Exhibit 10.1
FORM OF PACE SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
This SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT is entered into this day of December, 2016, by and among Pace Holdings Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Pace”), Porto Holdco B.V., a Dutch private limited liability company (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) that will be converted to a Dutch public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) prior to completion of the Transaction (as defined below) and renamed Playa Hotels & Resorts N.V. (the “Issuer”), and (“Subscriber”).
WHEREAS, Pace, Playa Hotels & Resorts B.V., a Dutch private limited liability company (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) (“Playa”), and the other parties named therein have entered into that certain Transaction Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Transaction Agreement”) pursuant to which Pace and Playa will be combined into the Issuer, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (the “Transaction”);
WHEREAS, in connection with the Transaction, Subscriber desires to subscribe for and purchase from Pace that number of Pace’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Shares”), set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Acquired Shares”) for a purchase price of $10.00 per share, or the aggregate purchase price set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Purchase Price”), and Pace desires to issue and sell to Subscriber the Acquired Shares in consideration of the payment of the Purchase Price by or on behalf of Subscriber to Pace on or prior to the Closing (as defined below); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Transaction, Subscriber’s Acquired Shares shall be exchanged for ordinary shares, par value euro (EUR) 0.10 per share, of the Issuer (the “Issuer Shares”), in the same manner as the Class A Shares held by each other holder of Class A Shares immediately prior to consummation of the Transaction (such Issuer Shares received by Subscriber in the Transaction, the “Acquired Issuer Shares”); from and after consummation of the Transaction, references herein to the “Acquired Shares” shall be deemed to refer to and include the Acquired Issuer Shares;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Subscription. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Subscriber hereby agrees to subscribe for and purchase, and Pace hereby agrees to issue and sell to Subscriber, upon the payment of the Purchase Price, the Acquired Shares (such subscription and issuance, the “Subscription”).
2. Closing.
a. The closing of the Subscription contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction and shall occur immediately prior to the merger of Pace into a subsidiary of the Issuer in connection therewith. Not less than five (5) business days prior to the scheduled closing date of the Transaction (the “Closing Date”), Pace shall provide written notice to Subscriber (the “Closing Notice”) of such Closing Date. Subscriber shall deliver to Pace at least one (1) business day prior to the Closing Date, to be held in escrow until the Closing, the Purchase Price for the Acquired Shares by wire transfer of U.S. dollars in immediately available funds to the account specified by Pace in the Closing Notice. On the Closing Date, Pace shall deliver to Subscriber the Acquired Shares in book entry form and a copy of the register of members of Pace showing Subscriber as the owner of the Acquired Shares, and the Purchase Price shall be released from escrow automatically and without further action by Pace or Subscriber. In the event the Closing does not occur on the Closing Date, Pace shall promptly (but not later than one (1) business day thereafter) return the Purchase Price to Subscriber.
b. The Closing shall be subject to the conditions that, on the Closing Date:
(i) no suspension of the qualification of the Acquired Shares for offering or sale or trading in any jurisdiction, or initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes, shall have occurred;
(ii) all representations and warranties of Pace, the Issuer and Subscriber contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date, and consummation of the Closing shall constitute a reaffirmation by each of Pace, the Issuer and Subscriber of each of the representations, warranties and agreements of each such party contained in this Subscription Agreement as of the Closing Date;
(iii) no governmental authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any judgment, order, rule or regulation (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect and has the effect of making consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise preventing or prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; and
(iv) all conditions precedent to the closing of the Transaction, including the approval of Pace’s shareholders, shall have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that may only be satisfied at the closing of the Transaction, but subject to satisfaction of such conditions as of the closing of the Transaction).
