NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

For purposes of this Agreement, capitalized terms used herein but not defined elsewhere in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in this Article I.

“Affiliate” of any Person shall mean, as of any date, any Person that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such first Person. For purposes of this Agreement, a Person shall be deemed to “control” another Person if such first Person possesses, directly or indirectly, the power to direct, or cause the direction of, the management and policies of such other Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Agreement, (i) none of the Spotify Parties or any of their respective Affiliates shall be deemed to be an Affiliate of the TME Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, and (ii) none of the TME Parties or any of their respective Affiliates shall be deemed to be an Affiliate of the Spotify Parties or any of their respective Affiliates.

“Business Day” shall mean any day of the year other than (i) any Saturday or Sunday or (ii) any other day on which banks located in New York City, New York, United States of America, London, United Kingdom, Stockholm, Sweden, Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, Hong Kong S.A.R., Shenzhen, PRC or the Cayman Islands are closed for business.

“Contract” shall mean any written or, if binding, oral contract, lease, easement, license, contract, commitment, agreement, arrangement or understanding (other than any Permits).

“Convertible Notes” shall mean the Convertible Senior Notes issued by Spotify on April 1, 2016 with an aggregate original principal amount of US$1 billion.

“EUR” or “€” shall mean the currency of the European Union.

“Exchange Act” shall mean the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

“Fully Diluted” shall mean, with respect to the share capital of TME or Spotify, as applicable, the sum of (i) all shares of capital stock of such Person issued and outstanding as of the Closing, plus (ii) all shares of capital stock of such Person issuable upon exercise of all options, warrants and other rights to purchase or otherwise acquire shares of capital stock of such Person granted, issued and outstanding as of the Closing, plus (iii) all shares of capital stock issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any securities of such Person that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for shares of capital stock of such Person granted, issued and outstanding as of the Closing, and plus (iv) all restricted shares of such Person granted, issued and outstanding as of the Closing; provided, however, that (A) with respect to any convertible debt securities of such Person, the shares of capital stock issuable upon conversion of such securities shall be included in the calculation of the Fully Diluted share capital of such Person if the price per share of capital stock of such Person into which such securities are convertible as of the Closing (regardless of whether such securities are convertible at that time) is greater than or equal to the applicable conversion price of such securities, in which case the number of shares of capital stock to be included in the calculation of the Fully Diluted share capital of such Person in respect of such convertible debt securities will be calculated by dividing the total principal amount (plus any accrued payment-in-kind interest) of such securities by the applicable conversion price and (B) with respect to any options or warrants of such Person, the number of shares of capital stock of such Person to be included in the calculation of the Fully Diluted share capital in respect of such options or warrants shall be the product of (x) a fraction, the numerator of which is the excess (if any) of the price per share of capital stock of such Person as of the Closing over the weighted average exercise price per share of capital stock of such Person as of the Closing for all such options and warrants (regardless of whether such options and/or warrants are exercisable at that time), and the denominator of which is the price per share of capital stock of such Person as of the Closing and (y) the total number of shares of capital stock of such Person issuable upon exercise of all such options and warrants;

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

provided, further, that with respect to Spotify, neither the Spotify Top-Up Options, nor the Convertible Notes (including any accrued payment-in-kind interest), nor any Beneficiary Certificates shall be included for purposes of calculating the Fully Diluted share capital of Spotify. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, solely for the purposes of the calculation of the Fully Diluted share capital of Spotify as of the Closing, the price per share of capital stock of Spotify as of the Closing and the number of Acquired Spotify Shares under this Agreement, the Spotify Shares Purchase Price shall be equal to the TME Shares Purchase Price. For purposes of this definition, (1) the price per share of capital stock of TME as of the Closing shall be equal to the Per TME Share Price and (2) the price per share of capital stock of Spotify as of the Closing shall be calculated by dividing the Spotify Shares Purchase Price by the total number of Acquired Spotify Shares. For illustrative purposes, Article I of each of the TME Disclosure Letter and the Spotify Disclosure Letter sets forth an agreed sample calculation, as of the dates specified therein, of the Fully Diluted share capital of TME, the number of Acquired TME Shares, the Fully Diluted share capital of Spotify, the number of the Acquired Spotify Shares and the price per share of capital stock of Spotify; provided, that such sample calculation is provided for reference only and shall not constitute any representation, warranty or covenant of any Party (for the avoidance of doubt, such sample calculation in Article I of the respective disclosure letters is intended solely to assist the Parties in calculating any of the foregoing amounts at the time of Closing and shall not be deemed to supplement, modify or supersede any of the provisions of this Agreement, including Article II). For purposes of calculating the Fully Diluted share capital of TME under this Agreement (including, as of the dates specified therein, in the sample calculation and as of the Closing), the Parties agree that the total number of shares of capital stock of TME to be included in the calculation of the Fully Diluted share capital of TME with respect to the options referred to as “Ultimate Options” in Article I of each of the TME Disclosure Letter and the Spotify Disclosure Letter shall be 8,589,474, which number is based on the good faith estimate of TME as of the date hereof; provided, however, that if, as of the Closing, the total number of shares of capital stock of TME issuable upon exercise of such Ultimate Options exceeds 10,736,843, then the total number of shares of capital stock of TME to be included in the calculation of the Fully Diluted share capital of TME with respect to such Ultimate Options shall be determined in accordance with clause (B) of this definition of “Fully Diluted” (it being understood and agreed that (x) the number of shares of capital stock of TME issuable upon exercise of such Ultimate Options as finally determined pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Contracts relating to such Ultimate Options may not be 8,589,474 but will also not exceed 10,736,843, and (y) in the event that the finally determined number of shares of capital stock of TME issuable upon exercise of such Ultimate Options is not 8,589,474, so long as such number does not exceed 10,736,843, neither the number of the Acquired TME Shares nor the number of the Acquired Spotify Shares, in each case, as finally determined as of the Closing Date, shall change, and no Party shall incur any liability under this Agreement, as a result of such difference).

“Governing Documents” of any Person shall mean the memorandum of association, articles of association, articles of organization, business license, certificate of incorporation or formation or organization, bylaws, partnership agreement, limited partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement or other operating agreement, shareholders’ agreement or other similar governing documents of such Person or relating to the shares of capital stock of such Person.

settlement or collection of any of the foregoing); provided, however, that Losses shall not include punitive or exemplary damages or any incidental or consequential damages, lost profits or other similar damages or losses, except to the extent such damages or losses are awarded to or recovered by a third party in connection with a Third Party Claim; provided, further, that Losses shall not be limited to matters asserted by third parties against any Person entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Article VII, but shall include any and all Losses incurred or suffered by such Person in the absence of a Third Party Claim and shall take into account such Person’s ownership or investment in TME or Spotify, as applicable, including any Loss or diminution in value thereof (it being understood that such Person shall be precluded from seeking to argue that the amount of Losses indemnifiable hereunder shall be subject to the application of a multiple of any relevant financial measure).

(b) Except in the case of a breach of any Fundamental Representation, no Indemnifying Party shall have any liability or obligation to any Spotify Indemnified Party or TME Indemnified Party, as applicable, under Section 7.02(a)(i) or Section 7.02(b)(i) unless and until the aggregate Losses incurred by all Spotify Indemnified Parties or TME Indemnified Parties, as applicable, thereunder exceed $12,000,000 (the “Basket”), in which case, any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to make a claim against the Indemnifying Party for any Losses from dollar one (but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any claims or series of related claims arising from substantially the same underlying facts, events or circumstances that do not exceed the De Minimis Amount).

(c) The maximum aggregate liability of (i) TME to any Spotify Indemnified Party under Section 7.02(a)(i) (other than for breaches of the Fundamental Representations) and (ii) Spotify to any TME Indemnified Party under Section 7.02(b)(i) (other than for any breaches of the Fundamental Representations), in each case, shall be an amount equal to $500,000,000.

(d) Without limiting Section 7.03(c), the maximum aggregate liability of (i) TME to any Spotify Indemnified Party under Section 7.02(a) and (ii) Spotify to any TME Indemnified Party under Section 7.02(b), in each case, shall be an amount equal to the TME Shares Purchase Price.

(e) For purposes of applying the indemnification remedies provided in this Article VII, when calculating the amount of any Losses relating thereto, in each case, the representations and warranties made by the Indemnifying Party in this Agreement shall be considered and applied without regard to any reference as to materiality, TME Material Adverse Effect, Spotify Material Adverse Effect or similar materiality qualifications set forth therein.

(f) The amount for which any Indemnifying Party shall be liable with respect to any Loss incurred by any Indemnified Party shall be reduced (i) to the extent that such Indemnified Party shall theretofore have actually realized any proceeds (net of any costs or expenses expended by such Indemnified Party in seeking such proceeds, including the present value of any increases in insurance premiums) recovered from third parties (including insurers) with respect to such Loss or any of the events, conditions, facts or circumstances resulting in such Loss and (ii) by the amount of any net Tax Benefit realized by such Indemnified Party (provided, however, that such Tax Benefit is actually recognized in the tax year prior to or in which the Loss is incurred). If an Indemnified Party shall have received or shall have had paid on its behalf an indemnity payment with respect to a Loss pursuant to this Article VII and shall subsequently receive, directly or indirectly, such proceeds, then such Indemnified Party shall

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such proceeds) pay to the Indemnifying Party the net amount of such proceeds or, if less, the amount of the indemnity payment that such Indemnified Party received or has had paid on its behalf pursuant to this Article VII. The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements other than this Agreement for any Losses to the same extent such Party would if such Losses were not subject to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement hereunder.

(g) An Indemnified Party shall be deemed to recognize a “Tax Benefit” with respect to a taxable year only if, and to the extent that, such Indemnified Party’s liability for income taxes in such taxable year, calculated by excluding any tax deductions or tax credits attributable to the Loss with respect to which it has been indemnified, exceeds the Indemnified Party’s actual liability for income taxes in such taxable year.

(h) For purposes of applying the indemnification remedies provided in this Article VII, a breach of any representation or warranty made by TME or Spotify shall not give rise to any indemnification claim hereunder to the extent, in the case of a breach of a representation or warranty made on the date of this Agreement, such breach results solely from the enactment of any Tax Law with retroactive effect after the date hereof and, in the case of a breach of a representation or warranty made as of the Closing Date, such breach results solely from the enactment of any Tax Law with retroactive effect after the Closing Date.

SECTION 7.04 Claims Procedure.

(a) Notification by the Indemnified Party. If any Indemnified Party becomes aware of any fact, matter or circumstance that may give rise to a claim for indemnification under this Article VII, the Indemnified Party shall (at its own expense) as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Article VII, including any pending or threatened claim or demand by a third party that the Indemnified Party has determined has given or could reasonably give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (each, a “Third Party Claim”), setting out in reasonable detail the provisions under this Agreement on which such claim is based, the basis thereof (including, where the claim is the result of a Third Party Claim, reasonably available evidence of the Third Party Claim) and setting out in reasonable detail its estimate of the amount of Losses to the extent known and quantifiable which are, or are to be, the subject of the claim; provided, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure.

(b) Cooperation by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party and in defending against a Third Party Claim, if the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense pursuant to Section 7.04(c), at the Indemnifying Party’s expense.

(c) Assumption of Defense of a Third Party Claim. Upon receipt of a written notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 7.04(a) in respect

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may, by notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within fifteen (15) Business Days of the receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim (or such lesser number of days set forth in such notice as may be required by court proceedings in the event of a litigated matter), assume the defense and control of any Third Party Claim, with its own counsel (reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party) and at its own expense, but shall allow the Indemnified Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain or assume, as applicable, the defense and control of any Third Party Claim and hire its own counsel (and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party) if (i) after assuming the defense and control of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party fails to actively and diligently pursue such Third Party Claim (after the Indemnified Party has notified the Indemnifying Party of such failure and the Indemnifying Party does not cure such failure within twenty (20) Business Days following receipt of such notice) or the Indemnifying Party withdraws from such defense or (ii) such Third Party Claim does not involve only monetary damages, is a criminal or quasi-criminal action or seeks any material injunction or other material equitable relief against any Indemnified Party; provided, further, that if the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are both named parties to the proceedings and, in the reasonable judgment of counsel to the Indemnified Party, the representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense with one separate counsel (and one additional separate local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party consent to a settlement, compromise or discharge of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim, unless such settlement, compromise, discharge or entry of any judgment only involves the payment of monetary damages and does not involve any finding or admission of any violation of Law or admission of any wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party and does not involve injunctive or other equitable relief, and the Indemnifying Party shall obtain, as a condition of any settlement, compromise, discharge, entry of judgment (if applicable), or other resolution, a complete and unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from any and all liabilities in respect of such Third Party Claim.

(d) The Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any claim or demand for which it is seeking indemnification from the Indemnifying Party hereunder or admit to any liability with respect to such claim or demand without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(e) Direct Claims. Any action by an Indemnified Party on account of any Losses which do not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than sixty (60) days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article VII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, the basis thereof and set forth the estimated amount, if reasonably obtainable and quantifiable, of the Losses that have been or may be suffered by the

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

Indemnified Party (the “Losses Estimate”). The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted such claim, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to pay the Indemnified Party for such Direct Claim. If the Indemnifying Party contests the payment of the Losses Estimate, then the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use good faith efforts to arrive at a mutually acceptable resolution of such dispute within the next thirty (30) days. If a mutually acceptable resolution cannot be reached between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party within such 30-day period, then the applicable Person shall thereupon be entitled to pursue such remedies as may be available to it under this Agreement. Upon a reasonable request by the Indemnifying Party, each Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder in respect of any Direct Claim hereby agrees to consult with the Indemnifying Party and use commercially reasonable efforts to take actions reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party in order to attempt to reduce the amount of Losses in respect of such Direct Claim; provided, that any costs, expenses or fees incurred in connection therewith shall be deemed to be Losses.

SECTION 7.05 Satisfaction of Indemnification Obligations.

(a) Upon the final determination of the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any Losses pursuant to this Article VII, the Indemnifying Party shall be required, at the sole and exclusive election of Spotify (if TME is the Indemnifying Party) or TME (if Spotify is the Indemnifying Party), to either (i) make a cash payment to the Indemnified Party (or another Person designated by Spotify or TME, as applicable, in its sole and absolute discretion) by wire transfer of immediately available funds or (ii)(A) if TME is the Indemnifying Party, cause TME Hong Kong to sell, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to Spotify (or another Person designated by Spotify in its sole and absolute discretion) all or a portion of any Spotify Securities owned beneficially or of record by the Indemnifying Party or its controlled Affiliates in exchange and as consideration for the satisfaction of TME’s indemnification obligation for such Losses and (B) if Spotify is the Indemnifying Party, cause Spotify AB to sell, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to TME (or another Person designated by TME in its sole and absolute discretion) all or a portion of any TME Securities owned beneficially or of record by the Indemnifying Party or its controlled Affiliates in exchange and as consideration for the satisfaction of Spotify’s indemnification obligation for such Losses (it being understood that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to elect to have its Losses indemnified by a cash payment, the sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance and delivery of Spotify Securities or TME Securities, as applicable, or a combination thereof, in each case, to satisfy the aggregate amount of Losses that the Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified for hereunder).

(b) For purposes of this Section 7.05, the number of Spotify Securities or TME Securities, as applicable, to be sold, transferred, assigned, conveyed and delivered to Spotify and TME, respectively, shall be calculated by dividing (i) the amount of the Indemnified Party’s Losses for which it is finally determined the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under Section 7.02 and with respect to which the Indemnified Party has elected to repurchase Spotify Securities or TME Securities, as applicable, from the Indemnifying Party, by (ii)(A) if the Spotify Securities or TME Securities, as applicable, are publicly traded on a

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

national securities exchange in the United States or a non-U.S. securities exchange, the volume weighted average of the price per Spotify Security or TME Security, as applicable, for the ninety (90) trading days ending on (and including) the trading day prior to the day of the final determination of the applicable indemnification claim in accordance with this Section 7.05, as obtained from Bloomberg L.P. (or, if not reported therein, from another authoritative source) and (B) if the Spotify Securities or TME Securities, as applicable, are not so publicly traded, the per share value of the Spotify Securities or TME Securities, as applicable (the “Per Share Value”) as of the day prior to the day of the final determination of the applicable Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any Losses pursuant to this Article VII, determined by an internationally recognized valuation firm that is independent from the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and that shall be selected by the Indemnified Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party (the “Expert”), which determination shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive, final, non-appealable and binding upon the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall bear the fees and expenses of the Expert, and such fees and expenses shall be added to the amount of the Indemnified Party’s Losses referred to in the foregoing clause (i) for purposes of determining the number of Spotify Securities or TME Securities, as applicable, to be sold, transferred, assigned, conveyed and delivered to the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 7.05. The Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall provide reasonable cooperation to the Expert in determining the Per Share Value pursuant to this Section 7.05. Any sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance and delivery of any Spotify Securities or TME Securities, as applicable, under this Agreement shall be consummated promptly and in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days after the later of (x) the applicable claim for indemnification has been finally determined and (y) if applicable, the determination of the Per Share Value by the Expert.

(c) Any claim, action, suit, arbitration or proceeding by or before any Governmental Body and the liability for and amount of damages therefor, shall be deemed to be “finally determined” for purposes of this Article VII when the Parties have so determined by mutual agreement or, if disputed, when a final non-appealable Order has been entered into with respect to such claim, action, suit, arbitration or proceeding.

SECTION 7.06 Tax Treatment of Indemnification. The Parties agree to treat any indemnification made pursuant to this Article VII as an adjustment to the TME Shares Purchase Price or the Spotify Shares Purchase Price, as applicable, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

SECTION 7.07 Exclusive Remedy. From and after the Closing, except in the case of a Willful Breach, the Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that, (i) the indemnification provisions of this Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Indemnified Parties with respect to any and all Losses arising from this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) except as set forth in, and without limiting the provisions of, this Article VII and Section 9.14 (Specific Performance), neither TME Parties nor the Spotify Parties shall be liable or responsible in any manner whatsoever (whether for indemnification or otherwise) to any Indemnified Party for any breach of any representation or warranty of TME or Spotify made in this Agreement or any breach, nonfulfillment or default in the performance of any covenant or agreement of the TME Parties or the Spotify Parties in this Agreement and (iii) anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no breach of any representation or warranty of TME or Spotify

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

made in this Agreement, or breach, nonfulfillment or default in the performance of any covenant or agreement of the TME Parties or the Spotify Parties in this Agreement shall give rise to any right on the part of any Indemnified Party, after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Other Transaction Agreements, to rescind this Agreement, any of the Other Transaction Agreements or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or to any further indemnification rights or monetary claims of any nature whatsoever in respect thereof (whether by contract, common law, Law or otherwise), all of which the Parties hereby waive. Nothing in this Section 7.07 shall limit any Party’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which such Party may be entitled pursuant to Section 9.14 (Specific Performance).

SECTION 7.08 Contingent Liabilities. No Indemnifying Party shall be liable under this Article VII in respect of any Loss which is contingent unless and until such contingent Loss becomes an actual liability and is due and payable; provided, that a notice of a Third Party Claim or Direct Claim may be delivered hereunder prior thereto.

SECTION 7.09 No Waiver of Contractual Representations and Warranties. The Parties agree that the Indemnified Parties’ rights to indemnification under this Article VII for the representations and warranties set forth herein are part of the basis of the bargain contemplated by this Agreement, and the Indemnified Parties’ rights to indemnification shall not be affected or waived in any respect by virtue of (and the Spotify Parties and the TME Parties shall be deemed to have relied upon the representations and warranties set forth herein notwithstanding) any knowledge on the part of the Spotify Parties of any inaccuracy of any of the representations or warranties of TME and on the part of the TME Parties of any inaccuracy of any of the representations or warranties of Spotify, in each case, set forth in this Agreement, regardless of whether such knowledge was obtained through such Party’s own investigation or through disclosure by the other Party or any other Person, and regardless of whether such knowledge was obtained before or after execution and delivery of this Agreement.

SECTION 7.10 No Duplication. Any Losses subject to indemnification hereunder shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Losses.

