INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT, dated as of August 9, 2020 (as may be amended from time to time, this “Agreement”), by and among Senseonics Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), PHC Holdings Corporation (“PHC Holdings”) and any other Purchaser (as defined below) otherwise a party hereto from time to time.
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Company and the Purchasers have entered into a Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 9, 2020 (as may be amended from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company is issuing to the Purchasers Secured Promissory Notes (the “Notes”) and shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”);
WHEREAS, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties, the Company and the Purchasers have entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of August 9, 2020 (as may be amended from time to time, the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company grants the Purchasers certain registration and other rights with respect to the Notes, the shares of Common Stock issued upon any conversion of the Notes, and the Shares; and
WHEREAS, each of the parties wishes to set forth in this Agreement certain terms and conditions regarding ownership of the Notes and the Shares;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of circumstances recited above and the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
GOVERNANCE
1.1 Board of Directors.
(a) At or prior to the Appointment Date, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) shall expand its size by two (2) members, if necessary, to create a vacancy for two (2) qualified nominees of PHC Holdings. PHC Holdings shall have the right to designate, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 1.1, the number of nominees to the Board as set forth below in Section 1.2 (each a “Board Nominee”). The Board shall in good faith consider whether any such nominee is (i) qualified and suitable to serve as a member of the Board under all applicable corporate governance policies and guidelines of the Company and the Board and applicable legal, regulatory and stock exchange requirements and (ii) meets the independence requirements of The NYSE American and any other stock exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed in the future. The Board and the appropriate committees of the Board shall conduct the consideration of the qualifications, suitability and independence of the Board Nominees, and make any determinations with respect thereto in a manner consistent with considerations and determinations in respect of other members of the Board. PHC Holdings shall cause each Board Nominee to make himself or herself reasonably available for interviews, to consent to such reference and background checks or other investigations and to provide such information (including information necessary to determine the nominee’s independence status under various requirements and institutional investor guidelines as well as information necessary to determine any disclosure obligations of the Company) as the Board or any committee thereof may reasonably request; provided that in each such case, all such interviews, investigations and information are generally required to be delivered to the Company by the other outside directors of the Company. If the Board determines that the Board Nominees are qualified and suitable to serve as a member of the Board under all applicable corporate governance policies and guidelines of the Company and the Board and applicable legal, regulatory and stock exchange requirements, then the Board shall appoint such initial Board Nominees to the Board (the date of such appointment, the “Appointment Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that such review with respect to the initial two Board Nominees will be completed promptly and, in any event, prior to the date of the next meeting of the Board, which shall be no later than September 30, 2020. Provided that the Board Nominees then meet such requirements, and so long as PHC Holdings shall continue to be entitled to nominate directors pursuant to Section 1.2, the Company shall nominate the Board Nominees for re-election as directors at the end of each term of such Board Nominee as part of the slate proposed by the Company that is included in the proxy statement (or consent solicitation or similar document) of the Company relating to the election of the Board. In the event that the Board determines that any Board Nominee does not meet the foregoing requirements, or if a Board Nominee ceases to be a member of the Board at any time and for any reason, so long as PHC Holdings shall be entitled to nominate directors pursuant to Section 1.2, PHC Holdings may select another person as a designee for Board Nominee and, if the Board determines that such nominee meets the criteria set forth above, such designee shall become a Board Nominee and shall be promptly appointed by the Board. The Board shall undertake any review of any such new nominee by PHC Holdings in accordance with this paragraph and shall complete such review promptly, and in any event within ten (10) business days. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time following Closing, a Board Nominee is not a member of the Board for any reason and a new Board Nominee has not been appointed, PHC Holdings shall be entitled to designate an observer at meetings of the Board and all committees thereof on which another Board Nominee does not sit, and the Company shall provide all materials that are provided to other members of the Board in connection with such meetings to the observer, unless such attendance or the provision of such materials would result in an actual conflict of interest or violate any of the applicable corporate governance policies and guidelines or applicable legal, regulatory or stock exchange requirements or would result in the loss of attorney-client privilege.
(b) One (1) Board Nominee will have the right (but not the obligation) to be appointed by the Board to sit on each regular committee of the Board, subject to such Board Nominee satisfying applicable legal, regulatory and stock exchange requirements. If no Board Nominee satisfies the applicable legal, regulatory and stock exchange requirements to sit on any particular committee of the Board, then the Board shall permit such Board Nominee to attend (but not vote) at the meetings of such committee as an observer and shall provide all related committee materials to the Board Nominee, unless such attendance or the provision of such materials would result in an actual conflict of interest or violate any of the applicable corporate governance policies and guidelines or applicable legal, regulatory or stock exchange requirements.
