WHEREAS:

 

A.Purchaser and Nuvei Corporation (the “Company”) wish to enter into an arrangement agreement to be dated as of the date hereof (the “Arrangement Agreement”) providing for, among other things, the acquisition by Purchaser (the “Arrangement”) of all of the issued and outstanding subordinate voting shares (the “Subordinate Voting Shares”) and multiple voting shares of the Company (the “Multiple Voting Shares” and together with the Subordinate Voting Shares, the “Shares”), other than the Novacap Shares (as defined below) and certain Shares held by certain shareholders (the “Other Rollover Shareholders”) who have entered into a share transfer agreement or a share transfer and incentive award exchange agreement with Purchaser and Parent (together with this Share Transfer Agreement, the “Rollover Agreements”) substantially concurrently herewith, by way of a plan of arrangement under Section 192 of the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “Plan of Arrangement”);

 

B.Each Novacap Rollover Shareholder is the registered and/or beneficial owner of and has voting control or direction over the Shares set forth in Schedule A hereto (collectively, the “Novacap Shares”);

 

C.Subject only to the occurrence of the Closing prior to a termination of this share transfer agreement (together with the Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto, the “Agreement”) pursuant to ‎Section 7 hereof and in accordance with, and effective at the respective times specified in, the Plan of Arrangement, each of the Novacap Rollover Shareholders will (i) sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser will purchase, directly or indirectly pursuant to the Holdco Alternative (as defined below), the Novacap Shares owned by each such Novacap Rollover Shareholder upon and subject to the terms of this Agreement, including the steps plan set out as part of Exhibit A (the “Steps Plan”) in consideration for a combination of cash and the issuance by Purchaser of Series C1 or Series C2 non-voting common shares in the capital of Purchaser (the “Purchaser Shares”) as set out in ‎Section 1(4), and thereafter, (ii) sell such Purchaser Shares to Parent in exchange for a certain number of C1 or Series C2 non-voting common shares in the capital of Parent (“Parent Non-Voting

E.Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Arrangement Agreement.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the respective covenants and agreements of the parties herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged by each party), the parties agree as follows:

 

Section1           NOVACAP SUBSCRIPTION AND ACQUISITION OF NOVACAP SHARES

 

(1)On the day immediately prior to the Effective Date, the Novacap Rollover Shareholders shall subscribe, for cash consideration on terms and conditions set out in Exhibit B, in the aggregate, for the number of Parent Voting Shares set out opposite the reference “Novacap Rollover Shareholders” in Exhibit C, without requiring the Novacap Rollover Shareholders to guarantee or to be otherwise liable for any obligations or liabilities of Purchaser or Parent under the Arrangement Agreement or the Plan of Arrangement.

 

(2)On the Effective Date and at the time set forth in the Plan of Arrangement (the “Rollover Closing”), each Novacap Rollover Shareholder shall sell, transfer, assign and convey to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase from each Novacap Rollover Shareholder, all direct and indirect right, title and interest of each Novacap Rollover Shareholder in and to the Novacap Shares for a purchase price determined as provided in Section 1(3) of this Agreement.

 

(3)The aggregate purchase price of the Novacap Shares shall be the product of (A) the number of Novacap Shares multiplied by (B) the per Share consideration in cash set forth in the definition of Consideration in the Plan of Arrangement.

 

(4)The aggregate purchase price for the Novacap Shares held directly, or indirectly pursuant to the Holdco Alternative (as defined below), by each Novacap Rollover Shareholder shall be satisfied by Purchaser on the Effective Date and at the time specified in the Plan of Arrangement:

 

(a)as to a percentage of the aggregate purchase price that is equal to such Novacap Rollover Shareholder’s Rollover Percentage (as defined below), by the allotment and issuance by Purchaser of a number of Purchaser Shares to such Novacap Rollover Shareholder, at a subscription price for each Purchaser

 

 

 

Share issued on the Effective Date equal to the subscription price for all other such shares issued on such date; and

 

(b)as to the remainder of the aggregate purchase price, by an aggregate amount in cash payable at Closing by the Depositary in the same manner as other shareholders of the Company pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement.

 

In this Agreement, “Rollover Percentage” means, for each Novacap Rollover Shareholder, a fraction, the numerator of which is (i) such Novacap Rollover Shareholder’s percentage interest in Parent following completion of the transactions contemplated by the Arrangement Agreement and this Agreement as set forth in Schedule B multiplied by (ii) the aggregate subscription price paid by investors subscribing for shares of Parent at or prior to the Closing in accordance with the Steps Plan and Exhibit C (in cash, Purchaser Shares or otherwise, without duplication), and the denominator of which is (iii) the per Share consideration in cash set forth in the definition of Consideration in the Plan of Arrangement, multiplied by (iv) the number of such Novacap Rollover Shareholder’s Novacap Shares. For illustrative purposes only, an example of the Rollover Percentage calculation is set out in Exhibit D hereto.

