Governance Proposal A – Authorized Shares of Stock | | | The RFAC Charter authorizes a total of 401,000,000 shares consisting of 380,000,000 shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock; 20,000,000 shares of RFAC Class B Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock | | | The authorized share capital of the PubCo is US$50,000 divided into 500,000,000 shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each. | |
Governance Proposal B – Dual Class of Stock | | | The RFAC Charter provides for two classes of RFAC Common Stock — Class A and Class B — with the shares of RFAC Class B Common Stock to convert into shares of RFAC Class A Common Stock upon completion of an initial business combination | | | The PubCo Charter provides for only one class of ordinary shares although it authorizes the board to divide the authorized ordinary shares into different classes which may have differing rights and restrictions, as determined by the board. | |
Governance Proposal C – Provisions Applicable to Blank Stock Companies. | | | Article IX of the RFAC Charter sets forth various provisions that are applicable to RFAC’s operation as a blank check company prior to its initial business combination. | | | The PubCo Charter does not include any of these blank check company provisions. | |
Governance Proposal D – Removal of Directors | | | RFAC’s Charter provides that directors may only be removed for cause and only upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares; further, as long as there are any shares of RFAC Class B Common Stock outstanding, any removal will also require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the RFAC Class B Common Stock shares outstanding. | | | Under the PubCo Charter, any director may be removed, with or without cause, by an ordinary resolution which requires the affirmative of a simple majority of the shares entitled to vote at a general meeting of PubCo. Directors may also be removed by notice in writing signed by not less than three-fourths of all the Directors in number and may otherwise cease to hold office in any other manner provided for in the PubCo Charter. | |

Upon completion of the Business Combination, all issued and outstanding shares will be of one class. | |
Preferred (Preference) Shares
|
| | The RFAC Governing Documents empowers the RFAC Board to, by resolution, create and issue one or more series of preferred stock and, with respect to such series, determine the number of shares constituting the series and the designations and the powers, preferences and rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions, if any, of the series. | | | The PubCo Charter empowers the PubCo Board to divide the authorized shares into one or more classes with differing rights, restrictions, powers and preferences as the PubCo Board shall determine and to issue the same in accordance with the PubCo Charter and any exchange rules that may apply. | |
Amendments to Organizational Documents (i.e., PubCo Charter and RFAC Charter)
|
| | RFAC reserves the right to amend alter, change or repeal any provision contained in the RFAC Charter (other than provisions relating to business combination requirements) by a majority vote | | | The PubCo Charter may be amended by a special resolution which requires the approval of a majority of not less than two-thirds of the shares represented at a meeting and | |

| | | The RFAC Board has the power to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the RFAC Bylaws with the affirmative vote of a majority of the RFAC Board. The RFAC Bylaws also may be adopted, amended, altered or repealed by RFAC Stockholders; provided, however, that in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of RFAC Capital Stock required by applicable law or the RFAC Charter, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of RFAC Capital Stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, shall be required for the stockholders to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the RFAC Bylaws; and provided, further, however, that no Bylaws hereafter adopted by the stockholders shall invalidate any prior act of the Board. | | | | |
Voting Rights
|
| | Holders of RFAC Common Stock shall exclusively possess all voting power with respect to RFAC. | | | Holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares possess all voting power with respect to PubCo. | |
| | | Holders of shares of RFAC Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each such share on each matter properly submitted to the stockholders on which the holders of the RFAC Common Stock are entitled to vote. | | | Holders of PubCo Ordinary Shares are entitled to one vote for each matter put before a meeting. | |
| | | At any annual or special meeting of RFAC Stockholders, holders of RFAC Class A Common Stock and holders of RFAC Class B Common Stock, voting together as a single class, shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and on all other matters properly submitted to a vote of the | | | | |

Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise required by Delaware law or the RFAC Charter (including any preferred share designation), holders of shares of any series of RFAC Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to the RFAC Charter (including any amendment to any preferred share designation) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of preferred shares or other series of RFAC Common Stock if the holders of such affected series of preferred shares or RFAC Common Stock, as applicable, are entitled exclusively, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to Delaware law or the RFAC Charter. | | | | |
Redemption and Repurchases of Shares; Treasury Shares
|
| |
Pursuant to Delaware law, shares may be repurchased or otherwise acquired, subject to the solvency restrictions of Delaware law, and except that shares subject to redemption at the option of RFAC may not be repurchased at a price which exceeds the price at which they could then be redeemed.
Pursuant to Delaware law, RFAC may hold or sell treasury shares.
|
| |
Under the Companies Act, shares may be redeemed or repurchased out of (a) profits, (b) share premium (subject to the statutory solvency test), (c) the proceeds of a fresh issuance of shares made for that purpose, or (d) capital, provided that payments out of capital are subject to the statutory solvency test and must be specifically authorized by a company’s articles of association.
Ordinary Shares are not redeemable, but under the PubCo Charter, the PubCo Board may determine to repurchase shares on such terms as the board of directors determines or agrees with the relevant shareholder. No shareholder approval is required under the PubCo Charter. Any Ordinary Shares that have been repurchased may be held or sold as treasury shares pursuant to, and in accordance with, the PubCo Charter.

