AGREEMENT
The parties agree as follows:
1. | Purchase and Sale of Class A Ordinary Shares. |
1.1 | Sale and Issuance of Class A Ordinary Shares. The Company agrees to issue by way of a capital increase and sell to the Investors, and the Investors agree to purchase from the Company Class A Ordinary Shares, in the aggregate sum of $158,999,998.06 (the “Investment Amount”) at the IPO Price per Class A Ordinary Share pursuant to a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in accordance with Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The number of Class A Ordinary Shares to be sold by the Company and purchased by the Investors hereunder (the “Shares”) shall equal the number of Class A Ordinary Shares determined by dividing the Investment Amount by the IPO Price (rounded down to the nearest whole Class A Ordinary Share). The Company shall issue the Shares by way of a capital increase whereby the Company shall cause Sports Data AG, following the IPO an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to subscribe for the Shares and cause the transfer to the Investors thereafter. |
1.2 | Payment of the purchase price (which shall be equal to the total number of Shares to be purchased by the Investors, as calculated pursuant to the second preceding sentence, multiplied by the IPO Price) for the Shares (the “Purchase Price”) shall be made at the Closing (as defined below) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified in writing by the Company to the Investors, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Payment of the Purchase Price for the Shares shall be made against delivery to the Investors of the Shares within two business days following payment of the Purchase Price (unless the settlement process takes longer notwithstanding all reasonable efforts by the Company to complete |
the same, in which case the Company will provide evidence to the Investors that the settlement process has commenced and provide same-day updates on the settlement process to an Investor upon its request and in any case complete settlement by the fifth business day following payment of the Purchase Price), which Shares shall be uncertificated and shall be registered in the name of the applicable Investor on the books of the Company by American Stock & Transfer, LLC, the Company’s transfer agent. No later than two days prior to the Closing, the Investors may (in their discretion, and if they so agree amongst themselves) deliver to the Company an updated Schedule A, setting forth the number of Shares to be purchased by each Investor and the corresponding portion of the Purchase Price to be paid by each such Investor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. |
1.3 | Closing. The closing of the sale of the Shares and payment of the Purchase Price (the “Closing”) will take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures after the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4 and Section 5 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions). |
2. | Representations and Warranties of the Company. |
The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Investors that the following representations are true and correct as of the date hereof and as of the Closing (except to the extent any such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties are true and correct as of such earlier date).

2.2 Registration Statement. The Registration Statement and any prospectus contained therein will not, as of the filing date of such Registration Statement, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. “Registration Statement” means the registration statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-258882), including any prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, and any free writing prospectuses, relating to the IPO.
2.3 Authorization. All corporate action on the part of the Company, its officers, directors and shareholders necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder, and the authorization, issuance, sale and delivery of the Shares, has been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing, and this Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (b) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.
2.4 Valid Issuance of Shares. The Shares that are being purchased by the Investors 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, non-assessable (i.e., no further contributions in respect thereof will be required to be made to the Company by the holders thereof, by the sole reason of their being a holder of Class A Ordinary Shares) and will be transferred to the Investors free of liens, encumbrances and restrictions on transfer other than (a) restrictions on transfer under this Agreement and under applicable state and federal securities laws, (b) restrictions on transfer under the lock-up agreement entered into by the Investors for the benefit of the Underwriters in the IPO, (c) restrictions on the voting rights and registration as shareholders as laid out in our Amended Articles (as defined in the Registration Statement) and (d) any liens, encumbrances or restrictions on transfer that are created or imposed by the Investors.

No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any governmental authority is required on the part of the Company in connection with such offer and sale of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement, except for filings pursuant to applicable state securities laws.
2.7 Other than the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has not entered into any side letter or similar agreement with any subscriber or investor in connection with a direct or indirect investment in the Company on terms with respect to the purchase of Class A Ordinary Shares more favorable to such subscriber or investor than the terms of this Agreement.

