The Company seeks growth financing in the total amount of at least EUR 11,702,072 (including the Loans and interest accrued thereon) as a pre-IPO financing against subscription of new Series E Preferred Shares (Aktien der Vorzugsserie E) and additional contributions to the capital reserves of the Company pursuant to § 272 (2) No. 4 German Commercial Code (HGB) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Initial Investors are prepared to undertake an investment in the amount of EUR 11,702,072 (including the Loans and interest accrued thereon) in aggregate as equity capital in a first closing of the pre-IPO financing of the Company laid down in this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Further external investors shall be invited to participate in the pre-IPO financing of the Company laid down in this Agreement by undertaking an investment as equity capital in a second closing at the same terms and conditions in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
The valuation applicable to the pre-IPO financing of the Company laid down in this Agreement shall depend on whether an IPO of the Company is closed on or before 31 October 2014 or not. To this end, the pre-IPO financing (first and second closing) shall be rendered in two tranches: In the course of the first tranche, the Initial Investors shall invest a partial amount of EUR 3,000,000 fresh money and shall contribute the Loans and interest accrued thereon to the capital reserves of the Company pursuant to § 272 (2) No. 4 HGB, in each case upon the conclusion of this Agreement. Likewise, the further external investors (if any) shall invest a portion of 70.09 % of their respective total investment undertaken in the second closing as the first tranche of the pre-IPO financing upon completion of the second closing.

The first tranche shall in each case be invested on the basis of a preliminary valuation resulting in a share price of app. EUR 95.1885 per share, which shall be adapted in the course of the second tranche comprising the remaining amount of EUR 3,500,000 fresh money from the Initial Investors and the remaining 29.91 % of the total investments undertaken by the further external investors in the second closing, which shall be invested upon an IPO of the Company or on 1 November 2014, whichever is earlier, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event that an IPO of the Company is closed on or before 31 October 2014, the second tranche shall be structured in such a way that the Investors are put in such position as they each would be in if they had invested the first and the second tranche of the pre-IPO financing laid down in this Agreement (including the Loans and interest accrued thereon) against subscription of new Series E Preferred Shares with a discount of 20 % on the share price equal to the lower end of the bookbuilding range for the pricing of the IPO. In the event that the Company has not closed an IPO on or before 31 October 2014, the second tranche shall be structured in such a way that the Investors are put in such position as they each would be in if they had invested the first and the second tranche of the pre-IPO financing laid down in this Agreement (including the Loans and interest accrued thereon) against subscription of new Series E Preferred Shares at a share price of EUR 30.8861 per share.
With respect to the principles of the legal relationship between all Shareholders as shareholders of the Company, the Legal Framework, as amended by this Agreement, shall continue to apply, in addition to the terms of the Articles of Association of the Company.

(2) | Each of the Shareholders undertakes individually for himself vis-à-vis each other Shareholder, to do or cause to be done everything necessary or appropriate to implement the measures agreed in § 2 (1) above. |
Thus, each of the Shareholders undertakes individually for himself vis-à-vis each other Shareholder, in particular without limitation to participate in the Shareholders’ Meeting as set forth in § 2 (1) above, to exercise his voting rights and other rights in such Shareholders’ Meeting and in the special resolutions or special meetings of the holders of the different classes of Shares in favour of the measures agreed in § 2 (1) above, and to waive the subscription rights to which he is entitled for the subscription to new shares to the extent described.

Further, each of the Shareholders undertakes individually for himself vis-à-vis each other Shareholder, to omit any and all actions which could prevent or make the implementation of the measures agreed in § 2 (1) above more difficult as well as to waive any and all rights to raise objections to, and to challenge, the resolutions of the Shareholders’ Meeting under § 2 (1) above.
