Ltd., a Singapore private company limited by shares (the “Target Company”), each shareholder of the Target Company as set forth on Schedule 1 of the Business Combination Agreement (the “Target Company Shareholders”), and Akshay Garg in his capacity as “Shareholders Representative”, pursuant to which, among other things: (i) on the business day prior to the consummation of the acquisition by Holdco of the Target Company contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement (such consummation, the “Closing”), Merger Sub will merge with and into VIH, with Merger Sub continuing as the “Surviving VIH Company” (the “VIH Merger”, with the effective time of such merger, the “VIH Merger Effective Time”), as a result of which, (a) the Surviving VIH Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco and (b) immediately after the VIH Share Recapitalization, each Class A ordinary share of VIH, par value $0.0001 per share (the “VIH Class A Ordinary Shares”) issued and outstanding and Class B ordinary shares of VIH, par value $0.0001 per share (“VIH Class B Ordinary Shares”, and together with the VIH Class A Ordinary Shares, the “VIH Ordinary Shares”) immediately prior to the VIH Merger Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding as of the VIH Merger Effective Time and shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for one Class A ordinary share of Holdco (“Holdco Class A Ordinary Share”) (in the form of one American Depository Share representing a Holdco Class A Ordinary Share, each a “Holdco Class A ADS”) and each outstanding warrant to purchase VIH Ordinary Shares will become exercisable for Holdco Class A Ordinary Shares (in the form of Holdco Class A ADSs) on identical terms, and (ii) at the Closing, among other things, (x) Holdco will acquire all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of the Target Company (the “Target Company Ordinary Shares”) and the issued and outstanding preference Shares of the Target Company (the “Target Company Preference Shares”) from the Target Company Shareholders in exchange for the Holdco Class A Ordinary Shares (in the form of Holdco Class A ADSs) or Class V Ordinary Shares of Holdco (“Holdco Class V Ordinary Share”, and together with the Holdco Class A Ordinary Shares, the “Holdco Ordinary Shares”) (in the form of American Depository Share representing a Holdco Class V Ordinary Share, each a “Holdco Class V ADS”, and together with the Holdco Class A ADSs, the “Holdco ADSs”), as the case may be, (b) each option to acquire Target Company Ordinary Shares granted under the FinAccel Employee Share Options Scheme (the “Target Company Options”) and each Assumed Warrant (as defined below) will be converted into the right to receive an option or a warrant to purchase Holdco Class A Ordinary Shares (in the form of Holdco Class A ADSs), respectively, and (c) each Target Company Convertible Note (as defined below) that is then outstanding and not converted into Target Company Ordinary Shares, shall be cancelled and extinguished and in exchange therefor, converted into the right to receive Holdco Class A Ordinary Shares (in the form of Holdco Class A ADSs), in each case, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Transactions”), including the VIH Merger, will constitute a “Business Combination” as contemplated by VIH’s existing amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Current VIH Articles”).

The Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions were unanimously approved by the board of directors of VIH (the “Board”) on July 29, 2021.

The Business Combination

VIH Merger

At the VIH Merger Effective Time, Merger Sub and VIH shall consummate the VIH Merger, pursuant to which VIH shall be merged with and into Merger Sub, following which the separate corporate existence of VIH shall cease and Merger Sub shall continue as the surviving company (the “Surviving VIH Company”).

At the VIH Merger Effective Time, every issued and outstanding unit of VIH (consisting of one VIH Class A Ordinary Share and one-fourth of a VIH Public Warrant, as defined below, the “VIH Units”), to the extent not detached, shall be automatically detached and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold one VIH Class A Ordinary Share and one-fourth of a warrant of VIH.

At the VIH Merger Effective Time, every issued VIH Class B Ordinary Share will convert into one VIH Class A Ordinary Share on a one-for-one basis (the “VIH Share Recapitalization”) and, immediately thereafter every issued VIH Class A Ordinary Share (other than those owned by VIH as treasury shares, which shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or payment therefor) shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for one Holdco Class A Ordinary Share (in the form of one Holdco Class A ADS).

At the VIH Merger Effective Time, in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement dated March 4, 2021 by and between VIH and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agreement”), each issued and outstanding whole warrant of VIH (consisting of either one public warrant entitling the holder to purchase one VIH Class A Ordinary Share per warrant at a price of $11.50 per VIH Class A Ordinary Share (a “VIH Public Warrant”), or a private placement warrant entitling the holder to purchase one VIH Class A Ordinary Share per warrant at a price of $11.50 per VIH Class A Ordinary Share (a “VIH Private Warrant”), collectively the “VIH Warrants”) will become exercisable for the right to receive one Holdco Class A Ordinary Share (in the form of Holdco Class A ADS(s)) at the same exercise price per share and on the same terms in effect immediately prior to the VIH Merger Effective Time, and the rights and obligations of VIH under the Warrant Agreement will be assigned and assumed by Holdco.

At the VIH Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the VIH Merger and without any action on the part of any party hereto or the holders of any shares of VIH, Holdco or Merger Sub, all of the ordinary shares of Merger Sub in issue immediately prior to the VIH Merger Effective Time, each of US$0.00001 par value in the share capital of Merger Sub, shall be converted into an equal number of ordinary shares of the Surviving VIH Company, each of US$0.00001 par value in the share capital of the Surviving VIH Company, with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only issued share capital of the Surviving VIH Company.

Target Company Shareholder Consideration

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Target Company Shareholders, will receive aggregate merger consideration with an implied value of $2,000,000,000 (the “Equity Value”), consisting of a number of shares of Holdco Class A Ordinary Shares or Holdco Class V Ordinary Shares (in the form of Holdco Class A ADSs or Holdco Class V ADSs, respectively), equal to the Equity Value divided by $10.00 (the “Aggregate Share Consideration”).

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, at the VIH Merger Effective Time, (a) Target Company Ordinary Shares held by the Target Company Shareholders will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive, in the case of the Shareholders other than Akshay Garg and Umang Rustagi, a number of newly issued Holdco Class A Ordinary Shares (in the form of Holdco Class A ADSs) or, in the case of Akshay Garg and Umang Rustagi (the “Founders”), Holdco Class V Ordinary Shares (in the form of Holdco Class V ADSs), each with a par value of $0.00001, equal to an exchange ratio (the “Exchange Ratio”) determined by dividing the Aggregate Share Consideration by the sum of (without duplication): (a) the total number of outstanding Target Company Ordinary Shares, (b) the total number of Target Company Ordinary Shares convertible from all of the outstanding Target Company Preference Shares, (c) the total number of Target Company Ordinary Shares subject to issuance pursuant to a Target Company Option, or portion thereof, to the extent such Target Company Option (or applicable portion

 

2


thereof) is vested and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing or would vest upon or immediately following the Closing (the “Vested Target Company Options”), (d) the maximum number of Target Company Ordinary Shares subject to issuance pursuant to the (i) the Warrant by and between the Target Company and Partners for Growth V, L.P., dated August 12, 2019 and (ii) the Warrant by and between the Target Company and Partners for Growth V, L.P., dated May 12, 2021 (collectively, the “PFG Warrants”), (e) the maximum number of Target Company Ordinary Shares subject to issuance pursuant to the Warrant to Purchase Ordinary Shares of FinAccel Pte. Ltd. by and between the Target Company and Victory Park Capital Advisors, LLC, dated July 10, 2020 (the “VPC Warrant”), and (f) the maximum number of Target Company Ordinary Shares or Target Company Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of Target Company Preference Shares, in each case subject to issuance pursuant to outstanding Target Company Convertible Notes, in each case of the foregoing items (a) through (f), as of immediately prior to the Closing.

As of the Closing, each Target Company Option that is then outstanding shall be converted into the right to receive an option relating to Holdco Class A Ordinary Shares (in the form of Holdco Class A ADSs) on the same terms and conditions as are in effect with respect to such Target Company Option immediately prior to the Closing (including with respect to vesting, release, and forfeiture or termination provisions) (each, a “Holdco Option”) except that (i) such Holdco Option shall relate to such number of Holdco Class A Ordinary Shares (in the form of Holdco Class A ADSs, rounded down to the nearest whole Holdco Class A Ordinary Share) as is equal to the product of (A) the number of Target Company Ordinary Shares subject to such Target Company Option multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, and (ii) the exercise price per share for each such Holdco Option shall be equal to the quotient of (A) the exercise price per share of such Target Company Option in effect immediately prior to the Closing divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio (the exercise price per share, as so determined, being rounded up to the nearest full cent).

Each of the PFG Warrants and VPC Warrant (collectively, the “Target Company Warrants”), to the extent that it remains outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the VIH Merger Effective Time (each, an “Assumed Warrant”), shall be converted into a warrant to purchase Holdco Class A Ordinary Shares (in the form of Holdco Class A ADSs) on the same terms and conditions as are in effect immediately prior to the VIH Merger Effective Time (the “Successor Warrant”), except that (a) each Assumed Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase such number of Holdco Class A Ordinary Shares (in the form of Holdco Class A ADSs) as is equal to the product of (i) the number of Target Company Ordinary Shares subject to such Assumed Warrant immediately prior to the VIH Merger Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio and (b) each Assumed Warrant shall have an exercise price per share (which shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient of (i) the exercise price per share of such Assumed Warrant immediately prior to the VIH Merger Effective Time divided by (ii) the Exchange Ratio.

As of the Closing, each note issued by the Target Company that is convertible into Target Company Ordinary Shares or Target Company Preference Shares (the “Target Company Convertible Notes”) that is then outstanding and not converted into Target Company Ordinary Shares, shall be cancelled and extinguished and in exchange therefor, converted into the right to receive with respect to such Target Company Convertible Note, Holdco Class A Ordinary Shares (in the form of Holdco Class A ADSs, rounded down to the nearest whole Holdco Class A Ordinary Shares) equal to the product of (i) the number of Target Company Ordinary Shares that such Target Company Convertible Notes were convertible into immediately prior to the Closing based on the principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest outstanding on such Target Company Convertible Note multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio.

High Vote Shares

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, immediately prior to the Closing, the Current Holdco Articles will be further amended and restated (the “A&R Holdco Articles”) to, among other things, (a) establish a dual-class Holdco Ordinary Shares structure consisting of Holdco Class A Ordinary Shares and Holdco Class V Ordinary Shares, and (b) provide that each Holdco Class A Ordinary Share will be entitled to one (1) vote per share and each Holdco Class V Ordinary Share will be entitled to ten (10) votes per share (the “High Vote”). In connection with the Transactions, the VIH Ordinary Shares received as consideration by the Founders will be Holdco Class V Ordinary Shares, and will entitle the Founders to the High Vote until such time as such Holdco Class V Ordinary Shares are exchanged pursuant to the terms of the A&R Holdco Articles for an equal number of Holdco Class A

Ordinary Shares (i) at the option of the holder, (ii) upon a transfer to an unaffiliated third party, (iii) upon the conversion of any Class V Ordinary Share by Holdco in any manner available under applicable law, including redeeming or repurchasing the relevant Class V Shares and applying the proceeds thereof towards payment for the new Holdco Class A Ordinary Shares, (iv) upon a Founder’s death or incapacity or (v) the date that the number of shares of Holdco, including any shares of Holdco underlying any securities (including restricted stock units, options, or other convertible instruments) convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable into shares of Holdco, held by a Founder and certain permitted transferees is less than 50% of the number of shares of Class V Ordinary Shares held by such Founder and such permitted transferees at the Closing (whichever is earlier with respect to such Holdco Class V Ordinary Shares). The Holdco Class V Ordinary Shares will provide the Founders with approximately 70.5% of the voting power of the Holdco Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately following the Closing, assuming no redemptions by VIH’s Shareholders.

The forward-looking statements and financial forecasts and projections contained in this document are subject to a number of factors, risks and uncertainties. Potential risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; the timing and structure of the business combination; changes to the proposed structure of the business combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the business combination, the PIPE investment and other transactions in connection therewith, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or the risk that any regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the business combination or that the approval of the shareholders of VIH or FinAccel is not obtained; the risk that the business combination disrupts current plans and operations of VIH or FinAccel as a result of the announcement and consummation of the business combination; the ability of FinAccel to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees including its chief executive officer and executive team; the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of the post-acquisition company’s securities on Nasdaq following the business combination; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of business combination; risk relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to FinAccel; the amount of redemption requests made by VIH’s shareholders and the amount of funds available in the VIH trust account; the overall level of demand for FinAccel’s services; general economic conditions and other factors affecting FinAccel’s business; FinAccel’s ability to implement its business strategy; FinAccel’s ability to manage expenses; changes in applicable laws and governmental regulation and the impact of such changes on FinAccel’s business, FinAccel’s exposure to litigation claims and other loss contingencies; the risks associated with negative press or reputational harm; disruptions and other impacts to FinAccel’s business, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and government actions and restrictive measures implemented in response; FinAccel’s ability to protect patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights; any breaches of, or interruptions in, FinAccel’s technology infrastructure; changes in tax laws and liabilities; and changes in legal, regulatory, political and economic risks and the impact of such changes on FinAccel’s business. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of Kredivo’s registration statement on Form F-4, the proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus discussed below, VIH’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other documents filed by Kredivo or VIH from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, there may be additional risks that neither VIH nor FinAccel presently know, or that VIH or FinAccel currently believe are immaterial, that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect VIH’s and FinAccel’s expectations, plans, projections or forecasts of future events and view. If any of the risks materialize or VIH’s or FinAccel’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. VIH and FinAccel anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause their assessments to change. However, while Kredivo, VIH and FinAccel may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Kredivo, VIH and FinAccel specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, except as required by law. The inclusion of any statement in this document does not constitute an admission by FinAccel nor VIH or any other person that the events or circumstances described in such statement are material. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing VIH’s or FinAccel’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this document. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements. In addition, the analyses of FinAccel and VIH contained herein are not, and do not purport to be, appraisals of the securities, assets or business of the FinAccel, VIH or any other entity.

47


Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations thereunder and (y) did not, as of their respective effective dates (in the case of SEC Reports that are registration statements filed pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act) and at the time they were filed with the SEC (in the case of all other SEC Reports) contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and the Public Certifications are each true as of their respective dates of filing, in each case except that VIH may have improperly accounted for its outstanding warrants as equity instruments and may be required to restate its previously filed financial statements to reflect the classification of its outstanding warrants as liabilities for accounting purposes (together with any deficiencies in disclosure (including, without limitation, with respect to internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures) arising from the treatment of such warrants of VIH as equity rather than liabilities, the “Warrant Accounting Issue”). As of the date hereof, there are no outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters received from the SEC with respect to the SEC Reports. As used in this Section 8.06, the term “file” shall be broadly construed to include any manner permitted by SEC rules and regulations in which a document or information is furnished, supplied or otherwise made available to the SEC. As of the date of this Agreement, (A) the VIH Units, the VIH Class A Ordinary Shares and the VIH Public Warrants are listed on Nasdaq, (B) VIH has not received any written deficiency notice from Nasdaq relating to the continued listing requirements of such VIH Securities, (C) there are no Actions pending or, to the Knowledge of VIH, threatened against VIH by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Nasdaq or the SEC with respect to any intention by such entity to suspend, prohibit or terminate the quoting of such VIH Securities on Nasdaq and (D) such VIH Securities are in compliance with all of the applicable listing and corporate governance rules of Nasdaq, other than, in each case, as may relate to, arise out of or be in connection with the Warrant Accounting Issue.