c. At the Closing, the parties hereto shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take such additional actions as the parties reasonably may deem to be practical and necessary in order to consummate the Subscription as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

d. Subscriber (i) is a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) or an institutional “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act) satisfying the applicable requirements set forth on Schedule A, (ii) is acquiring the Acquired Shares only for its own account and not for the account of others, or if Subscriber is subscribing for the Acquired Shares as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, each owner of such account is a qualified institutional buyer and Subscriber has full investment discretion with respect to each such account, and the full power and authority to make the acknowledgements, representations and agreements herein on behalf of each owner of each such account, and (iii) is not acquiring the Acquired Shares with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act (and shall provide the requested information on Schedule A following the signature page hereto). Subscriber is not an entity formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Acquired Shares.
e. Subscriber understands that the Acquired Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the Acquired Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act. Subscriber understands that the Acquired Shares may not be resold, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by Subscriber absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, except (i) to Pace or a subsidiary thereof, (ii) to non-U.S. persons pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act or (iii) pursuant to another applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and that any certificates representing the Acquired Shares shall contain a legend to such effect. Subscriber acknowledges that the Acquired Shares will not be eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act. Subscriber understands and agrees that the Acquired Shares will be subject to transfer restrictions and, as a result of these transfer restrictions, Subscriber may not be able to readily resell the Acquired Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the Acquired Shares for an indefinite period of time. Subscriber understands that it has been advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or transfer of any of the Acquired Shares.
5
f. Subscriber understands and agrees that Subscriber is purchasing the Acquired Shares directly from Pace. Subscriber further acknowledges that there have been no representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made to Subscriber by Pace or the Issuer or any of their respective officers or directors, expressly or by implication, other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreements included in this Subscription Agreement.
g. Subscriber represents and warrants that its acquisition and holding of the Acquired Shares will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any applicable similar law.
h. In making its decision to purchase the Acquired Shares, Subscriber represents that it has relied solely upon independent investigation made by Subscriber. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that Subscriber has received such information as Subscriber deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Acquired Shares, including with respect to Pace, the Issuer, Playa and the Transaction. Subscriber represents and agrees that Subscriber and Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as Subscriber and such Subscriber’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Acquired Shares.
i. Subscriber became aware of this offering of the Acquired Shares solely by means of direct contact between Subscriber and Pace, and the Acquired Shares were offered to Subscriber solely by direct contact between Subscriber and Pace. Subscriber did not become aware of this offering of the Acquired Shares, nor were the Acquired Shares offered to Subscriber, by any other means. Subscriber acknowledges that Pace represents and warrants that the Acquired Shares (i) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws.
j. Subscriber acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Acquired Shares. Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Acquired Shares, and Subscriber has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as Subscriber has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision.
k. Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), Subscriber represents and acknowledges that Subscriber has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Acquired Shares and determined that the Acquired Shares are a suitable investment for Subscriber and that Subscriber is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of Subscriber’s investment in Pace. Subscriber acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.
l. Subscriber understands and agrees that no federal or state agency has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Acquired Shares or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment.
6
m. Subscriber represents and warrants that Subscriber is not (i) a person or entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC (“OFAC List”), or a person or entity prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program, (ii) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 515, or (iii) a non-U.S. shell bank or providing banking services indirectly to a non-U.S. shell bank (collectively, a “Prohibited Investor”). Subscriber agrees to provide law enforcement agencies, if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law, provided that Subscriber is permitted to do so under applicable law. Subscriber represents that if it is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.) (the “BSA”), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”), and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), that Subscriber maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. Subscriber also represents that, to the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including the OFAC List. Subscriber further represents and warrants that, to the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by Subscriber and used to purchase the Acquired Shares were legally derived.
n. Subscriber has, and at the Closing will have, sufficient funds to pay the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2(a).
6. Registration Rights. The Issuer agrees that, within thirty (30) calendar days after the consummation of the Transaction, the Issuer will file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement registering the resale of the Acquired Issuer Shares (the “Registration Statement”), and the Issuer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof; provided, however, that the Issuer’s obligations to include the Acquired Issuer Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Issuer such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Issuer held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Acquired Issuer Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Issuer to effect the registration of the Acquired Issuer Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Issuer may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations, including providing that the Issuer shall be entitled to postpone and suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement during any customary blackout or similar period.
7. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earlier to occur of (a) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement or (c) if any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 2 of this Subscription Agreement are not satisfied on or prior to the Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement are not consummated at the Closing; provided, that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof
7
prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach. Pace shall promptly notify Subscriber of the termination of the Transaction Agreement promptly after the termination of such agreement.
8. Trust Account Waiver. Subscriber acknowledges that Pace is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving Pace and one or more businesses or assets. Subscriber further acknowledges that, as described in Pace’s prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated September 10, 2015 (the “Prospectus”) available at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇, substantially all of Pace’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of Pace’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of Pace, its public shareholders and the underwriters of Pace’s initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to Pace to pay its tax obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of Pace entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Subscriber, on behalf of itself and its Representatives, hereby irrevocable waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind they have or may have in the future, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement.
9. Miscellaneous.
a. Subscriber acknowledges that Pace, the Issuer and others will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, Subscriber agrees to promptly notify Pace if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties set forth herein are no longer accurate in all material respects.
b. Each of Pace and the Issuer is entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.
c. This Subscription Agreement and all of Subscriber’s rights and obligations hereunder (including Subscriber’s obligation to purchase the Acquired Shares) may be transferred or assigned, at any time and from time to time, to one or more parties, in related or unrelated transactions (each such transferee, a “Transferee”). Upon any such assignment:
(i) the applicable Transferee shall enter into a subscription agreement (each such subscription agreement, a “New Subscription Agreement”) with the Company to purchase that number of Subscriber’s Acquired Shares specified therein (the “Transferee Acquired Shares”), which New Subscription Agreement shall be in substantially the same form as this Subscription Agreement, except that this Section 9.c. shall be replaced with the following:
8
“Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to Subscriber hereunder (other than the Acquired Shares acquired hereunder, if any) may be transferred or assigned.”; and
(ii) upon a Transferee’s execution and delivery of a New Subscription Agreement, the number of Acquired Shares to be purchased by Subscriber hereunder shall be reduced by the total number of Transferee Acquired Shares to be purchased by the applicable Transferee pursuant to the applicable New Subscription Agreement, which reduction shall be evidenced by Subscriber and the Company amending Schedule B to this Subscription Agreement to reflect each transfer and to update the “Number of Acquired Shares subscribed for” and “Aggregate Purchase Price” on the signature page hereto to reflect such reduced number of Acquired Shares, and Subscriber shall be fully and unconditionally released from its obligation to purchase such Transferee Acquired Shares hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, this Subscription Agreement need not be amended and restated in its entirety, but only Schedule B and Subscriber’s signature page hereto need be so amended and updated and executed by each of Subscriber and the Company upon the occurrence of any such transfer of Transferee Acquired Shares.
d. All the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing.
▇. ▇▇▇▇ may request from Subscriber such additional information as Pace may deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of Subscriber to acquire the Acquired Shares, and Subscriber shall provide such information as may be reasonably requested, to the extent readily available and to the extent consistent with its internal policies and procedures.
f. This Subscription Agreement may not be modified, waived or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such modification, waiver, or termination is sought.
g. This Subscription Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
h. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.
i. If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.
9
j. This Subscription Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts (including by electronic means), all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.
k. Subscriber shall pay all of its own expenses in connection with this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein.
l. Notices. Any notice or communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and either delivered personally, telegraphed, emailed or telecopied, sent by overnight mail via a reputable overnight carrier, or sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, and shall be deemed to be given and received (a) when so delivered personally, (b) upon receipt of an appropriate electronic answerback or confirmation when so delivered by telegraph or telecopy (to such number specified below or another number or numbers as such person may subsequently designate by notice given hereunder), (c) when sent, with no mail undeliverable or other rejection notice, if sent by email, or (d) five (5) business days after the date of mailing to the address below or to such other address or addresses as such person may hereafter designate by notice given hereunder:
