Issuance of Shares The Conversion Shares are duly authorized and reserved for issuance and, upon conversion of the Note in accordance with its respective terms, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Company and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.
Issuance of Shares of Stock As soon as practicable following each Vesting Date (but in no event later than two and one-half months after the end of the year in which the Vesting Date occurs), the Company shall issue to the Grantee the number of shares of Stock equal to the aggregate number of Restricted Stock Units that have vested pursuant to Paragraph 2 of this Agreement on such date and the Grantee shall thereafter have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such shares.
Issuance of Shares of Common Stock on Exercise As soon as practicable after the exercise of any Warrant and the clearance of the funds in payment of the Warrant Price (if payment is pursuant to subsection 3.3.1(a)), the Company shall issue to the Registered Holder of such Warrant a book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for the number of full shares of Common Stock to which he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it, and if such Warrant shall not have been exercised in full, a new book-entry position or countersigned Warrant, as applicable, for the number of shares of Common Stock as to which such Warrant shall not have been exercised. If fewer than all the Warrants evidenced by a Book-Entry Warrant Certificate are exercised, a notation shall be made to the records maintained by the Depositary, its nominee for each Book-Entry Warrant Certificate, or a Participant, as appropriate, evidencing the balance of the Warrants remaining after such exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant and shall have no obligation to settle such Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Public Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company’s satisfying its obligations under Section 7.4. No Warrant shall be exercisable and the Company shall not be obligated to issue shares of Common Stock upon exercise of a Warrant unless the Common Stock issuable upon such Warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt from registration or qualification under the securities laws of the state of residence of the Registered Holder of the Warrants, except pursuant to Section 7.4. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a Warrant, the holder of such Warrant shall not be entitled to exercise such Warrant and such Warrant may have no value and expire worthless, in which case the purchaser of a Unit containing such Public Warrants shall have paid the full purchase price for the Unit solely for the shares of Common Stock underlying such Unit. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Warrant exercise. The Company may require holders of Public Warrants to settle the Warrant on a “cashless basis” pursuant to subsection 3.3.1(b)
Issuance of Ordinary Shares on Exercise As soon as practicable after the exercise of any Warrant and the clearance of the funds in payment of the Warrant Price (if payment is pursuant to subsection 3.3.1(a)), the Company shall issue to the Registered Holder of such Warrant a book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for the number of Ordinary Shares to which he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it on the register of members of the Company, and if such Warrant shall not have been exercised in full, a new book-entry position or countersigned Warrant, as applicable, for the number of shares as to which such Warrant shall not have been exercised. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant and shall have no obligation to settle such Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Ordinary Shares underlying the Public Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company’s satisfying its obligations under Section 7.4 or a valid exemption from registration is available. No Warrant shall be exercisable and the Company shall not be obligated to issue Ordinary Shares upon exercise of a Warrant unless the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such Warrant exercise have been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt from registration or qualification under the securities laws of the state of residence of the Registered Holder of the Warrants. Subject to Section 4.6 of this Agreement, a Registered Holder of Warrants may exercise its Warrants only for a whole number of Ordinary Shares. The Company may require holders of Public Warrants to settle the Warrant on a “cashless basis” pursuant to Section 7.4. If, by reason of any exercise of Warrants on a “cashless basis”, the holder of any Warrant would be entitled, upon the exercise of such Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in an Ordinary Share, the Company shall round down to the nearest whole number, the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued to such holder.
Issuance of Shares of Common Stock As soon as practicable upon the occurrence of an Exchange Event, the Company shall direct holders of the Rights to return their Rights Certificates to the Rights Agent. Upon receipt of a valid Rights Certificate, the Company shall issue to the registered holder of such Right(s) the number of full shares of Common Stock to which he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it and issue to such registered holder(s) a certificate or book-entry position for the such shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Rights. The Company shall not issue fractional shares upon exchange of Rights. In the event that any holder would otherwise be entitled to any fractional share upon exchange of Rights, at the time of an Exchange Event, the Company will instruct the Right Agent how any such entitlement will be addressed. To the fullest extent permitted by the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation the Company reserves the right to deal with any such fractional entitlement at the relevant time in any manner permitted by the Act and the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which would include the rounding down of any entitlement to receive shares of Common Stock to the nearest whole share (and in effect extinguishing any fractional entitlement), or the holder being entitled to hold any remaining fractional entitlement (without any share being issued) and to aggregate the same with any future fractional entitlement to receive shares in the Company until the holder is entitled to receive a whole number. Any rounding down and extinguishment may be done with or without any in lieu cash payment or other compensation being made to the holder of the relevant Rights, such that value received on exchange of the Rights may be considered less than the value that the holder would otherwise expect to receive.