(b) Except for the Warrant Accounting Issue, the financial statements and notes of VIH contained or incorporated by reference in the SEC Reports (the “VIH Financials”), fairly present in all material respects the financial position and the results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows of VIH at the respective dates of and for the periods referred to in such financial statements, all in accordance with (i) U.S. GAAP methodologies applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved and (ii) Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, as applicable (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto and for the omission of notes and audit adjustments in the case of unaudited quarterly financial statements to the extent permitted by Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, as applicable).

(c) VIH has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material information relating to VIH is made known to VIH’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer, particularly during the periods in which the periodic reports required under the Exchange Act are being prepared. To the Knowledge of VIH, such disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting VIH’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer to material information required to be included in VIH’s periodic reports required under the Exchange Act. Since its initial public offering, VIH has established and maintained a system of internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act) sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed with management’s authorization, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the VIH Financials and to maintain accountability for VIH’s assets and liabilities, (iii) the reliability of VIH’s financial reporting and the preparation of VIH Financials for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and (iv) material violations of applicable law by any of VIH’s directors, officers, employees or its or their respective agents, representatives or other Persons, acting on behalf of VIH will be prevented, detected and deterred, other than, in each case, as may relate to, arise out of or be in connection with the Warrant Accounting Issue.

Agreement or the Ancillary Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the other Ancillary Documents nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will: (x) result in any payment (including severance, unemployment compensation, golden parachute, bonus or otherwise) from VIH becoming due to any director, officer, manager or employee of VIH; or (y) result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such benefits from VIH.

Section 8.20 PIPE Financing. On or prior to the date of this Agreement, VIH has entered into Subscription Agreements with certain accredited investors (the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which, and on the terms and subject to the conditions of which, such accredited investors have agreed, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, to subscribe for Holdco Class A ADSs for an aggregate purchase price up to $300 million (such amount, the “PIPE Investment Amount”).

VIH has performed all material obligations required to be performed by it to date under, and is not in material default or delinquent in performance or any other respect (claimed or actual) in connection with, the Trust Agreement, and, to the Knowledge of VIH, no event has occurred which, with due notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a material default thereunder. There are no separate contracts, side letters or other arrangements or understandings (whether written or unwritten, express or implied) that would cause the description of the Trust Agreement in the SEC Reports to be inaccurate or that would entitle any Person (other than (i) the VIH Shareholders, (ii) the underwriters of the IPO and (iii) VIH, with respect to income earned on the proceeds of the Trust Account to cover any tax obligations) to any portion of the proceeds in the Trust Account. There are no claims or proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of VIH, threatened in writing with respect to the Trust Account. Since its incorporation, VIH has not released any money from the Trust Account (other than interest income earned on the principal held in the Trust Account as permitted by the Trust Agreement).

Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but in case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable by a court or other legal authority of competent jurisdiction in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified or deleted, as to such jurisdiction, only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby nor shall the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision be affected thereby in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

(a) The Target Company and each Shareholder acknowledge that VIH has established its Trust Account containing the proceeds of VIH’s IPO and the overallotment shares acquired by its underwriters and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of VIH’s public shareholders (including overallotment shares acquired by VIH’s underwriters) (the “Public Shareholders”), and that, except as otherwise described in the IPO Prospectus or as set forth in the Trust Agreement, VIH may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (i) to the Public Shareholders in the event they elect to redeem their shares in connection with the Business Combination or in connection with an extension of the deadline to consummate a Business Combination, (ii) to the Public Shareholders if VIH fails to consummate a Business Combination within twenty-four (24) months after the closing of the IPO, (iii) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, amounts necessary to pay for any franchise or income taxes and up to one hundred thousand Dollars ($100,000) in liquidation expenses or (iv) to VIH after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination.

Section 13.14 Non-Recourse. Without limiting the rights of any party under Section 13.15, this Agreement may be enforced only against, and any dispute, claim or controversy based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether in contract or tort, at law or in equity or otherwise, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose Liability of an entity party against its owners or Affiliates) may be brought only against, the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth in this Agreement with respect to such party.

Section 13.15 Specific Performance. Each party hereto (a) acknowledges that the rights of each party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any party, money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching parties may have not adequate remedy at law, (b) recognizes that the right to seek specific performance and other equitable relief is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, none of the parties hereto would have entered into this Agreement and (c) agrees that irreparable damage may occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by an applicable party in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each party hereto shall be entitled to seek an injunction or restraining order in the courts described in Section 13.06 to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity. Each party hereto agrees that it shall not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at Law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. In the event that any Action shall be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no party shall allege, and each party hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law, and each party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection therewith.

Section 13.16 Nonsurvival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or other agreements in this Agreement, in any Ancillary Document or in any certificate, statement or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, including any rights arising out of any breach of such representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, agreements and other provisions, shall not survive the Closing Date and shall terminate and expire upon the occurrence of the Closing (and there shall be no liability after the Closing Date in respect thereof), except for (a) those covenants and agreements contained herein that by their terms expressly apply in whole or in part on or after the Closing Date (which shall survive the Closing Date until fully performed) and then only with respect to any breaches occurring after the Closing Date and (b) this ARTICLE XIII.

Section 13.17 Waiver of Conflict; Privilege. (a) The parties agree, on their own behalf and on behalf their respective directors, officers, managers, employees and Affiliates, that, following the Closing, White & Case LLP may serve as counsel to VIH Sponsor and its Affiliates in connection with any matters related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby notwithstanding any representation by White & Case LLP prior to the Closing Date of VIH. The parties hereby (i) waive any claim they have or may have that White & Case LLP has a conflict of interest or is otherwise prohibited from engaging in such representation and (ii) agree that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Holdco, Surviving VIH Company or any Group Company, on the one hand, and VIH Sponsor or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, White & Case LLP may represent VIH Sponsor or any of its Affiliates in such dispute even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to Holdco, Surviving VIH Company or any Group Company and even though White & Case LLP may have represented VIH in a matter substantially related to such dispute. The parties hereto also further agree that, as to all communications prior to the Closing between White & Case LLP and VIH, VIH Sponsor or VIH Sponsor’s Affiliates or their respective Representatives that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belong to VIH Sponsor and may be controlled by VIH Sponsor and shall not pass to or be claimed by Holdco, Surviving VIH Company or any Group Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Holdco, Surviving VIH Company or any Group Company, on the one hand, and a third party other than VIH Sponsor or VIH Sponsor’s Affiliates after the Closing, Holdco, Surviving VIH Company or any Group Company may assert the attorney-client privilege with respect to communications between White & Case LLP and VIH, Holdco or Merger Sub that constitutes attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by White & Case LLP to such third party; provided, however, that Holdco, Surviving VIH Company and any Group Company may not waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the VIH Sponsor.

(b) The parties further agree, on their own behalf and on behalf their respective directors, officers, managers, employees and Affiliates, that, Cooley LLP served as counsel to the Target Company, Holdco and Merger Sub in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Ancillary Documents to be executed and delivered by the Target Company on or prior to the Closing, and Cooley LLP has not undertaken to represent any other party, including the Shareholders or the Shareholders’ Representative, in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Ancillary Documents to be executed and delivered by the Target Company, Holdco or Merger Sub on or prior to the Closing. Each other party to this Agreement agrees they are (i) not relying on Cooley LLP in determining whether to enter into this Agreement and the other Ancillary Documents contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) has been advised to seek independent counsel, to the extent such party hereto deems appropriate, to protect such party’s interests in connection herewith and therewith. The parties further acknowledge and agree that, as to all legally privileged communications prior to the Closing (made in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance under, or any dispute or Action arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, any Ancillary Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby) between or among the Target Company, Holdco, Merger Sub and any of the Shareholders, on the one hand, and Cooley LLP, on the other hand, the attorney/client privilege and the expectation of client confidence shall survive the transactions contemplated hereby and belongs to the Target Company, and shall not pass to or be claimed or controlled by any of the Shareholders.

(i) take any and all actions (including, without limitation, executing and delivering any documents or amendments, incurring any costs and expenses on behalf of the Shareholders) and make any and all determinations which may be required or permitted in connection with the implementation of this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby;

(ii) give and receive notices and communications under this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby;

(iii) negotiate, defend, settle, compromise and otherwise handle and resolve any and all claims and disputes with VIH, Holdco, Merger Sub, Target Company or their respective Affiliates arising out of or in respect of this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby;

(iv) retain legal counsel, accountants, consultants and other experts, and incur any other reasonable expenses, in connection with all matters and things set forth or necessary with respect to this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; and

(v) to make any other decision or election or exercise such rights, power and authority as are incidental to the foregoing or that is, in the opinion of the Shareholders Representative, necessary or advisable to effectuate the foregoing.

(b) Akshay Garg hereby accepts appointment and authorization to act as the Shareholders Representative as the attorney-in-fact and exclusive agent on behalf of the Shareholders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. From and after the VIH Merger Effective Time, Holdco, the Surviving VIH Company and its Affiliates are entitled to deal exclusively with Akshay Garg in his capacity as Shareholders Representative on all matters relating to this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby to the extent the Shareholders Representative has authority to act on such matter pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Each of the Shareholders acknowledges and agrees that upon execution of this Agreement, upon any delivery by the Shareholders Representative of any waiver, amendment, agreement, opinion, certificate or other document executed by the Shareholders Representative, such Shareholder shall be bound by such documents as fully as if such Shareholder had executed and delivered such documents; provided that, any amendment to this Agreement materially and adversely affecting the rights of Shareholders (including amendments materially and adversely affecting (i) the percentage of Aggregate Share Consideration allocable to each Shareholder in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder or (ii) the economic or voting rights of Shareholders in Holdco following Closing, but other than any dilution resulting from the issuance, exercise, conversion or exchange of any Equity Interests of FinAccel) will require approval of the Shareholders holding a majority of the voting power of the outstanding Equity Interests of the Target Company.

 

88


(d) Upon the death, disability or incapacity of the initial Shareholders Representative appointed pursuant to Section 13.18(a), each of the Shareholders acknowledges and agrees then such Person as is appointed by the Shareholders who held a majority of the voting power of the outstanding Equity Interests of the Target Company, voting as a single class, immediately prior to the Closing shall be the Shareholders Representative. The Shareholders Representative may resign at any time; provided that it must provide the Shareholders who held a majority of the voting power of the Equity Interests of the Target Company immediately prior to Closing thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such decision to resign. The Shareholders Representative shall not receive compensation for service in such capacity. The designation of any Person as the Shareholders Representative is and shall be coupled with an interest, and, except as set forth in this Section 13.18, such designation is irrevocable and shall not be affected by the death, incapacity, illness, bankruptcy, dissolution or other inability to act of any of the Shareholders.

(e) Any and all actions taken or not taken, exercises of rights, power or authority and any decision or determination made by the Shareholders Representative in connection herewith shall be absolutely and irrevocably binding upon the Shareholders as if such Person had taken or not taken such action, exercised such rights, power or authority or made such decision or determination in its own capacity, and VIH, Holdco and Merger Sub may rely upon such action, exercise of right, power, or authority or such decision or determination of the Shareholders Representative as the action, inaction, exercise, right, power, or authority, or decision or determination of such Person, and no Shareholder shall have the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. Each of VIH, Holdco and Merger Sub is hereby relieved from any liability to any Person for any acts done by the Shareholders Representative and any acts done by VIH, Holdco and Merger Sub in accordance with any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Shareholders Representative.

(f) On the date hereof, each Shareholder has provided to the Shareholders Representative a duly executed copy of each signature page required for such Shareholder in connection with the Ancillary Documents. Each such signature page shall be released by the Shareholders Representative at the Closing without further authorization or action necessary on behalf of each Shareholder.

All references herein to any of the Schedules (including any section thereof) shall be deemed references to such parts of this Agreement, unless the context shall otherwise require.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1    Subscription. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing (as defined below), Subscriber hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase, and the Issuer hereby agrees to cause to be issued and sold to Subscriber, upon the payment of the Purchase Price, the Subscribed Shares (such subscription and issuance, the “Subscription”).


Section 2    Closing.

(a)    The consummation of the Subscription contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall occur on the closing date of the Transaction (the “Closing Date”), immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction.

(b)    At least five (5) Business Days before the anticipated Closing Date, the Issuer shall deliver written notice to Subscriber (the “Closing Notice”) specifying (i) the anticipated Closing Date and (ii) the wire instructions for delivery of the Purchase Price to the Issuer. No later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Subscriber shall deliver the Purchase Price for the Subscribed Shares by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Issuer in the Closing Notice, such funds to be held in a segregated non-interest bearing account (which segregated account shall be with a regulated banking entity with a minimum credit rating of at least A- or A3 with one of S&P Global Ratings (S&P), Fitch Ratings or Moody’s (as applicable), such bank, the “Deposit Bank”) by the Issuer in escrow until the Closing, and deliver to the Issuer such information as is reasonably requested in the Closing Notice in order for the Issuer to issue the Subscribed Shares to Subscriber, including, without limitation, the legal name of the person in whose name the Subscribed Shares are to be issued and a duly completed and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or appropriate Form W-8. At the Closing, upon satisfaction (or, if applicable, waiver) of the conditions set forth in this Section 2, the Issuer shall (i) issue or cause to be issued to Subscriber the Subscribed Shares in book entry form, free and clear of any liens or other restrictions (other than those arising under this Subscription Agreement or state or federal securities laws), in the name of Subscriber (or its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions), and (ii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Subscriber written notice from the Issuer or its transfer agent evidencing the issuance to Subscriber of the Subscribed Shares on and as of the Closing Date. In the event that the consummation of the Transaction does not occur within two (2) Business Days after the anticipated Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, the Issuer shall promptly (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after the anticipated Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice) initiate return of the Purchase Price so delivered by Subscriber to the Issuer by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified by Subscriber, and any book entries shall be deemed cancelled. Notwithstanding such return or cancellation, (x) a failure to close on the anticipated Closing Date shall not, by itself, be deemed to be a failure of any of the conditions to Closing set forth in this Section 2 to be satisfied or waived on or prior to the Closing Date, and (y) unless and until this Subscription Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 7, Subscriber shall remain obligated (A) to redeliver the Purchase Price to the Issuer in escrow following the Issuer’s delivery to Subscriber of a new Closing Notice and (B) to consummate the Closing upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2. For the purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in New York, Singapore or Cayman Islands required by law to close.

