| Board of Directors / General Meeting: Administrative Board; New Spark Managing Directors | | |||
| The Spark Board, which is elected by Spark Stockholders, manages the business of Spark and is empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts that may be exercised or done by Spark, except as provided by law, the Spark Charter or the Spark Bylaws. | | | New Spark has a one-tier management and administrative system. The governing bodies of New Spark are the Administrative Board and the general meeting of stockholders (the “General Meeting”). The General Meeting only passes resolutions on those cases stipulated by law or the New Spark Articles. Among other things, it elects the members of the Administrative Board. The Administrative Board directs New Spark, establishes the general principles of its business and supervises their implementation. The New Spark Managing Directors are appointed by the Administrative Board. They manage New Spark by implementing the principles and guidelines established by the Administrative Board and in compliance with its instructions. | |
| Authorized Capital/Outstanding Stock | | |||
| Spark has an authorized share capital of 110,000,000 shares, of which 100,000,000 shares are common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares are preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 per share (“Preferred Stock”). | | | As of the consummation of the Business Combination, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, the share capital of New Spark will amount to up to €1,317,378 (depending on the ultimate number of shares issued in connection with the Business Combination) and be divided into up to 1,317,378 (depending on the ultimate number of shares issued in connection with the Business Combination) registered no-par value shares. As of | |
|
SPARK
|
| |
NEW SPARK
|
|
| | | | the date hereof, the share capital of New Spark amounts to €120,000.00 and is divided into 120,000 registered no-par value shares. | |
|
Under the Spark Charter, the Spark Board has the authority to issue shares of common stock from time to time and to issue one or more series of Preferred Stock with designations, powers and preferences, and relative, participating, optional or other rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. Spark may reissue shares of common stock or Preferred Stock that are redeemed, purchased, or otherwise acquired by Spark unless otherwise provided by law.
Spark’s common stock is listed on the NYSE American.
|
| |
The Administrative Board is authorized to increase New Spark’s share capital on one or more occasions on or before October 31, 2022, by not more than in total €658,689, in return for contributions in cash and/or in kind, by issuing new registered no-par value shares (authorized capital). The Administrative Board is authorized to define the further content of the stockholder rights and the terms and conditions for any new stock issuance. Further details in this regard are set out in the New Spark Articles.
Following the closing of the Business Combination, the New Spark ADSs are expected to be listed on the NYSE American.
|
|
| Board Committees | | | ||
|
The Spark Board may designate committees from among its members. To the extent permitted by law, each committee may exercise the powers of the Spark Board to the extent provided in the resolution of the Spark Board.
Spark currently has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating Committee.
|
| |
The Administrative Board may establish committees from among its members and, to the extent permitted by law, assign to the committees the responsibility to take decisions in place of the Administrative Board as a whole. Each committee shall have at least three members. The committee members shall be appointed for the period of office as a member of the Administrative Board.
New Spark expects to have a Presiding and Nominating Committee and an Audit Committee.
|
|
| Voting | | | ||
| The Spark Stockholders collectively possess all voting power and each Spark Share has one vote. Each Spark Stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held of record entitled to vote. At any meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present, all matters, except as otherwise provided by the Spark Charter, Spark Bylaws or by law, shall be decided by the vote of a majority in voting interest of the stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereat and thereon. Under the DGCL, in general, the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting power of Spark entitled to vote on the matter is required to approve mergers and consolidations involving the incorporation (with certain exceptions), or the dissolution of Spark and the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the assets of Spark. | | |
The holders of New Spark Ordinary Shares may exercise their voting rights only in the General Meeting. One vote is afforded to each New Spark Ordinary Share.
Except as otherwise provided by mandatory provisions of statute or the New Spark Articles, resolutions of the General Meeting shall be adopted by simple majority of the votes cast and, if statutory law stipulates a capital majority besides the majority of votes, by simple majority of the share capital represented at the resolution. If not provided otherwise by mandatory provisions of statute, pursuant to the New Spark Articles, for amendments of the New Spark Articles a simple majority of votes cast suffices if at least half of the share capital is represented. If such quorum is not met, resolutions of the General Meeting regarding the amendment of the New Spark Articles require a majority of two thirds of the votes cast, unless statutory law provides for a higher majority.