3. | Representations and Warranties of the Investors. |
Each Investor, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants to the Company that the following representations are true and correct as of the date hereof and as of the Closing (except to the extent any such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties are true and correct as of such earlier date).

3.3 Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with the Investor in reliance upon the Investor’s representations to the Company, which by the Investor’s execution of this Agreement the Investor hereby confirms, that the Shares acquired by the Investor hereunder will be acquired for investment for the Investor’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same, except as permitted by applicable federal or state securities laws. By executing this Agreement, the Investor further represents that the Investor does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation rights to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Shares.

3.6 Investment Experience. The Investor understands that the purchase of the Shares involves substantial risk. The Investor has experience as an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that the Investor is able to fend for itself, can bear the economic risk of the Investor’s investment in the Shares, including a complete loss of the investment, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that the Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment in the Shares and protecting its own interests in connection with this investment.

3.8 Restricted Securities. The Investor understands that the Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under the Securities Act and applicable regulations thereunder such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. The Investor represents that the Investor is familiar with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY MAY BE REQUIRED TO BEAR THE FINANCIAL RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO A 180 DAY LOCK-UP AGREEMENT EXECUTED BY THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER.

If the Company proposes to conduct a registered offering of, or if the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the registration of, equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into equity securities, for its own account or for the account of the Significant Shareholders, other than a registration statement (or any registered offering with respect thereto) (i) filed in connection with any employee share option or other benefit plan, including any registration statement on Form S-8, (ii) on Form F-4 or S-4 (or similar form that relates to a transaction subject to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto), (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Company, (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, or (v) for a Block Trade (as defined below), then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed offering to all of the Eligible Investors holding Registrable Securities not less than five days before the anticipated filing date of the relevant registration statement or, in the case of an underwritten offering pursuant to a shelf registration, the applicable “red xxxxxxx” prospectus or prospectus supplement used for marketing such offering, which notice shall (A) describe the expected amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, in such offering, and (B) offer to all of the Eligible Investors holding Registrable Securities the opportunity to include in such registered offering such number of Registrable Securities as such Eligible Investors may request in writing within two days after receipt of such written notice (such registered offering, a “Piggyback Registration”, and the Eligible Investors making such request, the “Requesting Piggyback Holders”). Subject to Section 6.1(1), the Company shall, in good faith, cause such Registrable Securities so requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration and, if applicable, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of such Piggyback Registration to permit such Registrable Securities to be included therein on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company included in such registered offering and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. The inclusion of any Eligible Investor’s Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Registration shall be subject to such Eligible Investor’s agreement to enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter(s) selected for such underwritten offering.
For purposes hereof:
“Eligible Investor” means any Investor or Affiliate (as defined below) of such Investor that purchased any Shares pursuant to this Agreement;
“Significant Shareholders” means shareholders of the Company holding in excess of 5% of the total share capital of the Company; and
6
“Registrable Security” shall mean any of the Class A Ordinary Shares held by the Eligible Investor other than to the extent: (A) a registration statement with respect to the sale of such securities shall have become effective under the Securities Act and such securities shall have been sold, transferred, disposed of or exchanged in accordance with such registration statement; (B) such securities shall have ceased to be outstanding; (C) such securities have been sold without registration pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the SEC); and (D) such securities have been sold to, or through, a broker, dealer or underwriter in a public distribution or other public securities transaction.