(3) | Each of the Initial Investors undertakes individually for himself vis-à-vis each other and each of the other Shareholders, to subscribe and to take over the new Series E Preferred Shares under § 2 (1) (i) above to the stated extent immediately after the end of the Shareholders’ Meeting under § 2 (1) above, and to pay in full and in cash (without any deductions for bank fees) the total issue price of EUR 1.00 per new Series E Preferred Share subscribed by him within five (5) Business Days after such subscription to the Company’s special account for the increase of the share capital (Kapitalerhöhungssonderkonto) with Deutsche Bank AG, account no.: XXXXXXXXX, bank sorting code: XXX XXX XX, IBAN: DE XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, BIC/SWIFT: XXXXXXXXXXX, ref.: “issue price capital increase July 2014”. Payments shall be made exclusively to this special account, which will be opened solely for this purpose and must not be used for other transactions or payments prior to the aforementioned payments. This special account must not have a debit balance immediately prior to the aforementioned payments being effected, so that the Company’s Management Board can freely dispose of the amounts paid (cf. §§ 188, 36, 36 a, 37 German Stock Corporation Act (AktG)). |
The subscriptions shall only become non-binding, if the consummation of the increase of the share capital under § 2 (1) (i) above has not been registered with the Commercial Register within six months after the date of the Shareholders’ Meeting under § 2 (1) above, in which case each Initial Investor shall have the (additional) right to request from all Shareholders to resolve again the increase of the share capital under § 2 (1) (i) above with respect to his individual share of the increase of the share capital as set forth in the table in § 2 (1) (i) above and to renew the subscription for the corresponding new Series E Preferred Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

(4) | After the subscription and taking over of the new Series E Preferred Shares under § 2 (1) (i) above and the receipt of the total issue price for the new Series E Preferred Shares from all of the Initial Investors, the Company shall as soon as practicable apply for registration of the resolutions to increase the share capital and to amend the Articles of Association of the Company and of the consummation of the increase of the share capital with the Commercial Register and shall take all other measures and make all other declarations necessary or appropriate for the measures described in § 2 (1) above to become effective. |
Should the Commercial Register make valid objections to the resolutions of the Shareholders’ Meeting under § 2 (1) above, the Shareholders undertake vis-à-vis each other, to remove such objections as soon as practicable by way of adopting the necessary resolutions in the Shareholders’ Meeting of the Company and in the special resolutions of the holders of the different classes of Shares so that the purpose and intention of the resolution objected to can be achieved to the maximum permissible extent.
(5) | The Shareholders undertake vis-à-vis each other, as from the conclusion of this Agreement and up until the consummation of the increase of the share capital and the amendments to the Articles of Association of the Company under § 2 (1) above have been registered with the Commercial Register, to treat each other, to the extent legally permissible, as if each of the Initial Investors had already acquired the new Series E Preferred Shares to be issued under § 2 (1) (i) above upon subscription and payment of the total issue price of EUR 1.00 per new Series E Preferred Share, respectively, and the amendments to the Articles of Association of the Company had already come into force upon the end of the Shareholders’ Meeting under § 2 (1) above. Thus, each of the Shareholders undertakes individually for himself vis-à-vis each of the Initial Investors, as from the subscription of the new Series E Preferred Shares under § 2 (1) (i) above and payment of the total issue price of EUR 1.00 per new Series E Preferred Share, respectively, in particular without limitation to put each of the Initial Investors |
10
internally in such position as they each would be in, if they had acquired the financial rights (Vermögensrechte) and, to the extent legally permissible, the administrative rights (Verwaltungsrechte) under this Agreement, the Legal Framework, as amended by this Agreement, and the Articles of Association of the Company resulting from the new Series E Preferred Shares to be issued under § 2 (1) (i) above already upon subscription and payment of the total issue price of EUR 1.00 per new Series E Preferred Share, respectively.

