(a) The Parties shall cause the Merger to be consummated at a closing (the “Closing”) to take place remotely through electronic exchange of signatures on a date and at a time to be mutually designated by the Company and Parent, which shall be no later than the second Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver (to the fullest extent permissible under applicable Law) of the last to be satisfied or waived of the conditions set forth in Sections 6 (Conditions Precedent to Obligations of Each Party), 7 (Conditions Precedent to Obligations of Parent and Merger Subs) and 8 (Conditions Precedent to Obligations of the Company), other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 1.3(a), if the Closing would otherwise be required to occur under this Section 1.3(a) during the last 15 days of any fiscal quarter of Parent, then Parent may elect, by delivering a written notice to the Company at least one Business Day prior to the date on which the Closing would otherwise be required to occur, to delay the Closing until the second Business Day of the following fiscal quarter of Parent.

1.5 Merger Consideration.

(a) The aggregate consideration to be paid by Parent for all of the Company Shares and Company Warrants outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be: (i) (A) 128,711,400 shares of Parent Capital Stock (the “Total Stock Consideration”), minus (B) the Total Award Stock Consideration (the “Stock Consideration”), and (ii) 2,893,731 Parent Consideration Warrants collectively exercisable for 2,893,731 shares of Parent Class A Common Stock (the “Warrant Consideration”).

(b) The Stock Consideration shall be comprised entirely of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock (the “Class A Common Payment Shares”); provided, however, that in the event that the Class A Common Payment Shares, when taken together with the number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Assumed Options and the number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock issuable upon the settlement of Assumed RSUs (the “Total Award Stock Consideration”), represent a number of shares equal to more than 19.9% of the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock or more than 19.9% of the voting power of Parent, in each case, as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time (such maximum number of whole shares, the “Parent Common Stock Consideration Cap”), then the Stock Consideration shall be comprised of (i) a number of Class A Common Payment Shares equal to the Parent Common Stock Consideration Cap and (ii) a number of shares of Parent Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Convertible Preferred Payment Shares”) equal to (A) (x) the Total Stock Consideration, minus (y) the Parent Common Stock Consideration Cap, divided by (B) 100.

(c) The Class A Common Payment Shares, the Convertible Preferred Payment Shares and the Parent Consideration Warrants shall be allocated among the Company Shareholders and the Company Warrantholder in accordance with the Final Consideration Spreadsheet.

(d) Each share of Parent Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible into 100 shares of Parent Class A Common Stock, in each case, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation and subject to and contingent upon the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of Parent Class A Common Stock and Parent Class B Common Stock, voting together as a single class, present or duly represented at the Parent Stockholders Meeting (or any other meeting of the stockholders of Parent) to approve the Parent Stockholder Proposals.

1.6 Conversion of Shares.

(a) At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Subs, the Company or any of their respective shareholders:

(i) any Company Shares then held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or held in the Company’s treasury) immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(ii) any Company Shares then held by Parent, Merger Subs or any other Subsidiary of Parent immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(iii) except as provided in subsections “(i)” and “(ii)” of this Section 1.6(a) (Conversion of Shares) and subject to Sections 1.10 (Exchange/Payment) and 1.11 (Dissenters’ Rights), each Company Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (except for Dissenting Shares) shall be cancelled and cease to be an existing and issued Company Share, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, in exchange for the right to receive, without interest, (A) the Per Share Stock Consideration applicable to such series and class of Company Share, as set forth on the Final Consideration Spreadsheet and (B) the Per Share Warrant Consideration applicable to such series and class of Company Share, as set forth on the Final Consideration Spreadsheet;

(iv) each ordinary share, with a nominal or par value of $1.00 per share, of Merger Sub I issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be cancelled and cease to exist in exchange for one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable ordinary share of the First Surviving Company with a nominal or par value of $0.0001, which shall be reflected in the updated register of members of the First Surviving Company. Such ordinary share of the First Surviving Company shall constitute the only issued and outstanding share capital of the First Surviving Company upon the First Effective Time (and immediately prior to the Second Effective Time).

(b) No fractional shares of Parent Class A Common Stock or Parent Convertible Preferred Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued. If the conversion in accordance with this Section 1.6 (Conversion of Shares) would result in the issuance of any fractional share, Parent shall, after aggregating all fractional shares of the same class and series issuable to such holder, round down to the nearest whole share.