-2-
(c) The Board Nominees shall be subject to the policies and requirements of the Company and the Board, in a manner consistent with the application of such policies and requirements to other members of the Board. The Company shall compensate the Board Nominees, and reimburse the Board Nominees for their reasonable expenses incurred in connection with Board and committee services, reimburse and advance to the Board Nominees’ expenses, indemnify the Board Nominees, and provide them with coverage pursuant to director and officer insurance to the same extent it compensates, reimburses and advances, indemnifies and provides insurance for the other outside members of the Board pursuant to its organizational documents, applicable law or otherwise. The Company agrees that such indemnification arrangements will provide that such indemnification, reimbursement and advancement will be the primary source of indemnification and reimbursement and advancement of expenses in connection with the matters covered thereby and payment thereon will be made before, offset and reduce any other indemnity or expense reimbursement or advancement to which a Board Nominee may be entitled or which is actually paid in connection with such matters, including as an employee of PHC Holdings or any of its Affiliates.
1.2 Board Nominees. So long as PHC Holdings and its Affiliates beneficially own at least 15% of the Common Stock on an as-converted basis, PHC Holdings shall have the right to designate two (2) Board Nominees. If PHC Holdings and its Affiliates beneficially own less than 15% of the Common Stock on an as-converted basis, but at least 5% of the Common Stock on an as-converted basis, PHC Holdings shall thereafter have the right to designate only one (1) Board Nominee. At such time as PHC Holdings and its Affiliates beneficially own less than 5% of the Common Stock on an as-converted basis, PHC Holdings shall no longer have the right to designate any Board Nominees. For purposes of this Section 1.2, beneficial ownership will be deemed to include, if PHC Holdings and its Affiliates have received any cash upon conversion of any Notes or any Company securities exercisable and/or convertible into Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock PHC Holdings and its Affiliates would have received had such exercise or conversion been settled solely in shares of Common Stock.
ARTICLE II
RIGHT OF PURCHASE
2.1 Right of Purchase.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Section, the Company grants to the Purchasers a right to purchase or subscribe for such Purchaser’s Pro Rata Portion calculated as of the date of delivery of any notice pursuant to Section 2.1(b) of any New Financing actually issued or raised, as applicable, which the Company may, from time to time, propose to issue and sell or raise, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any New Financing is being raised pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act (the “Registered Offering”), each Purchaser will be entitled to purchase its portion of the New Financing in a simultaneous private placement with the Registered Offering, but otherwise on the same terms as the Registered Offering, to the extent an exemption from registration is available at such time.
-3-
(b) In the event the Company proposes to undertake a New Financing, it shall give the Purchasers written notice of its intention, describing the type of New Financing and the price and terms upon which the Company proposes to issue or borrow the same. Each Purchaser shall have fifteen (15) days from the date of delivery of any such notice to agree to purchase or subscribe for up to its Pro Rata Portion of such New Financing, for the price and upon the terms specified in the notice, by delivering written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of the New Financing to be purchased or subscribed for, as applicable.
(c) The Company shall have ninety (90) days following the fifteen- (15-) day period described in Section 2.1(b) to sell or raise, as applicable, or enter into an agreement (pursuant to which the New Financing covered thereby shall be closed, if at all, within thirty (30) days from the date of said agreement) to sell or raise, as applicable, the New Financing with respect to which the Purchasers’ purchase or subscription right was not exercised, at a price no more favorable and upon other terms no more favorable in the aggregate to the purchasers or lenders of such financing than specified in the Company’s notice. In the event the Company has not sold or raised the New Financing or entered into an agreement to sell or raise the New Financing within said ninety- (90-) day period (or sold and issued or raised New Financing in accordance with the foregoing within thirty (30) days from the date of said agreement), the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell or raise any New Financing without first offering such financing to the Purchasers in the manner provided above.
2.2 Post Closing Notice(a). Notwithstanding anything in this ARTICLE II to the contrary, if (a) the Board determines in good faith that the Company’s ability to consummate the New Financing would be adversely impacted by virtue of compliance with the advance notice provisions contained in Section 2.1(b) and (b) such New Financing is permissible under the rules of the principal securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are traded, the Company may issue or raise such New Financing without providing such notice and without regard to the provisions of this ARTICLE II prior to such issuance. After the consummation of such New Financing without providing such advance notice in reliance on this Section 2.2, the Company shall provide the Purchasers written notice (the “Post Closing Notice”) of the fact that the Company issued or raised such New Financing, that such transaction has been consummated, and that the notice required by Section 2.1(b) was not provided in reliance on this Section 2.2. The Post Closing Notice shall set forth the type of New Financing issued or raised, and the price and the terms upon which such New Financing was issued or raised. The Purchasers shall have twenty (20) days from the delivery of such Post Closing Notice to elect to purchase or subscribe for up to the Purchasers’ Pro Rata Portion of such New Financing, for the price and upon the terms specified in such Post Closing Notice, and the closing of such sale or loan to the Purchasers so electing shall be consummated as promptly as practicable thereafter but in no event later than 10 Business Days after the date on which the Purchasers’ response was due (subject to extension for any required regulatory approvals or arrangement of any necessary financing by Purchaser).
