of international repute, selected by the Company and approved in writing by the Majority Holders within five Business Days of a written request for such approval from the Company shall, acting as an expert, consider appropriate for any previous adjustment under this Condition 3(h)or Condition 3(g),

 

provided that if at any time of such modification (the “Condition 3(h) Specified Date”) such number of Ordinary Shares is to be determined by reference to the application of a formular or other variable feature or the occurrence of any event at some subsequent time (which may be when such securities are converted or exchanged or rights of subscription are exercised or at such other time as may be provided) then for the purpose of this Condition 3(h), “C” shall be determined by the application of such formula or variable feature or as if the relevant event occurs or had occurred as at the Condition 3(g) Specified Date and as if such conversion, exchange, subscription had taken place on the Condition 3(h) Specified Date.

 

17

 

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of modification of the rights of conversion, exchange or subscription attaching to such securities.

 

i)If, at any time or from time to time on or after the Issue Date, the Company or any Subsidiary or (at the direction or request of or pursuant to any arrangements with the Company or any Subsidiary) any other Person shall offer any securities in connection with which offer Ordinary Shareholders as a class are entitled to participate in arrangements whereby such securities may be acquired by them (except where the Exercise Price falls to be adjusted or an offer falls to be made to Holders under Conditions 3(b), 3(c), 3(d), 3(e), 3(f) or 3(g), or would fall to be so adjusted or made if the relevant issue or grant was at less than the Relevant Price) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in force immediately before the making of such offer by the following fraction:

 

A - B
———
A

 

where:

 

Aequals the Current Market Price of one Ordinary Share on the date on which the terms of such offer are first publicly announced; and

 

Bequals the Fair Market Value on the date of such announcement of the portion of the relevant offer attributable to one Ordinary Share.

 

Such adjustment shall become effective on the first date on which the Ordinary Shares are traded ex-rights on the Principal Market.

 

j)The Company shall not, and shall procure that none of its Subsidiaries shall, issue or sell Ordinary Shares, Options or Convertible Securities at a price that would require an adjustment pursuant to this Condition 3 unless the Company has obtained all consents and approvals necessary (including, but not limited to, any applicable approvals and consents of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Ordinary Shareholders, the Principal Market, the Settlement System and any relevant listing or regulatory authority) to issue in addition all Warrant Shares which may be required to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants at the adjusted Exercise Price.

 

k)Concurrently with the public announcement by the Company of the making of an offer, grant or issue to which Condition 3(b) applies, the Company shall notify the Holder in writing whether it shall adjust the Exercise Price or extend the offer, grant or issue to the Holder as set out in Condition 3(b)(ii) (as the case may be).

 

l)If the Relevant Effective Date in relation to any Warrant shall be after the record date for any such issue, distribution, grant or offer (as the case may be) as is mentioned in Conditions 3(b) to 3(i), but before the relevant adjustment becomes effective or the relevant offer is made to Holders, the Company shall (conditional upon the relevant adjustment becoming effective) procure that there shall be issued or otherwise delivered to the converting Holder or in accordance with the instructions contained in the Exercise Notice such additional number of Ordinary Shares or other securities as, together with the Ordinary Shares issued or otherwise delivered, as the case may be, on exercise, is equal to the number of Ordinary Shares which would have been required to be issued or otherwise delivered, as the case may be, on exercise if the relevant adjustment or offer had in fact been made and accepted and become effective immediately after the relevant record date. Such additional Ordinary Shares or other securities shall be issued or otherwise delivered as at, and within one month after, the Relevant Effective Date or within one month after the date of issue of Ordinary Shares or other securities if the relevant adjustment results from the issue or transfer of Ordinary Shares and certificates for such Ordinary Shares (if such Ordinary Shares are in certificated form) will be despatched within such period of one month.