(c) In the event that, between the Parent Capitalization Date and the First Effective Time, there occurs any change in the outstanding Company Shares, shares of Parent Common Stock or Parent Warrants, including any changes resulting from, or by reason of, any share dividend, division or subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split (including reverse split), consolidation, combination, readjustment of shares, or exchange of shares or other similar changes, the Equity Award Exchange Ratio, the number of Class A Common Payment Shares, Convertible Preferred Payment Shares and Parent Consideration Warrants shall, to the extent necessary, be equitably adjusted to reflect such change to the extent necessary to provide the holders of Company Shares, Company Options, Company RSUs and Company Warrants with the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such change; provided, however, that nothing herein will be construed to permit the Company or Parent to take any action with respect to Company Shares, Company Options, Company RSUs, Company Warrants, shares of Parent Common Stock or Parent Warrants, respectively, that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.

6

(d) At the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the First Surviving Company, Merger Sub II or their respective shareholders, each ordinary share of the First Surviving Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto and the sole ordinary share of Merger Sub II shall continue to exist as the only issued and outstanding share capital of the Second Surviving Company.

1.7 Treatment of Company Options, Company RSUs and Company Warrants.

(a) Prior to the Closing, to the extent required by the terms of any Company Option, Company RSU or Company Warrant, the Company shall provide proper and timely prior written notice of this Agreement and the Merger to the holders of such Company Option, Company RSU or Company Warrant, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of such Company Option, Company RSU or Company Warrant, as applicable.

(b) Except as set forth in Section 1.7(d), contingent on and effective at the First Effective Time, each outstanding Company Option (whether vested or unvested) that is held by any Continuing Company Service Provider shall, without any further action on the part of such holder, be assumed and become an option (an “Assumed Option”) to purchase a number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock equal to (i) the number of Company Shares subject to each Company Option immediately prior to the First Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the Equity Award Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole share). The exercise price per share of Parent Class A Common Stock of each Assumed Option shall be equal to (x) the exercise price per underlying share of such Company Option, as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, divided by (y) the Equity Award Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent). Each Assumed Option shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercise schedule) as were applicable to the corresponding Company Option immediately prior to the First Effective Time, provided, that (i) the Assumed Options (and the underlying shares of Parent Class A Common Stock) shall cease to be subject to any right of repurchase by any Person or any right of any Person to provide cash in lieu of shares upon the holder’s election to exercise any Assumed Option, (ii) to the extent provided under the terms of the corresponding Company Option, such Assumed Option shall, in accordance with its terms, be subject to further adjustment as appropriate to reflect any share dividend, division or subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split (including reverse split), consolidation, combination, readjustment of shares, or exchange of shares or other similar transaction with respect to Parent Class A Common Stock subsequent to the First Effective Time and (iii) the Parent Board or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Managers (as defined in the Company Equity Plan), Company Board or any committee thereof with respect to each Assumed Option. All rights with respect to Ordinary Shares under the Company Options assumed by Parent shall thereupon be converted into rights with respect to Parent Class A Common Stock in a manner that is intended to satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(D). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.7(b), the conversion of each Company Option (regardless of whether such option qualifies as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) into an option to purchase shares of Parent Class A Common Stock shall be made in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulations Section 1.424-1, such that the conversion of a Company Option shall not constitute a “modification” of such Company Option for purposes of Section 409A or Section 424 of the Code.

(c) Except as set forth in Section 1.7(d), contingent on and effective at the First Effective Time, each outstanding Company RSU that is held by any Continuing Company Service Provider shall, without any further action on the part of such holder, be assumed and become a restricted stock unit (an “Assumed RSU”) with respect to a number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock equal to (i) the number of Company Shares subject to each Company RSU immediately prior to the First Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the Equity Award Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole share). Each Assumed RSU shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including vesting and payment schedule) as were applicable to the corresponding Company RSU immediately prior to the First Effective Time, provided, that (i) the Assumed RSU (and the underlying shares of Parent Class A Common Stock) shall

7

cease to be subject to any right of repurchase by any Person or any right of any Person to provide cash in lieu of shares subsequent to settlement, (ii) to the extent provided under the terms of the corresponding Company RSU, such Assumed RSU shall, in accordance with its terms, be subject to further adjustment as appropriate to reflect any share dividend, division or subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split (including reverse split), consolidation, combination, readjustment of shares, or exchange of shares or other similar transaction with respect to Parent Class A Common Stock subsequent to the First Effective Time and (iii) the Parent Board or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Managers (as defined in the Company Equity Plan), Company Board or any committee thereof with respect to each Assumed RSU.

(d) Contingent on and effective as of the First Effective Time, each Company Option or Company RSU that is held by a Company Service Provider who is not a Continuing Company Service Provider and remains unexercised and outstanding as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be cancelled without payment of any consideration in respect thereof in a manner consistent with the terms of the Company Equity Plan.

