RECITALS:
|
(A) |
Taiwan Liposome Company, Ltd (“TLC”) is a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of China and listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Stock Market and the Taipei Exchange. |
|
|
(B) |
On or around the date of this Agreement, Bidco and TLC is entering into a share swap agreement (the “Share Swap Agreement”), pursuant to which Bidco will issue Series B special shares (“Bidco Series B Special Shares”) to the shareholders of TLC (including the Major Shareholders and the Management Parties) in exchange for all of the issued shares of TLC in a share swap transaction under the laws of Taiwan (the “Share Swap”) and TLC will become wholly owned by Bidco at the completion of the Share Swap. At the completion of the Share Swap, Bidco will issue one Bidco Series B Special Share in exchange for each issued and outstanding share of TLC. |
|
|
(C) |
In accordance with the terms of Bidco Series B Special Shares, each holder will have the right to convert Bidco Series B Special Shares into the same number of common shares, par value NT$10 per share, issued by Bidco (“Bidco Common Shares”) within a certain period, and the remaining Bidco Series B Special Shares will be redeemed by Bidco for cash payments after the end of such period (the “Bidco Share Redemption”) at a redemption price of NT$100 per share (the “Bidco Redemption Price”). |
|
|
(D) |
As soon as possible after the execution of this Agreement and no later than the shareholder meeting of TLC convened to approve the Share Swap, each of the Major Shareholders, the Management Parties and certain other shareholders of TLC entered into an irrevocable undertaking with Bidco (each, an “Irrevocable Undertaking”), pursuant to which each such shareholder agrees to elect to convert the Bidco Series B Special Shares received in the Share Swap into Bidco Common Shares in accordance with the terms of Bidco Series B Special Shares. |
|
|
(E) |
In preparation for the Bidco Share Redemption, on the Planned First Completion Date, the Issuer desires to issue and sell to PAG, and PAG desires to purchase from the Issuer, an exchangeable note exchangeable into Series A-1 preferred shares, par value of US$0.0001 each, of the Company (the “Series A-1 Preferred Shares”) in the form agreed by the Parties (the “Note”), in the principal amount of US$36 million (the “Principal Amount”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. The proceeds from the sale of the Note will be used by the Issuer to extend a loan to the Company (the “Issuer Loan”), which will in turn be used by the Company to extend a loan to Bidco (the “Company Loan”), which will be used by Bidco to fund part of the consideration payable for the Bidco Share Redemption (collectively, the “Use of First Completion Proceeds”). The remaining portion of the consideration payable by Bidco for the Bidco Share Redemption will be funded by the Major Shareholders and certain Other Rollover Shareholders (as defined below) before the First Completion Date by way of subscription for Series X-0, X-0 and A-3 special shares of Bidco (the “Bidco Series X-0, X-0 or A-3 Special Shares”, as applicable, and together, “Bidco Series A Special Shares”) in a total amount equal to NT$1,567,000,000 at a per- share subscription price equal to the Bidco Redemption Price (collectively, the “Bidco Investment”). Any amount of the Bidco Investment in excess of the total amount of cash required for the Bidco Share Redemption minus the principal amount of the Note will be returned to the Major Shareholders in redemption for Bidco Series A Special Shares (the “Excess Bidco Series A Special Shares”) based on the subscription price. |
|
|
(F) |
After the completion of the Share Swap and the Bidco Share Redemption, each holder of Bidco Common Shares and Bidco Series A Special Shares, including each of the Major Shareholders and the Management Parties and each other holder of Bidco Series B Special Shares who elects to convert into Bidco Common Shares (each such holder, a “Rollover Shareholder”), will participate in a series of rollover transactions such that (i) the Bidco Common Shares and Bidco Series A-1 Special Shares held by each of the Major Shareholders and the Management Parties will be rolled over into the same number of ordinary shares and Series A preferred shares, respectively, issued by the Issuer, and (ii) the Bidco Common Shares, Bidco Series A-2 Special Shares and Bidco Series A-3 Special Shares held by the Rollover Shareholders other than the Major Shareholders and the Management Parties (the “Other Rollover Shareholders”) will be rolled over into the same number of ordinary shares, Series A preferred shares and Series B preferred shares, respectively, issued by Cayman 2 (the “Rollover Transactions”). |
|
|
(G) |
To effect the Rollover Transactions, (i) the Issuer will borrow bridge loans and use the proceeds to subscribe for ordinary shares (in number equal to the total number of ordinary shares issued by the Issuer) and Series A-2 Preferred Shares (in number equal to the number of Series A preferred shares issued by the Issuer) issued by the Company, and (ii) Cayman 2 will borrow bridge loans and use the proceeds to subscribe for ordinary shares (in number equal to the number of ordinary shares issued by Cayman 2), Series A-3 Preferred Shares (in number equal to the number of Series A preferred shares issued by Cayman 2) and Series |
|
2
B Preferred Shares (in number equal to the number of Series B preferred shares issued by Cayman 2), in each case issued by the Company at a per-share price equal to the USD Equivalent of the Bidco Redemption Price. The Company will use the proceeds from such subscriptions to acquire all of the issued shares of Bidco from the Rollover Shareholders. The Rollover Shareholders will then use the proceeds from the sale to subscribe for ordinary shares issued by the Issuer or Cayman 2, as applicable, except that (i) with respect to the Bidco Series A-1 Special Shares, the Major Shareholders will receive Series A preferred shares issued by the Issuer, and (ii) with respect to the Bidco Series A-2 Special Shares and Bidco Special A-3 Special Shares, the Other Rollover Shareholders will receive Series A preferred shares and Series B preferred shares, respectively, issued by Cayman 2. The Series A preferred shares of each of the Issuer and Cayman 2 will be exchanged for Series A-2 Preferred Shares and Series A-3 Preferred Shares, respectively, of the Company at Second Completion. The ordinary shares of each of the Issuer and Cayman 2 and the Series B preferred shares of Cayman 2 will be exchanged for ordinary shares of the Company before the completion of an initial public offering of the Company. The Issuer and Cayman 2 will use the proceeds of the subscription to repay the bridge loans and cause the bridge loan lender to release all security interest received on the bridge loan. The per-share price for the subscription of shares of the Issuer, Cayman 2 or the Company shall be equal to the USD Equivalent of the Bidco Redemption Price. Each Rollover Shareholder will enter into an agreement with Bidco and the Cayman Companies with respect to the Rollover Transactions (each, a “Rollover Agreement”) when he elects to convert his Bidco Series B Special Shares into Bidco Common Shares and prior to the Bidco Share Redemption Date.
|
(H) |
At the completion of the Rollover Transactions, the Rollover Shareholders will own all of the issued shares of the Issuer and Cayman 2, which will own all of the issued shares of the Company, which in turn will own all of the issued shares of Bidco. At the completion of the Rollover Transactions, on an as-converted basis (assuming the exchange of the Note and conversion of the Issuer Loan into ordinary shares of the Company at the USD Equivalent of the Bidco Redemption Price and 2,983,630 shares of TLC will be issued upon exercise of existing employee options after the date hereof), the total number of issued shares of the Company shall be 87,138,564, the total number of shares of TLC immediately prior to the completion of the Share Swap (the “Total Share Number”), and shall be equal to the combined number of issued shares of the Issuer and Cayman 2. |
|
|
(I) |
After the completion of the Rollover Transactions, subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Company desires to allot and issue to PAG, and PAG desires to purchase from the Company, certain number of Series A-1 Preferred Shares on the terms set forth herein. At the completion of such issuance, the Note will be exchanged for Series A-1 Preferred Shares issued by the Company in accordance with its terms. |