SECTION 7.11 No Offset. No Indemnifying Party shall have any right to set off any payment due under this Agreement or any other agreement by or among the Parties (or their respective Affiliates) against any other payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement, any such other agreement or otherwise.

SECTION 9.09 Entire Understanding. This Agreement (including the TME Disclosure Letter and the Spotify Disclosure Letter), the Confidentiality Agreement and the Other Transaction Agreements set forth the sole and entire agreement and understanding of the Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all inducements to the making of this Agreement relied upon by the Parties and supersede any and all prior representations, warranties, agreements, arrangements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Other Transaction Agreements (including that certain non-binding term sheet, dated August 21, 2017, by and among the Parties).

SECTION 9.10 Governing Law. Except to the extent that mandatory provisions of the Laws of Luxembourg are applicable, this Agreement and its enforcement, and any controversy arising out of or relating to the making or performance of this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York, without regard to New York’s principles of conflicts of law.

SECTION 9.13 Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

The use of the masculine, feminine or neuter gender or the singular or plural form of words herein shall not limit any provision of this Agreement.

For the purposes of ensuring that a proposed Transfer is not in violation of the restrictions in Section 2.02(b)(iii), the Investors shall be entitled to rely upon (1) reports of beneficial ownership of such Transferee that are publicly filed or available or (2) if such reports are not publicly filed or available, after due inquiry, the representation made by the relevant Transferee with respect to the total number of votes and total number of outstanding shares of the Company owned by such Transferee before such proposed Transfer.

(c) The Company may amend the Prohibited Person List following the date hereof to add or remove any Person to or from the Prohibited Person List, each such amendment to be effective upon delivery of written notice thereof to the Investors; provided that (i) any Person so added to the Prohibited Person List must be a Person that, directly or indirectly, conducts a Competing Business as determined in good faith by the Company, and (ii) the Company may not amend the Prohibited Person List more than once during any twelve (12) month period; provided, further, that any Institutional Fund which makes an investment in any Person that, directly or indirectly, conducts a Competing Business shall not be a Prohibited Person and shall not be included in the Prohibited Person List.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Transfer of TME Securities otherwise permitted by this Agreement shall be made unless such Transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act or any other applicable securities Laws of any foreign, federal, state, local or other jurisdiction (a “Foreign or State Act”).

SECTION 2.03 Joinder to Investor Agreement. Each Investor shall (and shall cause its controlled Affiliates who beneficially own any TME Securities to), prior to the Transfer of any TME Securities to any Permitted Transferee (other than in a Transfer that is a Qualified Transfer, a Brokerage Transaction or a Founder Transfer) and as a condition thereto, cause such Permitted Transferee to execute and deliver to the Company a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, pursuant to which such Permitted Transferee agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the provisions in the immediately preceding sentence, (i) until the completion of the IPO of the Company, each

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

SECTION 2.04 Notice of Transfer. Prior to Transferring any TME Securities in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Article II (other than in a Transfer that is a Transfer of any TME Securities to the Company, a Qualified Transfer, a Founder Transfer or, after the IPO of the Company, a Brokerage Transaction), an Investor or its controlled Affiliate, as applicable, shall, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the consummation of such Transfer, deliver a written notice thereof to the Company.

SECTION 2.05 Legends. With respect to the Investors or any of their respective controlled Affiliates who beneficially own any TME Securities, each certificate for TME Securities, if any, shall bear a legend or legends (and appropriate comparable notations or other arrangements will be made with respect to any uncertificated shares in the Company’s register of members or other books and records) referencing restrictions on Transfer of such TME Securities under the Securities Act, any applicable Foreign or State Act and this Agreement, which legend shall state in substance:

“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF, EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH (I) THE U.S. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND (II) ANY OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY FOREIGN, FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR OTHER JURISDICTION.

THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN THE INVESTOR AGREEMENT DATED AS OF [·], 2017, BY AND AMONG THE COMPANY AND THE OTHER PARTIES THERETO (A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY).”

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holder of any certificate(s) for TME Securities shall be entitled to receive from the Company new certificates for a like number of TME Securities not

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

bearing such legend (or the elimination or termination of such notations or arrangements) upon the request of such holder (i) at such time as such restrictions are no longer applicable and (ii) with respect to the restriction on Transfer of such TME Securities under the Securities Act or any other applicable Foreign or State Act, at the reasonable request of the Company, upon the delivery to the Company of an opinion of counsel to such holder, which opinion is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company and its counsel, that the restriction referenced in such legend (or such notations or arrangements) is no longer required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act or any such other applicable Foreign or State Act.

SECTION 2.06 Lock-Up Agreements. In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of any TME Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act or a prospectus or equivalent disclosure document pursuant to any Foreign and State Act (including in connection with an IPO of the Company), the Investors shall, and the Investors shall cause their respective controlled Affiliates that beneficially own any TME Securities to, enter into customary agreements restricting the public sale or distribution of equity securities of the Company (including sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) if and to the extent required in writing by the lead managing underwriter(s) with respect to such underwritten public offering; provided, however, that the Investors and their respective controlled Affiliates shall not be required to enter into any such agreement covering a period that would end later than one hundred and eighty (180) days after the date of the final prospectus relating to an IPO of the Company or ninety (90) days after the date of the final prospectus relating to any such underwritten public offering other than an IPO of the Company; provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing any restrictions in such agreement shall not apply to Transfers to Permitted Transferees (subject to compliance with Section 2.03). The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.06 shall be applicable to the Investors only if (i) in the case of an IPO of the Company, all officers and directors of the Company and all shareholders owning, in the aggregate, more than fifty percent (50%) of the Total Voting Power or fifty percent (50%) of the total issued and outstanding share capital of the Company are subject to the same restrictions, or (ii) in the case of any underwriting public offering of the Company other than an IPO, all officers and directors of the Company are subject to the same restrictions.

SECTION 2.07 Drag-Along Right.

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article II to the contrary, at any time prior to an IPO of the Company, if Tencent proposes a Trade Sale and:

(i) in the event such proposed Trade Sale is to a bona fide third party (other than Tencent or any Affiliate of Tencent), such Trade Sale has been approved by (x) no less than 75% of the Board and (y) no less than 75% of the issued and outstanding TME Shares; or

(ii) in the event that such proposed Trade Sale is to Tencent or any Affiliate of Tencent, such Trade Sale has been approved by the holders of no less than 66.7% of the issued and outstanding TME Shares (other than any TME Shares held directly or indirectly by Tencent or any of its Affiliates),

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

then, upon the written request from Tencent, the Investors shall, and the Investors shall cause their respective controlled Affiliates who beneficially own any TME Shares to, (A) vote all voting TME Securities held by them in favor of the Trade Sale, (B) refrain from exercising any dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal under applicable Law at any time with respect to the Trade Sale, (C) execute and deliver all related documentation and take such other action in support of the Trade Sale as shall reasonably be requested by Tencent or the Company, and (D) if the Trade Sale is structured as a transfer of TME Shares or other TME Securities, transfer a pro rata portion of their TME Shares or other TME Securities (calculated by multiplying (1) the total number of TME Shares or other TME Securities collectively beneficially owned by the Investors and their controlled Affiliates and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of TME Shares or other TME Securities proposed to be transferred in connection with such Trade Sale, and the denominator of which is the total number of outstanding TME Shares or other TME Securities (other than, in the case of Section 2.07(a)(ii), the total number of TME Shares or other TME Securities collectively beneficially owned by Tencent and its Affiliates) to consummate the Trade Sale (such right, the “Drag-Along Right”). When exercising the Drag- Along Right, Tencent shall send written notice (the “Sale Notice”) to the Investors with copy to the Company specifying the names of the purchaser(s), the nature of the Trade Sale, the consideration payable per share or the total consideration payable and a summary of the material terms and conditions of such transaction. Upon receipt of a Sale Notice, the Investors and their respective controlled Affiliates who beneficially own any TME Shares shall be obligated to consummate such Trade Sale in accordance with this Section 2.07; provided, that, in connection with such Trade Sale, the consideration to be received by the Investors and their respective controlled Affiliates in exchange for their TME Shares and other TME Securities shall be based on the same per share price as the consideration to be received by Tencent and its Affiliates and shall be paid in the same form as the consideration to be paid to Tencent and its Affiliates in such Trade Sale. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the parties hereto hereby agree that, for purposes of this Section 2.07, Affiliates of Tencent shall exclude the TME Group Companies or any of the TME Group Companies’ controlled Affiliates.

(b) In the event that any Investor fails for any reason to take any of the foregoing actions specified in this Section 2.07, after reasonable notice thereof, the Investors hereby grant, on behalf of themselves and on behalf each of their respective controlled Affiliates who beneficially own any TME Securities, an irrevocable power of attorney and proxy to any director approving the Trade Sale to take all necessary actions and execute and deliver all documents deemed by such director to be reasonably necessary to effectuate the terms hereof. The power of attorney granted hereby is intended to secure an interest in property and, in addition, the obligations of each Investor and its controlled Affiliates who beneficially own any TME Shares under this Agreement, and shall be irrevocable.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without the prior written consent of Tencent, no Trade Sale shall be effected, or be permitted to be effected, to any Prohibited Person.

SECTION 2.08 Delay of Transfer. The Company shall not incur any liability to the Investors, any of their respective controlled Affiliates or any other Person for any delay in recognizing any Transfer of TME Securities if the Company in good faith reasonably determines that such Transfer may have been or would be in violation in any material respect of the

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

provisions of the Securities Act, any applicable Foreign or State Act or this Agreement. Without limiting any of the other provisions of this Article II, the Company shall not exercise its power to suspend registration of Transfer of TME Securities by any Investor or its controlled Affiliates pursuant to Article 36 of the Company Articles, except to the extent the Board determines in good faith after consultation with its outside counsel that such Transfer would, if consummated, result in a violation by the Company of applicable Laws.

SECTION 3.01 Standstill Covenant.

(a) Except in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement, during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the earlier of (i) the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date hereof and (ii) the first date after the date hereof on which the number of TME Securities collectively beneficially owned by a Strategic Investor and its Affiliates exceeds the number of TME Securities then collectively beneficially owned by the Investors and their respective controlled Affiliates (such period, the “Standstill Period”), none of Parent or the Shareholder shall, and each of Parent and the Shareholder shall cause its controlled Affiliates and its controlled Affiliates’ Representatives (and with respect to such Representatives that are not directors, officers, managers or employees of Parent or the Shareholder or any of their respective controlled Affiliates, only to the extent such Representatives are acting on behalf, or at the behest, of Parent or the Shareholder or any of their respective controlled Affiliates) not to, directly or indirectly or alone or in concert with any other Person, unless invited to do so by the Board or with the prior written consent of the Company:

(i) acquire, offer or propose to acquire, or agree to acquire, by purchase or otherwise (other than as a result of a stock dividend, capitalization of profits, stock split or subdivision of any TME Securities beneficially owned by Parent, the Shareholder and their respective controlled Affiliates) (A) any economic interest in, or any direct or indirect right to direct the voting or disposition of, any TME Securities or other securities (including any Derivative Securities) of the Company, whether or not any of the foregoing would give rise to beneficial ownership and, in each case, whether or not any of the foregoing is acquired or otherwise obtained by means of borrowing of securities or operation of any Derivative Security or (B) except in the ordinary course of business, any consolidated assets or indebtedness of the Company;

(ii) enter into, agree, offer, or propose to enter into (whether publicly or otherwise), effect, engage in, or participate in, any acquisition transaction, merger or other business combination, recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution, share exchange, sale, disposition, purchase, acquisition or other extraordinary transaction relating to the Company or a transaction for all or a substantial portion of the consolidated assets of the Company or any of its businesses;

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

(iii) make, or in any way participate in, any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are defined in Rule 14a-1 under the Exchange Act, disregarding clause (iv) of Rule 14a-1(1)(2) under the Exchange Act and including any otherwise exempt solicitation pursuant to Rule 14a-2(b) under the Exchange Act) to vote, or seek or propose to advise, influence or encourage any Person with respect to the voting of, any TME Securities on any matter, or demand a copy of the Company’s register of members or other books and records;

(iv) initiate, induce or attempt to induce, cooperate or collaborate with, any other Person in connection with any shareholder proposal or withhold vote campaigns or any tender or exchange offer for equity securities of the Company, any change of control of the Company or the convening of a meeting of the Company’s shareholders;

(v) except as contemplated under Section 3.02, form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with respect to any TME Securities or in connection with (or otherwise act in concert with any Person in connection with) the matters that are the subject of this Section 3.01 with any Person (other than Parent or the Shareholder, as applicable, and their respective controlled Affiliates);

(vi) seek or propose to influence, advise, change or control the management, Board, governing instruments or policies, affairs or strategies of the Company;

(vii) bring any action or otherwise act to contest the validity of this Section 3.01;

(viii) advise, knowingly assist, knowingly encourage or knowingly act as a financing source for or otherwise invest in any Person in connection with, or enter into any discussions, negotiations, arrangements or understandings with any Person with respect to, any of the foregoing clauses (i) through (vii) of this Section 3.01(a) or propose any of such activities to any Person;

(ix) publicly request or otherwise publicly seek to amend or waive any provision of this Section 3.01, provided, that Parent, the Shareholder and their respective controlled Affiliates may make such request or proposal privately to the Board (which request or proposal the Board can accept or reject in its sole discretion) that is made in a manner that is not intended to and would not reasonably be likely to result in the Company being required to make any public disclosure or other public announcement related to such request or proposal; and

(x) make any statement or publicly disclose any intention, plan, arrangement or other contract that is prohibited by, or inconsistent with, any of the foregoing;

provided, however, that (A) any Transfer of TME Securities shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.01(a) so long as Parent, the Shareholder and their respective controlled Affiliates comply with Article II (if applicable); and (B) if the TME Securities beneficially owned by Parent, the Shareholder and their respective controlled Affiliates collectively represent less than ten percent (10%) of the then Fully Diluted share capital of the Company, an acquisition by

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

Parent, the Shareholder or their respective controlled Affiliates during the Standstill Period of up to that number of additional TME Securities that, together with the TME Securities beneficially owned collectively by Parent, the Shareholder and their respective controlled Affiliates immediately prior to such acquisition, would not collectively represent more than ten percent (10%) of the then Fully Diluted share capital of the Company (the “Standstill Cap”) shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.01(a). The Company shall provide in writing to the Shareholder, upon the Shareholder’s written request (which written request may be made by the Shareholder no more frequently than once each fiscal quarter), the total number of TME Securities representing the Fully Diluted share capital as of a recent date (without disclosing the identity of any holders of TME Securities), and Parent and the Shareholder shall be entitled to rely upon the most recently received such notice from the Company for all purposes of the preceding proviso. For the avoidance of doubt, if the TME Securities beneficially owned by Parent, the Shareholder and their respective controlled Affiliates exceed the Standstill Cap due to the decrease in the total number of TME Securities as a result of any share repurchase, share buyback or share redemption by the Company, Parent, the Shareholder and their respective controlled Affiliates are not required to reduce their beneficial ownership of TME Securities.

For purposes of this Section 3.01(a), the number of TME Securities beneficially owned by Parent, the Shareholder and their respective controlled Affiliates shall be determined without regard to the provisions set forth in Section 3.02.

(b) Nothing contained in this Section 3.01 shall restrict the right of Parent, the Shareholder, their respective controlled Affiliates or any other Person (i) to make or continue to hold bona fide investments in any Eligible Fund that holds or acquires any TME Securities or other securities (including any Derivative Securities) of the Company or otherwise engages in any of the activities otherwise restricted by this Section 3.01, so long as the investment in such Eligible Fund is made and held by such Person for investment purposes only and is not made or held for the purpose of engaging in or facilitating, or for the purpose of assisting or encouraging the Person(s) controlling such Eligible Fund to engage in or facilitate, any of the activities restricted by this Section 3.01 in any manner with respect to the Company or (ii) to acquire any TME Securities or other securities (including any Derivative Securities) of the Company pursuant to a bona fide distribution-in-kind by any Eligible Fund to all of its investors (including Parent, the Shareholder, their respective controlled Affiliates or such other Person) on a pro rata basis.

SECTION 3.02 Voting Agreement.

(a) Except as expressly provided for herein, the Investors hereby agree on behalf of themselves and on behalf of their respective controlled Affiliates that beneficially own any TME Securities that Tencent shall have the sole and exclusive right to vote, in its sole and absolute discretion, any TME Securities beneficially owned by the Investors and any of their respective controlled Affiliates on all proposals, resolutions and other matters for which a vote, consent or other approval (including by written consent) of the holders of TME Securities is sought or upon which such holders are otherwise entitled to vote or consent.

(b) The Investors hereby agree on behalf of themselves and on behalf of their respective controlled Affiliates that beneficially own any TME Securities that, unless Tencent

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

provides explicit written instructions to vote the TME Securities beneficially owned by the Investors or any of their respective controlled Affiliates or Tencent provides explicit written notice that the Investors and their respective controlled Affiliates shall be permitted to vote their TME Securities in their respective sole discretion without regard to any instructions of Tencent, the Investors shall not, and the Investors shall cause their respective controlled Affiliates not to, vote, or cause to be voted, or vote, consent or approve in any other circumstances, in which such vote, consent or other approval (including a written consent) is sought from the holders of TME Securities, any of the TME Securities beneficially owned by them (in person, by proxy or action by written consent).

(c) The Investors, on behalf of themselves and on behalf of their respective controlled Affiliates that beneficially own any TME Securities, hereby irrevocably appoint Tencent their true and lawful proxy and attorney with the power to act alone and with full power of substitution and re-substitution, to vote or act by written consent with respect to all TME Securities beneficially owned by them in accordance with this Section 3.02 and to execute all appropriate instruments consistent with this Agreement on behalf of the Investors and their respective controlled Affiliates. The proxy and power granted by the Investors and their respective controlled Affiliates are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and are given to secure the performance of their obligations under this Section 3.02. Tencent shall not be liable for any error of judgment nor for any act done or omitted, nor for any mistake of fact or law nor for anything which Tencent may do or refrain from doing in good faith, nor shall Tencent have any accountability hereunder, except for its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. If and to the extent reasonably requested by Tencent, the Investors shall issue a separate power of attorney in the name of Tencent or any director, officer or internal or external legal counsel of Tencent, or any other representative acting on behalf of and in accordance with the instructions of Tencent, in each case duly appointed and authorized to exercise the rights assigned to Tencent under this Section 3.02, to govern the exercise of rights assigned to Tencent under this Section 3.02.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions set forth in Section 3.02(a) through (c) shall not apply, and the Investors and their respective controlled Affiliates that beneficially own any TME Securities shall have the right to vote their TME Securities in their sole and absolute discretion, with respect to any proposal by the Company to make changes to any of the Control Documents (as such term is defined in the Company Articles) that is the subject of a shareholder vote, including any transfer or assignment of any party’s rights and obligations under any of the Control Documents and any appointment of representatives, specified persons or proxies under the Control Documents.

(e) The provisions of this Section 3.02 shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the mutual written agreement of the Company and the Shareholder, (ii) the time at which the Company ceases to be directly or indirectly controlled by Tencent (it being understood that solely for purposes of determining such direct or indirect control by Tencent, Tencent shall be deemed to have full and exclusive control of all TME Securities then subject to the proxy and power granted under this Section 3.02) and (iii) the tenth (10^th) anniversary of the date of this Agreement.

(b) Each Investor, on behalf of itself and its controlled Affiliates, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably (i) consents to the Dual-Class Structure and Re-Designation, including without limitation for all purposes under the Governing Documents of the Company; (ii) waives any veto rights and all similar rights (whether arising at contract or in law or

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

otherwise) in respect of the Dual-Class Structure and Re-Designation; (iii) subject to Section 3.02, agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, the TME Securities or any other shares of the Company that are beneficially owned by such Investor or its controlled Affiliates from time to time and at any time after the date of this Agreement and until the Effective Event, (A) in favor of, and (B) against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, adversely affect or inhibit, the Dual-Class Structure and Re-Designation and adoption of any amendment to the Company Articles to reflect the Dual-Class Structure and Re-Designation and other changes as necessary in facilitation of an IPO of the Company, at every meeting (or in connection with any action by written consent) of the Company’s shareholders at which such matters are considered and at any adjournment or postponement thereof; and (iv) agrees to promptly execute, deliver or enter into any other agreement, document, consent, approval or instrument, and take any other actions, which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to effect the Dual-Class Structure and Re-Designation.

