The Parties acknowledge that the Initial Stockholdings held by BR Health and the Investors in the Company’s total and voting share capital on the Closing Date must (or may not) be adjusted in accordance with the formulas and mechanisms set forth in this Section 4, to be used for the calculation of the respective Final Stockholdings (as defined below) (the “Stockholding Adjustment”).

 

4.1.1       Within 60 days from the delivery of the audit report containing the balance sheet and income statement of the Company and each of the Companies for the fiscal year with a base date on the Business Day prior to the Closing Date (the “Closing Base-Date”), EY shall deliver a specific report which shall indicate what was: (i) the EBITDA of the Company and each one of the Companies in the period between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2017; and (ii) the Net Debt of the Company and each one of the Companies on the Closing Date (the “Adjustment Report”). For the purposes of the Stockholding Adjustment provided for in this Section 4, the EBITDA and Net Debt figures in the Adjustment Report referring to the Company and to each one of the Companies shall be individually and indistinctly referred to as the “Audited Numbers.

 

4.1.2       Revision of the Adjustment Report. BR Health and Nicolau, upon receipt of the Adjustment Report, shall have the right to, within ten (10) Business Days:

 

(a)           accept each of the Audited Numbers included in the Adjustment Report, in which case: (i) the Audited Numbers shall be considered, for the purposes of Stockholding Adjustment, the Final Numbers; and (ii) BR Health shall calculate the Final Holding of BR Health and the Investors, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4.2, and report to the Company and the Investors the result of its calculation for the purposes of Stockholding Adjustment; or

 

(b)           only in the event that any one of the Audited Numbers suffer a variation greater than five percent (5%), when compared to its corresponding Estimated Number, question and challenge said value(s) of the Audited Number(s), in which case BR Health and/or the Investors (represented by Nicolau, only) shall inform the Company and the other Party of such objection, by means of a written and justified notice, and the Parties shall proceed in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1.3. The failure to send, or the untimely sending, by BR Health or the

 

15


 

Investors (represented by Nicolau, only), of the notice referred to in this Section 4.1.2(b) in the time limit provided for above shall be construed as full and unconditional acceptance by both Parties of the Audited Numbers, thus having the same effects as the acceptance provided for in Section 4.1.2(a) above. For purposes of clarification, only the Audited Numbers that have suffered a variation greater than five percent (5%) when compared to the corresponding Estimated Number may be subject to objection.

 

4.1.3       New Verification of Objected Audited Number(s):

 

(a)           if BR Health or the Investors (represented by Nicolau, only), as the case may be, question and challenge any of the Audited Numbers, pursuant to Section 4.1.2(b) above, BR Health or the Investors (represented by Nicolau, only) shall engage, within up to ten (10) Business Days of the expiration of the period set forth in the head paragraph of Section 4.1.2. above, at its own expense, an Authorized Auditor (other than EY), so that, within a maximum of forty (40) Business Days counted from its engagement, it may re-examine the contested Audited Numbers, with the purpose of determining and quantifying the adjustments necessary;

(c)           thus, the Final Numbers to be used for the confirmation or alteration of the Final Stockholdings of BR Health and the Investors, in the event of the objection set forth in Section 4.1.2.(b) above shall be the simple arithmetic mean between the amounts in the Adjustment Report and the Adjustment Notice.

In this case, the Parties shall cause the Stockholding Adjustment AGE to be convened within the time limit specified above;

 

(iii)          if the Final Stockholding to be held by Nicolau in the Purchase and Sale is greater than his Initial Stockholding, Nicolau shall: (a) be entitled to receive the difference between the purchase price paid by BR Health on the Closing Date and the Final Purchase Price, corresponding to the purchase of the Purchased  Shares, which

7.3.5                     Mitigation. The Indemnifying Party(ies) and the Indemnified Party(ies) shall cooperate with each other to mitigate any Losses and shall therefore always act in good faith.

All amounts to be indemnified by an Indemnifying Party within the scope of this Section 7 shall be increased by the amounts of any and all Taxes due from an Indemnified Party on the receipt of such amounts, so as to cancel out any and all tax effects that said Indemnified Party suffers, such that it be fully indemnified.