(e) Contingent on and effective as of the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Subs, the Company or any Company Warrantholder, each Company Warrant outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be automatically cancelled and cease to be an existing and issued Company Warrant, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, in exchange for the right to receive, without interest and in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect to such Company Warrant, (i) the Per Company Warrant Stock Consideration and (ii) the Per Company Warrant Warrant Consideration. No Company Warrant shall be assumed or continued by Parent or the Company in connection with the Merger or the other Contemplated Transactions.

(f) Prior to the Closing Date, each of Parent and the Company shall take or cause to be taken all actions, obtain all consents and provide all notices that may be required to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.7 (Treatment of Company Options, Company RSUs and Company Warrants) and deliver evidence satisfactory to the other Party that such necessary actions, consents and determinations have been made. The Company shall take all actions necessary to terminate the Company Equity Plan effective as of, and contingent upon the occurrence of, the First Effective Time.

(g) Promptly after the First Effective Time, Parent shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form) with the SEC relating to the shares of Parent Class A Common Stock issuable with respect to each of the Assumed Options and Assumed RSUs in accordance with Section 1.7(a), and Parent shall maintain such registration statement for so long as any Assumed Options or Assumed RSUs remain outstanding.

1.8 Further Action. If, at any time after the First Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Second Surviving Company with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Merger Subs and the Company, the officers and directors of the Second Surviving Company and Parent shall take such action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

1.9 Closing of the Company’s Share Register. At the First Effective Time: (a) all Company Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist in accordance with Section 1.6 (Conversion of Shares) and (b) the register of members of the Company shall be closed with respect to all Company Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time. No further transfer of any such Company Shares shall be made on such register of members after the First Effective Time (save for recording that Parent is the sole shareholder of the First Surviving Company pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(iv) (Conversion of Shares)).

8

1.10 Exchange/Payment.

(a) Prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall select a reputable bank or trust company to act as exchange agent in the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”). No later than the Closing Date, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent (i) evidence of book-entry shares representing the shares of Parent Class A Common Stock and Parent Convertible Preferred Stock and the Parent Consideration Warrants issuable and deliverable pursuant to Section 1.6 (Conversion of Shares) and Section 1.7(e) (Treatment of Company Options, Company RSUs and Company Warrants) and (ii) cash sufficient to make the payments, if any, in respect of Company Shares held by Non-Accredited Investors pursuant to Section 1.6 (Conversion of Shares) and Section 1.7(e) (Treatment of Company Options, Company RSUs and Company Warrants) (collectively, the “Exchange Fund”). In the event the Exchange Fund is insufficient to make all of the payments contemplated by Section 1.6 (Conversion of Shares) and Section 1.7(e) (Treatment of Company Options, Company RSUs and Company Warrants), Parent shall promptly deposit additional evidence of book-entry shares representing the shares of Parent Class A Common Stock and Parent Convertible Preferred Stock and the Parent Consideration Warrants or deposit additional cash, in each case, as applicable and necessary to make all of the payments contemplated by Section 1.6 (Conversion of Shares) and Section 1.7(e) (Treatment of Company Options, Company RSUs and Company Warrants). Parent shall cause the Exchange Fund to be (i) held for the benefit of the Company Shareholders and the Company Warrantholder entitled to payments pursuant Section 1.6 (Conversion of Shares) and Section 1.7(e) (Treatment of Company Options, Company RSUs and Company Warrants) and (ii) applied promptly to making the payments pursuant to Section 1.6 (Conversion of Shares) and Section 1.7(e) (Treatment of Company Options, Company RSUs and Company Warrants). The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than to fund payments of the Per Share Stock Consideration, Per Share Warrant Consideration, Per Company Warrant Stock Consideration and Per Company Warrant Warrant Consideration pursuant to Section 1.6 (Conversion of Shares) and Section 1.7(e) (Treatment of Company Options, Company RSUs and Company Warrants).

(b) Promptly after the date hereof, the Exchange Agent shall mail to the holders of Company Shares and Company Warrants outstanding as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time a letter of transmittal in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (a “Letter of Transmittal”). Upon the later of (i) the First Effective Time or (ii) the delivery of a completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal to the Exchange Agent by a holder of Company Shares outstanding as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, such holder shall be entitled to receive, in exchange therefor, the portion of the Stock Consideration issuable or payable to such holder in respect of each such Company Share, in accordance with Section 1.6 (Conversion of Shares), as set forth on the Final Consideration Spreadsheet.

