Financings of the Company. (a) Until the occurrence of a Standstill Termination Event, if the Company proposes to issue New Securities primarily for cash consideration in a financing transaction (except in any transaction specifically described in Section 6.3) and the effect of consummating such transaction would result in a reduction in the percentage interest of the Total Outstanding Company Equity held by the Sumitomo Group (a “Financing Transaction”), Sumitovant Bio will have the right to purchase for cash up to a number of New Securities sold in such Financing Transaction that is equal to the Sumitomo Group Pro Rata Share, or any part thereof, at the same price per New Security at which such New Securities are sold in such Financing Transaction to the other investors (the “Purchase Price”), as further described in this Section 6.2. (b) Until the occurrence of a Standstill Termination Event, no less than 20 and no more than 25 Business Days prior to the issuance and sale of any New Securities in a Financing Transaction, the Company will notify Sumitovant Bio of the Company’s intention to make such issuance by written dated notice setting forth: (i) the proposed date of the closing of the Financing Transaction, (ii) the number, type and material terms of New Securities to be sold in the Financing Transaction, (iii) the calculation of the number of New Securities constituting the Sumitomo Group Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities to be sold in the Financing Transaction), (iv) the closing price or in the absence of a closing price, the closing bid price, of the Common Shares on the prior trading day on the principal securities exchange on which the Common Shares are then trading and (v) the capitalization of the Company on an actual and pro forma basis after giving effect to the issuance of New Securities (the “Company Financing Issuance Notice”). (c) At least five Business Days prior to the proposed date of the closing of the Financing Transaction as set forth in the Company Financing Issuance Notice, Sumitovant Bio will notify the Company by written dated notice, stating (i) the number of New Securities to be purchased by Sumitovant Bio in the Financing Transaction, which will not exceed the Sumitomo Pro Rata Share of such New Securities (the “Direct Purchase Securities”) and/or (ii) whether or not Sumitovant Bio has made a determination to acquire Voting Shares or Convertible Securities in open market purchases, or privately negotiated purchases from Disinterested Shareholders, so as, together with any Direct Purchase Securities, to maintain the Sumitomo Group’s Beneficial Ownership percentage of the Total Current Voting Power immediately prior to such Financing Transaction within the applicable Grace Period relating to the Company Financing Issuance Notice (the “Sumitovant Bio Financing Participation Notice”). If Sumitovant Bio fails to deliver a Sumitovant Bio Financing Participation Notice at least five Business Days prior to the proposed date of the closing of the Financing Transaction as set forth in the Company Financing Issuance Notice, Sumitovant Bio will be deemed to have elected not to acquire any Direct Purchase Securities or to maintain the Sumitomo Group’s Beneficial Ownership percentage of the Total Current Voting Power immediately prior to such Financing Transaction within the Grace Period relating to such Company Financing Issuance Notice; provided, however, that if the actual closing of such Financing Transaction does not occur within 10 Business Days following the proposed date of the closing set forth in, and on the terms and conditions in all material respects as set forth in, the Company Financing Issuance Notice, the Company will deliver a revised Company Financing Issuance Notice and Sumitovant Bio will have 10 Business Days following the date of receipt of the revised Company Financing Issuance Notice to provide a new Sumitovant Bio Financing Participation Notice, which revised Company Financing Issuance Notice and Sumitovant Bio Financing Participation Notice will supersede and replace any prior delivered Company Financing Issuance Notice and Sumitovant Bio Financing Participation Notice, respectively, and will otherwise be subject to the terms and processes set forth in this Section 6.2. (d) If the Company issues and sells the New Securities in a Financing Transaction that was subject to a Company Financing Issuance Notice, then Sumitovant Bio will be obligated to purchase the number of Direct Purchase Securities, if any, that are subject to the Sumitovant Bio Financing Participation Notice delivered to the Company pursuant to Section 6.2(c), if any, for the Purchase Price; provided, however, that if a preliminary “red xxxxxxx” prospectus is filed in connection with such Financing Transaction and (A) the closing sale prices of such New Security on the principal U.S. or foreign securities exchange on which such New Securities are listed or, if such securities are not listed or primarily traded on any such exchange, the closing bid quotations of such New Security on any quotation system then in use (all such closing sales prices or, in the absence of a closing sale price, closing bid quotations, will be appropriately adjusted to take into account the effect of any dividends, stock splits, recapitalization, spin-offs or similar transactions that affect such closing sale prices or bid quotations having a record date or effected since the date prior to which the Sumitovant Bio Financing Participation Notice was delivered), is more than 10% higher than (B) the closing price (or in the absence of a closing price, the closing bid quotations) of such New Security on the day prior to the delivery of a Sumitovant Bio Financing Participation Notice, Sumitovant Bio will not be obligated to purchase the Direct Purchase Securities. The closing of the Direct Purchase Securities, if any, will take place contemporaneously with such Financing Transaction, subject to the provisions of Section 6.2(f). (e) If, pursuant to the terms of Section 6.2(d), Sumitovant Bio is no longer obligated to purchase Direct Purchase Securities that were subject to a validly delivered Sumitovant Bio Financing Participation Notice, Sumitovant Bio will have the right, within 15 Business Days after the closing of the Financing Transaction, to deliver to the Company an amended Sumitovant Bio Financing Participation Notice stating whether or not Sumitovant Bio has made a bona fide determination to acquire Voting Shares or Convertible Securities in open market purchases, or privately negotiated purchases from Disinterested Shareholders, so as, together with any New Securities subject to the previously delivered Sumitovant Bio Financing Participation Notice, to maintain the Sumitomo Group’s Beneficial Ownership percentage of the Total Current Voting Power immediately prior to such Financing Transaction within the applicable Grace Period relating to any then effective Sumitovant Bio Financing Participation Notice. If Sumitovant Bio fails to deliver an amended Sumitovant Bio Financing Participation Notice within such 15 Business Day Period, Sumitovant Bio will be deemed to have elected not to satisfy any portion of Sumitovant Bio’s right to maintain the Sumitomo Group’s Beneficial Ownership percentage of the Total Current Voting Power immediately prior to such Financing Transaction, other than with respect to Voting Shares or Convertible Securities, if any, that are subject to any then effective Sumitovant Bio Financing Participation Notice and that were not Direct Purchase Securities. (f) The purchase and sale of New Securities pursuant to this Section 6.2 will be subject to, and will take place on the later of, the: (i) closing date specified in Section 6.2(d) or (ii) the third Business Day following the expiration or early termination of all waiting periods imposed on such purchase and sale by applicable Antitrust Laws, or at such other time and place as the Company and Sumitovant Bio may agree. The Company and Sumitovant Bio will use their commercially reasonable efforts to (i) comply with Antitrust Laws applicable to such purchase and sale of such New Securities and (ii) all federal and state laws and regulations and the listing requirements of NASDAQ applicable to any purchase and sale of such New Securities. (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to require Sumitovant Bio or the Company or any Affiliate thereof to litigate with any governmental entity or agree to any divesture by itself or any of its Affiliates of shares of capital stock or of any business, assets or property, or the imposition of any limitation on the ability of any of them to conduct their business or to own or exercise control of such assets, properties and stock. (h) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.2 to the contrary, if a purchase by Sumitovant Bio of New Securities that are the subject of a Financing Transaction is not able to be consummated at the same time as the purchase and sale to other purchasers of such New Securities as a result of a legal or regulatory delay, such as a delay related to compliance with the HSR Act or any similar required non-U.S. regulatory scheme or to compliance with applicable laws and regulations and requirements of NASDAQ or any other applicable stock exchange, the applicable Grace Period relating to such New Securities will be extended for the same period of time as such regulatory delay or until it is determined that the acquisition by the Sumitomo Group of such securities is no longer legally permitted or feasible, and the Company will be entitled to issue the portion of New Securities to be sold to third parties in advance of the issuance of New Securities to Sumitovant Bio.
