The purpose of the escrow shall be to ensure the delivery of (the part of) the Founder Escrowed Shares in the event of an acquisition by the Company in accordance with this Section 2.8. For the avoidance of doubt, the other fifty percent (50%), rounded down to the nearest whole Company Ordinary Share, of the Company Ordinary Shares that shall have been issued to the members of the Founder Group in exchange for their respective IIAC Class B Shares shall be retained by such members and shall not be held in escrow. The last sentence of Section 2.3 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the selection of the Escrowed Shares Escrow Agent.

(b) Procedures Applicable to the Escrow of the Founder Escrowed Shares.

(i) Upon receipt of the Founder Escrowed Shares, the Escrowed Shares Escrow Agent shall place such Founder Escrowed Shares in an escrow account (the “Escrowed Shares Escrow Account”) established pursuant to an escrow agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, the Escrowed Shares Escrow Agent and the members of the Founder Group, to be entered into at the Closing by the Company, the Escrowed Shares Escrow Agent and the members of the Founder Group (the “Escrowed Shares Escrow Agreement”).

(ii) Promptly upon the occurrence of any triggering event described in Section 2.8(c) below, or as soon as practicable after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of such triggering event or receives written notice of a triggering event from any member of the Founder Group, the Company shall prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, in consultation with the Founder Group, a mutually agreeable written notice to the Escrowed Shares Escrow Agent (a “Release Notice”), which Release Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the triggering event giving rise to the requested release and the specific release instructions with respect thereto (including the number of Founder Escrowed Shares to be released and the identity of the person to whom they should be released). The Company shall negotiate in good faith with the Founder Group to resolve any disputes that may arise between any of them with respect to the determination of the occurrence of a triggering event and the preparation of the applicable Release Notice provided, that the resolution of any such dispute shall ultimately be made by the Company in good faith.

(iii) The Founder Escrowed Shares that are to be released from the Escrowed Shares Escrow Account and distributed to the Founder Group shall be distributed to each member of the Founder Group on a Pro Rata Basis, where any fractional entitlements are settled among the Founder Group as determined by the Escrowed Shares Escrow Agent.

(iv) Any dividends or other distributions attributable to the Founder Escrowed Shares (less any applicable Tax or similar charges levied upon or attributable thereto, including Tax levied by the jurisdiction of tax residency of each respective beneficial owner thereof (which such amounts shall be released to or on behalf of the applicable beneficial-owner member of the Founder Group)) shall be held in escrow in the Escrowed Shares Escrow Account by the Escrowed Shares Escrow Agent and released to the applicable member of the Founder Group if and when the corresponding Founder Escrowed Shares are released to such member; provided, that in case of acquisition of any Founder Escrowed Shares by the Company (as described in Section 2.8(b)(vii)), then such amounts (less any applicable Tax or similar charges levied upon or attributable thereto, including Tax levied by the jurisdiction of tax residency of each respective beneficial owner thereof) shall be first contributed by the Founder Group to the Company (either as a capital contribution on such Founder Escrowed Shares or in consideration of the issuance of new Company Ordinary Shares) and immediately thereafter such Founder Escrowed Shares (or new Company Ordinary Shares issued in respect of the aforementioned contribution) shall be so acquired by the Company for no consideration. The Founder Group (or their respective Affiliates) shall be the sole beneficiary(ies) of any escrow account in which the Founder Escrowed Shares and any cash or other property distributed thereon are held, and the Founder Group (or such successors and assigns, as applicable) shall be treated for Tax purposes as the “Tax owners” of each Escrowed Shares Escrow Account and the Founder Escrowed Shares, cash and other properties held therein (and the same shall be stipulated in any related escrow or account control agreement); provided, that the Founder Escrowed Shares and any cash or other property distributed thereon will be subject to the conditions on contribution and acquisition by the Company described herein. Any interest or similar amounts earned in any such Escrowed Shares Escrow Account shall be the exclusive property of the Founder Group as and when such amounts are received and shall not be subject to the conditions on contribution and acquisition by the Company described herein.

(v) The price triggers for the lapse of the conditions on contribution and acquisition by the Company described herein and consequently the release of Founder Escrowed Shares described in Section 2.8(c) shall be subject to customary adjustments for any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, split, combination, exchange of shares, merger or any similar event.

(vi) All Founder Escrowed Shares shall, upon issuance, be subject to the terms of the Shareholders Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Lock-Up Agreement, as may be applicable.

(vii) For the avoidance of doubt, except as provided by Section 2.8(b)(iv), no additional Company Ordinary Shares will be placed in the Escrowed Shares Escrow Account for release or issuance pursuant to this Section 2.8, and upon release of all of the Founder Escrowed Shares in the Escrowed Shares Escrow Account, the Escrowed Shares Escrow Agreement shall terminate pursuant to its terms and the provisions of this Section 2.8 shall no longer have any force or effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Founder Escrowed Shares not eligible to be released from the Escrowed Shares Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of Section 2.8(c) after the lapse of the seven (7)-year anniversary of the Closing Date shall thereafter be acquired by the Company for no consideration, and thereafter no member of the Founder Group shall have any rights with respect to such Founder Escrowed Shares.

