Re: | Contingent Transfer of Elong Class A Ordinary Shares |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to those certain Subscription Agreements, dated as of the date hereof (each, a “Subscription Agreement” and, collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”), between Elong Power Holding Limited (“Elong”) and each of the investors listed on the signature pages hereto (each, an “Investor” and, collectively, the “Investors”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this letter agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Subscription Agreements.
Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Investors have agreed to purchase from Elong, and Elong has agreed to sell to the Investors, an aggregate of 700,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, in a private placement to be consummated concurrently with the Transaction. As an inducement for the Investors to enter into the Subscription Agreements, Elong, the Investors and Gracedan Co., Limited, the holder of all of Elong’s issued and outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares (the “Supporting Shareholder”), agree as follows:
(1) Within five (5) Trading Days after the last day of the Registration Adjustment Period, the Supporting Shareholder shall assign and transfer to each Investor a number of Class A Ordinary Shares so that, after such assignment and transfer, the quotient of (a) such Investor’s Subscription Amount, divided by (b) the sum of (i) the number of Class A Ordinary Shares purchased by such Investor under the Subscription Agreement and (ii) the number of Class A Ordinary Shares transferred to such Investor under this Paragraph (1), shall equal the VWAP Price.
(2) The Supporting Shareholder shall convert, in accordance with Article 13 of the Elong M&A, such number of Class B Ordinary Shares held by it into Class A Ordinary Shares as is sufficient to satisfy the Supporting Shareholder’s obligations under Paragraph (1).
(3) For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Supporting Shareholder be required to assign and transfer under Paragraph (1), on an aggregate basis to all Investors, more than 2,100,000 Class A Ordinary Shares.
(4) Elong agrees to grant to the Investors customary registration rights with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares transferrable to them hereunder, and that such Class A Ordinary Shares will be included as “Registrable Securities” in the registration rights agreement that will be entered into among Elong and certain other parties in connection with the closing of the Transaction and that the Investors will join pursuant to Section 10.n of the Subscription Agreements.