|
| Dividends | | | ||
|
Under the DGCL, Spark may generally declare and pay a dividend out of its surplus, which consists of the excess of its net assets (i.e., its total assets minus its total liabilities) over its capital (i.e., the aggregate par value of issued shares or a greater amount as determined by a resolution of the Spark Board). If there is no such surplus, Spark may also declare and pay a dividend out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. However, a distribution out of net profits is not permitted if Spark’s capital is less than the aggregate amount of capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets, until the deficiency has been repaired.
Subject to the preferences applicable to Preferred Stock outstanding at any time, holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Spark Board out of assets or funds legally available for dividend payments.
|
| |
The General Meeting decides on the use of the accumulated retained earnings for each financial year according to New Spark’s annual financial statements as approved by the Administrative Board. In particular, the General Meeting may resolve to distribute a dividend per no-par value share out of the accumulated retained earnings. The General Meeting may resolve to make distributions in kind, in lieu of or in addition to cash distributions.
After expiration of a financial year, the Administrative Board may, in accordance with the requirements of Section 59 of the German Stock Corporation Act, pay to the stockholders an installment of the expected accumulated retained earnings.
|
|
| Purchase of Shares | | | ||
| Under the DGCL, Spark may generally redeem or repurchase its shares out of its surplus, which consists of the excess of its net assets (i.e., its total assets minus its total liabilities) over its capital (i.e., the aggregate par value of issued shares or a greater amount as determined by a resolution of the Spark Board). If there is no such surplus, Spark may also redeem or repurchase out of capital any of its own shares that are entitled to a preference over another class of shares of stock in the event of a distribution of assets (whether by dividend or liquidation), or, if there is no stock outstanding entitled to such a preference, any of its own shares, in either case if such shares will be retired upon their acquisition and the capital of Spark reduced in accordance with the DGCL. | | | According to Section 71 of the German Stock Corporation Act, New Spark may acquire its own shares in particular, but not limited to, on the basis of an authorization by the General Meeting which may be granted for a maximum period of five years. The authorization must stipulate the lowest and the highest equivalent value for the shares as well as the maximum amount of the share capital up to which New Spark may acquire its own shares. Such amount, together with the shares already owned by New Spark, is limited to 10% of the share capital. Further details are set out in Section 71 of the German Stock Corporation Act. | |
| Reserves | | | ||
| The Spark Board can set reserves at will. | | |
According to Section 150 of the German Stock Corporation Act, New Spark must establish statutory reserves (
gesetzliche Rücklage
) in the amount of 10% of the share capital. Capital reserves (
Kapitalrücklagen
) built up in accordance with the provisions of Section 272 para. 2 no. 1 to 3 of the German Commercial Code (
HGB
) count towards this threshold.
The statutory reserves and the abovementioned
|
|
|
SPARK
|
| |
NEW SPARK
|
|
| | | |
capital reserves may only be used for restricted purposes as set out in Section 150 of the German Stock Corporation Act. Voluntarily built up capital reserves within the meaning of Section 272 para. 2 no.4 HGB are not subject to such restrictions.
Other revenue reserves (
andere Gewinnrücklagen
) to which such restrictions do not apply can be established as follows:
If the Administrative Board approves the annual financial statements, then it may appropriate the annual profit for the year to other revenue reserves in whole or in part. The appropriation of more than half of the annual profit for the year is not admissible, however, if the other revenue reserves exceed half of the share capital or insofar as they would exceed half of the share capital following such appropriation. Those amounts which have to be appropriated to the statutory reserve and any accumulated deficit brought forward from the prior year have to be deducted from the annual profit for the year in advance.
Additionally, the General Meeting may resolve to allocate amounts out of the accumulated retained earnings to other revenue reserves when deciding on the use of the accumulated retained earnings.
|
|
| Appraisal/Dissenters’ Rights | | | ||
|
Under Delaware Law, if Spark participates in certain mergers or consolidations, a Spark Stockholder, may, in various circumstances, be entitled to the right of appraisal, by which the stockholder, after properly exercising such appraisal rights, will be entitled to receive in cash the fair market value of the shares held by such stockholder as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery, in lieu of the consideration that would otherwise be received as a result of the Business Combination.
Under the DGCL, appraisal is not available with respect to shares that are listed on a national securities exchange or that are held by more than 2,000 stockholders of record. However, this exception does not apply if the holders of such shares are required by the terms of the Business Combination to accept for such shares anything other than shares of the surviving corporation, shares of any other corporation that would satisfy the exception’s listing or liquidity standards, cash in lieu of fractional shares or any combination of the preceding forms of consideration.
|
| |
In case of certain structural measures involving New Spark (in particular, but not limited to, certain cases of a merger or spin-off involving New Spark as transferring entity under the German Transformation Act (
UmwG
), the conclusion of a domination and/or profit and loss transfer agreement with New Spark as dependent entity or the relocation of New Spark’s registered seat to another member state of the European Union), stockholders may be entitled to receive an adequate compensation in cash or in shares of another entity. The adequacy of the compensation may be reviewed by court upon motion of one or more stockholders in a special appraisal proceeding; the court may also determine a higher compensation.
Apart from that, each stockholder of New Spark may challenge the validity of any General Meeting’s resolution provided that such resolution violates statutory provisions or the provisions of the New Spark Articles in a relevant manner.

