Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Business Combination Agreement

On May 31, 2022, Gesher I Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares, (“Gesher”) entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Freightos Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“Freightos”), Freightos Merger Sub I, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Freightos (“Merger Sub I”), and Freightos Merger Sub II, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Freightos (“Merger Sub II”), pursuant to which, among other transactions, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, (i) Merger Sub I will merge with and into Gesher (the “First Merger”), with Gesher surviving the First Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Freightos, and (ii) Gesher will merge with and into Merger Sub II (the “Second Merger” and together with the First Merger, collectively, the “Mergers”), with Merger Sub II surviving the Second Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Freightos.

Freightos operates a leading, vendor-neutral booking and payment platform for international freight. Through its marketplace for air, ocean and land freight transportation, Freightos connects carriers, freight forwarders and importers/exporters to provide instant pricing, booking, payment and shipment management services.

The Business Combination

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, at the closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated thereunder (collectively, the “Transaction”), among other things, (i) each ordinary share of Gesher, par value $0.0001 per share (“Gesher Ordinary Shares”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger (and after giving effect to the Unit Separation (as defined below) and any redemptions), will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be converted into the right of the holder thereof to receive one ordinary share of Freightos, par value $0.00001 per share (“Freightos Ordinary Shares”), and (ii) each issued and outstanding warrant of Gesher (“Gesher Warrants”) will be assumed by Freightos and converted into a corresponding warrant exercisable for Freightos Ordinary Shares subject to substantially the same terms and conditions applicable to the Gesher Warrants (“Freightos Warrants”).

Immediately prior to the First Merger, the Gesher Ordinary Shares and the Gesher Warrants comprising each issued and outstanding unit of Gesher (“Gesher Unit”), consisting of one Gesher Ordinary Share and one-half of one Gesher Warrant, will be automatically detached (the “Unit Separation”) and the holder thereof will be deemed to hold one Gesher Ordinary Share and one-half of one Gesher Warrant. No fractional Gesher Warrants will be issued in connection with the Unit Separation such that if a holder of such Gesher Units would be entitled to receive a fractional Gesher Warrant upon such separation, the number of Gesher Warrants to be issued to such holder upon such separation will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Gesher Warrants.

Immediately prior to the First Merger, Freightos and its shareholders will engage in a recapitalization of its outstanding equity securities (the “Recapitalization”) so that the only outstanding equity securities of Freightos will be Freightos Ordinary Shares and certain options to acquire Freightos Ordinary Shares that will remain outstanding following the Transaction. To effect the Recapitalization, (1) each preferred share of Freightos will automatically convert into Freightos Ordinary Shares in accordance with the Freightos organizational documents, and (2) immediately following such conversion, the Freightos Ordinary Shares will automatically convert into such number of Freightos Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing 39,000,000 by the sum of (A) the number of Freightos Ordinary Shares then issued and outstanding (including as a result of the aforementioned conversion of each preferred share of Freightos) and (B) without duplication, the number of Freightos Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of all options to acquire Freightos Ordinary Shares that either have vested prior to such time or are to vest pursuant to their terms on or prior to September 30, 2022. Following the Recapitalization, the Freightos Ordinary Shares shall be valued at $10.00 per share such that the total value of all Freightos Ordinary Shares equals $390,000,000, taking into account the options to acquire Freightos Ordinary Shares that either have vested prior to Closing or are to vest pursuant to their terms on or prior to September 30, 2022.

The Business Combination Agreement does not provide for any purchase price adjustments.

The Transaction has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both Gesher and Freightos.

In exchange for providing the Backstop Commitment, the Forward Purchaser will receive (a) an additional amount of Gesher Ordinary Shares equal to the amount of the Backstop Commitment drawn, divided by $10.00, and (b) 500,000 Gesher Warrants. Other than the Forward Purchaser, the parties to the forward purchase agreements executed in connection with Gesher’s initial public offering have elected not to exercise their forward purchase rights in connection with the Transaction.

The Forward Purchaser has unconditionally agreed not to exercise its redemption rights in connection with the Transaction with respect to its 990,000 outstanding Gesher Ordinary Shares that the Forward Purchaser acquired in Gesher’s initial public offering. Pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Forward Purchaser will be entitled to registration rights for the Freightos securities it receives at Closing.

The Forward Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Forward Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

In exchange for providing the Additional Backstop Commitment, Gesher will issue and sell to the additional backstop investor (a) 1,000,000 Gesher Ordinary Shares at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, and (b) 100,000 Gesher Warrants. Pursuant to the Agreement, Composite will be entitled to registration rights with respect to the Freightos Securities it receives at Closing. The closing of the Additional Backstop Commitment, to the extent that it is drawn upon, will be on the same date and immediately prior to, or simultaneously with, the Closing.

The Backstop Subscription Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2, and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Forward Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

Certain Related Agreements

Support Agreements

Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, Gesher and Freightos entered into Support Agreements (collectively, the “Support Agreements”) with certain shareholders of Freightos (the “Freightos Supporting Shareholders”). Pursuant to the Support Agreements, each Freightos Supporting Shareholder agreed to vote all of such shareholder’s Freightos shares in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and any actions that Freightos proposes in connection with the Transaction and to vote its Freightos shares against any other business combination transaction, any material change in the capitalization or corporate structure of Freightos, or any other action or proposal that would reasonably be expected to prevent, delay or adversely affect the Transaction. The Support Agreements prevent transfers of the Freightos shares held by the Freightos Supporting Shareholders between the date of the Support Agreement and the Closing, except for certain permitted transfers where the recipients also agree to comply with the Support Agreement.

A copy of the form of Support Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the form of Support Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

Freightos Registration Rights Agreement

The Business Combination Agreement contemplates that on or prior to the Closing, Freightos will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Freightos Registration Rights Agreement”) substantially in the form of Exhibit 10.5 hereto pursuant to which Freightos will grant certain registration rights to certain Freightos shareholders with respect to the Freightos Ordinary Shares and Freightos Warrants. The Freightos Registration Rights Agreement provides, among other things, certain Freightos shareholders with certain demand rights in the event of an underwritten offering, as well as piggyback rights in the event Freightos or any other holder of Freightos equity securities conducts a registered offering.

A copy of the Freightos Registration Rights Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.5 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Freightos Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

Lock-Up Agreements

Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, certain members of the Sponsor (the “Sponsor Holders”) entered into a Lock-Up Agreement with Freightos, Gesher and Sponsor (collectively, the “Sponsor Lock-Up Agreements”). Pursuant to the Sponsor Lock-Up Agreements, each Sponsor Holder agreed not to sell, hypothecate, pledge, hedge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, establish or increase certain derivative provisions with respect to the Restricted Securities (as defined below), or transfer economic ownership of the Restricted Securities, or make a public announcement of the intention to effect any such transaction (collectively, “Transfer”) any Freightos Ordinary Shares, Freightos Warrants, or any Freightos Ordinary Shares issuable in respect of Freightos Warrants (collectively, the “Restricted Securities”) received by Sponsor and attributable to such Sponsor Holder, from and after the Closing until the 36 month anniversary (such period, the “Sponsor Lock-Up Period”) of the date on which Closing occurs (the “Sponsor Lock-Up Restrictions”). However, (i) at each nine month anniversary of the Closing date, 25% of the Restricted Securities attributable to each Sponsor Holder will cease to be deemed Restricted Securities and (ii) if prior to the end of the Sponsor Lock-Up Period, a Change of Control (as defined in the Sponsor Lock-Up Agreements) of Freightos occurs, then all of the then-Restricted Securities will cease to be deemed Restricted Securities. When Restricted Securities cease to be Restricted Securities, such released securities may be Transferred without regard to the Sponsor Lock-Up Restrictions.

A copy of the form of the Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.7 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the form of Sponsor Lock-Up Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Business Combination Agreement, certain shareholders of Freightos (the “Freightos Holders”) entered into a Lock-Up Agreement with Freightos and Gesher (collectively, the “Freightos Lock-Up Agreements”). The Freightos Lock-Up Agreements are substantially similar to the Sponsor Lock-Up Agreements, except that (i) Restricted Securities includes only Freightos Ordinary Shares and Freightos Ordinary Shares underlying options to acquire Freightos Ordinary Shares, and (ii) the Freightos Holders are prohibited from Transferring the Restricted Securities from and after the Closing until the 24 month anniversary (the “Freightos Lock-Up Period”) of the date on which Closing occurs; provided, however, that (a) at each six month anniversary of the date on which Closing occurs, 25% of the Restricted Securities attributable to each Freightos Holder will cease to be deemed Restricted Securities and (b) if at any time after the Closing but prior to the end of the Freightos Lock-Up Period, a Change of Control occurs, then all of the then-Restricted Securities will cease to be deemed Restricted Securities. The Freightos Lock-Up Agreement with Asian Gateway Investments Pte. Ltd. permits Asian Gateway Investments Pte. Ltd. to make certain transfers that are not conducted on the Nasdaq, subject to certain conditions.

A copy of the form of the Freightos Lock-Up Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.8 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the form of Freightos Lock-Up Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the proposed business combination; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Freightos or Gesher, the combined company or others following the announcement of the proposed business combination; the inability to complete the proposed business combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of Freightos or Gesher or to satisfy other conditions to Closing; changes to the proposed structure of the proposed business combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval of the proposed business combination; the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the proposed business combination; the risk that the proposed business combination disrupts current plans and operations of Freightos as a result of the announcement and consummation of the proposed business combination; the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition and the ability of the combined company to build and maintain relationships with carriers, freight forwarders and importers/exporters and retain its management and key employees; costs related to the proposed business combination; changes in applicable laws or regulations; Freightos’ estimates of expenses and underlying assumptions with respect to shareholder redemptions and purchase price and other adjustments; any downturn or volatility in economic conditions; the effects of COVID-19 or other pandemics or epidemics; changes in the competitive environment affecting Freightos or its users, including Freightos’ inability to introduce new products or technologies; risks to Freightos’ ability to protect its intellectual property and avoid infringement by others, or claims of infringement against Freightos; the possibility that Freightos or Gesher may be adversely affected by other economic, business and/or competitive factors; Freightos’ estimates of its financial performance; risks related to the fact that Freightos is incorporated in the Cayman Islands and governed by the laws of the Cayman Islands; and those factors discussed in Gesher’s final prospectus dated October 12, 2021 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, in each case, under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents of Gesher filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither Freightos nor Gesher presently know or that Freightos and Gesher currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Freightos’ and Gesher’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Current Report. Freightos and Gesher anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause Freightos’ and Gesher’s assessments to change. However, while Freightos and Gesher may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Freightos and Gesher specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Freightos’ and Gesher’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

Each of SPAC, the Company, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II are individually referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the meanings set forth in Annex I.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, SPAC is a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses;

WHEREAS, the Company is a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares that, together with its Subsidiaries, is in the business of providing a digital booking platform and support services for international shipping;

WHEREAS, each of Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II is a newly incorporated Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares that was formed by the Company for the purpose of effectuating the Mergers;

WHEREAS, prior to the date of this Agreement, and as part of one integrated plan which includes the Transaction, the Company underwent an internal reorganization pursuant to which (a) the Company was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares, (b) the shareholders of Freightos Limited, a Hong Kong private company limited by shares (“Freightos HK”), contributed 100% of their equity interests in Freightos HK to the Company in exchange for the Company issuing an identical number of shares in the same class(es) with substantially the same rights and obligations as those they originally held in Freightos HK (but adjusted to reflect the difference between corporate laws of the Cayman Islands and the Laws of Hong Kong), and (c) all options to purchase ordinary shares of Freightos HK were exchanged for options to purchase an identical number of shares of the Company that have the same terms and conditions as the options of Freightos HK (collectively, the “Pre-Signing Reorganization”);

WHEREAS, prior to the First Effective Time, and as part of one integrated plan that includes the Transactions, Freightos HK will transfer all of its ownership interests in Freightos Inc., Freightos Ltd., Freightos Software Development and Data Services Ltd., Web Cargo, S.L.U. and Clearit Customs Brokers Inc. (the “Flipped Up Subsidiaries”) to the Company, following which the Flipped Up Subsidiaries will be directly owned by the Company (the “Pre-Closing Restructuring”);

 

1


WHEREAS, immediately prior to the First Effective Time, and as part of one integrated plan that includes the Transaction, the Company and its shareholders will engage in a pre-Closing recapitalization, pursuant to which: (a) the Company’s Organizational Documents shall be amended and restated in form and substance to be agreed to by the Company and SPAC and (b) following such amendment and restatement, (1) each Company Preferred Share will automatically convert into Company Ordinary Shares in accordance with the Company Organizational Documents; and (2) immediately following such conversion, but prior to the First Effective Time, each then outstanding Company Ordinary Share will automatically convert into such number of Company Ordinary Shares as is determined by multiplying such Company Ordinary Shares by the quotient obtained by dividing 39,000,000 by the sum of (i) the number of Company Ordinary Shares then issued and outstanding (including as a result of the aforementioned conversions of Company Preferred Shares) and (ii) without duplication, the number of Company Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of all Company Options which either have vested prior to such time or are to vest pursuant to their terms on or prior to September 30, 2022, all as more fully described in Section 2.2 (collectively, the “Recapitalization”), such that following the Recapitalization, for the avoidance of doubt, each Company Ordinary Share will be valued at $10.00;

WHEREAS, effective at the First Effective Time and as part of one integrated plan that includes the Transaction, (a) Merger Sub I will merge with and into SPAC, with SPAC being the surviving entity as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “First Merger”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Companies Act (as revised) of the Cayman Islands (the “Cayman Act”), and (b) each ordinary share of SPAC, par value $0.0001 (“SPAC Ordinary Shares”), and each preference share of SPAC, par value $0.0001 (“SPAC Preference Shares”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (after giving effect to any Redemptions) by virtue of the First Merger and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, shall be converted into and shall for all purposes represent only the right to receive an equal number of Company Ordinary Shares (the “SPAC Shares Consideration”);

WHEREAS, effective at the Second Effective Time and as part of one integrated plan that includes the Transaction, SPAC will merge with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II being the surviving entity as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Cayman Act;

WHEREAS, at the Closing and in connection with the First Merger, the Company, SPAC and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the warrant agent under the Warrant Agreement, will enter into an assignment, assumption and amendment agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Warrant Amendment”), pursuant to which SPAC will assign to the Company all of its rights, interests and obligations in and under the Warrant Agreement, and which causes each outstanding SPAC Warrant to be converted into a Company Warrant that represents the right to receive, from and after the Closing, the same number of Company Ordinary Shares on the same terms as the SPAC Warrant being assumed pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Amendment (the “SPAC Warrant Consideration”);

 

2


WHEREAS, prior to the date of this Agreement, SPAC has entered into a forward purchase agreement (as may be amended from time to time with the consent of the Company, the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) with a forward purchase investor (the “Forward Purchase Investor”) pursuant to which, among other things: (a) the Forward Purchase Investor has agreed to purchase an aggregate of 4,000,000 SPAC Units, consisting of 4,000,000 SPAC Ordinary Shares at a price per share equal to $10.00 and 2,000,000 SPAC Warrants, for an aggregate purchase price of $40,000,000, (the “Forward Purchase Subscription”); (b) the Forward Purchase Investor has agreed to provide up to $10,000,000 of committed capital to SPAC in the event that, as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, certain minimum cash conditions are not met (after giving effect to any Redemptions) in exchange for (i) an additional number of SPAC Ordinary Shares equal to the amount of the committed capital drawn, divided by $10.00 (rounded up to the nearest whole share), and (ii) 500,000 SPAC Warrants, in each case with such Forward Purchase Subscription and backstop subscription effective as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time but following the Recapitalization; and (c) the Forward Purchase Investor has agreed to irrevocably waive its redemption rights with respect to 990,000 SPAC Ordinary Shares;

