67,696,615 of the Class A Shares reported herein as being beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were issued to Tencent Mobility (Luxembourg) in connection with the exchange of interests in Lilium GmbH, a German limited liability company (“Lilium”), into shares of the Issuer (the “Exchange”) upon the completion of the business combination (the “Business Combination”) on September 15, 2021 (the “Closing Date”) as contemplated by that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated March 30, 2021, by and among Qell Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Qell”), Lilium, the Issuer, and Queen Cayman Merger LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Holdco (“Merger Sub”) (as amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”). In addition, Tencent Mobility (Luxembourg) subscribed for and purchased an additional 8,500,000 Class A Shares for $85,000,000 under a Subscription Agreement entered into on March 30, 2021 (the “March 2021 Subscription Agreement”) in connection with a private placement that closed simultaneous with the Business Combination on the Closing Date (the “PIPE Financing”).

The Warrant is exercisable on any business day prior to November 22, 2026 (the “Expiration Date”). The Shares, the Warrant and the Warrant Shares are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.”

 

On or around November 22, 2022, Tencent Mobility (Luxembourg) paid to the Issuer US$14,999,999.30 in exchange for the Shares, and the Issuer issued to Tencent Mobility (Luxembourg) the Warrant.

 

Following the consummation of the aforementioned transactions, the Reporting Persons beneficially own 93,504,306 Class A Shares, including the Warrant Shares.

The Warrant Shares to be issued by Lilium upon exercise of the Warrants, as provided therein, have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered upon payment of the exercise price as provided under the Warrant, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all liens, charges, taxes, security interests, encumbrances, rights of first refusal, preemptive or similar rights and other encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof.

(a)       At the time such Investor was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on the date on which it exercises any Warrants, it will be (i) (A) a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or an institutional “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3), (7) or (8) of Regulation D under the Securities Act), in each case, satisfying the applicable requirements set forth on Schedule A (and shall provide the requested information set forth on Schedule A), or (B) an “accredited investor” (as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D) (and shall provide the requested information set forth on Schedule B), (ii) is acquiring the Securities only for its own account and not for the account of others, or if such Investor is subscribing for the Securities as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, such Investor has full investment discretion with respect to each such account, and the full power and authority to make the acknowledgements, representations and agreements herein on behalf of each owner of each such account, and (iii) is not acquiring the Securities with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act). Such Investor is not an entity formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Securities.

 

(b)       Such Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Securities are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act, that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and that Lilium is not required to register the Securities except as set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement. Such Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Securities may not be offered, resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by such Investor absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act except (i) to Lilium or a subsidiary thereof, (ii) to non-U.S. persons pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act or (iii) pursuant to another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and, in each case, in accordance with any applicable securities laws of the states of the United States and other applicable jurisdictions, and that any certificate(s) representing or the book-entry position evidencing the Securities shall contain a restrictive legend in substantially the following form:

 

“THE OFFER AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN

 

11 -

 

ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO: (1) RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (2) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A CUSTOMARY FORM AND REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.”

 

(c)       Such Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Securities will be subject to these securities law transfer restrictions and, as a result of these transfer restrictions, such Investor may not be able to readily offer, resell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the Securities and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Securities for an indefinite period of time. Such Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Securities will not immediately be eligible for offer, resale, transfer, pledge or disposition pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, and that the provisions of Rule 144(i) will apply to the Securities. Such Investor acknowledges and agrees that it has been advised to consult legal, tax and accounting prior to making any offer, resale, transfer, pledge or disposition of any of the Securities.

 

(d)       Such Investor acknowledges and agrees that such Investor is purchasing the Securities from Lilium. Such Investor further acknowledges that there have been no representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made to such Investor by or on behalf of Lilium, any of its respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing or any other person or entity, expressly or by implication, other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Lilium expressly set forth in this Agreement.

 

(e)       Such Investor acknowledges and agrees that such Investor has received such information as such Investor deems necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Securities, including, with respect to Lilium and the business of Lilium and its Subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Investor acknowledges that it has reviewed, or has an adequate opportunity to review, (i) each form, report, statement, schedule, prospectus, proxy, registration statement and other document, if any, filed by Lilium with the SEC and (ii) other materials relating to the business, finances and operations of Lilium or relating to the offer and sale of the Securities specifically requested by such Investor. Such Investor acknowledges and agrees that such Investor and such Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as such Investor and such Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Securities.

 

(f)       Such Investor became aware of this offering of the Securities solely by means of direct contact between such Investor and Lilium or a representative of Lilium (including the Placement Agents), and the Securities were offered to such Investor solely by direct contact between such Investor and Lilium or a representative of Lilium. Such Investor did not become aware of this offering of the Securities, nor were the Securities offered to such Investor, by any other means. Such Investor acknowledges that the Securities (i) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws. Such Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation (including, without limitation, Lilium, the Placement Agents, any of their respective affiliates

or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), other than the representations and warranties of Lilium contained in Section 4, Section 8(a) and Section 11 of this Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in Lilium.

 

(g)       Such Investor acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Securities, including those set forth in Lilium’s filings with the SEC. Such Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities, and such Investor has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as such Investor has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision. Such Investor acknowledges that it shall be responsible for any of such Investor’s tax liabilities that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that Lilium has not provided any tax advice or any other representation or guarantee regarding the tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.

 

(h)       Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), such Investor has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Securities and determined that the Securities are a suitable investment for such Investor and that such Investor is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of such Investor’s investment in Lilium. Such Investor acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

 

(i)       Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Investor has not relied on any statements or other information provided by or on behalf of any of the Placement Agents or any of their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing concerning Lilium, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, the Securities or the offer and sale of the Securities. Without limitation of the foregoing, such Investor hereby further acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Placement Agents are acting solely as placement agents in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and are not acting as an underwriter, initial Investor, dealer or in any other such capacity and are not and shall not be construed as a fiduciary for such Investor, Lilium or any other person or entity in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the Placement Agents have not made and will not make any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, of any kind or character and have not provided any advice or recommendation in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) the Placement Agents will have no responsibility with respect to (a) any representations, warranties or agreements made by any person or entity under or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or any of the documents furnished pursuant thereto or in connection therewith, or the execution, legality, validity or enforceability (with respect to any person) of any thereof, or (b) the financial condition, business, or any other matter concerning Lilium and the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iv) no Placement Agent shall have any liability or obligation (including without limitation, for or with respect to any losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements incurred by such Investor), whether in contract, tort or otherwise, to such Investor or to any person claiming through such Investor, in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(j)       Such Investor acknowledges that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment.