|
| Preemptive Rights | | | ||
| Spark Stockholders do not have preemptive rights to acquire newly issued capital stock under the Spark Charter or the DGCL. | | |
As a rule, New Spark’s stockholders have statutory preemptive rights if New Spark issues new shares and/or uses treasury shares, that is, each stockholder has the right to receive new shares and/or treasury shares in proportion to his shareholding in New Spark prior to the issuance of the new shares and/or use of treasury shares. The stockholders’ preemptive rights may only be excluded by a stockholders’ resolution or by the Administrative Board on the basis of an authorization granted by a stockholders’ resolution, and provided that the statutory requirements and the requirements stipulated by the stockholders’ resolution and/or the authorization for the respective exclusion are complied with.
When utilizing the Authorized Capital 2017, the stockholders’ preemptive rights are or may be excluded under the following circumstances:
a)
The stockholders’ preemptive rights are excluded with respect to capital increases against cash contributions provided that the shares are issued, with reference to this provision at an issue price which is not substantially below the stock exchange price of the existing shares of New Spark and that the shares issued under this authorization for the exclusion of preemptive rights in total do not exceed 10% of the registered share capital;
b)
The stockholders’ preemptive rights are further excluded with respect to capital increases against contributions in cash and/or in kind, if the new shares, with reference to this provision, shall be issued in the context of employee participation and/or remuneration programs or instruments to employees of New Spark or companies controlled by New Spark or companies in which New Spark holds an (indirect) majority interest, or to New Spark Managing Directors and/or to members of the management of companies controlled by New Spark or companies in which New Spark holds an (indirect) majority interest or to third parties which transfer the economic property and/or the economic benefits from the shares to the mentioned persons. The shares issued under this authorization for the exclusion of preemptive rights may in total not exceed 10% of the registered share capital;
c)
Furthermore, the Administrative Board is authorized, subject to the certain restrictions, to exclude the stockholders’ preemptive rights
|
|
|
SPARK
|
| |
NEW SPARK
|
|
| | | |
(also by combining such exclusions with an exclusion of preemptive rights according to a) and b) above and in certain other cases provided in the New Spark Articles.
|
|
| Amendments to Spark Charter, New Spark Articles, Spark Bylaws and Rules of Procedure | | |||
| Under the DGCL, the Spark Board is required to approve any amendments to the Spark Charter and, with limited exceptions, must submit the amendments to stockholders for adoption. Under the DGCL, an amendment to the Spark Charter that has been approved by the Spark Board must generally be adopted by holders of a majority of the shares of outstanding stock entitled to vote thereon. Under the Spark Charter, the Spark Board is authorized to amend the Spark Bylaws. | | |
As a rule, the New Spark Articles may only be amended by resolution of the General Meeting. Pursuant to the New Spark Articles, the required majority for such resolution is simple majority of votes cast if at least half of the share capital is represented unless provided otherwise by mandatory provisions of statute (e.g., capital increase with exclusion of preemptive rights; in such case, a majority of three quarters is required).
The Administrative Board may amend the New Spark Articles provided that such amendment affects the wording only but not the sense or meaning thereof.
The Rules of Procedure may be amended by resolution of the Administrative Board.
|
|
| Number of Directors | | | ||
| Under the Spark Bylaws, the number of directors shall not be less than two or more than nine. | | |
The Administrative Board comprises at least three members. Apart from that, the General Meeting shall determine the number of the Administrative Board members in accordance with the provisions of Section 23 paragraph 1 of the SEAG.
The Administrative Board shall appoint one or more New Spark Managing Directors. Members of the Administrative Board may be appointed as New Spark Managing Directors, provided that the non-executive members shall at all times constitute the majority of the Administrative Board members.
|
|
| Election of Directors | | | ||
| Except in the case of vacancies, the directors shall be elected by the Spark Stockholders, and at each election, the persons receiving the greater number of votes, up to the number of directors then to be elected, shall be the persons then elected. | | |
All members of the Administrative Board are elected by the General Meeting. Unless the General Meeting determines a shorter term, the members of the Administrative Board are elected for a term ending with the close of the General Meeting which resolves on the formal approval of their acts for the fourth fiscal year following the commencement of their term, not counting the year in which their term of office commences; provided that a term shall not be more than six years. Reappointments are permissible.
The New Spark Managing Directors are appointed by resolution of the Administrative Board.