Any party hereto seeking an order or injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof shall not be required to provide, furnish or post any bond or other security in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any such order or injunction, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the provision, furnishing or posting of any such bond or other security. If any action is brought by any party hereto to enforce this Agreement, the other parties hereto shall waive the defense that there is an adequate remedy at Law.

SECTION 2.05 Legends. With respect to the Investors or any of their respective controlled Affiliates who beneficially own any Spotify Securities, each certificate for Spotify Securities, if any, shall bear a legend or legends (and appropriate comparable notations or other arrangements will be made with respect to any uncertificated shares in the shareholders’ register or other books and records of the Company) referencing restrictions on Transfer of such Spotify Securities under the Securities Act, any applicable Foreign or State Act and this Agreement, which legend shall state in substance:

THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN THE INVESTOR AGREEMENT DATED AS OF [●], 2017, BY AND AMONG THE COMPANY AND THE OTHER PARTIES THERETO (A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY).”

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holder of any certificate(s) for Spotify Securities shall be entitled to receive from the Company new certificates for a like number of Spotify Securities not bearing such legend (or the elimination or termination of such notations or arrangements) upon the request of such holder (i) at such time as such restrictions are no longer applicable and (ii) with respect to the restriction on Transfer of such Spotify Securities under the Securities Act or any other applicable Foreign or State Act, at the reasonable request of the Company, upon the delivery to the Company of an opinion of counsel to such holder, which opinion is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company and its counsel, that the restriction referenced in such legend (or such notations or arrangements) is no longer required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act or any such other applicable Foreign or State Act.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

Investors and their respective controlled Affiliates shall not be required to enter into any such agreement covering a period that would end later than one hundred and eighty (180) days after the date of the final prospectus relating to an IPO of the Company or ninety (90) days after the date of the final prospectus relating to any such underwritten public offering other than an IPO of the Company; provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing any restrictions in such agreement shall not apply to Transfers to Permitted Transferees (subject to compliance with Section 2.03).

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article II to the contrary, at any time prior to an IPO of the Company, if (i) a bona fide firm offer has been made by an unaffiliated third party to acquire at least sixty-six percent (66%) of the Spotify Securities, on a fully diluted basis (which, for purposes of this Section 2.07, means the number of Spotify Shares issued and outstanding, together with the number of Spotify Shares issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange into Spotify Shares of all issued and outstanding Spotify Securities (excluding the Spotify Top-Up Options, the Convertible Notes and any Beneficiary Certificates) (such acquisition, a “Drag Transaction ”) and (ii) the holders of Spotify Securities (the “Transferring Holders”) that (A) together beneficially own at least sixty-six percent (66%) of the outstanding Spotify Shares and (B) include at least one (1) of the Founders (the “Transferring Founder(s)”) accept such offer, the Transferring Founder(s) shall have the right, on behalf of the Transferring Holders, to require the Investors and their respective controlled Affiliates who beneficially own any Spotify Securities (the “Drag-Along Parties”) to Transfer all or a portion of their respective Spotify Securities to the third party Transferee in such Drag Transaction, all in accordance with the following provisions:

(a) The Transferring Founder(s) shall, on behalf of the Transferring Holders, notify the Investors in writing of the proposed Drag Transaction no later than forty-five (45) days prior to the completion of the proposed Drag Transaction (the “Drag-Along Notice”). The Drag-Along Notice shall specify whether the Transferring Holders wish to exercise their drag-along rights pursuant to this Section 2.07 and set forth the identity of the proposed third party Transferee, the number of Spotify Securities to be Transferred, the price per Spotify Security and the other terms and conditions for the Drag Transaction. The Drag-Along Notice shall be sent by the Transferring Founder(s) on behalf of the Transferring Holders and shall also identify one Transferring Holder to whom the Investors shall send notices or other communications.

(b) If required by the Transferring Founder(s) on behalf of the Transferring Holders in the Drag-Along Notice, the Drag-Along Parties shall be obligated to Transfer Spotify Securities to the third party Transferee in such Drag Transaction on the same terms and conditions (including at the same price (subject to adjustments to take into account the value of the Spotify Top-Up Options)) as the Transferring Holders. The Transferred Spotify Securities (being the Spotify Securities that the third party has offered to acquire) shall be allocated

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

among the Transferring Holders and such Drag-Along Parties on a pro rata basis, calculated as the total number of Spotify Securities beneficially owned by the Drag-Along Parties in relation to the total number of Spotify Securities beneficially owned by all Transferring Holders and the Drag-Along Parties, all on a fully diluted basis.

(c) If a Drag Transaction occurs pursuant to which the Drag-Along Parties are obligated to Transfer Spotify Securities as provided for in this Section 2.07 in exchange for securities other than cash and/or marketable securities (“non-marketable securities”), the Transferring Founder(s) and the Investors shall cooperate in good faith to procure that the issuer of such non-marketable securities replicates the economic rights and other rights and priorities of the Drag-Along Parties immediately prior to such Transfer in its own capital structure.

(d) For the purposes of this Section 2.07, (i) DGE Investments shall not be deemed a Founder should a majority of the outstanding shares of DGE Investments no longer be ultimately held by Xxxxxx Xx and (ii) Xxxxxxx shall not be deemed a Founder should a majority of the outstanding shares of Xxxxxxx no longer be ultimately held by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx.

SECTION 2.08 Delay of Transfer. The Company shall not incur any liability to the Investors, any of their respective controlled Affiliates or any other Person for any delay in recognizing any Transfer of Spotify Securities if the Company in good faith reasonably determines that such Transfer may have been or would be in violation in any material respect of the provisions of the Securities Act, any applicable Foreign or State Act or this Agreement.

(i) acquire, offer or propose to acquire, or agree to acquire, by purchase or otherwise (other than as a result of a stock dividend, capitalization of profits, stock split

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

or subdivision of any Spotify Securities beneficially owned by the Tencent Parties and their respective controlled Affiliates) (A) any economic interest in, or any direct or indirect right to direct the voting or disposition of, any Spotify Securities or other securities (including any Derivative Securities) of the Company, whether or not any of the foregoing would give rise to beneficial ownership and, in each case, whether or not any of the foregoing is acquired or otherwise obtained by means of borrowing of securities or operation of any Derivative Security or (B) except in the ordinary course of business, any consolidated assets or indebtedness of the Company;

(iii) make, or in any way participate in, any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are defined in Rule 14a-1 under the Exchange Act, disregarding clause (iv) of Rule 14a-1(1)(2) under the Exchange Act and including any otherwise exempt solicitation pursuant to Rule 14a-2(b) under the Exchange Act) to vote, or seek or propose to advise, influence or encourage any Person with respect to the voting of, any Spotify Securities on any matter, or demand a copy of the Company’s shareholders’ register or other books and records;

(v) except as contemplated under Section 3.02, form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with respect to any Spotify Securities or in connection with (or otherwise act in concert with any Person in connection with) the matters that are the subject of this Section 3.01 with any Person (other than the other Tencent Parties and their respective controlled Affiliates);

(vi) seek or propose to influence, advise, change or control the management, Board, governing instruments or policies, affairs or strategies of the Company;

(vii) bring any action or otherwise act to contest the validity of this Section 3.01;

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

(ix) publicly request or otherwise publicly seek to amend or waive any provision of this Section 3.01, provided, that the Tencent Parties and their respective controlled Affiliates may make such request or proposal privately to the Board (which request or proposal the Board can accept or reject in its sole discretion) that is made in a manner that is not intended to and would not reasonably be likely to result in the Company being required to make any public disclosure or other public announcement related to such request or proposal; and

(x) make any statement or publicly disclose any intention, plan, arrangement or other contract that is prohibited by, or inconsistent with, any of the foregoing;

provided, however, that (A) any Transfer of Spotify Securities shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.01(a) so long as the Tencent Parties and their respective controlled Affiliates comply with Article II (if applicable); and (B) if the Spotify Securities beneficially owned by the Tencent Parties and their respective controlled Affiliates collectively represent less than ten percent (10%) of the then Fully Diluted share capital of the Company, an acquisition by any Tencent Party or its controlled Affiliates during the Standstill Period of up to that number of additional Spotify Securities that, together with the Spotify Securities beneficially owned collectively by the Tencent Parties and their respective controlled Affiliates immediately prior to such acquisition, would not collectively represent more than ten percent (10%) of the then Fully Diluted share capital of the Company (the “Standstill Cap”) shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.01(a). The Company shall provide in writing to TME Hong Kong upon TME Hong Kong’s written request and, after the completion of the Tencent Hong Kong Secondary Purchase, to Tencent Hong Kong upon Tencent Hong Kong’s written request (which written request may be made by TME Hong Kong or Tencent Hong Kong, as applicable, no more frequently than once each fiscal quarter), the total number of Spotify Securities representing the Fully Diluted share capital as of a recent date (without disclosing the identity of any holders of Spotify Securities), and the Tencent Parties shall be entitled to rely upon the most recently received such notice from the Company for all purposes of the preceding proviso. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Spotify Securities beneficially owned by the Tencent Parties and their respective controlled Affiliates exceed the Standstill Cap due to the decrease in the total number of Spotify Securities as a result of any share repurchase, share buyback or share redemption by the Company, the Tencent Parties and their respective controlled Affiliates are not required to reduce their beneficial ownership of Spotify Securities.

For purposes of this Section 3.01(a), the number of Spotify Securities beneficially owned by the Tencent Parties and their respective controlled Affiliates shall be determined without regard to the provisions set forth in Section 3.02.

(b) Nothing contained in this Section 3.01 shall restrict the right of the Tencent Parties, their respective controlled Affiliates or any other Person (i) to make or continue to hold bona fide investments in any Eligible Fund that holds or acquires any Spotify Securities or other securities (including any Derivative Securities) of the Company or otherwise engages in any of the activities otherwise restricted by this Section 3.01, so long as the investment in such Eligible Fund is made and held by such Person for investment purposes only and is not made or held for the purpose of engaging in or facilitating, or for the purpose of assisting or encouraging the Person(s) controlling such Eligible Fund to engage in or facilitate,

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

any of the activities restricted by this Section 3.01 in any manner with respect to the Company or (ii) to acquire any Spotify Securities or other securities (including any Derivative Securities) of the Company pursuant to a bona fide distribution-in-kind by any Eligible Fund to all of its investors (including the Tencent Parties, their respective controlled Affiliates or such other Person) on a pro rata basis.

SECTION 3.02 Voting Agreement.

(a) Except as expressly provided for herein, the Investors hereby agree on behalf of themselves and on behalf of their respective controlled Affiliates that beneficially own any Spotify Securities that DGE Investments shall have the sole and exclusive right to vote, in its sole and absolute discretion, any Spotify Securities beneficially owned by the Investors and any of their respective controlled Affiliates on all proposals, resolutions and other matters for which a vote, consent or other approval (including by written consent) of the holders of Spotify Securities is sought or upon which such holders are otherwise entitled to vote or consent.

(b) The Investors hereby agree on behalf of themselves and on behalf of their respective controlled Affiliates that beneficially own any Spotify Securities that, unless DGE Investments provides explicit written instructions to vote the Spotify Securities beneficially owned by the Investors or any of their respective controlled Affiliates or DGE Investments provides explicit written notice that the Investors and their respective controlled Affiliates shall be permitted to vote their Spotify Securities in their respective sole discretion without regard to any instructions of DGE Investments, the Investors shall not, and the Investors shall cause their respective controlled Affiliates not to, vote, or cause to be voted, or vote, consent or approve in any other circumstances, in which such vote, consent or other approval (including a written consent) is sought from the holders of Spotify Securities, any of the Spotify Securities beneficially owned by them (in person, by proxy or action by written consent).

(c) The Investors, on behalf of themselves and on behalf of their respective controlled Affiliates that beneficially own any Spotify Securities, hereby irrevocably appoint DGE Investments their true and lawful proxy and attorney with the power to act alone and with full power of substitution and re-substitution, to vote or act by written consent with respect to all Spotify Securities beneficially owned by them in accordance with this Section 3.02 and to execute all appropriate instruments consistent with this Agreement on behalf of the Investors and their respective controlled Affiliates. The proxy and power granted by the Investors and their respective controlled Affiliates are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and are given to secure the performance of their obligations under this Section 3.02. DGE Investments shall not be liable for any error of judgment nor for any act done or omitted, nor for any mistake of fact or law nor for anything which DGE Investments may do or refrain from doing in good faith, nor shall DGE Investments have any accountability hereunder, except for its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. If and to the extent reasonably requested by DGE Investments, the Investors shall issue a separate power of attorney in the name of DGE Investments or any director, officer or internal or external legal counsel of DGE Investments, or any other representative acting on behalf of and in accordance with the instructions of DGE Investments, in each case duly appointed and authorized to exercise the rights assigned to DGE Investments under this Section 3.02, to govern the exercise of rights assigned to DGE Investments under this Section 3.02.

Section 3.02(d) shall be replaced by “the time at which (A) Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx ceases to be a director of the Board and (B) a majority of the outstanding shares of Xxxxxxx are no longer ultimately held by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx”, and (z) the period set forth in clause (iii) above shall not be extended as a result of such transfer of rights from DGE Investments to Xxxxxxx.

CALLS ON SHARES

20.

FORFEITURE OF SHARES

26.

If a Member fails to pay any call or instalment of a call in respect of any Shares on the day appointed for payment, the Directors may, at any time thereafter during such time as any part of such call or instalment remains unpaid, serve a notice on him requiring payment of so much of the call or instalment as is unpaid, together with any interest which may have accrued.

27.

The notice shall name a further day (not earlier than the expiration of fourteen days from the date of the notice) on or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made, and shall state that in the event of non-payment at or before the time appointed the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

28.	If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any Share in respect of which the notice has been given may at any time thereafter, before the payment required by notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors to that effect.

30.

A Person whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of the forfeited Shares, but shall, notwithstanding, remain liable to pay to the Company all moneys which at the date of forfeiture were payable by him to the Company in respect of the Shares forfeited, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company receives payment in full of the amount unpaid on the Shares forfeited.

31.	A statutory declaration in writing that the declarant is a Director, and that a Share has been duly forfeited on a date stated in the declaration, shall be conclusive evidence of the facts in the declaration as against all Persons claiming to be entitled to the Share.

32.

The Company may receive the consideration, if any, given for a Share on any sale or disposition thereof pursuant to the provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture and may execute a transfer of the Share in favour of the Person to whom the Share is sold or disposed of and that Person shall be registered as the holder of the Share, and shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the disposition or sale.

33.

The provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which by the terms of issue of a Share becomes due and payable, whether on account of the amount of the Share, or by way of premium, as if the same had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

TRANSFER OF SHARES

39.	Procedures.

(a) First Participation Notice. In the event that the Company proposes to issue New Securities, it shall give to each Shareholder a written notice (the “First Participation Notice”), describing the amount and type of New Securities, the price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities. Each Shareholder shall have the right to purchase all or a portion of such Shareholder’s Participation Pro Rata Share of such New Securities for the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the First Participation Notice by giving a written notice to the Company within twenty (20) days from the date of receipt of such First Participation Notice and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased by such Shareholder (not to exceed its Participation Pro Rata Share of such New Securities). If any Shareholder fails to so notify in writing within such twenty (20) day period to purchase its full Participation Pro Rata Share of the New Securities, such Shareholder shall forfeit the right hereunder to purchase that part of its Participation Pro Rata Share of such New Securities that it did not elect to purchase but without prejudice to participating in any future or other offerings of New Securities.

(b) Second Participation Notice; Oversubscription. If any Shareholder does not exercise in full its Right of Participation within the above twenty (20) day period, the Company

shall promptly give a written notice (the “Second Participation Notice”) to each of the Shareholders who has exercised in full its Right of Participation in accordance with Article 39(a) above (the “Preemptive Right Participants”). Each Preemptive Right Participant shall have ten (10) days from the date of receipt of the Second Participation Notice to notify the Company of its desire to purchase more than its Participation Pro Rata Share of the New Securities, stating the number of the additional New Securities it proposes to buy. If, as a result thereof, such oversubscription exceeds the total number of the remaining New Securities available for purchase, each oversubscribing Preemptive Right Participant will be cut back by the Company with respect to its oversubscription to that number of remaining New Securities equal to the lesser of (x) the number of the additional New Securities such oversubscribing Preemptive Right Participant proposed to buy, and (y) the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of the remaining New Securities available for subscription by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares held by such oversubscribing Preemptive Right Participant and the denominator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares held by all the oversubscribing Preemptive Right Participants. Each Preemptive Right Participant shall be obligated to buy such number of New Securities as determined by the Company pursuant to this Article 39(b).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Articles or the Shareholders Agreement, the Company shall have the right to consummate an issuance of New Securities at any time with one or more Shareholders who have exercised their Right of Participation and are able to consummate such issuance before the expiration of the periods contemplated in Articles 39(a) and 39(b); provided that (i) such Shareholders shall not be entitled to acquire more New Securities than they would have been entitled to acquire if such periods had lapsed in full, and (ii) each other Shareholder shall continue to be entitled to acquire the same number of New Securities during such periods contemplated above as such Shareholder would have been entitled to acquire if the Company had not consummated any issuances before such periods had lapsed in full.

40.

Upon the expiration of a ten (10) day period from the date of the Second Participation Notice, or the twenty (20) day period from the date of the First Participation Notice (if no Shareholder exercises its Right of Participation within such 20-day period), the Company shall have ninety (90) days thereafter to sell the New Securities described in the First Participation Notice (with respect to which the Rights of Participation hereunder were not exercised) at the same or higher price and on terms not more favorable to the purchasers thereof than those specified in the First Participation Notice. In the event that the Company has not issued and sold such New Securities within such ninety (90) day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any such New Securities without again first offering such New Securities to the Shareholders pursuant to these Articles 38 through 41.

41.

The Company shall not be obligated to consummate any proposed issuance of New Securities, nor be liable to any Shareholder if the Company has not consummated any proposed issuance of New Securities pursuant to these Articles 38 through 41 for whatever reason, regardless of whether it shall have delivered a First Participation Notice or received any exercise notice in respect of such proposed issuance (provided that in such case the Company shall use its best efforts to consummate the issuance of New Securities to the Shareholders that have delivered such exercise notice).

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL; OTHER TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

42.

economic purpose contemplated by the R2G Agreement (in which case (i) the Company shall pay to CIFH on behalf of the relevant recipients of such shares at US$0.3333 per share, as if the Company had repurchased such shares from CIFH and re-issued the same to the relevant shareholders of R2G Limited and (ii) the Company’s right to issue an equivalent number of shares under (i) of the definition of “New Securities” shall forfeit) or (e) by the designees of shareholders of R2G Limited by way of waiving or non-exercising their right to receive any shares under the above (d) in exchange for cash consideration payable by CIFH, provided that in each case of (a), (b), (c) and (d), each such transferee or assignee, prior to the completion of the Transfer shall have executed documents fully and unconditionally assuming all of the obligations of such Shareholder under the Shareholders Agreement with respect to the Transferred Company Securities; provided, further, that in the case of (a), if such transferee at any time ceases to be an Affiliate of such Shareholder, such transferee shall, prior to its ceasing to be an Affiliate of such Shareholder, Transfer such Company Securities back to such Shareholder.