 

(k)       Such Investor has been duly formed or incorporated and is validly existing and is in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation or incorporation (except where the failure to be in good standing could not have or reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of such Investor), and has the requisite power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

 

13 -

 

(l)       To the extent required by applicable securities legislation, regulatory policy or order, or if required by any securities commission, stock exchange or other regulatory authority with jurisdiction over Lilium, at the reasonable request of and at the sole expense of Lilium, such Investor will use commercially reasonable efforts to execute, deliver and file and otherwise assist Lilium in filing reports, questionnaires, undertakings and other documents with respect to the issue of the Securities.

 

(m)       The execution, delivery and performance by such Investor of this Agreement are within the powers of such Investor, have been duly authorized and will not constitute or result in a breach or default under or conflict with 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 such Investor is a party or by which such Investor is bound, except, in each case, as would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of such Investor to enter into and timely perform its obligations under this Agreement, and will not violate any provisions of such Investor’s organizational documents, including, without limitation, its incorporation or formation papers, bylaws, indenture of trust or partnership or operating agreement, as may be applicable. The signature of such Investor on this Agreement is genuine, and the signatory has legal competence and capacity to execute the same or the signatory has been duly authorized to execute the same, and, assuming that this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Lilium, this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Investor, enforceable against such Investor in accordance with its terms except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable Bankruptcy Laws.

 

(n)       Neither such Investor nor, to the knowledge of such Investor, any of its officers, directors, managers, managing members, general partners or any other person acting in a similar capacity or carrying out a similar function, is (i) a person named on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List, the Foreign Sanctions Evaders List, the Sectoral Sanctions Identification List, or any other similar list of sanctioned persons administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, or any similar list of sanctioned persons administered by the European Union or any individual European Union member state, or the United Kingdom (collectively, “Sanctions Lists”); (ii) directly or indirectly owned or controlled by, or acting on behalf of, one or more persons on a Sanctions List; (iii) organized, incorporated, established, located, resident or, except to the extent disclosed by such Investor to Lilium, born in, or a citizen, national, or the government, including any political subdivision, agency, or instrumentality thereof, of, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela, the Crimea region of Ukraine, the so-called People’s Republics of Luhansk and Donetsk in Ukraine, or any other country or territory embargoed or subject to substantial trade restrictions by the United States, the European Union or any individual European Union member state, or the United Kingdom; (iv) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515; or (v) a non-U.S. shell bank or providing banking services indirectly to a non-U.S. shell bank (collectively, a “Prohibited Investor”). Such Investor represents that if it is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.) (the “BSA”), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”), and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), that such Investor maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. Such Investor also represents that it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with sanctions administered by the United States, the European Union, or any individual European Union member state, including the United Kingdom, to the extent applicable to it. Such Investor further represents that it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure the funds held by such Investor and used to purchase the Securities were legally derived and were not obtained, directly or indirectly, from a Prohibited Investor.

 

(o)       In connection with the issue and purchase of the Securities, none of the Placement Agents, nor any of their respective affiliates, has acted as such Investor’s financial advisor or fiduciary.

(p)       Such Investor (for itself and for each account for which such Investor is acquiring the Securities) acknowledges that such Investor is aware that each of the Placement Agents is acting as placement agent in connection with the Registered Transaction.

 

6.       Registration Rights.

 

(a)       Lilium agrees that, within five (5) business days following each applicable Closing Date (such deadline, the “Filing Deadline”), Lilium will submit to or file with the SEC a registration statement for a shelf registration on Form F-3, or in the event that Form F-3 is not available, Lilium shall file with the SEC a shelf registration on such other form as is available to them (all such registration statements, collectively, the “Registration Statements” and each, a “Registration Statement”), covering the resale of the Securities acquired by each Investor pursuant to this Agreement and the Warrants on such Closing Date (the “Registrable Securities”) and Lilium shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have each Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 30th calendar day (or 60th calendar day if the SEC notifies Lilium that it will “review” such Registration Statement) following the applicable Closing and (ii) the fifth (5th) business day after the date Lilium is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, however, that if such Effectiveness Deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or other day that the SEC is closed for business, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to the next business day on which the SEC is open for business; and provided further, that Lilium’s obligations to include the Registrable Securities of any Investor in a Registration Statement are contingent upon such Investor furnishing in writing to Lilium such customary information regarding such Investor or its permitted assigns, the securities of Lilium held by such Investor and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities as shall be customary, required by applicable law to be included in a Registration Statement and as reasonably requested by Lilium to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and each Investor shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as Lilium may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that Lilium shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of a Registration Statement, if applicable, as permitted by Section 6(c) of this Agreement; provided that no Investor shall in connection with the foregoing be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Registrable Securities. In no event shall any Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in any Registration Statement unless specifically requested by the SEC in which case such Investor will have an opportunity to withdraw from such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents Lilium from including any or all of the Securities proposed to be registered under a Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Registrable Securities or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register the resale of a number of Securities which is equal to the maximum number of Securities as is permitted by the SEC. In such event, the number of Securities to be registered for each selling shareholder named in a Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders, and Lilium will use its best efforts to file with the SEC, as promptly as allowed by the SEC, one or more registration statements to register the resale of those Registrable Securities that were not registered on such initial Registration Statement, as so amended. For as long as any Investor holds Securities, Lilium will use its best efforts to file all reports for so long as the condition in Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) is required to be satisfied, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the Investors to resell the Securities pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act (in each case, when Rule 144 of the Securities Act becomes available to such Investor), and will prepare and file with the SEC such amendment and supplements to each Registration Statement and each prospectus used in connection therewith a may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered thereby. Any failure by Lilium to file a Registration Statement by the applicable Filing Deadline or to effect such Registration Statement by the Effectiveness Deadline shall not otherwise relieve Lilium of

 

15 -

 

its obligations to file or effect the Registration Statements as set forth above in this Section 6. For purposes of this Agreement, “business day” shall mean a day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York, New York, London, England, U.K., Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China, or China are authorized or required by law to close.