|
|
| Removal of Board Members | | | ||
| Under the Spark Charter, subject to the rights of holders of any series of Preferred Stock, directors may be removed with or without cause by the holders of a majority of shares then entitled to vote. | | |
Members of the Administrative Board may be removed by resolution of the General Meeting at any time also prior to the end of their term of office. The respective resolution of the General Meeting requires a majority of the votes cast.
New Spark Managing Directors may be removed by resolution of the Administrative Board at any time without cause.
|
|
| Vacancies on the Board of Directors | | | ||
| Vacancies are to be filled by the vote of the majority of the remaining directors, even if less than a quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Spark Charter or the Spark Bylaws, each Spark Director will serve until the next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor is elected and qualified. | | |
If an Administrative Board member withdraws from office or otherwise falls away prior to the end of the regular term of office, the General Meeting may elect a successor by way of by-election. Such by-elections shall be held for the remaining period of office of any member withdrawing from the Administrative Board unless the General Meeting determines a different term on the occasion of the election which, however, must not exceed the permitted maximum term of office for the Administrative Board members set forth in the New Spark Articles.
The General Meeting may also elect substitute members for members of the Administrative Board together with their election. If not stipulated otherwise in the election, the substitute members replace, in the order of their election, prematurely dropped out members of the Administrative Board which were elected by the same General Meeting. If a substitute member replaces a vacancy on the Administrative Board, such substitute member’s term ends, if after the substitution situation has occurred a successor for the vacant Administrative Board seat is elected by way of a by-election, with the close of the General Meeting in which the by-election is resolved on. If no such successor is elected, the substitute member’s term shall continue until the end of the remaining term of office of the dropped out Administrative Board member. If the term of office of the substitute member ends by by-election, the substitute member regains its previous office as substitute member for other members of the Administrative Board.
Furthermore, vacancies on the Administrative Board may be filled by court upon motion by, e.g., the Administrative Board. However, such appointment by court may, as a rule, absent an important reason for prior appointment, only be effected after three months of vacancy. In case the

| Action by Written Consent | | | ||
|
Spark Stockholders may not act by written consent.
|
| | New Spark stockholders may not act by written consent apart from the possibility of postal voting in the context of General Meetings (for details, please see below). | |
| Annual Stockholders Meetings | | | ||
|
Under the Spark Bylaws, annual meetings of the Spark Stockholders are held at such place, date and time as is designated by the Spark Board.
Written notice of each annual meeting of Spark Stockholders (and Special Meetings) must be given to Spark Stockholders not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote.
|
| |
According to the SE Regulation, New Spark shall hold a General Meeting at least once each calendar year, within six months after the end of the previous financial year. The General Meeting shall be held at New Spark’s registered office, at the location of a German stock exchange or at a place in Germany located within a 50 km radius of New Spark’s registered office or of the location of a German stock exchange. The General Meeting shall be convened by the Administrative Board or by any further persons authorized by law. To the extent statutory law does not provide for a shorter period, the period for convening the General Meeting is 36 days (not counting the day of the convocation and the day of the General Meeting) (for details, please see below).
Shareholders shall only be entitled to attend the General Meeting and exercise their voting rights at such meeting if they have registered in due time before the General Meeting in accordance with the following provisions: The registration shall be in text form in German or in English, or if provided for in the convocation, in another electronic form as further determined therein. The registration must be received by New Spark within the statutory time period at the address as communicated in the convocation. The statutory registration period ends six days prior to the General Meeting, not counting the day of the receipt of the registration by New Spark and the day of the General Meeting. In the convocation for the General Meeting, a shorter period of time to be calculated in days can instead be stipulated.

| Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Nominations and Other Proposals | | |||