WHEREAS, on or prior to the date of this Agreement, SPAC has entered into an additional backstop subscription agreement (as such agreement may be amended from time to time with the consent of the Company, the “Backstop Subscription Agreement”) pursuant to which an investor (the “Backstop Investor”) has agreed to provide $10,000,000 of committed capital to SPAC in the event that, as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, certain minimum cash conditions are not met (after giving effect to any Redemptions) in exchange for (a) 1,000,000 SPAC Ordinary Shares at a price per share equal to $10.00, and (b) 100,000 SPAC Warrants (collectively with the backstop subscription described in the foregoing recital, the “Backstop Subscription”), with such Backstop Subscription effective as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time but following the Recapitalization;

WHEREAS, on the date of this Agreement, an investor (the “PIPE Investor,” and together with the Forward Purchase Investor and the Backstop Investor, the “Investors”) has agreed to make a private investment in the Company to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 Company Ordinary Shares for an the aggregate purchase price of $10,000,000 at a price per share equal to $10.00 (the “PIPE Investment” and together with the Forward Purchase Subscription and the Backstop Subscription, the “Private Placement”), in each case, with such PIPE Investment effective as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time but following the Recapitalization and pursuant to a subscription agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “PIPE Subscription Agreement” and, collectively with the Forward Purchase Agreement and the Backstop Subscription Agreement, the “Subscription Agreements”);

WHEREAS, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, it is intended that (a) the Mergers, taken together, will qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a)(1) of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations pursuant to Revenue Ruling 2001-46, 2001-2 C.B. 321, (b) this Agreement constitutes a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 354, 361 and 368 of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations, and (c) the Company and SPAC will be parties to the applicable “reorganization” with the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code (collectively, the “Intended Tax Treatment”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the consummation of the Second Merger, the Company, Gesher I Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), and SPAC will, on or prior to the Closing, enter into an amendment to the SPAC Registration Rights Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Amended SPAC Registration Rights Agreement”), which will be effective as of the First Effective Time;

 

3

ARTICLE II

EFFECT OF THE MERGER

Section 2.1. Effect on Issued Securities of SPAC, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II. At the Closing, following the effectiveness of the Recapitalization, by virtue of and as part of the agreed consideration for the Mergers and without any further action on the part of any Party or the holders of any securities of SPAC, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II:

(a) SPAC Units. Immediately prior to the First Effective Time, each SPAC Unit then issued and outstanding shall be automatically detached and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold as of such time immediately prior to the First Effective Time one SPAC Ordinary Share and one-half of a SPAC Warrant in accordance with the terms of the applicable SPAC Unit (the “Unit Separation”); provided that no fractional SPAC Warrants will be issued in connection with the Unit Separation such that if a holder of SPAC Units would be entitled to receive a fractional SPAC Warrant upon the Unit Separation, the number of SPAC Warrants to be issued to such holder upon the Unit Separation shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of SPAC Warrants. At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger, the underlying SPAC Ordinary Shares and SPAC Warrants held (or deemed to be held following the Unit Separation) shall be converted in accordance with the applicable terms of this Section 2.1.

 

8


(b) SPAC Ordinary Shares. Immediately following the Unit Separation, at the First Effective Time, each SPAC Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (other than any (i) securities referred to in Section 2.1(d) and (ii) Redeeming SPAC Shares which, for the avoidance of doubt, are addressed in Section 2.1(g)) shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for the right to receive, upon delivery of the applicable letter of transmittal (if any) in accordance with Section 2.3(b), one newly issued Company Ordinary Share. As of the First Effective Time, each SPAC Shareholder shall cease to have any other rights in and to such SPAC Ordinary Shares, except as expressly provided herein.

(c) Exchange of SPAC Warrants. Immediately following the Unit Separation, at the First Effective Time, each whole SPAC Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall cease to be a warrant with respect to SPAC Ordinary Shares and be assumed by the Company and converted into a warrant to purchase one Company Ordinary Share (each, a “Company Warrant”). Each Company Warrant shall continue to have and be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such SPAC Warrant immediately prior to the First Effective Time (including with respect to the exercise price and any repurchase rights and cashless exercise provisions) in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement.

(d) SPAC Treasury Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each SPAC Share and any other capital stock of SPAC (i) that are owned by SPAC as treasury shares, (ii) owned by any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of SPAC, or (iii) that are issued and outstanding and owned directly or indirectly by the Company, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II immediately prior to the First Effective Time, shall be automatically cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or payment or other consideration therefore.

(e) Merger Sub I Share. The Merger Sub I Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall continue to exist and constitute the only issued and outstanding share in the capital of the First Surviving Subsidiary.

(f) Merger Sub II Share. The Merger Sub II Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall continue to exist and constitute the only issued and outstanding share in the capital of the Second Surviving Subsidiary.

(g) Redeeming SPAC Shares. Following the Unit Separation, but prior to the First Effective Time, any Redeeming SPAC Shares, the holder of which validly exercised (and did not validly revoke or withdraw) the SPAC Shareholder Redemption Right, shall be redeemed in accordance with the SPAC Charter and shall not be converted in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 2.1.

 

9


Section 2.2. Effect of the Merger on Issued Securities of the Company.

(a) Pre-Closing Recapitalization. Prior to the Closing, and effective immediately prior to the First Effective Time and the transactions described in Section 2.1, the Company shall effect the Recapitalization by virtue of the actions described in this Section 2.2(a):

(i) each Company Preferred Share shall automatically convert into Company Ordinary Shares in accordance with the then-current Company Organizational Documents;

(ii) immediately following the conversion described in Section 2.2(a)(i), each then outstanding Company Ordinary Share, other than Company Ordinary Shares owned by Company (as treasury stock) shall, as a result of the Recapitalization, automatically convert into such number of Company Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing 39,000,000 by the sum of (A) the number of Company Ordinary Shares then issued and outstanding (including as a result of the aforementioned conversion of Company Preferred Shares) and (B) without duplication, the number of Company Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of all Company Options that either have vested prior to such time or are to vest pursuant to their terms on or prior to September 30, 2022, and taking such quotient to five decimal places, which ratio is referred to as the “Conversion Ratio,” with all fractional Company Ordinary Shares being rounded up to the next higher integral number of Company Ordinary Shares (such that following such Recapitalization, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company Ordinary Shares shall be valued at $10.00 per share based on a $390,000,000 valuation on a partially diluted basis taking into account the Company Options that either have vested prior to, or are to vest pursuant to their terms on or prior to September 30, 2022); and

(iii) as a result of the Recapitalization, each Company Option shall be adjusted in accordance with the Company Stock Plan to reflect the Recapitalization as set forth in this Section 2.2(a) such that each Company Option outstanding immediately prior to (and as part of) the consummation of the Recapitalization shall, without any action on the part of the holder thereof and in accordance with the provisions of the Company Option, become an option to purchase such number of Company Ordinary Shares, in each instance determined by (A) multiplying the number of Company Ordinary Shares issuable upon such exercise of such Company Option by the Conversion Ratio and (B) dividing the exercise price of such Company Option by the Conversion Ratio, with all fractional Company Ordinary Shares being rounded up to the next higher integral number of Company Ordinary Shares.

(b) Company Ordinary Shares. All Company Ordinary Shares outstanding prior to the consummation of the Mergers shall remain outstanding following the consummation of the Mergers and shall in no way be affected by the Mergers.

(c) Company Options. All Company Options outstanding prior to the consummation of the Mergers shall remain outstanding following the consummation of the Mergers and, unless otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, shall in no way be affected by the Mergers. From and after the First Effective Time and until the Closing, no new awards will be granted under any Company Stock Plan.

Section 2.3. SPAC Securities and Certificates.

(a) Prior to the First Effective Time, the Company and SPAC shall appoint Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company as exchange agent, or another exchange agent reasonably acceptable to the Company and SPAC (in such capacity, the “Exchange Agent”), for the purpose of, (i) acting as registrar and transfer agent and keeping the register of members of the Company in accordance with the Cayman Act, including recording the exchanging of each SPAC Share for one Company Ordinary Share and (ii) exchanging each SPAC Warrant on the warrant transfer books of SPAC and the Company immediately prior to the First Effective Time for the Company Warrants issuable in respect of such SPAC Warrants in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Warrant Amendment.

(b) All securities issued upon the surrender of SPAC Securities in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such securities; provided that any restrictions on the sale and transfer of SPAC Securities prior to the Closing shall also apply from and after the Closing to the Company Ordinary Shares and Company Warrants so issued in exchange. To the extent that such SPAC Securities are represented by physical certificates, the holders of such SPAC Securities will be provided a letter of transmittal to send their certificated SPAC Securities to the transfer agent and warrant agent for the Company Ordinary Shares and Company Warrants, which shall be the same as the transfer agent and warrant agent for SPAC Securities, and such transfer agent or warrant agent will, upon receipt of completed documentation, issue the Company Ordinary Shares and Company Warrants that are issuable in respect of the holder’s SPAC Securities. To the extent that the SPAC Securities are held in book entry, the issuance of Company Ordinary Shares or Company Warrants will automatically be made by the transfer agent and warrant agent.

(c) In the event any certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates or securities, as the case may be, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof such securities, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.1; provided, however, that the Company may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Company with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(d) If the SPAC Shares Consideration is to be issued to a Person other than the holder of the SPAC Shares in whose name the transferred SPAC Share in book-entry form is registered, it shall be a condition to the issuance of the SPAC Shares Consideration that (i) the recipient of such SPAC Shares Consideration, or the Person in whose name such SPAC Shares Consideration is delivered or issued, shall have already executed and delivered duly executed counterparts to the applicable transmittal documents as are reasonably deemed necessary by the Exchange Agent, (ii) such SPAC Shares in book-entry form shall be properly transferred, and (iii) the Person requesting such consideration pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer Taxes required as a result of such consideration being issued to a Person other than the registered holder of such SPAC Share in book-entry form or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such transfer Taxes have been paid or are not payable.

 

11


(e) If any SPAC Warrant Consideration is to be issued to a Person other than the holder in whose name the transferred SPAC Warrant in book-entry form is registered, it shall be a condition to the issuance of the Company Warrants that (i) the recipient of such Company Warrant, or the Person in whose name such Company Warrant is to be issued, shall have already executed and delivered duly executed counterparts to the applicable transmittal documents as are reasonably deemed necessary by the Exchange Agent, (ii) such Company Warrant in book-entry form shall be properly transferred, and (iii) the Person requesting such consideration pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer Taxes required as a result of such consideration being issued to a Person other than the registered holder of such SPAC Warrant in book-entry form or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such transfer Taxes have been paid or are not payable.

(f) After the First Effective Time, the register of shareholders of SPAC shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration on the register of shareholders of the First Surviving Subsidiary of transfers of SPAC Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time.

(g) Any SPAC Securities made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 2.3 that remain unclaimed by any holder of SPAC Securities one year after the First Effective Time shall be delivered to the Company or as otherwise instructed by the Company, and any holder of SPAC Securities who has not exchanged his, her or its SPAC Securities for the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.3 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to the Company for the issuance of the Merger Consideration without any interest thereon (but with any dividends paid with respect thereto). None of the Parties or the Second Surviving Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates shall be liable to any Person in respect of any consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, unclaimed property, escheat or similar Law. Any Merger Consideration remaining unclaimed by the holders of SPAC Securities immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of the Company free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

Section 2.4. No Fractional Company Ordinary Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no fraction of a Company Ordinary Share will be issued by virtue of the First Merger or the Transaction, and each Person who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a Company Ordinary Share shall instead have the number of Company Ordinary Shares issued to such Person rounded up in the aggregate to the nearest whole Company Ordinary Share.

 

12


Section 2.5. Withholding.

(a) Each of SPAC, the Company, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II, the Exchange Agent, the Israeli Withholding Agent (and each of their respective Affiliates) and any other Person making a payment under this Agreement (each, a “Payor”) shall only be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld under any applicable Law relating to Taxes. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Each Payor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify any Person to whom amounts would otherwise be payable of any amounts that it intends to deduct and withhold prior to the payment with respect to which such amounts will be withheld (which notice shall set forth a description of the factual and legal basis for such withholding). The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to eliminate or reduce any such deduction or withholding (including through the request and provision of any statements, forms or other documents to reduce or eliminate any such deduction or withholding) to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.5(a), with respect to Israeli Taxes:

(i) The consideration payable to each SPAC Shareholder (each, a “Payee”) who holds five percent (5%) or more of the issued and outstanding Equity Securities of SPAC immediately prior to the Closing (on an issued and fully diluted basis and after giving effect to any Redemptions) shall be retained by the Exchange Agent for the benefit of each such Payee for a period of up to one hundred eighty (180) days from the Closing Date or as otherwise requested in writing by the ITA (the “Withholding Drop Date”) (during which time no Payor shall make any payments to any Payee or withhold any amounts for Israeli Taxes from any consideration deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, except as provided below and during which time each Payee may obtain a Valid Certificate). If a Payee delivers to the Israeli Withholding Agent, no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Withholding Drop Date, with respect to any Payee who holds five percent (5%) or more of the issued and outstanding Equity Securities of SPAC immediately prior to the Closing (on an issued and fully diluted basis and after giving effect to any Redemptions), a Valid Certificate, then the deduction and withholding of any Israeli Taxes shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of such Valid Certificate, and the balance of the consideration that is not withheld shall be transferred to such Payee concurrently therewith, subject to any non-Israeli withholding which is applicable to the payment (if any). With respect to any Payee who holds less than five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding Equity Securities of SPAC immediately prior to the Closing (on an issued and fully diluted basis and after giving effect to any Redemptions), no deduction and withholding of any Israeli Taxes shall be made. If any Payee who holds five percent (5%) or more of the issued and outstanding Equity Securities of SPAC immediately prior to the Closing (on an issued and fully diluted basis and after giving effect to any Redemptions) (i) fails to provide the Israeli Withholding Agent with a Valid Certificate at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Withholding Drop Date, or (ii) submits a written request to the Exchange Agent to release its portion of the consideration prior to the Withholding Drop Date and fails to submit to the Israeli Withholding Agent a Valid Certificate at or before such time, then the amount to be withheld from such Payee’s portion of the consideration shall be calculated according to the applicable withholding rate in accordance with applicable Law as reasonably determined by the Israeli Withholding Agent.

 

13


(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.5(b)(i), if, as of the Closing, the Withholding Tax Ruling has been obtained, then the deduction and withholding of any Israeli Taxes shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of such Withholding Tax Ruling. For avoidance of doubt, any Payee with respect to whom the Withholding Tax Ruling shall not apply (based on the terms of the Withholding Tax Ruling), shall be subject to withholding of Israeli Taxes pursuant to Section 2.5(b)(i). The Company shall provide SPAC with a reasonable opportunity to review any submissions provided by, or caused to be provided by, the Company to the ITA pursuant to this Section 2.5 and will consider SPAC’s comments to such submissions in good faith.

