(A)On 5 April 2020, the Parties entered into an agreement entitled “Issuance and Subscription Agreement for bonds with an option for exchange in cash and/or conversion into new or existing shares (ORNANEs)” (the “Agreement”). Capitalized terms shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Agreement.
(B)On 15 April 2020, the Issuer sent a Notification of Exercise regarding the issuance of the first Tranche, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.
(C) | Article 3.1 of the Agreement provides that the Subscriber undertakes not to request conversion of the Bonds issued in relation to the first Tranche until the passing of the 2020 Shareholders’ Meeting Resolutions. In consideration for such undertaking, the Issuer shall pay interest on the first Tranche of the Bonds at an annual interest rate of ten percent (10%) until the passing of the 2020 Shareholders’ Meeting Resolutions. |
(D) | Pursuant to an agreement letter dated 15 April 2020 (the “Letter Agreement”), the Parties acknowledged and agreed that, as at the date of the Notification of Exercise regarding the issuance of the first Tranche, the number of Shares that may be issued under the 2019 Shareholders’ Meeting Resolutions was not sufficient to serve the conversion of the first Tranche. |
- 2 -
(E) | Therefore, the Parties expressly, irrevocably and unconditionally agreed in the Letter Agreement that the principal amount of the first Tranche issued pursuant to the Notification of Exercise dated 15 April 2020 shall be repaid by way of set-off against the subscription by the Subscriber to an additional Tranche which the Subscriber undertakes to subscribe within ten (10) Business Days of the passing of the 2020 Shareholders’ Meeting Resolutions. On 18 June 2020, the Parties entered into an amendment agreement (the “First Amendment Agreement”) by which they agreed that the subscription to the Bonds shall be reserved for the benefit of the Subscriber as regards any other Tranche than the first Tranche in compliance with the 2020 Shareholders’ Meeting Resolutions. |

On the date hereof, all Bonds issued as part of the Replacement Tranche, the second Tranche and the third Tranche were either converted into Shares or repaid in cash by the Issuer.
(G)As at the date hereof, the number of new securities that may be issued pursuant to the 2020 Shareholders’ Meeting Resolutions is not sufficient to serve the conversion into Shares of any new Tranche under the Agreement.
(H)On 10 May 2021, the shareholders of the Issuer passed shareholder resolutions authorizing the Board and granting it a delegation of powers under articles L. 225-129 et seq. of the French Commercial Code for the purpose of issuing securities such as the Bonds (the “2021 Shareholders’ Meeting Resolutions”).
(I)Therefore, the Parties have agreed to amend the Agreement in order to expressly provide that any new Tranche issued under the Agreement shall be issued pursuant to and in accordance with the 2021 Shareholders’ Meeting Resolutions, subject to and in accordance with the terms set out in this second amendment agreement (the “Second Amendment Agreement”).
