2 1250161.06 4. MISC Berhad ("MISC") currently owns 50 per cent. of the issued share capital of VTTI B.V. ("VTTI") indirectly through its Subsidiary, MTTI Sdn. Bhd. ("MTTI"). Vitol Holding B.V. ("Vitol Holding") currently owns 50 per cent. of the issued share capital of VTTI indirectly through its Subsidiary, Martank B.V. ("Martank"). 5. As part of a proposed sale to Vitol Investment Partnership Limited (a Jersey registered company, and together with its Affiliates, "VIP"), MISC intends to procure that MTTI transfer (the "Proposed Transfer") all of its shareholding in VTTI to VIP Terminals Finance B.V. ("VIP Finance"), a newly incorporated Subsidiary of VIP. Martank will contemporaneously transfer (the "Martank Transfer") all of its shareholding in VTTI to VIP Finance in exchange for 50 per cent. of the issued share capital of VIP Finance. At the same time as, or immediately following, the Proposed Transfer and the Martank Transfer, VIP Finance will transfer (the "VIP Finance Transfer") all the issued share capital of VTTI to a newly incorporated wholly-owned direct Subsidiary, VIP Terminals Holding B.V. ("VIP Holding") which will then become the immediate Holding Company of VTTI. 6. Annexure 1 to this letter summarises (by way of a structure chart) the proposed shareholding of VTTI immediately following the Proposed Transfer, the Martank Transfer and the VIP Finance Transfer. 7. Following the completion of the Proposed Transfer, the Martank Transfer and the VIP Finance Transfer, Vitol Holding will: (a) through Martank's ultimate interest in VIP Holding, hold 50 per cent. of the issued share capital of VTTI carrying a right to vote at a general meeting of the VTTI; and (b) through its combined interests in Martank and VIP, effectively own 75.9 per cent. of the issued share capital of VTTI carrying a right to vote at a general meeting of the VTTI, and will be able to appoint or remove all, or the majority of, the directors (or other equivalent officers) of VTTI, and give directions with respect to the operating and financial policies of VTTI which the directors (or other equivalent officers) of VTTI are obliged to comply with. Given its interests in VTTI, Vitol Holding will also have an equivalent level of control over the Company. 8. Pursuant to clause 9.2 (Change of control) of the Facility Agreement, the Majority Lenders may, among other things, cancel the Total Commitments and declare all amounts outstanding under the Finance Documents to be immediately due and payable, if Vitol Holding (and any of its Affiliates) and MISC (and any of its Affiliates) taken together cease to control the Company. Paragraph (b) of clause 9.2 (Change of control) defines "control" as: (i) the power (whether by way of ownership of shares, proxy, contract, agency or otherwise) to: (a) cast, or control the casting of, more than one-half of the maximum number of votes that might be cast at a general meeting of the Company; or
![Page 3](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1605725/000162828016015082/exhibit412vttiamendmentl003.jpg)
3 1250161.06 (b) appoint or remove all, or the majority of, the directors or other equivalent officers of the Company; or (c) give directions with respect to the operating and financial policies of the Company which the directors or other equivalent officers of the Company are obliged to comply with; or (ii) the holding (directly or indirectly) of more than one-half of the issued share capital of the Company carrying a right to vote at a general meeting of the Company. 9. Considering Vitol Holding's interests in Martank and VIP and (following the Proposed Transfer, the Martank Transfer and the VIP Finance Transfer) its effective ownership of VTTI (and thereby, the Company) as described in paragraph 7(b) above, the Proposed Transfer, the Martank Transfer and the VIP Finance Transfer will not cause a change in control of the Company for the purposes of clause 9.2 (Change of control) of the Facility Agreement. 10. Notwithstanding that the Proposed Transfer, the Martank Transfer and the VIP Finance Transfer will not constitute a "change of control", given that MTTI will cease to be a Shareholder of the Company following the Proposed Transfer and the specific references to MTTI in clause 9.2, the Company is seeking an amendment to clause 9.2 on the terms set out below to clarify its shareholding structure following the Proposed Transfer, the Martank Transfer and the VIP Finance Transfer and to clarify that further changes in the ownership of the Company will be permitted, provided that either: Vitol Holding (and its Affiliates) and VIP collectively or individually hold (indirectly) at least one-half of the issued share capital of the Company carrying voting rights and retain the power to appoint or remove not less than one-half of the directors of the Company, or if Vitol Holding (and its Affiliates) collectively or individually cease to control the Company, they retain a shareholding of 25 per cent or more of the issued share capital of the Company carrying voting rights or the investment committee of VIP remains comprised of a majority of persons appointed by Vitol Holding (and its Affiliates). 11. In addition to the amendment to the Facility Agreement described above, the Company is also seeking an amendment to clause 23.7(c)(xv) (Financial Indebtedness) of the Facility Agreement on the terms set out below in relation to increasing the permissible amount of Financial Indebtedness that may be incurred by a member of the Group arising under any issuance of bonds, notes, debentures or similar instruments on a debt capital market. 12. Pursuant to clause 19 (Guarantee and Indemnity) of the Facility Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors guaranteed to each Finance Party (subject to the limitations set out therein) the punctual performance by each other Obligor of each Obligor's obligations under the Finance Documents and undertook to indemnify the Finance Parties (the "Guarantee and Indemnity Obligations"). The Company and the Guarantors shall provide confirmation in this letter that: (i) their respective obligations under the Finance Documents shall remain in full force and effect, and (ii) the Guarantee and Indemnity Obligations provided by them shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding any amendments to the Facility Agreement effected by the Agent's countersignature of this letter.