 

(b)       In the case of the registration effected by Lilium pursuant to this Agreement, Lilium shall, upon reasonable request, inform the Investors as to the status of such registration. At its expense Lilium shall:

 

(i)       except for such times as Lilium is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 6(c) of this Agreement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any required qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws, continuously effective with respect to the Investors, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (a) Investor ceases to hold any Registrable Securities and (b) the date all Registrable Securities held by each of the Investors may be sold without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions which may be applicable to affiliates under Rule 144 and without the requirement for Lilium to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable). Each Investor agrees to disclose, on a confidential basis, its ownership of Lilium securities to Lilium upon request to assist Lilium in making the determination described above. The period of time during which Lilium is required hereunder to keep a Registration Statement effective is referred to herein as the “Registration Period”;

 

(ii)       during the Registration Period, advise the Investors, as expeditiously as possible (and within no later than three (3) business days):

 

(1)       when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC;

 

(2)       after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

 

(3)       of the receipt by Lilium of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

 

(4)       subject to the provisions in this Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Lilium shall not, when so advising the Investors of such events, provide the Investors with any material, nonpublic information regarding Lilium other than

 

16 -

 

to the extent that providing notice to the Investors of the occurrence of the events listed in (1) through (4) above may constitute material, nonpublic information regarding Lilium;

 

(iii)       during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;

 

(iv)       during the Registration Period, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 6(b)(ii)(4) above, except for such times as Lilium is permitted by Section 6(c) of this Agreement to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, Lilium shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to Investors of the Registrable Securities included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

 

(v)       during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the Registrable Securities have been listed;

 

(vi)       during the Registration Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow each Investor to review, prior to the filing thereof, disclosure regarding such Investor in any Registration Statement and shall afford each Investor a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such disclosure, which comments Lilium shall in good faith consider and use its reasonable best efforts to incorporate; and

 

(vii)       during the Registration Period, otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by any Investor, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities.

 

(c)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Lilium shall be entitled to delay the filing or effectiveness of, or suspend the use of, a Registration Statement if (i) it reasonably 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 at that time could not otherwise be included in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act, or (ii) the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by Lilium or its Subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event Lilium’s board of directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of outside legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by Lilium in such Registration Statement of material information that Lilium has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in such Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of Lilium’s board of directors, upon the advice of outside legal counsel, to cause such Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements, (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that Lilium may not delay or suspend any Registration Statement on more than two occasions or for more than forty-five (45) consecutive calendar days, or more than ninety (90) total calendar days in each case during any twelve-month period. Lilium shall not, when advising each Investor of such Suspension Event, provide such Investor with any material, non-public information regarding Lilium other than to the extent that providing notice to such Investor of the occurrence of the Suspension Event might constitute material, non-public information regarding Lilium. Upon receipt of any written notice from

 

17 -

 

Lilium of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that such Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event such 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, each Investor agrees as to itself that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities under such Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144 or other applicable exemption from registration) until it receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which Lilium agrees to promptly prepare and provide) 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 Lilium that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by Lilium unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by Lilium, each Investor will deliver to Lilium or, in such Investor’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities in such Investor’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities shall not apply (a) to the extent such Investor is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (1) to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (2) in accordance with a bona fide preexisting document retention policy or (b) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up. Any Investor may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to Lilium requesting that such Investor not receive notices from Lilium otherwise required by this Section 6(c); provided, however, that such Investor may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from any Investor (unless subsequently revoked), (i) Lilium shall not deliver any such notices to such Investor and such Investor shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to such Investor’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, such Investor will notify Lilium in writing at least two (2) business days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section 6(c)) and the related suspension period remains in effect, Lilium will so notify such Investor, within one (1) business day of such Investor’s notification to Lilium, by delivering to such Investor a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide such Investor with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event promptly following its availability.

 

(d)       Indemnification.

 

(i)       Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, Lilium agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Investor (to the extent a seller under any Registration Statement), its directors, officers, partners, managers, members, stockholders, advisers, agents, representatives, affiliates and each person who controls each such Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and the directors, officers, partners, managers, members, stockholders, advisers, agents, representatives, affiliates of each such controlling person, to the extent permitted by law, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out of pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees of one law firm (and one firm of local counsel)) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement (“Prospectus”) or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except insofar as the same are directly caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to Lilium by or on behalf of such Investor expressly for use therein.

 

18 -

 

(ii)       In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, such Investor shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) to Lilium in writing such information and affidavits as Lilium reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (to the extent required by applicable securities laws to be disclosed in such Registration Statement) and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify Lilium, its directors and officers and each person or entity who controls Lilium (within the meaning of the Securities Act) and their directors and officers against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented out of pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented outside attorneys’ fees of one law firm (and one firm of local counsel)) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by on behalf of such Investor expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the liability of such Investor shall be several and not joint with any other Investor or other selling stockholder named in such Registration Statement and shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

(iii)       Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (a) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s or entity’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (b) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

(iv)       The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities.

 

19 -

 

(v)       If the indemnification provided under this Section 6(d) from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that the liability of such Investor shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by, in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 6(d)(i), (ii) and (iii) above, any reasonable, documented, and out of pocket legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 6(d)(v) from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

(e)       Subject to receipt from such Investor by Lilium and its transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) of customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to Lilium and the Transfer Agent in connection therewith, and, if required by the Transfer Agent, an opinion of Lilium’s counsel (which opinion shall be at Lilium’s expense), in a form reasonably acceptable to the Transfer Agent, to the effect that the removal of such restrictive legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act, such Investor may request that Lilium remove any legend from the certificate(s) representing or the book-entry position evidencing the Securities within two (2) business days of such request and receipt of such representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to Lilium and the Transfer Agent, following the earliest of such time as the Securities (i) are subject to and eligible to be sold or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or (ii) have been or are about to be sold pursuant to Rule 144. If restrictive legends are no longer required for the Securities pursuant to the foregoing, Lilium shall, in accordance with the provisions of this section and reasonably promptly following any request therefor from such Investor accompanied by such customary and reasonably acceptable representations and other documentation referred to above establishing that restrictive legends are no longer required, deliver to the Transfer Agent irrevocable instructions that the Transfer Agent shall make a new, unlegended entry for the Securities. Lilium shall be responsible for the fees of the Transfer Agent associated with such issuance.