(c) Release of the Founder Escrowed Shares. The conditions on contribution and acquisition by the Company described herein shall cease to apply and consequently the Founder Escrowed Shares shall be released and transferred as follows:

(i) seventy percent (70%), rounded up to the nearest whole number, of the Founder Escrowed Shares shall be released from the Escrowed Shares Escrow Account and transferred to the applicable Founder Group member on a Pro Rata Basis, where any fractional entitlements are settled among the Founder Group as determined by the Escrowed Shares Escrow Agent, in accordance with Section 2.8(b) upon receipt of the applicable Release Notice by the Escrowed Shares Escrow Agent if the Volume Weighted Average Share Price equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for any twenty (20) Trading Days within any consecutive thirty (30) Trading Day period commencing after the Closing (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.8(b)(v));

(ii) one hundred percent (100%) of the Founder Escrowed Shares that are at that time in the Escrowed Shares Escrow Account shall be released from the Escrowed Shares Escrow Account and transferred to the applicable Founder Group member on a Pro Rata Basis, where any fractional entitlements are settled among the Founder Group as determined by the Escrowed Shares Escrow Agent, in accordance with Section 2.8(b) upon receipt of the applicable Release Notice by the Escrowed Shares Escrow Agent if the Volume Weighted Average Share Price equals or exceeds $15.00 per share for any twenty (20) Trading Days within any consecutive thirty (30) Trading Day period commencing after the Closing (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.8(b)(v)); or

(iii) one hundred percent (100%) of the Founder Escrowed Shares that are at that time in the Escrowed Shares Escrow Account shall be released from the Escrowed Shares Escrow Account and transferred to the applicable Founder Group member on a Pro Rata Basis, where any fractional entitlements are settled among the Founder Group as determined by the Escrowed Shares Escrow Agent, in accordance with Section 2.8(b) upon receipt of the applicable Release Notice by the Escrowed Shares Escrow Agent if the Company consummates a transaction which results in a Change of Control of the Company or if the Company Ordinary Shares cease to be listed or traded on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, if the condition for more than one triggering event is met pursuant to Section 2.8(c), then all of the Founder Escrowed Shares to be released and transferred in connection with each such triggering event shall be released and delivered to the applicable members of the Founder Group in accordance with this Section 2.8.

(b) The Company shall not have any obligation under this Section 6.16 to any D&O Person when and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine (and such determination shall have become final and non-appealable) that the indemnification of such D&O Person in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.

(c) The Company shall purchase, at or prior to the Closing, and maintain in effect for a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, without lapses in coverage, a “tail” policy providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the benefit of those Persons who are currently covered by any comparable insurance policies of IIAC as of the date hereof with respect to matters occurring on or prior to the Closing (the “IIAC D&O Tail Policy”). Such “tail” policy shall provide coverage on terms (with respect to coverage and amount) that are substantially the same as the coverage provided under the IIAC’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies as of the date hereof; provided that the Company shall not pay a premium for such “tail” policy in excess of 250% of the most recent total premium paid by IIAC prior to the date of this Agreement and, in such event, the Company shall purchase the maximum coverage available for 250% of the most recent total premium paid by IIAC prior to the date of this Agreement.

(d) If the Company, any other Group Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) shall merge or consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the surviving or continuing corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of their respective properties and assets as an entity in one or a series of related transactions to any Person, then in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors or assigns of the Company or such Group Company shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.16.

(e) The D&O Persons entitled to the indemnification, liability limitation, exculpation and insurance set forth in this Section 6.16 are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.16. This Section 6.16 shall survive the consummation of the Transactions and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Company.

Xxxxxx; provided, that in the event that Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx is unwilling or unable (whether due to death, disability or otherwise) to serve as a director, then, prior to the mailing of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement to the Pre-Closing IIAC Holders, the Sponsor may nominate a replacement for such individual to serve as such director, subject to the consent of the Company in its discretion.

(c) Prior to the mailing of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement with the SEC, the Company shall designate ten (10) individuals to serve as directors on the Company Board immediately after the Closing for a one year term, one of whom shall be Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx; provided, that in the event that Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx is unwilling or unable (whether due to death, disability or otherwise) to serve as a director, then, prior to the mailing of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement to the Pre-Closing IIAC Holders, the Company may replace such individual with another individual to serve as such director.

IIAC and its Representatives shall give the Company and its pertinent Representatives a reasonable opportunity to review the amendment described in this Section 6.22 and will consider in good faith any comments thereto, and the execution of such amendment shall require the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Section 6.23 Ancillary Documents.

The Additional Financial Statements (including the notes thereto), when so delivered, (a) will be prepared in accordance with IFRS and with applicable Law applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto), and (b) will fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Group Companies (consolidated) as at the date thereof and for the period indicated therein.

Section 6.25 Tax Matters. The Company shall cause IIAC to make available to Pre-Closing IIAC Holders information reasonably necessary to compute income of any such holder (or its direct or indirect owners) arising as a result of IIAC’s potential status as a “passive foreign investment company” within the meaning of Section 1297(a) of the Code for any period ending on or prior to the Closing, including timely providing a PFIC Annual Information Statement to enable such holders to make a “Qualifying Electing Fund” election under Section 1295 of the Code for such period.