If the managing underwriter or underwriters in an underwritten offering that is to be a Piggyback Registration, in good faith, advises the Company and the Requesting Piggyback Holders pursuant to this Section 6.1 in writing that the dollar amount or number of Class A Ordinary Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, taken together with the Class A Ordinary Shares or other equity securities, if any, as to which registration or a registered offering has been demanded or requested by Requesting Piggyback Holders or Significant Shareholders exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the underwritten offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of such securities, as applicable, the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then (x) if the registration or registered offering is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such registration or registered offering the Class A Ordinary Shares (or other equity securities) in the following order of priority, without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities:
(A) | first, all Class A Ordinary Shares the Company desires to sell; |
(B) | second, all Class A Ordinary Shares desired to be sold by the Requesting Piggyback Holders and Significant Shareholders desire to sell. As between the Requesting Piggyback Holders and Significant Shareholders, the remaining Class A Ordinary Shares (or other equity securities) shall be allocated 25% for the Eligible Investors (as between the Eligible Investors pro rata based on the respective number of Shares that each such Eligible Investor have requested to be included), and 75% for the Significant Shareholders (pursuant to any agreement between them with respect to pro rata cut backs in a registered offering); |
(C) | third, all other holders so entitled to participate pursuant to any agreement with respect to such rights; and |
(y) if the registration or registered offering is undertaken pursuant to request of a Significant Shareholder the Company shall include in any such registration or registered offering the Class A Ordinary Shares (or other equity securities) in the order of priority set out in paragraphs (B) and (C) immediately above, without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.
(2) Piggyback Registration Withdrawal. Any Requesting Piggyback Holder shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the underwriter or underwriters (if any) of its intention to withdraw from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement filed with the SEC with respect to such Piggyback Registration or, in the case of a Piggyback Registration pursuant to a shelf registration, the filing of the applicable “red xxxxxxx” prospectus or prospectus supplement with respect to such Piggyback Registration used for marketing such transaction. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a registration statement filed with the SEC in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such registration statement. The Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal.
(3) Investor Information. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6 to the contrary, the Investor may not participate in any underwritten offering pursuant to this Section 6.1 unless the Investor (x) agrees to sell the Investor’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (y) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

6.2 Registration Expenses. All Registration Expenses shall be borne by the Company.

For purposes hereof, “Registration Expenses” shall mean the out-of-pocket expenses of a the relevant registration, including, without limitation, the following: (A) all registration and filing fees (including fees with respect to filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.) and any national securities exchange on which the Class A Ordinary Shares are then listed; (B) fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel for the underwriters in connection with blue sky qualifications of Registrable Securities); (C) printing, messenger, telephone and delivery expenses; (D) reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company; and (E) reasonable fees and disbursements of all independent registered public accountants of the Company incurred in connection with such registration.
6.3 Block Trades. For purposes hereof, “Block Trade” means an offering not involving a “roadshow,” commonly known as a “block trade.” Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6, at any time and from time to time when an effective registration statement in respect of any Shares is on file with the SEC, if the Investor wishes to engage in a Block Trade that comprises all the Registrable Securities held by the Investor, then the Investor only needs to notify the Company of the Block Trade at least five business days prior to the day such offering is to commence and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such Block Trade by providing access to management and assisting with due diligence. Section 6.1 shall not apply to a Block Trade. The Investor shall have the right to select the placement agents, underwriters or sales agents for such Block Trade (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks).
6.4 Company support. In the case of a Block Trade or a sale by the Investor effected or executed through a broker, placement agent or sales agent (subject to such broker, placement agent or sales agent providing such certifications or representations reasonably requested by the Company’s independent registered public accountants and the Company’s counsel), at its expense the Company shall: (1) request the Company’s independent registered public accountants to provide a “cold comfort” letter, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters, and reasonably satisfactory to the Investor and the applicable broker, placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the underwriters, if any; (2) request the Company’s counsel to provide an opinion and negative assurance letter with respect to such offering addressed to the Investor and to the broker, placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the offering in respect of which such opinion is being given as the Investor, or such broker, placement agent, sales agent or underwriters, may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters; (3) enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement or distribution agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter, broker, placement agent or sales agent of such offering or sale; and (4) otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Investor and the broker, placement agent or sales agent, if any, and underwriters, if any, as applicable, in connection with such offering or sale.
6.5 With a view to making available to the Investor the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Investor to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration, the Company agrees, until all Investor’s Shares are sold by the Investor, to:
(1) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
(2) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144;
