An annual Pool Meeting (the “Annual Pool Meeting”) shall be held annually, after the meeting of the Nomination and Compensation Committee preceding the Board meeting in which the Board is scheduled to approve the agenda and motions for the next AGM and at least five calendar days prior to such Board meeting.

The Pool Chair shall pre-announce the date of the Annual Pool Meeting with at least 40 calendar days’ notice by letter or e-mail to the addresses of the Parties set forth in Art. 11.3(a).

The Pool Chair shall call the Annual Pool Meeting with at least 20 calendar days’ notice by letter or e-mail to the addresses of the Parties set forth in Art. 11.3(a). The agenda of the Annual Pool Meeting shall include:

The request of the Party and the invitation of the Pool Chair shall be delivered by letter or e-mail to the addresses of the Parties set forth in Art. 11.3(a). In case the items and/or proposals of a Party relate to Board motions set forth in an invitation to an EGM, the Pool Meeting shall take place no later than five calendar days after the Party’s request but in any event no later than immediately prior to the respective EGM.

The relevant request must be submitted by letter or e-mail to the addresses of the Parties set forth in Art. 11.3(a) and to the Pool Chair at least five calendar days before the Pool Meeting; in urgent cases, this request period can be reduced to one calendar day.

In addition, any Party may have itself represented at a Pool Meeting by another Party or by any third-party, provided that such third-party shall be subject to confidentiality and shall not be Affiliated with a competitor of the Company and the Group.

The Pool Meeting shall pass its resolutions with (i) at least 50 % or more of heads of the Members of the Extended Founder Team (i.e. per capita (Kopfstimmprinzip), meaning by at least 3 of 5; 2 of 4; 2 of 3; or 1 of 2 Members of the Extended Founder Team), plus (ii) a simple majority of such voting rights pertaining to the Pool Shares represented in the Pool Meeting (the quorum of (i) plus (ii) hereinafter the “Simple Majority”).

Vacancies

Advisory Role

If a Member of the Extended Founder Team no longer acts as a member of the Executive Committee (e.g. due to de-selection or to a termination of the employment agreement), the Company shall offer to such Member of the Extended Founder Team a timely unlimited agreement for an appropriate advisory role within the Company or any Group company. If the respective Member of the Extended Founder Team accepts such role and signs the advisory agreement, he shall continue to be bound by this Agreement. Otherwise, if he refuses the advisory role, such refusal shall be deemed being an Individual Sunset Event in accordance with Art. 7.3.

No Claims

DISPOSAL OF SHARES

Restrictions on Transfers and Encumbrances

No Party shall, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of, or solicit any offers to purchase or otherwise acquire, any of its Class B Shares or any rights associated therewith unless in case of a Permitted Transfer (Art. 7.2) or otherwise in accordance with this Agreement.

Except as set forth in Art. 7.1(d), no Party shall grant any option or other rights in all or any of its Class B Shares.

Each Party undertakes to ensure that in case of divorce, his spouse has no entitlement that any Class B Shares are being transferred to her.

If a Party wishes to create any security interest over all or any of its Shares, in the form of a pledge, lien, encumbrance, charge or otherwise (provided that the voting rights attached to such Shares remain with such Party until any enforcement event), it shall notify the other Parties, prior to the perfection of such security interest, of the name of its beneficiary and the number of Shares that will be subject thereto. If such security interest concerns any Class B Shares held by a Party, such Party undertakes to ensure that the relevant security interest agreement acknowledges this Agreement and, the right of first refusal of the other Members of Extended Founder Team in case of any enforcement event, and the fact that the Class B Shares have to be mandatorily converted into Class A Shares in the event of an enforcement event, in which the other Members of the Extended Founder Team do not (fully) exercise their right of first refusal.

Permitted Transfers

a transfer or a sale to another Party to this Agreement, provided that the pro rata rights of first refusal of the other Parties described in Art. 7.5 are complied with; and

a transfer to a foundation or trust for the benefit of a spouse or relative in line of ascent or descent or siblings, provided that such foundation or trust is controlled and represented by the transferring or selling Party and each transferee previously accedes to this Agreement by executing a deed of adherence in the form as set forth in Annex 7.2(b).