Section 6.26 280G. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to secure from each person who has a right to any payments and/or benefits as a result of or in connection with the transactions contemplated herein that would be deemed to constitute “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder) a waiver of such person’s rights to some or all of such payments and/or benefits (the “Waived 280G Benefits”) applicable to such person so that all remaining payments and/or benefits applicable to such person shall not be deemed to be “excess parachute payments” that would not be deductible under Section 280G of the Code and (b) seek the approval of its stockholders who are entitled to vote in a manner that complies with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, which shall include adequate written disclosure to all stockholders who are entitled to vote prior to such vote, of any such Waived 280G Benefits. Within ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall forward to IIAC the parachute payment calculations prepared by the Company and/or its advisors. Additionally, at least five (5) Business Days prior to obtaining the Section 280G waivers, and prior to seeking such stockholder approval, the Company shall provide drafts of such waivers and such stockholder approval materials to IIAC for its review and comment and the Company shall consider IIAC’s comments thereon in good faith. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to IIAC evidence that a vote of the Company’s stockholders who are entitled to vote was solicited in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.26. The Company shall not be required to fulfill the obligations of this Section 6.26 if, prior to the

The inclusion of any item in the Schedules is neither (a) an admission or determination that such item is material or has had or is reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect nor (b) a basis for interpreting the terms “material” or “Company Material Adverse Effect.” Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the information disclosed in the Company Disclosure Schedules is for the benefit only of the Parties.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party and its successors and permitted assigns and, except as provided in Section 6.16 (Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance), the last sentence of this Section 9.9 (Parties in Interest) and Section 9.13 (No Recourse), nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 9.10 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the Transactions are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 9.11 Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement and each Ancillary Document (including any of the closing deliverables contemplated hereby) may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 9.12 Knowledge of Company; Knowledge of IIAC. For all purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “to the Company’s knowledge” and “known by the Company” and any derivations thereof shall mean as of the applicable date, the actual knowledge of the individuals set forth on Section 9.12(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedules.

Section 9.13 No Recourse. Without limiting any rights of any party against any other party to an Ancillary Document to the extent on the terms and subject to the conditions thereunder or the Liabilities of any party to an Ancillary Document to the extent arising from a claim against such party by another party to such agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions thereunder, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transactions may only be brought by and against, the Parties, and then only with respect to the specific covenants, agreements, obligations, representations and warranties set forth herein with respect to such Party. Without limiting any rights of any party against another party to an Ancillary Document to the extent on the terms and subject to the conditions thereunder or the Liabilities of any party to an Ancillary Document to the extent arising from a claim against such party by another party to such agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions thereunder, except for the Parties (and then only to the extent of the specific covenants, agreements, obligations, representations and warranties undertaken by such named party in this Agreement), (a) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any named party to this Agreement and (b) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any one or more of the Company, Merger Sub or IIAC under this Agreement of or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transactions.

Any agreement on the part of any such Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such Party. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement. The failure of any Party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

Section 9.15 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY PROCEEDING, CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (I) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY ANCILLARY DOCUMENT OR (II) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY DOCUMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO OR ANY

FINANCING IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING, CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

Section 9.16 Arbitration. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that any Proceeding based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement, any Ancillary Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (each a “Related Proceeding”) shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the Swiss Rules of International Arbitration of the Swiss Centre (the “Rules”) in force on the date on which the Notice of Arbitration is submitted in accordance with those Rules. The arbitral tribunal shall be composed of three arbitrators, appointed in accordance with the Rules. The seat of the arbitration shall be in Geneva, Switzerland. Each arbitrator must be (a) an attorney with significant experience with complex cross-border commercial transactions with appropriate experience in New York contract law and (b) neutral and independent of each Party. The arbitrators may enter a default decision against any Party who fails to participate in the arbitration proceedings with respect to any Related Proceeding. The language of the proceeding shall be English. The decision of the arbitrators on the points in dispute will be final, unappealable and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The Parties and the arbitrators will keep confidential, and will not disclose to any Person, except the Parties’ respective Representatives (who shall keep any such information confidential as provided in this sentence), or as may be required by applicable Law or any Order of a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction, the existence of any Related Proceeding under this Section 9.16, the referral of any such Related Proceeding to arbitration or the status or resolution thereof. The initiation of any Related Proceeding pursuant to this Section 9.16 will toll the applicable statute of limitations for the duration of any such Related Proceeding.

Section 9.17 Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the Transactions) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages and this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

Section 9.18 Trust Account Waiver. Reference is made to the final prospectus of IIAC, filed with the SEC (File No. 333-249462) on November 20, 2020 (the “Prospectus”). The Company and Merger Sub each acknowledges and agrees and understands that IIAC has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”)

containing the proceeds of its initial public offering and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with its initial public offering (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of IIAC’s public shareholders (including overallotment shares acquired by IIAC’s underwriters, the “Public Shareholders”), and IIAC may disburse monies from the Trust Account only in the express circumstances described in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of IIAC entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and Merger Sub each hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its Representatives that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Company nor Merger Sub or any of their respective Representatives does now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any proposed or actual business relationship between IIAC or its Representatives, on the one hand, and the Company or Merger Sub or any of their respective Representatives, on the other hand, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Trust Account Released Claims”). The Company and Merger Sub on its own behalf and on behalf of its Representatives hereby irrevocably waives any Trust Account Released Claims that the Company, Merger Sub or any of their respective Representatives may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, or Contracts with IIAC or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of any agreement with IIAC or its Affiliates).

Section 9.19 Further Assurances. Following the Closing, each Party shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances, and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the Transactions.

EXHIBIT B

TERM SHEET FOR REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENTS

This Term Sheet summarizes certain principal terms relating to the Registration Rights Agreement to be entered into at the Closing. Unless specified otherwise or as the context may require, capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to them in this Agreement.