(c) At any time following the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent shall be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to Parent any funds and any shares of Parent Class A Common Stock and Parent Convertible Preferred Stock and the Parent Consideration Warrants from the Exchange Fund in respect of the Stock Consideration and Warrant Consideration that have not been disbursed to Company Shareholders or the Company Warrantholder, as applicable, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar applicable Law) as general creditors thereof with respect to any Stock Consideration or Warrant Consideration that may be issuable, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, without any interest thereon.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, none of the Parties hereto, the Second Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person for any shares of Parent Capital Stock and any Parent Consideration Warrants delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

9

1.11 Dissenters’ Rights.

encourage or initiate, enter into any Contract, or knowingly encourage the submission of any proposal or offer from any Person relating to the direct or indirect acquisition of any Company Shares or other equity securities of the Company or any material portion of the assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries, whether in an acquisition structured as a merger, consolidation, exchange, sale of assets, sale of shares or other equity interests, or otherwise (any such proposal, offer or transaction, a “Company Acquisition”), or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, furnishing any information with respect to, assisting or participating in, or knowingly facilitating in any other manner any effort or attempt by any Person to do or seek any of the foregoing; provided that no transaction that is permitted under Section 4.2 (Conduct of the Business of the Company) shall be considered a “Company Acquisition”. The Company shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, immediately (i) cease and cause to be terminated any discussions, negotiations and communications with any Person (other than Parent and Merger Subs) that relate to any Company Acquisition and promptly request the destruction or return of any nonpublic information of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries provided to such Person; (ii) request each Person that has received confidential information from any of the Company or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives at any time during the past 12 months pursuant to a confidentiality or similar agreement in connection with such Person’s consideration of a possible Company Acquisition or investment in the Company or its Affiliates to return or destroy all confidential information previously furnished to such Person by or on behalf of any of the Company or its Subsidiaries; and (iii) prohibit any Third Party from having access to any physical or electronic data room relating to any possible Company Acquisition. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions of this Agreement, the Company Board may consider and participate in negotiations with respect to an unsolicited proposal or offer relating to a Company Acquisition that did not, directly or indirectly, result from any breach of this Section 4.4(a) (Exclusivity) where the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that a failure to take such action with respect to such offer or proposal as applicable, would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided that the Company shall promptly (and in any event within two Business Days) (a) notify Parent if any inquiry, proposal or offer with respect to a Company Acquisition, or any inquiry, proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to a Change in Recommendation, is received by the Company or any of its Representatives, including the identity of the Person or group of Persons making such inquiry, proposal or offer, (b) keep Parent reasonably informed of any material developments, discussions or negotiations regarding such inquiry, proposal or offer (including any changes to the terms thereof) and any Change in Recommendation with respect thereto and (c) upon the request of Parent, reasonably inform Parent of the status of such inquiry, proposal or offer or a Change in Recommendation with respect thereto.

If any state takeover statute or similar Law shall become applicable to the Contemplated Transactions or any Ancillary Agreements, each of the Company and Parent and their respective boards of directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are reasonably necessary so that the Contemplated Transactions or thereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby or thereby and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on the Contemplated Transactions.

5.1 Company Shareholder Matters; Required Company Shareholder Vote.

(a) Promptly after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall seek to obtain the approval of the Company Shareholders as required by the Company Organizational Documents and the CICA, pursuant to which approval each such Company Shareholder shall (i) adopt this Agreement, the First Plan of Merger and the Contemplated Transactions; (ii) approve the First Merger and the First Plan of Merger and acknowledge that the approval given thereby is irrevocable; and (iii) provide any other consents or waivers required by the Company Organizational Documents, to consummate this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions (including the Preferred Consent) (such matters described in clauses (i) through (iii), the “Company Shareholder Matters”).

(b) Promptly after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and in any event no later than one Business Day thereafter, the Company shall prepare, in consultation with and subject to the advance review and reasonable approval of Parent, and cause to be delivered to the Company Shareholders a notice of general meeting and proxy (the “Notice of Meeting”) for the purpose of, among other things, obtaining the approval of the Company Shareholders for the Company Shareholder Matters (including the Required Company Shareholder Vote for the First Plan of Merger) at a general meeting of the shareholders to be called and held in accordance with the Company Organizational Documents and the CICA (the “Company Shareholder Meeting”). The Company shall: (i) take all action necessary under all applicable Law to call, give such notice of and hold the Company Shareholder Meeting to vote on the Company Shareholder Matters; and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies in favor of the Company Shareholder Matters from the Company Shareholders at the Company Shareholder Meeting, and shall not submit any other proposal to the Company Shareholders in connection with the Company Shareholder Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent. The Company shall ensure that all proxies solicited in connection with the Company Shareholder Meeting are solicited in compliance with all applicable Laws. The Company, in consultation with Parent, shall set a record date for Persons entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Company Shareholder Meeting and shall not change such record date without the prior written consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld if such change is required by any Law.