 

18

 

m)If the Company and the Majority Holders (acting reasonably and in good faith and after a reasonable period of consultation with each other) determine that an adjustment should be made to the Exercise Price as a result of one or more events or circumstances not referred to above in this Condition 3 (even if the relevant event or circumstance is specifically excluded from the operations of Conditions 3(a) to 3(1)), such Holders and the Company shall (within 21 days of such event or circumstance arises) jointly request an independent investment bank of international repute, acting as expert, to determine as soon as practicable what adjustment (if any, and provided that it shall result in a reduction of the Exercise Price) to the Exercise Price is fair and reasonable to take account thereof and the date on which such adjustment (if any) should take effect and upon such determination such adjustment (if any) shall be made and shall take effect in accordance with such determination. The firm of accountants shall be appointed at the expense of the Holders if the adjustment determined by the bank is greater than that required pursuant to this Condition 3 and at the expense of the Company if the adjustment determined by the bank is less than that required pursuant to this Condition 3.

 

n)The Company covenants and undertakes to each Holder that it shall not do anything which would give rise to an adjustment pursuant to this Condition 3 which would cause the Exercise Price per Ordinary Share to be reduced to an amount that is less than the Nominal Value of an Ordinary Share.

 

o)References to any issue or offer to Ordinary Shareholders “as a class” or “by way of rights” shall be taken to be references to an issue or offer to all or substantially all Ordinary Shareholders by reason of being holders of Ordinary Shares other than Ordinary Shareholders to whom, by reason of laws of any territory or requirements of any recognized regulatory body or any stock exchange in any territory or in connection with fractional entitlements, it is determined not to make such issue or offer.

 

p)Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Condition 3, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the Aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the Aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

 

q)On any adjustment pursuant to this Condition 3, the resultant Exercise Price shall be rounded to the nearest CHF 0.0001.

 

r)No adjustment shall be made to the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares on account of the issue of Ordinary Shares pursuant to (i) the Share Subscription Agreement and (ii) stock options or similar arrangements granted or to be granted at market by the Company to employees and consultants.

 

4.Fractional Interests

 

No fractional shares shall be deliverable upon the exercise of a Warrant. If, on exercise of a Warrant, the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase a fractional amount of Ordinary Shares, the number of Ordinary Shares deliverable upon exercise shall be rounded to the nearest whole number of Ordinary Shares, with 0.5 of an Ordinary Share being rounded upwards.

If this Warrant has not been transferred in whole, the Company shall on the same date execute and deliver at its specified office to the Holder or (at the risk of the Holder) send by mail to such address as the Holder may request a new Warrant in the name of the Holder in respect of the balance of Warrant Shares not transferred.

8.Organic Changes

 

a)Any reorganisation, merger, reconstruction or amalgamation of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries or any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) to another Person or any other transaction which in any such case is effected in such a way that holders of Ordinary Shares are entitled to receive shares, securities or assets of any Person other than the Company (including cash) in exchange for or by way of consideration for the cancellation of, or with respect to, Ordinary Shares is referred to herein as “Organic Change”.

 

b)Prior to the completion of any:

 

(i)sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries; or

c)Prior to the consummation of any other Organic Change, the Company shall use best efforts to make appropriate provision (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Holders) to ensure that each Holder will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive, in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the Ordinary Shares immediately theretofore acquirable and receivable upon the exercise of such Holder’s Warrants, such shares, securities or assets that would have been issued or transferred in such Organic Change with respect to or in exchange for the number of Ordinary Shares which would have been acquirable and receivable upon the exercise of such Holder’s Warrants as of the date of such Organic Change.

 

d)At the same time as any public announcement is released in relation to any Organic Change, the Company shall send a copy of that announcement to each Holder by facsimile transmission or email.

f)the Company shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue or otherwise deliver fully paid Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant; and

 

g)the Company shall not in any way modify the rights attaching to the Ordinary Shares with respect to voting, dividends or liquidation nor issue any other class of equity share capital carrying any economic rights which are more favourable than such rights attaching to the Ordinary Shares.