 

7.       Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by any Investor, as to such Investor’s obligations hereunder only and without any effect whatsoever on the obligations between Lilium and the other Investors, and be void and of no further force and effect with respect to such Investor, by written notice to Lilium, if the Closing has not been consummated, through no fault of such Investor, within twenty-five (25) calendar days from the date hereof, or, in the case of any Closing that is delayed at Lilium’s option pursuant to Section 2(a), by January 12, 2023; provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such willful breach.

 

20 -

 

Upon the termination of this Agreement with respect to any Investor in accordance with this Section 7, any monies paid by such Investor to Lilium in connection herewith shall be promptly (and in any event within one (1) business day after such termination) returned to such Investor.

 

8.       Other Agreements of the Parties.

 

(a)       As of the date hereof, Lilium has reserved, and shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of Class A Ordinary Shares for the purpose of enabling Lilium to issue the Shares as well as the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant in accordance with its terms (such number, the “Reserved Securities”), provided, however, that the Reserved Securities need only include an amount necessary for the issuance of Securities that are not subject to any Delayed Closing as contemplated by Section 2(a) of this Agreement. In the case of any Securities subject to a Delayed Closing, the Reserved Securities shall be increased as soon as practicable after the effectiveness of the approval at Lilium’s general meeting of shareholders referred to in Section 3(h) to authorize Lilium’s board of directors to (i) issue a sufficient number of Class A Ordinary Shares for the purpose of enabling Lilium to issue the Securities subject to such Delayed Closing (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants that are comprised in such Securities) and (ii) exclude or restrict pre-emptive rights in relation to such issuances, and in any event the Reserved Securities shall be increased as of a date that is no later than one (1) business day prior to such Delayed Closing.

 

(b)       Prior to the Closing Date, Lilium shall prepare and file with Nasdaq an additional shares listing application covering all of the Shares and Warrant Shares. On the Closing Date, the Shares shall be listed on Nasdaq; and Lilium shall use its best effort to cause the Warrant Shares, when issued, to be listed on Nasdaq or such other securities exchange on which the Shares are then listed for trading.

 

(c)       If applicable, Lilium shall file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and, to the extent the Form D is not publicly available on the SEC’s EDGAR reporting system, will provide a copy thereof to each Investor promptly after such filing. Lilium, on or before the Closing Date, shall take such action as Lilium shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify the Securities for sale to the Investors at the Closing, pursuant to this Agreement and the Warrants under applicable securities or blue sky laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification), and, if requested by an Investor, shall provide evidence of any material action so taken to such Investor on or prior to the Closing Date. Lilium shall make all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Securities required under applicable securities or blue sky laws of the states of the United States following the Closing Date.

 

(d)       Except as expressly set forth herein to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents.

 

(e)       At the Closing, the parties hereto shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take such additional actions as the parties reasonably may deem to be practical and necessary to consummate the purchase and sale of the Securities as contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

 

(f)       If any Class A Ordinary Shares or warrant to acquire Class A Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Other Securities Purchase Agreements or the Registered Transaction contain any term or condition (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any representation or warranty other than those representations and warranties related to the registration of the securities offered in the Registered Transaction) that is more favorable to the holder of such security or a term in favor of the holder of such

 

21 -

 

security that was not similarly provided to the Investors in the Transaction Documents, other than (i) relating to the registration of the securities offered in the Registered Transaction at issuance, (ii) the provision of a thirty (30) day “lock-up” period for Lilium, its officers and its directors in the Registered Transaction, (iii) terms relating to the provision of the Shareholder Support Letter Agreement referenced in Section 4(aa) hereto, (iv) different or additional representations and warranties that are relevant to the federal and/or local securities laws of the jurisdictions applicable to an investor party to any Other Securities Purchase Agreement or in the Registered Transaction, (v) any provisions related to a Delayed Closing pursuant to Section 2(a) and (vi) relating to the consideration to be received by Lilium that is the extinguishment or cancellation of liabilities, whether directly or indirectly, and terms relating to permitting such consideration in lieu of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds, then Lilium shall notify each Investor of such additional or more favorable term and such term shall (whether or not Lilium provides such notice) automatically become a part of the Transaction Documents for the benefit of Investor in addition to the terms already set forth in the Transaction Documents. Additionally, if Lilium fails to notify any Investor of any such additional or more favorable term, but such Investor becomes aware that Lilium has granted such a term to any third party in the Other Securities Purchase Agreements or the Registered Transaction, such term shall automatically become a part of the Transaction Documents in addition to the terms already set forth in the Transaction Documents, retroactive to the date on which such term was granted to the applicable third party.

 

9.       Miscellaneous.

 

(a)       Neither this Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to each Investor hereunder (other than the Securities acquired hereunder, if any) may be transferred or assigned provided that each Investor may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more of its affiliates or to another investment fund or account managed or advised by the investment manager who acts on behalf of such Investor or an affiliate thereof; provided that no such assignment shall relieve such Investor of its obligations hereunder. [***]

 

(b)       Lilium may request from each Investor such additional information as Lilium may deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of such Investor to acquire the Securities and in connection with the inclusion of the Securities in any Registration Statement, and such Investor shall provide such information as may be required to facilitate such evaluation, to the extent permissible under applicable law, readily available and consistent with its internal policies and procedures; provided that Lilium agrees to keep any such information confidential, other than as (i) necessary to include in any Registration Statement, or (ii) may be required by applicable law, rule, regulation or in connection with any legal proceeding or regulatory request (if which case Lilium shall provide notice to the applicable Investor and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of any such information). Each Investor acknowledges that, to the extent required by applicable law or otherwise agreed in writing with the Investors party hereto, Lilium may file a form of this Agreement with the SEC as an exhibit to an Exchange Act report or a registration statement of Lilium.

 

(c)       Each Investor acknowledges that Lilium will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of such Investor contained in Section 5 of this Agreement. Prior to the Closing, each Investor agrees to promptly notify Lilium if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of such Investor set forth herein (i) are no longer accurate and (ii) are not expected to be accurate as of immediately prior to the Closing. Each Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agents will rely on the representations and warranties of such Investor contained in Section 5 of this Agreement.