(c)    The Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction or valid waiver by the Issuer and VIH, on the one hand, or Subscriber, on the other hand, of the conditions that, on the Closing Date:

(ii)    no applicable governmental authority (including, but not limited to, financial services or banking authorities) shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any judgment, order, law, rule or regulation (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect and has the effect of making the consummation of the Subscription illegal or otherwise restraining or prohibiting consummation of the Subscription.

(ii)    Subscriber shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by it at or prior to the Closing, except where the failure of such performance or compliance would not or would not reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay, or materially impair the ability of the Subscriber to consummate the Closing; and

(iii)    if required by applicable governmental authorities (including, but not limited to, financial services or banking authorities), rules, regulations, orders, policies or procedures, Subscriber shall have been found suitable by such authorities and there shall be no pending or threatened investigations, reviews or adjudications of Subscriber or its affiliates or their respective employees, directors, officers or owners by any governmental authorities under applicable financial services or banking laws the results of which could reasonably be expected to result in the denial, revocation, limitation or suspension of an applicable license or permit with respect to VIH or Issuer or their respective affiliates.

(e)    In addition to the conditions set forth in Section 2(c), the obligation of Subscriber to consummate the Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction or valid waiver by Subscriber of the additional conditions that, on the Closing Date:

(i)    all representations and warranties of the Issuer and VIH contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct, at and as of the Closing Date (except to the extent that any such representation and warranty expressly speaks as of an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct as of such earlier date), except, in each case, where the failure of such representations and warranties of the Issuer or VIH to be so true and correct has not had an Issuer Material Adverse Effect or a VIH Material Adverse Effect;

(ii)    each of the Issuer and VIH shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Issuer and VIH, as applicable, at or prior to the Closing, except where the failure of such performance or compliance would not reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay, or materially impair the ability of the Issuer or VIH to consummate the Closing;

(iii)    except to the extent consented to in writing by Subscriber, the Transaction Agreement (as filed with the Commission (as defined herein) on or immediately following the date hereof), including without limitation Article XI (Conditions to Closing) of the Transaction Agreement thereof, shall not have been amended, modified, supplemented or waived

(b)    This Subscription Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by VIH, and assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the same by Subscriber and Issuer, this Subscription Agreement shall constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of VIH, enforceable against VIH in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors generally and (ii) the availability of equitable remedies.

(c)    Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Subscriber, the execution and delivery of this Subscription Agreement, the issuance and sale of the Subscribed Shares and the compliance by VIH with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of VIH pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which VIH is a party or by which VIH is bound or to which any of the property or assets of VIH is subject; (ii) the organizational documents of VIH; or (iii) any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over VIH or any of its properties that, in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), would reasonably be expected to have a VIH Material Adverse Effect.

(e)    Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Subscribed Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Subscribed Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and that the Issuer is not required to register the Subscribed Shares except as set forth in Section 6 of this Subscription Agreement. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Subscribed Shares may not be offered, resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by Subscriber absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, except (i) to the Issuer or a subsidiary thereof, (ii) pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, (including without limitation a private resale pursuant to so called “Section 4(a)1 12”), or (iii) an ordinary course pledge such as a broker lien over account property generally, and, in each of clauses (i)-(iii), in accordance with any applicable securities laws of the states and other jurisdictions of the United States, and that any certificates or account entries representing the Subscribed Shares shall contain a restrictive legend to such effect. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Subscribed Shares will be subject to these securities laws transfer restrictions, and as a result of these transfer restrictions, Subscriber may not be able to readily offer, resell, transfer, pledge, charge or otherwise dispose of the Subscribed Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Subscribed Shares for an indefinite period of time. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Subscribed Shares will not immediately be eligible for offer, resale, transfer, pledge or disposition pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (as amended, “Rule 144”), until the end of any applicable holding period after the Closing Date. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge, charge or transfer of any of the Subscribed Shares.

(f)    Subscriber understands and agrees that Subscriber is purchasing the Subscribed Shares directly from the Issuer. Subscriber further acknowledges that there have not been, and Subscriber hereby agrees that it is not relying on, any statements, representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made to Subscriber by or on behalf of the Issuer, VIH, any other party to the Transaction, or any of their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of the foregoing or any other person or entity, expressly or by implication, other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Issuer and VIH expressly set forth in this Subscription Agreement.

(g)    In making its decision to purchase the Subscribed Shares, Subscriber has relied solely upon independent investigation made by Subscriber and each of the Issuer’s and VIH’s representations in Section 3 and Section 4 of this Subscription Agreement. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber has received such information as Subscriber deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Subscribed Shares,

 

11


including with respect to the Issuer, VIH and the Transaction (including FinAccel and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Acquired Companies”)) and made its own assessment and is satisfied concerning the relevant financial, tax and other economic considerations relevant to Subscriber’s investment in the Subscribed Shares. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subscriber acknowledges that VIH’s filings with the Commission are publicly available for review. Subscriber represents and agrees that Subscriber and Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as Subscriber and Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Subscribed Shares. Subscriber acknowledges that certain information provided by the Issuer or VIH was based on projections, and such projections were prepared based on assumptions and estimates that are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections. Subscriber further acknowledges that the information provided to Subscriber was preliminary and subject to change, including in the registration statement and the proxy statement that the Issuer intends to file with the Commission (which will include substantial additional information about the Issuer, VIH and the Transaction and will update and supersede the information previously provided to Subscriber). Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that none of the Placement Agents, nor any affiliate of any Placement Agent has provided Subscriber with any information or advice with respect to the Subscribed Shares nor is such information or advice necessary or desired. Neither any Placement Agent nor any of their respective affiliates has made or makes any representation as to the Issuer, VIH or the Acquired Companies or the quality or value of the Subscribed Shares and the Placement Agents and any of their respective affiliates may have acquired non-public information with respect to Issuer, VIH or the Acquired Companies which Subscriber agrees need not be provided to it. In connection with the issuance of the Subscribed Shares to Subscriber, neither any Placement Agent nor any of their respective affiliates has acted as a financial advisor or fiduciary to Subscriber.

(h)    Subscriber became aware of this offering of the Subscribed Shares solely by means of direct contact between Subscriber and the Issuer, VIH, FinAccel or their respective affiliates, or by means of contact from a Placement Agent, and the Subscribed Shares were offered to Subscriber solely by direct contact between Subscriber and the Issuer, VIH, FinAccel or their respective affiliates. Subscriber did not become aware of this offering of the Subscribed Shares, nor were the Subscribed Shares offered to Subscriber, by any other means. Subscriber acknowledges that the Issuer represents and warrants that the Subscribed Shares (i) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D of the Securities Act) and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws. Subscriber acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation (including, without limitation, the Issuer, VIH, FinAccel, the Placement Agents, any of their respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), other than the representations and warranties of the Issuer and VIH contained in Section 3 and Section 4 of this Subscription Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Issuer.

(i)    Subscriber acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Subscribed Shares. Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Subscribed Shares, and Subscriber has had an opportunity to seek, and has sought, such accounting, legal, business and tax advice as Subscriber has considered

 

12


necessary to make an informed investment decision. Subscriber acknowledges that Subscriber shall be responsible for any of the Subscriber’s tax liabilities that may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, and that neither the Issuer, VIH, FinAccel, any Non-Party Affiliate (as defined below) of the Issuer, VIH or FinAccel, nor any of their respective agents, have provided any tax advice or any other representation or guarantee, whether written or oral, regarding the tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement. Subscriber understands and acknowledges that (A) it (i) is an institutional account as defined in FINRA Rule 4512(c), (ii) is a sophisticated investor, experienced in investing in equity transactions and capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities and (iii) has exercised independent judgment in evaluating its participation in the purchase of the Subscribed Shares and (B) the purchase and sale of the Subscribed Shares hereunder meets the institutional customer exemption under FINRA Rule 2111(b).

(j)    Subscriber, alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Subscribed Shares and determined that the Subscribed Shares are a suitable investment for Subscriber and that Subscriber is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of Subscriber’s investment in the Issuer. Subscriber acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

(k)    Subscriber understands that no federal or state agency has passed judgement upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Subscribed Shares or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment.

(l)    Subscriber is not (i) a person or entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC (“OFAC List”), or a person or entity prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program, (ii) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515, or (iii) a non-U.S. shell bank or providing banking services indirectly to a non-U.S. shell bank. Subscriber agrees to provide law enforcement agencies, if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law, provided that Subscriber is permitted to do so under applicable law. Subscriber represents that if it is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), that Subscriber maintains, either directly or through the use of a third-party administrator, policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. Subscriber also represents that, to the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List. Subscriber further represents and warrants that, to the extent required, it maintains, either directly or through the use of a third-party administrator, policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by or on behalf of Subscriber (and the investment funds managed by the Subscriber) and used to purchase the Subscribed Shares were legally derived. The Subscriber also represents that, to Subscriber’s knowledge, neither the Subscriber, nor any person having a direct or indirect beneficial interest in the Subscribed Shares purchased, is subject to restrictive measures and financial sanctions requirements of the European Union or Her Majesty’s Treasury in the United Kingdom as extended by statutory instrument to the Cayman Islands or any similar sanctions lists maintained by the United Nations or the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

(m)    No foreign person (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.224) in which the national or subnational governments of a single foreign state have a substantial interest (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.244) will acquire a substantial interest in the Issuer as a result of the purchase Subscribed Shares by Subscriber hereunder such that a declaration to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States would be mandatory under 31 C.F.R. Part 800.401, and no foreign person will have control (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.208) over the Issuer from and after the Closing as a result of the purchase of Subscribed Shares by Subscriber hereunder.

(n)    If Subscriber is an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), a plan, an individual retirement account or other arrangement that is subject to section 4975 of the Code, or an employee benefit plan that is a governmental plan (as defined in section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in section 3(33) of ERISA), a non-U.S. plan (as described in section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) or other plan that is not subject to the foregoing but may be subject to provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code (collectively, “Similar Laws”), or an entity whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement (each, a “Plan”) for purposes of Section 3(42) of ERISA or comparable provisions of any Similar Laws, Subscriber represents and warrants that (x) neither the Issuer, VIH, nor any of their respective affiliates (the “Transaction Parties”) has acted as the Plan’s fiduciary, or has been relied on for advice, with respect to its decision to acquire and hold the Subscribed Shares, and none of the Transaction Parties shall at any time be relied upon as the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision to acquire, continue to hold or transfer the Subscribed Shares and (y) Subscriber’s acquisition and holding of the Subscribed Shares shall not constitute or result in a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code (or, in the case of a governmental plan, church plan, non-U.S. Plan or other plan, a violation of Similar Law).

(o)    Subscriber does not have, as of the date hereof, and during the 30-day period immediately prior to the date hereof such Subscriber has not entered into, any “put equivalent position” as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act or short sale positions with respect to the securities of VIH. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Subscriber that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Subscriber’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Subscriber’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Subscribed Shares covered by this Subscription Agreement.

(p)    Subscriber at the Closing will have sufficient funds to pay the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.

(q)    No broker or finder is entitled to any brokerage or finder’s fee or commission solely in connection with the sale of the Subscribed Shares to Subscriber.

(r)    Subscriber agrees that, notwithstanding Section 9(i), each Placement Agent may rely upon the representations and warranties made by Subscriber to the Issuer and VIH in this Subscription Agreement.

Personal data may be required to be supplied by a Subscriber to the Issuer, its affiliates and delegates in order for an investment in the Issuer to be made and for the investment in the Issuer to continue. If the required personal data is not provided, the Subscriber will not be able to invest in

 

14


the Issuer. The Issuer’s privacy notice appended at Annex B provides information on the Issuer’s use of personal data in accordance with the Cayman Islands Data Protection Act (As Revised) and, in respect of EU data subjects, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (together, the “Data Protection Legislation”). The Subscriber acknowledges receipt of the Issuer’s privacy notice and agrees to promptly provide the privacy notice (or any updated version thereof as may be provided from time to time) to each individual (such as any individual directors, shareholders, beneficial owners, authorized signatories, trustees or others) whose personal data the Subscriber provides to the Issuer or any of its affiliate or delegates. The Subscriber represents and warrants that all personal data provided to the Issuer, its affiliates and delegates by or on behalf of the Subscriber is provided in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, including, without limitation, those relating to privacy or the use of personal data.

Section 6    Registration of Subscribed Shares.

(a)    The Issuer agrees that, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, the Issuer will file with the Commission (at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Subscribed Shares (the “Registration Statement”), and the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective no later than the earlier of (the “Effectiveness Deadline”) (i) sixty (60) calendar days following the Closing Date (or ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing Date if the Registration Statement is reviewed by, and receives comments from, the Commission) and (ii) the tenth (10th) business day after the date the Issuer is notified in writing by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. In no event shall the Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless requested by the Commission or required by statute, regulation or exchange rules; provided that if the Commission requests that the Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Subscriber will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Issuer from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Subscribed Shares by the applicable shareholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Subscribed Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Subscribed Shares as is permitted by the Commission. In such event, the number of Subscribed Shares to be registered for each selling shareholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders and as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional Subscribed Shares under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, the Issuer file a new Registration Statement to register such Subscribed Shares not included in the initial Registration Statement and cause such Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable. The Issuer agrees that, except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to remain effective with respect to Subscriber until the earlier of (i) two years from the issuance of the Subscribed Shares, (ii) the date on which all of the Subscribed Shares shall have been sold, or (iii) on the first date on which Subscriber can sell all of its Subscribed Shares (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 without restriction, including without limitation, as to the manner of sale or the amount of such securities that may be sold. The Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable Subscriber to resell the Subscribed Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement (for as long as the Registration Statement shall remain effective pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence) or Rule 144 (when Rule 144 becomes available to the Issuer), as applicable, qualify the Subscribed Shares for listing on the applicable stock exchange on which the Issuer’s ADSs are then listed, and update or amend the Registration Statement as

 