57

Each of Parent and the Company agree to provide promptly to the other such information concerning its business and financial statements and affairs as, in the reasonable judgment of the providing Party or its counsel, may be required or appropriate for inclusion in the Notice of Meeting, or in any amendments or supplements thereto, and to cause its counsel and auditors to cooperate with the other’s counsel and auditors in the preparation of the Notice of Meeting. The Company shall not include in the Notice of Meeting any information with respect to Parent or its Affiliates without providing Parent with the opportunity to review such information and giving good faith consideration to any comments provided by Parent regarding such information. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, if the Company Board receives an unsolicited proposal or offer relating to a Company Acquisition and the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that a failure to make a Change in Recommendation would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and the Company has otherwise complied with its obligations under Section 4.4, then the Company Board may withhold, withdraw, modify or qualify, or proposal to withhold, withdraw, modify or qualify, the Company Board Recommendation to the extent required to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law (a “Change in Recommendation”).

(c) The Company covenants and agrees that the Notice of Meeting will not, at the time that the Notice of Meeting (or any amendment or supplement thereto) is first delivered to the Company Shareholders, at the time of receipt of approval of the Company Shareholder Matters at the Company Shareholder Meeting and at the First Effective Time, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that no covenant or agreement is made with respect to information regarding Parent provided by Parent for inclusion in the Notice of Meeting.

(d) If applicable, the Company shall (i) use reasonable best efforts to secure from any Person who is a “disqualified individual”, as defined in Section 280G of the Code, and who has a right to any payments or benefits or potential right to any payments or benefits in connection with the consummation of the Merger that would be deemed to constitute “parachute payments” pursuant to Section 280G of the Code, a waiver of such Person’s rights to any such payments or benefits applicable to such Person to the extent that all remaining payments or benefits applicable to such Person shall not be deemed to be “parachute payments” pursuant to Section 280G of the Code (the “Waived 280G Benefits”) and (ii) submit for approval by the Company Shareholders the Waived 280G Benefits, to the extent and in the manner required under Sections 280G(b)(5)(A)(ii) and 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code. The Company shall not pay any of the Waived 280G Benefits if such payment is not approved by the Company Shareholders as contemplated above. If applicable, prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent that a vote of the Company Shareholders was received in conformance with Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder, or that such requisite shareholder approval has not been obtained with respect to the Waived 280G Benefits, and, as a consequence, the Waived 280G Benefits have not been and shall not be made or provided. At least three Business Days before taking such actions, the Company shall deliver to Parent for review and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of any documents or agreements necessary to effect this Section 5.1(d) including any calculations prepared by the Company or its advisors to determine that shareholder approval would be required, disclosure statement and waiver.

5.2 Private Placement; Restrictions.

(a) Each of the Company and Parent shall take all reasonably necessary action on its part such that the issuance of the Class A Common Payment Shares, the Convertible Preferred Payment Shares and the Parent Consideration Warrants pursuant to this Agreement constitutes a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act in compliance with Rule 506 of Regulation D. Each certificate

58

representing Class A Common Payment Shares, the Convertible Preferred Payment Shares and the Parent Consideration Warrants shall, until such time that such securities are not so restricted under the Securities Act, bear a legend identical or similar in effect to the following legend (together with any other legend or legends required by applicable state securities applicable Law or otherwise, if any):

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”) AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR UNLESS AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT IS AVAILABLE.”

(b) In order to ensure that no shares of Parent Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Parent Consideration Warrants count against the Parent Common Stock Consideration Cap, the Parent Consideration Warrants shall be issued only in book entry form and shall be subject to such legends and/or other restrictions in the transfer agent’s records as may be necessary to ensure that no Parent Consideration Warrant may be exercised, transferred or otherwise accessed by the holder thereof unless and until such time, if any, as the Parent Stockholder Proposals have been approved by the Required Parent Stockholder Vote. Promptly after approval of the Parent Stockholder Proposals by Parent’s stockholders, Parent shall take such action as may be necessary to cause all of the Parent Consideration Warrants to be released from such restrictions.