Notwithstanding anything otherwise provided in the Shareholders Agreement or these Articles, without the prior written consent of Tencent, (i) at any time during the first three (3) years after the Tencent Closing Date, each of the Key Management will not, Transfer, directly or indirectly, any Company Securities that are in excess of thirty percent (30%) of the aggregate Company Securities held or beneficially owned by such Key Management (subject to subsequent adjustment for share splits, share dividends, reverse share splits, re-capitalizations and the like) as of the Tencent Closing Date, whether in a single transaction or a series of transactions; and (ii) at any time during each one-year period for the three (3) years after the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Tencent Closing Date, each of the Key Management will not, Transfer, directly or indirectly, any Company Securities that are in excess of one-third (1/3) of the aggregate remaining Company Securities held or beneficially owned by such Key Management (subject to subsequent adjustment for share splits, share dividends, reverse share splits, re-capitalizations and the like) as of the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Tencent Closing Date, whether in a single transaction or a series of transactions; provided that with respect to any Key Management, if at any time during the four-year period after the Tencent Closing Date, (x) such Key Management has been removed as officer and employee of all Group Companies and all the employment agreements with such Key Management have been terminated by all Group Companies, or (y) such Key Management becomes a key executive of the general partner of the Music Fund (for the avoidance of doubt, once such Key Management becomes a key executive of the general partner of the Music Fund, such Key Management should have resigned and no longer been a director, officer or employee of any Group Company) (either (x) or (y), the “Shortened Lock-up Triggering Event”), then upon the resignation by such Key Management as directors of all Group Companies, the above Key Management lock-up provision shall be replaced by the following: without the prior written consent of Tencent, at any time during each one-year period for the two (2) years after the Shortened Lock-up Triggering Event, each of the Key Management will not, Transfer, directly or indirectly, any Company Securities that are in excess of one-half (1/2) of the aggregate Company Securities held or beneficially owned by such Key Management (subject to subsequent adjustment for share splits, share dividends, reverse share splits, re-capitalizations and the like) as of the Shortened Lock-up Triggering Event, whether in a single transaction or a series of transactions (any Transfer made as permitted pursuant to this proviso shall be a “Qualified Transfer”); provided further that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article 42, any proposed Transfer of Company Securities held or beneficially owned by such Key Management that is a Qualified Transfer (including any Transfer made by such Key Management’s Affiliates or permitted transferees) to any person (including to any other Shareholder) shall comply with, and be subject to the Right of First Refusal of each Shareholder in accordance with the respective provisions under these Articles 42 through 51. The lock-up contemplated under this Article 44 shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) the second (2^nd) anniversary of the Shortened Lock-up Triggering Event (only if the Shortened Lock-up Triggering Event is applicable); (ii) the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Tencent Closing Date; and (iii) six months after the consummation of a QIPO .

45.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Shareholders Agreement or these Articles, without the prior written consent of Tencent, none of the Shareholders other than Tencent shall Transfer, directly or indirectly, any Company Securities held or beneficially owned by it to any Restricted Person.

46.	[Reserved.]

47.

Grant of Right of First Refusal. Subject to the Drag-Along Right as set forth in Articles 58 through 60 below, each of the Shareholders is hereby granted a right of first refusal (the “Right of First Refusal”), exercisable in connection with any proposed Transfer of the Company Securities held by any other Shareholder, provided that the Shareholder exercising such Right of First Refusal must undertake to the Company and the other Shareholders that it purchases such Company Securities entirely for its own account, and not as a nominee holder for any third party. These Articles 42 through 51 shall not apply to any of the permitted Transfers under Article 42.

48.

In the event a Shareholder (the “Transferring Shareholder”) desires to accept a bona fide offer from a third party (other than the Restricted Persons) (the “Prospective Transferee”) for any or all of the Company Securities then held by such Transferring Shareholder (the Company Securities subject to such offer to be hereinafter called the “Target Shares”), the Transferring Shareholder shall promptly (i) deliver to each of the other Shareholders (the “Non-Transferring Shareholders”) a written notice (the “Disposition Notice”) describing the terms and conditions of the offer, including the purchase price and the identity of the Prospective Transferee; and (ii) provide satisfactory proof that the disposition of the Target Shares to such Prospective Transferee would not be in contravention of the provisions set forth in these Articles 42 through 51. Each Non-Transferring Shareholder may exercise the Right of First Refusal and, thereby, purchase all or any part of its ROFR Pro Rata Portion (as defined below and with any re- allotments as provided below) of the Target Shares at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Disposition Notice, by notifying the Transferring Shareholder in writing within thirty (30) days after receiving the Disposition Notice (the “ROFR First Response Period”) as to the number of such Target Shares that it wishes to purchase. No Shareholder shall have a right to purchase any of the Target Shares unless it exercises its Right of First Refusal within the ROFR First Response Period. If any Prospective Transferee has offered to pay for any Target Shares with property, services or any other non-cash consideration, the Non-Transferring Shareholders shall nevertheless have the right to pay for such Target Shares with cash in an amount equal to the fair market value of the non-cash consideration offered by the Prospective Transferee in question, where the fair market value of such non-cash consideration shall be conclusively determined in good faith by the Board. For purposes of this Article 48, the term “ROFR Pro Rata Portion” means that number of Company Securities equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of Target Shares covered by the Disposition Notice by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Company Securities held by such Non-Transferring Shareholder (assuming the conversion of all securities convertible into Ordinary Shares and exercise of all warrants, options and other securities exercisable for Ordinary Shares) at the time of the sale or transfer and the denominator of which is the total number of Company Securities held by all Non-Transferring Shareholders (assuming the conversion of all securities convertible into Ordinary Shares and exercise of all warrants, options and other securities exercisable for Ordinary Shares). If any Non-Transferring Shareholder fails to notify the Transferring Shareholder of such Non-Transferring Shareholder’s exercise of its Right of First Refusal, or, if any Non-Transferring Shareholder notifies the Transferring Shareholder that such Non-Transferring Shareholder will only partially exercise its Right of First Refusal, in each case within the ROFR First Response Period, then the Transferring Shareholder shall, as soon as possible but in any event within two (2) days after the expiration of the ROFR First Response Period, give a written notice (the “Overallotment Notice”) to each Non- Transferring Shareholder who has elected to exercise in full its ROFR Pro Rata Portion of the Target Shares (the “Fully-Exercising ROFR Shareholders”) specifying the Target Shares that are still available to be purchased by the Fully-Exercising ROFR Shareholders. Such Overallotment Notice may be made by telephone if confirmed in writing within two (2) days. The

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

Fully-Exercising ROFR Shareholders shall have a right of overallotment, exercisable within five (5) days upon receiving the Overallotment Notice (the “ROFR Second Response Period”), to buy up to all of the unsold Target Shares, or if more than one Fully-Exercising ROFR Shareholders exercise their overallotment right, the number of unsold Target Shares to be purchased by each Fully-Exercising ROFR Shareholder shall be reduced, to the extent necessary, to such number based on the number of Company Securities held by each Fully-Exercising ROFR Shareholder who has exercised its overallotment right (assuming the conversion of all securities convertible into Ordinary Shares and exercise of all warrants, options and other securities exercisable for Ordinary Shares) divided by the number of Company Securities held by all Fully-Exercising ROFR Shareholders who have exercised their overallotment right (assuming the conversion of all securities convertible into Ordinary Shares and exercise of all warrants, options and other securities exercisable for Ordinary Shares).

49.

If, after applying the procedure set forth in Article 48, there are still Target Shares not yet been purchased by the Non-Transferring Shareholders (such shares, the “Available For Sale Target Shares”), the Transferring Shareholder shall have a period of ninety (90) days thereafter to sell or otherwise dispose of such Available For Sale Target Shares, subject to the provisions of Articles 52 through 57 set forth below, to the Prospective Transferee(s) identified in the Disposition Notice, upon terms and conditions (including the purchase price) no more favorable to such Prospective Transferee(s) than those specified in the Disposition Notice. If the Transferring Shareholder has not completed the sale or disposition of the Available For Sale Target Shares within the specified ninety (90) day period, the Non-Transferring Shareholders’ Right of First Refusal hereunder shall once again apply to the transfer of the Available For Sale Target Shares.

50.

In the event of any share dividend, share split, sub-division or consolidation of shares, recapitalization or other transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding Company Securities as a class effected without receipt of consideration, then any new, substituted or additional securities or other property that is by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to the Company Securities shall be immediately subject to the Non-Transferring Shareholders’ Right of First Refusal hereunder.

51.

Payment of the purchase price for the Target Shares (or a portion thereof, as applicable) shall be made at the time as agreed between the Transferring Shareholder and each of the Non-Transferring Shareholders that has elected to exercise the Right of First Refusal, provided that such time shall not be later than the closing time specified in the Disposition Notice, unless otherwise agreed by the Transferring Shareholder and the relevant Non-Transferring Shareholders. Payment of the purchase price shall be made by wire transfer or check as directed by the Transferring Shareholder against delivery of the Target Shares to be purchased (or a portion thereof, as applicable).

51A.	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Articles, Articles 42 through 51 shall not apply to the Ordinary Shares issued to Spotify AB pursuant to the Spotify Subscription Agreement.

RIGHT OF CO-SALE

52.

Subject to Articles 42 through 51 above, and to the extent that (i) there are Available For Sale Target Shares, and (ii) the sale of Available For Sale Target Shares would result in a third party other than Tencent owning at least 50% of the total share capital of the Company on a fully diluted basis, each Non-Transferring Shareholder shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice (the “Co-Sale Notice”) delivered to the Transferring Shareholder within ten (10) days after the expiration of the ROFR Second Response Period or, if none of the Non-Transferring Shareholders have exercised their Right of First Refusal within the ROFR First Response Period, within ten (10) days after the expiration of the ROFR First Response Period, to participate in the sale of the Available For Sale Target Shares on the terms and conditions as set forth in Article 53 below.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

53.

Each Non-Transferring Shareholder may participate in the proposed sale and sell that number of Company Securities not to exceed the number of shares calculated by multiplying the aggregate number of the Available For Sale Target Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Company Securities held by such Non-Transferring Shareholder (assuming the conversion of all securities convertible into Ordinary Shares and exercise of all warrants, options and other securities exercisable for Ordinary Shares) at the time of the Co-Sale Notice and the denominator of which is the sum of (A) the aggregate number of Company Securities held by all Shareholders exercising the co-sale right hereunder plus (B) the number of the Company Securities held by the Transferring Shareholder (assuming the conversion of all securities convertible into Ordinary Shares and exercise of all warrants, options and other securities exercisable for Ordinary Shares), and the Company Securities that can be sold by the Transferring Shareholder to the Prospective Transferee shall be correspondingly reduced.

54.

The Non-Transferring Shareholders shall effect their participation in the proposed sale by promptly delivering to the Transferring Shareholder an instrument of transfer, together with one or more certificates that represent the number of Company Securities that the Non-Transferring Shareholder elects to sell.

55.

The Transferring Shareholder shall deliver to the Company the instrument(s) of transfer and share certificate(s) in respect of the transfer of any Company Securities pursuant to Article 54 promptly upon receipt of the same. Upon receipt of the instrument(s) of transfer and share certificate(s) referred to above from the Transferring Shareholder, the Company shall register such transfer and make the appropriate entries on the register of members of the Company to reflect such transfer, and the Transferring Shareholder shall concurrently therewith remit to the Company for delivery to each of the Non-Transferring Shareholders that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Non-Transferring Shareholder is entitled by reason of its participation in such transfer. To the extent that any Prospective Transferee prohibits such assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase Company Securities from a Non-Transferring Shareholder exercising its right of co-sale hereunder, the Transferring Shareholder shall not sell to such Prospective Transferee any Company Securities unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, the Prospective Transferee shall purchase from such Non-Transferring Shareholder the Company Securities that such Non-Transferring Shareholder is entitled to sell under these Articles 52 through 57.

56.	The exercise or non-exercise of the right of co-sale by the Non-Transferring Shareholders hereunder shall not adversely affect their right to participate in subsequent sales of Company Securities subject to Article 52.

57.	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, these Articles 52 through 57 shall not apply to any transfer permitted under Article 42.

DRAG-ALONG RIGHT

58.	Subject to Article 60, at any time prior to an initial public offering of the Company’s Shares on a Qualified Stock Exchange, if Tencent proposes a Trade Sale at an equity valuation of the Company of not less than US$6 billion on a fully diluted basis, and:

(a)

in the event that such proposed Trade Sale is to a bona fide third party (other than Tencent or any Affiliate of Tencent), such Trade Sale has been approved by (x) no less than 75% of the Board, and (y) Members holding no less than 75% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Company; or

(b)

in the event that such proposed Trade Sale is to Tencent or any Affiliate of Tencent, such Trade Sale has been approved by Members holding no less than 66.7% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares of the Company (other than any Ordinary Shares held by Tencent or any of its Affiliates),

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

then upon a written request from Tencent, each of the other Shareholders shall (i) vote all voting Company Securities held by them in favour of the Trade Sale and cause each Director designated by it to vote in favour of the Trade Sale, (ii) refrain from exercising any dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal under applicable Law at any time with respect to the Trade Sale, (iii) execute and deliver all related documentation and take such other action in support of the Trade Sale as shall reasonably be requested by Tencent or the Company, and (iv) if the Trade Sale is structured as a transfer of Ordinary Shares or other Company Securities, transfer all of the Ordinary Shares or other Company Securities to the third party to consummate the Trade Sale (the “Drag-Along Right”). When exercising the Drag-Along Right, Tencent shall send written notice (the “Sale Notice”) to all other Shareholders with copy to the Company specifying the names of the purchaser(s), the nature of the Trade Sale, the consideration payable per share or the total consideration payable and a summary of the material terms and conditions of such transaction. Upon receipt of a Sale Notice, all other Shareholders shall be obligated to consummate such Trade Sale in accordance with this Article 58. Notwithstanding the definition of Affiliates, for purposes of this Article 58, Affiliates of Tencent shall exclude the Group Companies or any of the Group Companies’ Controlled Affiliates.

59.

In the event that any other Shareholder fails for any reason to take any of the foregoing actions specified in Article 58 after reasonable notice thereof, such Shareholder hereby grants an irrevocable power of attorney and proxy to any Director approving the Trade Sale to take all necessary actions and execute and deliver all documents deemed by such Director to be reasonably necessary to effectuate the terms hereof. None of the transfer restrictions set forth in Articles 42 through 51 or Articles 52 through 57 shall apply in connection with the Trade Sale proposed by Tencent pursuant to Article 58, notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary herein. The power of attorney granted hereby is intended to secure an interest in property and, in addition, the obligations of each relevant Shareholder under these Articles, and shall be irrevocable.

60.	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without the prior written consent of Tencent, no Trade Sale shall be effected, or be permitted to be effected, to any Restricted Person.

ANTI-DILUTION ISSUANCE TO TENCENT

61.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) concurrently with or before the issuance, delivery or sale of any Company Securities by the Company to any Person (other than Tencent) in connection with any Issuance Obligation, the Company shall unconditionally issue, at no consideration, to Tencent such number of Ordinary Shares that equals to the result of (x) 110%, multiplied by (y) the same number of the Company Securities proposed to be issued, delivered or sold by the Company in connection with such Issuance Obligations (the “Anti-Dilution Issuance to Tencent”, and such Ordinary Shares issuable to Tencent, the “Anti-Dilution Issuance Shares”); and (ii) all consideration received by the Company as a result of the issuance, delivery or sale of any Company Securities to any Person in connection with any Issuance Obligation shall be distributed or otherwise allocated to all the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to July 12, 2016 (including Tencent) ratably in proportion to the number of Ordinary Shares held by such shareholder in the Company immediately prior to July 12, 2016. The Company and each Shareholder shall take all necessary actions to give effect to and consummate the Anti-Dilution Issuance to Tencent in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and any Anti-Dilution Issuance Shares, when issued and delivered to Tencent, shall be deemed fully paid, duly issued and non-assessable. In the event that the Company receives a request from any Person for the issuance, delivery or sale by the Company of any Company Securities to such Person in connection with the Issuance Obligation, the Board shall ascertain, and if any director of the Company reasonably objects to such request with good faith basis for such objection, use reasonable efforts to take all necessary actions to contest the validity of such request before the issuance, delivery or sale by the Company of any Company Securities to such Person. The obligation of the Company with respect to the Anti-Dilution Issuance to Tencent

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

under this Article 61 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier of (i) immediately prior to the consummation of a QIPO, or (ii) the date when the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act or analogous reporting requirements in an alternative listing jurisdiction.

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

62.

The legal personal representative of a deceased sole holder of a Share shall be the only Person recognised by the Company as having any title to the Share. In the case of a Share registered in the name of two or more holders, the survivors or survivor, or the legal personal representatives of the deceased holder of the Share, shall be the only Person recognised by the Company as having any title to the Share.

63.

Any Person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Member shall upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Directors, have the right either to be registered as a Member in respect of the Share or, instead of being registered himself, to make such transfer of the Share as the deceased or bankrupt Person could have made; but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the deceased or bankrupt Person before the death or bankruptcy.

64.

A Person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy of a Member shall be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the registered Member, except that he shall not, before being registered as a Member in respect of the Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to meetings of the Company.

ALTERATION OF SHARE CAPITAL

65.	Subject to Article 104, the Company may from time to time by Ordinary Resolution increase the share capital by such sum, to be divided into Shares of such Classes and amount, as the resolution shall prescribe.

(b)

convert all or any of its paid up Shares into stock and reconvert that stock into paid up Shares of any denomination;

(c)

subdivide its existing Shares, or any of them into Shares of a smaller amount provided that in the subdivision the proportion between the amount paid and the amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced Share shall be the same as it was in case of the Share from which the reduced Share is derived; and

(d)

Subject to Article 104, cancel any Shares that, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any Person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the Shares so cancelled.

67.	Subject to Article 104, he Company may by Special Resolution reduce its share capital and any capital redemption reserve in any manner authorised by law.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

REDEMPTION, PURCHASE AND SURRENDER OF SHARES

68.	Subject to the Companies Law and Article 104, the Company may:

(b)

purchase its own Shares (including any redeemable Shares) (i) on such terms and in such manner as the Directors may determine and agree with the Member or (ii) upon authorisation by a Special Resolution of Members on such terms and in such manner as specified in the Special Resolution; provided that the Company shall not act with respect to the Shares issued pursuant to the Spotify Subscription Agreement in violation of the Spotify Investor Agreement;

(c)

make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own Shares in any manner authorised by the Companies Law, including out of its capital; and

(d)

accept the surrender for no consideration of any paid up Share (including any redeemable Share) on such terms and in such manner as the Directors may determine.

69.	Any Share in respect of which notice of redemption has been given shall not be entitled to participate in the profits of the Company in respect of the period after the date specified as the date of redemption in the notice of redemption.

70.	The redemption, purchase or surrender of any Share shall not be deemed to give rise to the redemption, purchase or surrender of any other Share.

71.

The Directors may when making payments in respect of redemption or purchase of Shares, if authorised by the terms of issue of the Shares being redeemed or purchased or with the agreement of the holder of such Shares, make such payment either in cash or in specie including, without limitation, interests in a special purpose vehicle holding assets of the Company or holding entitlement to the proceeds of assets held by the Company or in a liquidating structure.

TREASURY SHARES

72.

Shares that the Company purchases, redeems or acquires (by way of surrender or otherwise) may, at the option of the Company, be cancelled immediately or held as Treasury Shares in accordance with the Companies Law. In the event that the Directors do not specify that the relevant Shares are to be held as Treasury Shares, such Shares shall be cancelled.

73.	No dividend may be declared or paid, and no other distribution (whether in cash or otherwise) of the Company’s assets (including any distribution of assets to members on a winding up) may be declared or paid in respect of a Treasury Share.

74.	The Company shall be entered in the Register as the holder of the Treasury Shares provided that:

(a)

the Company shall not be treated as a member for any purpose and shall not exercise any right in respect of the Treasury Shares, and any purported exercise of such a right shall be void;

(b)

a Treasury Share shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting of the Company and shall not be counted in determining the total number of issued shares at any given time, whether for the purposes of these Articles or the Companies Law, save that an

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

allotment of Shares as fully paid bonus shares in respect of a Treasury Share is permitted and Shares allotted as fully paid bonus shares in respect of a treasury share shall be treated as Treasury Shares.

75.	Treasury Shares may be disposed of by the Company on such terms and conditions as determined by the Directors.

GENERAL MEETINGS

76.

The Company may hold an annual general meeting and shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it.

77.

The Directors may cancel or postpone any duly convened general meeting at any time prior to such meeting, except for general meetings requisitioned by the Members in accordance with these Articles, for any reason or for no reason at any time prior to the time for holding such meeting or, if the meeting is adjourned, the time for holding such adjourned meeting.