 

22 -

 

(d)       Lilium, the Placement Agents and each Investor are each irrevocably authorized to produce this Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party to the extent required in connection with any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

 

(e)       All of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing. All of the covenants and agreements made by each party hereto in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until the applicable statute of limitations, or in accordance with their respective terms.

 

(f)       This Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 7 above) except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto. No failure or delay of either party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties and third party beneficiaries hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.

 

(g)       The Transaction Documents (including the exhibits and schedules thereto) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter thereof except, with respect to each Investor, any non-disclosure or confidentiality or similar agreement between Lilium and such Investor. Except as set forth in Section 6(d), Section 9(c) and Section 9(d) hereof with respect to the persons referenced therein, the Transaction Documents shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successor and assigns.

 

(h)       Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

 

(i)       If any provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

 

(j)       This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by electronic mail or in .pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 

(k)       The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

 

(l)       The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages, to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. The

 

23 -

 

parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 9(l) is an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and without that right, the parties hereto would not have entered into this Agreement.

 

(m)       THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SOLELY IN RESPECT OF THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS AND IN RESPECT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, AND HEREBY WAIVE, AND AGREE NOT TO ASSERT, AS A DEFENSE IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING FOR INTERPRETATION OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF OR ANY SUCH DOCUMENT THAT IS NOT SUBJECT THERETO OR THAT SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING MAY NOT BE BROUGHT OR IS NOT MAINTAINABLE IN SAID COURTS OR THAT VENUE THEREOF MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE OR THAT THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR ANY SUCH DOCUMENT MAY NOT BE ENFORCED IN OR BY SUCH COURTS, AND THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED BY SUCH A NEW YORK STATE OR FEDERAL COURT. THE PARTIES HEREBY CONSENT TO AND GRANT ANY SUCH COURT JURISDICTION OVER THE PERSON OF SUCH PARTIES AND OVER THE SUBJECT MATTER OF SUCH DISPUTE AND AGREE THAT MAILING OF PROCESS OR OTHER PAPERS IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN SECTION 12 OF THIS AGREEMENT OR IN SUCH OTHER MANNER AS MAY BE PERMITTED BY LAW SHALL BE VALID AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE THEREOF. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER STATE.

 

(n)       EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (II) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (III) SUCH PARTY MAKES THE FOREGOING WAIVER VOLUNTARILY; AND (IV) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9(n).

 

10.       Non-Reliance and Exculpation. Each Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation (including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, any of its affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), other than the statements, representations and warranties of Lilium expressly contained in Section 4, Section 8(a) and Section 11 of this Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in Lilium. Each Investor acknowledges and agrees that none of (i) any other Investor pursuant to the Transaction Documents or any other Agreement related to the private placement of the Securities (including such Investor’s respective affiliates or any

 

24 -

 

control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), (ii) the Placement Agent, its affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing, or (iii) any affiliates, or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of Lilium shall be liable to such Investor, or to any other Investor, pursuant to the Transaction Documents or any other agreement related to the private placement of the Securities, the negotiation hereof or thereof or the subject matter hereof or thereof, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Securities.

 

11.       Press Releases. Lilium shall, on or prior to 9:00 a.m. New York City time, on the first business day following the Pricing Date, issue one or more press releases or furnish or file with the SEC a current report on Form 6-K (collectively, the “Disclosure Document”) disclosing, to the extent not previously publicly disclosed, the transactions contemplated hereby, all material terms thereof and any other material, non-public information that Lilium has provided to any Investor at any time prior to the filing of the Disclosure Document except, with respect to each Investor, for such material non-public information that has been provided pursuant to and is the subject of a non-disclosure or confidentiality or similar agreement between such Investor and Lilium that remains in effect as of the date hereof. Prior to the Disclosure Document, the parties shall keep the transactions contemplated hereby confidential, and no party shall make any public announcement regarding the transactions contemplated hereby. From and after the disclosure of the Disclosure Document, to the knowledge of Lilium, except as noted above, no Investor shall be in possession of any material, non-public information received from Lilium or its officers, directors, employees or agents, and no Investor shall be subject to any confidentiality or similar obligations under any current agreement, whether written or oral, relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. All press releases or other public communications relating to the transactions contemplated hereby between Lilium and the Investors, and the method of the release for publication thereof, shall be subject to the prior written approval of (i) Lilium, and (ii) to the extent such press release or public communication references any Investor or its affiliates or investment advisers by name, such Investor. The restriction in this Section 11 shall not apply to any public announcement from and after the date of the Disclosure Document to the extent the public announcement is required by applicable securities law, any governmental authority or stock exchange rule; provided, that in such an event, the applicable party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other party in advance as to its form, content and timing.

 

12.       Notices. All notices and other communications among the parties shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) when delivered in person, (ii) when delivered after posting in the United States mail having been sent registered or certified mail return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (iii) when delivered by FedEx or other nationally recognized overnight delivery service, or (iv) when delivered by email (in each case in this clause (iv), solely if receipt is confirmed, but excluding any automated reply, such as an out-of-office notification), addressed as follows:

 

If to an Investor, to the address provided on such Investor’s signature page hereto.

 

If to Lilium, to:

or to such other address or addresses as the parties may from time to time designate in writing. Copies delivered solely to outside counsel shall not constitute notice.

 

13.       For the avoidance of doubt, all obligations of any Investor hereunder are separate and several from the obligations of any other Investor. The decision of any Investor to purchase the Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Lilium or any of its Subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any Other Investor or Investor or by any agent or employee of any other Investor, and none of the Investor nor any of their respective agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Investor (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement (including the Other Securities Purchase Agreements), and no action taken by any Investor or any Other Investors pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute any Investor and any other Investor as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that any Investor and any Other Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Other Securities Purchase Agreements. Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and no other Investor will be acting as agent of any other Investor in connection with monitoring its investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under this Agreement. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

Warrant No. [●] Original Issue Date: [●], 2022

 

Lilium N.V., a Netherlands public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, [●] or its permitted registered assigns (the “Investor”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company up to a total of [●] Ordinary Shares A, nominal value EUR 0.12 per share (“Ordinary Shares A” or “Securities”), of the Company (each such share, a “Warrant Share” and all such shares, the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price per share equal to $1.30 per share (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 4 herein, the “Exercise Price”), which price per share is at a minimum the USD equivalent of the nominal value of EUR 0.12 per share (subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations and reclassifications in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof and similar transactions following the date hereof (the “Original Issue Date”)), upon surrender of this Warrant to Purchase Ordinary Shares A (including any Warrants to Purchase Ordinary Shares A issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the “Warrant”) at any time and from time to time on or after the Original Issue Date, and subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

1.Exercise of Warrant.

