SAFE
(Simple Agreement for Future Equity)
THIS SIMPLE AGREEMENT FOR FUTURE EQUITY is entered into as of August 30, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), according to which in exchange for the payment by Shy Datika (the “Investor”) of US$ 100,00 (the “Purchase Amount”), to INX Limited, a private company incorporated under the laws of Gibraltar (the “Company”), the Investor shall have the right to receive certain shares of the Company’s share capital, subject to the terms set forth below.
1. | Issuance of Shares; Option. |
1.1. | In consideration for the Purchase Amount, immediately upon the consummation of an investment amount of no less than US$ 2 million (excluding any funds provided to the Company under the Round) which will be invested in the Company in consideration for issuance of Company’s shares (“Qualified Financing”), the Company will automatically issue to the Investor such number of Safe Equity Shares to reflect a price per each such Safe Equity Share that reflects the lower of: (i) 25% discount on the base (undiscounted) price per share in such round; and (ii) US$ 1.367 (the “Default Conversion Price”). If a Qualified Financing shall not be consummated within 12 months as of the Effective Date, the Company will automatically issue to the Investor such number of Safe Equity Shares to reflect a price per share equal to the Default Conversion Price (“Conversion Upon Maturity”). |
The parties hereto acknowledge that this Agreement is being executed as part of a financing round, pursuant to which the Company intends to execute several Simple Agreements for Future Equity in the same or substantially the same form of this Agreement, until not later than October 1, 2019 (the “Round”). The parties agree that that the total aggregate amount raised by the Company under the Round shall not exceed US$ 1,000,000 and shall not be less than US$ 350,000 (the “Minimum Amount”). In the event that the total aggregate amount raised by the Company under the Round shall be lower than the Minimum Amount, then each of the Company or the Investor, shall be entitled, at its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement. In such event the Investor shall not pay the Purchase Amount to the Company and to the extent that it is already paid to the Company the Purchase Amount or any potion thereof, the Company shall promptly return such amount to the Investor upon its written notice notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein.
In addition to the Safe Equity Shares that will be issued to the Investor upon conversion of the Purchase Amount (and unless this Agreement be terminated prior to the conversion in accordance with Section 1.2 below), immediately following and subject to such issuance, the Investor shall receive from the Company, in addition to the Safe Equity Shares issued in its name, an option to purchase an additional identical number of Safe Equity Shares, from the same class of the Safe Equity Shares issued to the Investor upon such conversion (the “Option”).
1
The Option shall be valid for a period of 36 months commencing as of the Effective Date and thereafter shall lapse. The exercise price of each share underlying the Option shall be US$ 1.953 per share.
Termination. This instrument will expire and terminate upon either the issuance of shares to the Investor pursuant to Section 1.1 above, or upon an Event of Default pursuant to Section 3 below.
In connection with (and as a condition thereto) the issuance (or the transfer, as applicable) of shares by the Company to the Investor and to the Option pursuant to Section 1.1 above, the Investor will execute and deliver to the Company all transaction documents related to the Qualified Financing that triggered the conversion, as may be reasonably requested by the Company; provided, that such documents are the same documents to be entered into with the other parties with respect to such event, and provided further, that such documents have customary exceptions to any drag-along applicable to the Investor, including, without limitation, limited representations and warranties and limited liability and indemnification obligations on the part of the Investor, and provided further, that, in no event shall the Investor be required as a condition of the issuance (or transfer, as applicable) of Safe Equity Shares (unless Investor otherwise agrees) to: 1) provide a personal guaranty, 2) become personally liable, individually, jointly or severally, for any indemnification or other personal liability, 3) grant rights to the Company (other than as set forth herein) or to any third party to purchase any of the Investor’s interest in the Company (other than as set forth under any applicable law and/or in the Company’s governing documents, as amended from time to time), or 4) agree to a restrictive covenant regarding competition or confidentiality more restrictive than the covenants contained in other agreement between the Investor (or any of its affiliates or shareholders) and the Company.
2. | Transfer of the Purchase Amount. |
The Investor shall transfer the Purchase Amount to Company’s bank account in accordance with the instructions of the Company within 3 business days as of the Effective Date (the “Closing”).
3. | Event of Default. |
Notwithstanding the aforesaid, if an Event of Default (defined below) occurs before this instrument expires or terminates including before the conversion triggering event set forth in Section 1.1. or Conversion Upon Maturity, the Company will pay to the Investor, immediately prior to, or concurrent with, the consummation of such Event of Default, an amount equal to the Purchase Amount. The Purchase Amount will be paid prior to and in preference of any payment of outstanding indebtedness and creditor claims, including contractual claims for payment and convertible promissory notes. If immediately prior to the consummation of the Event of Default, the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to the Investor and all holders of all other Safes (the “Dissolving Investors”), as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors, are insufficient to permit the payment to the Dissolving Investors of their respective purchase amounts, then the entire assets of the Company legally available for distribution will be distributed with equal priority and pro rata among the Dissolving Investors in proportion to the Purchase Amounts they would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 3 (pro rata calculated based on the actual safe amounts transferred by the applicable Dissolving Investor divided by the total purchase amounts actually transferred by all Dissolving Investors).
“Event of Default”: (a) if the Company shall cease the conduct of its business for any consecutive sixty (60) day period; (b) the commencement by the Company of any liquidation proceedings or the adoption of a winding up resolution by the Company, or the appointment of a receiver or trustee over all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, which appointment has not been dismissed within sixty (60) days; (c) the commencement by third parties of any liquidation proceedings, which have not been terminated within sixty (60) days thereafter; (d) if the Company calls a meeting of creditors for the purpose of entering into a scheme or arrangement with them; or (e) if the Company adopts one or more resolutions for dissolution, liquidation, bankruptcy or winding-up of the Company.
