This Share Repurchase Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into effective as of December 1, 2021. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the BCA (as defined below).

 

AMONG:

 

(1)CF Acquisition Corp. VI, a Delaware corporation (“SPAC”); and

 

(2)Christopher Pavlovski, an individual resident of Toronto, Canada (the “Shareholder”).

 

RECITALS:

 

A On the date hereof and concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, SPAC has entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA”) with Rumble Inc., an Ontario corporation (the “Company”), of which the Shareholder is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer.

 

B. At the closing of the transactions contemplated by the BCA and the Ancillary Agreements (the “Transaction Closing”), among other transactions, the Shareholder will be issued ExchangeCo Exchangeable Shares and shares of SPAC Class C Common Stock and SPAC Class D Common Stock.

 

C. Subject to and conditioned upon the occurrence of the Transaction Closing, the Shareholder desires to sell to SPAC and/or to ExchangeCo (a newly formed corporation to be formed by SPAC under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada as an indirect subsidiary of SPAC in accordance with the BCA), and SPAC desires to repurchase (or to cause ExchangeCo to repurchase) from the Shareholder, 1,100,000 ExchangeCo Exchangeable Shares (the “Repurchase Shares”) on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

D. Concurrently with the consummation of the Repurchase (as defined below), SPAC will redeem a corresponding number of shares of SPAC Class C Common Stock held by the Shareholder on the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Redemption”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, agreements and covenants herein set forth, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

 

1.Repurchase and Redemption.  At the Repurchase Closing, SPAC agrees to repurchase, and the Shareholder agrees to sell, transfer and deliver to SPAC, the Repurchase Shares subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (the “Repurchase”). The repurchase price (the “Repurchase Price”) for the Repurchase Shares shall be $11,000,000.00 in cash, or $10.00 (ten dollars) per Repurchase Share. Concurrently with the consummation of the Repurchase, SPAC shall redeem 1,100,000 shares of SPAC Class C Common Stock (the “Redemption Shares”) held by the Shareholder, in each case at a redemption price equal to the par value thereof (the “Redemption Price”) (i.e., $0.0001 per share, or an aggregate redemption price of $110 for all such shares of SPAC Class C Common Stock being redeemed pursuant to this Agreement).

 

 

 

 

2.Payment of Repurchase Price.

3.Closing.  The consummation of the Repurchase (“Repurchase Closing”) is subject to and conditioned upon the occurrence of the Transaction Closing, and shall take place immediately following the Transaction Closing on the Closing Date (as defined in the BCA). At the Repurchase Closing, the Shareholder shall surrender the Repurchase Shares and Redemption Shares to SPAC (or, at SPAC’s direction, to ExchangeCo) for repurchase and redemption effective upon receipt of the Repurchase Price and the Redemption Price. SPAC shall thereafter (i) cause ExchangeCo to cancel and retire the Repurchase Shares and (ii) cancel and retire the Redemption Shares.

 

The Shareholder hereby acknowledges that SPAC will instruct its transfer agent to update SPAC’s shareholder ledger immediately after the consummation of the Repurchase Closing to reflect the Repurchase of the Repurchase Shares and redemption of the Redemption Shares.

 

The Shareholder acknowledges that effective from the consummation of the Repurchase Closing, he shall cease to have any rights with respect to the Repurchase Shares and the Redemption Shares (except the right to receive the Repurchase Price and Redemption Price payable under this Agreement).

 

4.Representations and Warranties of the Shareholder.  The Shareholder hereby represents and warrants to SPAC that (a) the Shareholder has full legal right and capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and, subject to consummation of the transactions contemplated by the BCA and the Ancillary Agreements in accordance with the terms thereof, to perform the Shareholder’s obligations hereunder and (b) subject to the consummation of the Closing in accordance with the terms of the BCA, the Shareholder will own the Repurchase Shares and the Redemption Shares free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and claims of others (excepting restrictions on transfer under applicable securities laws, the New SPAC Governing Documents and the Lockup Agreement).

It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to equitable relief, including an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. Each party hereto further agrees that none of the parties hereto shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 14, and each party hereto irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

 

15.GOVERNING LAW AND JURY TRIAL.

To the extent he has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to himself or his property, the Shareholder hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of his obligations with respect to this Agreement.