 

(a)The Warrant shall be exercisable on any business day prior to [●], 20261 (the “Expiration Date”).

 

(b)The Warrant shall be exercisable prior to the Expiration Date, at the election of Investor, either in its entirety or, from time to time for part of the number of Warrant Shares

 

 

1 To be the fourth anniversary of the closing date.

 

 

 

specified herein. In the event that the Warrant is duly exercised for less than all of the Warrant Shares at any time prior to the Expiration Date, one or more new Warrants will be issued to Investor for the remaining number of Warrant Shares.

 

(c)In connection with the exercise of the Warrant, upon timely receipt of a Warrant, accompanied by the Exercise Notice substantially in the form attached in Schedule 1 hereto filled in, signed and delivered to the Company and the Warrant Agent as defined below, and payment of the Exercise Price (as may be adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Warrant) for each of the Ordinary Shares A to be purchased by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the Warrant Agent in accordance with the written wiring instructions included in Schedule 1 hereto (as may be amended by written notice from the Company or the Warrant Agent to Investor), the Company shall thereupon promptly (and in any event within two (2) Trading Days (as defined below) and upon confirmation from a bank that the EUR nominal value equivalent has been received pursuant to Section 1(d)) issue or cause to be issued to Investor or its designee (which may include an account of a participant of the Depository Trust Company that will hold the Ordinary Shares A for the account of Investor or its designee) a book entry position, for the number of Ordinary Shares A to which Investor is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by Investor. If the Company fails to issue or cause to be issued to Investor or its designee a book entry position for such Ordinary Shares A within such two (2) Trading Day period, then Investor will have the right to rescind such exercise, in addition to any other remedies available to Investor hereunder, at law or in equity.

 

(d)The Company covenants and agrees that (i) it or the Warrant Agent will obtain from an EU-licensed bank a statement confirming that on the day after receipt of payment of the Exercise Price, or the next day on which such bank is open for business, and prior to the delivery of Ordinary Shares A, the USD amount paid is at least equal to the aggregate nominal value in EUR of all Ordinary Shares A issued upon exercise of the Warrant, and (ii) it will pay when due and payable any and all present or future transfer, stamp, issue, documentary, recordation, registration or similar taxes, levies and charges that may be imposed or payable in respect of the issuance or delivery of (A) each Warrant, (B) each Warrant issued in exchange for any other Warrant pursuant to Section 4 and Section 13 or issued pursuant to Section 1(b) and (C) each Ordinary Share A issued upon the exercise of any Warrant; provided that the Company shall not be obligated to pay any such transfer, stamp or issue tax or charge that is a direct result of a transfer or other action of Investor or any subsequent holder of the Warrant (that is in addition to exercising the Warrant hereunder).

 

(e)Prior to the Expiration Date, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued capital stock, solely for the issuance upon the exercise of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the maximum number of Ordinary Shares A issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

For the purposes of this Agreement, “Trading Day” means (i) a day on which the Ordinary Shares A are traded on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”), which, as of the Original Issue Date is the national securities exchange or other trading market on which the Ordinary Shares A are primarily listed and quoted for trading (or any successors to the foregoing), (ii) if the Ordinary Shares A are not traded on Nasdaq but are traded on another Trading Market, a day on which the Ordinary Shares A are traded on such other Trading Market and (iii) if the Ordinary Shares A are not traded on Nasdaq or any other Trading Market, any Business Day. For the purposes of this

 

31 

 

Agreement, “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banks are authorized or required to close in the City of New York, New York.

 

2.Optional Redemption. If any time after [•], 20242, but before the Expiration Date, the last reported sale price per share of the Ordinary Shares A, as reported by Nasdaq, equals or exceeds $2.60 per share for at least twenty (20) Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during a thirty (30) consecutive Trading Day period, then the Company, on at least twenty (20) Trading Days’ prior written notice to Investor, may redeem this Warrant by paying Investor one cent ($0.01) per Warrant Share, subject to adjustment as provided in this Warrant and subject to prior exercise by Investor. This Warrant shall remain exercisable by Investor (in whole or in part, in its entirety or in such increments, at any time and from time to time, as in each case Investor may in its sole discretion elect) for the duration of the twenty (20) Trading Days’ prior written notice period.

 

3.Issuance of Securities; Registration:

 

Investor understands that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise hereof have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Investor’s investment intent. Investor understands that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares issued upon any exercise hereof must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and qualified under applicable state securities laws, or unless exemption from such registration and qualification are otherwise available. Investor is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. The Company shall cause this Warrant to be registered upon records to be maintained by the Warrant Agent for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Investor (which shall include the initial Investor or, as the case may be, any registered assignee to which this Warrant is assigned hereunder) from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

 

4.Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Securities Purchasable or Number of Warrants.

 

(a)Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend on its Ordinary Shares A payable in Ordinary Shares A, or other securities of the Company, then upon exercise of the Warrant, for each Ordinary Shares A acquired, Investor shall receive, without cost to Investor, the total number and kind of securities to which Investor would have been entitled had Investor owned such number of Ordinary Shares A of record as of the record date for the dividend. If the Company subdivides its Ordinary Shares A by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the number of Ordinary Shares A purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the Company combines or consolidates its Ordinary Shares A, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the number of Ordinary Shares A purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately decreased and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment made pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 4(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend, and any adjustment pursuant to the second and third sentences of this Section 4(a) shall

 

 

2 To be the second anniversary of the closing date.

32 

 

become automatically effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision, combination or consolidation.

