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).
Pre-Emptive Right (a) The Company hereby grants to each Initial Shareholder (each, a “Pre-emptive Shareholder”) the right to purchase its pro rata portion of any new Common Shares (other than any Excluded Securities) (the “New Securities”) that the Company may from time to time propose to issue or sell to any Person.
(b) The Company shall give written notice (an “Issuance Notice”) of any proposed issuance described in subsection (a) above to the Pre-emptive Shareholders within five Business Days following any meeting of the Board at which any such issuance or sale is approved. The Issuance Notice shall set forth the material terms and conditions of the proposed issuance, including:
(i) the number of New Securities proposed to be issued and the percentage of the Company’s outstanding Common Shares, on a fully diluted basis, that such issuance would represent;
(ii) the proposed issuance date, which shall be at least 20 Business Days from the date of the Issuance Notice; and
(iii) the proposed purchase price per share.
(c) Each Pre-emptive Shareholder shall for a period of 15 Business Days following the receipt of an Issuance Notice (the “Exercise Period”) have the right to elect irrevocably to purchase, at the purchase price set forth in the Issuance Notice, up to the amount of New Securities equal to the product of (x) the total number of New Securities to be issued by the Company on the issuance date and (y) a fraction determined by dividing (A) the number of Common Shares owned by such Pre-emptive Shareholder immediately prior to such issuance by (B) the total number of Common Shares owned by all Initial Shareholders on such date immediately prior to such issuance (the “Pre-emptive Pro Rata Portion”) by delivering a written notice to the Company. Such Pre-emptive Shareholder’s election to purchase New Securities shall be binding and irrevocable.
(d) No later than five Business Days following the expiration of the Exercise Period, the Company shall notify each Pre-emptive Shareholder in writing of the number of New Securities that each Pre-emptive Shareholder has agreed to purchase (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where such number is zero) (the “Over-allotment Notice”). Each Pre-emptive Shareholder exercising its right to purchase its Pre-emptive Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities in full (an “Exercising Shareholder”) shall have a right of over-allotment such that if any other Pre-emptive Shareholder fails to exercise its right under this Section 4.01 to purchase its Pre-emptive Pro Rata Portion of the New Securities (each, a “Non-Exercising Shareholder”), such Exercising Shareholder may purchase all or any portion of such Non-Exercising Shareholder’s allotment (the “Over-allotment New Securities”) by giving written notice to the Company (within five Business Days of receipt of the Over-allotment Notice) setting forth the number of Over-allotment New Securities that such Exercising Shareholder is willing to purchase (the “Over-allotment Exercise Period”). Such Exercising Shareholder’s election to purchase Over-allotment New Securities shall be binding and irrevocable. If more than one Exercising Shareholder elects to exercise its right of over-allotment, each Exercising Shareholder shall have the right to purchase the number of Over-allotment New Securities it elected to purchase in its written notice; provided, that if the over-allotment New Securities are over-subscribed, each Exercising Shareholder shall purchase its pro rata portion of the available Over-allotment New Securities based upon the relative Pre-emptive Pro Rata Portions of the Exercising Shareholders.
(e) The Company shall be free to complete the proposed issuance or sale of New Securities described in the Issuance Notice with respect to any New Securities not elected to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.01(c) and Section 4.01(d) above in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Issuance Notice (except that the amount of New Securities to be issued or sold by the Company may be reduced) so long as such issuance or sale is closed within 180 days after the expiration of the Over-allotment Exercise Period (subject to the extension of such 180-day period for a reasonable time not to exceed 270 days to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain any Government Approvals). In the event the Company has not sold such New Securities within such time period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without first again offering such securities to the Shareholders in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.01.
(f) Upon the consummation of the issuance of any New Securities in accordance with this Section 4.01, the Company shall deliver to each Exercising Shareholder certificates (if any) evidencing the New Securities, which New Securities shall be issued free and clear of any Liens (other than those arising hereunder or under Applicable Law and those attributable to the actions of the purchasers thereof), and the Company shall so represent and warrant to the purchasers thereof, and further represent and warrant to such purchasers that such New Securities shall be, upon issuance thereof to the Exercising Shareholders and after payment therefor, duly authorized and validly issued. Each Exercising Shareholder shall deliver to the Company the purchase price for the New Securities purchased by it by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Each party to the purchase and sale of New Securities shall take all such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the purchase and sale including entering into such additional agreements as may be necessary or appropriate.
Preservation of Purchase Rights Upon Merger, Consolidation, etc In case of any consolidation of the Company with or merger of the Company into another corporation or in case of any sale, transfer or lease to another corporation of all or substantially all of the property of the Company, the Company or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute with the Warrantholders an agreement that the Warrantholders shall have the right thereafter upon payment of the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such action to purchase upon exercise of this Warrant the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property which such holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or lease had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such action; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no adjustment in respect of cash dividends, interest or other income on or from such shares or other securities and property shall be made during the term of this Warrant or upon the exercise of this Warrant. Such agreement shall provide for adjustments, which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 5. The provisions of this Section 5 shall apply similarly to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or leases.
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.
Distribution of Additional Shares, Rights, etc If the Company or any affiliate of the Company determines to make any issuance or distribution of (1) additional Shares, (2) rights to subscribe for Shares, (3) securities convertible into Shares, or (4) rights to subscribe for such securities (each a “Distribution”), the Company shall notify the Depositary in writing in English as promptly as practicable and in any event before the Distribution starts and, if requested in writing by the Depositary, the Company shall promptly furnish to the Depositary a written opinion from U.S. counsel for the Company that is reasonably satisfactory to the Depositary, stating whether or not the Distribution requires, or, if made in the United States, would require, registration under the Securities Act of 1933. If, in the opinion of that counsel, the Distribution requires, or, if made in the United States, would require, registration under the Securities Act of 1933, that counsel shall furnish to the Depositary a written opinion as to whether or not there is a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 in effect that will cover that Distribution. The Company agrees with the Depositary that neither the Company nor any company controlled by, controlling or under common control with the Company will at any time deposit any Shares, either originally issued or previously issued and reacquired by the Company or any such affiliate, unless a Registration Statement is in effect as to such Shares under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Company delivers to the Depositary an opinion of United States counsel, satisfactory to the Depositary, to the effect that, upon deposit, those Shares will be eligible for public resale in the United States without further registration under the Securities Act of 1933.