Notice Requirements for Shareholder/Stockholder Nominations and Other Proposals
|
| | As permitted (but not required) by Delaware law, the RFAC Bylaws provide that, in general, to bring a matter before an annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate a candidate for election as a director, a stockholder must give notice of the proposed matter or nomination not less than 90 days and not more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders. The RFAC Bylaws provide that in the event the date of the annual meeting of stockholders is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, such stockholder notice must be delivered not less than 90 days and not more than 120 days prior to such annual meeting or, in the case of a special meeting called for the purpose of electing directors, not later than the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by RFAC. | | | There is no equivalent provision in the PubCo Charter. | |
Meeting of Shareholders/ Stockholders – Notice
|
| | As required by Delaware law, the RFAC Bylaws require not less than 10 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice of a meeting of stockholders to be provided to stockholders, unless Delaware law provides for a different period. | | | As required by the PubCo Charter, at least 10 “clear” days notice must be given of any meeting of shareholders. A “clear” day means the period excluding the day on which the notice is given, or deemed to be given, and the day the notice is received, or deemed received. | |
Meeting of Shareholders/ Stockholders – Call of Meeting

Meeting of Shareholders/ Stockholders – Quorum
|
| |
Pursuant to Delaware law, the RFAC Charter or bylaws may specify the number of shares required to constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders, but in no event may a quorum consist of less than one-third of shares entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders.
Under the RFAC Bylaws, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at meeting of stockholders is required to constitute a quorum. Also under the RFAC Bylaws, if a quorum is absent at a meeting of stockholders, the chairman of the meeting is able to adjourn the meeting. Notice will not need to be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be

Meeting of Shareholders/ Stockholders – Record Date
|
| | Pursuant to Delaware law, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders will be as fixed by the board of directors, but may not precede the date on which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors and may not be more than 60 days nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting of stockholders. If the board of directors so fixes a date, such date will also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the board of directors determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting will be the date for making such determination.

Directors – Election/Appointment
|
| | Subject to the rights of the holders of one or more series of preferred shares, voting separately by class or series, to elect directors pursuant to the terms of one or more series of preferred shares, the election of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon. | | | Directors are elected by an ordinary resolution (which is a simple majority threshold). | |
Directors – Term

Directors and Officers – Fiduciary Duties
|
| |
Under Delaware law:
•
Directors and officers must act in good faith, with due care, and in the best interest of the corporation and all of its stockholders.
•
Directors and officers must refrain from self-dealing, usurping corporate opportunities and receiving improper personal benefits.
•
Decisions made by directors on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action was taken in the best interest of the corporation and all of its stockholders will be protected by the “business judgment rule.”
|
| |
Under the PubCo Charter, any Director may appoint an alternate or a proxy.
As a matter of Cayman Islands law, the duties of a director primarily derive from common law, the Companies Act, and the articles of association of a company.
Under common law principles that will be applied by the Cayman Islands courts, directors have fiduciary duties, including: (a) the duty to act honestly and in good faith in what he or she considers are the best interests of the company (generally meaning the interests of the shareholders as a whole); (b) the duty of loyalty and to avoid actual or potential conflicts of interest arising between his or her duties to the company and his or her personal interest (subject to the caveat that the articles of association may authorize conflicts that have been disclosed to the other directors); (c) a duty to exercise his or her powers as a director under the Companies Act and the articles of association of the company only for the purposes for which they are conferred and not for a collateral or improper purpose;

| | | | | |
and (d) a duty not to fetter his or her exercise of future discretion as a director.
Directors also have a common law duty to act with care, diligence and skill in the performance of his or her role. The duties of care, diligence and skill of a director of a Cayman Islands company are generally determined by both reference to the knowledge and experience actually possessed by the director and by reference to the skill, care and diligence as would be displayed by a reasonable director in those circumstances.
The Companies Act contains certain statutory duties, including: (a) the duty not to pay or make any distribution to shareholders out of capital or share premium unless a company is able to pay its debts as they fall due following such payment; and (b) the duty to maintain certain statutory registers and proper books and records.
A director must also act in accordance with any specific duties set forth in the articles of association from time to time.
A director who fails to perform their Cayman Islands common law duties may be personally liable for financial compensation to the aggrieved party, the restoration of the company’s property, or for the payment to the company of any profits made in breach of the director’s duty.
In addition, a director who fails to perform their duties under the Companies Act may be personally liable to a statutory fine and/or imprisonment of varying severity depending on the nature of the duty breached. This liability is in addition to any liability the company itself may be subject to.

A Cayman Islands company may also purchase insurance for directors and certain other officers against liability incurred as a result of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the company. Please see “Director — Indemnification; Indemnification Insurance’’ below. | |
Director – Indemnification; Indemnification Insurance

A summary of indemnification of officers and directors under Delaware law, the RFAC Governing Documents and director indemnification agreements is discussed below following this table of comparison.
A Delaware corporation may purchase insurance in relation to any person who is or was a director or officer of the corporation.
|
| |
The PubCo Charter provides that every current and former director and officer shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by law, except where the liability has arisen as a result of the actual fraud or wilful default of such person. PubCo must also advance reasonable legal fees and costs provided that the indemnified person undertakes to repay such amounts if it is determined that the individual was not entitled to be indemnified.
Pubco may purchase insurance for the purpose of providing this indemnification.

Dissolution/Winding Up
|
| | Under Delaware law, the dissolution of a corporation requires either (1) the approval of the board of directors and at least a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote thereon or (2) the approval of all of the stockholders entitled to vote thereon. | | |
Under the Cayman Companies Act, a voluntary liquidation may be commenced by the shareholders of a company if a special resolution is passed to that effect. The directors are then required to swear a declaration of the company’s solvency within 28 days of the voluntary liquidation resolution being passed. If the directors are unable to do so, the voluntary liquidator appointed by the voluntary liquidation resolution will apply to the Cayman Islands courts for a supervision order and the liquidation will proceed under the supervision of the Cayman Islands courts.
In addition, any shareholder who has held shares for at least six months (or any lesser period if the shares are held following transmission on death of a former shareholder) is entitled to petition the Cayman Islands courts to make a winding up order. A Cayman Islands court may make a winding up order if it is of the opinion that it is just and equitable that the company should be wound up. However, where a shareholder has contractually agreed not to present a petition for winding up against a company, the Companies Act provides that the Cayman Islands courts shall dismiss any petition for winding up by that shareholder.

