Agreement

The remainder of this letter proposes an agreement (the “Agreement”) between you and the Company. The purpose of this Agreement is to establish an amicable arrangement for ending your employment relationship, including resolving all differences and disputes and releasing the Company and related persons or entities from any claims and permitting you to receive certain Settlement Payments and Equity terms, all as described herein.

You acknowledge that you are entering into this Agreement knowingly and voluntarily. It is customary in employment separation agreements for the departing employee to release the employer from any possible claims, even if the employer believes, as is the case here, that no such claims exist. By proposing and entering into this Agreement, the Company is not admitting in any way that it violated any legal obligation that it owed to you.

With those understandings, you and the Company agree as follows:

1.
Separation from Employment

Your employment with the Company ended effective on the Separation Date. The Settlement Payment (Section 2), the Equity provisions (Section 3) and the other terms set forth herein are being provided to you as part of an agreement between you and the Company to settle fully and finally all issues and/or differences between you and the Company, including without limitation regarding your employment with the Company and any other matters with respect to the Company including any claims related to the Employment Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, by entering into this Agreement you are waiving any right you had or may have had to payments, benefits or acceleration, other than as specifically set forth herein.

You confirm that you resigned from any and all other positions that you held with the Company as an officer, director or otherwise effective on the Separation Date (except that your resignation as a director was effective May 7, 2024). You acknowledge that you were fully paid for all wages then due to you. If you apply for unemployment compensation benefits under state law, the Company shall not dispute your eligibility for such benefits. This shall not affect the Company’s obligation to respond truthfully to governmental agency requests for information related to unemployment compensation eligibility.

You must immediately cease holding yourself out as a current employee of the Company in all forums and on all platforms including but not limited to, LinkedIn. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Sections 8 and 9 below, you may continue to truthfully reference your professional history with the Company.

2.
Settlement Payment

In exchange for you entering into, not revoking and complying with this Agreement:

(a)
One-Time Payment. The Company shall pay you an amount equal to the gross amount of

$450,000 (“Settlement Payment”). The Company shall pay you the Settlement Payment the earlier of (i) within thirty (30) days of the closing date of the transactions contemplated by that certain

Merger Sub, Inc., dated as of March 4, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), and (ii) December 2, 2024.

(b)
Tax Treatment. The Company shall make deductions, withholdings and tax reports with respect to payments under this Agreement that it reasonably determines to be required. Payments under this Agreement shall be in amounts net of any such deductions or withholdings. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require the Company to make any payments to compensate you for any adverse tax effect associated with any payments or benefits or for any deduction or withholding from any payment or benefit.

 

3.
Equity

In exchange for you entering into, not revoking and complying with this Agreement and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other policy, plan or agreement, you and the Company agree as follows:

 

(a)
Stock Options. You shall have the right to exercise any and all options that you hold to purchase ordinary shares, nominal value of $0.0001 per share (the “par value”) of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”) that vested on or before the Separation Date (the “Vested Options”), pursuant to and subject to the terms of any and all applicable stock option plans and agreements. You acknowledge and agree that all options that you hold to purchase Ordinary Shares that were unvested on the Separation Date (the “Unvested Options”) have been forfeited and are no longer in effect.
(b)
Vesting and Forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”). You and the Company hereby acknowledge and agree that as of the Separation Date all outstanding unvested RSUs held by you were held in abeyance pending resolution of this Separation Agreement and, effective as of the Effective Date, (i) vesting of a portion of your RSUs representing 276,000,000 Ordinary Shares of the Company) (the “Accelerated Ordinary Shares”) accelerated in full and (ii) a portion of your RSUs representing 482,250,000 Ordinary Shares were forfeited in its entirety for no consideration. The Company shall provide that the Accelerated Ordinary Shares shall be “net settled” for required withholding taxes and remit the required taxes to the taxing authorities in accordance with applicable law. You agree to promptly pay the par value for the resulting “net” number of Ordinary Shares upon which you will receive the corresponding number of Company American Depository Shares (“ADSs”)(such ADSs the “Accelerated ADSs”). The Company’s calculation of the “net” number of Ordinary Shares, par value to be paid and the resulting number of ADSs described in this paragraph and paragraph (c)(i) below will be provided to you prior to your execution of this Agreement.
(c)
Previously-Vested RSUs; Private Placement Transaction.
(i)
Previously-Vested RSUs. Pursuant to RSUs which vested prior to the Separation Date, you were issued 14,000 ADSs and were recently issued or will be issued Ordinary Shares representing 15,418 ADSs and 52,295 ADSs, respectively. No par value or taxes are due with respect to the 14,000 ADSs. The par value but not the withholding taxes has been paid with respect to the 15,418 ADSs; the par value and

5

ACTIVE ###-###-####.1


 

 

that the Ordinary Shares with respect to the 15, 418 ADSs and the 52,295 ADSs will be “net settled” for required withholding taxes and will remit those required taxes to the taxing authorities. You agree to promptly pay the par value for the resulting “net” number of Ordinary Shares (with appropriate credit for the par value you previously paid with resect to the 15,418 ADSs) upon which you will receive the corresponding number of ADSs (such ADSs, together with the 14,000 ADSs referred to above, the “Private Placement ADSs”).

(ii)
Private Placement. The Company will offer you the opportunity to engage in a private placement transaction (the “Private Placement Transaction”) under which the Company would purchase the Private Placement ADSs from you. The terms and conditions of the Private Placement Transaction shall be negotiated and agreed to by you and the Company in good faith.

 

(d)
Lock Up. During the period beginning on August 18, 2024 through and including August 19, 2025 (such period, the “Lock-Up Period”), you will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer, or announce the intention to otherwise dispose of or transfer, any of the Accelerated ADSs or the Private Placement ADSs (together, the “Shares”), (ii) enter into any swap, hedge or similar agreement or arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic risk of ownership of the Shares, or (iii) engage in any short selling of the Shares. The restrictions set forth in this Section 3(d) shall not apply to

For purposes of this Agreement, “change of control” shall mean the consummation of (1) any bona fide third-party tender offer approved by the board of directors of the Company, for any and all of the Company’s outstanding voting securities or (2) any merger, consolidation or other similar transaction, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, in each case, approved by the board of directors of the Company and the result of which is that any “person” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), or group of persons, other than the Company, becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act) of at least 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company; provided, further, that a “change of control” shall not include the transactions contemplated by that