If the annual meeting has been moved more than 30 calendar days or after the anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting, then the request must be delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th calendar day prior to such annual meeting and no later than the close of business on the later of either (i) the 90th calendar day prior to such annual meeting and (ii) the 10th calendar day after the day on which Spark first publicly announces the annual meeting. | | |
represent the same amounts above) may request (in the case of the holders of New Spark ADSs, through the New Spark ADS Depositary) that additional items be put on the agenda and be published. Each new item of the agenda must also include a reason or a resolution proposal. The request must be addressed in writing to the Administrative Board and must be received by New Spark 30 days prior to the General Meeting (not counting the day of the receipt and the day of the General Meeting).
Additionally, every stockholder has the right, in the General Meeting to submit procedural motions, counter-motions to the proposals of the Administrative Board on specific agenda items as well as proposals regarding an election of Administrative Board members or auditors provided for in the agenda.
Counter-motions including a reason and election proposals (such election proposals do not require a reason) received by New Spark no later than 14 days prior to the General Meeting (not counting the day of the receipt and the day of the General Meeting), will be made available including the stockholder’s name, the reasoning and potential statements of the Administrative Board on New Spark’s website. However, New Spark may, under certain additional conditions further specified in Sections 126 and 127 of the German Stock Corporation Act, respectively, partially or completely refrain from making counter-motions or election proposals available or may summarize counter-motions or election proposals, respectively, and their reasoning.
Even if counter-motions and election proposals have been submitted to New Spark in advance, they will only be considered at the General Meeting if they are put forward by a stockholder at the General Meeting.

| Special Meeting of Stockholders | | | ||
|
Under the Spark Bylaws, Special Meetings of Spark Stockholders may be called at any time for any purpose by the Spark Board, Chairman of the Spark Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or stockholders owning at least 15% of the outstanding stock entitled to vote at such meeting by delivering a written request to the secretary of Spark, which request shall set forth the purpose(s) for which the meeting has been called.
Under the Spark Bylaws, the Spark Board may fix a date as the record date for determination of the

| |
The Administrative Board may convene an extraordinary General Meeting at any time to pass resolutions on those cases stipulated by statute or in the New Spark Articles.
Shareholders whose aggregate shareholdings represent 5% of the share capital may request the convocation of a General Meeting. Such request must include the proposed agenda items of the General Meeting. The request must be addressed in writing to the Administrative Board.

The record date must be not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting, nor more than 60 days prior to the proposed action. If no record date is fixed, the record date shall be the close of business on the day on which the Spark Board shall adopt the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of such meeting; provided, however, that the Spark Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. | | |
As a rule, only those New Spark stockholders are entitled to attend the General Meeting and exercise the voting rights who are registered with New Spark’s share register as of the day of the General Meeting (and have registered for the General Meeting in due time). However, in the convocation to the General Meeting it may be determined that the last day of the registration period for the General Meeting (i.e., generally six days prior to the General Meeting not including the day of registration) shall be relevant for the determination of the shareholding in New Spark’s share register (the “technical record date”). Thus, if New Spark Ordinary Shares are acquired in the period after such technical record date until and including the day of General Meeting, the purchaser will generally not be entitled to attend the General Meeting and exercise the voting rights with respect to such acquired shares.
|
|
| Quorum for Meetings of Stockholders | | | ||
| Under the Spark Bylaws, at any meeting of Spark Stockholders, the holders of a majority in voting interest of Spark Shares entitled to vote thereat, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, except as otherwise required by law. | | | As a rule, resolutions of the General Meeting do not require a quorum to be present at the General Meeting. However, in case of amendments of the New Spark Articles, at least half of the share capital must be represented at the General Meeting in order to adopt the respective stockholders’ resolution by simple majority (unless a higher majority is required by mandatory provisions of statute) (for details, please see above). | |
| Limitation of Personal Liability of Directors | | | ||
|
The DGCL authorizes Spark to limit or eliminate, subject to certain exceptions, the personal liability of directors to Spark and its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties. Under the Spark Charter, a Spark director is not personally liable to Spark or the Spark Stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty by such director as a director, except to the extent not permitted under the DGCL.
The Spark Charter and Spark Bylaws provide that Spark may maintain insurance to cover liabilities of Spark and any director or officer.
|
| |
Under German law, New Spark’s Administrative Board members and the New Spark Managing Directors are personally liable for damages to New Spark (but not to the stockholders) for any deliberate or negligent violation of their duties. This personal liability may not be excluded or limited by the New Spark Articles or otherwise.
Subject to statutory limitations, New Spark may take out financial loss liability insurance (D&O insurance) for members of the Administrative Board and the New Spark Managing Directors, under fair and usual terms and conditions, to cover legal liability arising from their activities on the Administrative Board and as New Spark Managing Directors, respectively.