Item		Terms
Parties		The Registration Rights Agreement will be entered into between the following parties and the Company: i. The Zegna Shareholders, ii. The Sponsor, iii. The FPA Purchaser, and iv. The Other Class B Shareholders, (each, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”). Following the Closing, no Company Shareholder other than the Holders shall have any registration rights; provided, however, that customary registration rights will be granted to Investors in connection with the PIPE Financing.

Registration Rights		Registration Statement on Form F-1/F-3 and Piggyback Registration.

Registrable Securities		“Registrable Security” shall mean (i) any issued and outstanding Company Ordinary Shares and any other Equity Securities (including the Company Warrants, and any Company Ordinary Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise of such Company Warrants or Equity Securities) of the Company held by a Holder immediately following the Closing, including the Founder Escrowed Shares and the Forward Purchase Shares; (ii) any Company Ordinary Shares or Company Warrants (including any Company Ordinary Shares issued or issuable upon the exercise of such Company Warrants) otherwise acquired or owned by a Holder following the Closing to the extent that such securities are “restricted securities” (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the SEC, “Rule 144”) or are otherwise held by an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Company; and (iii) any other Equity Security of the Company issued or issuable with respect to the Company Ordinary Shares referred to in clauses (i) or (ii) by way of a share dividend, subdivision, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, split, combination, exchange of shares, merger or any similar event; provided, however, that, as to any particular Registrable Security, such securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities when: (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 been otherwise transferred, new certificates or book-entry positions for such securities not bearing a legend restricting further transfer shall have been delivered by the Company and subsequent public distribution of such securities shall not require registration under the Securities Act; (C) such securities shall have ceased to be outstanding;


Item		Terms
		(D) such securities could be sold without registration pursuant to Rule 144 (but with no volume or other restrictions or limitations); or (E) such securities have been sold to, or through, a broker, dealer or underwriter in a public distribution or other public securities transaction.

Registration Statement		• The Company shall, as soon as practicable, but in any event within forty-five (45) calendar days after the Closing Date, file a registration statement on Form F-1 (“Form F-1”) to permit the public resale of all Registrable Securities on a delayed or continuous basis and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the earlier of (i) thirty (30) calendar days after the date on which the Form F-1 is filed (or ninety (90) calendar days if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” the Form F-1) and (ii) the tenth (10^th) Business Day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that such Form F-1 will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form F-1 (and any Subsequent Registration Statement) to a shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (a “Form F-3 Shelf”, and together with Form F-1, the “Resale Registration Statement”) as promptly as practicable after the Company is eligible to use a Form F-3 Shelf. • The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a Resale Registration Statement to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Resale Registration Statement is continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. • If any registration statement ceases to be effective for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities are still outstanding, the Company shall (subject to customary exceptions) use commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable cause such registration statement to again become effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all the Registrable Securities (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend such registration statement in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or file an additional registration statement (a “Subsequent Registration Statement”) registering the resale of all Registrable Securities.

Underwritten Offering		• At any time and from time to time after the expiration of any lock-up to which a Holder’s shares are subject, if any, any Holder may request to sell all or a portion of its Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering (any such Holder a “Demanding Holder” and, collectively, the “Demanding Holders”) that is registered pursuant to a registration


Item		Terms
		statement, (a “Shelf Underwritten Offering”), provided that such Holder(s) reasonably expects to sell Registrable Securities yielding aggregate gross proceeds in excess of $50 million from such Shelf Underwritten Offering. • Under no circumstances shall the Company be obligated to effect (i) more than three (3) Shelf Underwritten Offerings in respect of all Registrable Securities by the Zegna Shareholders or (ii) more than three (3) Shelf Underwritten Offerings in respect of all Registrable Securities by the Sponsor, the Other Class B Shareholders and the FPA purchaser, collectively. • The Company shall not be required to include any Registrable Securities in any Shelf Underwritten Offering unless the Holders accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriter and complete and execute 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. • The selection of the managing underwriter(s) of any Shelf Underwritten Offering shall be made by the Company, subject to the reasonable approval by the Demanding Holders. If the managing underwriter(s) advises the Company and the selling Holders that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of underwritten Registrable Securities that can be sold at an acceptable price, the number of Registrable Securities of each Holder requesting registration shall be scaled back on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be sold by the selling Holders; provided, however, that any Company Ordinary Shares or other Equity Securities proposed to be sold by the Company will be included in such registration statement in priority to any Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by a Holder if the Board determines that an offering by the Company is in the best interests of the Company.

Piggyback Registration		• If at any time after the expiration of the any lock-up to which a Holder’s shares are subject, if any, the Company or any Holder proposes to conduct a registered offering of, or the Company proposes to file a registration statement 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 Company Shareholders (or by the Company and the Company Shareholders including, without limitation, a Shelf Underwritten Offering), other than a registration statement (i) filed in connection with any employee share option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an offering in connection with a merger, consolidation or other acquisition, an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to the Company’s existing shareholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into or exchangeable for Equity Securities of the Company, (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan,


Item		Terms
		(v) for a rights offering (including any rights offering with a backstop or standby commitment), (vi) a Block Trade (as defined below) or (vii) an Other Coordinated Offering (as defined below), then the Company shall offer to all of the Holders of Registrable Securities the opportunity to include in such registered offering such number of Registrable Securities as such Holders may request (such Registration a “Piggyback Registration”); provided, however, that customary cut-back provisions shall apply to underwritten offering that is to be a Piggyback Registration if the managing underwriter(s) advises the Company and the selling Holders that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of underwritten Registrable Securities that can be sold at an acceptable price; provided, further, that any Company Ordinary Shares or other Equity Securities proposed to be sold by the Company will be included in such registration statement in priority to any Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by a Holder if the Board determines that an offering by the Company is in the best interests of the Company. • Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights: For the avoidance of doubt, any Piggyback Registration effected pursuant to the above shall not be counted as a demand for a Shelf Underwritten Offering.