15


necessary to include the Subscribed Shares. The Issuer agrees, for as long as Subscriber holds Subscribed Shares, to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Issuer under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Issuer remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144 to enable the Subscriber to sell such securities under Rule 144 without registration. If requested by the Subscriber, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause the removal of the restrictive legends from any Subscribed Shares being sold under, or that may be sold or transferred pursuant to, the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 at the time of sale of such Subscribed Shares and, at the request of a Holder (as defined below), cause the removal of all restrictive legends from any Registrable Securities held by such Holder that may be sold by such Holder without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume and manner of sale restrictions, and (ii) cause its legal counsel to deliver an opinion, if necessary, to the transfer agent in connection with the instruction under subclause (i) to the effect that the removal of such restrictive legends in such circumstances may be effected under the Securities Act, in each case upon the receipt of customary representations and other documentation, if any, from the Holder as reasonably requested by the Issuer, its counsel or the transfer agent, establishing that restrictive legends are no longer required. Any fees (with respect to the transfer agent, Issuer counsel, The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), or otherwise) associated with the issuance of any legal opinion required by the Issuer’s transfer agent or the removal of such legends shall be borne by the Issuer. If restrictive legends may be removed for the Subscribed Shares pursuant to the foregoing, the Issuer will no later than three (3) Business Days of the request thereof deliver to the transfer agent instructions that the transfer agent shall make a new, unlegended entry for such book-entry Subscribed Shares or, at the request of the Subscriber, promptly transfer all of the Subscribed Shares, free from all restrictive legends, to Subscriber (including, as directed by such applicable Holder, that the transfer agent credit the account of the applicable Holder’s prime broker with DTC). “Holder” shall mean the Subscriber or any affiliate of the Subscriber to which the rights under this Section 6 shall have been assigned. Subscriber agrees to disclose its beneficial ownership, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, of Subscribed Shares to the Issuer (or its successor) upon request to assist the Issuer in making the determination described above. The Issuer’s obligations to include the Subscribed Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Issuer such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Issuer held by Subscriber (or any investment funds owning such Subscribed Shares which is managed by the Subscriber) and the intended method of disposition of the Subscribed Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Issuer to effect the registration of the Subscribed Shares, and Subscriber shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Issuer may reasonably request that are customary of a selling shareholder in similar situations, including providing that the Issuer shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement as permitted hereunder; provided, that Holder shall not be required to execute any lock-up or similar agreement or otherwise be subject to any contractual restriction on the ability to transfer the Subscribed Shares. In the case of the registration effected by the Issuer pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall, upon reasonable request, inform Subscriber as to the status of such registration. Subscriber shall not be entitled to use the Registration Statement for an underwritten offering of Subscribed Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Issuer may delay or postpone filing of such Registration Statement, and from time to time require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or suspend the use of any such Registration Statement if it determines that in order for the Registration Statement to not contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment or supplement thereto would be needed, or if such filing or use could materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of the Issuer or would require premature disclosure of information that

 

16


could materially adversely affect the Issuer (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided that (w) the Issuer shall not so delay filing or so suspend the use of the Registration Statement for a period of more than sixty (60) consecutive days or more than two (2) times in any three hundred sixty (360) day period and (x) the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such registration statement available for the sale by Subscriber of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter.

In the case of the registration effected by the Issuer pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall, upon reasonable request, inform Subscriber as to the status of such registration. At its expense the Issuer shall:

(i)    advise Subscriber within two (2) Business Days:

(1)    of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; and

(2)    of the receipt by the Issuer of any notification from the Stock Exchange or the Commission with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Subscribed Shares included therein or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

(b)    Upon receipt of any written notice from the Issuer (to the extent such Subscriber has not provided prior written notice to VIH and the Issuer that it waives its right to such notice under this provision) (which written notice from the Issuer shall not contain any material non-public information regarding the Issuer) of the occurrence of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Subscribed Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which the Issuer agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment or supplement has become effective or unless otherwise notified by the Issuer that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by the Issuer unless otherwise required by law, subpoena or regulatory request or requirement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, the obligations under this (ii) shall only relate to the confidentiality of the information in such written notice and shall not restrict any use of such information otherwise). If so directed by the Issuer, Subscriber will deliver to the Issuer or, in Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscribed Shares in Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscribed Shares shall not apply (i) to the extent Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

(c)    The Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable.

 

17


(d)    Except for such times as the Issuer is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Subscribed Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(e)    The Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Subscribed Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the ADSs of the Issuer have been listed.

(f)    The Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Subscribed Shares required hereby.

(g)    Indemnification.

(i)    The Issuer shall indemnify and hold harmless Subscriber (to the extent a seller under the Registration Statement), the officers, directors, agents and employees of Subscriber, each person who controls Subscriber (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, agents and employees of each such controlling person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all reasonable out-of-pocket losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”) that arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Issuer by Subscriber expressly for use therein or that Subscriber has omitted a material fact from such information. The Issuer shall notify Subscriber promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Section 6 of which the Issuer is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Subscribed Shares by Subscriber. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Issuer’s indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Issuer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii)    Subscriber shall, severally and not jointly with any Other Subscriber in the offering contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each person who controls the Issuer (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, or any form of prospectus, or in any

 

18


amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus, or any form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding Subscriber furnished in writing to the Issuer by Subscriber expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by Subscriber upon the sale of the Subscribed Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Subscriber indemnification obligations shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of Subscriber (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

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

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

Section 7    Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of (a) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of the Issuer, VIH and Subscriber to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) if any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 2(c), (d) and (e) of this Subscription Agreement are not satisfied or waived on or prior to the Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated at the Closing, or (d) the date that is twelve (12) months from the date hereof; provided, that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful and material breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach. The Issuer shall notify Subscriber of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination thereof. Upon a valid termination of this Subscription Agreement pursuant to this Section 7, after the delivery by the Subscriber of the Purchase Price for the Subscribed Shares, VIH and the Issuer shall promptly (but not later than two (2) Business Days thereafter) cause the Deposit Bank to return the Purchase Price (to the extent such Purchase Price was received prior to such termination) to the Subscriber without any deduction for, or on account of, any tax, withholding, charges or set-off.

Section 8    Trust Account Waiver. Subscriber hereby acknowledges that VIH has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of VIH’s public shareholders and certain other parties (including the underwriters of the IPO). For and in consideration of the Issuer and VIH entering into this Subscription Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber hereby (a) agrees that it does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any assets held in the Trust Account, and shall not make any claim against the Trust Account, regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to this Subscription Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Subscribed Shares, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Released Claims”), (b) irrevocably waives any Released Claims that it may have against the Trust Account now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with the Issuer or VIH, and (c) will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 8 shall be deemed to limit any Subscriber’s right to distributions from the Trust Account in accordance with VIH’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association in respect of VIH Class A Ordinary Shares acquired by any means other than pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

Section 9    Miscellaneous.

(a)    Any notice, request, claim, demand, waiver, consent, approval or other communication which is required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (i) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (ii) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier postage prepaid (receipt requested), (iii) on the date sent by email (with confirmation of transmission, and provided, that, unless affirmatively confirmed by the recipient as received, notice is also sent to such party under another method permitted in this Section 9(a) within two (2) Business Days thereafter) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next Business Day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient or (iv) on the third (3rd) Business Day after the date mailed, by

 

20


certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, in each case, addressed to the intended recipient at its address specified on the signature page hereof or to such electronic mail address or address as subsequently modified by written notice given in accordance with this Section 9(a); provided that any notice, request, claim, demand, waiver, consent, approval or other communication given pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) or (iv) shall also be given in the method provided in clause (iii).

(b)    Subscriber acknowledges that the Issuer, VIH, FinAccel, their respective affiliates, and the Placement Agents rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, Subscriber agrees to promptly notify the Issuer if it becomes aware that any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of Subscriber set forth herein are no longer accurate in all material respects. Each of the Issuer and VIH acknowledges that Subscriber and the other parties referenced above will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, each of the Issuer and VIH agrees to promptly notify Subscriber if it becomes aware that any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of the Issuer and VIH set forth herein are no longer accurate in all material respects.

(c)    Each of the Issuer, VIH, FinAccel and Subscriber is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

(d)    Each party hereto shall pay or cause to pay all of its own expenses in connection with this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein.

(e)    Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the parties hereto hereunder may be transferred or assigned without the prior written consent of each of the other parties hereto (other than the Subscribed Shares acquired hereunder, if any, and then only in accordance with this Subscription Agreement). Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Issuer or VIH hereunder may be transferred or assigned (provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Issuer or VIH may transfer the Subscription Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder solely in connection with the consummation of the Transaction and exclusively to another entity under the control of, or under common control with, the Issuer or VIH). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subscriber may transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this Subscription Agreement to one or more of its affiliates or another entity under the control of, or under common control with the Subscriber (including other investment funds or accounts managed or advised by the Subscriber or its affiliate or subsidiary), subsidiaries or equity holders or, with the Issuer’s prior written consent, to another person, provided that, in each of the foregoing, no such assignment or transfer shall relieve Subscriber of its obligations hereunder if any such assignee fails to perform such obligations and any assignee agrees to be bound by the obligations of a Subscriber and make the representations and warranties of a Subscriber as required hereunder.

(f)    All the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, if for any reason the Closing does not occur prior to the consummation of the Transaction, all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties hereunder shall survive the consummation of the Transaction and remain in full force and effect.

 

21


(g)    The Issuer may request from Subscriber such additional information (including identification information) from time to time as the Issuer may deem reasonably necessary to evaluate the eligibility of Subscriber to acquire the Subscribed Shares, and Subscriber shall provide such information as may be reasonably requested, to the extent readily available and to the extent consistent with its internal policies and procedures (except with respect to requests in connection with determining eligibility under applicable laws, rules or regulations (including, without limitation, anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing and proliferation financing, financial services or banking laws, rules or regulations) and/or requests by applicable governmental authorities, which requests shall be complied with in all respects). The Issuer may, without the consent of any person, take such action as it determines in its discretion to be necessary or advisable to comply with any anti-money laundering or anti-terrorist financing or proliferation financing laws, rules, regulations, directives or special measures.

(h)    This Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto. This Subscription Agreement may not be waived except by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any waiver of the Issuer of any of its rights hereunder will be effective only with VIH’s prior written consent.

(i)    This Subscription Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9(n), this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

(k)    If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

(l)    No failure or delay by the Issuer, VIH or Subscriber in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement, and no course of dealing between the Issuer, VIH or Subscriber, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of such party. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement by the Issuer, VIH or Subscriber, nor any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce any such right, power or remedy, shall preclude such party from any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The election of any remedy by the Issuer, VIH or Subscriber shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such party to pursue other available remedies. No notice to or demand on the Issuer, VIH or Subscriber not expressly required under this Subscription Agreement shall entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the party giving such notice or demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without such notice or demand.

 

22


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

(n)    Except as otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person; provided, however, that each Placement Agent shall be an intended third party beneficiary of the representations and warranties of the Issuer and VIH in Section 3 and Section 4 hereof and of Subscriber in Section 5 hereof.

(o)    The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to equitable relief, including in the form of an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Subscription Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise.

(p)    This Subscription Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws that would otherwise require the application of the law of any other state (except insofar as affected by the statutes, rules and regulations related to applicable financial services or banking authorities).

(q)    EACH PARTY AND ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY HEREBY WAIVES ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OR RELATED TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF ANY OTHER SUCH PARTY, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT.

(r)    The parties agree that all disputes, legal actions, suits and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement must be brought exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Delaware or, in the event each federal court within the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state court within the State of Delaware) (collectively the “Designated Courts”). Each party

 

23


hereby consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Designated Courts. No legal action, suit or proceeding with respect to this Subscription Agreement may be brought in any other forum. Each party hereby irrevocably waives all claims of immunity from jurisdiction and any objection which such party may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding in any Designated Court, including any right to object on the basis that any dispute, action, suit or proceeding brought in the Designated Courts has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum or venue. Each of the parties also agrees that delivery of any process, summons, notice or document to a party hereof in compliance with Section 9(a) of this Subscription Agreement shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in a Designated Court with respect to any matters to which the parties have submitted to jurisdiction as set forth above.

(s)    This Subscription Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based upon, arising out of, or related to this Subscription Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Subscription Agreement, may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, manager, member, partner, shareholder, affiliate, agent, attorney or other representative of any party hereto or of any affiliate of any party hereto, or any of their successors or permitted assigns, shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of any party hereto under this Subscription Agreement or for any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based on, in respect of or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(t)    Neither VIH nor the Issuer shall issue any press releases or other public communications relating to the transactions contemplated hereby that reference the Subscriber or its affiliates or investment advisers by name without the prior written consent of Subscriber. This restriction shall not apply to the extent public disclosure is required by applicable securities law, any governmental authority or stock exchange rule or as otherwise requested by the staff of the Commission or the request of any other regulatory or governmental agency; provided, that in the event such disclosure is required, VIH or the Issuer, as applicable, shall to the extent practicable and legally permissible, provide Subscriber with prior written notice of such permitted disclosure and consider, in good faith, any comments provided by Subscriber (to the extent such Subscriber has not provided prior written notice to VIH and the Issuer that it waives its right to such notice under this provision).

(u)    VIH shall, by 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first (1st) Business Day immediately following the date of the Transaction Agreement, issue one or more press releases or file with the Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K (collectively, the “Disclosure Document”) disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Other Subscription Agreements, the Transaction and any other material, nonpublic information that the Issuer or VIH or their respective representatives has provided to Subscriber at any time prior to the filing of the Disclosure Document. Upon the issuance of the Disclosure Document, to the Issuer’s knowledge, Subscriber shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information received from the Issuer or VIH or any of its officers, directors, or employees or agents (including Placement Agents), and Subscriber shall no longer be subject to any confidentiality or similar obligations under any current agreement, whether written or oral with Issuer, VIH, the Placement Agents or any of their affiliates in connection with the Transaction. Notwithstanding anything in this Subscription Agreement to the contrary, (i) each of the Issuer and VIH shall not publicly disclose the name of Subscriber or any of its affiliates or advisers, or include the name of Subscriber or any of its affiliates or advisers in any press release, without the prior written consent of Subscriber, (ii) each of the Issuer and VIH shall not publicly disclose the

 

24


name of the Subscriber or any of its affiliates or advisers, or include the name of the Subscriber or any of its affiliates or advisers in any filing with the Commission or any regulatory agency or trading market, without the prior written consent of Subscriber, and (iii) the Issuer, VIH and the Subscriber shall not publicly disclose the fact that the Subscriber or any of its affiliates has entered into this Agreement or is involved in the Subscription, except, in each of the foregoing (i) through (iii), (A) as required by the federal securities law and (B) to the extent such disclosure is required by law, at the request of the staff of the Commission or regulatory agency or under the regulations of the Stock Exchange, provided that in each such event, the applicable party shall provide advance notice to the other party (to the extent practicable and legally permissible) and use its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other party in advance as to the form, content and timing of any such disclosure. Subscriber will promptly provide any information reasonably requested by the Issuer or VIH for any regulatory application or filing made or approval sought in connection with the Transaction (including filings with the Commission).