(iii) To the extent that a Payor is required, pursuant to this Section 2.5(b), to withhold Israeli Taxes from consideration payable to a Payee, such Payee shall provide the Payor with an amount in cash sufficient to satisfy such Israeli Taxes prior to the release of the consideration to such Payee. In the event that the Payee fails to provide the Payor with the full amount in cash necessary to satisfy such Israeli Taxes no later than three (3) Business Days before the Withholding Drop Date (or such earlier date requested by the Payee), the Payor shall be entitled to sell the Payee’s retained Company Shares, Company Options, and Company Warrants (together, “Company Securities”), or any of them, as applicable, to the extent necessary to satisfy the full amount due with regards to such Israeli Taxes, and shall pay over, from the proceeds of such sale, the amount of applicable withholding Taxes required to be paid to the ITA, and shall deliver the balance of the consideration to the applicable Payee. To the extent that the Payor is unable, for whatever reason, to sell the applicable portion of Company Securities required to finance the deduction or withholding requirements, then the Payor shall be entitled to hold all of the Company Securities otherwise deliverable to the applicable Payee until the earlier of: (A) the receipt of a Valid Certificate, fully exempting the Payor from Israeli Tax withholding or receipt of cash amount equal to the Tax that should be withheld by the Payor; or (B) such time when the Payor is able to sell the portion of such Company Securities otherwise deliverable to such Payee that is required to enable the Payor to comply with such applicable deduction or withholding requirements. Any costs or expenses incurred by the Payor in connection with such sale shall be borne by, and deducted from the payment to, the applicable Payee. For the avoidance of doubt, any such sale by a Payor when permitted hereby shall not constitute a violation or breach of or default under this Agreement or any Transaction Document that might otherwise restrict such sale. Each Payee hereby waives, releases and absolutely and forever discharges the Payor from and against any and all claims for any losses in connection with the forfeiture or sale of any portion of Company Securities, otherwise deliverable to such Payee in compliance with the withholding requirements under this Section 2.5.

 

14


(iv) The Parties will work together reasonably and in good faith to implement the foregoing requirements of this Section 2.5, and may by mutual agreement vary or waive such requirements.

(v) Prior to the First Effective Time, the Company shall designate an Israeli information and withholding agent (the “Israeli Withholding Agent”) to assist in collecting and reviewing any Valid Certificates, and the Company shall enter into an agreement with the Israeli Withholding Agent (which shall include, for avoidance of doubt, an undertaking by the Israeli Withholding Agent as required under Section 6.2.4.3 of the Israeli Income Tax Circular 19/2018 (Transaction for Sale of Rights in a Corporation that Includes Consideration that will be Transferred to a Company’s Shareholders at Future Dates)). All Israeli Taxes required to be withheld pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be remitted to the ITA by the Israeli Withholding Agent.

TRUST ACCOUNT WAIVER

Section 9.1. Trust Account Waiver. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, each of the Company, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II acknowledges that it has read the IPO Prospectus, including the Trust Agreement, and understands that SPAC has established the trust account described therein (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of SPAC’s public shareholders and that disbursements from the Trust Account are available only in the limited circumstances set forth therein. Each of the Company, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II further acknowledges and agrees that SPAC’s sole assets consist of the cash proceeds of the IPO and the overallotment shares acquired by SPAC’s underwriters and from certain private placements of its securities occurring simultaneously with the IPO, and that substantially all of these proceeds have been deposited in the Trust Account for the benefit of SPAC’s public shareholders (the “Public Shareholders”). Accordingly, for and in consideration of SPAC entering into this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company, (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II hereby waives any past, present or future claim of any kind arising out of this Agreement against, and any right to access, the Trust Account, any trustee of the Trust Account, SPAC, Sponsor and any of their Affiliates, to collect from the Trust Account any monies that may be owed to them by SPAC or any of its Affiliates for any reason whatsoever, and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account, any trustee of the Trust Account, SPAC, Sponsor or any of their Affiliates at any time for any reason whatsoever, including for any knowing and intentional breach by any of the Parties to this Agreement of any of its representations or warranties as set forth in this Agreement, or such Party’s material breach of any of its covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement, which material breach constitutes, or is a consequence of, a purposeful act or failure to act by such Party with the knowledge that the taking of such act or failure to take such act would cause a material breach of this Agreement. This Section 9.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

The Parties further agree that if any provision contained in this Agreement is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained in this Agreement that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the Parties.

(iii) For purposes hereof: (A) “Backstop Subscription Amount” means an amount equal to (A) $100,000,000 minus (B) the Available Closing SPAC Cash; provided that in no event shall the Backstop Subscription Amount exceed $10,000,000 or be less than $0; and (B) “Available Closing SPAC Cash” shall be an amount equal to (A) the amount of cash in the Trust Account immediately prior to the Closing (after reduction for the aggregate amount of payments required to be made in connection with the SPAC Redemptions) plus (B) the aggregate amount of funds that have been funded, or that will be funded immediately prior to or concurrently with the Closing, to the Company or Parent in connection with any forward purchase agreements and PIPE investments entered into by Company or Parent in connection with the Business Combination.

The closing of the issuance and sale of the Backstop Warrants and the Backstop Shares (the “Backstop Closing” and, together with the Forward Closing, the “Closing”) shall be on the Forward Closing Date and immediately prior to, or simultaneously with, the Business Combination Closing. At the Backstop Closing, the Company will issue to the Purchaser the Backstop Shares (if any) and the Backstop Warrants, each registered in the name of the Purchaser, against delivery of the Backstop Subscription Amount (if greater than $0) in cash via wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company in the Closing Notice.

The execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not result in any violation or default (i) of any provisions of its organizational documents, (ii) of any instrument, judgment, order, writ or decree to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (iii) under any note, indenture or mortgage to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (iv) under any lease, agreement, contract or purchase order to which it is a party or by which it is bound or (v) of any provision of federal or state statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Purchaser, in each case (other than clause (i)), which would have a material adverse effect on the Purchaser or its ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Purchaser hereby confirms, that as of the date hereof and as of the issuance and sale of the Securities, the Securities to be acquired by the Purchaser will be acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of any state or federal securities laws, and that the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of law.

(g) Restricted Securities. The Purchaser understands that the offer and sale of the Securities to the Purchaser has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein.

The Purchaser’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Securities will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the Purchaser’s jurisdiction.

(l) No General Solicitation. To the Purchaser’s knowledge, neither the Purchaser, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, stockholders or partners has either directly or indirectly, including, through a broker or finder (i) engaged in any general solicitation, or (ii) published any advertisement in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities.

4. Registration Rights.

(a) Registration. The Company shall (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to file within thirty (30) calendar days after the Business Combination Closing (the “Filing Date”) a registration statement on Form S-1 (a “Forward Registration Statement”) covering the resale of the Securities and underlying securities (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”); pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act; (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a Forward Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable after the filing thereof but no later than the earlier of (i) the 90th calendar day (or 120th calendar day if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Business Combination Closing and (ii) the 10th Business Day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Date”); provided, however, that the Company’s obligation to include the Registrable Securities in the Forward Registration Statement is contingent upon the Purchaser furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding the Purchaser, the securities of the Company held by the Purchaser and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and the Purchaser shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations. The Company shall maintain each Forward Registration Statement in accordance with the terms hereof (provided that the Company shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Forward Registration Statement during any customary blackout or similar period or as

 

11


permitted hereunder), and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep such Forward Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities included on such Forward Registration Statement. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Forward Registration Statement to a Form S-3 or F-3 or similar as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use such short-form registration statement. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Company to file the Registration Statement by the Filing Date or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Date shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file or effect the Forward Registration Statement as set forth in this Section 4.

(b) The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide a draft of the Forward Registration Statement to the undersigned for review (but not comment) at least two (2) business days in advance of filing the Forward Registration Statement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be required to delay or postpone the filing of the Forward Registration Statement as a result of or in connection with the undersigned’s review. In no event shall the Purchaser be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Forward Registration Statement unless required by the SEC or otherwise agreed to by the Purchaser in writing; provided, that if the SEC requests that the Purchaser be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Forward Registration Statement, the Purchaser will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Forward Registration Statement. Any failure by the Company to file or to effect the Forward Registration Statement by the deadlines set out herein shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file or effect the Forward Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 4. The Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform the Purchaser as to the status of the registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Company Obligations. In the case of the registration, qualification, exemption or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform the Purchaser as to the status of such registration, qualification, exemption and compliance. At its expense the Company shall:

(i) except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Forward Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Company determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to the Purchaser, and to keep the applicable Forward Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf Forward Registration Statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (i) the Purchaser ceases to hold any Registrable Securities or (ii) the date all Registrable Securities held by the Purchaser may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable), and (iii) three years from the effective date of the Forward Registration Statement;

 

12


(ii) advise the Purchaser within five (5) Business Days:

(A) when a Forward Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when such Forward Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

(B) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any Forward Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;

(C) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Forward Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

(D) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

(E) subject to the provisions in this Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Forward Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

(iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Forward Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

(iv) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated above, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Forward Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Forward Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(v) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Ordinary Shares issued by the Company have been listed (each, an “Exchange”);

(vi) use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities contemplated hereby and to enable the Purchaser to sell the Registrable Securities under Rule 144.

 

13


(d) Legend Removal.

(i) If the Securities are eligible to be sold without restriction under, and without the Company being in compliance with the current public information requirements of, Rule 144 under the Securities Act, then at the Purchaser’s request, the Company will cause the Company’s transfer agent to remove the legend set forth in Section 1(a)(vi). In connection therewith, if required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company will promptly cause an opinion of counsel to be delivered to and maintained with its transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent that authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Securities, as applicable, without any such legend.

(ii) Additionally, at Purchaser’s request and at the Company’s expense, when a Forward Registration Statement identifying the Purchaser as a selling stockholder is effective under the Securities Act and no Suspension Event (as defined in Section 4(i)) is in effect, then (A) upon delivery by Purchaser of representations as to the matters set forth in Exhibit A hereto, and (B) if required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly cause an opinion of counsel based, among such other things, on the representations and undertakings of the Purchaser, to be delivered to the Company’s transfer agent together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required by the transfer agent that authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such Securities, as applicable, without any such legend.

(e) Certificates. The Company shall cooperate with a Purchaser, at its request, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of physical certificates representing the securities underlying the Securities and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the Purchasers may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Purchasers may request. Any such physical certificates shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the form set forth in Section 1(a)(vi).

(f) Suspension Events. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Forward Registration Statement, and from time to time to require the Purchaser not to sell under the Forward Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Company or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event the Company’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Company in the Forward Registration Statement of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Forward Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Company’s board of directors, upon the advice of legal counsel, to cause the Forward Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Company may not delay or suspend the Forward Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than ninety (90) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Company of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Forward Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Forward Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus)

 

14


not misleading, the Purchaser agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities under the Forward Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until the Purchaser receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Company agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Company that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Company unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by the Company, the Purchaser will deliver to the Company or, in the Purchaser’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities in the Purchaser’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities shall not apply (i) to the extent the Purchaser is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

(g) Opt-Out Notice. The Purchaser may deliver written notice (including via email) (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to the Company requesting that the Purchaser not receive notices from the Company otherwise required by this Section 4; provided, however, that the Purchaser may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from the Purchaser (unless subsequently revoked), (i) the Company shall not deliver any such notices to the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to the Purchaser’s intended use of an effective Forward Registration Statement, the Purchaser will notify the Company in writing at least two (2) Business Days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section 4) and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Company will so notify the Purchaser, within one (1) Business Day of the Purchaser’s notification to the Company, by delivering to the Purchaser a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide the Purchaser with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event immediately upon its availability.

(h) Indemnification.

(i) The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser (to the extent a seller under the Forward Registration Statement), the officers, directors, agents, partners, members, managers, stockholders, affiliates, employees and investment advisers of the Purchaser, each person who controls the Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, stockholders, agents, affiliates, employees and investment advisers of each such controlling person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, that arise out of or are based upon (A) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Forward Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Forward Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus,

 

15


or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (B) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Section 4, except to the extent, but only to the extent (x) that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based solely upon information regarding the Purchaser furnished in writing to the Company by the Purchaser expressly for use therein or (y) offers or sales by the Purchaser during a Suspension Event. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Purchaser. The Company shall notify the Purchaser promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 4 of which the Company is aware. The Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, the officers, directors, agents, partners, members, managers, stockholders, affiliates, employees and investment advisers of the Company, each person who controls the Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and their successors and assigns, from and against any and all Losses, as incurred, that arise out of or are based on sales by the Purchaser during a Suspension Event.

(ii) The obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any seller named in the Forward Registration Statement (the “Other Sellers”), and the Purchaser shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Seller under this Agreement. The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or that are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Forward Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Forward Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding the Purchaser furnished in writing to the Company by the Purchaser expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of the Purchaser be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Purchaser upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(i) Transfer. The rights, duties and obligations of the Purchaser under this Section 4 may be assigned or delegated by the Purchaser in conjunction with and to the extent of any permitted transfer or assignment of Registrable Securities by the Purchaser to any transferee or assignee pursuant to Section 9(f).

5. Additional Agreements and Acknowledgements of the Purchaser.

(a) Right of First Refusal. The Company hereby grants the Purchaser, together with all other purchasers entering into similar Forward Purchase Agreements with the Company as of or prior to the date hereof (“Other Purchasers”), a right of first refusal with respect to any additional third-party equity financing required by the Company in connection with any Business Combination, excluding financings to the Target, the equityholders of the Target or the initial shareholders of the Company or their affiliates (such financing, an “Additional Financing”). The Company shall notify the Purchaser of the principal terms of any proposed Additional Financing and offer the Purchaser the right to participate in such Additional Financing pro rata with all Other Purchasers. If the Purchaser chooses to accept, the Purchaser shall have five (5) Business Days from the date of such notice to enter into a definitive subscription agreement providing for such Additional Financing.

(ii) The Purchaser hereby agrees that it shall have no right of set-off or any right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”) to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account, and hereby irrevocably waives any Claim to, or to any monies in, the Trust Account that it may have now or in the future, except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, the Purchaser may have in respect of any Public Shares held by it. In the event the Purchaser has any Claim against the Company under this Agreement, the Purchaser shall pursue such Claim solely against the Company and its assets outside the Trust Account and not against the property or any monies in the Trust Account, except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, the Purchaser may have in respect of any Public Shares held by it.

(c) Voting. The Purchaser hereby agrees that if the Company seeks stockholder approval of the initial proposed Business Combination, then in connection with such proposed Business Combination, the Purchaser shall vote any Ordinary Shares owned by it in favor of any proposed Business Combination.

(d) Redemption. The Purchaser hereby irrevocably waives any rights to which it would otherwise be entitled to redeem any Forward Purchase Units (including the underlying Ordinary Shares) or any other Ordinary Shares owned by it (including any Ordinary Shares acquired in the IPO) into funds held in the Trust Account upon the successful completion of a Business Combination.

Exhibit 10.2

BACKSTOP SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

Gesher I Acquisition Corp.

Hagag Towers

North Tower, Floor 24

Haarba 28

Tel Aviv, Israel

Attn: Ezra Gardner

This Backstop Subscription Agreement (this “Agreement”) is being entered into as of April 14, 2022 by and between Gesher I Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“SPAC”), and the undersigned subscriber (“Subscriber”). In connection with a potential business combination (a “Transaction”) with one or more businesses or entities to be identified from time to time by SPAC to Subscriber in writing (any such target company so identified, a “Target Company”) pursuant to a definitive agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”), SPAC is seeking commitments to purchase that number of ordinary shares of SPAC, par value $0.0001 per share, set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Backstop Shares”) for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Per Share Purchase Price” and the aggregate purchase price for the Backstop Shares set forth on the signature page hereto, the “Purchase Price”) to backstop ordinary shares of SPAC validly redeemed by SPAC’s shareholders in connection with a Transaction (the “SPAC Redemptions”).

