Limited Preemptive Rights Except as provided in Section 5.3, no Person shall have preemptive, preferential or other similar rights with respect to (a) additional Capital Contributions; (b) issuance or sale of any class or series of Partnership Interests, whether unissued, held in the treasury or hereafter created; (c) issuance of any obligations, evidences of indebtedness or other securities of the Partnership convertible into or exchangeable for, or carrying or accompanied by any rights to receive, purchase or subscribe to, any such Partnership Interests; (d) issuance of any right of subscription to or right to receive, or any warrant or option for the purchase of, any such Partnership Interests; or (e) issuance or sale of any other securities that may be issued or sold by the Partnership.
Preemptive Rights (a) In the event that the Purchaser Beneficially Owns at least 20% of the aggregate number of shares of NewCo Common Stock then outstanding, if NewCo engages in any transaction involving the direct or indirect sale or issuance of Covered Securities by NewCo and such sale or issuance would cause the Purchaser to Beneficially Own less than 20% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of NewCo Common Stock immediately following such sale or issuance, the Purchaser will be afforded the opportunity to acquire from NewCo, for the same price and on the same terms as such Covered Securities are offered, up to an amount (the “Amount”) necessary to enable the Purchaser to own 20% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of NewCo Common Stock immediately following such sale or issuance; provided, that, if the transaction at issue is an acquisition, merger or other business combination involving a Third Party by NewCo in which NewCo issues or sells Covered Securities as consideration for the transaction, such Covered Securities shall be deemed to be offered at the per share purchase price implied from the transaction terms as of the time of entry into the agreement for such transaction; provided, further, that, if such per share purchase price is not reasonably ascertainable, the per share purchase price shall be deemed to be the trading price of the NewCo Common Stock at the close of the business on the day immediately prior to the public disclosure or announcement of such transaction.
(b) If NewCo proposes to engage in a transaction involving the direct or indirect sale or issuance of Covered Securities described in Section 8.12(a) above, NewCo will first submit written notice (the “Notice of Preemptive Rights”) to the Purchaser disclosing the terms of the proposed sale or issuance transaction (which notice will set forth all material terms, including price, number of securities or aggregate principal amount, as applicable, and the type of securities to be sold or issued). The Notice of Preemptive Rights will include an offer to the Purchaser to purchase up to the Purchaser’s Amount of such Covered Securities on terms and conditions, including price, not less favorable to the Purchaser than those on which NewCo proposes to sell such Covered Securities to the third party or parties. Such offer as set forth in the Notice of Preemptive Rights will remain open for a period of at least 15 Business Days after the Notice of Preemptive Rights is delivered, prior to the expiration of which period the Purchaser may accept such offer by written notice to NewCo setting forth the number of Covered Securities that the Purchaser intends to purchase. The consummation of such purchase by the Purchaser shall be conditioned on the simultaneous or prior consummation of the sale described in the Notice of Preemptive Rights. Nothing herein shall prohibit NewCo’s consummation of the sale set forth in the Notice of Preemptive Rights to third parties prior to the sale of Covered Securities to the Purchaser hereunder as long as NewCo has provided Purchaser the required notice hereunder and the Purchaser is simultaneously with or promptly after such consummation provided the opportunity to purchase the amount of Covered Securities that it would have been entitled to purchase if such issuance had occurred at the same time.
(c) Any Covered Securities covered by a Notice of Preemptive Rights which are not purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.12(b) may be sold by NewCo to a third party or parties at any time within 180 days following the expiration of the 15 Business Day period specified in Section 8.12(b); provided that each of the price and the other terms and conditions of such sale are not more favorable to such third parties than as set forth in the Notice of Preemptive Rights. For the avoidance of doubt, any sale or issuance of Covered Securities other than in compliance with this Section 8.12(c) will require delivery of a new Notice of Preemptive Rights.
Limited Preemptive Right Except as provided in this Section 5.9 and in Section 5.2, no Person shall have any preemptive, preferential or other similar right with respect to the issuance of any Partnership Security, whether unissued, held in the treasury or hereafter created. The General Partner shall have the right, which it may from time to time assign in whole or in part to any of its Affiliates, to purchase Partnership Securities from the Partnership whenever, and on the same terms that, the Partnership issues Partnership Securities to Persons other than the General Partner and its Affiliates, to the extent necessary to maintain the Percentage Interests of the General Partner and its Affiliates equal to that which existed immediately prior to the issuance of such Partnership Securities.
