Preamble

 

A)The Company is in founding and intends to be organized in the form of a Swiss stock corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) registered with the commercial register of the Canton of Zurich having its office at Underrietstrasse 3, CH-8700 Küsnacht (Zurich); Switzerland.

 

B)The Zappware N.V. with its principal address at Ilgatlaan 21, B-3500 Hasselt; Belgium represents the core business (“Business”) and consists of the following main activities:

 

(a)the providing of a software-based TV and video distribution platform to telecom operators and digital content owners; and

 

(b)the providing of services to telecom operators and digital content owners for user interaction design as well as software development, deployment and support.

 

C)Firstly, upon Closing the Founder will acquire the majority of shares in “Business” on behalf of the Company, with a target to taking over 100%, provided the key people stay on board: Messrs. Ives Decraene and Patrick Vos (hereafter indicated as “Other Shareholders”). At this point, the Founder together with the Other Shareholders will hold 49% of the Company and the Investor 51%. Secondly, the Founder intends to acquire another company active in the sector of Business on behalf of the Company with the remainder of the assets of the Company. Further into the future, the Founder and the Investor agree that a continuation of this sector roll-up would be beneficial for the Company.

 

D)The Parties wish to determine in this Agreement their respective rights and obligations in relation to the Common Shares in the Company.

 

E)The Parties are aware that the detailed structuring of the incorporation of the company and the acquisition of the Business is still being reviewed from a tax and legal perspective and the finally determined structure might deviate from the one envisioned herein. Hence, the Parties agree that this Agreement shall be considered at least a framework agreement and that they will support any structuring that results in the same economic intensions as set forth herein.

 

F)For purposes of this Agreement (including the introductory paragraphs and the Appendices), capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in Appendix E) or as defined in the Founding Investment and Subscription Agreement as of the same date as this Agreement.

 

Based on the foregoing, the Parties agree as follows:

Each Shareholder wishing to exercise its right of first refusal in respect of all or part of the Relevant Shares (“Right of First Refusal”) shall so notify the Company and the Selling Shareholder(s) within a period of 30 days from receipt of the Right of First Refusal Notice (“Right of First Refusal Exercise Notice”).

Thereafter, the procedure pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be repeated prior to any such Transfer.

 

7.4.3.Pro Rata Allocation of Right of First Refusal

 

In the event that the Shareholders exercise their Rights of First Refusal for more than the number of Relevant Shares, the Relevant Shares shall be allocated among such exercising Shareholders pro rata to their then existing holdings of Shares.

The Transfer of the Relevant Shares shall be consummated within 60 days from receipt of the Right of First Refusal Notice by the Company unless the terms of the bona fide purchase offer provided for longer terms, in which case the terms of such bona fide purchase offer shall apply. If the consideration offered by the Selling Shareholder(s) for the Relevant Shares is not cash or if the Transfer is to be made for no consideration, then the price for the Relevant Shares shall be deemed to be equal to the Fair Market Value as defined in Section 7.7.2 below and to be paid in cash to the Selling Shareholder(s).

 

7.5.Tag-Along (Co-Sale Right)

 

7.5.1.Notification

 

In the event a Shareholder (or a group of Shareholders) wishes to Transfer all or a part of its Shares (“Relevant Shares”) in one or a series of related transactions to a proposed acquirer (including another Shareholder) on the basis of a bona fide purchase offer (“Tag-Along Event”), such Shareholder(s) (“Selling Shareholder(s)”) shall notify the other Shareholders as well as the Company thereof, mutatis mutandis in accordance with Section 7.5.1 (“Tag-Along Notice”). Such Tag-Along Notice may be part of a Right of First Refusal Notice according to Section 7.4.

11

 

7.5.2.Terms of Tag-Along Right

 

The terms of the Tag-Along Right shall be the same consideration per Share and otherwise the same terms and conditions as applicable to the Selling Shareholder(s) (except for (i) any representations, warranties and/or indemnities other than (several and not joint) title warranties solely in respect of the Shares sold by such other Shareholder(s) and (ii) payment of the consideration per Share, which must be in immediately available cash) upon the occurrence of a Tag-Along Event.

 

7.5.3.Exercise of Tag-Along Right

 

Each Shareholder wishing to exercise its tag-along right with respect to the Relevant Shares (“Tag-Along Right”) shall so notify the Selling Shareholder(s) within a period of 30 days from receipt of the Tag-Along Notice (“Tag-Along Exercise Notice”). If no Tag-Along Exercise Notice is submitted on time, the Tag-Along Right of that Shareholder shall be deemed to have been forfeited (verwirkt) with respect to this Tag-Along Event.