Adjustment Upon Issuance of Shares of Common Stock If and whenever on or after the date hereof, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 3 is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding any Exempt Issuance issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold) for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or deemed issuance or sale (such Exercise Price then in effect is referred to as the “Applicable Price”) (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to the New Issuance Price. For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without limitation, determining the adjusted Exercise Price and consideration per share under this Section 3(e)), the following shall be applicable:
Valid Issuance of Shares The Shares being purchased by the Shareholders hereunder, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for the consideration expressed herein, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and will be free of restrictions on transfer other than restrictions on transfer under this Agreement and under applicable law.
Issuance of Share Certificates Subject to the last sentence of this Section 8, upon receipt by the Company prior to expiration of the Option of a duly completed Notice of Exercise of Option accompanied by payment for the Shares being purchased pursuant to such Notice (and, with respect to any Option exercised pursuant to Section 9 hereof by someone other than the Optionee, accompanied in addition by proof satisfactory to the Committee of the right of such person to exercise the Option), the Company shall deliver to the Optionee, within thirty (30) days of such receipt, a certificate for the number of Shares so purchased. The Optionee shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares which are subject to the Option unless and until a certificate representing such Shares is issued to the Optionee. The Company shall not be required to issue any certificates for Shares upon the exercise of the Option prior to (i) obtaining any Consents which the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable, or (ii) the determination by the Committee, in its sole discretion, that no Consents need be obtained.
Issuance of Common Shares (a) Upon the expiration of the Vesting Period without forfeiture, the Company shall cause a certificate or certificates to be issued to the Director for the Reelection Grant Shares. Common Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement which have not been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, if any, shall bear a legend substantially as follows:
(b) The Company shall not be required to transfer or deliver any certificate or certificates for Common Shares under this Agreement: (i) until after compliance with all then applicable requirements of law; and (ii) prior to admission of the Common Shares to listing on any stock exchange on which the Common Shares may then be listed. In no event shall the Company be required to issue fractional shares to the Director or his or her successor.
Issuance of Common Stock (a) When the Restricted Stock Units vest as described above, such Restricted Stock Units shall no longer be subject to forfeiture. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Icagen shall issue or cause to be issued to the Grantee one share of Common Stock for each whole vested Restricted Unit on, or as soon as practicable after, each vesting date set forth above (but in any event by the thirtieth (30th) day following each such vesting date), subject to the satisfaction of the Grantee’s tax withholding obligations as described below. No fractional shares shall be issued under this Agreement and any fractional Units shall be handled as provided in Paragraph 3 hereof.
(b) All obligations of Icagen and rights of Grantee under this Agreement shall be subject to the rights of Icagen as set forth in the Plan to withhold amounts required to be withheld for applicable taxes. The Grantee may elect with a 30 day advance notice to Icagen to satisfy any tax withholding obligation of Icagen with respect to the Restricted Stock Units by either by a cash payment to Icagen or having shares of Common Stock withheld by Icagen up to an amount that does not exceed the minimum applicable withholding tax rate for federal (including FICA), state, and local tax liabilities (“Applicable Withholding Taxes”), subject to the terms of Section 9(e) of the Plan. If no election has been made, Icagen will withhold shares to satisfy withholding obligations, and Grantee hereby authorizes Icagen to distribute the shares of Common Stock with respect to the Restricted Stock Units net of the number of whole shares of Common Stock the aggregate market value of which is equal to the minimum Applicable Withholding Taxes. The Grantee further agrees that any additional amounts required for payment of the Applicable Withholding Taxes may be withheld by Icagen from any other payments due to Grantee, including through the Grantee’s paycheck.
(c) The obligation of Icagen to deliver shares hereunder shall also be subject to the condition that if at any time the Committee shall determine in its discretion that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Common Stock upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issue of shares, the shares may not be issued in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee. The issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Grantee pursuant to this Agreement is subject to any applicable taxes and other laws or regulations of the United States or of any state having jurisdiction thereof.
(d) The Grantee agrees to be bound by Icagen’s policies regarding transfer of shares of Common Stock and understands that there may be certain times during the year in which the Grantee will be prohibited from selling, transferring, pledging, donating, assigning, mortgaging, hypothocating or encumbering shares.