Waiver of Preemptive Rights The Subscriber hereby grants, conveys, and vests the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation as the Subscriber’s power of attorney solely for the purpose of waiving any prior or preemptive right which the Subscriber may have under applicable law to further issues of Securities of the Corporation.
Pre-emptive Rights 5.1 Subject to Section 5.5, if the Company at any time or from time to time proposes to issue any Qualified Securities (including any issuance of Qualified Securities that results, through a series of one or more related transactions, in the Company receiving, directly or indirectly, cash for such issuance), the Company shall, no later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the proposed consummation of such issuance give written notice thereof to Investor (the Pre-emptive Rights Notice). Such Pre-emptive Rights Notice shall contain the amount and class of Qualified Securities to be issued, the purchase price in respect thereof, the prospective purchasers thereof, if known, and any other terms the Company determines are pertinent regarding the proposed issuance and shall also contain an offer to issue to Investor, at the same purchase price per Qualified Security at which the Company issues such Qualified Securities to the other proposed purchasers thereof, that number of Qualified Securities (the Pre-emptive Securities) equal to the product of Investor’s Proportionate Interest multiplied by the total number of Qualified Securities being offered (the Pre-emptive Rights); provided, however, that the number of Pre-emptive Securities to be offered to Investor pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall be reduced by the number of Qualified Securities that Investor would otherwise have the right to purchase in connection with such issuance pursuant to applicable statutory pre-emptive rights (after giving effect to any waiver, in whole or in part, of such statutory pre-emptive rights by the Company’s shareholders, to the extent that such waiver is binding on Investor) or any other contractual pre-emptive rights that Investor may enforce against the Company. At any time within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of the Pre-emptive Rights Notice (the Pre-emptive Rights Period) Investor may accept the offer made to it in the Pre-emptive Rights Notice, by furnishing notice of acceptance thereof to the Company (the Pre-emptive Rights Acceptance Notice). Failure by Investor to provide a Pre-emptive Rights Acceptance Notice within the Pre-emptive Rights Period shall be deemed to constitute an election by Investor not to exercise its Pre-emptive Rights.
5.2 If at the end of the Pre-emptive Rights Period less than all of the Pre-emptive Securities are accepted for purchase by Investor pursuant to Section 5.1, the Company shall be entitled to proceed with the issuance of the Pre-emptive Securities that Investor did not accept for purchase pursuant to Section 5.1, on terms not more favourable than (including as to form of consideration), and for a purchase price equal to or higher than, that set forth in Pre-emptive Rights Notice.
5.3 The closing of the purchase of Pre-emptive Securities accepted for purchase pursuant to Section 5.1 shall take place together with the closing of the issuance to the other proposed buyer(s) and such purchase shall be at the purchase price specified in the Pre-emptive Rights Notice paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds or pursuant to the same terms and conditions offered to the proposed buyer(s) of Qualified Securities set forth in the Pre-emptive Rights Notice, in either case in the appropriate amount or other consideration (or a reasonable monetary equivalent of such other consideration) as indicated in such notice against delivery of certificates or other instruments representing the Pre-emptive Securities so purchased.
5.4 Investor may at its discretion by written notice to the Company waive its Pre-emptive Rights under this Section 5.1 in whole or in part at any time.
5.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Investor shall not be granted Pre-emptive Rights with respect to (i) issuances of options to employees of the Company pursuant to the ESOP, (ii) issuances of Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of options issued under the ESOP; or (iii) issuances of Qualified Securities in connection with the acquisition (whether by merger or otherwise) of all or part of the outstanding capital stock or assets of a third party; provided such acquisition is on an arm’s length basis, at market conditions and within the boundaries authorized in the Company’s shareholder meetings; and provided further that no Competitor would acquire 18% or more of the issued and outstanding Company Voting Securities (assuming the exercise, exchange or conversion of all securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into or otherwise giving the holder thereof any rights in respect of Company Voting Securities held by such Competitor or its Affiliates) immediately after such issuance as a result thereof.
5.6 Investor’s Pre-emptive Rights shall expire and no longer be available upon Investor (together with its Affiliates) ceasing to have Beneficial Ownership of at least 12% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADS); provided that Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to Section 5.5 above shall be disregarded for the purposes of determining whether Investor’s Beneficial Ownership falls below 12% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares represented by ADS).