Block Trades; Other Coordinated Offerings		• At any time and from time to time when an effective registration statement is on file with the SEC, if a Holder wishes to engage in (a) a Block Trade or (b) Other Coordinated Offering, in each case with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $50 million and notifies the Company at least five (5) business days prior to the day such offering is to commence, then the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering; provided, that the Holders wishing to engage in the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Company and any underwriters, brokers, sales agents or placement agents prior to making any such request in order to facilitate preparation of the registration statement, prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering. • The Holders in a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall have the right to select the underwriters and any brokers, sale agents or placement agents (if any) for such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering, subject to the reasonable approval by the Company (in each case, which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks). The Company shall not be required to include any Registrable Securities in a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering unless the Holders accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriter and complete and execute 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.


Item		Terms
		• Under no circumstances shall the Company be obligated to effect more than two (2) Block Trades or Other Coordinated Offerings in any twelve (12) month period. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall not be counted as a Shelf Underwritten Offering. For purposes of the foregoing: “Block Trade” means an offering and/or sale of Registrable Securities by any Holder on a block trade or underwritten basis (whether firm commitment or otherwise) not involving a “roadshow” or other marketing efforts involving the Company prior to pricing, including, without limitation, a same day trade, overnight trade or similar transaction, but excluding a variable price reoffer. “Other Coordinated Offering” shall mean an “at the market” or similar registered offering through a broker, sales agent or distribution agent, whether as agent or principal.

Withdrawal		The Registration Rights Agreement shall contain customary withdrawal rights for Holders to withdraw from a Shelf Underwritten Offering or a Piggyback Registration. If withdrawn, a demand for a Shelf Underwritten Offering shall constitute a demand for a Shelf Underwritten Offering by the withdrawing Holder for purposes of the cap on the number of Shelf Underwritten Offerings that can be demanded, unless the Holder reimburses the Company for all registration expenses with respect to such withdrawn Shelf Underwritten Offering (or, if there is more than one Demanding Holder, a pro rata portion of such registration expenses based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder has requested to be included in such Shelf Underwritten Offering).

Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure; Restrictions on Registration Rights		• Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a registration statement or prospectus may contain a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed (any such period, a “Suspension Period”). • If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a registration statement in respect of any registration at any time would (a) require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure (b) require the inclusion in such registration statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, or (c) in the good faith judgment of the majority of the Board, be seriously detrimental to the Company and the majority of the Board concludes as a result that it is in the Company’s best interest to defer such filing, initial effectiveness or continued use at such time, the

Item

Terms

Company may delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such registration statement for the shortest period of time determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose, but in no event more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days; provided, however, that the Company may not invoke this right more than one hundred twenty (120) calendar days in the aggregate in any twelve (12)-month period (any such period, a “Blackout Period”). In the event the Company exercises its rights under the foregoing sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the prospectus relating to any registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under the foregoing.

• During the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date one hundred and twenty (120) days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration and provided that the Company continues to actively employ, in good faith, all reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the applicable registration statement, or (b) if Holders have requested a Shelf Underwritten Offering and the Company and such Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite such offering, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay any other Shelf Underwritten Offering. In such event, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days; provided, however, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any twelve (12)-month period.

For purposes of the foregoing:

“Adverse Disclosure” means any public disclosure of material non-public information, which disclosure, in the good faith judgment of the Board, Chief Executive Officer of the Company or principal financial officer of the Company, after consultation with counsel to the Company, (i) would be required to be made in any registration statement or prospectus in order for the applicable registration statement or prospectus not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein (in the case of any prospectus and any preliminary prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, (ii) would not be required to be made at such time if the registration statement were not being filed, declared effective or used, as the case may be, and (iii) the Company has a bona fide business purpose for not making such information public.

“Misstatement” means an untrue statement of a material fact or an omission to state a material fact required to be stated in a registration statement or prospectus or necessary to make the statements in a registration statement or prospectus (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.


Item		Terms

Appointment, Term and Nomination of Directors		Directors will be appointed by the General Meeting on a binding nomination. Directors will be nominated by the Board; provided, that, if applicable as set out under “Nomination Right”, the Sponsor Nominee will be nominated by the Sponsor. Each Director is subject to annual re-election and will be appointed for a term ending at the close of the first annual General Meeting following his or her appointment.

Item		Terms
		appointment of a Director by a simple majority of the votes cast at a General Meeting; provided, such majority represents more than one-third of the issued share capital of the Company. If a majority of the votes are cast in favor of overruling the binding nomination, but that majority does not represent more than one-third of the issued share capital, a new General Meeting may be convened at which the resolution to overrule the binding nomination may be adopted by a simple majority of the votes cast, regardless of the issued share capital represented by that majority. In the event the binding nomination for the appointment of any Director other than the Sponsor Nominee is overruled, the Board may make a new binding nomination to fill the vacancy. In the event the binding nomination for the appointment of the Sponsor Nominee is overruled, the Sponsor may make a new binding nomination to fill the vacancy; provided, that at the time of the notice to such General Meeting, the Sponsor Group satisfies the Minimum Holding Requirement (as defined below).

