This PIPE Subscription Agreement (this “Agreement”) is being entered into as of May 31, 2022, by and among Gesher I Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“SPAC”), Freightos Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (the “Issuer”), and the undersigned subscriber (“Subscriber”), in connection with that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among SPAC, the Issuer, Freightos Merger Sub I, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (“Merger Sub I”), and Freightos Merger Sub II, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (“Merger Sub II”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub I will merge with and into SPAC, with SPAC being the surviving entity as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the “First Merger”), and immediately thereafter, SPAC will merge with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II being the surviving entity as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (together with the First Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transaction”). In connection with the Transaction, the Issuer is seeking commitments from accredited investors to purchase, contingent upon, and substantially concurrently with, the closing of the Transaction (the “Transaction Closing”), that number of ordinary shares of the Issuer, par value $0.00001 per share, set forth on the signature page hereto (the “PIPE Shares”) for a purchase price of $10.00 per share (the “Per Share Purchase Price” and the aggregate purchase price for the PIPE Shares set forth on the signature page hereto, the “Purchase Price”). Subscriber also holds, as of the date of this Agreement, 900,090 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock of the Issuer, and Subscriber’s affiliate, Qatar Airways Group Q.C.S.C., holds 27,000 ordinary shares of the Issuer, which shares will be converted into ordinary shares of the Issuer (collectively, the “Recapitalization Shares”) in connection with the Recapitalization (as defined in the Merger Agreement) at the exchange ratio set forth in Section 6 (Conversion of Preferred Shares into Ordinary Shares) of the Issuer’s Articles of Association.
In consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby mutually acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, SPAC, the Issuer and Subscriber agree as follows:
1. Subscription. Subject to the terms and condition of this Agreement, Subscriber hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Issuer, and the Issuer agrees to sell to Subscriber, the PIPE Shares at the Per Share Purchase Price, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
2. Closing; Delivery of Shares.
(a) The closing of the sale of PIPE Shares contemplated hereby (the “Closing,” and the date that the Closing actually occurs, the “Closing Date”) is contingent upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to closing set forth in Section 3 and the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction Closing. The Closing shall occur (i) after the Recapitalization (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and (ii) on the date of, and immediately prior to or simultaneously with, the Transaction Closing.

Upon delivery of the Closing Notice to Subscriber, Subscriber shall deliver the Purchase Price one (1) business day prior to the expected Closing Date by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account(s) specified by the Issuer in the Closing Notice to be held in constructive trust by the Issuer and released only upon consummation of the Transaction Closing. If the Transaction Closing should not occur for any reason on the scheduled day, the Issuer shall immediately return to Subscriber pursuant to Subscriber’s wire transfer instructions provided at such time all such funds held in constructive trust.

Except for the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Issuer and SPAC expressly set forth in this Agreement, Subscriber is relying exclusively on its own sources of information, investment analysis and due diligence (including professional advice it deems appropriate) with respect to the Transaction, the PIPE Shares and the business, condition (financial and otherwise), management, operations, properties and prospects of the Issuer, including all business, legal, regulatory, accounting, credit and tax matters.
(d) Subscriber’s acquisition and holding of the PIPE Shares will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any applicable similar law.

Subscriber is a sophisticated investor, experienced in investing in private placement transactions and with the requisite knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities, and has exercised informed, independent judgment in evaluating its participation in the purchase of the PIPE Shares.
(g) Subscriber became aware of this offering of the PIPE Shares solely by means of direct contact between Subscriber, the Issuer and SPAC, or their respective representatives, and the PIPE Shares were offered to Subscriber solely by direct contact between Subscriber, the Issuer and SPAC, or their respective representatives, and, to the knowledge of Subscriber, not as a result of any general solicitation by the Issuer or SPAC.
(h) Subscriber understands and agrees that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of this offering of the PIPE Shares or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment.
(i) If an entity, Subscriber has been duly formed or incorporated and is validly existing in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation.
(j) The execution, delivery and performance by Subscriber of this Agreement are within the powers of Subscriber, have been duly authorized and will not constitute or result in a breach or default under or conflict with any federal or state law, statute, rule or regulation applicable to Subscriber, any order, ruling or regulation of any court or other tribunal or of any governmental commission or agency, or any agreement or other undertaking, to which Subscriber is a party or by which Subscriber is bound, and, if Subscriber is not an individual, will not violate any provisions of Subscriber’s organizational documents.

(l) Neither Subscriber, nor, to the extent it has them, any of its equity holders, managers, general or limited partners, directors, affiliates or executive officers (collectively with Subscriber, the “Covered Persons”), are subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d) under the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”), except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3), in each case as indicated in the questionnaire attached as Exhibit A hereto. Subscriber has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. The acquisition of the PIPE Shares by Subscriber will not subject the Issuer to any Disqualification Event.
(m) Reserved.
(n) Subscriber has sufficient immediately available funds to pay the Purchase Price for the PIPE Shares.
(o) Subscriber acknowledges that (i) the Issuer and SPAC may have, and later may come into possession of, information regarding the Issuer and SPAC that is not known to Subscriber and that may be material to a decision to enter into this transaction to purchase the PIPE Shares (“Excluded Information”), (ii) Subscriber has determined to enter into the this transaction to purchase the PIPE Shares notwithstanding its lack of knowledge of the Excluded Information, and (iii) neither the Issuer nor SPAC shall have any liability to Subscriber, and Subscriber hereby, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waives and releases any claims it may have against the Issuer and SPAC, with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information.