79.

If at any time there are no Directors, any two Members entitled to vote at general meetings of the Company holding at least fifteen percent of the paid up voting share capital of the Company (or if there is only one Member then that Member) may convene a general meeting in the same manner as nearly as possible as that in which general meetings may be convened by the Directors.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

by the chairman or one or more Members present in person or by proxy entitled to vote, and unless a poll is so demanded, a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has, on a show of hands, been carried, or carried unanimously, or by a particular majority, or lost, and an entry to that effect in the book of the proceedings of the Company, shall be conclusive evidence of the fact, without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of, or against, that resolution.

90.	If a poll is duly demanded it shall be taken in such manner as the chairman directs, and the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded.

91.	[Reserved.]

92.	A poll demanded on the election of a chairman of the meeting or on a question of adjournment shall be taken forthwith. A poll demanded on any other question shall be taken at such time as the chairman of the meeting directs.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

2.1 Demand Registration.

(a) If the Company receives, upon the expiration of six (6) months after the effective date of a QIPO, a written request from Holders of at least thirty percent (30%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, then the Company shall, within thirty (30) days after the receipt thereof, give a written notice of such request to all Holders and shall, subject to the limitations of Section 2.1(b) (Demand Registration), use its best efforts to

-12-

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

effect as soon as practicable, the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Holders request to be registered within twenty (20) days after the mailing of such notice by the Company. Registrations under this Section 2.1 (Demand Registration) shall be on such appropriate registration form of the SEC or other governmental entity as shall be selected by the Company and shall permit the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition specified in the request for such registration.

(b) If the Holders initiating the registration request under this Section 2.1 (Demand Registration) (the “Initiating Holders”) intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 2.1 (Demand Registration) and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 2.1(a) (Demand Registration). The underwriter will be selected by the Company and shall be reasonably acceptable to a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders. In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided in Section 2.4(e) (Obligations of the Company)) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.1 (Demand Registration), if the underwriter advises the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders of the Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the amount of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders thereof, including the Initiating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the amount of Registrable Securities of the Company held by each Holder; provided, however, that in each case the amount of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all securities other than Registrable Securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting; and provided, further, that in the case of registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) (Demand Registration), that if the reduction reduces the total amount of Registrable Securities included in such underwriting to less than thirty percent (30%) of the Registrable Securities initially requested for registration by the Initiating Holders, such offering shall not be counted as a registration for the purpose of subsection (d)(i).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company furnishes to the Initiating Holders a certificate signed by the president or chief executive officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration statement to be filed and it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such registration statement, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than one hundred and twenty (120) days after receipt of the request from the Initiating Holders; provided, however, that the Company may not utilize this right more than twice in any twelve (12) month period.

-13-

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

(d) In addition to and without prejudice to Section 2.14 (Termination of Registration Rights), the Company shall not be obligated to effect, or take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 (Demand Registration):

(i) after the Company has effected two (2) registrations pursuant to Section 2.1(a) (Demand Registration) (with ADRs or ADSs and their underlying Ordinary Shares constituting a single registration) and such registrations (x) have been declared or ordered effective, or (y) have been closed or withdrawn at the request of the Initiating Holders (other than as a result of a Material Adverse Effect);

(ii) during the period commencing on the date sixty (60) days prior to the date of filing (as estimated by the Company in good faith) of, and ending on the date one hundred and eighty (180) days after the effective date of (subject to such extension as provided in Section 2.13 (“Market Stand-Off” Agreement)), a registration subject to Section 2.2 (Company Registration) (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company share plan, a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities, or a registration in which the only Ordinary Shares being registered are Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered or an SEC Rule 145 transaction); provided that the Company uses its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement under Section 2.2 (Company Registration) to become effective; or

(iii) if the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form F-3 or Form S-3 (or any successor form that provides for short-form registration), as the case may be.

2.2 Company Registration. If (but without any obligation to do so) the Company proposes to register (including, for this purpose, a registration effected by the Company for Shareholders other than the Holders) any of its securities under the Securities Act (or such applicable securities laws, as the case may be), in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company share plan, an offering or sale of securities pursuant to a registration statement on Form F-4 or Form S-4 (or any successor form), as the case may be, a registration in which the only shares being registered are Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of debt securities which are also being registered, a registration of securities in a transaction under Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act, or in any registration on any form which does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder a written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of any Holder given within twenty (20) days after mailing of such notice by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 2.7 (Underwriting Requirements), cause to be registered under the Securities Act the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be registered. For the avoidance of doubt, registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 (Company Registration) shall not be deemed to be a demand registration as described in Section 2.1 (Demand Registration) above. There shall be no limit on the number of times the Holders may request registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 2.2 (Company Registration).

2.3 Form F-3 or S-3 Registration. In case the Company receives from Holders of at least thirty percent (30%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form F-3 or Form S-3, as the case may be, and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities held by such Holders, as the case may be, the Company shall:

(a) promptly give a written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders; and

-14-

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

(b) as soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance, pursuant to this Section 2.3 (Form F-3 or S-3 Registration):

(i) if Form F-3 or Form S-3, as the case may be, is not available for such offering by the Holder(s);

(ii) if the Holder(s), together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate offering price to the public (before any underwriters’ discounts or commissions) of less than one million U.S. dollars (US$1,000,000);

(iii) if the Company furnishes to the Holder(s) a certificate signed by the president or chief executive officer of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration on Form F-3 or Form S-3 (as the case may be) to be effected at such time, the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the registration statement on Form F-3 or Form S-3 (as the case may be) for a period of not more than sixty (60) days after receipt of the request of the Holder or Holders under this Section 2.3 (Form F-3 or S-3 Registration); provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right more than twice in any twelve (12) month period;

(iv) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance; or

(v) during the period ending on the date one hundred and eighty (180) days after the effective date of a registration statement subject to Section 2.2 (Company Registration), which period may be extended pursuant to Section 2.13 (“Market Stand-Off” Agreement).

(c) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the request or requests of the Holders. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 2.3 (Form F-3 or S-3 Registration) shall not be counted as demands for registration or registrations effected pursuant to Sections 2.1 (Demand Registration) or 2.2 (Company Registration).

-15-

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

(c) furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act (or such other applicable securities laws, as the case may be), and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities held by them;

(d) use its reasonable best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as may be reasonably requested by the Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions;

(e) in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering, and each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such agreement;

(f) notify each Holder of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act (or such other applicable securities laws, as the case may be) of the occurrence of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances then existing, not misleading; such obligation shall continue until the earlier of (i) the sale of all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to the registration statement of which such prospectus forms a part, or (ii) withdrawal of such registration statement;

(g) cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

(i) use its reasonable best efforts to furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of the Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2 (Registration Rights), on the date such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 2 (Registration Rights), if such securities are being sold through underwriters, or on the date the registration statement with respect to such securities becomes effective, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, (i) an opinion, dated such date, from the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of the Registrable Securities; and (ii) a letter dated such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the Holders requesting registration of the Registrable Securities.

2.5 Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Section 2 (Registration Rights) with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities. The Company shall have no obligation with respect to any registration requested pursuant to Sections 2.1 (Demand Registration) and 2.3 (Form F-3 or S-3 Registration) if, as a result of the application of the preceding sentence, the number of shares or the anticipated aggregate offering price of the Registrable Securities to be included in the registration fails to reach or exceed the number of shares or the anticipated aggregate offering price originally required to trigger the Company’s obligation to initiate such registration as specified in Sections 2.1(a) (Demand Registration) or 2.3(b)(ii) (Form F-3 or S-3 Registration), whichever is applicable.

(b) Expenses of Company Registration. All expenses (other than underwriting discounts and commissions and such underwriting expenses to be borne by the underwriters) incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.2 (Company Registration) for each Holder (which right may

-17-

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

be assigned as provided in Section 2.10 (Assignment of Registration Rights)), including all registration, filing, and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the selling Holder or Holders shall be borne by the Company.

2.7 Underwriting Requirements. If a registration statement for which the Company gives a notice pursuant to Section 2.2 (Company Registration) is for an underwritten offering, then the Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities as part of such written notice. In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in a registration pursuant to Section 2.2 (Company Registration) shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and the other holders of securities of the Company whose securities are to be included in such registration and underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter(s) determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, then the managing underwriter(s) may exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and the underwriting, and the number of shares that may be included in the registration and the underwriting shall be allocated (i) first, to the Company, (ii) second, to each of the Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such registration statement on a pro rata basis based upon the total number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder; provided, however, that no exclusion of such Holders’ Registrable Securities shall be made unless all other Shareholders’ securities are first excluded; and provided, further, that in any underwriting that is not in connection with the Company’s initial public offering, the amount of Registrable Securities included in the offering shall not be reduced below twenty percent (20%) of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering, and (iii) third, to the other Shareholders. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. For any Holder that is a venture capital fund, partnership or corporation, the affiliated venture capital funds, partners, retired partners and stockholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners, stockholders and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single “Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “Holder,” as defined in this sentence.

-18-

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

(a) To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, any “underwriter” (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who Controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions, proceedings or settlements in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (each, a “Violation”): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained in such registration statement or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law; and the Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter or Controlling person, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.9(a) (Indemnification) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable to any Holder, underwriter or Controlling person for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs solely as a result of any written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder, underwriter or Controlling person.

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, each selling Holder will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who Controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement and any Controlling person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation by such Holder, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs solely as a result of any written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will pay, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.9(b) (Indemnification), in connection with investigating, defending or settling any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement

-19-

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

contained in this Section 2.9(b) (Indemnification) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided further, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 2.9(b) (Indemnification) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.9 (Indemnification) of a notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.9 (Indemnification), deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one (1) separate counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver a written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time after the commencement of any such action, if actually and materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party from any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.9 (Indemnification), but the omission to deliver a written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 2.9 (Indemnification). No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.9 (Indemnification) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that in no event shall any contribution by a Holder under this Section 2.9(d) (Indemnification) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(e) The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.9 (Indemnification) shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under this Section 2 (Registration Rights).

2.10 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2 (Registration Rights) may be assigned (but only with all related obligations) by a Holder to (i) any partner or retired partner or affiliated fund of any Holder which is a partnership, (ii) any member or former member of any Holder which is a limited liability company, (iii) any family member or trust for the benefit of any individual Holder, (iv) any Affiliate of a Holder, or (v) a transferee or assignee who acquires at least 20% of the shares of Registrable Securities originally purchased by the Holder (as adjusted for any share dividends, combinations, reclassifications or splits with respect to such shares); provided, in each case, that the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with a written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned, and, provided further, that the transferee or assignee of such registration rights assumes in writing the obligations of such Holder under this Section 2 (Registration Rights). For the purposes of determining the amount of Registrable Securities held by a transferee or assignee, the holdings of transferees and assignees of a business entity who are Affiliates, retired Affiliates of such entity (including spouses and ancestors, lineal descendants and siblings of such Affiliates or Affiliates who acquire Registrable Securities by gift, will or intestate succession) shall be aggregated together and with the business entity; provided that all assignees and transferees who would not qualify individually for assignment of registration rights shall have a single attorney-in-fact for the purpose of exercising any rights, receiving notices or taking any action under this Section 2 (Registration Rights).

2.11 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the outstanding Registrable Securities, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company which would allow such holder or prospective holder (a) to include such securities in any registration filed under Section 2.2 (Company Registration), unless under the terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of its securities will not reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities of the Holders which is included, or (b) to make a demand registration.

2.12 Reports under the Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public pursuant to a registration on Form F-3 or Form S-3, as the case may be, or without registration, the Company agrees to:

(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company for the offering of its securities to the general public so long as the Company remains subject to the periodic reporting requirements under Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

(b) take such action, including the voluntary registration of its Ordinary Shares under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, as is necessary to enable the Holders

-21-

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

to utilize Form F-3 or Form S-3 (or any successor form that provides for short-form registration), as the case may be, for the sale of their Registrable Securities, such action to be taken as soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal year in which the first registration statement filed by the Company for the offering of its securities to the general public is declared effective;

(c) file with the SEC (or such governing authorities, as applicable) in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, or other applicable securities regulations; and

(d) furnish to any Holder, so long as accurate and so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company), the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form F-3 or Form S-3 (or any successor form that provides for short-form registration) (at any time after it so qualifies), as the case may be, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.

2.13 “Market Stand-Off” Agreement.

(a) Each Holder hereby agrees that, during the period (the “Lock-up Period”) of duration (up to, but not exceeding, one hundred and eighty (180) days unless extended as provided below) specified in the relevant underwriting agreement by the Company and an underwriter of the Ordinary Shares, following the date of the final prospectus which forms a part of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act, it shall not, to the extent requested by the Company and such underwriter, directly or indirectly sell, offer to sell, contract to sell (including any short sale), grant any option to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than to donees who agree to be similarly bound) any securities of the Company held by it at any time during such period except Registrable Securities included in such registration, if any. Each Holder agrees to execute an agreement with said underwriters in customary form consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.13 (“Market Stand-Off” Agreement), provided, however, that (i) all directors, officers and holders of the outstanding Ordinary Shares shall sign substantially identical agreements and (ii) the agreement permits transfers to Affiliates or other transferees if, in each case, the transferee enters into a substantially similar agreement.

(b) In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each Holder (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such Lock-up Period and each Holder agrees that, if so requested, such Xxxxxx will execute an agreement in the form provided by the underwriter containing terms which are essentially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.13 (“Market Stand-Off” Agreement).

-22-

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations described in this Section 2.13 (“Market Stand-Off” Agreement) shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-8 or similar forms which may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to an SEC Rule 145 transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms which may be promulgated in the future.

2.14 Termination of Registration Rights. No Holder shall be entitled to exercise any right provided for in this Section 2 (Registration Rights) (except for Section 2.9 (Indemnification)) after the earlier of (i) five (5) years following the consummation of a QIPO, and (ii) such time as Rule 144 is available for the sale of all (and not less than all) of such Holder’s Ordinary Shares (with all transfer restrictions and restrictive legends removed upon such sale) to the public during a ninety (90) day period without registration.

2.15 Foreign Registrations. To the extent the Company effects a public offering or registration in a jurisdiction outside the U.S., the registration rights afforded to the Holders, and the intent of the related provisions hereunder shall, subject to the applicable securities regulations, be carried out and applied as nearly as possible in such foreign jurisdiction as if such public offering or registration were effected in the U.S.

RIGHT OF PARTICIPATION

3.1 General. Each Shareholder shall have the Right of Participation to purchase its Participation Pro Rata Share of any New Securities that the Company may from time to time issue after the date of this Agreement, provided that the Shareholder exercising the Right of Participation must undertake to the Company and the other Shareholders that it purchases the New Securities entirely for its own account, and not as a nominee holder for any third party.

3.2 Procedures.

(a) First Participation Notice. In the event that the Company proposes to issue New Securities, it shall give to each Shareholder a written notice (the “First Participation Notice”), describing the amount and type of New Securities, the price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities. Each Shareholder shall have the right to purchase all or a portion of such Shareholder’s Participation Pro Rata Share of such New Securities for the price and upon the terms and conditions specified in the First Participation Notice by giving a written notice to the Company within twenty (20) days from the date of receipt of such First Participation Notice and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased by such Shareholder (not to exceed its Participation Pro Rata Share of such New Securities). If any Shareholder fails to so notify in writing within such twenty (20) day period to purchase its full Participation Pro Rata Share of the New Securities, such Shareholder shall forfeit the right hereunder to purchase that part of its Participation Pro Rata Share of such New Securities that it did not elect to purchase but without prejudice to participating in any future or other offerings of New Securities.

(b) Second Participation Notice; Oversubscription. If any Shareholder does not exercise in full its Right of Participation within the above twenty (20) day period, the Company shall promptly give a written notice (the “Second Participation Notice”) to each of the Shareholders who has exercised in full its Right of Participation in

-23-

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

accordance with Section 3.2(a) (First Participation Notice) above (the “Preemptive Right Participants”). Each Preemptive Right Participant shall have ten (10) days from the date of receipt of the Second Participation Notice to notify the Company of its desire to purchase more than its Participation Pro Rata Share of the New Securities, stating the number of the additional New Securities it proposes to buy. If, as a result thereof, such oversubscription exceeds the total number of the remaining New Securities available for purchase, each oversubscribing Preemptive Right Participant will be cut back by the Company with respect to its oversubscription to that number of remaining New Securities equal to the lesser of (x) the number of the additional New Securities such oversubscribing Preemptive Right Participant proposed to buy, and (y) the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of the remaining New Securities available for subscription by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares held by such oversubscribing Preemptive Right Participant and the denominator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares held by all the oversubscribing Preemptive Right Participants. Each Preemptive Right Participant shall be obligated to buy such number of New Securities as determined by the Company pursuant to this Section 3.2(b) (Second Participation Notice; Oversubscription).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3 (Right of Participation), the Company shall have the right to consummate an issuance of New Securities at any time with one or more Shareholders who have exercised their Right of Participation and are able to consummate such issuance before the expiration of the periods contemplated in Section 3.2(a) (First Participation Notice) and Section 3.2(b) (Second Participation Notice; Oversubscription); provided that (i) such Shareholders shall not be entitled to acquire more New Securities than they would have been entitled to acquire if such periods had lapsed in full, and (ii) each other Shareholder shall continue to be entitled to acquire the same number of New Securities during such periods contemplated above as such Shareholder would have been entitled to acquire if the Company had not consummated any issuances before such periods had lapsed in full.

3.3 Failure to Exercise. Upon the expiration of a ten (10) day period from the date of the Second Participation Notice, or the twenty (20) day period from the date of the First Participation Notice (if no Shareholder exercises its Right of Participation within such 20-day period), the Company shall have ninety (90) days thereafter to sell the New Securities described in the First Participation Notice (with respect to which the Rights of Participation hereunder were not exercised) at the same or higher price and on terms not more favorable to the purchasers thereof than those specified in the First Participation Notice. In the event that the Company has not issued and sold such New Securities within such ninety (90) day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any such New Securities without again first offering such New Securities to the Shareholders pursuant to this Section 3 (Right of Participation).

3.4 No Obligation to Consummate. The Company shall not be obligated to consummate any proposed issuance of New Securities, nor be liable to any Shareholder if the Company has not consummated any proposed issuance of New Securities pursuant to this Section 3 (Right of Participation) for whatever reason, regardless of whether it shall have delivered a First Participation Notice or received any exercise notice in respect of such proposed issuance (provided that in such case the Company shall use its best efforts to consummate the issuance of New Securities to the Shareholders that have delivered such exercise notice).

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL; OTHER TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

4.1 Restriction on Transfer. For so long as there are Company Securities issued and outstanding, none of the Shareholders shall directly or indirectly Transfer any Company Securities in contravention of the Articles, this Section 4 (Right of First Refusal; Other Transfer Restrictions) or Section 5 (Right of Co-sale). Such restrictions, however, shall not be applicable to any Transfer of the Company Securities (a) to an Affiliate of such Shareholder, (b) to a custodian or a trustee, including a trustee of a voting trust, or partnership solely for the account and benefit of a Shareholder, (c) among the Shareholders, (d) by CIFH to certain designees of shareholders of R2G Limited of up to 9,977,004 Ordinary Shares, in one or more transactions, as an alternative method to achieve the economic purpose contemplated by the R2G Agreement (in which case (i) the Company shall pay to CIFH on behalf of the relevant recipients of such shares at US$0.3333 per share, as if the Company had repurchased such shares from CIFH and re-issued the same to the relevant shareholders of R2G Limited and (ii) the Company’s right to issue an equivalent number of shares under (ix) of the definition of “New Securities” shall forfeit) or (e) by the designees of shareholders of R2G Limited by way of waiving or non-exercising their right to receive any shares under the above (d) in exchange for cash consideration payable by CIFH, provided that in each case of (a), (b), (c) and (d), each such transferee or assignee, prior to the completion of the Transfer shall have executed documents fully and unconditionally assuming all of the obligations of such Shareholder under this Agreement with respect to the Transferred Company Securities; provided, further, that in the case of (a), if such transferee at any time ceases to be an Affiliate of such Shareholder, such transferee shall, prior to its ceasing to be an Affiliate of such Shareholder, Transfer such Company Securities back to such Shareholder.