 

If the proposed acquirer refuses to accept the purchase of the Shares from the Shareholders who provided a Tag-Along Notice, the Selling Shareholder(s) shall be prohibited from Transferring the Relevant Shares to the proposed acquirer.

 

7.5.4.Transfer to Proposed Acquirer

 

In the event the Right of First Refusal according to Section 7.4 is not exercised, the Selling Shareholder(s) shall be free to Transfer the Relevant Shares to the proposed acquirer on the terms disclosed to the other Shareholders in the Tag-Along Notice and the Right of First Refusal Notice within a period of six months starting after the expiry of the 30–day period to submit a Tag-Along Exercise Notice. Thereafter, the procedure pursuant to this Section 7.5 shall be repeated prior to any such Transfer.

 

7.6.Drag-Along (Co-Sale Obligation)

 

7.6.1.Notification

 

In the event a Shareholder, with the approval of a majority of Shareholders, wishes to Transfer at least 51% of the Shares of the Company in one or a series of related transactions to a proposed acquirer (including another Shareholder) who wishes to acquire all (but not less than all) Shares in the Company pursuant to a bona fide purchase offer at an offered price per Share higher than the Issue Price (“Drag-Along Event”), such holder of Shares (“Relevant Selling Shareholder[s]”) shall be entitled to require that all other Shareholders sell all their shares to the proposed acquirer (“Drag-Along Right”) and shall notify the other Shareholders thereof, mutatis mutandis in accordance with Section 7.6.1 (“Drag-Along Notice”). The Company shall inform each Shareholder within five days after receipt of the Drag-Along Notice about the day the Transfer of the Shares to the proposed acquirer shall be completed which shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than six months as from the date of receipt of the Drag-Along Notice.

 

12

 

For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, unless the proposed acquirer qualifies as Affiliate of a Founder, Section 7.3 shall not apply in case of a Drag-Along Event.

 

If a Shareholder not being a Relevant Selling Shareholder is in doubt whether the proposed acquirer qualifies as Affiliate of a Founder or not, such Shareholder shall be entitled to solicit and to submit to the Relevant Selling Shareholders a bona fide purchase offer at an offered price per Share higher than what the proposed acquirer offered (“Improved Offer”), in which case the Transfer of all Shares shall be completed in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Improved Offer with the potential acquirer having submitted such Improved Offer.

 

7.6.2.Terms of Drag-Along Right

 

The terms of the Drag-Along Right shall be the same consideration per Share and, except as set forth in Section 7.6.3, otherwise at the same terms and conditions as applicable to the Relevant Selling Shareholders.

 

The proceeds resulting from such Transfer in case of a Drag-Along Event or based on an Improved Offer shall be deemed to constitute Liquidation proceeds and shall be allocated to the Shareholders in accordance with Appendix 1.6 of the Investment and Subscription Agreement to which this Agreement serves as Appendix E.

 

7.6.3.Key Terms and Conditions

 

The terms and conditions of the Transfer of Shares shall include the following:

 

(a)Each other Shareholder’s liability for representations and warranties shall, to the extent legally permissible, be limited to a maximum of 50% percent of its purchase price, and be subject to the same time limitations as the Relevant Selling Shareholder[s]’ liability. Each other Shareholder shall, upon request by the Relevant Selling Shareholder[s], be obliged to pay the same percentage of its purchase price for the same time periods into an escrow account in favor of the acquirer as the Relevant Selling Shareholder[s]. Each other Shareholder shall be severally, and not jointly liable for the representations and warranties.

 

(b)Each other Shareholder shall give the representations and warranties which the acquirer or the Relevant Selling Shareholder[s] may reasonably request, reflecting such Shareholder’s stake in and position with respect to the Company (i.e. founder, senior manager, employee, passive investor). Except as otherwise provided for herein and unless the Relevant Selling Shareholders may reasonably request otherwise (in particular because they agreed to such term or condition regarding their Shares), the terms and conditions of the Investment Agreement regarding representations and warranties, indemnification and remedies shall apply, mutatis mutandis.

 

13

 

(c)Each other Shareholder shall bear its own costs and taxes imposed on it.