Individual Sunset Events

a Party’s individual sell-down of Class B Shares since the date immediately following the IPO which exceeds 35 % (i.e. the Party’s total number of Class B Shares shall never fall below the respective threshold set forth in Annex 6.2(a));

the permanent incapacity (i.e. an incapacity of 12 or more consecutive months) of a Member of the Extended Founder Team to exercise its function as Board Member, Co-CEO or other active executive role (including an advisory role) within the Company, it being understood, however, that a temporarily inability to act (Handlungsunfähigkeit) of a Member of the Extended Founder Team does not lead to an Individual Sunset Event. During a temporarily inability to act, such Member of the Extended Founder Team can be represented by his legal representative at respective Pool Meetings and Shareholders’ Meetings. Further, for the avoidance of doubts, it is agreed that a full or partial physical disability (volle oder teilweise körperliche Behinderung) is not tantamount to an Individual Sunset Event;

the death of a Party; or

a Party’s legally binding conviction (rechtskräftige Verurteilung) for fraud (Betrug), theft (Diebstahl), misappropriation (Veruntreuung), and/or criminal mismanagement (ungetreue Geschäftsführung) against the Company and/or any of its Affiliates.

Consequences of an Individual Sunset Event

in a first step, the Class B Shares held by the Party concerned by an Individual Sunset Event shall be offered to the remaining Members of the Extended Founder Team in accordance with their pro rata right of first refusal set forth in Art. 7.5;

in a second step, if the remaining Members of the Extended Founder Team do not (fully) exercise their pro rata right of first refusal set forth in Art. 7.5 below, the remaining Class B Shares held by the Party concerned by an Individual Sunset Event shall be subject to the mandatory conversion into Class A Shares as described in Art. 7.6 below;

finally, in a third step, the converted Class A Shares shall be listed on the NYSE, and the Parties undertake to take all actions and steps, and/or to support all actions and steps to be taken by the Company to implement such listing.

Rights of First Refusal

(A) If a party intends to voluntarily dispose of its Class B shares; or (B) if a Party (the “Selling Shareholder”) receives a bona fide offer from a third-party (the “Prospective Purchaser”) to acquire all or a part of the Selling Shareholder’s Class B Shares (the “Offered Shares”); or (C) if the Selling Shareholder and the Prospective Purchaser have already entered into an agreement relating to the sale and transfer of the Offered Shares (the “Sale Agreement”, which, however, must include a condition precedent to the effect that such sale and transfer may only be consummated if the Selling Shareholder is permitted to sell the Offered Shares under this Agreement, in particular that the Offered Shares are converted into Class A Shares prior to such sale and transfer); or (D) if an Individual Sunset Event occurs, affecting the Selling Shareholder, then the Selling Shareholder shall give notice thereof (the “ROFR Notice”) to the other Members of the Extended Founder Team (the “Notified Shareholders”) as well as to the Co-Chairmen. In case of an Individual Sunset Event according to Art. 7.3(b) and 7.3(c), the ROFR Notice shall be given by the legal successors of the Selling Shareholder or its legal representative. Such ROFR Notice shall (i) state the name and address of the Prospective Purchaser, and (ii) include the price and other main terms and conditions for the Offered Shares as offered by the Prospective Purchaser (the “Offer Terms”). In case of a voluntary disposal of Class B Shares or an Individual Sunset Event, the Selling Shareholder may at its own discretion choose, whether the compensation for the Offered Shares shall consists (i) in Class A Shares, whereby the conversion shall be effectuated through a 1:10 exchange against Class B Shares (1 Class A Share = 10 Class B Shares), or (ii) in a cash payment based on the stock market price of the Class A Shares (exchange rate on the date of the ROFR), or (iii) in a combination of (i) and (ii).

