For the avoidance of doubt, the Pro Rata Percentage is to be reduced only by voluntary sales of Securities by GF Canco (or other members of the GF Group) or as a result of GF Canco failing to exercise its Pre-Emptive Right when available to be exercised in respect of any Equity Financing. The Pre-Emptive Right may be exercised as part of the Equity Financing at the subscription price per Offered Security under the Equity Financing and otherwise on substantially the terms and conditions of the Equity Financing (provided that, if GF Canco is prohibited by Canadian Securities Laws or other Applicable Law from participating on substantially the terms and conditions of the Equity Financing, Asanko shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enable GF Canco to participate on terms and conditions that are as substantially similar as circumstances permit) as follows: (a) in the case of an Equity Financing that includes Common Shares, up to such number of Common Shares that will allow GF Canco to acquire, or maintain, as applicable, a percentage ownership interest in the Common Shares equal to the lesser of 9.9% or its Pro Rata Percentage of the issued and outstanding Common Shares after giving effect to such Equity Financing; and (b) in the case of an Equity Financing that includes Offered Securities other than Common Shares, up to such number of such Offered Securities that will (after giving effect to the Equity Financing and assuming conversion, exercise or exchange of all of the convertible, exercisable or exchangeable Offered Securities issued in connection with the Equity Financing and issuable pursuant to this Section 2.1) allow GF Canco to acquire, or maintain, as applicable, a percentage ownership interest in the Common Shares equal to the lesser of 9.9% and its Pro Rata Percentage of the issued and outstanding Common Shares after giving effect to such Equity Financing and assuming conversion, exercise or exchange of all of the convertible, exercisable or exchangeable Offered Securities issued in connection with the Equity Financing. The determinations above will take into account any additional Offered Securities which will be issued to any other person pursuant to any pre-emptive or similar rights held by such person in respect of such Equity Financing (“Other Pre-Emptive Securities”) including any additional Other Pre-Emptive Securities which may be issuable as a result of GF Canco’s exercise of its Pre-Emptive Right immediately prior to the closing of the Equity Financing.
