In connection therewith, as soon as practicable after a Registration Request is made, BYND shall prepare and file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a Registration Statement on Form F-1 covering the resale of the BYND Issued Shares.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, in connection with any underwritten public offering, the managing underwriter(s) thereof impose a limitation on the number of shares of securities that may be included in the Registration Statement because, in such underwriter(s)’ reasonable judgment, marketing or other factors dictate such limitation is necessary to facilitate public distribution, then BYND is obligated to include in such Registration Statement only such limited portion of the BYND Issued Shares with respect to which AGROINVESTMENT have requested inclusion hereunder as the underwriter recommends.