 

7.7.Purchase Option

 

7.7.1.Triggering Events

 

Subject to the provisions in this Section 7.7, the Parties (“Option Parties”) shall have an option (“Purchase Option”) to purchase the Shares of any other Shareholder (“Restricted Party”) in proportion to the nominal value of their shareholdings in the Company or in such other proportions and/or other terms as they may agree in writing between themselves if any of the following events (“Triggering Event”) occurs:

 

(a)the Restricted Party commits a criminal act against the interests of a Party, of the Company or of any of its Affiliates;

 

(b)the Restricted Party materially breaches this Agreement, unless such breach and its effects are fully cured within 20 days upon notification in writing of the breach and its effects by any other Party, or terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 9;

 

(c)the employment agreement between a Restricted Party and the Company is terminated and the Restricted Party is considered a Bad Leaver;

 

(d)the employment agreement between a Restricted Party and the Company is terminated or a Restricted Party acquires Shares based on an ESOP after such termination and the Restricted Party is considered a Good Leaver in either case at the time of the termination.

 

7.7.2.Exercise of Purchase Option

 

The Restricted Party shall notify the other Parties of the occurrence of any Triggering Event. Upon receipt of such notice or upon a Triggering Event becoming known to the other Parties, such other Parties shall be entitled to purchase all Shares held by the Restricted Party, in proportion to the nominal value of their shareholdings or in such other proportions as they may agree in writing between them, and, in case of the occurrence of any of the Triggering Events listed in Section 7.7.1 (a), (b) or (d), at the higher of the “Fair Market Value” and the nominal value of the Shares. Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies, in case of the occurrence of any of the Triggering Event (c), the purchase price shall be the lower of the fair market value and the nominal value of the Shares.

 

If the Parties cannot agree on the fair market value, each Party may request its determination by Mr. Olivier Kobel, Managing Director at SMC Corporate Finance GmbH with his principle place of business at Florastrasse 49, CH-8008 Zurich, Switzerland as independent expert, or if such independent expert refuses or is not able to act, by an experienced international accounting firm appointed by the President of the Zurich Chamber of Commerce, (“Expert”) on the basis of a valuation of the Company using methods customarily used at that time to establish the value of businesses in that industry, excluding any control premium for obtaining a majority of the voting rights in the Company or any block premium. The fair market value as determined by the Expert shall be binding and final on the Parties, unless based on calculation errors, in which case the fair market value as corrected by the Expert shall be binding.

 

14

 

The Option Parties who intend to exercise the Purchase Option shall notify the Restricted Party and the other Parties of their intent to exercise the Purchase Option within 30 days following receipt of notice of a Triggering Event or, as the case may be, following such Triggering Event becoming known to them, and shall thereafter commence the valuation procedure by mandating the Expert if no agreement on the price can be reached within another 20 days. The Option Parties shall exercise the Purchase Option no later than 20 days following agreement on the fair market value or receipt of the final determination of the fair market value from the Expert by giving written notice to the other Parties. The Restricted Party, on the one hand, and the Option Parties who announced their intent to exercise the Purchase Option, on the other hand, shall bear the fees, costs and expenses of the Expert in proportion to the fair market values claimed by them at the beginning of the procedure differing from the fair market value as determined by the Expert. If requested by the Expert, the relevant Restricted Party, on the one hand, and the Option Parties who announced their intent to exercise the Purchase Option, on the other hand, shall make advance payments in respect of fees, costs and expenses to the Expert in equal parts.

 

7.8.Right to Sale

 

The restrictions under Sections 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6 and 7.7 of this Agreement shall not apply to the following right to sale:

 

7.8.1.Right to Sale by Investor to Founder

 

The Investor shall have the right to sell all its Shares held (“Sale Shares”) at any time to the Company or the Founder at a total nominal fee of CHF 1.00 by providing written notice to the Company and the Founder stating the number of Sale Shares (“Put Notice”) and the Company in first priority and Founder in second priority herewith accept to purchase these Sale Shares.

 

Upon receipt of the Put Notice by the Company and the Founder, a legally binding share purchase agreement with regard to the Sale Shares shall come into existence between the Investor serving a Put Notice as seller and the Company and the Founder as buyer. Unless otherwise agreed by the relevant Parties, the transfer of the Sale Shares and the payment of the purchase price for the Sale Shares (i.e. the nominal value of all Sale Shares) shall be completed within 10 days since the receipt of the Put Notice.

 

15

 

For the avoidance of any doubts, it is the Parties understanding the Company shall be primarily obliged to acquire the Sale Shares. However, the obligation of the Company to buy the Sale Shares is subject to it being permitted to acquire own shares in accordance with art. 659 CO. If and to the extent the number of Sale Shares exceeds the number of own shares the Company is permitted to acquire, the Founder and Other Shareholders undertake to acquire such exceeding number of Sale Shares pro rata to his then shareholding in the share capital of the Company.