Suspension of Directors		Any Director may be suspended at any time by resolution of the General Meeting. A resolution of the General Meeting to suspend a Director will require a majority of at least two-thirds of the votes cast, with such two-thirds majority of the votes cast representing more than half of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company or, in the case such resolution is adopted on the proposal of the Board, by a simple majority of the votes cast at the General Meeting; provided, such majority represents more than half of the issued share capital. If the General Meeting has suspended a Director or the Board has suspended an executive Director, such suspension may be extended; provided, that the duration of a suspension shall not exceed a period of three (3) months. For as long as the Sponsor Group satisfies the Minimum Holding Requirement (as defined below), the Parties shall exercise their rights and powers such that the Sponsor Nominee will only be suspended if so requested in writing by the Sponsor other than when not suspending the Sponsor Nominee would be in breach of the Board’s fiduciary duties to the Company. If the Sponsor requests the suspension of the Sponsor Nominee, the Parties will exercise their rights and powers to give effect to such request; provided, that at the time of such request the Sponsor Group satisfies the Minimum Holding Requirement (as defined below).

Dismissal of Directors		Any Director may be dismissed at any time by resolution of the General Meeting. A resolution of the General Meeting to dismiss a Director will require a majority of at least two-thirds of the votes cast, with such two-thirds majority of the votes cast representing more than half of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company or, in the case that such resolution is adopted on the proposal of the Board, by a simple majority of the votes cast at the General Meeting; provided, such majority represents more than half of the issued share capital. The Sponsor shall have the right to request in writing that the Board (and the Board will be required to do so accordingly) proposes the dismissal of the Sponsor Nominee at any time; provided, that the Sponsor Group


Item		Terms
		satisfies the Minimum Holding Requirement (as defined below) at such time. For as long as the Sponsor Group satisfies the Minimum Holding Requirement (as defined below), the Parties shall exercise their rights and powers such that the Sponsor Nominee will only be dismissed if so requested in writing by the Sponsor or in the case of fraud or willful misconduct in the performance of the Sponsor Nominee’s office as Director. If the Sponsor requests the dismissal and/or replacement of the Sponsor Nominee, the Parties will exercise their rights and powers to give effect to such request; provided, that at the time of such request the Sponsor Group satisfies the Minimum Holding Requirement (as defined below).

Vacancy and Inability to Act; Temporary Directors		Subject to the Nomination Right granted to the Sponsor described in this Term Sheet, in case of any vacancy on the Board or the inability to act of a Director, a replacement Director may be appointed by the Board in respect of each such vacancy or Director that is unable to act. A temporary Director will hold office until the earlier of (i) his or her death, disability, retirement, resignation, disqualification or removal from the Board, (ii) the end of the next annual General Meeting (or such General Meeting convened earlier to fill the vacancy) and (iii) such time as the vacancy, or inability of the Director, in respect of which he or she was appointed is resolved. In case a vacancy in the Board is the result of the Director serving as the Sponsor Nominee ceasing to be in office, or if the Director serving as the Sponsor Nominee is unable to act, then, provided that the Sponsor Group satisfies the Minimum Holding Requirement at such time, at the Sponsor’s request such Nominee Director shall be replaced by the Board by a replacement Director nominated in writing to the Board by the Sponsor, whose identity shall be subject to the Board’s approval in its discretion.

Nomination Right		At the first annual General Meeting following the Closing, at each annual General Meeting thereafter, and at each other General Meeting that is convened at a time when there is a vacancy in the position of the Sponsor Nominee, one (1) Director shall be appointed upon a binding nomination by the Sponsor (such Director, the “Sponsor Nominee”) if but only if at the time of the notice to such General Meeting the Sponsor beneficially owns, together with its Affiliates (collectively, the “Sponsor Group”), at least five percent (5%) of the issued and outstanding Company Ordinary Shares in the aggregate (the “Minimum Holding Requirement”) (such right, the “Nomination Right”); provided, however, that, if but only if the Sponsor Nominee is an individual who had not previously served as Director of the Company, the nomination of such individual shall be subject to the Board’s approval in its discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sponsor Nominee for an Initial Director shall be Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, in accordance with this Term Sheet under the section “Board of Directors”. For the avoidance of doubt, the appointment of the Sponsor Nominee (including any replacement) shall be subject to such nominee’s


Item		Terms
		satisfaction of all criteria and qualifications for service as a Director (but – also for the avoidance of doubt – not including independence or diversity criteria).

Committees of the Board		The Board shall establish and maintain (in accordance with applicable Laws and NYSE rules) the following standing committees of the Board: (i) Audit Committee, (ii) Compensation Committee and (iii) Governance and Sustainability Committee. The Board may from time to time by resolution establish and maintain other committees of the Board (whether standing or ad hoc committees).

Committee Composition		Each standing committee will have at least three (3) Directors, a majority of whom are Independent Directors. The Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee may not be chaired by the Chairman or a former executive Director. Members of the Audit Committee shall meet the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Subject to applicable Laws and NYSE rules, and subject to requisite independence requirements applicable to such committee, the Chief Executive Officer will propose to the Board to appoint the Sponsor Nominee to serve on the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee; provided, that the Sponsor Group satisfies the Minimum Holding Requirement.

