- 10 -
| 2.5.4 | the Purchaser I shall be under no obligation to register the Consideration Shares for resale under the Securities Act. |
| 2.6 | Notwithstanding the transfer restrictions set forth herein, the Consideration Shares shall vest and become eligible for release in accordance with the performance-based vesting schedule set forth in this Section (the “Vesting Schedule”), contingent upon the achievement by the Subsidiary of the annual revenue targets specified below. Upon satisfaction of each applicable revenue target, the restrictions applicable to the corresponding tranche of Consideration Shares shall terminate, and such shares shall be released to Aureon Johan Co., Ltd, subject to compliance with the Securities Act, Rule 144, and any applicable Statutory Holding Period then in effect: |
| 2.6.1 | Tranche 1 (30%): Thirty percent (30%) of the Consideration Shares shall vest upon the Subsidiary achieving annual revenue equal to or exceeding Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (US$500,000) during Fiscal Year 2026; |
| 2.6.2 | Tranche 2 (30%): Thirty percent (30%) of the Consideration Shares shall vest upon the Subsidiary achieving annual revenue equal to or exceeding One Million United States Dollars (US$1,000,000) during Fiscal Year 2027; and |
| 2.6.3 | Tranche 3 (40%): Forty percent (40%) of the Consideration Shares shall vest upon the Subsidiary achieving annual revenue equal to or exceeding One Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (US$1,500,000) during Fiscal Year 2028. |
For purposes of this Clause, “annual revenue” shall mean the aggregate revenue of the Subsidiary as determined in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, consistently applied, as reflected in the audited financial statements of the Subsidiary for the applicable Fiscal Year. In the event that a revenue target is not achieved in the applicable Fiscal Year, the corresponding tranche of Consideration Shares shall remain subject to the restrictions set forth herein and shall not vest unless and until such revenue target is subsequently achieved pursuant to the cumulative catch-up mechanism set forth in Clause 2.7 or otherwise waived by the Company in writing.
Subject to Clause 2.7, in the event that the Subsidiary fails to achieve any annual revenue target set forth in the Vesting Schedule by the end of the applicable Fiscal Year, and such revenue target remains unachieved as of the conclusion of Fiscal Year 2028, the unvested portion of the Consideration Shares corresponding to such unmet revenue target shall be automatically forfeited by Aureon Johan Co., Ltd and cancelled by Purchaser I, without any further action required by any of the Parties or the Company. Such forfeiture and cancellation shall be effective as of the last day of Fiscal Year 2028, and Aureon Johan Co., Ltd shall have no further right, title, or interest in or to such forfeited Consideration Shares. The Vendor acknowledges and agrees and shall procure Aureon Johan Co., Ltd to acknowledge, agree, and accept that, upon such forfeiture and cancellation, neither the Purchasers nor the Company shall have any liability, obligation, or duty to the Vendor or Aureon Johan Co., Ltd with respect to the forfeited Consideration Shares, including without limitation any obligation to pay compensation, damages, or other amounts in lieu thereof. The Vendor hereby waives and shall procure Aureon Johan Co., Ltd to waive any and all claims against the Purchasers and the Company arising out of or relating to such forfeiture and cancellation.
- 11 -
| 2.7 | Notwithstanding the annual revenue targets set forth in Clause 2.6, the vesting of the Consideration Shares shall be subject to the cumulative catch-up mechanism set out in this Clause. In the event the revenue target for any year during the lock-up period (“Shortfall Year”) is not achieved, the portion of the Consideration Shares scheduled to vest in respect of that year shall be deferred (“Deferred Consideration Shares”). At the end of Fiscal Year 2028 (the “Review Date”), the Parties shall calculate the cumulative achievement ratio, being the aggregate revenue achieved across the three-year period divided by the Cumulative Revenue Target defined as an aggregate total of Three Million US Dollars (US$ 3,000,000) across the three-year period (the “Cumulative Achievement Ratio”). Aureon Johan Co., Ltd’s total entitlement to the Consideration Shares shall be equal to the Cumulative Achievement Ratio multiplied by the 5,000,000 Consideration Shares (the “Total Entitlement”), subject to the following conditions: |
| 2.7.1 | in no event shall the Total Entitlement exceed 5,000,000 Consideration Shares; |
| 2.7.2 | if the Cumulative Achievement Ratio exceeds 1.0, it shall be deemed to be 1.0 for the purpose of calculating the Total Entitlement; and |
| 2.7.3 | any Consideration Shares that have already vested in any prior year (including those vested because an annual revenue target was met) shall be credited against this Total Entitlement. |
| 2.8 | On the Review Date, only the remaining balance of the Deferred Consideration Shares required to reach the Total Entitlement (after crediting previously vested shares under Clause 2.7.3) shall vest. For the avoidance of doubt: |
| 2.8.1 | any Consideration Shares that vested in a prior year because the applicable annual target was achieved shall remain vested and are not subject to forfeiture, return or cancellation, even if the three-year Cumulative Achievement Ratio results in a Total Entitlement lower than the aggregate vested number of the Consideration Shares; and |