In connection with the Subscriber’s subscription for the Backstop Shares, SPAC desires to issue to Subscriber 100,000 warrants of SPAC (the “Backstop Warrants” and, collectively with the Backstop Shares, the “Securities”), each of which is exercisable to purchase one ordinary share of SPAC at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment and subject to the terms of the Warrant Agreement filed by SPAC with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

In consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, SPAC and Subscriber agree as follows:

1. Subscription. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3, (a) Subscriber hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from SPAC, and SPAC agrees to sell to Subscriber, the Backstop Shares at the Per Share Purchase Price, and (b) SPAC agrees to issue to Subscriber the Backstop Warrants, in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

2. Closing; Delivery of Shares.

(a) The closing of the sale of Backstop Shares and issuance of the Backstop Warrants contemplated hereby (the “Closing,” and the date that the Closing actually occurs, the “Closing Date”) is contingent upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to closing set forth in Section 3 and the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction (the “Transaction Closing”). The Closing shall occur on the date of, and immediately prior to or simultaneously with, the Transaction Closing. In the event the Closing with respect to the Backstop Shares is not consummated due solely to the failure of the condition set forth in Section 3(a)(i) to be satisfied but all other conditions to Closing have been satisfied, SPAC shall issue to Subscriber the Backstop Warrants in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) SPAC shall provide written notice to Subscriber (the “Closing Notice”) not less than two (2) business days prior to the Closing, which Closing Notice shall specify (i) the anticipated date of the Transaction Closing, (ii) the Available Closing SPAC Cash (as defined below) and (iii) the wire instructions for the payment by Subscriber of the Purchase Price for the Backstop Shares. The payment of the Purchase Price by the Subscriber shall be in cash via wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by SPAC in the Closing Notice.


(c) As soon as practicable following the Closing, SPAC shall deliver (or cause the delivery of) to Subscriber evidence of issuance of the Securities in book-entry form, which Securities will contain a notation, and each certificate (if any) and/or the register of members kept in accordance with the Companies Act (as revised) of the Cayman Islands (in respect of the Backstop Shares) evidencing the Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend, in substantially the following form:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED IN VIOLATION OF SUCH ACT AND LAWS. THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION, OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG THE HOLDER AND THE COMPANY. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER OF THE COMPANY”.

(d) As used in this Agreement, “Available Closing SPAC Cash” shall be an amount equal to (i) the amount of cash in the Trust Account (as defined below) immediately prior to the Closing (after reduction for the aggregate amount of payments required to be made in connection with the SPAC Redemptions) plus (ii) the aggregate amount of funds that have been funded, or that will be funded immediately prior to or concurrently with the Closing, to SPAC or the Successor (as defined below) in connection with any forward purchase agreements, backstop agreements (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement) and PIPE investments entered into by SPAC or the Successor in connection with a Transaction.

3. Closing Conditions.

(ii) the applicable Transaction Closing shall be consummated substantially concurrently with or immediately following the purchase of the Securities;

(iii) the representations and warranties of SPAC set forth in Section 4 shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof and shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of such date (other than any such representation or warranty that is made by its terms as of a specified date, which shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such specified date);

(iv) SPAC shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by SPAC at or prior to the Closing; and

(b) The obligation of SPAC to issue and sell the Securities shall be subject to the fulfillment, at or prior to the Closing of each of the following conditions, any of which, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, may be waived by SPAC:

(b) The Securities have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered to Subscriber against full payment therefor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Securities will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will not have been issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive or similar rights created under SPAC’s organizational documents or under the laws of the Cayman Islands.

(c) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by SPAC and is enforceable against SPAC in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

(d) Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Subscriber in Section 5, SPAC is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization, or other person in connection with the issuance of the Securities, other than (i) filings with the SEC, (ii) filings required by applicable state securities laws, (iii) the filings required in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (iv) those required by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) and (v) those filings as to which the failure to obtain would not be reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, properties, financial condition, shareholders’ equity, or results of operations of SPAC.

(e) SPAC is in compliance with all applicable laws, except where such non-compliance would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, financial condition, shareholders’ equity or results of operations of SPAC. SPAC has not received any written communication from a governmental authority that alleges that SPAC is not in compliance with or is in default or violation of any applicable law, except where such non-compliance, default or violation would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, properties, financial condition, shareholders’ equity, or results of operations of SPAC.

The Securities (i) were not offered to Subscriber by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act or any state securities laws.

5. Subscriber Representations and Warranties. Subscriber represents and warrants to SPAC that:

(a) Subscriber is either a U.S. investor or non-U.S. investor as set forth under its name on the signature page hereto, and accordingly represents the applicable additional matters under clause (i) or (ii) below:

(i) Applicable to U.S. investors. At the time Subscriber was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof, Subscriber is (i) a “qualified institutional buyer” (within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act) as indicated in the questionnaire attached as Exhibit A hereto, and (ii) is acquiring the Securities only for its own account, and not for the account of others, and not on behalf of any other account or person or with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act.

Subscriber understands and agrees that the Securities, until registered under an effective registration statement, will be subject to transfer restrictions and, as a result of these transfer restrictions, Subscriber may not be able to readily resell the Securities and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment for an indefinite period of time. Subscriber understands that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or transfer of any of the Securities.

(c) Subscriber understands and agrees that Subscriber is purchasing the Securities directly from SPAC. Subscriber further acknowledges that there have been no representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made to Subscriber by SPAC, or any of its respective officers or directors, expressly (other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements included in this Agreement) or by implication. Except for the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of SPAC expressly set forth in this Agreement, Subscriber is relying exclusively on its own sources of information, investment analysis and due diligence (including professional advice it deems appropriate) with respect to the applicable Transaction, the Securities and the business, condition (financial and otherwise), management, operations, properties and prospects of SPAC, including all business, legal, regulatory, accounting, credit and tax matters.

(e) Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber has received such information as Subscriber deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Securities, including, with respect to SPAC and the applicable Transaction and the business of SPAC and its subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subscriber acknowledges that he, she or it has reviewed the respective filings of SPAC with the SEC. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber and Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full access to and opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such financial and other information and an opportunity to review such information as Subscriber and such Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Securities.

(f) Subscriber acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Securities, including those set forth in SPAC’s respective filings with the SEC. Subscriber is a sophisticated investor, experienced in investing in private placement transactions and with the requisite knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities, and has exercised informed, independent judgment in evaluating its participation in the purchase of the Securities.

The signature on this Agreement is genuine, and the signatory, if Subscriber is an individual, has legal competence and capacity to execute the same or, if Subscriber is not an individual, the signatory has been duly authorized to execute the same, and this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Subscriber, enforceable against Subscriber in accordance with its terms.

Subscriber is not: (i) a person included on any Sanctions-related list of blocked or designated parties (including the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the U.S. and administered by OFAC (“OFAC List”), owned or controlled by, or acting on behalf of, a person, that is named on an OFAC List, or a person prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program, Specially Designated Narcotics Traffickers List, Specially Designated Terrorists List, Specially Designated Global Terrorists List, or the Annex to Executive Order No. 13224, or any list of persons subject to sanctions issued by the United Nations Security Council, HM Treasury of the United Kingdom, and the European Union); (ii) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R.

(k) Neither Subscriber, nor, to the extent it has them, any of its equity holders, managers, general or limited partners, directors, affiliates or executive officers (collectively with Subscriber, the “Covered Persons”), are subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d) under the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”), except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3), in each case as indicated in the questionnaire attached as Exhibit A hereto. Subscriber has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. The acquisition of the Securities by Subscriber will not subject SPAC to any Disqualification Event.

(l) Subscriber acknowledges its obligations under applicable securities laws with respect to the treatment of non-public information relating to SPAC.

(m) Subscriber has sufficient immediately available funds to pay the Purchase Price for the Backstop Shares.

(n) Subscriber acknowledges that (i) SPAC may have, and later may come into possession of, information regarding SPAC that is not known to Subscriber and that may be material to a decision to enter into this transaction to purchase the Securities (“Excluded Information”), (ii) Subscriber has determined to enter into the this transaction to purchase the Securities notwithstanding its lack of knowledge of the Excluded Information, and (iii) SPAC shall have no liability to Subscriber, and Subscriber hereby to the extent permitted by law waive and releases any claims it may have against SPAC, with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information.

(o) If Subscriber is an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of ERISA, a plan, an individual retirement account or other arrangement that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or an employee benefit plan that is a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA), a non-U.S. plan (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) or other plan that is not subject to the foregoing but may be subject to provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code, or an entity whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement (each, a “Plan”) subject to the fiduciary or prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, Subscriber represents and warrants that (i) neither SPAC, nor any of its respective affiliates has acted as the Plan’s fiduciary, or has been relied on for advice, with respect to its decision to acquire and hold the Securities, and none of SPAC or any of its respective affiliates shall at any time be relied upon as the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision to acquire, continue to hold or transfer the Securities and (ii) the acquisition and holding of the Securities.

(p) Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that it will not, and will cause each person acting at Subscriber’s direction or pursuant to any understanding with Subscriber to not, directly or indirectly (i) offer, sell, pledge, contract to sell or sell any option to purchase, or engage in hedging activities or execute any “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, in each case that result in Subscriber having a net short cash position in respect of the Securities until the Closing (or such earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms), (ii) redeem any ordinary shares of SPAC owned by such parties in connection with the redemption rights afforded to shareholders of SPAC in connection with the completion of a Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (y) nothing herein shall prohibit other entities under common management with Subscriber that have no knowledge of this Agreement or of Subscriber’s participation in this offering or the Transaction (including Subscriber’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from entering into any “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, and (z) in the case of a Subscriber that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Subscriber’s assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Subscriber’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.

6. Registration Rights.

(a) In the event that the Securities are not registered in connection with the consummation of the applicable Transaction, SPAC agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days after the Closing Date, it will file or cause to be filed, with the SEC (at the its sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Securities (the “Registration Statement”), and it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof. In connection with the foregoing, Subscriber shall be required to execute a customary 180-day lock-up agreement restricting the Subscriber’s ability to transfer the Securities during such lock up period. SPAC agrees to, except for such times as SPAC is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement, or another shelf registration statement that includes the Securities to be sold pursuant to this Agreement, to remain effective until the earliest of (i) the second anniversary of the Closing, (ii) the date on which Subscriber ceases to hold any of the Securities issued pursuant to this Agreement or (iii) the first date on which Subscriber is able to sell all of its the Securities issued pursuant to this Agreement (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) without the public information, volume or manner of sale limitations of such rule (such date, the “End Date”).

(b) Prior to the End Date, SPAC will use commercially reasonable efforts to qualify the Securities for listing on NASDAQ. Subscriber agrees to disclose its ownership to SPAC upon request to assist it in making the determination with respect to Rule 144 described in clause (iii) of Section 6(a). SPAC may amend the Registration Statement so as to convert the Registration Statement to a Registration Statement on Form F-3 at such time after SPAC becomes eligible to use such Form F-3. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that SPAC may suspend the use of any such registration statement if it determines that in order for such registration statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act. SPAC’s obligations to include the Securities issued pursuant to this Agreement for resale in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to SPAC such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of

 

8


SPAC held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Securities, which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings, as shall be reasonably requested by SPAC to effect the registration of such Securities, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as SPAC may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, SPAC shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if (i) the use of the Registration Statement would require the inclusion of financial statements that are unavailable for reasons beyond SPAC’s control, (ii) SPAC determines that in order for the Registration Statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act or if (iii) such filing or use could materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of SPAC or its subsidiaries or would require additional disclosure by SPAC in the Registration Statement of material information that SPAC has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that SPAC may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two (2) occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than ninety (90) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve- (12) month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from SPAC of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Securities under the Registration Statement until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by SPAC that it may resume such offers and sales; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that SPAC shall not include any material non-public information in any such written notice. If so directed by SPAC, Subscriber will deliver to SPAC or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Securities in Subscriber’s possession.

(d) Indemnification.

(i) SPAC agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, Subscriber, its directors, and officers, employees, and agents, and each person who controls Subscriber (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) from and against any and all out-of-pocket losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, any reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to SPAC by or on behalf of Subscriber expressly for use therein.

(ii) Subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless SPAC, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls SPAC (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and each successor and parent company of SPAC against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus or

 

9


preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of Subscriber expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Securities purchased pursuant to this Agreement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

7. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of: (a) the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement; (b) such date and time as a Transaction Agreement entered into with respect to a Transaction with a Target Company is terminated in accordance with its terms; or (c) written notice by either party to the other party to terminate this Agreement if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated on or prior to April 14, 2023; provided that (y) nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach and (z) the provisions of Sections 7 through 9 of this Agreement will survive any termination of this Agreement and continue indefinitely.

8. Trust Account Waiver. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Subscriber acknowledges that it has read the final prospectus of SPAC, dated as of October 12, 2021, and filed with the SEC on October 13, 2021 (File No. 333-259253), including that certain Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated October 12, 2021, by and between SPAC and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, and understands that SPAC has established the trust account described therein (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of SPAC’s public shareholders and that disbursements from the Trust Account are available only in the limited circumstances set forth therein. Subscriber further acknowledges and agrees that SPAC’s sole assets consist of the cash proceeds of its initial public offering of units of SPAC (the “IPO”) and the overallotment shares acquired by SPAC’s underwriters and from certain private placements of its securities occurring simultaneously with the IPO, and that substantially all of these proceeds have been deposited in the Trust Account for the benefit of SPAC’s public shareholders. Accordingly, for and in consideration of SPAC entering into this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Subscriber hereby waives any past, present or future claim of any kind arising out of this Agreement against, and any right to access, the Trust Account, any trustee of the Trust Account, SPAC, Gesher I Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”), and any of their affiliates, to collect from the Trust Account any monies that may be owed to them by SPAC or any of its affiliates for any reason whatsoever, and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account, any trustee of the Trust Account, SPAC, Sponsor, or any of their affiliates at any time for any reason whatsoever, including for such party’s material breach of any of its covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement, which material breach constitutes, or is a consequence of, a purposeful act or failure to act by such party with the knowledge that the taking of such act or failure to take such act would cause a material breach of this Agreement. This Section 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

9. Miscellaneous.

(a) In the event that the applicable Transaction is structured where an entity affiliated with a Target Company will become the successor public company to SPAC in the Transaction or will become a parent company of SPAC whose securities are issued in consideration of or in exchange for SPAC’s securities (the “Successor”), then SPAC may transfer and assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Successor without the prior written consent of Subscriber, and any references in

 

10


this Subscription Agreement to the Securities will include any ordinary shares or warrants of the Successor that are issued in consideration of or exchange for the Securities. Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations that may accrue to Subscriber hereunder (other than the Securities acquired hereunder, subject to applicable securities laws) may be transferred or assigned by Subscriber without the prior written consent of SPAC, and any purported transfer or assignment without such consent shall be null and void ab initio; provided that Subscriber may assign and transfer its rights under this Agreement without prior consent of SPAC to any successor in interest of Subscriber or to any purchaser of all or substantially all of the equity or assets of Subscriber provided that such person agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and perform in a timely manner Subscriber’s obligations hereunder.

(b) SPAC may request from Subscriber such additional information as SPAC may reasonably deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of Subscriber to acquire the Securities, and Subscriber shall provide such information to SPAC promptly upon such request, it being understood by Subscriber that SPAC may without any liability hereunder reject Subscriber’s subscription prior to the Closing Date in the event Subscriber fails to provide such additional information requested by SPAC to evaluate Subscriber’s eligibility or SPAC determines that Subscriber is not eligible.