Minimum Holding Requirement		In determining whether the Sponsor Group satisfies the Minimum Holding Requirement, (i) the beneficial ownership (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the Sponsor Group will be calculated after giving effect to Hedged Positions (as defined below) and (ii) the beneficial ownership of the Sponsor Group will include Founder Escrow Shares; provided, that, solely for purposes of determining whether the Sponsor Group satisfies the ownership thresholds in the Minimum Holding Requirement, such Founder Escrow Shares have been released to the Sponsor Group from the Escrow Account in accordance with Section 2.8 of this Agreement. “Hedged Positions” means the hedging positions and arrangements that effectively transfer Sponsor’s or its Affiliates’ economic interest in the Company to a third party (e.g., forward sale contracts); provided, that the definition of “Hedged Positions” shall not include hedging positions and arrangements (a) in which Sponsor’s and its Affiliates’ economic interest in the Company is retained (e.g., pledges, margin loans), (b) that minimize exposure to certain risks independent of the business operations of the Company (e.g., currency exchange swaps) or (c) that marginally cap or limit the Sponsor’s and its Affiliates’ upside/downside risk while maintaining material economic exposure (e.g., puts, calls and collars). Treatment of hedging positions and arrangements (including puts, calls and collars) in which the Sponsor or its affiliates do not retain a material economic exposure shall be discussed in good faith between the Sponsor and the Company at such time.

Opportunity to Cure		If the Sponsor Group fails to satisfy the Minimum Holding Requirement and such failure continues for a period of twenty (20) trading days from the date on which the Sponsor Group had knowledge of such failure, the


Item		Terms
		Nomination Right shall terminate with immediate effect along with the rights set out in this Term Sheet under the sections “Appointment, Term and Nomination of Directors”, “Vacancy and Inability to Act; Temporary Directors”, “Committee Composition”, “Special Consent Rights”, “Consultation Rights”, “Access Rights” and “Right to Participate in Capital Raises”. For the avoidance of doubt, the twenty (20)-day cure period described in the foregoing sentence will only be available to the Sponsor Group if the failure of the Minimum Holding Requirement was not caused by a sale or transfer of Company Ordinary Shares by the Sponsor Group. Upon the termination of the Nomination Right, the Sponsor Nominee (or any temporary Director replacing a Sponsor Nominee) shall resign from the Board with immediate effect at the request of the Company.

Remuneration		The Company will have a policy in respect of the remuneration of Directors (the “Remuneration Policy”), which will be adopted at a General Meeting by a simple majority of the votes cast upon the proposal of the Board. The remuneration of the executive Directors will be determined by the Board and the remuneration of non-executive Directors will be determined by the non-executive Directors (acting together as corporate body), in each case in accordance with the Remuneration Policy. The annual remuneration of the non-executive Directors may be payable 50% in cash and 50% in Company Ordinary Shares.

Dividends		The Board, or the General Meeting upon a proposal of the Board, may resolve to make one or more interim distributions from the Company’s share premium reserve or from any other reserve (other than the special capital reserve); provided, that the requirements of Dutch Law are duly observed. The Board, or the General Meeting upon a proposal of the Board, may resolve that distributions shall be made other than in cash, including in the form of Company Ordinary Shares or shares in another listed company.

Special Consent Rights		Effective as of the Closing, the Articles of Association will be amended to provide that none of the actions listed below may be taken by the Company (including through its Subsidiaries) without the prior approval of the Sponsor, for so long as the Sponsor Group satisfies the Minimum Holding Requirement: i. Amendment of the Articles of Association which adversely affects the rights of the Sponsor specifically (as opposed to its rights pro rata as a Company Shareholder); ii. Cessation or material alteration of the principal business of the Company, including a material change to its corporate purpose, or change of jurisdiction of incorporation; iii. Expansion of the Board to more than fifteen (15) members without granting the Sponsor the right to nominate an additional Director to preserve its proportional representation; iv. Dissolution or termination of any standing committee of the Board;


Item		Terms
		v. Deregistration of the Company or delisting of the Company Ordinary Shares from NYSE; and vi. A resolution of the Board to make a proposal to the General Meeting for the appointment or removal of the Company’s independent auditors, but only if the replacement is not from among Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG or PricewaterhouseCoopers. The Sponsor’s consent in connection with any of the above referenced matters may be provided (a) in a signed writing by the Sponsor or (b) with the affirmative vote of the Director serving as the Sponsor Nominee on the relevant Board resolution or with the affirmative vote of the Sponsor on the relevant resolution of the General Meeting, as applicable.

Consultation Rights		For as long as the Sponsor Group satisfies the Minimum Holding Requirement, the Company will consult with the Sponsor (subject to customary confidentiality undertakings) and solicit and consider its views in good faith before taking any of the actions listed below: i. Entering into any major, transformative acquisition involving a merger with a similarly situated fashion or luxury goods company; and ii. Determining to pay an extraordinary cash dividend (i.e., in addition to any dividend paid out of earnings).

Access Rights		For as long as the Sponsor Group satisfies the Minimum Holding Requirement, the Company shall provide access to senior representatives of the Sponsor to interact with (i) the Chief Financial Officer / Chief Operating Officer of the Company on at least a monthly basis, and (ii) the Chief Executive Officer of the Company on at least a quarterly basis, in each case to ask questions about the affairs of the Company provided that, in each case, neither the Company nor its senior representatives shall be under an obligation to disclose any confidential or non-public information.