7
arrangement (each, a “Plan”) subject to the fiduciary or prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, Subscriber represents and warrants that neither the Issuer or SPAC nor any of their respective affiliates has acted as the Plan’s fiduciary, or has been relied on for advice, with respect to its decision to acquire and hold the PIPE Shares, and none of the Issuer, SPAC or any of their respective affiliates shall at any time be relied upon as the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision to acquire, continue to hold or transfer the PIPE Shares.
(q) Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that it will not, and will cause each person acting at Subscriber’s direction or pursuant to any understanding with Subscriber to not, directly or indirectly (i) offer, sell, pledge, contract to sell or sell any option to purchase, or engage in hedging activities or execute any “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, in each case that result in Subscriber having a net short cash position in respect of the ordinary shares of SPAC until the Closing (or such earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms), or (ii) redeem any ordinary shares of SPAC owned by such parties in connection with the redemption rights afforded to shareholders of SPAC in connection with the completion of a Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (y) nothing herein shall prohibit other entities under common management with Subscriber that have no knowledge of this Agreement or of Subscriber’s participation in this offering or the Transaction (including Subscriber’s controlled affiliates and/or affiliates) from entering into any “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, and (z) in the case of a Subscriber that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of Subscriber’s assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of Subscriber’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the PIPE Shares covered by this Agreement.
6. SPAC Representations and Warranties. SPAC represents and warrants to Subscriber that:
(a) SPAC is an exempted company duly incorporated, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands and has the corporate power and authority to own, lease, and operate its properties and conduct its business as presently conducted and to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement.
(b) The execution, delivery and performance by SPAC of this Agreement are within the powers of SPAC, have been duly authorized and will not constitute or result in a breach or default under or conflict with any federal or state law, statute, rule or regulation applicable to SPAC, any order, ruling or regulation of any court or other tribunal or of any governmental commission or agency, or any agreement or other undertaking, to which SPAC is a party or by which SPAC is bound. The signature on this Agreement is genuine, and the signatory has been duly authorized to execute the same, and this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of SPAC, enforceable against SPAC in accordance with its terms.
(c) As of their respective filing dates, each form, report, statement, schedule, prospectus, proxy, registration statement and other documents filed by SPAC with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) prior to the date of this Agreement (the “SEC Documents”) complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to the SEC Documents and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents. None of the SEC Documents filed under the Exchange Act, when filed or, if amended prior to the date hereof, as of the date of such amendment with respect to those disclosures that are amended, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that
8
SPAC makes no such representation or warranty with respect to the proxy statement of SPAC to be filed in connection with the approval of the Merger Agreement by the shareholders of SPAC or any other information relating to the Issuer or any of its affiliates included in any SEC Document or filed as an exhibit thereto. To the knowledge of SPAC, there are no material outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters from the SEC staff with respect to any of the SEC Documents.
7. Registration Rights.
(a) In the event that the PIPE Shares and the Recapitalization Shares are not registered in connection with the consummation of the Transaction, the Issuer agrees that, no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the Closing Date, it shall file or cause to be filed, with the SEC (at the sole cost and expense of the Issuer) a registration statement on Form F-1 registering the resale of all of the PIPE Shares and the Recapitalization Shares (the “Registration Statement”), and it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof. In connection with the foregoing, Subscriber shall be required to execute a customary 180-day lock-up agreement restricting Subscriber’s ability to transfer the PIPE Shares during such lock up period subject to the terms and conditions of such lock-up agreement. The Issuer agrees to, except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement, or another shelf registration statement that includes the PIPE Shares and the Recapitalization Shares to be sold pursuant to this Agreement, to remain effective continuously until the earliest of (i) the second anniversary of the Closing, (ii) the date on which Subscriber ceases to hold any of the PIPE Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement and any Recapitalization Shares or (iii) the first date on which Subscriber is able to sell all of its the PIPE Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement (or shares received in exchange therefor) and all of its Recapitalization Shares under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) (such date, the “End Date”). The Issuer shall keep the Subscriber reasonably informed as to the status of the process to file and have declared effective the Registration Statement and the listing process related thereto described in Section 7(b); provided that at no time shall the Issuer provide Subscriber with material non-public information regarding the Issuer or the SPAC.
(b) Prior to the End Date, the Issuer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to qualify the PIPE Shares and the Recapitalization Shares for listing on Nasdaq. Subscriber agrees to disclose its ownership to the Issuer upon request to assist it in making the determination with respect to Rule 144 described in clause (iii) of Section 7(a). The Issuer may amend the Registration Statement so as to convert the Registration Statement to a Registration Statement on Form F-3 at such time after the Issuer becomes eligible to use such Form F-3. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Issuer may suspend the use of any such registration statement if it determines that, in order for such registration statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act. The Issuer’s obligations to include the PIPE Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement and the Recapitalization Shares for resale in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Issuer such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Issuer held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition under the Registration Statement of the PIPE Shares and the Recapitalization Shares, which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings, as shall be reasonably requested by the Issuer to effect the registration of such PIPE Shares and Recapitalization Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Issuer may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations.
9
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Issuer shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if (i) the use of the Registration Statement would require the inclusion of financial statements that are unavailable for reasons beyond the Issuer’s control, (ii) the Issuer determines that in order for the Registration Statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed to include information that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act or if (iii) such filing or use could materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Issuer or its subsidiaries or would require additional disclosure by the Issuer in the Registration Statement of material information that the Issuer has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that the Issuer may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement on more than two (2) occasions or for more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, or more than ninety (90) total calendar days, in each case during any twelve (12) month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from the Issuer of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the PIPE Shares under the Registration Statement until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Issuer that it may resume such offers and sales; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Issuer shall not include any material non-public information in any such written notice.