 

7.8.2.Right to Sale by Founder

 

The Founder Directors shall have the right to sell their Shares to the Investor according to the following “Founder Directors’ Share Sale Schedule”:

 

As of January 1, 2024, 33% of total outstanding Founder Director Shares at a valuation of 15 times EBITDA audited 2023 Company financial results according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) accounting practices.

 

As of January 1, 2025, 66% of total outstanding Founder Director Shares at a valuation of 15 times EBITDA audited 2024 Company financial results according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) accounting practices.

 

The Investor and the Founder agree that based on the Company’s audited figures of 2025, the Founder is free to find a new buyer for the Company. The Founder shall have the right to hire financial advisors in the pursuit to look for such a new buyer. This process shall start latest by June 1, 2025.

 

In case Board formally decides with the majority of the Founder Directors’ votes to sell the Company, but Investor and Founder cannot agree on the sale to a 3rd party by 20 December 2025, the Founder - and potentially Other Shareholders who have joined the Company as key people or Directors - will be allowed to sell 100% of his, or their Shares as the case may be, to the Investor by providing written notice to the Investor stating the number of Sale Shares (“Put Notice”).

 

As of January 1, 2026, 100% of total outstanding Founder Director Shares at a valuation equal to the LOWER of the following two options:

 

a)15 times EBITDA audited 2025 Company financial results according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) accounting practices.
b)A fully-funded Acquisition Proposal based on the Company’s audited 2025 financial results according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) accounting practices in case the Investor prefers to sell the Company at this point in time.

In case Board formally decides with the majority of the Investor Directors’ votes to sell the Company, but Investor and Founder cannot agree on the sale to a 3rd party by 20 December 2025, the Founder Directors will be allowed to sell 100% of their Shares at a valuation equal to the HIGHER of the following two options:

 

c)15 times EBITDA audited 2025 Company financial results according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) accounting practices.
d)A fully-funded Acquisition Proposal based on the Company’s audited 2025 financial results according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) accounting practices in case the Investor prefers to sell the Company at this point in time.

 

At any time, the Founder Directors choose to sell of their own Shares in the Company to the Investor, they will have to issue a Put Notice. Upon receipt of the Put Notice by the Investor, a legally binding share purchase agreement with regard to the Sale Shares shall come into existence between the Founder and Other Shareholders serving a Put Notice as sellers and the Investor as buyer. Unless otherwise agreed by the relevant Parties, the transfer of the Sale Shares and the payment of the purchase price for the Sale Shares shall be completed within 10 days since the receipt of the Put Notice. The Investor shall be free to choose either cash or his own NASDAQ-listed shares as means of payment for these Sale Shares. The Investor’s NASDAQ-listed shares shall be valued as an Average Share Price of the 30 trading days prior to the date of the Put Notice. The Investor’s NASDAQ-listed shares to be utilized for payment of these Founder Director Shares shall be free of any restrictions.

 

7.8.3.Right to File for an Initial Public Offering (IPO)

 

Both Parties shall have the right to select an underwriter for listing of Shares of the Company on an internationally recognized securities exchange, such as the official list of SIX Swiss Exchange for a “Qualified IPO” with a price per Share of at least five time the Issue Price (subject to adjustments for stock splits, combinations, dividends and similar events). As of the date the Company Publishes an IPO Prospectus (“IPO Prospectus Publishing Date”), Section 7.8.2 no longer applies.

 

Should the Board formally decide with the majority of the Founder Directors’ votes to file for a “Non-Qualified IPO” with a Share price below the equivalent of five times the Issue Price (subject to adjustments for stock splits, combinations, dividends and similar events), Section 7.8.2 no longer applies.

 

Should Board formally decide with the majority of the Investor Directors’ votes to file for a Non-Qualified IPO, Section 7.8.2 continues to apply.

 

8.Liquidated Damages

 

Each Shareholder being in material breach of any provision of this Agreement (it being understood that any breach of Sections 4, 7 or 10.3 shall be deemed a material breach for purposes of this Section 8) shall pay liquidated damages (Konventionalstrafe) to each of the non-defaulting Shareholders in the amount of CHF 50’000.- for each violation or breach.

17

 

Notwithstanding the payment of the liquidated damages, the defaulting Shareholder (i) shall be liable to each of the non-defaulting Shareholders for any losses and damages incurred by such non-defaulting Shareholders in excess of its entitlement to the amount of CHF 50’000.- as set forth in the paragraph above (which entitlement shall be pro rata to the relevant non-defaulting Shareholder’s shareholdings in the Company), and (ii) shall continue to be bound by the terms of the violated provision, for which each of the non-defaulting Shareholders may continue to seek specific enforcement and/or such other injunctive relief as may be granted by any court and/or arbitral tribunal of competent jurisdiction.