(c) Subscriber acknowledges that SPAC and others will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties of Subscriber contained in this Agreement, including Exhibit A, as if they were made directly to them. Prior to the Closing, Subscriber agrees to promptly notify SPAC if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties set forth herein are no longer accurate such that the conditions set forth in Sections 3(b)(ii) and 3(b)(iii) would not be satisfied as of the Closing. Subscriber agrees that the purchase by Subscriber of the Securities from SPAC will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties herein (as modified by any such notice) by Subscriber as of the time of such purchase.

(d) All the agreements, representations, and warranties made by each party hereto in this Agreement shall survive the Closing.

(e) This Agreement may not be amended, modified, waived or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such modification, waiver, or termination is sought. No failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or other exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder.

(f) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof (other than any confidentiality agreement entered into by SPAC and Subscriber in connection with this offering).

(g) This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

(h) If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

 

11

All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.

(j) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur 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 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.

Additionally, SPAC is authorized to produce this Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby. Subscriber shall not issue any press release or make any other similar public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of SPAC (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(l) This Agreement and all actions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles relating to conflict of laws that would result in the applicable of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware, unless the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, in which case, in any federal court within the State of Delaware, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in such courts, (ii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such court, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court, and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

Exhibit A

Accredited Investor Questionnaire

Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Exhibit A shall have the meanings given in the Agreement to which this Exhibit A is attached.

The undersigned represents and warrants that the undersigned is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D (an “Accredited Investor”) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for one or more of the reasons specified below (please check all boxes that apply):

The term “net worth” means the excess of total assets over total liabilities (including personal and real property, but excluding the estimated fair market value of Subscriber’s primary home). For the purposes of calculating joint net worth with the person’s spouse or spousal equivalent, joint net worth can be the aggregate net worth of Subscriber and spouse or spousal equivalent; assets need not be held jointly to be included in the calculation. There is no requirement that securities be purchased jointly. A spousal equivalent means a cohabitant occupying a relationship generally equivalent to a spouse.

                            (ii) A natural person who had an individual income in excess of $200,000, or joint income with Subscriber’s spouse or spousal equivalent in excess of $300,000, in each of the two most recent years and reasonably expects to reach the same income level in the current year;
  

In determining individual “income,” Subscriber should add to Subscriber’s individual taxable adjusted gross income (exclusive of any spousal or spousal equivalent income) any amounts attributable to tax exempt income received, losses claimed as a limited partner in any limited partnership, deductions claimed for depletion, contributions to an IRA or Keogh retirement plan, alimony payments, and any amount by which income from long-term capital gains has been reduced in arriving at adjusted gross income.

                            (iii) A director or executive officer of SPAC;
                            (iv) A natural person holding in good standing with one or more professional certifications or designations or other credentials from an accredited educational institution that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has designated as qualifying an individual for accredited investor status;
  

The SEC has designated the General Securities Representative license (Series 7), the Private Securities Offering Representative license (Series 82) and the Licensed Investment Adviser Representative (Series 65) as the initial certifications that qualify for accredited investor status.

                            (v) A natural person who is a “knowledgeable employee” as defined in Rule 3c-5(a)(4) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”), of SPAC of the securities being offered or sold where SPAC would be an investment company, as defined in Section 3 of the Investment Company Act, but for the exclusion provided by either Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act;

                            (xiv) An employee benefit plan within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, if the investment decision is made by a plan fiduciary, as defined in Section 3(21) of such act, which is either a bank, savings and loan association, insurance company, or registered investment adviser, or if the employee benefit plan has total assets in excess of $5,000,000 or, if a self-directed plan, with investment decisions made solely by persons that are accredited investors;

This PIPE Subscription Agreement (this “Agreement”) is being entered into as of May 31, 2022, by and among Gesher I Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“SPAC”), Freightos Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (the “Issuer”), and the undersigned subscriber (“Subscriber”), in connection with that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among SPAC, the Issuer, Freightos Merger Sub I, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (“Merger Sub I”), and Freightos Merger Sub II, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (“Merger Sub II”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub I will merge with and into SPAC, with SPAC being the surviving entity as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the “First Merger”), and immediately thereafter, SPAC will merge with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II being the surviving entity as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (together with the First Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transaction”). In connection with the Transaction, the Issuer is seeking commitments from accredited investors to purchase, contingent upon, and substantially concurrently with, the closing of the Transaction (the “Transaction Closing”), that number of ordinary shares of the Issuer, par value $0.00001 per share, set forth on the signature page hereto (the “PIPE Shares”) for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Per Share Purchase Price” and the aggregate purchase price for the PIPE Shares set forth on the signature page hereto, the “Purchase Price”). Subscriber also holds, as of the date of this Agreement, 900,090 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock of the Issuer, and Subscriber’s affiliate, Qatar Airways Group Q.C.S.C., holds 27,000 ordinary shares of the Issuer, which shares will be converted into ordinary shares of the Issuer (collectively, the “Recapitalization Shares”) in connection with the Recapitalization (as defined in the Merger Agreement) at the exchange ratio set forth in Section 6 (Conversion of Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares) of the Issuer’s Articles of Association.

In consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby mutually acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, SPAC, the Issuer and Subscriber agree as follows:

If the Transaction Closing should not occur for any reason on the scheduled day, the Issuer shall immediately return to Subscriber pursuant to Subscriber’s wire transfer instructions provided at such time all such funds held in constructive trust.

(c) As soon as practicable following the Closing, the Issuer shall deliver (or cause the delivery of) to Subscriber evidence of issuance of the PIPE Shares in book-entry form, which PIPE Shares will contain a notation, and each certificate (if any) and/or the register of members kept in accordance with the Companies Act (as revised) of the Cayman Islands evidencing the PIPE Shares shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend, in substantially the following form:

Part 515; (iii) owned fifty percent or more, directly or indirectly, by a person included on any Sanctions-related list of blocked or designated parties, as described in clauses (a) or (b) above; (iv) a person acting in his or her official capacity as a director, officer, employee, or agent of a person included on any Sanctions-related list of blocked or designated parties, as described in clauses (a) or (b) above; (v) a non-U.S. shell bank or providing banking services indirectly to a non-U.S. shell bank; or (vi) organized, incorporated, established, located, resident or born in, or a citizen, national, or the government, including any political subdivision, agency, or instrumentality thereof, of, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, the Crimea region of Ukraine, the so-called Luhansk People’s Republic and Donetsk People’s Republic, or any other country or

territory embargoed or subject to substantial trade restrictions by the United States. Subscriber agrees to provide law enforcement agencies, if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law, provided that Subscriber is permitted to do so under applicable law. If Subscriber is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), Subscriber maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. To the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List. To the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by Subscriber and used to purchase the PIPE Shares were legally derived. For purposes of this Section, a “person” means any individual, firm, corporation, company, partnership, limited liability company, incorporated or unincorporated association, trust, estate, joint venture, joint stock company, governmental authority or instrumentality or other entity of any kind. “Sanctions” means those trade, economic and financial sanctions laws, regulations, embargoes, and restrictive measures (in each case having the force of law) administered, enacted or enforced from time to time by (1) the United States (including the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S Department of State and the U.S. Department of Commerce), (2) the European Union and enforced by its member states, (3) the United Nations Security Council, (4) Her Majesty’s Treasury of the United Kingdom and (5) any other similar economic sanctions administered by the government of any nation, province, state, city or locality or other political subdivision thereof.

(l) Neither Subscriber, nor, to the extent it has them, any of its equity holders, managers, general or limited partners, directors, affiliates or executive officers (collectively with Subscriber, the “Covered Persons”), are subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d) under the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”), except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3), in each case as indicated in the questionnaire attached as Exhibit A hereto. Subscriber has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. The acquisition of the PIPE Shares by Subscriber will not subject the Issuer to any Disqualification Event.

(m) Reserved.

(n) Subscriber has sufficient immediately available funds to pay the Purchase Price for the PIPE Shares.

(o) Subscriber acknowledges that (i) the Issuer and SPAC may have, and later may come into possession of, information regarding the Issuer and SPAC that is not known to Subscriber and that may be material to a decision to enter into this transaction to purchase the PIPE Shares (“Excluded Information”), (ii) Subscriber has determined to enter into the this transaction to purchase the PIPE Shares notwithstanding its lack of knowledge of the Excluded Information, and (iii) neither the Issuer nor SPAC shall have any liability to Subscriber, and Subscriber hereby, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waives and releases any claims it may have against the Issuer and SPAC, with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information.

(p) If Subscriber is an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of ERISA, a plan, an individual retirement account or other arrangement that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or an employee benefit plan that is a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA), a non-U.S. plan (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) or other plan that is not subject to the foregoing but may be subject to provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code, or an entity whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or

 

7


arrangement (each, a “Plan”) subject to the fiduciary or prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, Subscriber represents and warrants that neither the Issuer or SPAC nor any of their respective affiliates has acted as the Plan’s fiduciary, or has been relied on for advice, with respect to its decision to acquire and hold the PIPE Shares, and none of the Issuer, SPAC or any of their respective affiliates shall at any time be relied upon as the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision to acquire, continue to hold or transfer the PIPE Shares.

(q) Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that it will not, and will cause each person acting at Subscriber’s direction or pursuant to any understanding with Subscriber to not, directly or indirectly (i) offer, sell, pledge, contract to sell or sell any option to purchase, or engage in hedging activities or execute any “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, in each case that result in Subscriber having a net short cash position in respect of the ordinary shares of SPAC until the Closing (or such earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms), or (ii) redeem any ordinary shares of SPAC owned by such parties in connection with the redemption rights afforded to shareholders of SPAC in connection with the completion of a Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (y) nothing herein shall prohibit other entities under common management with Subscriber that have no knowledge of this Agreement or of Subscriber’s participation in this offering or the Transaction (including Subscriber’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from entering into any “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, and (z) in the case of a Subscriber that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of Subscriber’s assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of Subscriber’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the PIPE Shares covered by this Agreement.

6. SPAC Representations and Warranties. SPAC represents and warrants to Subscriber that:

(a) SPAC is an exempted company duly incorporated, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands and has the corporate power and authority to own, lease, and operate its properties and conduct its business as presently conducted and to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance by SPAC of this Agreement are within the powers of SPAC, have been duly authorized and will not constitute or result in a breach or default under or conflict with any federal or state law, statute, rule or regulation applicable to SPAC, any order, ruling or regulation of any court or other tribunal or of any governmental commission or agency, or any agreement or other undertaking, to which SPAC is a party or by which SPAC is bound. The signature on this Agreement is genuine, and the signatory has been duly authorized to execute the same, and this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of SPAC, enforceable against SPAC in accordance with its terms.

(c) As of their respective filing dates, each form, report, statement, schedule, prospectus, proxy, registration statement and other documents filed by SPAC with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) prior to the date of this Agreement (the “SEC Documents”) complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to the SEC Documents and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents. None of the SEC Documents filed under the Exchange Act, when filed or, if amended prior to the date hereof, as of the date of such amendment with respect to those disclosures that are amended, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that

 

8


SPAC makes no such representation or warranty with respect to the proxy statement of SPAC to be filed in connection with the approval of the Merger Agreement by the shareholders of SPAC or any other information relating to the Issuer or any of its affiliates included in any SEC Document or filed as an exhibit thereto. To the knowledge of SPAC, there are no material outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters from the SEC staff with respect to any of the SEC Documents.

7. Registration Rights.

(a) In the event that the PIPE Shares and the Recapitalization Shares are not registered in connection with the consummation of the Transaction, the Issuer agrees that, no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the Closing Date, it shall file or cause to be filed, with the SEC (at the sole cost and expense of the Issuer) a registration statement on Form F-1 registering the resale of all of the PIPE Shares and the Recapitalization Shares (the “Registration Statement”), and it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof. In connection with the foregoing, Subscriber shall be required to execute a customary 180-day lock-up agreement restricting Subscriber’s ability to transfer the PIPE Shares during such lock up period subject to the terms and conditions of such lock-up agreement. The Issuer agrees to, except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement, or another shelf registration statement that includes the PIPE Shares and the Recapitalization Shares to be sold pursuant to this Agreement, to remain effective continuously until the earliest of (i) the second anniversary of the Closing, (ii) the date on which Subscriber ceases to hold any of the PIPE Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement and any Recapitalization Shares or (iii) the first date on which Subscriber is able to sell all of its the PIPE Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement (or shares received in exchange therefor) and all of its Recapitalization Shares under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) (such date, the “End Date”). The Issuer shall keep the Subscriber reasonably informed as to the status of the process to file and have declared effective the Registration Statement and the listing process related thereto described in Section 7(b); provided that at no time shall the Issuer provide Subscriber with material non-public information regarding the Issuer or the SPAC.

(b) Prior to the End Date, the Issuer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to qualify the PIPE Shares and the Recapitalization Shares for listing on Nasdaq. Subscriber agrees to disclose its ownership to the Issuer upon request to assist it in making the determination with respect to Rule 144 described in clause (iii) of Section 7(a). The Issuer may amend the Registration Statement so as to convert the Registration Statement to a Registration Statement on Form F-3 at such time after the Issuer becomes eligible to use such Form F-3. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Issuer may suspend the use of any such registration statement if it determines that, in order for such registration statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act. The Issuer’s obligations to include the PIPE Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement and the Recapitalization Shares for resale in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Issuer such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Issuer held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition under the Registration Statement of the PIPE Shares and the Recapitalization Shares, which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings, as shall be reasonably requested by the Issuer to effect the registration of such PIPE Shares and Recapitalization Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Issuer may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations.

 

9


(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Issuer shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if (i) the use of the Registration Statement would require the inclusion of financial statements that are unavailable for reasons beyond the Issuer’s control, (ii) the Issuer determines that in order for the Registration Statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act or if (iii) such filing or use could materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Issuer or its subsidiaries or would require additional disclosure by the Issuer in the Registration Statement of material information that the Issuer has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Issuer may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two (2) occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than ninety (90) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve (12) month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Issuer of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the PIPE Shares under the Registration Statement until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Issuer that it may resume such offers and sales; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Issuer shall not include any material non-public information in any such written notice. If so directed by the Issuer, Subscriber will deliver to the Issuer or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the PIPE Shares in Subscriber’s possession; provided that the destruction requirement shall not apply (i) to the extent Subscriber is required to retain a copy (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to the extent of copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

(d) Indemnification.

(i) The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, Subscriber, its directors, and officers, employees, and agents, and each person who controls Subscriber (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) from and against any and all out-of-pocket losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, any reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and any violation or alleged violation by the Issuer of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or applicable state securities laws, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Issuer by or on behalf of Subscriber expressly for use therein,. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Issuer’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any actions or claims if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Issuer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

 

10


(ii) Subscriber agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, SPAC, and each of their respective directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Issuer or SPAC (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and each successor, parent company and subsidiary of the Issuer and SPAC against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of Subscriber expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the PIPE Shares purchased pursuant to this Agreement giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Subscriber’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any actions or claims if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(e) Reports Under the Exchange Act. With a view to making available to Subscriber the benefits of Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), and any other rule or regulation that may at any time permit Subscriber to sell all or any portion of the PIPE Shares and the Recapitalization Shares without registration or pursuant to a registration statement, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

(i) Make and keep available adequate current public information within the meaning of Rule 144 at all times while Subscriber owns the PIPE Shares or the Recapitalization Shares, after the date the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC;

(ii) File with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Issuer under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Issuer remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144;

(iii) Furnish to Subscriber so long as Subscriber owns the PIPE Shares or the Recapitalization Shares, upon reasonable request (i) a written statement that the Issuer has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and (ii) such other information as may be reasonably requested by Subscriber to may permit the Subscriber to resell any or all of the PIPE Shares and the Recapitalization Shares without registration.