Dissenters’/Appraisal Rights
|
| | A stockholder may dissent and obtain fair value of shares in connection with certain mergers and consolidations. | | |
The Companies Act does not specifically provide for any appraisal rights.
However, in connection with the compulsory transfer of shares where a person has acquired at least 90% of the shares of the same class pursuant to an offer for all of the shares of that class and proceeds to serve notice of
|

|

| | | | | |
compulsory for acquisition of the remainder (as described above in “Business combinations”), any shareholder to whom such compulsory acquisition applies may apply to the Cayman Islands court within one month of receiving notice of the compulsory transfer to object to the transfer. In these circumstances, the burden is on the objecting shareholder to show that the court should exercise its discretion to prevent the compulsory transfer. The Cayman Islands courts are unlikely to grant any relief in the absence of bad faith, fraud, unequal treatment of shareholders or collusion as between the offeror and the holders of the shares who have accepted the offer as a means of unfairly forcing out minority shareholders.
In addition, in connection with a merger or a consolidation, dissenting shareholders have the right to object to the terms of merger or consolidation approved by special resolution and instead be paid the fair value of their shares in cash (which, if not agreed between the parties, will be determined by the Cayman Islands court).These rights of a dissenting shareholder are not available in certain circumstances, for example, (i) to dissenters holding shares of any class in respect of which an open market exists on a recognized stock exchange or recognized interdealer quotation system at the relevant date or (ii) where the consideration for such shares to be contributed are shares of the surviving or consolidated company (or depositary receipts in respect thereof) or shares of any other company (or depositary receipts in respect thereof) which are listed on a national securities

Shareholders’/Stockholders’ Derivative Actions
|
| |
Pursuant to Delaware law, in any derivative suit instituted by a stockholder of a corporation, it must be averred in the complaint that the plaintiff was a stockholder of the corporation at the time of the transaction of which the stockholder complains or that such stockholder’s stock thereafter devolved upon such stockholder by operation of law.
Pursuant to Delaware law, the complaint must set forth with particularity the efforts of the plaintiff to obtain action by the board of directors (“demand refusal”) or the reasons for not making such effort (“demand excusal”).
Such action may not be dismissed or compromised without the approval of the court.
In general, the stockholder instituting the derivative suit must maintain stock ownership through the pendency of the derivative suit.
|
| |
Under common law principles, shareholders in a Cayman Islands company are entitled to have the affairs of a company conducted in accordance with such company’s constitution and applicable law. As such, shareholders may bring personal or representative actions against a company in respect of breaches of their (and other similarly affected shareholders’) rights as shareholders under the constitution of the company and applicable law (for example, in the event that they are prevented from exercising voting rights, or from requisitioning a meeting).
A minority shareholder may also bring a derivative action in the name of a company. While, as a matter of common law (under the general rule known as the rule in Foss v. Harbottle), the Cayman Islands courts will generally refuse to interfere with the management of a company at the insistence of a minority shareholder in circumstances where the majority have approved or ratified the matter or act in contention, a minority shareholder may be permitted to commence a derivative action in the name of a company in order to challenge any such matter or act which: (a) is ultra vires the company or illegal; (b) constitutes a fraud on the minority where the wrongdoers control the company; (c) constitutes an infringement of individual rights of shareholders (such as a right to attend and vote at a meeting); and/or (d) has not been properly approved in accordance with any applicable

special or extraordinary majority of the shareholders.
The Companies Act also gives power to the Cayman Islands courts to wind up a company if the courts are of the opinion that it would be just and equitable to do so (and if the courts consider it just and equitable to wind up the company, they may instead make other orders with respect to the company as an alternative to a winding up order). The basis on which the courts may make exercise such powers on application by shareholders in a Cayman Islands company have been held to include the following: (a) the substratum of the company has disappeared; (b) there has been some fraud on the minority or illegality; and (c) there has been mismanagement or misapplication of the company’s funds.

Anti-Takeover Provision/Regulation of Takeovers, Substantial Acquisition Rules
|
| |
Delaware law generally prohibits “business combinations,” including mergers, sales and leases of assets, issuances of securities and similar transactions by a corporation, with an “interested stockholder” who directly or indirectly beneficially owns 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock, within three years after the person or entity becomes an interested stockholder, unless:

Business Combination
|
| | Under Delaware law, in a process known as a “short form” merger, a corporation that owns at least 90% of the outstanding shares of each class of voting stock of another corporation that, absent such law, would be entitled to vote on such merger, may either merge the other corporation into itself and assume all of its obligations or merge itself into the other corporation by executing, acknowledging and filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of such ownership and merger setting forth a copy of the resolution of its board of directors authorizing such merger. If the parent corporation is a Delaware corporation that is not the surviving corporation, the merger also must be approved by a majority of the outstanding stock of the parent corporation entitled to vote thereon. If the parent corporation does not own all of the stock of the subsidiary corporation immediately prior to the merger, the minority stockholders of the subsidiary corporation party to the merger will have appraisal rights. | | |
The Companies Act makes specific provision for the acquisition of a Cayman Islands company by way of a court-approved scheme of arrangement, by way of mandatory squeeze-out following a tender offer, and by way of merger.
A court-approved scheme of arrangement under the Companies Act requires the approval of a majority in number of the registered holders of each participating class or series of shares voting on the scheme of arrangement, representing 75% or more in value of the shares of each participating classes or series voted on such proposal at the relevant meeting (excluding any shares held by the acquiring party on the basis that they will be considered a separate “class”). If a scheme of arrangement receives the requisite shareholder approval and is subsequently sanctioned by the Cayman Islands courts, all holders of all classes or series of shares to which the series relates will be bound by the terms of the scheme of arrangement.
The Companies Act also provides that, where an offer is made to acquire all of a class of shares and the holders of 90% or more in value of the shares of such class (excluding shares already held by the offeror) have accepted such offer within four months of it being made, the offeror may require the remaining shareholders in that class to transfer their shares on the same terms as set out in the offer by serving notice at any time within two months of the expiry of the four month period (subject to a
|
|
Provision
|
| |
RFAC
|
| |