(c) Parent shall file with the SEC, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Second Effective Time, a Registration Statement for use by Parent, with respect to (i) the shares of Parent Class A Common Stock, (ii) shares of Parent Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Parent Convertible Preferred Stock, (iii) the Parent Consideration Warrants and (iv) the shares of Parent Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Parent Consideration Warrants, in each case, issued to the Company Shareholders and Company Warrantholder, as applicable, in connection with the First Merger, to the extent necessary to register such securities for resale under the Securities Act. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but in no event later than ten Business Days after the SEC notifies Parent (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) that it will not review, or has completed its review of, the Registration Statement and (ii) keep the Registration Statement effective until all shares covered thereby and thereunder have been sold or are eligible for resale without restriction under Rule 144.

(d) Parent shall be entitled to place appropriate legends, including the legend noted in Section 5.2(a) (Private Placement; Restrictions), on the book entries or certificates evidencing any shares of Parent Class A Common Stock or Parent Convertible Preferred Stock or Parent Consideration Warrants to be received in the Merger by Company Shareholders who may be considered “affiliates” of Parent for purposes of Rules 144 and 145 under the Securities Act reflecting the restrictions set forth in Rules 144 and 145.

5.3 Parent Stockholders Meeting.

(a) As promptly as practicable following the Second Effective Time, Parent shall take all action necessary under applicable Law and the Organizational Documents of Parent to call, give notice of and hold a special meeting of the holders of Parent Capital Stock (the “Parent Stockholders Meeting”) for the purpose of seeking approval from such holders of (i) for the purpose of the rules of the NYSE, the issuance of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock to the holders of shares of Parent Convertible Preferred Stock upon the conversion thereof in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designation and (ii) the release of any restrictions on the Parent Consideration Warrants as set forth in and pursuant to Section 5.2(b) (such matters described in clauses (i) and (ii), the “Parent Stockholder Proposals”).

59

(b) If approval of the Parent Stockholder Proposals is not obtained at the Parent Stockholders Meeting or if on a date preceding the Parent Stockholders Meeting, Parent reasonably believes that (i) it will not receive proxies sufficient to obtain the Required Parent Stockholder Vote, whether or not quorum would be present or (ii) it will not have sufficient shares of Parent Capital Stock represented (whether in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Parent Stockholders Meeting, then, in each case, Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to adjourn the Parent Stockholders Meeting one or more times to a date or dates no more than 30 days after the scheduled date for such initial meeting and to obtain such approval at such time. If the Parent Stockholders Meeting is not so adjourned, or if the approval of the Parent Stockholder Proposals is not then obtained, Parent will continue to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such approvals as soon as practicable thereafter, including submitting the Parent Stockholder Proposals to Parent’s stockholders for approval at each annual and special meeting of Parent’s stockholders following the Closing Date until the Parent Stockholder Proposals is duly approved.

(c) Except as required by applicable Law, until the Parent Stockholder Proposals is duly approved, the Parent Board shall recommend that the holders of Parent Capital Stock vote to approve the Parent Stockholder Proposals and shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit and obtain approval of the Parent Stockholder Proposals, and the proxy statement shall include a statement to the effect that the Parent Board recommends that Parent’s stockholders vote to approve the Parent Stockholder Proposals. The Company and Parent acknowledge that, under the NYSE Rules, the Class A Common Payment Shares will not be entitled to vote on the Parent Stockholder Proposals.

5.4 Reservation of Parent Class A Common Stock.

(a) For as long as any Convertible Preferred Payment Shares or Parent Consideration Warrants remain outstanding, Parent shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Parent Class A Common Stock or shares of Parent Class A Common Stock held in treasury by Parent, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Convertible Preferred Payment Shares or the exercise of the Parent Consideration Warrants, the full number of shares of Parent Class A Common Stock then issuable upon the conversion of all Convertible Preferred Payment Shares then outstanding and upon the exercise of the Parent Consideration Warrants. All shares of Parent Class A Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Payment Shares and upon the exercise of the Parent Consideration Warrants shall be newly issued shares or shares held in treasury by Parent, shall have been duly authorized and validly issued and shall be fully paid and nonassessable, and shall be free from preemptive rights and free of any Liens.

5.5 Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company and Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to consummate and make effective the Contemplated Transactions as promptly as practicable, including notifying the other of any communication, inquiry, or investigation received from or initiated by a Governmental Body and using reasonable best efforts to cooperate in responding to any such inquiries, investigations, or requests.

(b) Prior to Closing, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain all consents and waivers with respect to the Contracts set forth on Schedule 5.5(b).

(c) Prior to Closing, the Company shall send all notices required under the Contracts set forth on Schedule 5.5(c).