4.2 Lock-up Covenant.

(a) Key Management Lock-up. Notwithstanding anything otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of the Key Management agrees and covenants that, without the prior written consent of Tencent, (i) at any time during the first three (3) years after the Tencent Closing Date, he will not, Transfer, directly or indirectly, any Company Securities that are in excess of thirty percent (30%) of the aggregate Company Securities held or beneficially owned by him (subject to subsequent adjustment for share splits, share dividends, reverse share splits, re-capitalizations and the like) as of the Tencent Closing Date, whether in a single transaction or a series of transactions; and (ii) at any time during each one-year period for the three (3) years after the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Tencent Closing Date, he will not, Transfer, directly or indirectly, any Company Securities that are in excess of one-third (1/3) of the aggregate remaining Company Securities held or beneficially owned by him (subject to subsequent adjustment for share splits, share dividends, reverse share splits, re-capitalizations and the like) as of the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Tencent Closing Date, whether in a single transaction or a series of transactions; provided that with respect to any Key Management, if at any time during the four-year period after the Tencent Closing Date, (x) such Key Management has been removed as officer and employee of all Group Companies and all the employment agreements with such Key Management have been terminated by all Group Companies, or (y) such Key Management becomes a key executive of the general partner of the Music Fund (for the avoidance of doubt, once such Key Management becomes a key executive of the general partner of the Music Fund, such Key Management should have resigned and no longer been a director, officer or employee of any Group Company) (either (x) or (y), the “Shortened Lock-up Triggering Event”), then

-25-

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

upon the resignation by such Key Management as directors of all Group Companies, the above Key Management lock-up provision shall be replaced by the following: without the prior written consent of Tencent, at any time during each one-year period for the two (2) years after the Shortened Lock-up Triggering Event, he will not, Transfer, directly or indirectly, any Company Securities that are in excess of one-half (1/2) of the aggregate Company Securities held or beneficially owned by him (subject to subsequent adjustment for share splits, share dividends, reverse share splits, re-capitalizations and the like) as of the Shortened Lock-up Triggering Event, whether in a single transaction or a series of transactions (any Transfer made as permitted pursuant to this proviso shall be a “Qualified Transfer”); provided further that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.1, any proposed Transfer of Company Securities held or beneficially owned by such Key Management that is a Qualified Transfer (including any Transfer made by such Key Management’s Affiliates or permitted transferees) to any person (including to any other Shareholder) shall comply with, and be subject to the Right of First Refusal of each Shareholder in accordance with the respective provisions under this Section 4 (Right of First Refusal; Other Transfer Restrictions). The lock-up contemplated under this Section 4.2(a) (Key Management Lock-up) shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) the second (2nd) anniversary of the Shortened Lock-up Triggering Event (only if the Shortened Lock-up Triggering Event is applicable); (ii) the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Tencent Closing Date; and (iii) six months after the consummation of a QIPO.

4.3 Restrictions on Transfer to Restricted Persons. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without the prior written consent of Tencent, none of the Shareholders other than Tencent shall Transfer, directly or indirectly, any Company Securities held or beneficially owned by it to any Restricted Person.

4.4 Transferee Obligations; Future Holders. Each person to whom the Company Securities are Transferred by means of one of the permitted Transfers specified in Section 4.1 (Restriction on Transfer) must, as a condition precedent to the validity of such Transfer, execute and deliver to each of the other parties a Joinder in the form set forth in Exhibit A, pursuant to which such transferee or assignee shall agree to be bound by this Agreement as if it were an original party hereto. Additionally, the Company agrees that any future issuance of any New Securities to any person or entity which results in such person or entity holding any Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares issued or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities outstanding on the date of, and immediately following, the adoption of this Agreement, the issuance of which shall have been approved pursuant to the Articles), as a condition for such issuance, the recipient must execute and deliver to the parties hereto a Joinder in the form set forth in Exhibit A, pursuant to which such subscriber shall agree to be bound by this Agreement as if it were an original party hereto. This Section 4.4 shall not apply to the issuance, or permitted Transfer by any Shareholder, of Ordinary Shares to any Spotify Investor, or to any Transfers by any Spotify Investor in accordance with the Spotify Investor Agreement. Further, each Shareholder understands and agrees that the Spotify Investors are not parties to or bound by this Agreement and that the Spotify Investor Agreement shall apply to the Spotify Investors in lieu of any provisions of this Agreement.

4.5 Grant of Right of First Refusal. Subject to the Drag-Along Right as set forth in Section 6, each of the Shareholders is hereby granted a right of first refusal (the “Right of First Refusal”), exercisable in connection with any proposed Transfer of the Company Securities held by any other Shareholder, provided that the Shareholder exercising

-26-

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

such Right of First Refusal must undertake to the Company and the other Shareholders that it purchases such Company Securities entirely for its own account, and not as a nominee holder for any third party. This Section 4 (Right of First Refusal; Other Transfer Restrictions) shall not apply to any of the permitted Transfers under Section 4.1 (Restriction on Transfer).

4.6 Exercise of Right of First Refusal. In the event a Shareholder (the “Transferring Shareholder”) desires to accept a bona fide offer from a third party (other than the Restricted Persons) (the “Prospective Transferee”) for any or all of the Company Securities then held by such Transferring Shareholder (the Company Securities subject to such offer to be hereinafter called the “Target Shares”), the Transferring Shareholder shall promptly (i) deliver to each of the other Shareholders (the “Non-Transferring Shareholders”) a written notice (the “Disposition Notice”) describing the terms and conditions of the offer, including the purchase price and the identity of the Prospective Transferee; and (ii) provide satisfactory proof that the disposition of the Target Shares to such Prospective Transferee would not be in contravention of the provisions set forth in this Section 4 (Right of First Refusal; Other Transfer Restrictions). Each Non-Transferring Shareholder may exercise the Right of First Refusal and, thereby, purchase all or any part of its ROFR Pro Rata Portion (as defined below and with any re-allotments as provided below) of the Target Shares at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Disposition Notice, by notifying the Transferring Shareholder in writing within thirty (30) days after receiving the Disposition Notice (the “ROFR First Response Period”) as to the number of such Target Shares that it wishes to purchase. No Shareholder shall have a right to purchase any of the Target Shares unless it exercises its Right of First Refusal within the ROFR First Response Period. If any Prospective Transferee has offered to pay for any Target Shares with property, services or any other non-cash consideration, the Non-Transferring Shareholders shall nevertheless have the right to pay for such Target Shares with cash in an amount equal to the fair market value of the non-cash consideration offered by the Prospective Transferee in question, where the fair market value of such non-cash consideration shall be conclusively determined in good faith by the Board. For purposes of this Section 4.6 (Exercise of Right of First Refusal), the term “ROFR Pro Rata Portion” means that number of Company Securities equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of Target Shares covered by the Disposition Notice by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Company Securities held by such Non-Transferring Shareholder (assuming the conversion of all securities convertible into Ordinary Shares and exercise of all warrants, options and other securities exercisable for Ordinary Shares) at the time of the sale or transfer and the denominator of which is the total number of Company Securities held by all Non-Transferring Shareholders (assuming the conversion of all securities convertible into Ordinary Shares and exercise of all warrants, options and other securities exercisable for Ordinary Shares). If any Non-Transferring Shareholder fails to notify the Transferring Shareholder of such Non-Transferring Shareholder’s exercise of its Right of First Refusal, or, if any Non-Transferring Shareholder notifies the Transferring Shareholder that such Non-Transferring Shareholder will only partially exercise its Right of First Refusal, in each case within the ROFR First Response Period, then the Transferring Shareholder shall, as soon as possible but in any event within two (2) days after the expiration of the ROFR First Response Period, give a written notice (the “Overallotment Notice”) to each Non-Transferring Shareholder who has elected to exercise in full its ROFR Pro Rata Portion of the Target Shares (the “Fully-Exercising ROFR Shareholders”) specifying the Target Shares that are still available to be purchased by the Fully-Exercising ROFR Shareholders. Such Overallotment Notice may be made by telephone if confirmed in writing within two (2) days. The Fully-Exercising ROFR Shareholders shall have a right of

-27-

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

overallotment, exercisable within five (5) days upon receiving the Overallotment Notice (the “ROFR Second Response Period”), to buy up to all of the unsold Target Shares, or if more than one Fully-Exercising ROFR Shareholders exercise their overallotment right, the number of unsold Target Shares to be purchased by each Fully-Exercising ROFR shall be reduced, to the extent necessary, to such number based on the number of Company Securities held by each Fully-Exercising ROFR Shareholder who has exercised its overallotment right (assuming the conversion of all securities convertible into Ordinary Shares and exercise of all warrants, options and other securities exercisable for Ordinary Shares) divided by the number of Company Securities held by all Fully-Exercising ROFR Shareholders who have exercised their overallotment right (assuming the conversion of all securities convertible into Ordinary Shares and exercise of all warrants, options and other securities exercisable for Ordinary Shares).

4.7 Non-Exercise of Right. If, after applying the procedure set forth in Section 4.6 (Exercise of Right of First Refusal), there are still Target Shares not yet been purchased by the Non-Transferring Shareholders (such shares, the “Available For Sale Target Shares”), the Transferring Shareholder shall have a period of ninety (90) days thereafter to sell or otherwise dispose of such Available For Sale Target Shares, subject to the provisions of Section 5 (Right of Co-sale) below, to the Prospective Transferee(s) identified in the Disposition Notice, upon terms and conditions (including the purchase price) no more favorable to such Prospective Transferee(s) than those specified in the Disposition Notice. If the Transferring Shareholder has not completed the sale or disposition of the Available For Sale Target Shares within the specified ninety (90) day period, the Non-Transferring Shareholders’ Right of First Refusal hereunder shall once again apply to the transfer of the Available For Sale Target Shares.

4.8 Recapitalization. In the event of any share dividend, share split, sub- division or consolidation of shares, recapitalization or other transaction affecting the Company’s outstanding Company Securities as a class effected without receipt of consideration, then any new, substituted or additional securities or other property that is by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to the Company Securities shall be immediately subject to the Non-Transferring Shareholders’ Right of First Refusal hereunder.

4.9 Payment. Payment of the purchase price for the Target Shares (or a portion thereof, as applicable) shall be made at the time as agreed between the Transferring Shareholder and each of the Non-transferring Shareholders that has elected to exercise the Right of First Refusal, provided that such time shall not be later than the closing time specified in the Disposition Notice, unless otherwise agreed by the Transferring Shareholder and the relevant Non-transferring Shareholders. Payment of the purchase price shall be made by wire transfer or check as directed by the Transferring Shareholder against delivery of the Target Shares to be purchased (or a portion thereof, as applicable).

RIGHT OF CO-SALE

5.1 Subject to Section 4 (Right of First Refusal; Other Transfer Restrictions ) above, and to the extent that (i) there are Available For Sale Target Shares, and (ii) the sale of Available For Sale Target Shares would result in a third party other than Tencent owning at least 50% of the total share capital of the Company on a fully diluted basis, each Non-Transferring Shareholder shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice (the “Co-Sale Notice”) delivered to the Transferring Shareholder within ten (10) days

-28-

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

after the expiration of the ROFR Second Response Period or, if none of the Non-Transferring Shareholders have exercised their Right of First Refusal within the ROFR First Response Period, within ten (10) days after the expiration of the ROFR First Response Period, to participate in the sale of the Available For Sale Target Shares on the terms and conditions as set forth in Section 5.2 below.

5.2 Each Non-Transferring Shareholder may participate in the proposed sale and sell that number of Company Securities not to exceed the number of shares calculated by multiplying the aggregate number of the Available For Sale Target Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Company Securities held by such Non- Transferring Shareholder (assuming the conversion of all securities convertible into Ordinary Shares and exercise of all warrants, options and other securities exercisable for Ordinary Shares) at the time of the Co-Sale Notice and the denominator of which is the sum of (A) the aggregate number of Company Securities held by all Shareholders exercising the co-sale right hereunder plus (B) the number of the Company Securities held by the Transferring Shareholder (assuming the conversion of all securities convertible into Ordinary Shares and exercise of all warrants, options and other securities exercisable for Ordinary Shares), and the Company Securities that can be sold by the Transferring Shareholder to the Prospective Transferee shall be correspondingly reduced.

5.3 The Non-Transferring Shareholders shall effect their participation in the proposed sale by promptly delivering to the Transferring Shareholder an instrument of transfer, together with one or more certificates that represent the number of Company Securities that the Non-Transferring Shareholder elects to sell.

5.4 The Transferring Shareholder shall deliver to the Company the instrument(s) of transfer and share certificate(s) in respect of the transfer of any Company Securities pursuant to Section 5.3 promptly upon receipt of the same. Upon receipt of the instrument(s) of transfer and share certificate(s) referred to above from the Transferring Shareholder, the Company shall register such transfer and make the appropriate entries on the register of members of the Company to reflect such transfer, and the Transferring Shareholder shall concurrently therewith remit to the Company for delivery to each of the Non-Transferring Shareholders that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Non- Transferring Shareholder is entitled by reason of its participation in such transfer. To the extent that any Prospective Transferee prohibits such assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase Company Securities from a Non-Transferring Shareholder exercising its right of co- sale hereunder, the Transferring Shareholder shall not sell to such Prospective Transferee any Company Securities unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, the Prospective Transferee shall purchase from such Non-Transferring Shareholder the Company Securities that such Non-Transferring Shareholder is entitled to sell under this Section 5 (Right of Co- Sale).

5.5 The exercise or non-exercise of the right of co-sale by the Non- Transferring Shareholders hereunder shall not adversely affect their right to participate in subsequent sales of Company Securities subject to Section 5.1.

5.6 Exempt Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 5 (Right of Co-Sale) shall not apply to any transfer permitted under Section 4.1 (Restriction on Transfer).

“THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG THE HOLDER HEREOF, THE COMPANY AND THE OTHER SHAREHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY.

The Company and the Shareholders shall take all actions necessary or desirable, including passing board and/or shareholder resolutions, in order to ensure that (i) upon the consummation of the Lechang Spinoff, each Shareholder’s ultimate beneficial ownership in Lechang shall be in proportion to such Shareholder’s equity interest in the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company as of July 12, 2016 immediately after the Tencent Closing, unless such Shareholder elects not to subscribe for its pro rata portion of the equity interest in Entity A; (ii) each Shareholder shall be paid a special dividend in proportion to such Shareholder’s equity interest in the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company as of July 12, 2016 immediately after the Tencent Closing, so that each such Shareholder may use such special dividend to subscribe for the equity interest in Entity A, provided that the Shareholder may use such special dividend for any purpose it may deem fit in the event that such Shareholder elects not to subscribe for its pro rata portion of the equity interest in Entity A; provided further that the unsubscribed portion of the equity interest in Entity A as a result of any Shareholder electing not to subscribe such portion shall be allocated to the other Shareholders who elects to subscribe the equity interest in Entity A on a pro rata basis in proportion to such other Shareholders’ equity interests in the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company (excluding those unsubscribed shareholder(s)) as of July 12, 2016 immediately after the Tencent Closing; (iii) if any Shareholder has been paid any special dividend that is inconsistent with the arrangement in subclause (ii), such Shareholder shall return the same amount of such special dividend to the Company, so that the arrangement in subclause (ii) will be achieved.

MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Effectiveness of Agreement/Termination of the Covenants. This Agreement shall be effective (a) with respect to the Company, Xxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxx and each Shareholder listed on Schedule A, upon the due execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the Shareholders holding at least 75% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares as of the date hereof, and (b) with respect to the other persons that become Shareholders after the date hereof, upon their due execution and delivery of a Joinder in the form set forth in Exhibit A. The covenants set forth in Section 3 (Right of Participation), Section 4 (Right of First Refusal; Other Transfer Restrictions), Section 5 (Right of Co-sale), Section 6 (Legend), Section 7 (Drag-Along Right), Section 8.10 (Related Party Transactions), Section 8.11 (Enforcement of Tencent Transaction Documents), Section 9 (Information Rights), Section 10.2(a), (b) and (c) (Protective Provisions), Section 10.3 (Control Documents) and Section 10.4 (IPO) shall terminate as to each Shareholder and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier of (i) immediately prior to the consummation of a QIPO, or (ii) the date when the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act or analogous reporting requirements in an alternative listing jurisdiction. The covenants set forth in and Section 10.2(d) (Protective Provisions) shall terminate and be of no further force or effect if it is determined by the underwriter of a QIPO and the Company’s legal counsel with respect to a QIPO that such covenants constitute a commercial or regulatory substantive impediment to the process of the QIPO. The parties hereto agree that each party shall negotiate in good faith to terminate or amend the covenants set forth in Section 8 (Board and Management) (other than those in Section 8.10 (Related Party Transactions) and Section 8.11 (Enforcement of Tencent Transaction Documents)) upon the earlier of (i) immediately prior to the consummation of a QIPO, or (ii) the date when the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act or analogous reporting requirements in an alternative listing jurisdiction, to the extent that the termination

-41-

or amendment of any such covenant shall be necessary or desirable in order for the Company to comply with applicable Law or rules or regulations of applicable securities exchanges in connection with a QIPO. Any person who ceases to be a Shareholder shall have no further right under this Agreement, but for the avoidance of doubt, such person shall continue to be subject to the obligations hereunder that by their terms apply to such person after it ceases to be a Shareholder.

11.2 Enforceability/Severability. The parties hereto agree that each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Laws. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then such provision shall be construed, to the extent feasible, so as to render the provision enforceable and to provide for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby on substantially the same terms as originally set forth herein, and if no feasible interpretation would save such provision, it shall be severed from the remainder of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect unless the severed provision is essential to the rights or benefits intended by the parties. In such event, the parties shall use best efforts to negotiate, in good faith, a substitute, valid and enforceable provision or agreement which most nearly effects the parties’ intent in entering into this Agreement.

11.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with all the exhibits hereto and thereto, and the Transaction Documents constitute and contain the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior negotiations, correspondence, agreements, understandings, duties or obligations between the parties respecting the subject matter hereof, including the Prior Agreement, the Shareholders Agreement dated March 8, 2016 by and among the Company and certain other parties named therein (“March 2016 SHA”), the Shareholders Agreement dated May 26, 2014 by and among the Company and certain other parties named therein (“2014 SHA”) and the Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement dated December 4, 2013 by and among the Company and certain other parties named therein (“2013 SHA”, together with the 2014 SHA, the March 2016 SHA and the Prior Agreement, the “Prior SHAs”).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Shareholders agree that in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between any of the terms of this Agreement and any of the terms of the Articles, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail in all respects as among the Shareholders. The Shareholders shall give full effect to and act in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement over the provisions of the Articles and the parties hereto shall exercise all voting and other rights and powers (including the power to procure any required alteration to the Articles to the extent permitted by applicable Law to resolve such conflict or inconsistency) to make the provisions of this Agreement effective. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Shareholder agrees to vote all of its Company Securities or execute proxies or written consents, as the case may be, and to take all other actions necessary, to ensure that the Articles (i) facilitate, and do not at any time conflict with, any provision of this Agreement, (ii) permit each Shareholder to receive the benefits to which each such Shareholder is entitled under this Agreement and (iii) are adopted concurrently with or as soon as practicable after the effectiveness of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1 and registered promptly thereafter.

11.4 Governing Law and Dispute Resolution. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed exclusively in accordance with the Laws of Hong Kong without

-42-

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the Laws of Hong Kong to the rights and duties of the parties hereunder.