(1) | The Shareholders agree that in case of the Pricing of an IPO of the Company on or before 31 October 2014, the Investors shall be put in such position as they each would be in if they had invested the first and the second tranche of the pre-IPO financing laid |
15
down in this Agreement (including the Loans and interest accrued thereon) against subscription of new Series E Preferred Shares with a discount of 20 % on the share price equal to the lower end of the bookbuilding range for the pricing of the IPO of the Company in accordance with the following provisions. |
(2) | In case of the Pricing of an IPO of the Company on or before 31 October 2014, the Shareholders shall resolve in favour of an increase of the Company’s share capital in an extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of the Company to be held in the form of a plenary meeting (hereinafter referred to as the “IPO Adaptation Capital Increase”). The IPO Adaptation Capital Increase shall be resolved and consummated immediately after the Pricing of the IPO of the Company. The IPO Adaptation Capital Increase shall be an increase of the Company’s share capital in return for cash contributions against payment of the amount of EUR 1.00 per share (issue price). As part of the IPO Adaptation Capital Increase, the Investors shall be exclusively invited, to the exclusion of the other Shareholders’ statutory subscription rights, to subscribe and to take over new Series E Preferred Shares in each case in such number as is equal to the respective Total Investment (as defined below) divided by the IPO Adaptation Share Price (as defined below), if necessary commercially rounded to the next full number, and the result minus the number of new Series E Preferred Shares subscribed by them under § 2 (1) (i) or § 4 (2) above, respectively. The new Series E Preferred Shares issued under this § 5 (2) shall have the right to participate in profits as from 1 January 2014. The new Series E Preferred Shares shall have the rights, preferences and privileges as set forth in the Articles of Association of the Company, as amended under § 2 (1) (ii) above, and the Legal Framework, as amended by this Agreement. |
The respective “Total Investment” shall be equal to (a) in case of the Initial Investors: the sum of (i) the amount set forth opposite the name of the respective Initial Investor in the column “Total Loan Conversion” in the table in § 1 (1) above and (ii) the amount set forth opposite the name of the respective Initial Investor in the column “Total New Investment” in the table in § 1 (2) above, and (b) in case of the External Investors: the amount of the total investment in the pre-IPO financing of the Company to which the respective External Investor shall be admitted in the Second Closing under § 4 (1) above.
16
The “IPO Adaptation Share Price” shall be equal to the price per share of the Company with a portion of the Company’s share capital of EUR 1.00 each equal to the lower end of the bookbuilding range for the pricing of the IPO of the Company multiplied by 0.8.
§ 2 (2) to (5) above shall apply mutatis mutandis. In addition, the Company undertakes vis-à-vis the Investors to take all measures and to render all declarations in order to convene the necessary Shareholders’ Meetings to implement the IPO Adaptation Capital Increase.
(3) | In case of the Pricing of an IPO of the Company on or before 31 October 2014, each of the Investors undertakes individually for himself vis-à-vis each other and each of the other Shareholders, but not vis-à-vis the Company, to render, in addition to the total issue price of EUR 1.00 for each new Series E Preferred Share subscribed by him under § 5 (2) above, additional payments into the capital reserves of the Company pursuant to § 272 (2) No. 4 HGB in an amount equal to (a) in case of the Initial Investors: the amount set forth opposite the name of the respective Initial Investor in the column “New Investment Second Tranche” in the table in § 1 (2) above, and (b) in case of the External Investors: 29.91 % of the total investment in the pre-IPO financing of the Company to which the respective External Investor shall be admitted in the Second Closing under § 4 (1) above, in each case (a) and (b) less the total issue price of the new Series E Preferred Shares subscribed by the respective Investor under § 5 (2) above, if any, (without any deductions for bank fees) to the Company’s bank account set forth in § 3 (1) above, which shall in each case become due for payment to the Company in two instalments, whereby the second instalment shall be equal to such amount as would be required as total issue price of EUR 1.00 per share for the further Series E Preferred Shares to be issued to the respective Investor under § 5 (4) in conjunction with § 6 (2) below in case that the IPO of the Company is not closed on or before 31 October 2014, and the first instalment shall be equal to the remaining amount of the additional payments into the capital reserves of the Company under this § 5 (3). |
17
The first instalment of the additional payments into the capital reserves of the Company under this § 5 (3) shall in each case become due for payment to the Company concurrently with the total issue price of the new Series E Preferred Shares under § 5 (2) above, but by way of a condition precedent only after the passing of the resolutions of the Shareholders’ Meeting of the Company under § 5 (2) above.
The second instalment of the additional payments into the capital reserves of the Company under this § 5 (3) shall in each case become due for payment to the Company by way of a condition precedent immediately after the closing of the IPO of the Company on or before 31 October 2014, but by way of a further condition precedent not earlier than the first instalment of the additional payments into the capital reserves of the Company under this § 5 (3) pursuant to the preceding paragraph.
§ 3 (3) above shall apply mutatis mutandis.
