Re: Amendment No. 2 to Shareholders Agreement dated as of January
12, 1994, as previously amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto
dated as of February 16, 1994
Dear Sir/Madam:
We refer to the above Shareholders Agreement, as amended (the
"Shareholders Agreement"), among Radica Games Limited (formerly named Radica
Holdings Limited) (the "Company") and each of you. That is, with the disposition
of shares by Xx. Xxxxx Xxxxxx and by International Game Technology ("IGT"), you
are the only remaining Shareholders pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement.
By way of background, the Company notes that the Shareholders Agreement
was originally entered into at the insistence of IGT, which is no longer a
party. The voting provisions in Article II of the Shareholders Agreement have
never been utilized, to any meaningful extent, by the parties. For example, the
Company has never since its initial public offering had 11 directors as such
Agreement calls for, and the selection of nominees for directors has always been
conducted on an informal basis rather than by reference to the Shareholders
Agreement.
The restrictions on transfer in Article III of the Shareholders
Agreement are now effectively inoperative since the Xxxxxx Trust will be
permitted freely to dispose of its shares either pursuant to Rule 144 or
pursuant to the registration rights provisions of the Shareholders Agreement.
Further, Xx. Xxxxxx will be permitted freely to dispose of his shares either
under Rule 144, or pursuant to such registration rights provisions, or pursuant
to the right of first refusal procedures contained in Section 3.04 of the
Shareholders Agreement, particularly since there is now no other shareholder who
is entitled to exercise such right of first refusal.
The registration rights provisions in Article IV of the Shareholders
Agreement are still operative and it is not proposed pursuant to this Amendment
to alter those provisions.
It is therefore proposed, and upon your signature below it is agreed,
that the entirety of Articles II and III of the Shareholders Agreement shall be
eliminated from such Agreement. The remaining provisions of the Shareholders
Agreement are not intended to be, and shall not be, affected by this Amendment.
Pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Shareholders Agreement, this Amendment may be
duly adopted by the signatures of the Company, the Xxxxxx Trust and Xx. Xxxxxx,
as set forth below.
If the foregoing is agreeable to you, would you please sign as
indicated whereupon this Amendment shall become effective as between the
remaining parties to the Shareholders Agreement.
Very truly yours,
Radica Games Limited