(f) For as long as the Subscriber holds the PIPE Shares or Recapitalization Shares, Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Issuer’s transfer agent to remove any restrictive legend when such shares are sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or the Registration Statement within two (2) Business Days of request by the Subscriber. In connection therewith, (A) Subscriber shall provide customary representation letters reasonably acceptable to the Issuer and the Issuer’s transfer agent, (B) if required by the Issuer’s transfer agent, the Issuer will promptly cause an opinion of counsel to be delivered to its transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions reasonably requested by the Issuer in order to render such opinion and/or required by the transfer agent that authorize and direct the transfer agent to issue such shares without any such legend and (C) the Issuer shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent, legal counsel and any clearinghouse fees associated with such issuance.

8. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earliest to occur of: (a) the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Agreement; (b) such date and time as the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; or (c) written notice by either party to the other party to terminate this Agreement if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated on or prior to April 14, 2023; provided that (y) nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any fraud or willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such fraud or breach and (z) the provisions of Sections 8 through 10 of this Agreement will survive any termination of this Agreement and continue indefinitely.

9. Trust Account Waiver. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Subscriber acknowledges that it has read the final prospectus of SPAC, dated as of October 12, 2021, and filed with the SEC on October 13, 2021 (File No. 333-259253), including that certain Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated October 12, 2021, by and between SPAC and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, and understands that SPAC has established the trust account described therein (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of SPAC’s public shareholders and that disbursements from the Trust Account are available only in the limited circumstances set forth therein. Subscriber further acknowledges and agrees that SPAC’s sole assets consist of the cash proceeds of its initial public offering of units of SPAC (the “IPO”) and the overallotment shares acquired by SPAC’s underwriters and from certain private placements of its securities occurring simultaneously with the IPO, and that substantially all of these proceeds have been deposited in the Trust Account for the benefit of SPAC’s public shareholders. Accordingly, for and in consideration of SPAC entering into this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Subscriber hereby waives any past, present or future claim of any kind arising out of this Agreement against, and any right to access, the Trust Account, any trustee of the Trust Account, SPAC, Gesher I Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sponsor”), the Issuer and any of their affiliates, to collect from the Trust Account or Issuer any monies that may be owed to them by SPAC, the Issuer or any of their affiliates for any reason whatsoever, and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account, any trustee of the Trust Account, SPAC, Sponsor, the Issuer or any of their affiliates at any time for any reason whatsoever, including for such party’s material breach of any of its covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement, which material breach constitutes, or is a consequence of, a purposeful act or failure to act by such party with the knowledge that the taking of such act or failure to take such act would cause a material breach of this Agreement. This Section 9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

10. Miscellaneous.

(a) Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations that may accrue to Subscriber hereunder may be transferred or assigned by Subscriber without the prior written consent of the Issuer and SPAC, and any purported transfer or assignment without such consent shall be null and void ab initio; except that Subscriber may so assign in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of its assets or in connection with a merger or sale of control which amounts to an assignment under applicable law.

(b) Subscriber acknowledges its obligations under applicable securities laws with respect to the treatment of non-public information relating to SPAC and the Issuer. Subscriber acknowledges that Issuer and SPAC will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties of Subscriber contained in this Agreement, including Exhibit A, as if they were made directly to them. The Issuer may request from Subscriber such additional information as the Issuer may reasonably deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of Subscriber to acquire the PIPE Shares, and Subscriber shall provide such information to the Issuer promptly upon such request, it being understood by Subscriber that the Issuer may without any liability hereunder reject Subscriber’s subscription prior to the Closing Date in the event Subscriber fails to provide such additional information requested by the Issuer to evaluate Subscriber’s eligibility or the Issuer reasonably determines that Subscriber is not eligible.

 

12


(c) Prior to the Closing, Subscriber agrees to promptly notify the Issuer and SPAC if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties set forth herein are no longer accurate such that the conditions set forth in Sections 3(b)(ii) and 3(b)(iii) would not be satisfied as of the Closing. Subscriber agrees that the purchase by Subscriber of the PIPE Shares from the Issuer will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties herein (as modified by any such notice) by Subscriber as of the time of such purchase.

(d) All the agreements, representations, and warranties made by each party hereto in this Agreement shall survive the Closing.

(e) This Agreement may not be amended, modified, waived or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such modification, waiver, or termination is sought. No failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or other exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder.

(f) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof (other than any confidentiality agreement entered into by SPAC and Subscriber in connection with this offering).

(g) This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

(h) If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

(i) This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this Agreement shall include images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including, “pdf”, “tif” or “jpg”) and other electronic signatures (including, for example, DocuSign and AdobeSign). The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the Delaware Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and any other applicable law. Minor variations in the form of the signature page, including footers from earlier versions of this Agreement or any such other document, shall be disregarded in determining the party’s intent or the effectiveness of such signature.

 

13


(j) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur 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 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.

(k) Subscriber hereby consents to the publication and disclosure in any press release issued by the Issuer or SPAC or in any Form 8-K, Form 6-K or other filing filed by the Issuer or SPAC with the SEC in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the filing of any related documentation with the SEC (and, as and to the extent otherwise required by the federal securities laws or the SEC or any other securities authorities, any other documents or communications provided by the Issuer or SPAC to any governmental authority or to security holders of the Issuer or SPAC) of Subscriber’s identity and beneficial ownership of the PIPE Shares and the nature of Subscriber’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under and relating to this Agreement and, if deemed appropriate by the Issuer or SPAC, as applicable, a copy of this Agreement or the form hereof. Additionally, each of the Issuer and SPAC is authorized to produce this Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby. Subscriber shall not issue any press release or make any other similar public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the Issuer and SPAC (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(l) This Agreement and all actions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles relating to conflict of laws that would result in the applicable of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware, unless the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, in which case, in any federal court within the State of Delaware, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in such courts, (ii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such court, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court, and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. Each party agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each party irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, on behalf of itself, or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such party at the applicable address set forth in Section 10(m). Nothing in this Section 10(l) shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION, DISPUTE, CLAIM, LEGAL ACTION, OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Exhibit A

Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Exhibit A shall have the meanings given in the Agreement to which this Exhibit A is attached.

   The term “net worth” means the excess of total assets over total liabilities (including personal and real property, but excluding the estimated fair market value of Subscriber’s primary home). For the purposes of calculating joint net worth with the person’s spouse or spousal equivalent, joint net worth can be the aggregate net worth of Subscriber and spouse or spousal equivalent; assets need not be held jointly to be included in the calculation. There is no requirement that securities be purchased jointly. A spousal equivalent means a cohabitant occupying a relationship generally equivalent to a spouse.
                            (ii) A natural person who had an individual income in excess of $200,000, or joint income with Subscriber’s spouse or spousal equivalent in excess of $300,000, in each of the two most recent years and reasonably expects to reach the same income level in the current year;
   In determining individual “income,” Subscriber should add to Subscriber’s individual taxable adjusted gross income (exclusive of any spousal or spousal equivalent income) any amounts attributable to tax exempt income received, losses claimed as a limited partner in any limited partnership, deductions claimed for depletion, contributions to an IRA or Keogh retirement plan, alimony payments, and any amount by which income from long-term capital gains has been reduced in arriving at adjusted gross income.
                            (iii) A director or executive officer of the Issuer;
                            (iv) A natural person holding in good standing with one or more professional certifications or designations or other credentials from an accredited educational institution that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has designated as qualifying an individual for accredited investor status;
   The SEC has designated the General Securities Representative license (Series 7), the Private Securities Offering Representative license (Series 82) and the Licensed Investment Adviser Representative (Series 65) as the initial certifications that qualify for accredited investor status.
                            (v) A natural person who is a “knowledgeable employee” (as defined in Rule 3c-5(a)(4) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”)), of the Issuer of the securities being offered or sold where the Issuer would be an investment company (as defined in Section 3 of the Investment Company Act, but for the exclusion provided by either Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act);

                            (xiv) An employee benefit plan within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, if the investment decision is made by a plan fiduciary, as defined in Section 3(21) of such act, which is either a bank, savings and loan association, insurance company, or registered investment adviser, or if the employee benefit plan has total assets in excess of $5,000,000 or, if a self-directed plan, with investment decisions made solely by persons that are accredited investors;

During the term of this Agreement, the Company will not register or otherwise recognize the transfer (book-entry or otherwise) of any Shares or any certificate or uncertificated interest representing any of Holder’s Shares, except as permitted by, and in accordance with, this Section 3(b).

Holder further agrees that it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company and SPAC to effect the Mergers, the Transaction, the Business Combination Agreement, the ancillary agreements contemplated thereby and the provisions of this Agreement. During the Voting Period, Holder shall not authorize or permit any of its Representatives to, directly or indirectly, take any action that the Company is prohibited from taking pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (unless SPAC shall have consented thereto).

(f) Publicity. Holder shall not issue any press release or otherwise make any public statements with respect to the Transaction or the transactions contemplated herein without the prior written approval of SPAC and the Company.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of this Section 5(a) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. This Agreement and all obligations of Holder are personal to Holder and may not be assigned, transferred or delegated by Holder at any time without the prior written consent of the Company and SPAC, and any purported assignment, transfer or delegation without such consent shall be null and void ab initio. Each of the Company and SPAC may freely assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any successor entity (whether by merger, consolidation, equity sale, asset sale or otherwise) without obtaining the consent or approval of Holder.

(c) Third Parties.

(d) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof. All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any state or federal court located in the State of Delaware (or in any appellate courts thereof) (the “Specified Courts”). Each party hereto hereby (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Specified Court for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto and (ii) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by any Specified Court. Each party agrees that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other action or proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, on behalf of itself, or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such party at the applicable address set forth or referred to in Section 5(g). Nothing in this Section 5(d) shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

(e) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO (i) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THAT FOREGOING WAIVER AND (ii) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 5(e).

The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. Consequently, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

(h) Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Company, SPAC and the Holder, or, in the case of a waiver, with the written consent of the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision.

(i) Severability. In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified or deleted, as to the jurisdiction involved, only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity,

 

7


legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby nor shall the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision be affected thereby in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

(j) Specific Performance. Holder acknowledges that its obligations under this Agreement are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by Holder, money damages will be inadequate and SPAC and the Company will not have an adequate remedy at law, and agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by Holder in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, SPAC and the Company shall each be entitled to an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement by Holder and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

(k) Expenses. Each party shall be responsible for its own fees and expenses (including the fees and expenses of investment bankers, accountants and counsel) in connection with the entering into of this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that in the event of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the non-prevailing party in any such Action will pay its own expenses and the reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, reasonably incurred by the prevailing party.

(l) No Partnership, Agency or Joint Venture. This Agreement is intended to create a contractual relationship among Holder, SPAC and the Company, and is not intended to create, and does not create, any agency, partnership, joint venture or any like relationship among the parties hereto or among any other Company Shareholders entering into voting agreements with SPAC or the Company. Holder is not affiliated with any other holder of securities of the Company entering into a voting agreement with SPAC or the Company in connection with the Business Combination Agreement and has acted independently regarding its decision to enter into this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in SPAC or the Company any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any Shares.

(m) Further Assurances. From time to time, at another party’s request and without further consideration, each party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(n) Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Business Combination Agreement to the extent referred to herein) constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties is expressly canceled; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties under the Business Combination Agreement or any ancillary agreement contemplated thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of the Company or any of the obligations of Holder under any other agreement between Holder and the Company or any certificate or instrument executed by Holder in favor of the Company, and nothing in any other agreement, certificate or instrument shall limit any of the rights or remedies of the Company or any of the obligations of Holder under this Agreement.

(o) Counterparts; Facsimile. This Agreement may also be executed and delivered by facsimile or electronic signature or by email in portable document format in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

ARTICLE II

REGISTRATIONS

2.1 Shelf Registration.

2.1.1 Filing. The Company shall file, as soon as practicable, but in any event within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Deadline”), a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form F-1 (the “Form F-1 Shelf”) or, if the Company is eligible to use a Registration Statement on Form F-3, a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form F-3 (the “Form F-3 Shelf”), in each case, covering the resale of all the Registrable Securities (determined as of two business days prior to such filing) on a delayed or continuous basis. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration to be declared effective as soon as possible after filing, but in no event later than the

 

4


earlier of (i) sixty (60) days following the Filing Deadline and (ii) three (3) business days after the Commission notifies the Company that it will not review such Shelf Registration, if applicable (the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, that, if such Shelf Registration filed pursuant to this Section 2.1.1 is reviewed by, and the Company receives comments from, the Commission with respect to such Shelf Registration, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to ninety (90) days following the Filing Deadline. Such Shelf Registration shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. The Company shall maintain a Shelf Registration in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep a Shelf Registration continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. In the event the Company files a Form F-1 Shelf, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form F-1 Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration) to a Form F-3 Shelf as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form F-3.

2.1.2 Subsequent Shelf Registration. If any Shelf Registration ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities are still outstanding, the Company shall, subject to Section 3.4, use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly cause such Shelf Registration to again become effective under the Securities Act (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly amend such Shelf Registration in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration or file an additional registration statement as a Shelf Registration (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”) registering the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two business days prior to such filing), and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) if the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) at the most recent applicable eligibility determination date) and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on Form F-3 to the extent that the Company is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on another appropriate form.

2.1.3 Requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns. At any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf Registration is on file with the Commission, one or more of the Holders (such Holder or Holders being in such case, “Demanding Holders”) may request to sell all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf Registration (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided, however, that the Company shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering shall include Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Demanding Holders with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $40,000,000 (the “Minimum Takedown Threshold”). All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Demanding Holders in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Subject to Section 2.4.4, the Company shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks), subject to the initial Demanding Holders’ prior approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Holders may demand not more than two (2) Underwritten Shelf Takedowns in any twelve (12) month period.

2.1.4 Reduction of Underwritten Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, in good faith, advises the Company, the Demanding Holders and the Holders requesting piggy back rights pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown (the “Requesting Holders”) (if any) that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders and the Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other Company Ordinary Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell and all other Company Ordinary Shares or other equity securities, if any, that have been requested to be sold in such Underwritten Offering pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by any other stockholders, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering: (i) first the Registrable Securities of the Demanding Holders (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Demanding Holders have requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the Company Ordinary Shares or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) the Registrable Securities of the Requesting Holders (pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Requesting Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Requesting Holders have requested be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (iv) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), and (iii), the Company Ordinary Shares or other securities for the account of other persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

2.1.5 Withdrawal. Prior to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall have the right to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification (a “Withdrawal Notice”) to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Shelf Takedown; provided that the other Holders may elect to have the Company continue an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if the Minimum Takedown Threshold would still be satisfied by the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown by the other Holders. If withdrawn, a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown shall constitute a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown for purposes of Section 2.1.3, unless the Demanding Holders reimburse the Company for all Registration Expenses with respect to such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Following the receipt of any Withdrawal Notice, the Company shall promptly forward such Withdrawal Notice to any other Holders that had elected to participate in such Shelf Takedown.

2.2 Piggyback Registration.

2.2.1 Piggyback Rights. Subject to Section 2.4.3, if the Company or any Holder proposes to conduct a registered offering of, or if the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Registration of, equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for its own account or for the account of stockholders of the Company (or by the Company and by the stockholders of the Company including,

 

6


without limitation, an Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to Section 2.1.3 hereof), other than a Registration Statement (or any registered offering with respect thereto) (i) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form F-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed offering to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but not less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such offering, which notice shall (A) describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to include in such registered offering such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request in writing within five (5) days after receipt of such written notice (such registered offering, a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to Section 2.2.2, the Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggyback Registration and, if applicable, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of such Piggyback Registration to permit the Registrable Securities requested by the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.2.1 to be included therein on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such registered offering and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The inclusion of any Holder’s Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Registration shall be subject to such Holder agreement to enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering.