| 2.8.2 | any portion of the Consideration Shares that does not vest in accordance with the Total Entitlement calculation on the Review Date shall be immediately and automatically forfeited and cancelled for nil consideration, and the Vendor or Aureon Johan Co., Ltd shall have no further rights with respect to such shares. |
- 12 -
| 2.9 | If the Cumulative Achievement Ratio exceeds 1.0, Aureon Johan Co., Ltd shall be entitled to additional shares in Purchaser I (“Bonus Shares”). The number of Bonus Shares shall be calculated as 5,000,000 Consideration Shares multiplied by (Cumulative Achievement Ratio minus 1.0). The Bonus Shares shall be issued within one (1) month from the Review Date as “Restricted Securities” under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the Consideration Shares, including the Statutory Restrictions, except that they shall not be subject to the vesting conditions under Clauses 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8, but instead be subject to the conditions set out in Clause 2.10. |
| 2.10 | The vesting of each tranche of the Consideration Shares (including any Deferred Consideration Shares vesting on the Review Date) and the issuance of any Bonus Shares are strictly contingent upon ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s continuous service as a director of the board of the Company up to the applicable vesting or issuance date, whichever is later (the “Service Condition”) and subject to the following terms and conditions: |
| 2.10.1 | If ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ceases to be a director of the Company due to his voluntary resignation or removal for cause, any then-unvested portion of the Consideration Shares and the Deferred Consideration Shares, and any right to Bonus Shares shall be immediately and automatically forfeited and cancelled for nil consideration. |
| 2.10.2 | If the Company removes ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ as a director without cause, or ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ceases to serve as a director due to his death or permanent disability, the Service Condition shall be deemed waived with respect to the Bonus Shares and the Consideration Shares, but the vesting of the Consideration Shares shall remain subject to the achievement of the annual revenue targets in Clause 2.6 and, where applicable, the cumulative catch-up mechanism under Clauses 2.7 and 2.8. |
| 2.10.3 | For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties hereby agree that any change in ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s position, title, authority, or access to resources within the Company following a removal without cause shall not constitute a valid excuse, defense, or ground for a claim of prevention of performance regarding any failure to satisfy the annual revenue targets under Clause 2.6. |
- 13 -
| 2.11 | Any Consideration Shares that remain unvested at any given time shall be subject to the following restrictions until they vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule: |
| 2.11.1 | the unvested Consideration Shares shall be non-transferable, such that the Vendor shall procure Aureon Johan Co., Ltd (as the holder) not to sell, transfer, assign, pledge, Encumber or otherwise dispose of any interest therein; |
| 2.11.2 | the unvested Consideration Shares shall carry no economic rights, including but without limitation, the right to receive dividends and distributions declared, made or paid thereon; and |
| 2.11.3 | the Vendor shall procure Aureon Johan Co., Ltd to duly appoint Purchaser I (or its nominee) as its irrevocable proxy with respect to all voting rights (and any other rights exercisable at shareholders meetings or in relation to shareholders minutes) attaching to its unvested Consideration Shares, and take all necessary actions to effect such appointment, including but not limited to executing and delivering all necessary instruments, proxy forms and other documents in accordance with the Applicable Laws. Purchaser I (or its nominee) shall be entitled to exercise all such voting rights as if it were the registered holder of the unvested Consideration Shares for so long as those shares remain unvested, and the proxy appointment shall be irrevocable until the relevant Consideration Shares vest in full or are forfeited in accordance with the terms and conditions under this Agreement. |
| 2.12 | If there is a material breach of any covenant under Clause 3 or Warranty, or if any of the conditions set out in Clause 5 are not satisfied (or waived) by the Completion Date, or the Purchasers validly terminate this Agreement in accordance with Clause 15, the Purchaser I shall then have no obligation to issue the Consideration Shares to Aureon Johan Co., Ltd and the Purchaser II shall then have no obligation to pay the Cash Amount to the Vendor at Completion, and the Vendor shall have no obligation to sell the Sale Shares to the Purchasers under this Agreement. If any Cash Amount has been paid to the Vendor on or before the Completion Date, it shall be refunded to the Purchaser II in full within five (5) Business Days after the Completion Date. If any Consideration Shares have been issued to Aureon Johan Co., Ltd on or before the Completion Date, the Vendor shall use its best efforts and take all necessary actions to procure Aureon Johan Co., Ltd to transfer such Consideration Shares back to the Purchaser I as soon as reasonably possible. |
- 14 -