 

(5)Following the issuance of Purchaser Shares to each Novacap Rollover Shareholder, on the Effective Date and at the time set forth in the Plan of Arrangement, each Novacap Rollover Shareholder shall sell, transfer, assign and convey to Parent and Parent shall purchase from each Novacap Rollover Shareholder all right, title and interest of each Novacap Rollover Shareholder in and to the Purchaser Shares received pursuant to Section 1(4)(a) in exchange for the allotment and issuance to each Novacap Rollover Shareholder the number of Parent Non-Voting Shares set out on Schedule B.

 

(6)Following the acquisition of Parent Non-Voting Shares by each Novacap Rollover Shareholder, on the Effective Date and following completion of the steps set forth in the Plan of Arrangement, each Novacap Rollover Shareholder shall sell, transfer, assign and convey to Parent, and Parent shall purchase from each Novacap Rollover Shareholder for cancellation, all right, title and interest of each Novacap Rollover Shareholder in and to the Parent Non-Voting Shares received pursuant to Section 1(5) in exchange for the allotment and issuance to each Novacap Rollover Shareholder of the number of Parent Voting Shares set out on Schedule B.

 

(7)Each party agrees to execute any and all further documents and writings, and to perform such other actions, which may be or become reasonably necessary to make effective and carry out this Agreement, customary for transactions of this type and kind, including a definitive shareholders’ agreement (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”) and for other matters referenced on Exhibit A hereto (collectively, including the Shareholders’ Agreement, the “Additional Agreements”), (a) in the case of the Shareholders’ Agreement, on terms and conditions consistent in all respects with those set forth on Exhibit A hereto, (b) in the case of the Steps Plan, consistent in all material respects with the steps set forth on Exhibit A hereto, and (c) in each case on such other terms and conditions as the parties shall negotiate in good faith consistent in all material respects with this Agreement and the other Exhibits hereto. By executing this Agreement, the Novacap Rollover Shareholders hereby agree to consummate the Rollover Closing and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement regardless of whether the Additional Agreements have been agreed and entered into at or immediately prior to the Rollover Closing. In the event the parties do not enter into the

 

 

 

Shareholders’ Agreement or similar Additional Agreement governing all matters referenced in Exhibit A prior to the Rollover Closing, it is agreed to and understood by the parties hereto that the terms and conditions in Exhibit A shall govern and become effective and operative at the Rollover Closing until such time as the parties enter into such Additional Agreement(s), as the case may be.

Section5           TRANSFERABILITY

 

(1)Except for the transactions described herein and in the Plan of Arrangement, and except as otherwise provided in this Section 5, the Novacap Rollover Shareholders shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, convert into Subordinate Voting Shares or otherwise dispose of (whether with or without consideration and whether voluntarily or involuntarily by operation of law) any of the Novacap Shares or any interest therein (each, an “Impermissible Transaction”). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision contained herein, but subject to the obligations of the Novacap VI Entities pursuant to Section 5(2), each Novacap Rollover Shareholder may sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of some or all of its interest in the shares of Qualifying Holdco to one or more affiliates of such Novacap Rollover Shareholder, including but not limited to one or more Novacap VI Entities (each, a “Transferee”), without the prior consent of Purchaser or Parent, provided that each such Transferee agrees to become a party to and be bound by this Agreement upon consummation of such sale, transfer or assignment.

 

(2)Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision contained herein (including the Schedules hereto), the Novacap VI Entities acknowledge and agree that, as of the Rollover Closing, they alone or with one or more affiliates of the Novacap Rollover Shareholders will collectively hold Novacap Shares acquired from the Novacap Rollover Shareholders, whether directly or indirectly through the acquisition of shares of Qualifying Holdco, with a value of not less than $200 million funded from cash capital contributions to such Novacap VI Entities or such affiliates, with no less than $150 million of such

 

 

 

amount held solely by Novacap VI Entities (such values to be determined based on the per Share consideration in cash set forth in the definition of Consideration in the Plan of Arrangement).

 

(3)Any Impermissible Transaction shall be null and void ab initio, and the parties shall instruct the Company to instruct its transfer agent and other third parties not to, record or recognize any such Impermissible Transaction on the share register or other books and records of the Company.

 

Section6           ARRANGEMENT AGREEMENT

 

The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that Purchaser may, in its sole and absolute discretion, modify or waive any term or condition of or amend or supplement the Arrangement Agreement in such manner as Purchaser considers, in its sole and absolute discretion, necessary or desirable, provided that any such modification, waiver, amendment or supplement shall not, without the prior consent of the Novacap Rollover Shareholders, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or on the economic interests of the Novacap Rollover Shareholders, including a decrease in the per share Consideration payable under the Arrangement or a change in the form of such Consideration, or be adverse to the Novacap Rollover Shareholders in a manner disproportionate to all other Shareholders or the Other Rollover Shareholders.

 

Section7           TERMINATION AND SURVIVAL

 

(1)This Agreement shall be automatically terminated and be of no further force or effect upon the valid termination of the Arrangement Agreement in accordance with its terms, except that in the case of a breach of this Agreement which occurred prior to such termination, the terms set out in Section 8 shall survive.

 

(2)All covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Rollover Closing and shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the party to whom such covenants, representations and warranties are given until the date that is two years after the date of the Rollover Closing.

 

Section8           SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE AND OTHER EQUITABLE REMEDIES

 

(1)The parties agree that irreparable harm would occur for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy at Law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement, and to enforce compliance with the terms of this Agreement without any requirement for proof of damages or for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such relief. The rights set forth in this Section 8, including rights of specific performance and enforcement, subject to Section 8(2), are in addition to any other remedy to which the parties may be entitled at Law or in equity. None of the parties shall object to the granting of injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that there exists an adequate remedy at Law.

 

(2)Each party hereby agrees not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedies provided for herein and the parties further agree that (a) by seeking the

 

 

 

remedies provided for in this Section 8, a party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to a party under this Agreement (including monetary damages), and (b) neither the commencement of any Proceeding pursuant to this Section 8 nor anything set forth in this Section 8 shall restrict or limit any party’s right to pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter.

 

Section9           GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

(1)Time is of the essence in this Agreement. The mere lapse of time in the performance of the terms of this Agreement by any party will have the effect of putting such party in default in accordance with Articles 1594 to 1600 of the Civil Code of Québec.

 

(2)This Agreement is intended to be and shall be and operate as an immediate, irrevocable, and effective transfer and assignment of the Novacap Shares by each Novacap Rollover Shareholder to Purchaser, of the Purchaser Shares by each Novacap Rollover Shareholder to Parent, and of the Parent Non-Voting Shares by each Novacap Rollover Shareholder to Parent, in each case as at the time specified herein and in the Plan of Arrangement. The parties agree to do all such other acts and things as may be necessary to give effect to the provisions hereof, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to validly and effectively transfer the Novacap Shares from each Novacap Rollover Shareholder to Purchaser as at the Rollover Closing.

 

(3)This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the Province of Québec and the federal Laws of Canada applicable therein. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably attorns and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Québec courts situated in the City of Montreal and waives objection to the venue of any Proceeding in such court or that such court provides an inconvenient forum.

Any notice or other communication is deemed to be given and received (a) if sent by personal delivery or same day courier, on the date of delivery if it is a Business Day and the delivery was made prior to 5:00 p.m. (local time in place of receipt) and otherwise on the next Business Day, (b) if sent by overnight courier at or prior to the courier’s stated time for enabling next business day delivery, on the next Business Day, or (c) if sent by email, on the date such email was sent if it is a Business Day and such email was sent prior to 5:00 p.m. (local time in the place of receipt) and otherwise on the next Business Day (provided in the case of email that no “bounceback” or notice of non-delivery is received by the sender within thirty (30) minutes of the time of sending). A party may change its address for service from time to time by providing a notice in accordance with the foregoing. Any subsequent notice or other communication must be sent to the party at its changed address. Any element of a party’s address that is not specifically changed in a notice will be assumed not to be changed. Sending a copy of a notice or other communication to a party’s legal counsel as contemplated above is for information purposes only and does not constitute delivery of the notice or other communication to that party. The failure to send a copy of a notice or other communication to legal counsel does not invalidate delivery of that notice or other communication to a party.

 

(5)The provisions of this Agreement will be binding upon and enure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, provided that no party may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto and the Company (the Company’s

 

 

 

consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), other than as set forth at Section 5 with regard to the Novacap Rollover Shareholders, and except that Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the Novacap Rollover Shareholders to the Financing Sources as collateral security for the obligations of Purchaser or its affiliates, as the case may be, to such financiers, provided, however, that no such assignments shall relieve Purchaser or Parent of their respective obligations hereunder.

 

(6)If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the terms of this Agreement remain as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

 

(7)This Agreement may not be modified, amended, altered or supplemented, except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement executed by all of the parties hereto and with the prior written consent of the Company (the Company’s consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

 

(8)Purchaser and Parent hereby undertake not to, without the prior written consent of the Novacap Rollover Shareholders (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and the Company (the Company’s consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), modify or waive any material term or condition of or amend or supplement in any material respect any of the other Rollover Agreements.

 

(9)This Agreement and the Support and Voting Agreement constitute an understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior agreement, representation or understanding with respect thereto.

 

(10)All references to dollars or to $ are references to U.S. dollars, unless specified otherwise. All amounts and references to cash are to be denominated and paid in U.S. dollars, unless specified otherwise.

 

(11)The provisions of this Agreement and all ancillary and related documents thereto have been freely negotiated and the parties to this Agreement waive the application of any Law or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in any agreement or other document shall be construed against the party drafting such agreement or other document.

 

(12)The parties expressly acknowledge that it is their express wish that this Agreement and all ancillary and related documents thereto be drafted in the English language. Les parties aux présentes confirment que ce contrat a été librement négocié et les parties confirment également leur volonté expresse que la présente entente et tous les documents qui y sont accessoires soient rédigés en anglais.

 

(13)Except as required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any Governmental Entity or in accordance with the requirements of any stock exchange, no party shall make any public announcement or statement with respect to this Agreement without the approval of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. Moreover, the parties agree to consult with each other prior to issuing each public announcement or

 

 

 

statement with respect to this Agreement or that refers to the Novacap Rollover Shareholders in connection with the Arrangement and to provide each other with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any draft of such public announcement or statement and to reasonably consider any such comments, subject to the overriding obligations of applicable Laws. Subject to the foregoing, each party hereby consents to the disclosure of the substance of this Agreement in any press release, documents filed with the Court in connection with the Arrangement or any filing pursuant to applicable Securities Laws, including the Circular and the Schedule 13E-3.

 

(14)If at any time after Closing, Purchaser, Parent or any Novacap Rollover Shareholder determines, or becomes aware that an “advisor” (as is defined for purposes of section 237.3 or section 237.4 of the Tax Act) or any other person has determined, that any transaction forming part of the same series of transactions as those contemplated by this Agreement is subject to the reporting requirements under section 237.3 or the notification requirements under section 237.4 of the Tax Act, including as a result of any future amendments or proposed amendments to such provisions, and any provincial equivalents (in this Section 9(14), the “Disclosure Requirements”), Purchaser, Parent or the Novacap Rollover Shareholders, as the case may be, shall promptly inform the other Party of its intent, or any other person’s intent, to comply with the Disclosure Requirements and the Parties will cooperate with respect to determining the applicability of such requirements. In the event that, following such cooperation, it is ultimately determined that any Party is required to file any applicable information return and/or disclosure in accordance with the Disclosure Requirements (in this Section 9(14), in each case, a “Mandatory Disclosure”), each Party required to file a Mandatory Disclosure (in this Section 9(14), a “Disclosing Party”) shall submit to the other Party a draft of such Mandatory Disclosure at least 30 days before the date on which such Mandatory Disclosure is required by Law to be filed, and such other Party shall have the right to make reasonable comments or changes on such draft by communicating such comments or changes in writing to the Disclosing Party at least 15 days before the date on which such Mandatory Disclosure is required by Law to be filed. The Disclosing Party shall consider in good faith any such comments or changes proposed by the other Party and shall incorporate such comments or changes which the Disclosing Party determines are reasonable and in accordance with Law. This provision shall also apply, mutatis mutandis, if any Party intends, or becomes aware of any person’s intention, to file, in relation to any transaction forming part of the same series of transactions as those contemplated by this Agreement, any disclosure on a voluntary basis, including pursuant to the proposed subsection 237.3(12.1) of the Tax Act and any provincial equivalent.

 

(15)Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in Purchaser any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to Novacap Shares prior to the Rollover Closing. All rights and all ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Novacap Shares shall remain vested in and belong to the applicable Novacap Rollover Shareholder and nothing herein shall, or shall be construed to, grant the Parent or Purchaser any power, sole or shared, to direct or control the voting or, subject to Section 5, the disposition of any such Novacap Shares.

 

(16)Each party will pay for its own fees, costs and expenses (including the fees, costs and expenses of legal counsel, accountants and other advisors) incurred by such party in connection with this Agreement.

 

 

 

(17)In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Arrangement Agreement, the terms of the Arrangement Agreement will prevail and the parties hereto will forthwith cause any necessary alternations to be made to this Agreement so as to resolve the conflict.

 

(18)This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including counterparts executed and delivered by electronic means) and all such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