2.2.2 Reduction of Piggyback Registration. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering that is to be a Piggyback Registration, in good faith, advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback Registration that the dollar amount or number of Company Ordinary Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (i) the Company Ordinary Shares or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, (ii) the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, and (iii) the Company Ordinary Shares or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:

(a) If the Registration or registered offering is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such Registration or registered offering: (A) first, the Company Ordinary Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Company Ordinary Shares or other securities, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the applicable written contractual piggy-back registration rights of the security holders party to that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of October 12, 2021, among Gesher I Acquisition Corp. and the investors party thereto (as may be amended from time to time, the “SPAC Registration Rights Agreement”), pro rata, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.2.1, pro rata, based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such

 

7


Underwritten Offering and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the Company Ordinary Shares or other equity securities, if any, as to which Registration or a registered offering has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;

(b) If the Registration or registered offering is pursuant to a request by persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall include in any such Registration or registered offering (A) first, the Company Ordinary Shares or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting persons or entities, other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Company Ordinary Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Company Ordinary Shares or other securities, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the applicable written contractual piggy-back registration rights of the security holders party to the SPAC Registration Rights Agreement, pro rata, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.2.1, pro rata, based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (E) fifth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D), the Company Ordinary Shares or other equity securities for the account of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and

(c) If the Registration or registered offering is pursuant to a request by Holder(s) of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, then the Company shall include in any such Registration or registered offering securities pursuant to Section 2.1.4.

2.2.3 Piggyback Registration Withdrawal. Any Holder of Registrable Securities (other than a Demanding Holder, whose right to withdrawal from an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, and related obligations, shall be governed by Section 2.1.5) shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration or, in the case of a Piggyback Registration pursuant to a Shelf Registration, the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement with respect to such Piggyback Registration used for marketing such transaction. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration (which, in no circumstance, shall include the Shelf Registration) at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (other than Section 2.1.5), the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.2.3.

2.2.4 Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights. For purposes of clarity, subject to Section 2.1.5, any Piggyback Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall not be counted as a demand for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown under Section 2.1.4 hereof.

2.3 Market Stand-off. In connection with any Underwritten Offering of equity securities of the Company (other than a Block Trade), each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees that it shall not Transfer any Company Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of the Company (other than those included in such offering pursuant to this Agreement), without the prior written consent of the Company, during the ninety (90)-day period (or such shorter time agreed to by the managing Underwriter(s)) beginning on the date of pricing of such offering, except in the event the Underwriters managing the offering otherwise agree by written consent. Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees to execute a customary lock-up agreement in favor of the Underwriters to such effect (in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as all such Holders). For the sake of clarity, no Holder shall be obligated under the provisions of this Section 2.3 to the extent such Holder no longer owns Registrable Securities.

2.4 Block Trades.

2.4.1 Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf Registration is on file with the Commission, if a Demanding Holder wishes to engage in an underwritten registered offering not involving a “roadshow,” an offer commonly known as a “block trade” (a “Block Trade”), with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, either (x) $40,000,000 or (y) all remaining Registrable Securities held by the Demanding Holder, then notwithstanding the time periods provided for in Section 2.1.3, such Demanding Holder only need to notify the Company of the Block Trade at least five (5) business days prior to the day such offering is to commence and the Company shall as expeditiously as possible use its commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such Block Trade; provided that the Demanding Holders representing a majority of the Registrable Securities wishing to engage in the Block Trade shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Company and any Underwriters prior to making such request in order to facilitate preparation of the registration statement, prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Block Trade.

2.4.2 Prior to the filing of the applicable “red herring” prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection with a Block Trade, a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating such Block Trade shall have the right to submit a Withdrawal Notice to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Block Trade. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a block trade prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.4.2.

2.4.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Section 2.2 hereof shall not apply to a Block Trade initiated by a Demanding Holder pursuant to this Agreement.

2.4.4 The Demanding Holder in a Block Trade shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such Block Trade (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks), subject to the Company’s consent, not to be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld.

COMPANY PROCEDURES

3.1 General Procedures. If the Company is required to effect the Registration of Registrable Securities, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such Registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended plan of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible:

3.1.2 prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement, and such supplements to the Prospectus, as may be reasonably requested by any Holder that holds at least five percent (5%) of the Registrable Securities registered on such Registration Statement or any Underwriter of Registrable Securities or as may be required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company or by the Securities Act or rules and regulations thereunder to keep the Registration Statement effective until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement are sold in accordance with the intended plan of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus;

3.1.3 prior to filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the Underwriters, if any, and each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration, and each such Holder’s legal counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus), and such other documents as the Underwriters and each Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration or the legal counsel for any such Holders may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holders;

3.1.4 prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as any Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may request (or provide evidence satisfactory to such Holders that the Registrable Securities are exempt from such registration or qualification) and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify or take any action to which it would be subject to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then otherwise so subject;

3.1.5 cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

 

10

3.1.7 advise each seller of such Registrable Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued;

3.1.8 at least five (5) days prior to the filing of any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document that is to be incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement or Prospectus (or such shorter period of time as may be (a) necessary in order to comply with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, as applicable or (b) advisable in order to reduce the number of days that sales are suspended pursuant to Section 3.4), furnish a copy thereof to each seller of such Registrable Securities and its counsel, including, without limitation, providing copies promptly upon receipt of any comment letters received with respect to any such Registration Statement or Prospectus;

3.1.9 notify the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes a Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4 hereof;

3.1.10 in the event of an Underwritten Offering or a Block Trade, permit a representative of the Holders, the Underwriters or other financial institutions facilitating such Underwritten Offering, Block Trade or other sale pursuant to such Registration, if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter to participate, at each such person’s own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that such representatives or Underwriters agree to confidentiality arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information;

3.1.11 obtain a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Registration which the participating Holders may rely on, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders;

3.1.12 in the event of an Underwritten Offering or a Block Trade, on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Holders, the placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the Holders, placement agent, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the participating Holders;

3.1.13 in the event of any Underwritten Offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing Underwriter of such offering;

 

11


3.1.14 make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission);

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to provide any documents or information to an Underwriter if such Underwriter has not then been named with respect to the applicable Underwritten Offering.

3.2 Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.

3.3 Requirements for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Holder does not provide the Company with its requested Holder Information, the Company may exclude such Holder’s Registrable Securities from the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus if the Company determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such information is necessary to effect the registration and such Holder continues thereafter to withhold such information. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. The exclusion of a Holder’s Registrable Securities as a result of this Section 3.3 shall not affect the registration of the other Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration.

3.4 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure.

3.4.1 Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed.

3.4.2 Subject to Section 3.4.4, if the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would (a) require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, (b) require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, or (c) in the good faith judgment

 

12


of the majority of the Directors, be detrimental to the Company and the majority of the Directors concludes as a result that it is advisable to defer such filing, initial effectiveness or continued use at such time, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under this Section 3.4.2, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities.

3.4.3 Subject to Section 3.4.4, (a) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date one hundred and twenty (120) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated Registration and provided that the Company continues to actively employ, in good faith, all commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement, or (b) if, pursuant to Section 2.1.4, Holders have requested an Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the Company and Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite such offering, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay any other registered offering pursuant to Sections 2.1.4 or 2.4.

3.4.4 The right to delay or suspend any filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 3.4.2 or a registered offering pursuant to Section 3.4.3 shall be exercised by the Company, in the aggregate, not more than three (3) times in any twelve-month period, and any such delay or suspension shall last for no more than sixty (60) days.

3.4.5 The Company shall as promptly as commercially practicable notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.4.

3.5 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Company Ordinary Shares held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), including providing any legal opinions. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

ARTICLE IV

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

4.1 Indemnification.

4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, members, managers, and directors (if applicable) and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.

 

13


4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (the “Holder Information”) and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.

4.1.3 Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in the written opinion of counsel of such indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified and indemnifying parties with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (plus local counsel) for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the written opinion of counsel of any indemnified party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

 

14


4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this Section 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

5.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts and delivered electronically (including facsimile or PDF counterparts), each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute the same instrument, but only one of which need be produced.

5.4 Governing Law; Venue. NOTWITHSTANDING THE PLACE WHERE THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE EXECUTED BY ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT (I) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AS APPLIED TO AGREEMENTS AMONG NEW YORK RESIDENTS ENTERED INTO AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS OF SUCH JURISDICTION AND (II) THE VENUE FOR ANY ACTION TAKEN WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT IN NEW YORK COUNTY IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

5.6 Amendments and Modifications. Upon the written consent of the Company and the Holders of at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities at the time in question, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of the shares of capital stock of the Company, in a manner that is materially different from the other Holders (in such capacity) shall require the consent of the Holder so affected. No course of dealing between any Holder or the Company and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the part of a Holder or the Company in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any Holder or the Company. No single or partial exercise of any rights or remedies under this Agreement by a party shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such party.

5.7 Other Registration Rights. Other than (a) that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of October 12, 2021 by and among SPAC and the parties listed as investors on the signature page thereon, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement dated on even date herewith, (b) that certain PIPE Subscription Agreement, dated as of [•], by and between the Company and Alshaffafia Trading W.L.L., (c) that certain Backstop Subscription Agreement, dated as of April 14, 2022, by and between SPAC and Composite Analysis Group, Inc., and (d) that certain Forward Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 23, 2022, by and between SPAC and M&G (ACS) Japan Equity Fund, no person, other than a Holder of Registered Securities, has any right to require the Company to register any securities of the Company for sale or to include such securities of the Company in any Registration filed by the Company for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other person.

 

16


5.8 Term. This Agreement shall terminate with respect to any Holder on the date that such Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities. The provisions of Section 3.5 and Article IV shall survive any termination.

5.9 Holder Information. Each Holder agrees, if requested in writing, to represent to the Company the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Holder in order for the Company to make determinations hereunder.

5.10 Severability. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

5.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter.

FINAL FORM

LOCK-UP AGREEMENT

THIS LOCK-UP AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of May 31, 2022 by and among (i) Gesher I Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“SPAC”), (ii) Freightos Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (the “Company”), (iii) Gesher I Sponsor, LLC (“Sponsor”) and (iv) the undersigned (“Holder”). Any capitalized term used but not defined in this Agreement will have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Business Combination Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, SPAC, the Company, Freightos Merger Sub I, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, (“Merger Sub I”) and Freightos Merger Sub II, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub II”) contemporaneously herewith are entering into that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of the date first set forth above (as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Business Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other matters, following the Recapitalization and upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Closing”), Merger Sub I will merge with and into SPAC, with SPAC being the surviving entity as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and immediately thereafter, SPAC will merger with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II being the surviving entity as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (collectively, the “Mergers”);

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, Holder owns certain membership interests of Sponsor, and Sponsor in turns owns SPAC Shares and SPAC Warrants that are “attributable to” Holder pursuant to the Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of Sponsor, as it may be amended and updated from time to time (the “LLC Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, at the Closing the SPAC Shares and SPAC Warrants held by Sponsor will automatically be converted into the right to receive Company Ordinary Shares and Company Warrants, with such Company Ordinary Shares and Company Warrants (and any Company Ordinary Shares issuable in respect of Company Warrants) received by Sponsor and attributable to Holder pursuant to the LLC Agreement being referred to herein as the “Restricted Securities” and subject to the limitations on disposition as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, which are incorporated in this Agreement as if fully set forth below, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Lock-up Provisions.

(a) Subject to the exceptions set forth herein, Holder hereby agrees not to Transfer any Restricted Securities from and after the Closing until the thirty-six (36) month anniversary (such period, the “Lock-up Period”) of the date on which Closing occurs (the “Lock-Up Restrictions”). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (i)(A) at the nine (9) month anniversary of the date on which Closing occurs, twenty-five percent (25%) of the Restricted Securities will cease to be deemed Restricted Securities hereunder, (B) at the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the date on which Closing occurs, an additional twenty-five percent (25%) of the Restricted Securities will cease to be deemed Restricted Securities hereunder, (C) at the twenty-seven (27) month anniversary of the date on which Closing occurs, an additional twenty-five percent (25%) of the Restricted Securities will cease to be deemed Restricted Securities hereunder, and (D) at the thirty-six (36) month anniversary of the date on which Closing occurs, any remaining Restricted Securities will cease to be deemed Restricted Securities hereunder, (ii) if at any time after the Closing but prior to the end of the Lock-Up Period, a Change of Control occurs, then

 

1


concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control, all of the then-Restricted Securities will cease to be deemed Restricted Securities hereunder, and (iii) the Lock-Up Restrictions shall not apply to the Transfer of any or all of the Restricted Securities owned by Holder directly or indirectly through Sponsor made in respect of a Permitted Transfer (as defined below); provided, however, that in any of case of a Permitted Transfer, it shall be a condition to such Transfer that the transferee executes and delivers to the Company an agreement, in substantially the same form of this Agreement, stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the Restricted Securities subject to the provisions of this Agreement applicable to Holder, and there shall be no further Transfer of such Restricted Securities except in accordance with this Agreement. When Restricted Securities cease to Restricted Securities in accordance with the preceding sentence, such released Company Ordinary Shares may be Transferred without regard to the Lock-Up Restrictions hereunder, subject to compliance with applicable Law and such other agreements to which the Holder or such Company Ordinary Shares may be bound. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Company Ordinary Shares, Company Warrants and Company Ordinary Shares issuable in respect of Company Warrants held by Sponsor that are not Restricted Securities (because they are attributable to members of Sponsor other than the Holder and who have not also executed lock up agreements) are not subject to the restrictions contained in this Agreement. Holder acknowledges that while an employee, agent or representative of Holder is a member of the Company’s Board of Directors that Holder will not transfer any Restricted Securities during any Company-imposed “quiet periods” or “blackout periods” on the members of its Board of Directors, or while such person is in possession of material, non-public information about the Company.

(b) As used herein:

Change of Control” means, in one transaction or a series of related transactions and, for the avoidance of doubt, except as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, any (A) direct or indirect sale, lease, exchange, transfer, license, acquisition or disposition of assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries equal to fifty percent (50%) or more of the Company’s consolidated assets or to which fifty percent (50%) or more of the Company’s net revenues or net income on a consolidated basis are attributable, (B) direct or indirect acquisition of fifty percent (50%) or more of then-issued and outstanding Company Ordinary Shares, (C) tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person beneficially owning fifty percent (50%) or more of the then-issued and outstanding Company Ordinary Shares, (D) liquidation, dissolution (or the adoption of a plan of liquidation or dissolution), recapitalization, or other significant corporate reorganization of the Company, (E) merger, consolidation or other combination involving the Company and any third-party other than a Subsidiary, or (F) any combination of the foregoing types of transactions if the sum of the percentage of consolidated assets, net revenues or net income and Company Ordinary Shares involved is fifty percent (50%) or more.

Permitted Transfer” shall mean a Transfer made: (A) in the case of Holder being an individual, by gift to a member of one of the individual’s immediate family, an estate planning vehicle or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization; (B) in the case of Holder being an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of Holder; (C) in the case of Holder being an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or pursuant to a court order or settlement related to the distribution of assets in connection with the dissolution of marriage or civil union; (D) by distributions from Sponsor or Holder to its members, partners, or shareholders; (E) by virtue of applicable Law or the Holder’s organizational documents upon liquidation or dissolution of Holder; or (F) to any Affiliates of the Holder.

