Subject to the satisfaction of the Condition, Completion shall take place by the release of electronic signatures on the Completion Date (being such date and time determined by UM which shall be no later than the Business Day following the satisfaction of the Condition).

For the avoidance of doubt, Completion shall occur simultaneously in respect of all Sale Shares and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not occur (and the Sellers shall not be required to transfer and UM shall not be required to complete the purchase of any Sale Shares) unless the entire issued share capital of the Company is transferred to UM.

Prior to or at Completion (as applicable) each Seller, the Company and UM shall comply with their respective obligations as set out in Schedule 2.

to fix a new date for Completion (being not more than twenty (20) Business Days after the original date for Completion) in which case the provisions of Schedule 2 shall apply to Completion as so deferred but on the basis that such deferral may only occur once; or

terminate this Agreement.

Completion shall take place conditional on the Condition being satisfied.

If the Condition is not fully satisfied by the Longstop Date, this Agreement shall automatically terminate with immediate effect, except as provided by clause 4.3.

If this Agreement terminates in accordance with clause 4.2, it shall immediately cease to have any further force and effect except for:

any provision of this Agreement that expressly or by implication is intended to come into or continue in force on or after termination of this Agreement each of which shall remain in full force and effect (including clause 11 (Confidentiality) and clause 12 (Announcements)); and

any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities of the Parties that have accrued up to the date of termination, including the right to claim damages in respect of any breach of this Agreement which existed at or before the date of termination.    

The Sellers and UM shall each use their respective commercially best efforts to procure (to the extent it lies within their respective powers to do so) that the Condition can be satisfied as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any event, by no later than the Longstop Date, including using commercially best efforts to:

take, or cause to be taken, all necessary action, and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary under Applicable Law to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

obtain all authorisations, consents, orders and approvals of, and give all notices to and make all filings with, all Governmental Authorities and other third parties that are necessary for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

The limitations set out in this Agreement (including this clause 8) shall not apply to any Relevant Claim which is the consequence of fraud, dishonesty or deliberate concealment by or on behalf of a Warrantor, a Seller or UM (as applicable) in respect of any Warranties or Fundamental Warranties (as applicable).

No Party nor any other member of its group shall be entitled to make a Relevant Claim for any punitive or special loss.

Nothing in this Agreement shall prejudice any Party’s duty under common law to mitigate any loss or liability which is the subject of a Relevant Claim.

Each Seller shall (and shall procure, where relevant, that each other member of its group and their respective officers, employees, agents and advisers shall) in all respects keep confidential and not at any time disclose or make known in any way to any Person or use for its own or any other Person’s benefit or to the detriment of another Party to this Agreement:

any Confidential Information; and

the terms of this Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents.

Provided that in respect of the obligations set out in clause 10.1:

such obligation shall not apply to information which becomes publicly available (other than through a breach of this clause 10);

each Seller shall be entitled at all times to disclose such information as may be required by law, for the purpose of any judicial or arbitral proceedings or by any competent judicial or regulatory authority (including any Tax Authority) or by any relevant investment or stock exchange to whose rules such Seller or any of its Affiliates is subject, provided that such Seller shall consult with UM prior to such Party making any such disclosure under this clause 10.2(b);

any Preference Seller shall be entitled to disclose the terms of this Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents to their investment committees, direct and indirect shareholders and their current and prospective limited partners (including venture partners) and other current and future investors in their respective funds (conditional upon any such Person being subject to an obligation to keep such information confidential on the same basis as the Preference Seller for as long as such Preference Seller is obliged to do so in accordance with this clause 10);

each Seller shall be entitled to disclose to its officers, employees, agents or advisers (including auditors) such information as may be necessary to enable them to carry out their duties (conditional upon any such Person being subject to an obligation to keep such information confidential on the same basis as such Seller for as long as such Seller is obliged to do so in accordance with this clause 10); and

each Seller may disclose or use information if and to the extent that such disclosure or use is to a Tax Authority or is otherwise in connection with the Taxation affairs of the disclosing Seller.

The restrictions contained in this clause 10 shall continue to apply after Completion until the date falling ten (10) Business Days after the expiration of the relevant statute of limitation period.

Except in accordance with clause 11.2, the Company and the Sellers shall not make any public announcement or issue a press release or respond to any enquiry from the press or other media concerning or relating to this Agreement or its subject matter (including but not limited to the Sellers’ investment in the Company) or any ancillary matter without the prior written consent of the Board.

Notwithstanding clause 11.1, any Seller may:

make any press release to the effect that it has made an investment in the Company and/or that it is a shareholder in the Company without obtaining the prior approval of the Board;

make or permit to be made an announcement concerning or relating to this Agreement or its subject matter or any ancillary matter with the prior written approval of the Board or if and to the extent required by:

applicable law;

any securities exchange on which such Seller’s securities are listed or traded;

any regulatory or governmental or other authority with relevant powers to which such Seller is subject or submits, whether or not the requirement has the force of law; or

any court order.

The Parties shall at their own cost use all reasonable endeavours from time to time on or following Completion, on being required to do so by any other Party, to do or procure the doing of all such acts and/or execute or procure the execution of all such documents in a form reasonably satisfactory to the other Party for giving full effect to this Agreement and securing to the other Parties the full benefit of the rights, powers, privileges and remedies conferred upon any Party in this Agreement.

Each of the Sellers and UM shall procure that their respective Affiliates comply with all obligations under this Agreement which are expressed to apply to such Affiliates.

The Parties shall bear their own costs and disbursements incurred in the negotiations leading up to and in the preparation of this Agreement and of matters incidental to this Agreement.

This Agreement (including all the Schedules thereto) and the other Transaction Documents supersede and extinguish any prior drafts, agreements, undertakings, representations, warranties and arrangements of any nature whatsoever, whether or not in writing, between any or all of the Parties in relation to the subject matter of this Agreement, including the proposal letter between UM and the Company dated 31 October 2020.

Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that it has not entered into this Agreement and will not enter into the Transaction Documents in reliance on any statement or representation of any Person (whether a Party or not) other than as expressly incorporated in this Agreement and/or any other Transaction Document.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right or remedy it may have to claim damages and/or to rescind this Agreement by reason of any misrepresentation (other than a fraudulent misrepresentation) having been made to it by any Person (whether Party or not) and upon which it has relied in entering into this Agreement.

Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the only cause of action available to it under the terms of this Agreement and the documents referred to or incorporated in this Agreement in respect of a Claim or in respect of a Fundamental Warranty Claim against UM shall be for breach of contract.

Save as set out in clause 17.4 above, each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that damages alone may not be an adequate remedy for the breach of any of the undertakings or obligations as set out in this Agreement. Accordingly, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies the Parties may have, the Parties shall be entitled to seek the remedies of injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief for any threatened or actual breach of the terms of this Agreement.

Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any other document referred to or incorporated in it shall be read or construed as excluding any liability or remedy as a result of fraud, dishonesty or deliberate concealment.