| Indemnification of Directors and Officers | | | ||
| The Spark Charter and Spark Bylaws provide that | | |
New Spark may not, as a general matter, indemnify

| |
NEW SPARK
|
|
|
Spark will indemnify each person who is made a party to any action, suit or proceeding (civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise) by reason of the fact that they are a current or former director or officer or employee or is or was serving at the request of Spark as a director or officer of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, to the fullest extent allowed by Delaware Law.
Spark may, to the extent the Spark Board may authorize from time to time, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of Spark to the fullest extent of the indemnification provisions applying to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of Spark.
|
| | its Administrative Board members and New Spark Managing Directors to the extent such indemnification is related to a breach of duty of care as a member of the Administrative Board or New Spark Managing Directors, respectively. It may, however, purchase directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. The insurance may be subject to any mandatory restrictions imposed by German law, including a deductible. However, New Spark may indemnify a member of the Administrative Board or New Spark Managing Directors to the extent such indemnification is not related to a breach of the respective duty of care. | |
| Conflict of Interest Transactions | | | ||
| According to the Spark Bylaws, each transaction, or if such individual transaction constitutes a part of a series of transactions, each series of transactions, proposed to be entered into between Spark, on the one hand, and any affiliate of Spark, on the other hand, must be approved by the Spark Board. Under the Spark Bylaws, “affiliate” means (i) any person that, directly or indirectly, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with Spark, (ii) any other person that owns, beneficially, directly or indirectly, twenty percent (20%) or more of the outstanding capital shares, shares or equity interests of Spark, or (iii) any officer or director of Spark. | | |
Transactions between New Spark or a company of New Spark and/or its affiliates on the one hand and New Spark Managing Director or persons or companies related with such New Spark Managing Director on the other hand unless New Spark is represented with respect to the transaction by the Administrative Board, require the approval of the Administrative Board.
Members of the Administrative Board and New Spark Managing Directors are bound to pursue New Spark’s best interests. No member of the Administrative Board or New Spark Managing Director may pursue his or her personal interest in its decisions or use for his or her personal benefit business opportunities intended for New Spark or a company of the group. All transactions between New Spark or a company of the group on the one hand and an Administrative Board member or New Spark Managing Director or persons or companies related with such person on the other hand shall comply with the usual standards for the industry and shall be undertaken on normal market terms. Pursuant to the Rules of Procedure, each member of the Administrative Board shall disclose to the Chairman of the Administrative Board conflicts of interest, especially those that may result from performing a consulting function or holding a board position for clients, suppliers, creditors or other business partners.

| Information Rights and Rights of Inspections | | | ||
| Under Delaware Law, Spark is required to prepare, | | | Under German law, a list of participants | |

|
at least 10 days before a stockholders’ meeting, a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The list must be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least 10 days before the meeting either (1) on a reasonably accessible electronic network or (2) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of Spark. The list is also required to be made available for inspection during the stockholders meeting by any stockholder who is present.
Under Delaware Law, a Spark Stockholder has the right during normal business hours to inspect and make copies and extracts from Spark’s stock ledger, a list of Spark’s stockholders and other books and records of Spark, after making a written demand under oath stating the purpose for such inspection, so long as the purpose is reasonably related to the person’s interest as a Spark Stockholder.

(
Teilnehmerverzeichnis
) has to be drawn up at any General Meeting including, in particular, the (company) name and place of residence/seat of the stockholders present or represented at the General Meeting and/or of the representatives of stockholders (if any). The list of participants has to be made available in the General Meeting to all participants prior to the first vote. Upon request, each stockholder may inspect such list of participants for a period of two years after the respective General Meeting.
German law does not permit New Spark’s stockholders to inspect corporate books and records. However, Section 131 of the German Stock Corporation Act provides each stockholder with a right to information at the General Meeting, to the extent that such information is necessary to permit a proper evaluation of the relevant item on the agenda or the respective information has been given to a stockholder prior to the General Meeting in its capacity as stockholder. The right to information is a right only to oral information. Information may be given in writing to stockholders, but under Section 131 of the German Stock Corporation Act they are neither entitled to receive written information nor to inspect documents.
Apart from that, New Spark is obliged to publish and make available information and documents as stipulated by European and German law (e.g. the publication of its annual financial statements or in preparation of resolutions of the General Meeting).
The notices of New Spark are published in the Federal Gazette (
Bundesanzeiger
), unless specified otherwise by law. Information to stockholders can also be conveyed by electronic means. The stockholders’ right pursuant to Sections 125 paragraph 2 and 128 paragraph 1 of the German Stock Corporation Act to receive notifications pursuant to Section 125 paragraph 1 of the German Stock Corporation Act is limited to transmission of the notifications via electronic communication. Irrespective of that, the Administrative Board remains entitled, but is not obliged, to use other forms of transmission, if and insofar this does not conflict with any statutory provisions.