|
|
| | | | | |
right of such remaining shareholders to obtain relief from the Cayman Islands courts, as described below in “Appraisal rights”). If the offeror acquires more than 90% of the shares of a class following such an offer but does not exercise its compulsory acquisition right, the remaining shareholders have no right to require the offeror to acquire their shares on the terms of the offer following closure of the offer.
The Companies Act also provides that business combinations can be effected by way of a merger of a Cayman Islands company with one or more other companies (wherever incorporated, provided that such merger is not prohibited by the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of any such other company) with the approval of the shareholders by special resolution. In addition, the consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security of a constituent company in any such merger must be obtained, unless the Cayman Islands courts waive such requirement. Shareholders who register their dissent to the merger in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act have the right to receive the “fair value” of their shares in cash, subject to certain exceptions, as further described below in “Dissenters’/Appraisal rights”).

7. | CLOSURE OF THE REGISTER OF MEMBERS AND FIXING A RECORD DATE |
7.1 | Power of Directors to close the Register of Members |
For the purpose of determining Members entitled to notice of, or to vote at any meeting of Members or any adjournment of a meeting, or Members entitled to receive payment of any Dividend, or in order to make a determination of Members for any other proper purpose, the Directors may provide that the Register of Members shall be closed for transfers for a stated period which shall not in any case exceed 40 days.
7.2 | Power of Directors to fix a record date |
In lieu of, or apart from, closing the Register of Members, the Directors may fix in advance or arrear a date as the record date for any such determination of Members entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the Members, and for the purpose of determining the Members entitled to receive payment of any Dividend or in order to make a determination of Members for any other purpose.
7.3 | Circumstances where Register of Members is not closed and no fixed record date |
If the Register of Members is not closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of Members entitled to notice of, or to vote at, a meeting of Members or Members entitled to receive payment of a Dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is sent or the date on which the resolution of the Directors declaring such Dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of Members. When a determination of Members entitled to vote at any meeting of Members has been made as provided in this Article, such determination shall apply to any adjournment of that meeting.
8. | SHARE CERTIFICATES |
8.1 | Issue of share certificates |
A Member shall only be entitled to a share certificate if the Directors resolve that share certificates shall be issued.
11
8.2 | Form of share certificates |
Share certificates, if any, shall be in such form as the Directors may determine and shall be signed by one or more Directors or any other person so authorised by the Directors. The Directors may authorise share certificates to be issued with the authorised signature(s) affixed by mechanical process. All share certificates shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified and shall specify the number and class of Shares to which they relate. All share certificates surrendered to the Company for transfer shall be cancelled and subject to these Articles no new certificate shall be issued until the former certificate evidencing a like number of relevant Shares shall have been surrendered and cancelled. Where only some of the Shares evidenced by a share certificate are transferred, the old certificate shall be surrendered and cancelled and a new certificate for the balance of the Shares shall be issued in lieu without charge.
8.3 | Certificates for jointly-held Shares |
If the Company issues a share certificate in respect of Shares held jointly by more than one person, delivery of a single share certificate to one joint holder shall be a sufficient delivery to all of them.
8.4 | Replacement of share certificates |
If a share certificate is defaced, worn-out or alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, a new share certificate shall be issued on the payment of such expenses reasonably incurred by the Company and the person requiring the new share certificate shall first surrender the defaced or worn-out share certificate or give such evidence of the loss, theft or destruction of the share certificate and such indemnity to the Company as the Directors may require.
9. | TRANSFER OF SHARES |
9.1 | Written instrument of transfer |
Subject to these Articles, a Share is transferable by means of a written instrument of transfer in any usual or common form for use in the Cayman Islands or any other form approved by the Directors and which:
(a) | has been executed by or on behalf of the transferor; and |
(b) | is accompanied by such documentation that the Directors may request. |
9.2 | Refusal to register transfers |
(a) | The Directors may resolve to refuse to register any transfer of Shares (other than a transfer of the Subscriber Shares by the Subscriber) and are not obliged to give any reason for that refusal, provided that the Directors may (with or without conditions) irrevocably waive or modify this right in connection with the listing of Shares on a stock exchange or where the free transferability of Shares is otherwise desirable. |
(b) | If the Directors refuse to register a transfer of Shares they must, within two months of such refusal (i) give notice of the refusal to the registered holder of the Shares and the proposed transferee named on the transfer and (ii) at their election, either destroy any instrument of transfer provided to them in respect of such proposed transfer, or return such instrument to the person who provided it to them. Failure to provide such notice or to destroy or return such instrument does not invalidate the decision of the Directors to refuse to register that transfer. |
12
9.3 | Effect of registration |
The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of the Share transferred until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register of Members in respect of that Share.
10. | TRANSMISSION OF SHARES |
10.1 | Transmission of Shares |
If a Member dies, becomes bankrupt, commences liquidation or is dissolved, the only person that the Company will recognise as having any title to, or interest in, that Member’s Share (other than the Member) are:
(a) | if the deceased Member was a joint holder, the survivor; |
(b) | if the deceased Member was a sole or the only surviving holder, the personal representative of that Member; or |
(c) | any trustee in bankruptcy or other person succeeding to the Member’s interest by operation of law, |
but nothing in these Articles releases the estate of a deceased Member, or any other successor by operation of law, from any liability in respect of any Share held by that Member solely or jointly.
10.2 | Election by persons entitled on transmission |
Any person becoming entitled to a Share as a result of the death, bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Directors, elect either to become registered as the holder of the Share or nominate another person to be registered as the holder of that Share.
10.3 | Manner of election |
A person who makes an election under the preceding Article shall give written notice to the Company to that effect, but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to refuse registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by that Member before his death, bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution, as the case may be.
10.4 | Rights of persons entitled by transmission |
A person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death, bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the same Dividends and other rights to which he would be entitled if he were the registered holder of the Share. However, the person shall not, before being registered as a Member in respect of the Share, be entitled in respect of it to attend or vote at any meeting of the Company and the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered himself or to have some person nominated by him registered as the holder (and the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to refuse registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by that Member before his death, bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution, as the case may be). If the notice is not complied with within 90 days the Directors may withhold payment of all Dividends, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the Share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.
13
10.5 | No surviving Member or Director |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, where there is no Director in office and the only persons interested in the issued Shares are entitled on transmission, such persons shall be treated as if already registered as the holders of such Shares, but solely for the purpose of passing an Ordinary Resolution appointing one or more Directors.