(v)    The obligations of Subscriber under this Subscription Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any Other Subscriber or any other investor under the Other Subscription Agreements, and Subscriber shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Subscriber under this Subscription Agreement or any other investor under the Other Subscription Agreements. The decision of Subscriber to purchase Subscribed Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement has been made by Subscriber independently of any Other Subscriber or any other investor and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any Other Subscriber or investor or by any agent or employee of any Other Subscriber or investor, and neither Subscriber nor any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any Other Subscriber or investor (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein or in any Other Subscription Agreement, and no action taken by Subscriber or investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Subscriber and other investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that Subscriber and other investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements. Subscriber acknowledges that no Other Subscriber has acted as agent for Subscriber in connection with making its investment hereunder and no Other Subscriber will be acting as agent of Subscriber in connection with monitoring its investment in the Subscribed Shares or enforcing its rights under this Subscription Agreement. Subscriber shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Subscription Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Subscriber or investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The obligations of the Issuer and VIH shall be several and not joint; VIH shall not be liable to Subscriber for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by the Issuer; and the Issuer shall not be liable to Subscriber for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by VIH.

(w)    Subscriber hereby agrees that it shall comply with all regulatory requirements in connection with the Subscription and shall coordinate in good faith with the Issuer, VIH or FinAccel, as applicable, to provide all information as may reasonably be requested by any applicable governmental authority relating to the Subscription or the Transaction.

(ii)    Each of the Placement Agents, their respective affiliates and their respective representatives shall be entitled to (1) rely on, and shall be protected in acting upon, any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, letter or any other document or security delivered to any of them by or on behalf of the Issuer, and (2) be indemnified by the Issuer for acting as Placement Agents hereunder pursuant the indemnification provisions set forth in the Engagement Letter.

(y)    Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that none of any other party to the Transaction Agreement (other than each of the Issuer and VIH) or any Non-Party Affiliate (as defined below), shall have any liability to Subscriber, or to any other investor, pursuant to, arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement or any Other Subscription Agreement , the negotiation hereof or thereof or its subject matter, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including, without limitation, with respect to any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Subscribed Shares or with respect to any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) for breach of this Subscription Agreement or in respect of any written or oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith, as expressly provided herein, or for any actual or alleged inaccuracies, misstatements or omissions with respect to any information or materials of any kind furnished by the Issuer, VIH, FinAccel, or any Non-Party Affiliate concerning Issuer, VIH, FinAccel, any of their controlled affiliates, this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “Non-Party Affiliates” means each former, current or future officer, director, employee, partner, member, investment manager, manager, direct or indirect equityholder, investors, representatives, agents, predecessors, successors, assigns, or affiliate of the Issuer, VIH, FinAccel, or any of the Issuer’s, VIH’s or FinAccel’s controlled affiliates or any family member of the foregoing.

(z)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Interim Period Financing is expressly permitted by this Agreement and shall not be deemed to violate any representations, warranties or covenants of the Issuer or VIH or constitute a basis that any of the closing conditions contained in Section 2(e) is not satisfied.

Your personal data will be processed by the Issuer, and by persons engaged by the Issuer. Under the Data Protection Legislation, you have rights, and the Issuer has obligations, with respect to your personal data. The purpose of this notice is to explain how and why the Issuer, and persons engaged by the Issuer, will use, store, share and otherwise process your personal data. This notice also sets out your rights under the Data Protection Legislation, and how you may exercise them.

Your personal data

By virtue of making an investment in the Issuer (including the initial application and ongoing interactions with the Issuer and persons engaged by the Issuer (whether past, present or future), including the recording of electronic communications or phone calls were applicable) or by virtue of you otherwise providing us with personal information on individuals connected with you as an investor (for example directors, trustees, employees, representatives, shareholders, investors, clients, beneficial owners or agents), you will provide us with certain personal information which constitutes personal data within the meaning of the Data Protection Legislation (“Investor Data”). In particular, you will provide us with personal information within the forms and any associated documentation that you complete when subscribing for shares; when you provide it to us or our service providers in correspondence and conversations (including by email); when you make transactions with respect to the Issuer; and when you provide remittance instructions.

We may also obtain personal data on you from other publicly accessible directories and sources. These may include websites; bankruptcy registers; tax authorities; governmental agencies and departments, and regulatory authorities, to whom we have regulatory obligations; credit reference agencies; sanctions screening databases; and fraud prevention and detection agencies and organizations, including law enforcement.

Investor Data includes, without limitation, the following information relating to you and/or any individuals connected with you as an investor in the Issuer such as: name, residential address, email address, contact details, corporate contact information, signature, nationality, place of birth, date of birth, tax identification, credit history, correspondence records, passport number, bank account details, and source of funds details and details relating to your investment activity.


In our use of Investor Data, the Issuer will be characterized as a “data controller” for the purposes of the DPA. The Issuer’s affiliates and delegates may act as “data processors” for the purposes of the DPA.

How the Issuer may use your personal data

The Issuer, as the data controller, may collect, store and use Investor Data for purposes including the following.

The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract, including:

 

 

administering or managing the Issuer;

 

 

processing your subscription and investment in the Issuer, such as entering your information in the register of shareholders;

 

 

facilitating the continuation or termination of the contractual relationship between you and the Issuer; and

 

 

facilitating the transfer of funds, and administering and facilitating any other transaction, between you and the Issuer or other relevant entities.

The processing is necessary for compliance with applicable legal or regulatory obligations, including:

 

 

undertaking investor due diligence including anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing checks, including verifying the identity and addresses of our investors (and, where applicable, their beneficial owners);

 

 

sanctions screening and complying with applicable sanctions and embargo legislation;

 

 

complying with requests from regulatory, governmental, tax and law enforcement authorities;

 

 

surveillance and investigation activities;

 

 

carrying out audit checks, and instructing our auditors;

 

 

maintaining statutory registers; and

 

 

preventing and detecting fraud.

In pursuance of our legitimate interests, or those of a third party to whom Investor Data is disclosed, including:

 

 

complying with a legal, tax, accounting or regulatory obligation to which we or the third party are subject;

 

 

assessing and processing requests you make;

 

 

sending updates, information and notices or otherwise corresponding with you in connection with your investment in the Issuer;

 

 

investigating any complaints, or pursuing or defending any claims, proceedings or disputes;

 

 

providing you with, and informing you about investment products and services;

We will only process Investor Data in pursuance of our legitimate interests where we have considered that the processing is necessary and, on balance, our legitimate interests are not overridden by your legitimate interests, rights or freedoms.


Sharing your personal data

We may share Investor Data with our affiliates and delegates. In certain circumstances we may be legally obliged to share Investor Data and other financial information with respect to your interest in the Fund with relevant regulatory authorities such as the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority, the Cayman Islands General Registry or the Cayman Islands Tax Information Authority. They, in turn, may exchange this information with foreign authorities, including tax authorities and other applicable regulatory authorities.

The Issuer’s affiliates and delegates may process Investor Data on the Issuer’s behalf, including with our banks, accountants, auditors and lawyers which may be data controllers in their own right. The Issuer’s services providers are generally processors acting on the instructions of the Issuer. Additionally, a service provider may use Investor Data where this is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which it is directly subject (for example, to comply with applicable law in the area of anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing or where mandated by a court order or regulatory sanction). The service provider, in respect of this specific use of personal data, acts as a data controller.

In exceptional circumstances, we will share Investor Data with regulatory, prosecuting and other governmental agencies or departments, and parties to litigation (whether pending or threatened) in any country or territory.

Sending your personal data internationally

Due to the international nature of our business, Investor Data may be transferred to jurisdictions that do not offer equivalent protection of personal data as under the Data Protection Legislation. In such cases, we will process personal data or procure that it be processed in accordance with the requirements of the Data Protection Legislation, which may include having appropriate contractual undertakings in legal agreements with service providers who process personal data on our behalf.

Retention and deletion of your personal data

We will keep Investor Data for as long as it is required by us. For example, we may require it for our legitimate business purposes, to perform our contractual obligations, or where law or regulation obliges us to. We will generally retain Investor Data throughout the lifecycle of the investment you are involved in. Some personal data will be retained after your relationship with us ends. We expect to delete Investor Data (at the latest) once there is no longer any legal or regulatory requirement or legitimate business purpose for retaining such Investor Data.

Automated decision-making

We will not take decisions producing legal effects concerning you, or otherwise significantly affecting you, based solely on automated processing of Investor Data, unless we have considered the proposed processing in a particular case and concluded in writing that it meets the applicable requirements under the Data Protection Legislation.

Your rights

You have certain data protection rights, including the right to:

 

   

be informed about the purposes for which Investor Data are processed;

Exhibit 99.1

PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL

Kredivo, the Leading Digital Consumer Credit Platform in Southeast Asia,

Announces Plans to Become a Publicly Traded Company via Merger

with VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings II

Kredivo is the largest and fastest growing buy now, pay later platform in Indonesia, Southeast Asia’s largest economy, fueled by a rapidly growing middle class and e-commerce market

Institutional investors committed $120 million in a PIPE led by Marshall Wace, Corbin Capital, SV Investment, Palantir Technologies, Maso Capital, and sponsor Victory Park Capital, with a concurrent equity commitment of $55 million from existing FinAccel investors NAVER and Square Peg

Transaction assigns FinAccel, Kredivo’s parent company, an expected pro forma equity value of approximately $2.5 billion and is expected to deliver over $430 million of gross proceeds to the company

Public listing expected to enable Kredivo’s continued growth in Indonesia, expansion into regional markets, and the ability to enter new business lines

SINGAPORE, JAKARTA and CHICAGO – August 2, 2021 – FinAccel, the parent of Kredivo, the leading AI-enabled digital consumer credit platform in Southeast Asia, and VPC Impact Acquisition Holdings II (NASDAQ: VPCB) (“VPCB”), a special purpose acquisition company sponsored by Victory Park Capital (“VPC”), today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement for a business combination that will result in FinAccel becoming a publicly traded company with an expected pro forma equity value of approximately $2.5 billion, assuming no redemptions.

Kredivo provides customers instant credit financing for e-commerce and offline purchases, as well as personal loans, based on proprietary, AI-enabled real-time decisioning. With nearly 4 million approved customers today and a presence across eight of the top 10 e-commerce merchants in Indonesia, it is the largest and fastest growing buy now, pay later (BNPL) platform in Indonesia today, with plans to expand into regional markets such as Vietnam and Thailand in the near future. Kredivo serves a target segment that comprises the rapidly growing middle class of Indonesia, with interest rates that are amongst the lowest in the country, and an application and approval process that takes as little as two minutes.

Kredivo has a track record of being a superior solution for online and offline merchants. With less than 10% of the middle class in Indonesia in possession of a credit card, merchants partner with Kredivo to help increase customer spend. Surveyed merchants that partner with Kredivo experience more than double the average basket size, up to three times more frequent transactions, and over 50% of these merchants say Kredivo helps increase cart conversion rate during checkout.

“As the top buy now, pay later platform in Indonesia, Kredivo is an established force in the large and rapidly growing point of sale financing market,” said Akshay Garg, Co-Founder and CEO of FinAccel. “Unlike Western markets where credit is readily accessible, traditional banks in Southeast Asia have historically provided little consumer credit in our markets, which creates a large opportunity for Kredivo to tap into other credit needs, such as personal loans, and fulfill our vision of providing fast, affordable, and easily accessible credit to tens of millions of customers in the region. Considering that 66% of Southeast Asia’s population is unbanked or under-banked, we also see a very attractive opportunity to serve these customers with other financial services, outside of credit. We are proud to have the continued support of our longstanding investors in our pursuit to realize our long-term vision and growth strategy.”

Victory Park Capital, a global investment firm headquartered in Chicago, has a long track record of executing debt and equity financing transactions with some of the largest, most innovative global fintech companies. VPC and Kredivo have a long-standing relationship, with VPC providing an initial $100 million credit facility to the company in July 2020 and upsizing it to $200 million in June 2021. In addition, VPC and its limited partners have invested approximately $30 million into the PIPE and are committed to a two-year lockup on their sponsor shares, unless otherwise accelerated based on average trading performance measures beginning one-year following the closing. VPCB completed its initial public offering in March 2021.

“Since our initial investment in 2020, we continue to be impressed by Kredivo’s rapid growth and strong credit metrics and unit economics,” said Gordon Watson, Co-CEO of VPCB and Partner at VPC. “The company has created an impressive platform that enables it to expand into new markets. Its world-class management team has a proven ability to not only execute on its strategy, but also revolutionize fintech across Southeast Asia.”

FinAccel has been backed by high-quality investors including Square Peg, Mirae Asset, NAVER, Jungle Ventures, GMO Internet, and Telkom Indonesia.

Key Transaction Terms

Upon completion of the transaction, the combined company is expected to have a pro forma equity value of approximately $2.5 billion, assuming no redemptions. It is expected to result in over $430 million of cash on the combined company’s balance sheet, reflecting a contribution of up to $256 million of cash held in VPCB’s trust account (assuming none of VPCB’s stockholders redeem their shares), a $120 million concurrent private placement (PIPE) led by Marshall Wace, Corbin Capital, SV Investment, Palantir Technologies, Maso Capital, and sponsor VPC, with a concurrent equity commitment of $55 million from existing FinAccel investors NAVER (through NAVER Financial) and Square Peg.

The proposed business combination has been unanimously approved by the respective Boards of Directors of Kredivo and VPCB, and is subject to approval by VPCB’s stockholders, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The business combination is expected to close no later than the first quarter of 2022.

A more detailed description of the business combination and a copy of the Business Combination Agreement will be included in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by VPCB with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). VPCB will also file a registration statement (which will contain a proxy statement/prospectus) with the SEC in connection with the business combination.