Share Capital; Classes of Shares		The authorized share capital of the Company that the Company may issue without amending the Articles of Association shall be an amount equal to four and a half (4.5) times the then issued share capital of the Company as of the Closing. The initial Equity Securities of the Company shall consist of Company Ordinary Shares and several classes of Special Voting Shares (as defined in this Term Sheet in the section “Loyalty Voting Program” below).

Loyalty Voting Program		In order to strengthen the stability of the Company and xxxxxx the development and the continuous involvement of a stable base of long-term shareholders, effective as of the Closing, the Company will adopt a loyalty program (the “Loyalty Voting Program”) pursuant to which Company Shareholders will have the option to have their Company Ordinary Shares registered in a special shareholder register (the “Loyalty Register”) and receive additional shares, for no additional consideration, representing incremental voting rights (such shares, the “Special Voting Shares”) in respect of Company Ordinary Shares held continuously in the Loyalty Register for a specified period of time. The holding period for the Founder Earnout Shares will commence as of the Closing.


Item		Terms
		The Special Voting Shares and the terms and conditions for their allocation will be provided in and governed by (i) the Articles of Association and (ii) the Terms and Conditions of the Special Voting Shares (the “SVS Terms”). The SVS Terms will govern the issuance, allocation, acquisition, holding, repurchase and transfer of Special Voting Shares and certain aspects of qualifying common shares and Company Ordinary Shares which will be registered in the Loyalty Register. In order to facilitate the Loyalty Voting Program, at the Closing the Company will form a Dutch foundation (stichting) (the “Foundation”) which will have the right to subscribe for a number of Special Voting Shares of each class up to the number of Special Voting Shares of each such class included in the Company’s authorized share capital from time to time, in accordance with the Articles of Association and the SVS Terms. An option right may be granted to the Foundation for an unlimited period, which will be intended to ensure that holders of each class of qualifying Company Ordinary Shares in the future will receive their Special Voting Shares without requiring a resolution from the General Meeting. Under the structure of the Foundation, once a Company Shareholder becomes entitled to receive one Special Voting Share of a certain class, the Company will issue such Special Voting Shares to the Foundation pursuant to the Foundation’s exercise of its option right and, thereafter, the Foundation will transfer the Special Voting Shares to such Company Shareholder.

Special Voting Shares		The main features of the Special Voting Shares will be as follows: i. Multiple voting rights: Special Voting Shares will provide for the following incremental voting rights based on how long the applicable shareholder has held the Company Ordinary Shares continuously in the Loyalty Register (in addition to the voting rights attached to the Company Ordinary Shares):


Holding Period (T)	# of Additional Votes	Total Effective Votes
0 < T < 2 years	None	1 vote
2 years £ T < 5 years	1 vote	2 votes
5 years £ T < 10 years	4 votes	5 votes
10 years £ T	9 votes	10 votes

ii. Eligibility:

(a) Any Company Shareholder will have the option to become eligible for Special Voting Shares by requesting the Company to register all or any portion of its Company Ordinary Shares in the Loyalty Register (a “Request”).

(b) Upon such Request, the relevant eligible Company Ordinary Shares will be taken out of the relevant book-entry system and will be registered in the Loyalty Register in the name of the requesting Company Shareholder.

Item

Terms

(c) As of the date on which a Company Ordinary Share has been registered in the Loyalty Register in the name of one and the same Company Shareholder or its permitted transferee for an uninterrupted period of two (2) years, such Company Ordinary Share will become a “Qualifying Common Share A” and the holder thereof will become entitled to acquire one Special Voting Share A in respect of such Qualifying Common Share A. Each Special Voting Share A will confer the right to cast one vote.

(d) As of the date on which a Qualifying Common Share A has been registered in the Loyalty Register in the name of one and the same Company Shareholder or its permitted transferee for an uninterrupted period of five (5) years, such Qualifying Common Share A will become a “Qualifying Common Share B” and the Special Voting A Share held by such Company Shareholder will be converted into a Special Voting Share B. Each Special Voting Share B will confer the right to cast four votes.

(e) As of the date on which a Qualifying Common Share B has been registered in the Loyalty Register in the name of one and the same Company Shareholder or its permitted transferee for an uninterrupted period of ten (10) years, such Qualifying Common Share B will become a “Qualifying Common Share C” and the Special Voting Share B held by such Company Shareholder will be converted into a Special Voting Share C. Each Special Voting Share C will confer the right to cast nine votes.

iii. Transferability: The Special Voting Shares will not be listed on any stock exchange and will be non-transferable except in certain limited cases (transfers to Affiliates or relatives through succession or donation) that will be specified in the Articles of Association and SVS Terms. The Articles of Association and SVS Terms will provide for certain permitted transfers, which will not result in the loss of Special Voting Shares nor in the interruption of the relevant holding period. Holding Special Voting Shares will not limit the transferability of the Company Ordinary Shares to which the Special Voting Shares are connected. However, in case of (i) any non-permitted transfer of the Special Voting Shares (or the connected Company Ordinary Shares); (ii) de-registration of the connected Company Ordinary Shares from the Loyalty Register; or (iii) upon the occurrence of a “change of control” (as such term will be defined in the Articles of Association and the SVS Terms) in respect of the relevant Company Shareholder, the incremental voting rights connected to the Special Voting Shares will be suspended with immediate effect and the Special Voting Shares will be transferred to the Company without payment of any consideration.

iv. Economic rights: The Special Voting Shares will have immaterial economic entitlements (i.e., only such as are required for Dutch Law purposes).