The Company may make a payment in respect of the purchase of its own Shares in any manner permitted by the Companies Act, including out of capital.

14
13. | CLASS RIGHTS AND CLASS MEETINGS |
13.1 | Variation of class rights |
Subject to the Companies Act, whether or not Shares are divided into more than one class, all or any of the rights attached to a class of Shares may be varied in such manner as those rights may provide or, if no such provision is made, either:
(a) | by the Directors, provided that such variation is not materially adverse to the rights of the holders of such Shares (as determined by the Directors); |
(b) | with the consent in writing of holders of two-thirds of the issued Shares of that class; or |
(c) | with the sanction of a resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares of that class by a two-thirds majority of the holders of the Shares of that class present and voting at such meeting (whether in person or by proxy). |
13.2 | Treatment of classes of Shares by Directors |
The Directors may for the purposes of this Article, treat two or more, or all, of the classes of Shares as forming one class of Shares if the Directors consider that such classes of Shares would be affected by the proposed variation in the same way.
13.3 | Class rights not deemed to be varied |
Except where expressly provided by the terms of the issue of the Shares of that class, the rights attached to any class of Shares are not taken to be varied by:
(a) | the creation or issue of further Shares ranking equally with or subordinate to them; or |
(b) | the repurchase, redemption or surrender of any Shares. |
13.4 | Class meetings |
The provisions of these Articles relating to general meetings of the Company shall apply mutatis mutandis to any class meeting, except that the quorum shall be one or more Members that together hold at least one third of the Shares of that class.
14. | NO RECOGNITION OF TRUSTS OR THIRD PARTY INTERESTS |
Except as required by these Articles or the Companies Act, the Company:
(a) | is not required to recognise a person as holding any Share on any trust, even if the Company has notice of the trust; and |
(b) | is not required to recognise, and is not bound by, any interest in or claim to any Share, except for the registered holder’s absolute legal ownership of the Share, even if the Company has notice of that interest or claim. |
15. | LIEN ON SHARES |

The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on all Shares registered in the name of a Member (whether solely or jointly with others) for all debts, liabilities or amounts payable to or with the Company (whether presently payable or not) by such Member or his estate, either alone or jointly with any other person, whether a Member or not, but the Directors may at any time determine any Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The Company’s lien on a Share is released if a transfer of that Share is registered.
15
15.2 | Enforcement of lien |
The Company may sell, on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit, any Share on which the Company has a lien, if a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, and is not paid within 14 Clear Days after notice has been given by the Company to the holder of the Share (or to any other person entitled to the Share by reason of the death, bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution of the holder of the Shares) demanding payment of that amount and giving notice of intention to sell the Share if such payment is not made.
15.3 | Completion of sale under lien |
To give effect to a sale of Shares under a lien the Directors may authorise any person to execute an instrument of transfer in respect of the Shares to be sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the relevant purchaser. The purchaser or his nominee shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer, and he shall not be bound to see to the application of any consideration provided for the Shares, nor will the purchaser’s title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in connection with the sale or the exercise of the Company's power of sale under these Articles.
15.4 | Application of proceeds of sale |
The net proceeds of a sale made under a lien after payment of costs, shall be applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable and any balance shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares before the sale) be paid to the person who was entitled to the Shares immediately prior to the sale.
16. | ALTERATION OF share CAPITAL |
The Company may by Ordinary Resolution:

18.2 | Members’ requisition |

(c) | A general meeting convened in accordance with this Article by requisitionists shall be convened (insofar as is possible) in the same manner as that in which general meetings are to be convened by Directors and the Directors shall, upon demand, provide the names and addresses of each Member to the requisitionists for the purpose of convening such meeting. |