Each of the recipient and the placement agents, by accepting and providing this presentation respectively, expressly disclaims any fiduciary relationship and agrees that the recipient is responsible for making its own independent judgments with respect to any transaction and any other matters regarding this presentation. Forward-Looking Statements This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1996. The Company’s actual results may differ from expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect”, “estimate”, “project”, “budget”, “forecast”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “may”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “believes”, “predicts”, “potential”, “continue”, and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the Company’s and VIH II’s expectations with respect to future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the Transaction, the satisfaction of closing conditions to the Transaction and the timing of the completion of the Transaction. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from the expected results. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (1) the inability of VIH II to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to the Transaction or to complete the Transaction; (2) matters discovered by VIH II or the Company as they complete their respective due diligence investigations of each other; (3) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against VIH II or the Company following announcement of the Transaction; (4) the risk that the announcement or consummation of the Transaction disrupts current plans and operations; (5) the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Transaction; (6) costs related to the Transaction; (7) changes in the applicable laws or regulations, including but not limited to gaming laws and regulations; and (8) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in VIH II’s filings with the SEC. VIH II and the Company caution that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive and not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Neither VIH II nor the Company undertakes or accepts any obligation to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Disclaimer (con’t) Industry and Market Data In this presentation, we rely on and refer to information and statistics regarding market participants in the sectors in which the Company competes and other industry data. We obtained this information and statistics from third-party sources, including reports by market research firms and company filings. Trademarks This presentation may contain trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights of other companies, which are the property of their respective owners. Solely for convenience, some of the trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights referred to in this presentation may be listed without the TM, SM © or ® symbols, but VIH II and the Company will assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, the rights of the applicable owners, if any, to these trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights. No Offer or Solicitation This presentation shall not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the Transaction. This presentation shall also not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Financial Information; Use of Projections Unless otherwise specified, the financial information and data contained in this presentation is unaudited, is based on draft statutory accounts, does not conform to Regulation S-X, and is subject to PCAOB audit, with respect to yearly data, and subject to auditor review, with respect to quarterly data. Accordingly, such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in the registration statement to be filed with the SEC and the proxy statement/prospectus contained therein. You should review the Company's audited financial statements, which will be included in the registration statement relating to the proposed business combination. In addition, all of the Company's historical financial information included herein is preliminary and subject to change. This presentation also contains certain financial forecasts of the Company. Neither the Company’s nor VIH II’s independent auditors have studied, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this presentation, and accordingly, neither of them expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this presentation. These projections are for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. In this presentation, certain of the above-mentioned projected information has been provided for purposes of providing comparisons with historical data. The assumptions and estimates underlying the prospective financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information. Projections are inherently uncertain due to a number of factors outside of the Company’s control. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the prospective results are indicative of future performance of the combined company after the Transaction or that actual results will not differ materially from those presented in the prospective financial information. Inclusion of the prospective financial information in this presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results contained in the prospective financial information will be achieved. Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures This presentation includes non-IFRS financial measures, including EBITDA (pre-provisions) and EBIDTA (post-provisions). EBITDA (pre-provisions) is defined as Revenue less Cost of External Funds, Headcount Cost, Technology Cost, Marketing Cost, General and Admin Cost, Bad Debt Expense, and Processing and Collection Cost. EBITDA (post provisions) is defined as EBITDA (pre-provisions) less Loan Loss Provisions. The Company and VIH II believe that these non-IFRS measures are useful to investors for two principal reasons: 1) these measures may assist investors in comparing performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis by removing from operating results the impact of items that do not reflect core operating performance; and 2) these measures are used by the Company’s management and board of directors to assess its performance and may (subject to the limitations described below) enable investors to compare the performance of the Company and the combined company to its competition. The Company and VIH II believe that the use of these non-IFRS financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends. These non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as an alternative to, financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. Other companies may calculate these non-IFRS measures differently, and therefore such measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. For additional information and a reconciliation of these non-IFRS financial measures to the nearest comparable IFRS financial measures, see the section titled “Reconciliation from EBITDA to Net Loss” on page 42 of this presentation.

RISK FACTORS


SLIDE 46

Risk factors relating to Kredivo We operate in a highly competitive industry, and our inability to compete successfully would materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects. We are a rapidly growing company with a relatively limited operating history, which may result in increased risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties, and makes it difficult to evaluate our prospects. The success and growth of our business depends upon our ability to continuously innovate, optimize existing product offerings and improve user experience. We have a history of operating losses and may not achieve or sustain profitability in the future. To the extent that we seek to grow through future acquisitions, or other strategic investments or alliances, including the proposed acquisition of PT Bank Bisnis Internasional Tbk, or Bank Bisnis, a licensed bank in Indonesia, we may not be able to achieve or obtain the intended benefits of such acquisitions, and such acquisitions may subject us to new regulatory requirements and significant risks. Most of the loans facilitated through our platform are not secured, guaranteed, or insured, and these loans involve collection risk. If our collection efforts on delinquent loans are ineffective or unsuccessful, the recovery rates of these loans would be adversely affected. Determining our allowance for credit losses requires many assumptions and complex analyses. If our estimates prove incorrect, we may incur net charge-offs in excess of our reserves, which would adversely affect our results of operations. The data, projections and estimates contained in this proxy statement / prospectus are subject to significant risks, assumptions, estimates, inherent uncertainties and may not be reliable or may prove to be inaccurate. As a result, our projected revenues, expenses and profitability may differ materially from our expectations and you should not place undue reliance on such information as a basis for making your investment decision. Our revenue and net income may be materially and adversely affected by any economic slowdown or developments in the social, political, regulatory and economic environment in Indonesia. If we are unable to attract additional merchants and retain and grow our relationships with our existing merchant partners, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects would be materially and adversely affected. If we are unable to attract new consumers and retain and grow our relationships with our existing consumers, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects would be materially and adversely affected. We rely on our largest funding partner, VPC, for a significant portion of our funding availability and any termination or variation of our current funding arrangements with VPC may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and prospects. We have engaged in related-party transactions and likely will do so in the future, including with certain of our existing shareholders. We have previously received consumer complaints regarding some of our services. If we fail to maintain a consistently high level of consumer satisfaction and trust in our brand, our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects would be materially and adversely affected. We rely on a variety of funding sources such as credit lines, warehouse facilities, joint-financing and domestic channeling from domestic banks and financial institutions, to support our business. If our existing funding arrangements are not renewed or replaced or our existing funding sources are unwilling or unable to provide funding to us on terms acceptable to us, or at all, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and prospects.


SLIDE 47

Risk factors relating to Kredivo (Cont’d) Our loan and financing agreements contain operating and financial covenants or other requirements that may restrict our business activities and growth strategies, including mergers. Our ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by events beyond our control, and breaches of these or other requirements could result in a default. The loss of the services of founders, executive officers or other key employees, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects. Litigation, regulatory actions, and compliance issues could subject us to fines, penalties, judgments, remediation costs, requirements resulting in increased expenses and other requirements and restrictions which may have material adverse effect on our business and operations. Stringent and changing laws and regulations relating to privacy and data protection could result in claims, harm our results of operations, financial condition, and prospects, or otherwise harm our business. A large percentage of our revenue is concentrated with our e-commerce merchant partners, and the loss of any of these top e-commerce merchant partners or any other significant merchant relationships would materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects. We may not be able to sustain our revenue growth rate, or our growth rate of related key operating metrics, in the future. Our business depends on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled employees. If we fail to promote, protect, and maintain our brand in a cost-effective manner, we may lose market share and our revenue may decrease. Our quarterly results may fluctuate significantly and may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business. Negative publicity about us or our industry could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects. Real or perceived software errors, failures, bugs, defects, or outages could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects. Any significant disruption in, or errors in, service on our platform or relating to vendors, including events beyond our control, could prevent us from processing transactions on our platform or posting payments and have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects. Our vendor relationships subject us to a variety of risks, and the failure of third parties to comply with legal or regulatory requirements or to provide various services that are important to our operations could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects. Changes in market interest rates and changes of regulations in relation to interest rates could have an adverse effect on our business. Our business may be adversely affected by our ability to competitively market and advertise our interest rates vis-à-vis our competitors. Our business is exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. A majority of our funding balance is denominated in foreign currencies, including U.S. Dollars and Japanese Yen. Any material fluctuation in these currency exchange rates would affect our funding cost. Our business, financial condition and results of operations have been and may continue to be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. While we take significant precautions to prevent consumer identity fraud, we have been subject to incidents of such fraud in the past. It is possible that identity fraud may still occur, which may adversely affect the performance of the loans facilitated through our platform, reduce both consumer and lender confidence in our platform or otherwise adversely affect our business and results of operations. Our ability to protect our confidential, proprietary, or sensitive information, including the confidential information of consumers on our platform, may be adversely affected by cyber-attacks, employee or other internal misconduct, computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins, or similar disruptions.


SLIDE 48

Risk factors relating to Kredivo (Cont’d) Security breaches involving sensitive and confidential information could also expose us to liability under various laws and regulations across jurisdictions and increase the risk of litigation and governmental investigation. Misconduct and errors by our employees, vendors, and service providers could harm our business and reputation. We may be unable to sufficiently obtain, maintain, protect, or enforce our intellectual property and other proprietary rights. We may be sued by third parties for alleged infringement, misappropriation, or other violation of their intellectual property or other proprietary rights. Some aspects of our platform include open source software, and our use of open source software could negatively affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects. We have identified certain material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, including with respect to our risk assessment procedures and our staffing and delineation of duties among our personnel, and if our remediation of such material weaknesses is not effective, or if we experience additional material weaknesses or otherwise fail to design and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, our ability to timely and accurately report our financial condition and results of operations in compliance with reporting requirements applicable for public companies in the United States could be impaired, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and, as a result, the value of our shares. If we discover a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting that we are unable to remedy or otherwise fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or disclosure controls and procedures, our ability to report our financial results on a timely and accurate basis and the market price of our equity securities may be adversely affected. If our risk management framework does not effectively identify and control our risks, we could suffer unexpected losses or be adversely affected, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Credit and other information that we receive from prospective borrowers and third parties about a borrower may be inaccurate and thus may not accurately reflect the borrower's creditworthiness, which may compromise the accuracy of our credit assessment. We may have to constrain our business activities to avoid being deemed an investment company under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940. Contractual arrangements related to our corporate structure are subject to risks, including without limitation, failure of counterparties to perform their contractual obligations, conflicts of interests and regulatory oversight and penalties. Our revenue is impacted, to a significant extent, by the general economy in Indonesia. We are subject to risks associated with operating in the rapidly evolving Southeast Asia region, and we are therefore exposed to various risks inherent in operating in the region. Expanding our operations to the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and other markets outside of Indonesia would subject us to new challenges and risks. Our business is heavily concentrated in Indonesian consumer credit, and therefore our results are more susceptible to fluctuations in that market than a more diversified company. Our business is subject to the risks of earthquakes, fires, floods, and other natural catastrophic events and to interruption by man-made issues such as strikes and terrorist attacks. Our corporate structure and intercompany arrangements may be subject to scrutiny by the Indonesian tax authorities and they may determine that we owe additional taxes, which could negatively affect our financial condition. Uncertainties with respect to the legal system in certain markets in Southeast Asia could adversely affect our business. We are subject to various consumer protection laws. Our business is subject to extensive regulation, examination, and oversight in a variety of areas, all of which are subject to change and uncertain interpretation. Changing laws in Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, as well as changing regulatory enforcement policies and priorities, including changes that may result from changes in the political landscape, may negatively impact our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.


SLIDE 49

Risk factors relating to Kredivo (Cont’d) If our funding structure, including channeling, credit line, warehouse facility and joint financing, is successfully challenged or deemed impermissible, we could be found to be in violation of licensing, interest rate limit, lending, or brokering laws and face penalties, fines, litigation, or regulatory enforcement. If we fail to obtain our lending licenses or if our lending licenses are found to violate applicable provisions of applicable lending and other laws, it could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects. The highly regulated environment in which our funding partners and other funding partners operate could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects. Our business is subject to various anti-corruption laws, anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism financing laws, and failure to comply with any such obligation could have significant adverse consequences for us. Our industry is rapidly evolving and the regulations and requirements governing our business continue to develop and grow. If we were found to be operating without having obtained necessary licenses, it could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects. Any such penalties, fines, litigation or regulatory enforcement could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects. We may in the future be subject to regulatory inquiries and general litigation regarding our business. Changes in, or failure to comply with, competition laws could adversely affect our business. Our business, in certain jurisdictions, is subject to restrictions on foreign ownership. We could face uncertain tax liabilities in various jurisdictions where we operate, and suffer adverse financial consequences as a result. VPCB’s directors and officers have potential conflicts of interest in recommending that VPCB’s stockholders vote in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement and the business combination, and approval of the other proposals to be described in the proxy statement relating to the business combination. VPCB’s sponsor, directors and officers have agreed to vote in favor of the business combination, regardless of how VPCB’s public stockholders vote. As a result, approximately 20.0% of VPCB’s voting securities outstanding, representing the VPCB voting securities held by VPCB’s sponsor, directors and officers, will be contractually obligated to vote in favor of the business combination. The ability of VPCB’s stockholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of outstanding shares of VPCB Class A common stock could increase the probability that the business combination would not occur. VPCB’s founders, directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates may elect to purchase shares of VPCB Class A common stock or VPCB warrants from public stockholders, which may influence the vote on the business combination and reduce the public “float” of VPCB’s Class A common stock. If you hold public warrants of VPCB, VPCB may, in accordance with their terms, redeem your unexpired VPCB warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you. Even if VPCB consummates the business combination, there can be no assurance that VPCB’s public warrants will be in the money during their exercise period, and they may expire worthless. The business combination is subject to conditions, including certain conditions that may not be satisfied on a timely basis, if at all.


SLIDE 50

Risk factors relating to Kredivo (Cont’d) The VPCB board has not obtained and will not obtain a third-party valuation or financial opinion in determining whether to proceed with the business combination. Current VPCB stockholders will own a smaller proportion of the post-closing company than they currently own of VPCB common stock. In addition, following the closing of the business combination, VPCB may issue additional shares or other equity securities without your approval, which would further dilute your ownership interests and may depress the market price of its shares. If the business combination’s benefits do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of VPCB’s securities or, following the closing, the combined entity’s securities, may decline. Following the consummation of the business combination, the combined company will incur significant increased expenses and administrative burdens as a public company, which could negatively impact its business, financial condition and results of operations. An active trading market for our ADSs may never develop or be sustained, which may cause shares of our ADSs to trade at a discount from the initial public offering price and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the initial public offering price. The market price of our ADSs may be volatile, which could cause the value of your investment to decline. We have broad discretion over the use of net proceeds from this offering and we may not use them effectively. Investors in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution. We will incur increased costs and become subject to additional regulations and requirements as a result of becoming a public company, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance matters, which could lower profits and make it more difficult to run our business. Failure to comply with the requirements to design, implement, and maintain effective internal controls could have an adverse effect on our business and share price of our ADSs. Sales, directly or indirectly, of a substantial amount of our ADSs in the public markets by our existing security holders may cause the price of our ADSs to decline. The issuance by us of additional equity securities may dilute your ownership and adversely affect the market price of our ADSs. We may not pay dividends for the foreseeable future. In making your investment decision, you should understand that we and the placement agents have not authorized any other party to provide you with information concerning us or this offering. If securities and industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the share price and trading volume of our ADSs could decline. We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Exchange Act, and as such we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to domestic public companies in the United States. If we are a passive foreign investment company for United States federal income tax purposes for any taxable year, United States holders of ADSs or our ordinary shares could be subject to adverse United States federal income tax consequences. As a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands, we are permitted to adopt certain home country practices in relation to corporate governance matters that differ significantly from NASDAQ corporate governance listing standards; these practices may afford less protection to shareholders than they would enjoy if we complied fully with Nasdaq corporate governance listing standards. You may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because we are incorporated under the law of the Cayman Islands, we conduct substantially all of its operations and a majority of our directors and executive officers reside outside of the United States.