Any dispute, controversy or claim (each, a “Dispute”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the interpretation, breach, termination, validity or invalidity thereof, shall be referred to arbitration upon the demand of either party to the dispute with notice (the “Arbitration Notice”) to the other. The Dispute shall be settled by arbitration in Hong Kong by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (the “HKIAC”) in accordance with the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre Administered Arbitration Rules (the “HKIAC Rules”) in force at the time when the Arbitration Notice is submitted. The seat of arbitration shall be Hong Kong. There shall be three (3) arbitrators. The complainant and the respondent to such dispute shall each select one arbitrator within thirty (30) days after giving or receiving the demand for arbitration (the “Selection Period”). Such arbitrators shall be freely selected, and the parties shall not be limited in their selection to any prescribed list. The chairman of the HKIAC shall select the third arbitrator. If either party to the arbitration fail to appoint an arbitrator with the Selection Period, the relevant appointment shall be made by the chairman of the HKIAC. The arbitral proceedings shall be conducted in English. To the extent that the HKIAC Rules are in conflict with the provisions of this Section 11.4 (Governing Law and Dispute Resolution), including the provisions concerning the appointment of the arbitrators, this Section 11.4 (Governing Law and Dispute Resolution) shall prevail. Each party to the arbitration shall cooperate with each other party to the arbitration in making full disclosure of and providing complete access to all information and documents requested by such other party in connection with such arbitral proceedings, subject only to any confidentiality obligations binding on such party. The award of the arbitral tribunal shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto, and the prevailing party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award. Any party to the Dispute shall be entitled to seek preliminary injunctive relief, if possible, from any court of competent jurisdiction pending the constitution of the arbitral tribunal. During the course of the arbitral tribunal’s adjudication of the Dispute, this Agreement shall continue to be performed except with respect to the part in dispute and under adjudication.

11.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any counterpart or signature of a party delivered by facsimile, email or similar electronic transmission pursuant to which the signature of (or on behalf of) such party can be seen shall be deemed for all purposes as being a good and valid execution and delivery of this Agreement by such party.

11.6 Headings. The section headings of this Agreement are for convenience and shall not by themselves determine the interpretation of this Agreement.

11.7 Notices. Except as may be otherwise provided herein, any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be conclusively deemed effectively given (i) upon personal delivery, (ii) upon delivery by overnight courier, or (iii) five (5) days after deposit in the mail, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed (a) if to the Company, to its principal office, and (b) if to a Shareholder, to such Shareholder’s address as is on file with the records of the Company, or at such other address as the parties may designate by a ten (10) days’ advance written notice to the other parties.

11.8 Amendment of Agreement. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Shareholders holding at least 75% of the then issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares held by all Shareholders (which Shareholders must include Tencent); provided that any provision herein that expressly requires the consent of a higher threshold of Ordinary Shares may not be amended except with the consent of such higher threshold of Ordinary Shares. In addition, any amendment, waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement that would materially and adversely affect any Shareholder in a manner that is disparate from the manner in which it affects other Shareholders may be effected only with the written consent of the Shareholder so affected. Any amendment or modification to Section 4.2(a) may be effected only with the written consent of the Key Management.

11.9 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary, the provisions of this Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns and be binding upon each Shareholder and each Shareholder’s legal representatives, heirs, legatees, distributees, assigns and transferees by operation of Law, whether or not any such person has become a party to this Agreement or has agreed in writing to join herein and to be bound by the terms, conditions and restrictions hereof. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective permitted successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. No party may assign any rights or delegate any obligations hereunder except in connection with the Transfer of Company Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

11.10 Expenses. Each party shall bear its own expenses, including legal fees, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

11.11 Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party, upon any breach or default of another party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such first party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party shall be cumulative and not alternative.

11.12 Confidentiality.

(a) The existence, terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Spotify Subscription Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the Tencent Transaction Documents and any information received by any Shareholder pursuant to Section 9 (Information Rights) or any other confidential information, knowledge or data concerning or relating to the business or financial affairs of the Company to which such Shareholder has been or shall become privy by reason of this Agreement or the other

-44-

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

Transaction Documents, discussions or negotiations relating to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, and the performance of its obligations hereunder or thereunder (collectively, the “Confidential Information”) shall be considered confidential information and shall not be disclosed by any party to any third party except in accordance with the provisions set forth below; provided that such Confidential Information shall not include any information that is in the public domain other than by reason of the breach of the confidentiality obligations hereunder.

(b) Each party may disclose the existence of the transactions contemplated under the Tencent Subscription Agreement and the other Tencent Transaction Documents in a press release jointly approved by the Company, Tencent and the Shareholders holding at least 66.7% of the then issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. No other announcement regarding any of the Confidential Information in a press release, conference, advertisement, announcement, professional or trade publication, mass marketing materials or otherwise to the general public may be made without the prior written consent of the Company, Tencent and the Shareholders holding at least 66.7% of the then issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares held by all Shareholders.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party may disclose any of the Confidential Information to its current or bona fide prospective investors, permitted assignees or transferees, directors, officers, shareholders, employees, investment bankers, lenders, partners, accountants and attorneys, in each case only where such persons or entities are under appropriate nondisclosure obligations.

(d) In the event that any party is requested or becomes legally compelled (including, without limitation, pursuant to securities laws and regulations and other applicable laws and stock exchange rules) to disclose any Confidential Information in contravention of the provisions of this Section 11.12 (Confidentiality), such party (the “Disclosing Party”) shall provide the Company and any other Party to whom such Confidential Information relates (the “Non-Disclosing Parties”) with prompt written notice of that fact and use all reasonable efforts to seek (with the cooperation and reasonable efforts of the other parties) a protective order, confidential treatment or other appropriate remedy. In such event, the Disclosing Party shall furnish only that portion of the information which is requested or legally required to be disclosed and shall exercise reasonable efforts to keep confidential such information to the extent reasonably requested by any Non-Disclosing Party.

(e) The provisions of this Section 11.12 (Confidentiality) shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, the provisions of any separate nondisclosure agreement executed by any of the parties hereto.

(f) All notices required under this section shall be made pursuant to Section 11.7 (Notices) of this Agreement.

11.13 Specific Performance. Each of the parties hereto recognizes and acknowledges that a breach by it of any covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement will cause the other parties to sustain damage for which they would not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages, and therefore each of the parties hereto agrees that in the event of any such breach the aggrieved parties shall be entitled to the remedy of specific performance of such covenants and agreements and injunctive and other equitable relief in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law or in equity.

-45-

11.14 Parties in Interest. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, a person who is not a party to this Agreement shall not have any rights under the Contracts (Right of Third Parties) Ordinance (Chapter 623, Laws of Hong Kong) to enforce any terms of this Agreement. This does not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists, or is available, apart from the Contracts (Right of Third Parties) Ordinance.

[Addressee Name

Addressee Address]

Dear Sir or Madam

TENCENT MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT GROUP

We have been asked to provide this legal opinion to you with regard to the laws of the Cayman Islands in relation to the Documents (as defined in Schedule 1) being entered into by Tencent Music Entertainment Group (the “Company”).

For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the originals, copies or translations of the documents listed in Schedule 1.

In giving this opinion we have relied upon the assumptions set out in Schedule 2, which we have not independently verified.

We are Cayman Islands Attorneys at Law and express no opinion as to any laws other than the laws of the Cayman Islands in force and as interpreted at the date of this opinion. We have not, for the purposes of this opinion, made any investigation of the laws, rules or regulations of any other jurisdiction. Except as explicitly stated herein, we express no opinion in relation to any representation or warranty contained in the Documents nor upon matters of fact or the commercial terms of the transactions contemplated by the Documents.

Based upon the foregoing examinations and assumptions and upon such searches as we have conducted and having regard to legal considerations which we consider relevant, and subject to the qualifications set out in Schedule 3, and under the laws of the Cayman Islands, we give the following opinions in relation to the matters set out below.

1.	The Company is an exempted company duly incorporated with limited liability, validly existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands and in good standing with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands (the “Registrar”).

2.	The Company has full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations under the Documents.

3.	The Documents to which the Company is a party have been duly authorised and executed and, when delivered by the Company, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83


WALKERS		Page 2

4.	The execution, delivery and performance of the Documents to which the Company is a party, the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby and the compliance by the Company with the terms and provisions thereof do not:

(a)

contravene any law, public rule or regulation of the Cayman Islands applicable to the Company which is currently in force; or

(b)

contravene the Memorandum and Articles (as defined in Schedule 1).

Neither:

(a)

the execution, delivery or performance of any of the Documents to which the Company is a party; nor

(b)

the consummation or performance of any of the transactions contemplated thereby by the Company,

requires the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, or the registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect of any Cayman Islands governmental or judicial authority or agency.

6.	The law (if any) chosen in each of the Documents to which the Company is a party to govern its interpretation would be upheld as a valid choice of law in any action on that Document in the courts of the Cayman Islands (the “Courts” and each a “Court”).

Save as set out in qualification 2 in Schedule 3, there are no stamp duties, income taxes, withholdings, levies, registration taxes, or other duties or similar taxes or charges now imposed, or which under the present laws of the Cayman Islands could in the future become imposed, in connection with the enforcement or admissibility in evidence of the Documents or on any payment to be made by the Company or any other person pursuant to the Documents. The Cayman Islands currently have no form of income, corporate or capital gains tax and no estate duty, inheritance tax or gift tax.

8.	None of the parties to the Documents is or will be deemed to be resident, domiciled or carrying on business in the Cayman Islands by reason only of the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Documents to which any of them is party.

A judgment obtained in a foreign court (other than certain judgments of a superior court of any state of the Commonwealth of Australia) will be recognised and enforced in the Courts without any re-examination of the merits at common law, by an action commenced on the foreign judgment in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands (the “Grand Court”), where the judgment:

(a)

is final and conclusive;

(b)

is one in respect of which the foreign court had jurisdiction over the defendant according to Cayman Islands conflict of law rules;

(c)

is either for a liquidated sum not in respect of penalties or taxes or a fine or similar fiscal or revenue obligations or, in certain circumstances, for in personam non-money relief (following Bandone Sdn Bhd v Sol Properties Inc. [2008] CILR 301); and

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83


WALKERS		Page 3

(d)

was neither obtained in a manner, nor is of a kind enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands.

10.	It is not necessary under the laws of the Cayman Islands that any of the Documents be registered or recorded in any public office or elsewhere in the Cayman Islands in order to ensure the validity or enforceability of any of the Documents.

11.	It is not necessary under the laws of the Cayman Islands:

(a)

in order to enable any party to any of the Documents to enforce their rights under the Documents; or

(b)

solely by reason of the execution, delivery and performance of the Documents,

that any party to any of the Documents should be licensed, qualified or otherwise entitled to carry on business in the Cayman Islands or any other political subdivision thereof.

12.

Based solely upon our examination of the Court Register (as defined in Schedule 1) we confirm that at the Search Time (as defined in Schedule 1) there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending against the Company before the Grand Court and no steps have been, or are being, taken compulsorily to wind up the Company.

13.	In relation to the ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.000083 each in the capital of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”):

(a)

[Number] Ordinary Shares (the “Subscription Shares”) have been duly authorised and were validly allotted and issued to Spotify AB (“S AB”) on [Date] and, when paid for in accordance with the terms of the Documents for the consideration expressed therein, will be fully paid and without obligation to make further payment to the Company in respect of the issue of the Subscription Shares.

(b)

the Subscription Shares carry such rights as are attributed to them in the Memorandum and Articles and the Documents.

This opinion is limited to the matters referred to herein and shall not be construed as extending to any other matter or document not referred to herein. This opinion is given solely for your benefit and the benefit of your legal advisers acting in that capacity in relation to this transaction and may not be relied upon by any other person without our prior written consent.

We agree that a copy of this opinion may be disclosed to (1) the professional advisers (including, without limitation, auditors) of the Addressee (acting in that capacity in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Documents) (the “Addressee’s Advisers”) and (2) specified persons if required by law or regulation or in connection with any actual or potential dispute or claim to which the Addressee is a party in relation to the Documents (the “Specified Persons”) and their advisers, in each case for information purposes only, in circumstances

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83


WALKERS		Page 4

where they wish to know that an opinion has been given and to be made aware of its terms, on the strict understanding that:

the Addressee’s Advisers and the Specified Persons and their advisers may not rely on this opinion for their own benefit or for the benefit of any persons; and

we assume no responsibility or legal liability to them as a result of such disclosure or otherwise.

This opinion shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands.

Yours faithfully

WALKERS

SCHEDULE 2

ASSUMPTIONS

There are no provisions of the laws of any jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands which would be contravened by the execution or delivery of the Documents and, insofar as any obligation expressed to be incurred under the Documents is to be performed in or is otherwise subject to the laws of any jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands, its performance will not be illegal by virtue of the laws of that jurisdiction.

2.	The Documents are within the capacity, power, and legal right of, and have been or will be duly authorised, executed and delivered by, each of the parties thereto (other than the Company).

3.	The Documents constitute or, when executed and delivered, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of each of the parties thereto enforceable in accordance with their terms as a matter of the laws of all relevant jurisdictions (other than the Cayman Islands).

4.	The choice of the laws of the jurisdiction selected to govern each of the Documents has been made in good faith and will be regarded as a valid and binding selection which will be upheld in the courts of that jurisdiction and all relevant jurisdictions (other than the Cayman Islands).

All authorisations, approvals, consents, licences and exemptions required by, and all filings and other steps required of each of the parties to the Documents outside the Cayman Islands to ensure the legality, validity and enforceability of the Documents have been or will be duly obtained, made or fulfilled and are and will remain in full force and effect and any conditions to which they are subject have been satisfied.

6.	All conditions precedent, if any, contained in the Documents have been or will be satisfied or waived.

7.	The Board of Directors of the Company considers the execution of the Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby to be in the best interests of the Company.

8.	No disposition of property effected by the Documents is made for an improper purpose or wilfully to defeat an obligation owed to a creditor and at an undervalue.

The Company was on the date of execution of the Documents to which it is a party able to pay its debts as they became due from its own moneys, and any disposition or settlement of property effected by any of the Documents is made in good faith and for valuable consideration and at the time of each disposition of property by the Company pursuant to the Documents the Company will be able to pay its debts as they become due from its own moneys.

10.

The originals of all documents examined in connection with this opinion are authentic. The signatures, initials and seals on the Documents are genuine and are those of a person or persons given power to execute the Documents under the Resolutions or any power of attorney given by the Company to execute the Documents. All documents purporting to be sealed have been so sealed. All copies are complete and conform to their originals. Any translations are a true translation of the original document they purport to translate. The Documents conform in every material respect to the latest drafts of the same produced to us and, where provided in successive drafts, have been marked up to indicate all changes to such Documents.

11.

Any Document was either executed as a single physical document (whether in counterpart or not) in full and final form or, where any Document was executed by or on behalf of any company, body corporate or corporate entity, the relevant signature page was attached to such Document by, or on behalf of, the relevant person or otherwise with such person’s express or implied authority.

WALKERS		Page 7

12.	The Memorandum and Articles are the memorandum and articles of association of the Company and are in force at the date hereof.

13.	The Company Records are complete and accurate and all matters required by law and the Memorandum and Articles to be recorded therein are completely and accurately so recorded.

14.

There are no records of the Company (other than the Company Records), agreements, documents or arrangements other than the documents expressly referred to herein as having been examined by us which materially affect, amend or vary the transactions envisaged in the Documents or restrict the powers and authority of the Directors of the Company in any way or which would affect any opinion given herein.

15.

The Resolutions have been duly executed (and where by a corporate entity such execution has been duly authorised if so required) by or on behalf of each Director, or by or on behalf of each member in respect of the member resolutions, and the signatures and initials thereon are those of a person or persons in whose name the Resolutions have been expressed to be signed.

16.	The Resolutions and any power of attorney given by the Company to execute the Documents remain in full force and effect and have not been revoked or varied.

17.	No resolution voluntarily to wind up the Company has been adopted by the members and no event of a type which is specified in the Memorandum and Articles as giving rise to the winding up of the Company (if any) has in fact occurred.

18.

No amounts paid to or for the account of any party under the Documents or any property received or disposed of by any party to the Documents in each case in connection with the performance of the Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (any such amount or property, the “Relevant Property”), represent or will represent proceeds of criminal conduct, criminal property or terrorist property as defined in the Proceeds of Crime Law (2017 Revision) or the Terrorism Law (2017 Revision) (the “Terrorism Law”), each of the Cayman Islands.

19.

As a matter of all relevant laws (other than the laws of the Cayman Islands), any power of attorney given by the Company to execute the Documents has been duly executed by the Company and constitutes the persons named therein as the duly appointed attorney of the Company with such authority as is specified therein.

20.	As a matter of all relevant laws (other than the laws of the Cayman Islands) none of the Documents constitute a security interest.

SCHEDULE 3

QUALIFICATIONS

The term “enforceable” and its cognates as used in this opinion means that the obligations assumed by any party under the Documents are of a type which the Courts enforce. This does not mean that those obligations will necessarily be enforced in all circumstances in accordance with their terms. In particular:

(a)

enforcement of obligations and the priority of obligations may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganisation, readjustment of debts or moratorium and other laws of general application relating to or affecting the rights of creditors or by prescription or lapse of time;

(b)

enforcement may be limited by general principles of equity and, in particular, the availability of certain equitable remedies such as injunction or specific performance of an obligation may be limited where a Court considers damages to be an adequate remedy;

(c)

claims may become barred under statutes of limitation or may be or become subject to defences of set-off, counterclaim, estoppel and similar defences;

(d)

where obligations are to be performed in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands, they may not be enforceable in the Cayman Islands to the extent that performance would be illegal under the laws of, or contrary to the public policy of, that jurisdiction;

(e)

a judgment of a Court may be required to be made in Cayman Islands dollars;

(f)

to the extent that any provision of the Documents is adjudicated to be penal in nature, it will not be enforceable in the Courts; in particular, the enforceability of any provision of the Documents that is adjudicated to constitute a secondary obligation which imposes a detriment on the contract-breaker out of all proportion to any legitimate interest of the innocent party in the enforcement of the primary obligation may be limited;

(g)

to the extent that the performance of any obligation arising under the Documents would be fraudulent or contrary to public policy, it will not be enforceable in the Courts;

(h)

in the case of an insolvent liquidation of the Company, its liabilities are required to be translated into the functional currency of the Company (being the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operated as at the commencement of the liquidation) at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of commencement of the voluntary liquidation or the day on which the winding up order is made (as the case may be);

(i)

a Court will not necessarily award costs in litigation in accordance with contractual provisions in this regard;

(j)

the effectiveness of terms in the Documents excusing any party from a liability or duty otherwise owed or indemnifying that party from the consequences of incurring such liability or breaching such duty shall be construed in accordance with, and shall be limited by, applicable law, including generally applicable rules and principles of common law and equity.

2.	Cayman Islands stamp duty will be payable on any Document if it is executed in or brought to the Cayman Islands, or produced before a Court.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83


WALKERS		Page 9

A certificate, determination, calculation or designation of any party to the Documents as to any matter provided therein might be held by a Court not to be conclusive, final and binding, notwithstanding any provision to that effect therein contained, for example if it could be shown to have an unreasonable, arbitrary or improper basis or in the event of manifest error.

4.	If any provision of the Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, severance of such provision from the remaining provisions will be subject to the discretion of the Courts notwithstanding any express provisions in this regard.

Every conveyance or transfer of property, or charge thereon, and every payment obligation and judicial proceeding, made, incurred, taken or suffered by a company at a time when that company was unable to pay its debts within the meaning of section 93 of the Companies Law (2016 Revision) of the Cayman Islands (the “Companies Law”), and made or granted in favour of a creditor with a view to giving that creditor a preference over the other creditors of the company, would be invalid pursuant to section 145(1) of the Companies Law, if made, incurred, taken or suffered within the six months preceding the commencement of a liquidation of that company. Such actions will be deemed to have been made with a view to giving such creditor a preference if it is a “related party” of the company. A creditor shall be treated as a related party if it has the ability to control the company or exercise significant influence over the company in making financial and operating decisions.

6.	Any disposition of property made at an undervalue by or on behalf of a company and with an intent to defraud its creditors (which means an intention to wilfully defeat an obligation owed to a creditor), shall be voidable:

(a)

under section 146(2) of the Companies Law at the instance of the company’s official liquidator; and

(b)

under the Fraudulent Dispositions Law (1996 Revision) of the Cayman Islands, at the instance of a creditor thereby prejudiced,

provided that in either case, no such action may be commenced more than six years after the date of the relevant disposition.