 

(b)Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution. In the event of any recapitalization, reclassification, exchange, substitution, combination, reorganization, merger, consolidation, liquidation or similar transaction or other event that results in the Ordinary Shares A being converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or property, Investor shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise of the Warrant, the number and kind of securities and property that Investor would have received for such number of Ordinary Shares A to which Investor would have been entitled if this Warrant had been exercised immediately before such event, except in the event of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined below) pursuant to Section 4(f).

 

(c)Subsequent Equity Sales. If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall sell, enter into an agreement to sell, or grant any option to purchase, or sell, enter into an agreement to sell, or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Ordinary Shares A or Ordinary Share A Equivalents (as defined below), at an effective price per share less than the Exercise Price then in effect (such lower price, the “Base Share Price” and such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (it being understood and agreed that if the holder of the Ordinary Shares A or Ordinary Share A Equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive Ordinary Shares A at an effective price per share that is less than the Exercise Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Exercise Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance at such effective price), then simultaneously with the consummation (or, if earlier, the announcement) of each Dilutive Issuance the Exercise Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price provided that the Base Share Price shall not be less than the USD equivalent of the nominal value of the Ordinary Shares A (subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, recapitalizations and similar transactions following the Original Issue Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made, paid or issued under this Section 4(c) in respect of an Exempt Issuance (as defined below). The Company shall notify the Investor, in writing, no later than the Trading Day following the issuance or deemed issuance of any Ordinary Shares A or Ordinary Share A Equivalents subject to this Section 4(c), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice, the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 4(c), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, the Investor is entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares based upon the Base Share Price regardless of whether the Investor accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of Exercise. As used herein, “Exempt Issuance” means the issuance of (i) Ordinary Shares A, options or other securities to employees, officers or directors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or consultants to the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to any stock or option plan or other written agreement duly adopted for such purpose by a majority of the non-employee members of the board of directors or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose for services rendered to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) Ordinary Shares A upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into Ordinary Shares A

 

33 

 

issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of this Agreement to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities (other than in connection with stock splits or combinations) or to extend the term of such securities; (iii) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company or securities issued in financing transactions, the primary purpose of which is to finance acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, provided that any such issuance shall only be to a Person (or Persons) (as defined below) (or to the equity holders of a Person) which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company or an owner of an asset in a business synergistic with the business of the Company; (iv) Ordinary Shares A, options, warrants or convertible securities issued to banks, equipment lessors or other financial institutions, or to real property lessors, pursuant to a debt financing, equipment leasing or real property leasing transaction approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is primarily issuing Ordinary Shares A or Ordinary Share A Equivalents primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to a person or an entity whose primary business is investing in securities; (v) Ordinary Shares A, warrants, options or convertible securities issued in connection with the provision of goods or services, partnership or joint ventures in connection with the Company’s business or to suppliers or other persons with whom the Company does business pursuant to transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing Ordinary Shares A or Ordinary Share A Equivalents primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to a person or an entity whose primary business is investing in securities; (vi) Ordinary Shares A, options, warrants or convertible securities issued in connection with sponsored research, collaboration, technology license, development, investor or public relations, marketing or other similar agreements, or strategic partnerships or joint ventures approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is primarily issuing Ordinary Shares A or Ordinary Share A Equivalents primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to a person or an entity whose primary business is investing in securities; and (vii) securities issued pursuant to an equity line of credit or “at the market” registered offering to be established by the Company following the date hereof (including any upsize thereof) so long as such “at the market” registered offering or upsize thereof is approved by the board of directors the Company. As used herein “Person” means an individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind. As used herein “Ordinary Share A Equivalents” means any securities of the Company which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Ordinary Shares A, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, Ordinary Share B, Ordinary Share C, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, Ordinary Shares A, and any securities of the Company that when paired with one or more other securities of the Company or another entity entitles the holder thereof to receive Ordinary Shares A.

 

(d)Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Sections 4(a)-(c) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Ordinary Share A Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Ordinary Shares A (the “Purchase Rights”), then the

 

34 

 

Investor will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Investor could have acquired if the Investor had held the number of Ordinary Shares A acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Ordinary Shares A are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

 

(e)Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Ordinary Shares A, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Investor shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Investor would have participated therein if the Investor had held the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Ordinary Shares A are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution. To the extent that this Warrant has not been partially or completely exercised at the time of such Distribution, such portion of the Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Investor until the Investor has exercised this Warrant.

 

(f)Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any direct or indirect purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Ordinary Shares A are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Ordinary Shares A, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Ordinary Shares A or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Ordinary Shares A are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a stock split, combination or reclassification of the Ordinary Shares A covered by Section 4(a) above), or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group (as defined in Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) Rule 13d-5) of Persons whereby such other Person or group (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13d-5) acquires more than 50% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares A (not including any Ordinary Shares A held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Investor shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the

 

35 

 

occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Investor, the number of shares of capital stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Ordinary Shares A for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one Ordinary Share A in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If Investors of Ordinary Shares A are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Investor shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant in connection with such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction in which at least 10% of the consideration received by the holders of the Company’s Ordinary Shares A does not consist of common stock in the Successor Entity (which entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) listed on a Trading Market, or is to be so listed for trading immediately following such event, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Investor’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within thirty (30) days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Investor by paying to the Investor an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s control, including not approved by the board of directors, Investor shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the Investors of Ordinary Shares A of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Ordinary Shares A are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction; provided, further, that if holders of Ordinary Shares A of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Ordinary Shares A will be deemed to have received common stock or ordinary shares of the Successor Entity (which Successor Entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg L.P. determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Expiration Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg L.P. (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the greater of (i) the sum of the price per share

 

36 

 

being offered in cash, if any, plus the value of any non-cash consideration, if any, being offered in such Fundamental Transaction and (ii) the highest VWAP (as defined below) during the period beginning on the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction (or the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, if earlier) and ending on the Trading Day of the Investor’s request pursuant to this Section 4(f) and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and the Expiration Date and (E) a zero cost of borrow. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or such other consideration) within the later of (i) five (5) Trading Days of the Investor’s election and (ii) the date of consummation of the Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(f) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Investor and approved by the Investor (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Investor, deliver to the Investor in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding value of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the value of the Warrant Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the Warrant Shares pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Investor. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. As used herein “VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Ordinary Shares A are then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares A for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Ordinary Shares A are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if the Ordinary Shares A are then listed or quoted on the OTCQB or OTCQX, the volume weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares A for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX, as applicable, (c) if the Ordinary Shares A are not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Ordinary Shares A are then reported on the Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per Ordinary Shares A so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of Ordinary Shares A as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the holders of a majority in interest of the Warrants then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company. “Trading

 

37 

 

Market” means any of the following markets or exchanges on which the Ordinary Shares A are listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the New York Stock Exchange, or OTCQB or OTCQX (or any successors to any of the foregoing).