Transfer” shall mean (A) the sale of, offer to sell, contract or agreement to sell, hypothecate, pledge, hedge, grant of any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agreement to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establishment or increase of a put equivalent position or liquidation with respect to or decrease of a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and the

 

2


rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder with respect to, any security, (B) entry into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (C) public announcement of any intention to effect any transaction, including the filing of a registration statement, specified in clause (A) or (B).    

(c) If any Transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, such purported Transfer shall be null and void ab initio, and the Company shall refuse to recognize any such purported transferee of the Restricted Securities as one of its equity holders for any purpose.

(d) During the Lock-up Period, stop transfer orders shall be placed against the Restricted Securities and each certificate or book entry position statement evidencing any Restricted Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF [_______], 2022, BY AND AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES, THE ISSUER’S SECURITY HOLDER NAMED THEREIN AND CERTAIN OTHER PARTIES NAMED THEREIN, AS MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME. A COPY OF SUCH LOCK-UP AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE ISSUER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”

(e) For the avoidance of any doubt, (i) Holder (through Sponsor) shall retain all of its rights as a shareholder of the Company during the Lock-up Period, including the right to vote, and to receive any dividends and distributions in respect of, any Restricted Securities, and (ii) the restrictions contained in Section 1(a) shall not apply to any Company Ordinary Shares or other securities of the Company acquired by Holder after the Closing in open market transactions, as grants for services rendered or in any public or private capital raising transactions of the Company or otherwise to any Company Ordinary Shares (or other securities of the Company) other than the Restricted Securities.

2. Miscellaneous.

(a) Termination of Business Combination Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the Business Combination Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the Closing, this Agreement and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect.

(b) Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Except in respect of a Permitted Transfer, this Agreement and all obligations of Holder are personal to Holder and may not be transferred or delegated by Holder at any time without the prior written consent of the Company and SPAC. Each of the Company and SPAC may freely assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any successor entity (whether by merger, consolidation, equity sale, asset sale or otherwise) without obtaining the consent or approval of Holder.

 

3


(c) Third Parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any instrument or document executed by any party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall create any rights in, or be deemed to have been executed for the benefit of, any person or entity that is not a party hereto or thereto or a successor or permitted assign of such a party.

(d) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial; Remedies. This Agreement and all related Actions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. THE PARTIES HERETO EACH HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (I) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (II) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES HERETO EACH HEREBY AGREE AND CONSENT THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

(e) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

(f) Construction; Interpretation. The headings set forth in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. No party hereto, nor its respective counsel, shall be deemed the drafter of this Agreement for purposes of construing the provisions hereof, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed according to their fair meaning and not strictly for or against any such party. Unless otherwise indicated to the contrary herein by the context or use thereof: (i) the words, “herein,” “hereto,” “hereof” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, and not to any particular section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause set forth in this Agreement; (ii) masculine gender shall also include the feminine and neutral genders, and vice versa; (iii) words importing the singular shall also include the plural, and vice versa; (iv) the words “include,” “includes” or “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (v) references to “$” or “dollar” or “US$” shall be references to United States dollars; (vi) the word “or” is disjunctive but not necessarily exclusive; (vii) the words “writing”, “written” and comparable terms refer to printing, typing and other means of reproducing words (including electronic media) in a visible form; (viii) the word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”; (ix) all references to Articles or Sections are to Articles or Sections of this Agreement; and (x) all references to any Law will be to such Law as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

(f) Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended or modified only with the written consent of the Company, SPAC, Sponsor and Holder. The observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision. The Company and SPAC hereby represent, warrant, covenant and agree that if any Lock-Up Agreement signed by a shareholder of the Company as of the date hereof in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby is amended, modified or waived in a manner favorable to such shareholder and that would be favorable to Holder (other than the side letter, a form of which is attached as Exhibit A (the “Side Letter”)), this Agreement shall be contemporaneously amended to the extent applicable in a corresponding manner, mutatis mutandis (which, for the avoidance, of doubt will include a release of the same percentage of Holder’s Restricted Securities) and the Company shall provide prompt notice thereof to Holder.

(h) Authorization on Behalf of the Company. In the event that Holder or Holder’s Affiliate serves as a director, officer, employee or other authorized agent of the Company or any of its current or future Affiliates, Holder and/or Holder’s Affiliate shall have no authority, express or implied, to act or make any determination on behalf of the Company or any of its current or future Affiliates in connection with this Agreement or any dispute or Action with respect hereto.

(i) Specific Performance. Holder acknowledges that its obligations under this Agreement are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by Holder, money damages will be inadequate and the Company and SPAC will have no adequate remedy at law, and agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by Holder in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each of the Company and SPAC shall be entitled to an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement by Holder and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

Exhibit 10.8

FINAL FORM

LOCK-UP AGREEMENT

THIS LOCK-UP AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of May 31, 2022 by and among (i) Gesher I Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“SPAC”), (ii) Freightos Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (the “Company”), and (iii) the undersigned (“Holder”). Any capitalized term used but not defined in this Agreement will have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Business Combination Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, SPAC, the Company, Freightos Merger Sub I, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, (“Merger Sub I”) and Freightos Merger Sub II, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub II”) contemporaneously entered into that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of the date first set forth above (as amended from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Business Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other matters, following the Recapitalization and upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Closing”), Merger Sub I will merge with and into SPAC, with SPAC being the surviving entity as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and immediately thereafter, SPAC will merge with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II being the surviving entity as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (collectively, the “Mergers”), and as a result of which all of the issued and outstanding capital stock and warrants of the SPAC immediately prior to the Closing shall automatically be converted into the right to receive certain Company Ordinary Shares and warrants, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement;

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, Holder is a holder of equity securities of the Company in such amounts and classes or series as set forth underneath Holder’s name on the signature page hereto; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties desire to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which the Company Ordinary Shares, including any right to any Company Ordinary Shares underlying Company Options, if any, held by Holder immediately after the Closing as set forth on the signature page hereto (all such Company Ordinary Shares and Company Ordinary Shares underlying Company Options, the “Restricted Securities”) shall become subject to limitations on disposition as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, which are incorporated in this Agreement as if fully set forth below, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Lock-up Provisions.

(a) Subject to the exceptions set forth herein, Holder hereby agrees not to Transfer any Restricted Securities from and after the Closing until the twenty-four (24) month anniversary (such period, the “Lock-up Period”) of the date on which Closing occurs (the “Lock-Up Restrictions”). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (i)(A) at the six (6) month anniversary of the date on which Closing occurs, twenty-five percent (25%) of the Restricted Securities will cease to be deemed Restricted Securities hereunder, (B) at the twelve (12) month anniversary of the date on which Closing occurs, an additional twenty-five percent (25%) of the Restricted Securities will cease to be deemed Restricted Securities hereunder, (C) at the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the date on which Closing occurs, an additional twenty-five percent (25%) of the Restricted Securities will cease to be deemed Restricted Securities hereunder, and (D) at the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the date on which Closing

 

1


occurs, any remaining Restricted Securities will cease to be deemed Restricted Securities hereunder, (ii) if at any time after the Closing but prior to the end of the Lock-Up Period, a Change of Control occurs, then concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control event, all of the then-Restricted Securities will cease to be deemed Restricted Securities hereunder, and (iii) the Lock-Up Restrictions shall not apply to the Transfer of any or all of the Restricted Securities owned by Holder made in respect of a Permitted Transfer (as defined below); provided, however, that in any of case of a Permitted Transfer, it shall be a condition to such Transfer that the transferee executes and delivers to the Company an agreement, in substantially the same form of this Agreement, stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the Restricted Securities subject to the provisions of this Agreement applicable to Holder, and there shall be no further Transfer of such Restricted Securities except in accordance with this Agreement. When Restricted Securities cease to Restricted Securities in accordance with the preceding sentence, such released Company Ordinary Shares may be Transferred without regard to the Lock-Up Restrictions hereunder, subject to compliance with applicable Law and such other agreements to which the Holder or such Company Ordinary Shares may be bound. Holder acknowledges that while an employee, agent or representative of Holder is a member of the Company’s Board of Directors that Holder will not transfer any Restricted Securities during any Company-imposed “quiet periods” or “blackout periods” on the members of its Board of Directors, or while such person is in possession of material, non-public information about the Company.

(b) As used herein:

Change of Control” means, in one transaction or a series of related transactions and, for the avoidance of doubt, except as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, any (A) direct or indirect sale, lease, exchange, transfer, license, acquisition or disposition of assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries equal to fifty percent (50%) or more of the Company’s consolidated assets or to which fifty percent (50%) or more of the Company’s net revenues or net income on a consolidated basis are attributable, (B) direct or indirect acquisition of fifty percent (50%) or more of then-issued and outstanding Company Ordinary Shares, (C) tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person beneficially owning fifty percent (50%) or more of the then-issued and outstanding Company Ordinary Shares, (D) liquidation, dissolution (or the adoption of a plan of liquidation or dissolution), recapitalization, or other significant corporate reorganization of the Company, (E) merger, consolidation or other combination involving the Company and any third-party other than a Subsidiary, or (F) any combination of the foregoing types of transactions if the sum of the percentage of consolidated assets, net revenues or net income and Company Ordinary Shares involved is fifty percent (50%) or more.

Permitted Transfer” shall mean a Transfer made: (A) in the case of Holder being an individual, by gift to a member of one of the individual’s immediate family, an estate planning vehicle or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization; (B) in the case of Holder being an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of Holder; (C) in the case of Holder being an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or pursuant to a court order or settlement related to the distribution of assets in connection with the dissolution of marriage or civil union; (D) by distributions from Holder to its members, partners, or shareholders; (E) by virtue of applicable Law or the Holder’s organizational documents upon liquidation or dissolution of Holder; or (F) to any Affiliates of the Holder.

Transfer” shall mean (A) the sale of, offer to sell, contract or agreement to sell, hypothecate, pledge, hedge, grant of any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agreement to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establishment or increase of a put equivalent position or liquidation with respect to or decrease of a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder with respect to, any security, (B) entry into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (C) public announcement of any intention to effect any transaction, including the filing of a registration statement, specified in clause (A) or (B).

 

2


(c) If any Transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, such purported Transfer shall be null and void ab initio, and the Company shall refuse to recognize any such purported transferee of the Restricted Securities as one of its equity holders for any purpose.

(d) During the Lock-up Period, stop transfer orders shall be placed against the Restricted Securities and each certificate or book entry position statement evidencing any Restricted Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF [_______], 2022, BY AND AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES, THE ISSUER’S SECURITY HOLDER NAMED THEREIN AND CERTAIN OTHER PARTIES NAMED THEREIN, AS MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME. A COPY OF SUCH LOCK-UP AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE ISSUER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”

(e) For the avoidance of any doubt, (i) Holder shall retain all of its rights as a shareholder of the Company during the Lock-up Period, including the right to vote, and to receive any dividends and distributions in respect of, any Restricted Securities, and (ii) the restrictions contained in Section 1(a) shall not apply to any Company Ordinary Shares or other securities of the Company acquired by Holder after the Closing in open market transactions, as grants for services rendered or in any public or private capital raising transactions of the Company or otherwise to any Company Ordinary Shares (or other securities of the Company) other than the Restricted Securities.

2. Miscellaneous.

(a) Termination of Business Combination Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the Business Combination Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the Closing, this Agreement and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect.

(b) Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Except in respect of a Permitted Transfer, this Agreement and all obligations of Holder are personal to Holder and may not be transferred or delegated by Holder at any time without the prior written consent of the Company and SPAC. Each of the Company and SPAC may freely assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any successor entity (whether by merger, consolidation, equity sale, asset sale or otherwise) without obtaining the consent or approval of Holder.

(c) Third Parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any instrument or document executed by any party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall create any rights in, or be deemed to have been executed for the benefit of, any person or entity that is not a party hereto or thereto or a successor or permitted assign of such a party.

 

3


(d) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial; Remedies. This Agreement and all related Actions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. THE PARTIES HERETO EACH HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (I) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (II) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES HERETO EACH HEREBY AGREE AND CONSENT THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

(e) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

(f) Construction; Interpretation. The headings set forth in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. No party hereto, nor its respective counsel, shall be deemed the drafter of this Agreement for purposes of construing the provisions hereof, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed according to their fair meaning and not strictly for or against any such party. Unless otherwise indicated to the contrary herein by the context or use thereof: (i) the words, “herein,” “hereto,” “hereof” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, and not to any particular section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause set forth in this Agreement; (ii) masculine gender shall also include the feminine and neutral genders, and vice versa; (iii) words importing the singular shall also include the plural, and vice versa; (iv) the words “include,” “includes” or “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (v) references to “$” or “dollar” or “US$” shall be references to United States dollars; (vi) the word “or” is disjunctive but not necessarily exclusive; (vii) the words “writing”, “written” and comparable terms refer to printing, typing and other means of reproducing words (including electronic media) in a visible form; (viii) the word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”; (ix) all references to Articles or Sections are to Articles or Sections of this Agreement; and (x) all references to any Law will be to such Law as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

(g) Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given (and shall be deemed to have been duly given) when delivered in person, when delivered by e-mail (having obtained electronic delivery confirmation thereof), or when sent by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) (upon receipt thereof) to the other parties hereto as follows:

(h) Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended or modified only with the written consent of the Company, SPAC and Holder. The observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision. The Company and SPAC hereby represent, warrant, covenant and agree that if any Lock-Up Agreement signed by a shareholder of the Company as of the date hereof in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby is amended, modified or waived in a manner favorable to such shareholder and that would be favorable to Holder (other than the side letter, a form of which is attached as Exhibit A (the “Side Letter”)), this Agreement shall be contemporaneously amended to the extent applicable in a corresponding manner, mutatis mutandis (which, for the avoidance, of doubt will include a release of the same percentage of Holder’s Restricted Securities) and the Company shall provide prompt notice thereof to Holder.

(i) Authorization on Behalf of the Company. In the event that Holder or Holder’s Affiliate or employee serves as a director, officer, employee or other authorized agent of the Company or any of its current or future Affiliates, Holder and/or Holder’s Affiliate or employee shall have no authority, express or implied, to act or make any determination on behalf of the Company or any of its current or future Affiliates in connection with this Agreement or any dispute or Action with respect hereto.

(j) Specific Performance. Holder acknowledges that its obligations under this Agreement are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by Holder, money damages will be inadequate and the Company and SPAC will have no adequate remedy at law, and agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by Holder in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly,

 

5


each of the Company and SPAC shall be entitled to an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement by Holder and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

(k) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof (other than the Side Letter)1 existing between the parties is expressly canceled; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties under the Business Combination Agreement or any ancillary agreement referenced thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any of the rights or remedies of the Company and SPAC or any of the rights or obligations of Holder under any other agreement between Holder and the Company or SPAC or any certificate or instrument executed by Holder in favor of the Company or SPAC, and nothing in any other agreement, certificate or instrument shall limit any of the rights or remedies of the Company or SPAC or any of the rights or obligations of Holder under this Agreement.

(l) Further Assurances. From time to time, at another party’s written request and without further consideration (but at the requesting party’s reasonable cost and expense), each party shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(m) Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this Agreement shall include images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including, “pdf”, “tif” or “jpg”) and other electronic signatures (including, for example, DocuSign and AdobeSign). The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the Delaware Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and any other applicable law. Minor variations in the form of the signature page, including footers from earlier versions of this Agreement or any such other document, shall be disregarded in determining the party’s intent or the effectiveness of such signature.