In addition, there may be additional risks that neither VIH II nor FinAccel presently know, or that VIH II or FinAccel currently believe are immaterial, that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect VIH II’s and FinAccel’s expectations, plans, projections or forecasts of future events and view.

The inclusion of any statement in this document does not constitute an admission by FinAccel nor VIH II or any other person that the events or circumstances described in such statement are material. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing VIH II’s or FinAccel’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this document. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements. In addition, the analyses of FinAccel and VIH II contained herein are not, and do not purport to be, appraisals of the securities, assets or business of the FinAccel, VIH II or any other entity.

Gordon Watson

Hello, welcome everyone. My name is Gordon Watson. I’m a Partner at Victory Park Capital and I’m the co-CEO of the SPAC we’re here to discuss, VIH II. We’re very excited to announce our transaction with Kredivo, which is the clear leader in the buy now pay later sector in Indonesia with a very high level of market share and very strong growth vectors going forward, so we’re very excited to introduce you to the team and the story here.

If you flip to Slide 4, these are today’s presenters. They’re the management team and founders of Kredivo who I will be turning it off to during the presentation and they can give introductions of themselves at that time.

Slide 5, a brief overview of Victory Park. We’re an investment manager headquartered in Chicago with a large focus on fintech investing. We’ve done over 60 fintech transactions since our inception in 2007, so we feel we know the sector fairly well. We’re a proven SPAC sponsor. We’ve sponsored a total of four SPACs and we have two prior announced deals in Bakkt, which is a spin out of the Intercontinental Exchange Corp. and then Dave, which is our leading U.S. based wallet here in the U.S.

Most importantly for this discussion, we’re not new to Kredivo. We’ve known the company for over three years, and we are an exiting investor in the business. We closed on a $100 million credit facility to the company in 2020, after doing almost a year of business diligence, including on-the-ground work in Indonesia and Singapore with ourselves and third parties we use to help us do the diligence. The company has performed so well that we’ve recently upsized our credit facility to $200 million, and we’re making a large commitment to the PIPE as part of this transaction also. Pro forma, we’ll be the largest dollar investor in the business, and we remain very excited about it.

If I could summarize Kredivo, it is by far and away the leading buy now pay later business in Indonesia, but it’s actually a bit more than that because the dynamics of the market are slightly different. It’s really also a payments business. The average customer uses Kredivo almost 25 times a year. That’s a significant premium to the global buy now pay later business peers with Affirm a little over two times and then Afterpay about eight times. Consumers use this very frequently to pay for products, and often will pay it off within 30 days, similar to how credit cards are used in the West.

As you’ll hear, credit card penetration in the market in Indonesia is very low. It’s one of the lowest credit card penetrations in the world, and this is really being seen as a replacement for the credit cards. It has very strong growth vectors as buy now pay later, but also it’s not really competing against credit cards in the same way that it does in Western markets. It’s really inventing the market.

Then, it’s also really a credit business. They underwrite from scratch. Most Western models rely on FICO, which is obviously existing credit built. They’re basically building their own credit agency in that they are underwriting consumers from scratch and they’re doing it at a level that’s really unprecedented in the market. As you’ll see in their LTV numbers, that’s why their LTV to CAC numbers are so high because their underwriting losses are very low relative to others in the market, which we think is a clear competitive advantage.

If you go to the next slide, you know, the transaction here, we’re announcing that there’s a $120 million fully committed PIPE in addition to a $55 million convertible note that’s being funded by existing shareholders in the near term. We have committed to a 24-month lockup on our founder’s shares, which we’re voluntarily extending as part of this so we will be long-term investors. We obviously have a credit facility and we’ll be locked up for a couple years, so we’re very long-term committed to this business.

On a valuation basis, we have some comps in the end but we’re basically bringing this at a significant discount to global peers. No matter sort of who you comp it against; if you use the buy now pay later players globally, if you use high growth fintech, or if you use regional players in Southeast Asia, we’re bringing this at a discount, despite the very strong unit economics and strong growth that these guys have demonstrated to date.

Also, importantly here, there’s no secondary. All the money is going directly to the balance sheet. This company has some of the leading venture capital investors in all of Asia. None of them are taking any money off the table and indeed, two of the largest are adding money via the convertible note, which will

convert into the PIPE at the closing of the deSPAC, and management is also taking no money off the table. All the money is going directly to the balance sheet to help them continue to grow within Indonesia, and also to expand into new markets and into digital banking as well.

With that, I’m just going to turn it over to Akshay Garg, who is the co-Founder and CEO, and he can give you his background and tell you more about the exciting story that is Kredivo. Thank you.

Akshay Garg

Thank you very much, Gordon. It’s really a pleasure to be here and tell you all a little bit more about Kredivo. I co-founded the business about five and a half years ago, along with Umang Rustagi, who is also on the call here. He’s the Deputy CEO of the business, and Alie Tan, who is our CTO. We founded the business about five and a half years ago with a vision of democratizing access to credit in what is one of the most credit starved regions of the world.

With that, I’m really excited to tell you a little bit more about Kredivo. We are the number one buy now pay later platform in Indonesia. We’re number one, whichever way you’d like to think about it, by market share, by growth rate, also by quality of business, which is to say that we’re not just high growth but solidly profitable. We operate in a very fast-growing ecommerce market. Buy now pay later by itself is expected to be a $25 billion addressable opportunity across Indonesia and our satellite markets of the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, growing at about 60% a year over the next five years.

We also operate with a very deep regulatory moat. In Indonesia, we operate primarily under a consumer finance license. Over the last one year we also invested a lot of time and effort in acquiring the right licenses in our expansion markets, in Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines, and this gives us a fantastic springboard to launch in these markets whenever we’re ready.

Let’s move to Slide 8 please. A great way to think about the opportunity here is really across these three dimensions of large market size, limited access to credit, and a very large and fast-growing ecommerce market. Indonesia, plus Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand, collectively represent an economic bloc which is going to be north of $3 trillion in size by the year 2025. This really represents one of the fastest growing economic regions in the world. At the same time, it’s a region that suffers from poor credit penetration, particularly when it comes to unsecured credit.

Just as a proxy for that, credit card penetration in this part of the world is really only about 3% to 4% and it’s not growing. At the same time, this is one of the fastest growing ecommerce markets in the world with what is expected to be a $150 billion NMV market opportunity, roughly about a $200 billion GMV opportunity, translating into a $25 billion addressable market just for ecommerce focused buy now pay later.

Moving on to Slide 9, Kredivo really exists to serve both customers and merchants as a buy now pay later platform. To customers, we really serve them by providing access to really speedy credit, but equally importantly, credit at a very low interest rate. We are amongst the lowest cost interest rate providers in the country. We help merchants through a seamless integration but equally importantly, we help merchants by helping them increase average order size or basket size per customer.

We are today the single largest market share in the fast growing buy now pay later space with about 40%-45% and accelerating market share. We represent 2.5% to 3% and again, accelerating share of the GMV of the top ecommerce merchants in Indonesia. We’re live with four out of the top five and eight out of the top 10 ecommerce merchants in the country on whom we tend to represent at least 50% of their buy now pay later wallet share.

We’ve also made a very major investment in offline in Indonesia, given the very unique characteristics of the country, which is to say that it’s credit light, or credit poor. There’s a very, very valuable use case around launching buy now pay later offerings offline and despite the relative infancy of our offering there, we’ve partnered with Samsung to power their consumer financing program exclusively. And that’s the Samsung financing program in Indonesia.

Moving on to Slide 10, let’s give you a sense of our growth through some numbers. Very recently in the month of May 2021 we hit an annualized revenue run rate of $180 million USD. We’ve been growing at north of 150% for the last three years, even factoring in the COVID-19 slowdown. And this year and next year we expect to still grow at greater than 100%. We are solidly profitable, and we expect to do north of $300 million of revenues next year. We are currently ahead of our target run rate.

In terms of our user base, we’re now north of 3 million. In fact, at nearly 4 million—as per the recent count, which would represent 45%-50% of the credit card user base in Indonesia. This base has been growing really rapidly. It’s actually, grown by about 5X, just over the last two years. Last but not least, we have what is, we believe, the best-in-class LTV CAC ratio in the market where we generate an LTV to CAC which is north of 10X, at about 11X to 12X and we’re recovering customer acquisition cost in right about three and a half months.

Moving on to Slide 11, you will see that we’ve grown very rapidly. It took us only about four and a half years to hit the $100 million annualized revenue run rate. That compares very favorably to some of the global peers that we benchmark ourselves to. Afterpay, which is a company that we track, got there a little bit earlier but that’s also because we slowed down the business very deliberately due to COVID-19. If it wasn’t for that, we would have gotten there in about the same timeframe, three to four years. I’ll just call out that we operate in a significantly smaller ecommerce market, which just gives you a sense of our relative dominance in Indonesia, compared to that of some of our peers in their home countries.

Moving to Slide 12, as a clear market leader, we would really credit four factors as the primary reasons for why we win and why we are the clear leader in the market today. First and foremost, this is a really data intensive business. Indonesia is not an easy market to enter into from a lending or buy now pay later perspective. Credit bureau coverage is poor. Credit bureaus don’t even put out credit scores, so frankly, for anyone to go build out a large lending business, they have to invest in building out their own credit and data stack, and that’s exactly what we’ve done.

A good way to think about Kredivo is that the engine under the hood is really like that of a digital credit bureau, and that’s really what we’ve built. And it’s the quality of that digital credit bureau that now results in credit metrics that are in line with some of the leading credit card portfolios of some of the largest banks in the country, with an on-time repayment rate of nearly 90%. We’ve also invested in an open loop payments model from day one, which is to say that our customers can transact across any ecommerce merchant that we’re integrated into, and that leads to very powerful demand side effects. Which is to say, it leads to high retention and engagement over time across our customer base.

Thirdly, we have a very strong regulatory footing with the right licenses in each one of the markets that we’re operating in and intend to expand into. And last but not least, it’s a very customer centric business. We have what is the highest app rating and even the highest net promoter score of any credit app in the country today, not just a buy now pay later app but any credit app in the country today.

Next slide please. Moving on to Slide 14, let’s spend a few minutes telling you a little bit about what makes Indonesia such a compelling market for a buy now pay later business such as ours. Indonesia is really an outlier when it comes to credit access, even when it’s benchmarked against its own peer group in Asia of Philippines, Vietnam, India. It really stands out as a country with the lowest access to credit cards across its eligible user base.

The reason for that is not that complicated. It really comes down to the fact that credit bureau coverage is quite low. It’s only about 40% of the adult population. Now, that is also overstating the case, simply because the vast majority of customers that exist in the credit bureau are really what we call thin file, which is to say they don’t have enough data for banks to score them which is why banks just choose to reject most credit card applicants in the country. At the same time, this is a country with a really fast-growing ecommerce market.

Moving on to Slide 15, right, you’ll see that in Southeast Asia this is the single largest market. It’s expected to grow at a CAGR of 22% a year over the next five years, resulting in a $70 billion NMV ecommerce opportunity, of which the fastest growing segment over the next few years is expected to be the buy now pay later segment, growing at roughly 3X the growth rate of the underlying ecommerce market. Essentially, going from less than 5% market share to 15%+ over the next five years.

Alongside the buy now pay later opportunity of roughly about $11 billion, there is also a very compelling opportunity to provide personal loans to the customer base, so that these customers can really use these loans to transact offline. Essentially, do an offline buy now pay later equivalent. Across these two segments, we’re really talking about a $22 billion to $25 billion serviceable market in Indonesia alone, which given Indonesia’s very attractive yields for unsecured lending results in a $3.5 billion or so addressable market opportunity.

Moving on to Slide 16, let’s walk you through the total addressable market that we’re actually operating in today, plus what we intend to over the next few years. First of all, before I walk you through the orange circles which represent our growth adjacencies, it’s very important to call out that our core market of Indonesia by itself represents a very attractive, very large opportunity of $3.5 billion. Given our current market share, leadership share in the country, which is accelerating, we believe that we have an incredibly clear path to build a very large business in Indonesia alone.

Now, outside of that, given our ambitions to go build a diversified digital financial services business across Southeast Asia, international expansion in our target markets, you know, allows us to double our addressable market. We’re also very bullish about the neo banking opportunity given the very high, unbanked, and under banked rates among the population in Indonesia. That represents a $2.5 billion to $3 billion opportunity over the next few years. Last but not least, with the licenses that we actually have today, we’re very keen to also tap into the credit card segment. Across our core market and the growth adjacencies, we’re really looking at an addressable revenue pool of $12 billion or so by the year 2025.

Moving on to the next section here, let’s move to Slide 18 please. Let’s walk you through how a customer really perceives and uses Kredivo. Given the poor credit card penetration in Indonesia where only about 8 million individuals out of what is an eligible population of nearly 100 million have access to credit cards, Kredivo has really turned into the preferred stop for the Gen Y and Gen Z when it comes to access to credit. It’s a really simple and attractive product to use. It’s super-fast to apply. It takes less than two minutes to apply and get a decision. It’s really fast to use, and boasts one of the highest settlement rates in the market. Incredibly low cost: We benchmark ourselves against credit card rates and provide what are amongst the lowest interest rates in the country. It’s also widely accessible because of the open loop payments method, and then just very user friendly.

The product feels like a credit card. We offer users a credit line. We don’t approve them loan by loan. We offer them multiple use cases so that very importantly, in terms of term and pricing, it really mirrors a credit card. If you pay back in full in 30 days, we charge you 0% interest. If a customer does an installment of 3, 6, or 12 months, we charge them a 2.6% flat interest rate on ecommerce installments. It comes to an APR on installments of essentially the low 50s and nearly 0 on the 30-day product. Right, so it’s a very attractive product for the Gen Y and the Gen Z in the country.

The way a customer uses Kredivo is—let’s move to Slide 19 please.—this is how the vast majority of our customers interact with Kredivo. This is the use case of the ecommerce check out. On screen one, you as a customer are choosing your product and putting into a shopping cart. On screen two you are choosing Kredivo amongst the payment methods. This is where we show up alongside credit cards, debit cards, and a variety of other options. On screen three you are choosing your payment term.

Once you do that, you login to the account and the account login is a really simple login. Your username is your mobile phone number. There is a six-digit PIN that gets associated with your account when you get approved. Occasionally, we also send a one-time PIN to your mobile phone for a security layer. And once you really put that in, the transaction is done. And this is just one of the simplest, speediest checkouts across the ecommerce space in Indonesia, which is what results in Kredivo having the highest net promoter score amongst all the major buy now pay later peers.

On Slide 20 you’ll see that we also present a very attractive offering to merchants. The vast majority of merchants that we work with claim that Kredivo helps them increase average basket size by more than 2X, transaction frequency by more than 3X, and cart conversion rate by more than 50%. By pretty much any objective metric, we are the preferred buy now pay later product in the country today.