(4) | The Shareholders agree that in case that an IPO of the Company is Priced on or before 31 October 2014 and the pre-IPO financing of the Company is adapted pursuant to this § 5, but subsequently it turns out that the IPO of the Company is not closed on or before 31 October 2014, then § 6 below shall apply mutatis mutandis. |
(5) | The Shareholders are aware that a restructuring of the Company may become necessary for the IPO of the Company. As a result of such restructuring, a holding company would hold 100 % of the shares of the Company and the Shareholders would hold shares in that holding Company. The Parties agree that in this case, the adaptation in case of an IPO of the Company shall take place at the level of the holding company applying this § 5 mutatis mutandis. |
(6) | The Shareholders agree that in the event that the IPO Adaptation Share Price is so high that even in case that no new Series E Preferred Shares are issued to the Investors under § 5 (2) above and the full amount set forth in § 5 (3) (a) and (b) above is rendered as additional payments into the capital reserves of the Company under § 5 (3) above, such that the number of new Series E Preferred Shares subscribed by the Investors under § 2 (1) (i) or § 4 (2) above, respectively, is still higher than the number |
18
of new Series E Preferred Shares they shall be entitled to pursuant to § 5 (1) above, then the Shareholders shall do or cause to be done everything necessary or appropriate to implement the principle set forth in § 5 (1) above by any other means, e.g. by applying an adapted exchange ratio in the course of the restructuring under § 5 (5) above or by a redistribution of the new Series E Preferred Shares subscribed by the Investors under § 2 (1) (i) or § 4 (2) above, respectively, among the Shareholders; provided always, that in no event shall the Investors be obliged to render further contributions to the Company in order to implement this. |
§ 6
Adaptation on 1 November 2014
(1) | The Shareholders agree that in case that the Company has not Priced or closed an IPO of the Company on or before 31 October 2014, the Investors shall be put in such position as they each would be in if they had invested the first and the second tranche of the pre-IPO financing laid down in this Agreement (including the Loans and interest accrued thereon) against subscription of new Series E Preferred Shares at a share price of EUR 30.8861 per share in accordance with the following provisions. |
(2) | In case that the Company has not Priced or closed an IPO of the Company on or before 31 October 2014, the Shareholders shall resolve in an extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting of the Company to be held in the form of a plenary meeting on 1 November 2014 to further increase the share capital of the Company in return for cash contributions by the issue of new Series E Preferred Shares in registered form as non-par value shares with a portion of the Company’s share capital of EUR 1.00 each. The new Series E Preferred Shares shall be issued for the amount of EUR 1.00 per share (issue price). The new Series E Preferred Shares shall have the right to participate in profits as from 1 January 2014. The new Series E Preferred Shares shall have the rights, preferences and privileges as set forth in the Articles of Association of the Company, as amended under § 2 (1) (ii) above, and the Legal Framework, as amended by this Agreement. To the exclusion of the statutory subscription rights of the |
19
Shareholders, the Investors shall be exclusively invited to subscribe and to take over the new Series E Preferred Shares under this § 6 (2) as follows: |

§ 14
Anti-dilution Protection
(1) | If at any time prior to the conversion of the Series E Preferred Shares into Common Shares, but after the increases of the Company’s share capital under § 2 (1) (i) above and § 4 (2), if any, § 5 (2) or § 6 (2) above, as the case may be, the Company issues any new Shares or an equivalent thereof at a price per Share that is less than the Original Share Price E (as defined below) (the “Offering E”), each holder of Series E Preferred Shares, acting individually, provided that he has fulfilled his investment obligations under §§ 1 to 6 of this Agreement, is irrevocably entitled to a broad-based weighted-average anti-dilution protection by being issued and subscribing to that number of new Series E Preferred Shares at par value without premium, so calculated as if such Shareholder has subscribed his respective Series E Preferred Shares resulting from the increases of the Company’s share capital under § 2 (1) (i) or § 4 (2), if any, above and § 5 (2) or § 6 (2) above, as the case may be, according to the following formula: |
Revised Subscription Price E = (Outstanding Shares before the Offering E x Original Share Price E + total amount raised in the Offering E) / Outstanding Shares after the Offering E.