 

(g)Calculations. All calculations under this Section 4 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 4, the number of Ordinary Shares A deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Ordinary Shares A (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

 

(h)Notice to Investor.

 

i.Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 4, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Investor by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

ii.Notice to Allow Exercise by Investor. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Ordinary Shares A, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Ordinary Shares A, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Ordinary Shares A rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any shareholder of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Ordinary Shares A, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Ordinary Shares A are converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Investor at its last facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Ordinary Shares A of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that Investors of the Ordinary Shares A of record shall be entitled to exchange their Ordinary Shares A for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the Company shall

 

38 

 

simultaneously file such notice with the SEC (as defined below) pursuant to a Current Report on Form 6-K (or successor form) or, if unavailable to the Company, a widely disseminated press release that is reasonably anticipated to be generally available to the Company’s equity holders. The Investor shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

 

(i)Amendment. In the event of the adjustments described in this Section 4, the Company or its successor, if applicable, or the Warrant Agent on behalf of the Company shall promptly issue to Investor (a) an amendment to this Warrant setting forth the number and kind of such new securities or other property issuable upon exercise of the Warrants as a result of such event, and (b) upon surrender to the Company or the Warrant Agent of the Warrant(s) then in Investor’s possession, one or more new Warrants representing the number of Warrant Shares (or other securities) then-outstanding as a result of such adjustment. The amendment to this Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4 including, without limitation, adjustments to the Exercise Price and to the number of securities or property issuable upon exercise of the new Warrant. The provisions of this Section 4 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, substitutions, or other events.

 

5.Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Warrant Shares upon any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any such fractional Warrant Share, Investor shall receive, at the Company’s election, (i) an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the current market value of a whole Warrant Share or (ii) a whole Warrant Share, with the understanding that the Company cannot issue more Warrant Shares than the maximum number of Warrant Shares that the board of the Company has been authorized to issue by the general meeting of the Company in connection with the issuance of the Warrants. As used herein, current market value means, as of any particular date, the VWAP on the five Trading Day period immediately prior to (but excluding) the applicable date of determination.

 

6.Transfer of Warrant.

 

(a)Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, there are no restrictions on the transfer of the Warrant.

(b)Until any transfer of a Warrant is reflected in the Warrant Register, the Company may treat the Person in whose name such Warrant is registered upon the Warrant Register as the absolute owner of such Warrant, for all purposes. Investor (and any transferee) may change its address as shown on the Warrant Register by providing written notice (email being sufficient) to the Company and the Warrant Agent requesting such change.

 

39 

 

7.No Rights as Shareholder.

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) (i) is currently designated by the general meeting of the Company to issue up to a maximum of 162,759,554 Class A Ordinary Shares or rights to subscribe for such Class A Ordinary Shares and to exclude or restrict pre-emptive rights in relation to such issuances (the “Current Designation”) and (ii) has (a) resolved that entry into this Agreement and the consummation of the Transaction are expedient and in the best interests of the Company and its business, having considered the interests of the Company's relevant stakeholders, (b) approved this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the Transaction (whereby the issuance of any Class A Ordinary Shares and Warrants (and the exclusion of the pre-emptive rights in relation to such issuances) that cannot be issued under the Current Designation require authorization by the general meeting of the Company passed by a simple majority of votes cast at that meeting (or, if less than half of the issued share capital of the Company is present or represented at that meeting, a majority of at least two-thirds of the votes cast)), (c) recommended that the designation of the Board to issue Class A Ordinary Shares and grant rights to subscribe for Class A Ordinary Shares up to a maximum of 25% of the issued share capital of the Company at a general meeting of the Company to be held no later than January 13, 2023 (the “General Meeting”) and to limit or exclude pre-emptive rights related thereto, in each case for a period of 36 months from the General Meeting (the “New Designation”) be resolved upon by the Company’s general meeting (in addition to and without prejudice to the Current Designation), and (e) directed that the New Designation be submitted to the Company’s shareholders at the General Meeting for consideration and resolution; and

 

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, each Shareholder is the record holder and “beneficial owner” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange Act”)) of the number of Class A Ordinary Shares set forth on Exhibit A hereto ((the “Owned Shares,” and the Owned Shares and any additional Class A Ordinary Shares of which such Shareholder acquires record and beneficial ownership after the date hereof but prior to or on the record date for the General Meeting, including by purchase, as a result of a share dividend, share split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, exchange or change of such shares, or upon exercise or conversion of any securities, the “Covered Shares”).

(c)       vote, or cause to be voted at the General Meeting (or validly execute and return, or cause the execution and return of, a voting proxy with respect to), all of such Shareholder’s Covered Shares against any resolution that would reasonably be expected to materially impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Transaction.

 

2.       Restrictions on Transfer.

(d)       No filings, notices, reports, consents, registrations, approvals, permits, waivers, expirations of waiting periods or authorizations are required to be obtained by such Shareholder from, or to be given by such Shareholder to, or be made by such Shareholder with, any governmental authority in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by such Shareholder of this Agreement, other than any filings, notices and reports pursuant to, in compliance with or required to be made under the Exchange Act.

 

(e)       The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Shareholder do not, and the consummation of the Transaction will not, constitute or result in (i) a breach or violation of, or a default under, the governing documents of such Shareholder (if such Shareholder is not an individual), (ii) a breach or violation of any Law, or (iii) a

 

3 

 

breach or violation of, or a default under, any contract binding upon such Shareholder except, in the case of clause (ii) or (iii) directly above, for any such breach, violation, or default that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or impair such Shareholder’s ability to perform its, his or her obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transaction.

8.       Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be changed, amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto.

9.       Assignment. No party hereto may, except as set forth herein, assign either this Agreement or any of its, his or her rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other parties.

4 

 

transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction.