19.2 | Omission or non-receipt of notice |
The accidental omission to give notice of a general meeting to, or the non-receipt of notice of a general meeting by, any person entitled to receive notice of a general meeting shall not invalidate the proceedings at that meeting.
20. | PROCEEDINGS AT GENERAL MEETINGS |
20.1 | Requirement and number for a quorum |
No item of business may be transacted at a general meeting unless a quorum is present. A quorum is two Members present in person or by proxy or by a duly authorised representative and entitled to vote unless the Company has only one Member in which case that Member alone constitutes a quorum.
20.2 | General meetings by telephone or other communications device |
A meeting of the Members may be held by means of any telephone, electronic or other communications facilities that permit all persons in the meeting to communicate with each other simultaneously and instantaneously and participation in such a meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting. Unless otherwise determined by resolution of the Members present, the meeting shall be deemed to be held at the place where the chairman is physically present.
18
20.3 | Adjournment if quorum not present |
If within 30 minutes after the time appointed for a general meeting a quorum is not present (or if during such a meeting a quorum ceases to be present), the meeting:

The chairman may, without the consent of the meeting, adjourn the meeting if it is necessary to ensure that all Members are able to participate in the meeting in an orderly fashion. When a general meeting is adjourned for 30 days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting.

Neither the chairman nor the minutes need state, and it is not necessary to prove, the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against the resolution. |
19
20.7 | No casting vote for chairman |
If there is an equality of votes either on a show of hands or on a poll, the chairman is not entitled to a second or casting vote.

(c) | immediately after the result of the show of hands on that resolution is declared. |
20.9 | Demand for poll |
A poll may be demanded by the chairman or one or more Members entitled to vote on the resolution. A demand for a poll does not prevent the continuance of the meeting for the transaction of any business other than the question on which the poll has been demanded.

(a) | it must be taken in the manner and at the date and time directed by the chairman; |
(b) | on the election of a chairman or on a question of adjournment, it must be taken immediately; |

The instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited at the Registered Office or at such other place as is specified in the notice convening the meeting (or in any instrument of proxy sent out by the Company) prior to the time set out in such notice or instrument (or if no such time is specified, no later than the time for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the chairman may, in any event, at his discretion, direct that an instrument of proxy shall be deemed to have been duly deposited.
22.5 | Validity of votes cast by proxy |
Votes given in accordance with the terms of an instrument of proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the previous death or insanity of the principal or revocation of the instrument of proxy or of the authority under which the instrument of proxy was executed, or the transfer of the Share in respect of which the proxy is appointed unless notice in writing of such death, insanity, revocation or transfer was received by the Company at the Registered Office before the commencement of the general meeting, or adjourned meeting at which the proxy voted.
22.6 | Corporate representatives |
Any non-natural person which is a Member may authorise such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any general meeting, and the person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the non-natural person which he represents as the non-natural person could exercise if it were itself a natural person.

29. | DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND RESERVES |
29.1 | Payment of Dividends |
Subject to the Companies Act and these Articles, the Directors may declare and/or pay Dividends and distributions on Shares in issue and authorise payment of the Dividends or distributions out of the funds of the Company lawfully available therefor. No Dividend or distribution shall be paid except out of the realised or unrealised profits of the Company, or out of the share premium account, or as otherwise permitted by the Companies Act. Unless the Directors resolve that a Dividend shall be a final dividend, any Dividend shall be deemed an interim Dividend and consequently may be cancelled by the Directors at any time before the date of payment of such Dividend.
29.2 | Calculation of Dividends |
Except as otherwise provided by these Articles or the rights attached to any Shares or the terms of any Shares, all Dividends shall be declared and/or paid according to the par value of the Shares that a Member holds. If any class of Share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for Dividend as from a particular date, that class of Share shall rank for Dividend accordingly.
29.3 | Deduction from Dividends |
The Directors may deduct from any Dividend or distribution payable to any Member all sums of money (if any) then payable by that Member to the Company.
29.4 | Dividend satisfied by distribution of specific assets |
The Directors may resolve or declare that any Dividend or distribution be paid wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets and in particular of shares, debentures, or securities of any other company or in any one or more of such ways and where any difficulty arises in regard to such distribution, the Directors may settle the same as they think expedient and in particular may issue fractional Shares and fix the value for distribution of such specific assets or any part thereof and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Members upon the basis of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all Members and may vest any such specific assets in trustees as may seem expedient to the Directors.
30
30. | PAYMENTS |
30.1 | Where the Company is required to make any payment to any Member or former Member (each, a "payee") for any reason whatsoever (including payment of any Dividend, redemption proceeds or other distribution): |
(a) | it may be made in such manner as the Directors may deem appropriate and no payee shall be entitled to require payment by cheque or in any other particular manner; |
(b) | such payment shall be at the risk and expense of the payee and the Company shall not be liable for any delay in, or loss arising from, any such payment for any reason whatsoever; |
(c) | where made by any electronic payment method, the due making of a payment instruction and consequent deduction from the bank account (or other financial institution account) of the Company shall be a good discharge by the Company of its payment obligations; |
(d) | where paid by a cheque sent through the post, it shall be sent (at the risk of the person entitled to the money represented thereby) to the registered address of, and made payable to, the order of the payee or to such other address and/or person as the payee may in writing direct, and the Company shall not be responsible for any loss in transmission; |
(e) | the Company shall be entitled to recover any overpayment of monies; |
(f) | the Company may set-off and apply any sums due by the payee (or by any one or more of joint payees) on any account whatsoever (whether or not presently payable) in reducing the amount of such payment by the Company; |
(g) | no unpaid amount shall bear interest against the Company; |
(h) | where the payment is unclaimed after 6 months from the date it first became payable (or any cheque in respect thereof remaining uncashed or unpresented after 6 months from the date of posting or in the case of a Dividend from the proposed date of payment thereof), it shall, if the Directors so resolve, be forfeited for the benefit of, and shall cease to remain owing by, the Company and shall thereafter belong to the Company absolutely; and |
(i) | in the case of any joint payees (including any current or former joint Members), payment may be made by the Company to any one or more of the joint payees, any payment instruction or direction from any one joint payee to the Company shall bind all joint payees (and in the case of conflicting instructions or directions the Company may act on any of them) and any notice in respect of any payment given by the Company to any one of the joint payees shall be deemed to be given to all of them. |
31
30.2 | Subject to the foregoing, all unclaimed amounts (including Dividends) may be invested or otherwise made use of by the Directors, in their absolute discretion, for the benefit of the Company until claimed. |
30.3 | Notwithstanding any other provision of these Articles, the Company shall not be obliged to make any payment to a Member in respect of a Dividend, repurchase, redemption or other distribution if the Directors suspect that such payment may result in the breach or violation of any applicable laws or regulations (including, without limitation, any anti-money laundering laws or regulations) or such refusal is required by the laws and regulations governing the Company and/or its service providers. |
31. | CAPITALISATION OF RESERVES AND PROFITS |
31.1 | Subject to the Companies Act and to any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any class of Shares, the Directors may resolve to capitalise all or any part of any amount standing to the credit of any of the Company's reserve accounts (including share premium account and capital redemption reserve fund) or the profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution to Members and: |
(a) | apply all or part of any amount so capitalised for the benefit of Members in the proportions to which those Members would have been entitled in a distribution of that sum by way of Dividend in paying up any amounts unpaid on Shares held by Members or in paying up in full unissued Shares to be issued to Members as fully paid; or |
(b) | apply all or part of any amount so capitalised in paying up Shares for the benefit of any person in satisfaction of any obligation of the Company to issue paid up Shares to such person. |
In such event the Directors shall take any action required to give effect to such capitalisation, and may make such provisions as they think fit in the event that Shares become distributable in fractions (including providing for fractional entitlements to accrue to the Company rather than to the Members concerned).
31.2 | The Directors may authorise any person to enter into an agreement with the Company on behalf of all of the Members interested providing for such capitalisation and matters incidental to the capitalisation and any such agreement shall be effective and binding on all the Members concerned. |
32. | BOOKS OF ACCOUNT |
32.1 | Books of account to be kept |
The Directors shall cause proper books of account to be kept with respect to all sums of money received and expended by the Company and the matters in respect of which the receipt or expenditure takes place, all sales and purchases of goods by the Company and the assets and liabilities of the Company. Proper books shall not be deemed to be kept if there are not kept such books of account as are necessary to give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the Company and to explain its transactions.
32
32.2 | Inspection by Members |
The Directors shall from time to time determine whether and to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and books of the Company or any of them will be open to the inspection of Members (not being Directors). No Member (not being a Director) shall have any right of inspecting any account or book or document of the Company except as conferred by the Companies Act or authorised by the Directors or by Ordinary Resolution.
32.3 | Accounts required by law |
The Directors may from time to time cause to be prepared and to be laid before the Company in general meeting profit and loss accounts, balance sheets, group accounts (if any) and such other reports and accounts as may be required by law.
32.4 | Retention of records |
All books of account maintained by the Company shall be retained for a period of at least five years, or such longer period required by any applicable law or regulation from time to time.
33. | AUDITOR |
33.1 | Appointment of Auditor |
The Directors may appoint an Auditor who shall hold office until removed from office by a resolution of the Directors, and may fix the Auditor’s remuneration.
33.2 | Rights of Auditor |
The Auditor shall have a right of access at all times to the books and accounts and vouchers of the Company and shall be entitled to require from the Directors and officers of the Company such information and explanation as may be necessary for the performance of the duties of the Auditor.
33.3 | Reporting requirements of Auditor |
The Auditor shall, if so required by the Directors, make a report on the accounts of the Company during the Auditor's tenure of office at the next general meeting following their appointment, and at any other time during the Auditor's term of office, upon request of the Directors or any general meeting of the Company.
34. | NOTICES |
34.1 | Form and method of giving notices |
(a) | Notices shall be in writing and may be given by: |
(i) | any Member to the Company by delivering such notice at the Registered Office. Notices may be delivered in person, by post, email or facsimile but shall only be validly served on the Company if such notice is actually received by the Registered Office on behalf of the Company; and |
33
(ii) | the Company to any Member either personally or by sending it by post, email or facsimile to his address as shown in the Register of Members, and where such a notice is: |
(A) | sent by post, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing, pre-paying and posting a letter containing the notice, and shall be deemed to have been received on the fifth day (not including Saturdays or Sundays or public holidays) following the day on which the notice was posted; |
(B) | sent by facsimile, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by transmitting the facsimile to the number provided by the intended recipient and shall be deemed to have been received on the same day that it was sent; and |
(C) | given by email, service shall be deemed to be effected by transmitting the email to the email address provided by the intended recipient and shall be deemed to have been received on the same day that it was sent, and it shall not be necessary for the receipt of the e-mail to be acknowledged by the recipient. |
(b) | Any notice, if posted from one country to another, is to be sent by airmail. |
34.2 | Persons entitled to Shares by transmission |
A notice may be given by the Company to any person the Company has been advised is entitled to any Share in consequence of the death, bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution of a Member in the same manner as other notices which are required to be given under these Articles and shall be addressed to them by name, or by the title of representatives of the deceased, or trustee of the bankrupt, or by any like description at the address supplied for that purpose by the persons claiming to be so entitled, or at the option of the Company by giving the notice in any manner in which the same might have been given if the death, bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution had not occurred.
35. | WINDING UP |
35.1 | Method of winding up |
(a) | If the Company shall be wound up, and the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be insufficient to repay the whole of the share capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them. |
34
(b) | If in a winding up the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up (subject to a deduction from those Shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to the Company). |
(c) | This Article is without prejudice to the rights of the holders of Shares issued upon special terms and conditions. |
35.2 | Distribution of assets in a winding up |
Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being attached to any class of Shares, on a winding up of the Company the liquidator may, with the sanction of a Special Resolution of the Company and any other sanction required by the Companies Act, distribute among the Members the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether they shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may for that purpose:
(a) | decide how the assets are to be distributed as between the Members or different classes of Members; |
(b) | value the assets to be distributed in such manner as the liquidator thinks fit; and |
(c) | vest the whole or any part of any assets in such trustees and on such trusts for the benefit of the Members entitled to the distribution of those assets as the liquidator sees fit, but so that no Member shall be obliged to accept any assets in respect of which there is any liability. |
36. | INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE |
36.1 | Indemnity and limitation of liability of Directors and officers |
(a) | To the maximum extent permitted by law, every current and former Director and officer of the Company (excluding an Auditor but including an alternate Director and the proxy of a Director) (each an "Indemnified Person"), shall be indemnified out of the assets of the Company against any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages or expenses, including legal expenses (each a "Liability"), which such Indemnified Person may incur in that capacity unless such Liability arose as a result of the actual fraud or wilful default of such person. |
(b) | No Indemnified Person shall be liable to the Company for any loss or damage resulting (directly or indirectly) from such Indemnified Person carrying out his or her duties unless that liability arises through the actual fraud or wilful default of such Indemnified Person. |
(c) | For the purpose of these Articles, no Indemnified Person shall be deemed to have committed "actual fraud” or “wilful default" until a court of competent jurisdiction has made a final, non-appealable finding to that effect. |
35
36.2 | Advance of legal fees |
The Company shall advance to each Indemnified Person reasonable legal fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defence of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving such Indemnified Person for which indemnity will or could be sought. In connection with any such advance of expenses, the Indemnified Person shall execute an undertaking to repay the advanced amount to the Company if it is determined that the Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification under these Articles.
36.3 | Indemnification to form part of contract |
The indemnification and exculpation provisions of these Articles are deemed to form part of the employment contract or terms of appointment entered into by each Indemnified Person with the Company and accordingly are enforceable by such persons against the Company.
36.4 | Insurance |
The Directors may purchase and maintain insurance for or for the benefit of any Indemnified Person including (without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) insurance against any Liability incurred by such persons in respect of any act or omission in the actual or purported execution or discharge of their duties or the exercise or purported exercise of their powers or otherwise in relation to or in connection with their duties, powers or offices in relation to the Company.
37. | REQUIRED DISCLOSURE |
If required to do so under the laws of any jurisdiction to which the Company (or any of its service providers) is subject, or in compliance with the rules of any stock exchange upon which any Shares are listed, or to ensure the compliance by any person with any anti-money laundering legislation in any relevant jurisdiction, any Director, officer or service provider (acting on behalf of the Company) shall be entitled to release or disclose any information in its possession regarding the affairs of the Company or a Member, including, without limitation, any information contained in the Register of Members or subscription documentation of the Company relating to any Member.
38. | FINANCIAL YEAR |
Unless the Directors resolve otherwise, the financial year of the Company shall end on 31 March in each year and, following the year of incorporation, shall begin on 1 January in each year.
39. | TRANSFER BY WAY OF CONTINUATION |