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall purchase an extended reporting period endorsement (the “Tail D&O Policy”) under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the Company’s and its Subsidiaries directors and officers on terms reasonably acceptable to Parent that shall provide such directors and officers with coverage for six years following the First Effective Time that provides at least the same coverage in scope and amount as the existing coverage and have other terms not materially less favorable in the aggregate to the insured persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage presently maintained by the Company and any premiums with respect to such Tail D&O Policy shall be paid by Parent; provided, however, that in no event shall Parent be required to expend in any one year an amount in excess of 200% of the annual premium currently payable by the Company with respect to such presently maintained policies, it being understood that if the annual premiums payable for such insurance coverage exceeds such amount, the Second Surviving Company shall obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost equal to such amount. After the Second Effective Time, Parent shall and shall cause the Second Surviving Company to maintain such policy in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

(c) In the event that Parent, the Company or the Second Surviving Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving Entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent shall ensure that the successors and assigns of Parent, the Company or the Second Surviving Company, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.6 (Indemnification of Officers and Directors).

(d) The provisions of this Section 5.6 (Indemnification of Officers and Directors) shall survive the consummation of the Merger and are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Persons and their successors, assigns and heirs and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such D&O Indemnified Person may have by contract or otherwise. This Section 5.6 (Indemnification of Officers and Directors) may not be amended, altered or repealed after the Second Effective Time without the prior written consent of the affected D&O Indemnified Person.

5.7 Disclosure. The initial press release relating to this Agreement shall be a joint press release issued by the Company and Parent and thereafter Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any further press release(s) or otherwise making any public statement or making any announcement to Company Service Providers (to the extent not previously issued or made in accordance with this Agreement) with respect to the Merger, this Agreement or any of the Contemplated Transactions

Notwithstanding the foregoing: (a) each Party may, without such consultation or consent, make any public statement in response to questions from the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences, and make internal announcements to employees, so long as such statements are consistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made jointly by the Parties (or individually, if approved by the other Party), and (b) a Party may, without the prior consent of the other Party but subject to giving advance notice to the other Party (to the extent practical) and giving due consideration to comments from the other Party, issue any such press release or make any such public announcement or statement as may be required by Law.

5.8 Tax Matters.

(a) For United States federal income Tax purposes, the Parties intend that (i) the First Merger and the Second Merger, taken together, constitute an integrated transaction that qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (the “Intended Tax Treatment”) and (ii) this Agreement will constitute, and is hereby adopted as, a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code and Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a), to which Parent, Merger Subs and the Company are parties under Section 368(b) of the Code. The Parties shall and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to cause the First Merger and the Second Merger, taken together, to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment and shall not take or cause any of their respective Affiliates to take any action that would reasonably be expected to prevent the First Merger and the Second Merger, taken together, from qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment. The Parties shall treat, and shall not take any tax reporting position (including during the course of any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes) inconsistent with, the Intended Tax Treatment for U.S. federal, state and other relevant Tax purposes, unless otherwise required to do so pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

(b) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to deliver to Company Tax Counsel, a representation letter dated as of the Closing Date and signed by an officer of the Company, containing customary representations of the Company, and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to deliver to Company Tax Counsel a representation letter dated as of the Closing Date and signed by an officer of Parent containing customary representations of Parent, in each case, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O (the “Company Tax Representation Letter”) and Exhibit P (the “Parent Tax Representation Letter”), respectively.

(c) All sales, use, value added, transfer, stamp, registration, documentary, conveyance, recording, excise, real property transfer or gains, or similar Taxes incurred as a result of the Contemplated Transactions (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne by the Company. Transfer Taxes shall not include any Taxes imposed on the Participating Shareholders by any PRC taxing authority under Announcement 7, which shall be governed exclusively the Letter of Transmittal.

(d)

(i) Subject to Section 5.8(d)(ii) and Section 5.8(d)(iii), Parent shall not (1) cause or permit any action (including the filing of any Tax election) that would reasonably be expected to cause Merger Sub II to be treated as liquidating for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (2) cause or permit any action or transaction (including the filing of any Tax election) that would reasonably be expected to cause the Second Surviving Company to be treated as liquidating for US federal income tax purposes within the two (2) years following the Merger or otherwise as part of a plan with the Mergers, or (3) otherwise take any action that would reasonably be expected to cause Section 367(b) of the Code to apply to the Company Shareholders holding Company Shares immediately prior to the First Effective Time, in each case without the prior written consent of such holders.