|
| Stockholder Suits | | | ||
| Under Delaware Law, Spark Stockholders may bring derivative actions on behalf of Spark to enforce the rights of Spark. Before bringing an action, the stockholder plaintiff is required to make a demand on the Spark Board to assert the claim, unless the stockholder is able to show that making such a demand would be futile. To maintain a derivative suit, a person must have been a stockholder at the time of the transaction that is the subject of the suit and must also generally maintain status as a stockholder throughout the duration of the suit. In certain circumstances, class action lawsuits are available to stockholders. | | |
Under German stock corporation law, any stockholder of a (European) stock corporation may file an action against the corporation challenging the validity of resolutions of the general meeting of stockholders based on a violation by the respective resolution of statutory law or the articles of association of the corporation. Generally, there is no quorum for such action and the action does not need to be based on a violation of individual rights of the claimant. However, subject to certain exceptions, only stockholders are entitled to such action who were stockholders already at the time of the convocation of the respective general meeting of stockholders and requested at the meeting that an objection to the respective stockholders’ resolution be included in the minutes of the meeting.
Claims of the corporation against the members of its management/supervisory bodies (i.e., administrative board members and managing directors), may generally only be pursued by the corporation itself. The corporation is obliged to pursue such claims upon demand of the general meeting of stockholders by resolution requiring a simple majority of the votes cast. Upon the motion of stockholders whose aggregate shareholdings amount to at least 10% of the share capital or 1 million Euro, a special representative will be appointed by court and authorized to represent the corporation for purposes of the pursuit of such claims. Furthermore, stockholders’ derivative suits for such claims may also be filed by stockholders whose aggregate shareholdings amount to at least 1% of the share capital or 100,000 Euro upon authorization by court. However, certain additional requirements for such authorization by a court apply: (i) the stockholders must provide evidence that they acquired the shares before they should have learned from a publication about the alleged breaches of duty or alleged damages, (ii) the stockholders must demonstrate that they requested in vain that the corporation file a law suit within an appropriate period of time, (iii) facts must exist that give reason to suspect that the corporation has suffered a loss as a result of improprieties or gross breaches of statutory provisions or articles of association and (iv) no predominate interest of the corporation exists which would prevent the assertion of the claim for damages.

| Stockholder Rights Plans | | | ||
| Spark currently has a stockholder rights plan in force that expired on July 9, 2017, pursuant to which each share of common stock has a “right” attached to it. The rights are not exercisable except upon the occurrence of certain takeover-related events, most importantly, the acquisition by a third party (the “Acquiring Person”) of more than 30% of Spark’s outstanding voting shares if the Acquiring Person has not concurrently made a tender offer to acquire all outstanding shares of common stock. Once triggered, the rights entitle the stockholders, other than the Acquiring Person, to purchase additional shares of common stock at a 50% discount to their fair market value. | | | N/A | |

Ladies and Gentlemen,
1. | Introduction |
1.1 | We have acted as legal advisers to Spark Networks SE (previously named Blitz 17-655 SE), a European stock corporation ( Societas Europaea or SE ) under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany and the European Union, having its seat in Munich, Germany and registered with the commercial register ( Handelsregister ) of the local court ( Amtsgericht ) of Munich (the " Commercial Register ") under docket no. HRB 232591 (the " Company "), as to matters of German law in connection with the registration statement on Form F-4 (the " Registration Statement ") filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the " SEC ") under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the " Act "), relating to the proposed issuance by the Company of up to 347,517 new ordinary no par value shares of the Company, each representing a notional amount of €1.00 of the Company’s share capital, (the " Shares ") in connection with the merger (the " Merger ") of Chardonnay Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the " Sub "), with and into Spark Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (" Spark Inc. "), pursuant to the terms of the agreement and plan of merger dated May 2, 2017, and as amended and/or restated from time to time, by and among the Company, Sub and Spark Inc. (the " Merger Agreement "). The Shares will be represented by American Depositary Shares (" ADSs ") and the ADSs will be represented by American Depositary Receipts (" ADRs "). The ADRs will be issued pursuant to a deposit agreement among the Company and Bank of New York Mellon as depositary, and all holders from time to time of ADRs issued thereunder. |