Moving on to Slide 21, this is where we’ve benchmarked us to some of our global peers. Just like Klarna, Afterpay, Affirm, we have quite a few similarities but there’s also a few key differences. It’s very important to call out that, one, we operate in a market which doesn’t really have high quality credit bureau data. Essentially, we’ve had to go build that on our own, right, which is very unique proposition, or a very unique challenge that most of our global peers don’t face in their home markets. And it gives us a very, very large competitive moat.

Number two, we believe that we have a very, very attractive business model: compared to our global peers where an average customer is transacting anywhere from two to eight times a year, the average Kredivo customer is transacting 25 times a year, and at the same time, we’re generating a take rate which is significantly higher than any one of our global peers. It’s a platform that has very strong loyalty built in across our customer base, but also throws up some of the most attractive take rates in the buy now pay later space globally. And my colleague, Dennis will walk you through that during our financial highlights.

Moving on to Slide 22, let’s spend a few minutes walking you through our historical product roadmap. We’ve had a history of very strong and successful cross sells and that really translates into our future growth roadmap. We started about six years ago offering a 30-day payment term, which very soon morphed into instalments as well. Two and a half years ago we launched a personal loan offering on the back of significant customer demand, and that’s turned out to be a very, very successful product in its own right, marketed under the brand name KrediFazz.

More recently, we’ve branched out into offline. It’s off to a slower than expected start because of the COVID-19 impact in Indonesia but we’re very bullish about this. One, because of Indonesia’s own dynamics as primarily an offline retail driven country. But secondly, because of the various use cases that we actually now have across virtual credit cards, the QR code integration into the nationalized QR code standard in Indonesia called QRIS, and last but not least, over time, a full-scale credit card roll out.

We’re also very, very bullish on international expansion. We intend to launch in Vietnam in Q3 of this year and followed in the near future by both Philippines and Thailand. But the one that we’re particularly excited about that I’d like to spend a couple of minutes on is really our potential and proposed entry into neo banking, which will really give us a completely separate and independent growth engine for this business, outside of the Kredivo buy now pay later business.

Moving on to Slide 23, we’ve invested already in acquiring a 24% stake in a local bank in Indonesia by the name of Bank Bisnis. We’ve signed the documentation to go acquire up to 75% in this bank. Which is to say, acquire majority share which will then give us the opportunity or the option to go build a digital banking product in Indonesia as a standalone business unit outside of Kredivo. The reason that we’re incredibly excited about this opportunity is that today with Kredivo, we really only tap into roughly about 20% of the consumer banking revenue pool in Indonesia today. With the other 80% sitting in buckets that we don’t offer or can’t offer through Kredivo today, which is to say home loans, auto loans, and other investment, wealth or other investment or credit products.

With the digital banking license, we really get that opportunity to tap into this 80% revenue stream that we’re not tapping into yet, but secondly, this also is a very synergistic acquisition because it allows us over time to build out a captive loan book and bring down the cost of the loan book for the core Kredivo business itself. We’re very excited about the opportunity. Closing this transaction will give us the option of proceeding with the rest of the bank transaction and building out a digital banking business in Indonesia in the near future.

With that, let me actually hand you over to my colleague, Umang, to walk you through our technology and risk stack. Umang, over to you.

Umang Rustagi

Thanks, Akshay. It’s a pleasure to be here.

If we go to the section on the technology driven flywheel and look at Slide 25. What this really helps us to do is to basically drive deep data insights on our business, which allows us to tap into both the demand side and the supply side flywheel of the business.

On the demand side, the deep data insights help us to do better customer targeting, which allows us to provide better customer experience, helping us acquire more customers. As well as helping us monetize this customer base better which enables us to drive more GMV. On the supply side, these data insights help us to do better risk management, which allows us to basically get access to larger and cheaper funding lines that essentially supports the growth in the GMV. These deep data insights are a result of the deepest data partnerships that we have built in Indonesia, as well as our deep data expertise.

If you look at Slide 26, this gives you an idea about the technology stack or the data stack that we have built in Indonesia, which allows us access to both traditional data that a financial institution will have, as well as digital or alternate data that we actually plug into. Just to give you a few examples of the data partnerships that we have built, to date we work with some government data providers that helps us to basically verify user income in real time, via their tax ID. We also work with some of the largest telcos in Indonesia, where we have actually invested in building a custom credit score. As well as the ecommerce partners who are our partners on the buy now pay later side. We also get access to some of the ecommerce data that helps us to do real time address verification and credit scoring.

These deep data insights are a result of the deep data expertise that we have built. Today, out of our 300+ professional staff, about 200 people are in product, risk, engineering and data science roles that help us to build and scale up our technology stack. Our proprietary credit engine basically creates a very strong competitive moat against our competition and allows us to drive best in class results in terms of risk metrics.

If you move to Slide 27, first of all I would like to highlight that the Kredivo portfolio itself is very robust and low risk, and this is a result of our very high repeat user rate. Today, in any given month, 90% of GMV is actually driven by repeat users, which essentially makes the portfolio very low risk. Evidence of that is basically shown in our on-time repayment rates and our loss rates.

If you look at the on-time repayment rates, we were driving north of 80% on-time repayment rates pre-COVID. Even during COVID, the on-time repayment rates only marginally declined from 82% to 78%. With the investments that we have made in our credit underwriting, fraud management, and collections, we are now achieving close to 90% on-time repayment rates. This puts us in line with basically a credit card or a personal loan portfolio of a top five bank in Indonesia.

If you look at the loss rate, we have consistently been able to bring down the loss rate on the portfolio from 10% in 2017 to now 4% in 2020. For the more recent six months, we are now driving loss rates in the region of 3% to 3.5%. We have been able to reduce loss rates on the portfolio by over three times and that essentially allows us to tap into large and cheap credit lines. Today we work with the local Indonesian banks who provide us with forward flow arrangements, as well as international credit funds such as the likes of VPC, which allows us to support the growth in the GMV of the business.

With that, I’ll hand over to Akshay to go through the unit economics section.

Akshay Garg

Great, thank you. Thank you, Umang.

You might recall that at the beginning of this presentation, I spoke a little bit about our really strong unit economics, starting with LTV CAC and this section is meant to provide you an introduction to that before I hand you over to Dennis for our financial highlights. Our LTV CAC backbone, as we call it in this business, is one of our crown jewels.

Let’s move to Slide 29 and let’s start with our customer acquisition strategy. Kredivo today boasts a very robust, very efficient customer acquisition strategy. Nearly 50% of our customer base comes to us organically: you’ll see that in the pie chart on the left-hand side. What you also see through some of these other charts is that over the last few years, as we’ve scaled up customer acquisition by nearly 6X to 7X on a monthly basis, customer acquisition cost has actually not just stayed stable, but it’s actually come down over time, and that speaks to the efficiency of our customer acquisition engine.

We are by far the lowest cost customer acquisition engine in the market compared to our buy now pay later peers. But additionally, across the customer’s life cycle, when we really think about the overall marketing spend as a share of our total transaction value, we are far lower than our peers, coming in at only about 0.5% of transaction value compared to our peers who are spending 3% to 5% or so.

Moving on to Slide 30, right, this is really the other side of the business, what we call internally here, the demand side slide flywheel. What you really see here is very, very strong trends around increasing dollar retention over time. The right way to look at this chart is both horizontally and vertically. All the data here for each cohort is really normalized, starting with 1X for the 2016 cohort, our earliest cohort. Looking at this vertically, what you’ll see is that over time each new cohort is actually transacting more or spending more on our platform than the previous one. Looking at this horizontally, you’ll see that each cohort is actually spending more over time.

Now, these are incredibly strong trends that go on to show you the powerful network effects of the business across our retention, engagement, and average order value dynamics. At the end points here what you’ll really see is a slight blip, that’s what’s highlighted in orange. This is only due to COVID-19 when we really slowed down our business, switched off (just as an example), our 12-month product, which is also where we see the highest value transactions. That brought down average order values, which is what you actually see here but when we look back at our data since Q4 last year when we started reaccelerating, we are exactly back on trend. You can see that there’s a very, very strong trend line for positive dollar retention built into this business model.

Now, all of this feeds into Slide 31, our LTV CAC framework where when we model out lifetime revenue for any sample cohort, using both historical and very conservatively modeled out projections, right, we’re generating a lifetime value of about $120 USD. This is a result of removing all of the direct costs for any revenue stream: All of the costs of credit, which is the losses, cost of funding the loan book, cost of data partnerships, cost of processing, collections, etc., are all netted out, and that’s how we result in such a large number of about $120, which ends up being about 11X or 12X of the customer acquisition cost. We also fully recover customer acquisition cost in right about three to four months for any sample cohort, which is just a very, very early payback period and makes us just one of the strongest consumer businesses in this part of the world.

With that, let me actually hand you over to Dennis, my colleague, and our CFO to walk you through some of our financial highlights.

Dennis Lerchl

Great, thanks very much, Akshay.

Yes, so before we dive into the financials, let’s spend a minute on our business model.

On the right-hand side of Page 33, you can see our unit economics waterfall. The percentage number shown here are all based on GMV or loan disbursements. In this graph, there are two numbers I’d like to highlight. First, we generated a very attractive take rate of 13% over the last 12 months, with indexes very favorably to our global peers, like Klarna, Affirm, Afterpay and so forth, and that’s despite the fact that we are the lowest cost buy now pay later provider in Indonesia.

Secondly, we have also delivered a very compelling net transaction profit margin of around 5%, which is well ahead of our global peer group. Looking at profit margins, we do see potential to further expand these numbers going forward to around 6% to 7%. As the net transaction loss included here of 4.7% reflects higher than usual COVID related write downs, and so this number should be substantially lower in a normalized environment.

Switching our focus to the left-hand side of the page, so here we’re showing a pie chart with revenue composition by fee type. The important take away here is that 90% of our revenue is really generated from users, while the remaining 10% comes from merchants. Within the user segment, roughly two thirds of revenue is derived from interest, and one third from service fees and to a small extent, also late fees.

We like to think about our business model really as a hybrid between a payment business on the one hand and a credit or financing business on the other hand. Payments, because we offer an interest free 30-day loan, which is a high frequency, low AOV product and drives a lot of our retention and engagement metrics with users. Then on the credit side, we are offering loan installments for which we are charging interest which really drives our monetization.

Moving on to Page 34, so just to give you an update on some of the key operating and financial metrics we are tracking closely. In terms of cumulative users on our platform, we just exceeded the 3.5 million mark in July, which gives you a good indication that we are well on track to meet our yearend target of close to 4 million users in 2021. In fact, we really accelerated the user acquisition in recent months and onboarded between 150,000 to 200,000 users per month in the first half of this year.

In terms of transaction volume, we delivered 130% growth per annum between 2018 and 2020 and are looking to further grow GMV by close to 100% per annum over the next two years. These numbers really need to be seen in context of a very attractive macro backdrop. We are exposed to a high growth ecommerce market, and secondly, we are also seeing rapidly increasing buy now pay later penetration, which is really the key growth driver for our business. Then lastly, in terms of revenue, we are targeting an income stream of $320 million by 2022, while revenue growth is broadly in line with GMV growth.

The only other important comment I’d like to make here on this page is that if you look at our projections for 2021 and 2022, those are mainly driven by our existing business in Indonesia as it is today and for which we see limited execution risk. We have also factored in new initiatives such as geographic market expansion or launching digital banking. However, the financial contribution from these initiatives is fairly small. We are talking about sub 10% in 2022. But obviously, these are very important growth drivers for the business in the midterm, so as we think about the next three to five years.

Moving on to the next page, so Page 35 provides an overview of our key P&L numbers. As already mentioned before, Kredivo is a high growth business. We are targeting ~120% top line growth in 2021, and ~100% next year. We do believe that our two-year projections are fairly conservative and very achievable. We finished May with an annualized revenue run rate of $180 million, which is ahead of our full year target for this year of $163 million. We do feel very comfortable with these projections.

Despite growth, we are also very much focused on profitability. One key metric we are closely tracking is EBITDA pre-provision, which is a good proxy for cash generation, and here we’re looking at cash profitability in 2021 and 2022. Even historically, you will see that our cash burn in the business has been very moderate. We are talking about single digit numbers.

Just one final clarification, the only difference between pre and post COVID in EBITDA is loan loss provision, which is a non-cash expense.

Moving on to Page 37, just to give you a quick update on current trading. In the middle column here we’ve provided May year-to-date actual numbers and on the right-hand side, budget numbers. And as you can see, we have significantly outperformed on both top line as well as bottom line. Revenues came in 20% ahead of plan, which is really a result of continued strong retention and engagement across our user base, while at the same time we accelerated new user acquisition so far this year. But most importantly, we achieved profitability on both a pre and post provision basis, which was primarily driven by strong top line contribution, while at the same time, we were also able to maintain strong cost discipline. Right, and that’s in fact a trend that we do not expect to change over the next couple of months.

These are the key messages I wanted to convey in the financials, and with this, I’ll hand it over back to Gordon.

Yes, thanks Dennis.

On Slide 38, I’ll just summarize here why we’re so excited about this transaction. They are the clear market leader in the buy now pay later sector in Indonesia, which is one of the fastest growing ecommerce markets in the world. They have a clear regulatory moat that will keep competitors out and let them extend their lead as the clear leader in the market.

Also, they have a proprietary data-driven underwriting model that is proven best-in-class. They’re by far the best underwriters in the market. This is not a market where you can rely on a FICO score, so they really do have a competitive edge by having this underwriting engine. You know, we think it’s very important that this is an open loop business model and that you can use it across all different ecommerce players and offline, so it’s really a wallet that can be used anywhere. As you’ve seen already, they have industry leading LTV to CAC metrics and the growth vectors here are clearly durable, so you can see a clear line of sight to continued growth for the next several years.

On Slide 39, we have some comps here. No matter who you comp it against, we’re bringing this at a discount at 6.3 times next year’s revenue, which as you’ve heard from Dennis, they’re already well ahead of their revenue projections for this year, which may lead into next year. If you comp it against the global buy now pay later businesses, your Affirms, Afterpays, etc., we’re bringing it at a significant discount. If you broaden it out to just use high growth fintechs, Square, PayPal, etc., or some smaller players, MoneyLion, SoFi, it’s an even larger discount. Then if you just use the regional players in Southeast Asia also. Obviously on the bottom, if you use a growth adjusted multiple the discount gets even wider.

On Slide 40, you know, we’ve talked about here the industry leading unit economics, but you know, I’ll finish up by just pointing out that to the bottom left which I think is one of the most important metrics in this whole deck. You know, the average customer here uses this almost 25 times a year. It’s really not comparable to other products globally in that customers use this with a very high frequency, which we think will help them as they continue to grow here, as customers are very loyal to the product.

With that, I’m just going to wrap it up and we’re very excited about the transaction. Look forward to discussing it with you further.