The “Original Share Price E” shall be (i) in case of an adaptation in case of an IPO of the Company pursuant to § 5 above: the IPO Adaptation Share Price, or (ii) in case of an adaptation on 1 November 2014 pursuant to § 6 above: EUR 30.8861.
The difference between the Original Share Price E and the Revised Subscription Price E shall be multiplied by the total number of Series E Preferred Shares resulting from the increases of the Company’s share capital under § 2 (1) (i) or § 4 (2), if any, above and § 5 (2) or § 6 (2) above, as the case may be, held by such Shareholder and divided by the result of the Revised Subscription Price E minus EUR 1.00. The result of this calculation yields the total number of Series E Preferred Shares to which such holder of Series E Preferred Shares may subscribe at par value.
26
The holders of Series E Preferred Shares shall receive these Shares in conjunction with the capital increase which led to the diluting issuing of Shares. In the event of stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalization and the like, the anti-dilution protection shall be adjusted accordingly.
(2) | If at any time prior to the conversion of the Series D Preferred Shares into Common Shares, the Company issues any new Shares or an equivalent thereof at a price per Share that is less than EUR 30.8861, whereby in case of the issuance of Shares under § 5 or § 6 above, always the average share price together with the issuance of Shares under § 2 (1) (i) and § 4 (2), if any, above shall be decisive (the “Offering D”), each holder of Series D Preferred Shares, acting individually, is irrevocably entitled to a broad-based weighted-average anti-dilution protection by being issued and subscribing to that number of new Series D Preferred Shares at par value without premium, so calculated as if such Shareholder has subscribed his respective Series D Preferred Shares resulting from the increase of the Company’s share capital under § 2 (1) (i) of the 1st Amendment according to the following formula: |
Revised Subscription Price D = (Outstanding Shares before the Offering D x EUR 30.8861 + total amount raised in the Offering D) / Outstanding Shares after the Offering D.
The difference between EUR 30.8861 and the Revised Subscription Price D shall be multiplied by the total number of Series D Preferred Shares resulting from the increase of the Company’s share capital under § 2 (1) (i) of the 1st Amendment held by such Shareholder and divided by the result of the Revised Subscription Price D minus EUR 1.00. The result of this calculation yields the total number of Series D Preferred Shares to which such holder of Series D Preferred Shares may subscribe at par value.
The holders of Series D Preferred Shares shall receive these Shares in conjunction with the capital increase which led to the diluting issuing of Shares. In the event of stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalization and the like, the anti-dilution protection shall be adjusted accordingly.
27
(3) | § 16 (1) of the 1st Amendment shall be terminated and of no further force and effect. |
§ 15
Listing
Any reference in section G 4 of the Shareholders’ Agreement, as amended by § 17 of the 1st Amendment, to Series D Preferred Shares shall henceforth refer to Series E Preferred Shares and Series D Preferred Shares.
§ 16
Dividends
Any reference in § 18 (2) of the 1st Amendment to the holders of Series D Preferred Shares shall henceforth refer to the holders of Series E Preferred Shares and the holders of Series D Preferred Shares, any reference to the Series D Investors shall henceforth refer to the Investors and the Series D Investors, and any reference to Series D Preferred Shares shall henceforth refer to Series E Preferred Shares and Series D Preferred Shares.