1.2 | As of the date hereof, the Shares have not been issued. As stated in the Merger Agreement, it is the Company’s intention to issue the Shares by way of a capital increase against contribution in kind ( Sacheinlage ) with exclusion of the shareholders’ pre-emptive rights (the " Capital Increase ") to be resolved by an extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting ( außerordentliche Hauptversammlung ) of the Company after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and certain other conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. |
1.3 | We are rendering this legal opinion (" Opinion ") in accordance with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations issued thereunder. We have taken instructions solely from the Company. |
2. | German Law |
2.1 | This Opinion is confined to, and given on the basis of, the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany as currently in effect and as currently applied by the courts of Germany. We have not investigated, and we do not express or imply any opinion on, the laws of any other jurisdiction. We have further not investigated, nor do we express or imply an opinion on any tax or regulatory matters or other issues of public law, and the opinions expressed herein shall be limited accordingly. We have not investigated or verified the accuracy of any factual matters addressed, or any representations made, in or by virtue of any of the Documents (as defined below) or otherwise relevant in relation to the Documents, and we have assumed that any such factual matters or representations of which we have become aware are accurate and complete. |

This Opinion may, therefore, only be relied upon on the express condition that any issues of interpretation arising thereunder are governed by German law and brought before a German court of law. This Opinion shall be governed by and construed in accordance with German law, and any disputes arising in relation to this Opinion shall exclusively be brought before the courts of Frankfurt am Main, Germany. |

Spark Networks, Inc.
11150 Santa Monica Blvd. Suite 600
Los Angeles, CA 90025
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Spark Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) of a Registration Statement on Form F-4 (Registration No. 333-220000), as amended, (the “Registration Statement”), which includes the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (the “Joint Proxy Statement”), dated as of [date], describing the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of May 2, 2017, among the Company, Affinitas GmbH (“Affinitas”), Chardonnay Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) and Spark Networks SE (formerly known as Blitz 17-655 SE) (“New Spark”). Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Registration Statement.
In connection with this opinion, we have examined and are familiar with the Merger Agreement, the Registration Statement, the Joint Proxy Statement, and such other presently existing documents, records, and matters of law as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of our opinion, including those documents (and the representations contained therein) specifically referenced in the Joint Proxy Statement. For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed the validity and the initial and continuing accuracy of the documents, certificates, records, statements, and representations referred to above. We have also assumed that the Business Combination and related transactions will be consummated as described in the Registration Statement and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and the ancillary documents thereto, without waiver or modification of any material term or condition thereof.
In our examination of documents, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed, photostatic, facsimile, or electronic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. In making our examination of documents executed, or to be executed, by the parties indicated therein, we have assumed that each party has, or will have, the power, corporate or otherwise, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder, and we have also assumed the due authorization by all requisite action, corporate or otherwise, and execution and delivery by each party indicated in the documents and that such documents constitute, or will constitute, valid, binding obligations of each party. Where documents have been provided to us in draft form, we have assumed that the final executed versions of such documents will not differ materially from such drafts.

In rendering our opinion, we have considered the current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Department regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial authorities, interpretive rulings of the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), and such other authorities as we have considered relevant, all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly on a retroactive basis. There can be no assurance that any of the opinions expressed herein will be accepted by the IRS, or, if challenged, by a court. Moreover, a change in the authorities or the accuracy or completeness of any of the information, documents, certificates, records, statements, representations, covenants, or assumptions on which our opinion is based could affect our conclusions.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing and to the assumptions and qualifications set forth in the Registration Statement under the caption “Proposal One — Adoption of the Agreement and Plan of Merger — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders,” we confirm that the statements contained in the Registration Statement under the caption “Proposal One — Adoption of the Agreement and Plan of Merger — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders — The Merger,” insofar as such statements constitute statements of U.S. federal income tax law, represent (subject to any express limitations therein) our opinion as to the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Merger to the U.S. holders of Spark Shares.
Our opinion is expressed as of the date hereof, and we are under no obligation to supplement or revise our opinion to reflect any legal developments, any factual matters arising subsequent to the date hereof, or any information, document, certificate, record, statement, representation, covenant, or assumption relied upon herein that becomes incorrect or untrue.
Except as set forth above, we express no opinion as to any matter not specifically addressed herein, including the accuracy of the representations relied upon by us in rendering the opinion set forth herein.