If any business of a company has been carried on with intent to defraud creditors of the company or creditors of any other person or for any fraudulent purpose, the Court may declare that any persons who were knowingly parties to the carrying on of the business of the company in such manner are liable to make such contributions, if any, to the company’s assets as the Court thinks proper.

8.	Notwithstanding any purported date of execution in any of the Documents, the rights and obligations therein contained take effect only on the actual execution and delivery thereof but the Documents may provide that they have retrospective effect as between the parties thereto alone.

9.	The obligations of the Company may be subject to restrictions pursuant to United Nations sanctions and/or measures adopted by the European Union Council for Common Foreign & Security Policy extended to the Cayman Islands by the Order of Her Majesty in Council.

10.	Under the laws of the Cayman Islands, persons who are not party to a Document have no direct rights or obligations under such Document unless:

(a)

such Document expressly provides in writing that such persons may in their own right enforce a term of such Document under The Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Law, 2014 of the Cayman Islands;

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83


WALKERS		Page 10

(b)

they are persons acting pursuant to powers contained in a deed poll; or

(c)

they are beneficiaries under properly constituted trusts.

11.

Our opinion as to good standing is based solely upon receipt of the Certificate of Good Standing issued by the Registrar. The Company shall be deemed to be in good standing under section 200A of the Companies Law on the date of issue of the certificate if all fees and penalties under the Companies Law have been paid and the Registrar has no knowledge that the Company is in default under the Companies Law.

12.	The Court Register may not reveal whether any out of court appointment of a liquidator or a receiver has occurred. The Court Register may not constitute a complete record of the proceedings before the Grand Court as at the Search Time including for the following reasons:

(a)

it may not reveal whether any documents filed subsequently to an originating process by which new causes of action and/or new parties are or may be added (including amended pleadings, counterclaims and third party notices) have been filed with the Grand Court;

(b)

it may not reveal any originating process (including a winding up petition) in respect of the Company in circumstances where the Court has prior to the issuance of such process ordered that such process upon issuance be anonymised (whether on a temporary basis or otherwise);

(c)

it may not be updated every day;

(d)

documents may have been removed from it, or may not have been placed on it, where an order has been made to that effect in a particular cause or matter; and

(e)

it may not reveal any orders made ex parte on an urgent basis where the originating process is issued subsequently pursuant to an undertaking given to the Court at the time the order is made.

13.	We express no opinion upon any provisions in the Memorandum and Articles or any document which contains a reference to any law or statute that is not a Cayman Islands law or statute.

14.	We express no opinion upon the effectiveness of any clause of the Documents which provides that the terms of such Document may only be amended in writing.

15.	We render no opinion as to the specific enforcement as against the Company of covenants granted by the Company to do or to omit to do any action or other matter which is reserved by applicable law or the Company’s constitutional documents to the Company’s members or any other person.

16.

Based on the decision in the English case of Xxxxxxxxxxx v City of Glasgow Bank (1880) 5 App Cas 317 HL, in the event of a misrepresentation by a company on which a member relied in agreeing to subscribe for shares in such company, the member may be entitled to rescind the share subscription agreement and thereafter claim damages against such company for any additional loss suffered as a result of the misrepresentation. Such a claim for damages will not arise unless and until the member has successfully rescinded the share subscription agreement. A member may be barred from rescinding on the grounds of delay or affirmation and if such company is wound up (whether voluntarily or compulsorily), such member will lose the right to rescind the share subscription agreement.

17.	Where a document provides for an exclusive or non-exclusive jurisdiction clause submitting (or permitting the submission) to the jurisdiction of the Courts, a Court may decline to accept jurisdiction in any matter where:

(a)

it determines that some other jurisdiction is a more appropriate or convenient forum;

18.

Where a document provides for an exclusive jurisdiction clause submitting to a jurisdiction of a court other than the Courts, notwithstanding any provision of the document providing for the exclusive jurisdiction of a court other than the Courts, the Court may, if it is satisfied that it is just and equitable to allow such proceedings to continue in the Cayman Islands:

grant leave to serve Cayman Islands proceedings out of the Cayman Islands.

The Company may be required to submit (or to cause to be submitted on its behalf) a notification and report to the Cayman Islands Department for International Tax Cooperation to ensure compliance with any obligations it may have under the laws of the Cayman Islands relating to the automatic exchange of financial account information.

14.

Shares, voting rights in a Cayman Islands’ company or the right to appoint or remove a majority of directors of a Cayman Islands’ company (a “Relevant Interest”) will be affected by a restrictions notice issued by such company pursuant to the Companies Law (a “Restrictions Notice”). If a Restrictions Notice is issued, then in respect of such Relevant Interest: any transfer or agreement to transfer shall be void; no rights shall be exercisable; no additional shares may be issued in respect of the Relevant Interest or pursuant to an offer made to the interest holder; and, except in a liquidation, an agreement to transfer certain rights shall be void.

15.	No Restrictions Notice is permitted to be issued in relation to a Relevant Interest if it is subject to a security interest granted to a third party who is not affiliated with the person who holds such Relevant Interest.

PROJECT TENCENT

Dear Xxxxx, dear Sir,

We have acted as legal advisors to the Company in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg in connection with the Contractual Documents. We have taken instructions exclusively from the Company and we are addressing this Opinion to you at the request of the Company; we therefore expressly reserve the right to represent and advise the Company in relation to the Contractual Documents now and in the future. We are not your legal advisors and nothing in this Opinion should be read as implying that we owe you any duty of care in relation to the Contractual Documents.

1.	In arriving at the opinions expressed below, we have examined and relied exclusively on the Documents.

Capitalised terms used herein are defined in appendix A.

A reference to a convention, law or regulation herein is to be construed as a reference to such convention, law and regulation as the same may have been amended or re-enacted.

This Opinion is limited to Luxembourg Law. Accordingly, we express no opinion with regard to any system of law other than Luxembourg Law. We express no opinion (a) on public international law or on the rules promulgated under any treaty or by any treaty organisation or on any accounting, criminal or tax laws or regulations of any jurisdiction (including Luxembourg), except as specifically set out herein and (b) with regard to the effect of any systems of law other than Luxembourg Law even in cases where, under Luxembourg Law, any foreign law or regulation should be applied, and we therefore assume that no provisions of any foreign law or regulation would affect, qualify or have any bearing on this Opinion.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

We express no opinion as to whether any representations and warranties set out in the Contractual Documents (other than representations and warranties as to matters of Luxembourg Law on which we express an opinion herein) are and will be true and accurate when made, nor do we express any opinion on the rationale of the transactions considered by, referred to in, provided for or effected by the Documents. We have not investigated or verified the accuracy of the facts (or statements of foreign law) or the reasonableness of any statements of opinion or intention contained in any of the Documents, or verified that no material facts or provisions have been omitted therefrom, save if any such matter is the subject of a specific opinion herein, and we do not have detailed knowledge of the transactions considered by, referred to in, provided for or effected by the Documents nor of any documents other than the Documents even if referred to in the Documents.

4.	For the purpose of this Opinion we have assumed:

4.1.	the genuineness of all signatures, seals and stamps on any of the Documents and the completeness and conformity to originals of the Documents submitted to us as certified, photostatic, faxed, scanned or e-mailed copies;

4.2.	the conformity to the signed originals of the Contractual Documents examined by us in draft or execution form only and that, to the extent made, any completion and/or amendment of such draft or execution forms does not affect, qualify or have any bearing on this Opinion;

4.3.	that the Contractual Documents have been signed and entered into by each of the parties thereto in the form examined by us and substantially in the form approved by the board of directors of the Company in the Resolutions;

4.4.

that, in respect of the Contractual Documents and each of the transactions contemplated by, referred to in, provided for or effected by the Documents, (a) the parties to the Contractual Documents entered into the same in good faith and for the purpose of carrying out their business, on arms’ length commercial terms, without any intention to defraud or deprive of any legal benefit any other persons (such as third parties and, in particular, creditors) or to circumvent any applicable mandatory laws or regulations of any jurisdiction, (b) the entry into the Contractual Documents and the performance of any rights and obligations thereunder are in the best corporate interest (intérêt social) of the Company and (c) the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability of the Contractual Documents on each party is not affected by any matter or factual circumstance such as fraud, coercion, duress, undue influence or mistake;

4.5.	the absence of any other arrangements between any of the parties to the Contractual Documents which modify or supersede any of the terms of the Contractual Documents;

4.6.

that the Company does not meet the criteria for the opening of any insolvency proceedings such as bankruptcy (faillite), insolvency, winding-up, liquidation, moratorium, controlled management (gestion contrôlée), suspension of payment (sursis de paiement), voluntary arrangement with creditors (concordat préventif de la faillite), fraudulent conveyance, general settlement with creditors, reorganisation or similar order or proceedings affecting the rights of creditors generally;

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

4.7.	that the Corporate Documents are true, complete, up-to-date and have not been rescinded, supplemented or amended in any way since the date thereof; that no other corporate documents exist which would have a bearing on this Opinion; and that all statements contained therein are true and correct;

4.8.

that the resolutions of the board directors were properly taken as reflected in the Resolutions, that the meeting of the board of directors of the Company was properly convened for the purpose of adopting the Resolutions, that each director has properly performed his duties and that all provisions relating to the declaration of opposite interests or the power of the interested directors to vote were fully observed;

4.9.	that the individuals purported to have signed the Documents have in fact signed such Documents and that these individuals had legal capacity when they signed;

4.10.

that the head office (administration centrale) and the place of effective management (siège de direction effective) of the Company are located at the place of its registered office (siège statutaire) in Luxembourg; that, for the purposes of the Insolvency Regulation, the centre of main interests (centre des intérêts principaux) of the Company is located at the place of its registered office (siège statutaire) in Luxembourg;

4.11.

that during the search made on [date] on the RESA and in the Mémorial, the information published regarding the Company was complete, up-to-date and accurate at the time of such search and has not been modified since such search;

4.12.

that the Company has complied with all legal requirements of the Domiciliation Law or, if the Company rents office space, that the premises rented by the Company meet the factual criteria set out in the circulars issued by the CSSF in connection with the Domiciliation Law;

4.13.

that the choice of the laws of the State of New York to govern the Contractual Documents and the submission of the Contractual Documents to the arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce with regard to any disputes under the Contractual Documents is legal, valid, binding and enforceable under the laws of the State of New York and that such choice and submission would be recognised by the courts of any jurisdiction (other than the courts of Luxembourg);

4.14.

that the Contractual Documents are legal, valid, binding and enforceable in accordance with their terms under the laws of the State of New York.

5.	This Opinion is given on the basis that it will be governed by and construed in accordance with Luxembourg Law and will be subject to Luxembourg jurisdiction only.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

On the basis of the assumptions set out above and subject to the qualifications set out below and to any factual matters, documents or events not disclosed to us, we are of the opinion that:

5.1.	The Company is a société anonyme duly incorporated before a Luxembourg notary for an unlimited duration and validly existing under Luxembourg Law.

5.2.

According to, and based solely on, the Non-Registration Certificate, on [date preceding the date of the certificate] none of the following judicial decisions has been recorded with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies’ Register with respect to the Company: (a) judgments or decisions pertaining to the opening of insolvency proceedings (faillite), (b) judgments or court orders approving a voluntary arrangement with creditors (concordat préventif de la faillite), (c) court orders pertaining to a suspension of payments (sursis de paiement), (d) judicial decisions regarding controlled management (gestion contrôlée), (e) judicial decisions pronouncing its dissolution or deciding on its liquidation, (f) judicial decisions regarding the appointment of an interim administrator (administrateur provisoire), or (g) judicial decisions taken by foreign judicial authorities concerning insolvency, voluntary arrangements or any similar proceedings in accordance with the Insolvency Regulation.

5.3.	The Company has the necessary corporate power and authority under the Articles of Association to execute and deliver the Contractual Documents and perform its obligations thereunder.

5.4.

The Company has taken all necessary corporate action to duly and validly authorise and approve the execution and delivery of the Contractual Documents to which it is a party, the performance of its obligations thereunder and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby, and no other corporate or other similar action on the part of the Company is necessary to authorise and approve the execution and delivery of the Contractual Documents to which it is a party, the performance of its obligations thereunder and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated thereby.

5.5.	The Contractual Documents have been duly and validly executed and delivered on behalf of the Company in accordance with Luxembourg Law, the Articles of Association and the Resolutions.

5.6.

The execution of the Contractual Documents by the Company and the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Contractual Documents do not violate or conflict with any provision of its Articles of Association, the Companies Law or Luxembourg international public policy (ordre public international).

5.7.

In any proceedings instituted in Luxembourg for the enforcement of any provisions of the Contractual Documents which are stipulated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York, the choice of the laws of the State of New York law as the governing law thereof will be recognised by the courts of Luxembourg subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Rome I Regulation.

5.8.

As regards the arbitration clause in the Contractual Documents, the courts of Luxembourg will recognize and declare enforceable any final and conclusive civil or commercial arbitral award duly rendered in relation to the Contractual Documents, subject to Articles 1224 et seq. of the Luxembourg Nouveau Code de Procédure Civile and/or to the New York Convention.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

5.9.	Based on the Corporate Documents, all Shares (including the shares that the Company issued to TME HK) issued and outstanding on [insert date of Closing] are duly authorised, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (non susceptible d’appels de versement).

5.10.

It is not necessary under Luxembourg Law that the Contractual Documents be filed, recorded or enrolled with any court or other authority in Luxembourg or that any stamp, registration or similar tax be paid on or in relation to the Contractual Documents.

5.11.

Non-Luxembourg parties to the Contractual Documents will not become resident in Luxembourg, or be deemed to be resident or otherwise subject to tax filings in Luxembourg (except as expressly stated in this Opinion) by reason only of the entry into or the performance of the Contractual Documents.

5.12.

It is not necessary under Luxembourg Law that the non-Luxembourg parties to the Contractual Documents be authorised, licensed, qualified or otherwise entitled to carry on business in Luxembourg or establish a place of business in Luxembourg for the entry into and performance of the Contractual Documents.

6.	The opinions expressed above are subject to the following qualifications:

6.1.

Luxembourg legal concepts are expressed in English terms and not in their original French terms. The concepts in question may not be identical to the concepts described by the same English terms as they exist in the laws and regulations of other jurisdictions. This Opinion may, therefore, only be relied on upon the express condition that any issues of interpretation or liability arising hereunder be governed by Luxembourg Law only and be brought exclusively before a court in Luxembourg;

6.2.

the opinions set out above are subject to all limitations by reason of national or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, winding-up, liquidation, moratorium, controlled management, suspension of payment, voluntary arrangement with creditors, fraudulent conveyance, general settlement with creditors, reorganisation or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally;

6.3.

Luxembourg international public policy (ordre public international) includes the fundamental concepts of Luxembourg Law which Luxembourg courts may deem to be of such significance so as to exclude the application of a foreign law or the recognition of a foreign judgement deemed to be contrary in its results to such fundamental concepts. Luxembourg international public policy is a matter which is constantly evolving on the basis of the position of Luxembourg courts with respect to cases they treat. Accordingly, there are uncertainties as to what is considered as international public policy under Luxembourg law. There is no closed end list of provisions that are considered to be contrary to Luxembourg international public policy and there is only limited published case law on this matter;

6.4.

the Non-Registration Certificate does not determine conclusively whether or not the judicial decisions referred to therein have occurred. In particular, it is not possible to determine whether any petition has been filed with a court or any similar action has been taken against or on behalf of the Company regarding the opening of insolvency proceedings (faillite), suspension of payments (sursis de paiement), controlled management (gestion contrôlée) or voluntary arrangements that the

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

Company would have entered into with their creditors (concordat préventif de la faillite), judicial decisions regarding the appointment of an interim administrator (administrateur provisoire), or judicial decisions taken by foreign judicial authorities concerning insolvency, voluntary arrangements or any similar proceedings in accordance with the Insolvency Regulation. The Non-Registration Certificate only mentions such proceedings if a judicial decision was rendered further to such a request, and if such judicial decision was recorded with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies’ Register on the date referred to in the Non-Registration Certificate;

6.5.	judicial decisions taken in any jurisdiction in which the Insolvency Regulation is not applicable are not subject to mandatory registration with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies’ Register;

6.6.

deeds (actes) or extracts of deeds (extraits d’actes) and other indications relating to the Company and which, under Luxembourg Law, must be published on the RESA (and which mainly concern acts relating to the incorporation, the functioning, the appointment of directors/managers and liquidation/insolvency of the Company as well as amendments, if any, to the articles of association of the Company) will only be enforceable against third parties after they have been published on the RESA except where such third parties had previously knowledge thereof. Such third parties may rely on deeds or extracts of deeds prior to their publication. For the fifteen days following the publication, these deeds or extracts of deeds will not be enforceable against third parties who prove that it was impossible for them to have knowledge thereof.

6.7.

there may be a lapse between the filing of a document and its actual publication on the RESA. Furthermore, filings made with the Luxembourg Trade and Companies’ Register prior to the year 2000 will not be available on its website; the results of our search on the website of the Luxembourg Trade and Companies’ Register is therefore limited to documents filed from the year 2000 onwards;

6.8.

the non-compliance by the Company with criminal law or the provisions of the commercial code or the laws governing commercial companies including the requirement to file with the Trade and Companies’ Register its annual accounts may trigger the application of Article 203 of the Companies Law according to which the District Court (Tribunal d’Arrondissement) dealing with commercial matters may, at the request of the Public Prosecutor (Procureur d’Etat), order the dissolution and liquidation of the Company;

6.9.

If the Contractual Documents (i) are voluntarily presented to the registration formalities or (ii) are appended to a document that requires mandatory registration, a registration (“droit d’enregistrement”) duty will be due, the amount of which will depend on the nature of the document to be registered;

6.10.

the rights and obligations of the parties to the Contractual Documents may be affected by criminal investigations or prosecution;

6.11.

the Luxembourg courts would not apply a chosen foreign law if the choice was not pleaded and proved;

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY SPOTIFY TECHNOLOGY S.A. PURSUANT TO 17 CFR 200.83

6.12.

notwithstanding arbitration clauses, Luxembourg courts would have in principle jurisdiction for any summary proceedings (référé) in connection with assets located in Luxembourg;

6.13.

Luxembourg has on the basis of reciprocity declared that it will apply the New York Convention only to the recognition and enforcement of awards made in the territory of another contracting State;

6.14.

except as set out in opinions 5.7 and 5.8, we express no opinion with respect to the validity and/or enforceability and/or performance of the obligations under the Contractual Documents, which we have not reviewed in this respect.

7.	This Opinion speaks as of the date hereof. No obligation is assumed to update this Opinion or to inform any person of any changes of law or other matters coming to our knowledge and occurring after the date hereof which may affect this Opinion in any respect.

This Opinion is addressed to you solely for your benefit and solely for the purpose of the Contractual Documents. It is not to be transmitted to any other person, nor to be relied upon by any other person, verified or for any other purpose quoted or referred to in any public document or filed with any governmental agency or other person without our prior written consent. This Opinion is strictly limited to the matters stated herein and does not extend to, and is not to be read as extending by implication to, any agreement or document referred to in the Contractual Documents or otherwise.

9.	We consent to the disclosure of this Opinion by the Addressee to:

•

to its affiliates, auditors and advisors (but solely in connection with this transaction); and

•

any person to whom disclosure is required by (i) law or mandatory rules or regulations of any competent supervisory or regulatory proceedings;

on the basis that (a) such disclosure is made solely to enable any such person to be informed that this Opinion has been given and to be made aware of its terms but not for the purposes of reliance, (b) we do not assume any duty or liability to any person to whom such disclosure is made and (c) (other than in relation to disclosure under point (iii) or unless such person is otherwise bound by requirements of confidentiality) such person agrees not to further disclose this Opinion or its contents to any other person, other than as permitted above, without our prior written consent.

10.	This Opinion is issued by and signed on behalf of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx XX, admitted to practice in Luxembourg and registered on the list V of lawyers of the Luxembourg bar association.

Yours faithfully,

By and on behalf of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx XX