§ 17
Liquidation Preference
Section H 2 of the Shareholders’ Agreement, as amended by § 19 (Liquidation Preference) of the 1st Amendment, shall be amended and replaced by the following provisions:
“In the event of any of the following (each a “Liquidation Event” or “Deemed Liquidation Event”):
a) | a bankruptcy, voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; |
28
b) | a (partial) sale (at least 50 %) of the Shares of the Company including the sale triggering a co-sale right as defined in section F 3 of the Shareholders’ Agreement, as amended by § 14 of the 1st Amendment and § 12 of the 2nd Amendment, a drag-along as defined in section F 4 of the Shareholders’ Agreement; |
c) | a sale of at least 75 % of all assets (including intellectual property rights) in terms of the Fair Market Value of the Company; |
d) | a merger, consolidation or acquisition, or any other event involving the Company, pursuant to which the shareholders of the Company will have less than 50.1 % of the voting power of the acquiring company or pursuant to which the Company is not the surviving entity; |
e) | a reverse take-over; |
the proceeds will be allocated among the Shareholders as follows:
(i) | First, each of the holders of Series E Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, prior to and in preference to all other Shares, an amount equal to 1.33 times (subject to proportional adjustments for stock splits, subdivisions and the like) the paid in total investment (total issue price plus additional payments and contributions to the capital reserves of the Company pursuant to § 272 (2) HGB including, for the avoidance of doubt, the nominal amount of the principal of the Loans assigned to the Company and any and all interest accrued thereon) on his Series E Preferred Shares, in each case plus an amount representing 6 % p.a. IRR on the respective paid in total investment calculated as from and starting with the respective payment thereof to the Company, compounded quarterly in arrears; |
If there are insufficient proceeds to pay the liquidation preference amount to the holders of Series E Preferred Shares in full, the amount available will be paid on a pro rata basis between the holders of Series E Preferred Shares in proportion to the maximum amounts the holders of Series E Preferred Shares would be entitled to if the proceeds were sufficient to pay the liquidation preference amount to the holders of Series E Preferred Shares in full;
29
(ii) | thereafter, each of the holders of Series D Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, prior to and in preference to the Common Shares, an amount equal to 1.33 times (subject to proportional adjustments for stock splits, subdivisions and the like) the paid in total investment (total issue price plus additional payments and contributions to the capital reserves of the Company pursuant to § 272 (2) HGB including, for the avoidance of doubt, the nominal amount of the principal of the loans assigned to the Company and any and all interests accrued thereon) on his Series D Preferred Shares (including on Shares which were converted into or are deemed to be Series D Preferred Shares), in each case plus an amount representing 6 % p.a. IRR on the respective paid in total investment calculated as from and starting with the respective payment thereof to the Company, compounded quarterly in arrears, provided that with respect to the paid in total investment on the former Series A Preferred Shares such IRR shall be calculated only as from and starting with 27 March 2007; |
If the proceeds remaining after payment of the liquidation preference amount to the holders of Series E Preferred Shares pursuant to (i) above in full are insufficient to pay the liquidation preference amount to the holders of Series D Preferred Shares in full, the proceeds remaining after payment of the liquidation preference amount to the holders of Series E Preferred Shares pursuant to (i) above in full will be paid on a pro rata basis between the holders of Series D Preferred Shares in proportion to the maximum amounts the holders of Series D Preferred Shares would be entitled to if the proceeds remaining after payment of the liquidation preference amount to the holders of Series E Preferred Shares pursuant to (i) above in full were sufficient to pay the liquidation preference amount to the holders of Series D Preferred Shares in full; and
(iii) | thereafter, the holders of Series E Preferred Shares and the holders of Series D Preferred Shares shall receive any remaining funds on a pari passu basis with the holders of Common Shares on an as-if converted basis. |
30
The total investment amount for former Series A Preferred Shares and Series B Preferred Shares issued to former silent partners (in the meaning of § 230 HGB) to be considered as a basis for the above liquidation preference and IRR shall be limited to EUR 500,000.00 each.
In the event the return of capital to tbg out of the converted share position (Part D.4 of the Series B Investment Agreement) shall be less than EUR 1,750,000.00 for tbg, tbg will receive a minimum return. The minimum return is defined as the return tbg would receive if tbg would have invested the amount of EUR 1,750,000.00 in Series B Preferred Shares up to a maximum return of EUR 1,750,000.00. The risk of fulfilling this downside protection shall be borne by the Series B investors on a pro rata basis and covers the difference between the calculated actual returns for tbg based upon its converted share position (Part D.4 of the Series B Investment Agreement) and the minimum return. Annex 7 to the Shareholders’ Agreement contains an exemplary calculation.
The holders of Series E Preferred Shares and the holders of Series D Preferred Shares are entitled to the same preference with respect to sale proceeds in case of a sale of Shares in the course of a single or a partial sales transaction or a series of related transactions (in particular as a result of the exercise of co-sale rights, drag along rights and rights of first refusal as described in the Shareholders’ Agreement, as amended by the 1st Amendment and the 2nd Amendment) or in case of a transformation of the Company except for conversions of the Company’s legal form of organization.”