62

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (i) or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent shall be permitted, subject to and in accordance with this Section 5.8(d)(ii) and Section 5.8(d)(iii), to make, or cause to be made, an election on IRS Form 8832 (Entity Classification Election), effective as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, to treat Merger Sub II as an entity that is disregarded from Parent for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (an “Entity Classification Election”) if (and only if) Parent agrees (in its sole discretion) to pay or set aside for payment as additional consideration to each Company Shareholder that is required to recognize income under Section 367(b) as a result of the Mergers (the “Relevant Holders”), an aggregate amount of cash, determined in accordance with Section 5.8(d)(iii), in respect of the U.S. federal and state income Taxes on such income of each such Relevant Holder (the “Aggregate Reimbursement Amount”); provided, that for purposes of determining the Aggregate Reimbursement Amount, each Relevant Holder will be treated as having made a valid election under Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-3(c)(3) to include in income the “all earnings and profits amount” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2(d)) with respect to its Company Shares (such election, the “All E&P Amount Election”). If the Entity Classification Election is made, (1) within ten (10) Days of the Closing Date, Parent shall provide notice to the Relevant Holders that Parent has made (or intends to make) the Entity Classification Election, (2) Parent shall cause the Second Surviving Company to promptly provide any information reasonably requested by a Relevant Holder in order to make the All E&P Amount Election and file the notice described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(b)-1(c) in connection with the Mergers, and (3) within thirty (30) days following the Closing, Parent shall pay, or cause to paid, the Aggregate Reimbursement Amount to the Relevant Holders on a pro rata basis in accordance with their relative percentage ownership of the Company. If the Entity Classification Election is not made, then the Intended Tax Treatment shall be deemed to refer to Section 368(a)(2)(D) of the Code for all purposes of this Agreement.

(iii) During the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the later of April 2, 2024 and the date that is two (2) Business Days after the conditions set forth in Sections 6, 7, and 8 have been satisfied or waived (such period, the “Determination Period”), Parent and the Company will, and will use reasonable best efforts to cause their Representatives to, cooperate reasonably and in good faith to determine the estimated amount of current and accumulated earnings and profits of the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes (the “Company E&P Amount”). If there is any disagreement about the Company E&P Amount that cannot be resolved in accordance with the preceding sentence, then the Company’s determination of the Company E&P Amount shall be determinative. The Aggregate Reimbursement Amount shall be the product of (1) the Company E&P Amount, (2) the aggregate percentage ownership of the Company held by the Relevant Holders, and (3) seventy percent (70%). For the avoidance of doubt, the determination of the Company E&P Amount pursuant to this Section 5.8(d)(iii) and Parent’s determination of whether to make the Entity Classification Election in accordance with Section 5.8(d)(ii) must be made by the end of the Determination Period, after which period Parent shall not be entitled to make the Entity Classification Election, except in accordance with Section 5.8(d)(i).

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, none of Parent, Merger Subs, or the Company and its Subsidiaries makes any representations or warranties to any securityholder of Parent or the Company regarding the Tax treatment of the Merger, or any of the Tax consequences to any securityholder of Parent or the Company of this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions or agreements contemplated hereby.

63

(a) During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall promptly notify Parent of, and furnish Parent with any information it may reasonably request in writing with respect to, the occurrence of any event or condition or the existence of any fact that may reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions to the obligations of Parent to consummate the Merger set forth in Section 7 (Conditions Precedent to Obligations of Parent and Merger Subs) not to be satisfied (including any breaches of inaccuracies of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 (Representations and Warranties of the Company)).

(b) During the Pre-Closing Period, Parent shall promptly notify the Company of, and furnish the Company with any information it may reasonably request in writing with respect to, the occurrence of any event or condition or the existence of any fact that may reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions to the obligations of the Company to consummate the Merger set forth in Section 8 (Conditions Precedent to Obligations of the Company) not to be satisfied (including any breaches of inaccuracies of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3 (Representations and Warranties of Parent and Merger Subs)). Parent’s satisfaction of its obligations in the foregoing sentence shall not be deemed to modify any representation, warranty, covenant, right or remedy, or relieve Parent of any of its other obligations, under this Agreement.

Each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any right to trial by jury of any claim, demand, action, or cause of action (i) arising under this Agreement or (ii) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the Parties in respect of this Agreement or any of the transactions related hereto, in each case, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity, or otherwise. Each Party hereby further agrees and consents that any such claim, demand, action, or cause of action shall be decided by court trial without a jury and that the Parties may file a copy of this Agreement with any court as written evidence of the consent of the Parties to the waiver of their right to trial by jury.