36

40.1 | Each Member shall provide the Company on a timely basis with any documents, tax certifications, financial and other information (collectively "Tax Reporting Information") as the Company may request in connection with the Company's compliance with any legal and tax information reporting and exchange obligations applicable to it under the laws of the Cayman Islands or any other applicable jurisdiction (collectively, "Tax Reporting Obligations"), including, without limitation, any Tax Reporting Obligations under any Cayman Islands laws, regulations or guidance notes that give effect to: (i) the United States' Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act; (ii) the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's Common Reporting Standard; and (iii) any additional inter-governmental agreement or treaty entered into by, or otherwise binding upon the Cayman Islands that provides for the exchange of tax information with another jurisdiction. |
40.2 | The Company shall have the power to release, report or otherwise disclose to the Department for International Tax Cooperation in the Cayman Islands (or any other authority as may be required under the Tax Reporting Obligations) any Tax Reporting Information provided by a Member to the Company and any other information held by the Company in respect of the Member's investment in the Company, in connection with the Tax Reporting Obligations, including, without limitation, in relation to the identity, address, tax identification number, tax status and interest in the Company of the Member (and any of its direct or indirect owners or affiliates). |
40.3 | If a Member fails to provide the Company with any requested Tax Reporting Information on a timely basis and such failure results, or may result, in the Company's inability to comply with its Tax Reporting Obligations or if the Company is otherwise unable to comply with its Tax Reporting Obligations as a result of the direct or indirect action (or inaction) of a Member, the Company may: |
(a) | compulsorily repurchase some or all of such Member's Shares without notice at a price per Share equal to the fair value of such Shares (as determined by the Directors) and may deduct or withhold from such redemption proceeds any penalty, debt, withholding or back up tax, costs, expenses, obligations, liabilities or other adverse consequences (collectively, "Tax Reporting Liabilities") imposed on the Company, its Members and/or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, managers, shareholders and/or partners as a result of such failure, action or inaction by such Member; and/or |
(b) | re-designate, immediately and without consent, such Member's Shares as belonging to a separate class and create a separate internal account in respect of such Shares so that any Tax Reporting Liabilities may be allocated solely to that class and debited from such class. |