Upon receipt of the ROFR Notice, each of the Notified Shareholders has the right, by giving written notice to the Selling Shareholder, with a copy to the Co-Chairmen, until 10 calendar days prior to the Annual Pool Meeting, preceding the AGM, in which the conversion of the Offered Shares into Class A Shares is to be put as an agenda item (the “Extended Founder Team’s Exercise Period”), to indicate the number of Offered Shares (but not more than the aggregate number of Offered Shares) that such Notified Shareholder is willing to purchase on the terms and conditions stated in the ROFR Notice.

If the Notified Shareholders wish to purchase a greater number of Shares in the aggregate than there are Offered Shares,

each Notified Shareholder shall be allocated Offered Shares in proportion to its voting rights at the time of receipt of the ROFR Notice or, if lower, the number of Shares such Notified Shareholder has stated to be willing to purchase; and

any acceptances by Notified Shareholders in excess of their pro rata shareholdings at the time of receipt of the ROFR Notice shall be reduced on a linear basis.

Any costs and fees which might be incurred in connection with the exercise of the right of first refusal shall be split between the Selling Shareholders and the accepting Notified Shareholders (50:50).

If not all Offered Shares are purchased by the Notified Shareholders in accordance with this Art. 7.5, the Party, who wants to dispose of its Class B Shares, may request to have its Class B Shares converted into Class A Shares according to Art 7.6 and subsequently listed on the NYSE, and the Parties undertake to take all actions and steps, and/or to support all actions or steps to be taken by the Company to implement such listing.

Conversion of Class B Shares and subsequent Listing of the Class A Shares

Class B Shares may only be converted into Class A Shares at an AGM, as follows:

if a Party intends to dispose of its Class B Shares and therefore sends a ROFR Notice to the other Parties and the Co-Chairmen, the Parties and the Co-Chairmen shall ensure that the conversion of the concerned Class B Shares into Class A Shares shall be put as an agenda item on the agenda of the Annual Pool Meeting and the next AGM (to the extent that none of the other Parties has notified in writing, that it will exercise its right of first refusal with regard to the Offered Shares within the Extended Founder Team’s Exercise Period), and the Members of the Extended Founder Team undertake to approve such conversion at the Annual Pool Meeting and the AGM; and

if Class B Shares are to be converted into Class A Shares following an Individual Sunset Event (and to the extent that none of the other Parties has notified in writing, that it will exercise its right of first refusal with regard to the Offered Shares within the Extended Founder Team’s Exercise Period), or a General Sunset Event, the concerned Party shall be granted a period of grace between 13 and 24 months, i.e. (A) the conversion of the concerned Class B Shares into Class A Shares shall be put as an agenda item on the agenda of the Annual Pool Meeting and the AGM the earliest 13 months (but no later than 24 months) following the occurrence of such Individual Sunset Event or General Sunset Event; (B) the Board shall propose to the AGM to approve the conversion; and (C) the Members of the Extended Founder Team undertake to approve such conversion at the Annual Pool Meeting and the AGM; and

following the conversion of the Class B Shares into Class A Shares as described above, such new Class A Shares shall be listed on the NYSE, and the Parties undertake to take all actions and steps, and/or to support all actions and steps to be taken by the Company to implement such listing.

The Company undertakes to take all necessary actions and steps to implement the conversion of the Class B Shares into Class A Shares and the subsequent listing of the new Class A Shares according to the steps described in paragraph (a) above. Any costs related with the listing of the Class A Shares shall be borne by the Company.

If the AGM does not approve the conversion from Class B Shares into Class A Shares, the Party that has requested such a conversion, following a ROFR Notice, and that has approved such conversion at the respective AGM, shall be free to sell its Class B Shares to any third party.

GENERAL SUNSET EVENT

Each Party has the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to itself by serving a six months’ prior written notice and a ROFR Notice to the other Parties and the Co-Chairmen, such termination, however, becoming only effective upon the sale or conversion of all Class B Shares in accordance with the provision in Art. 7.5 and 7.6, respectively (such Art. 7.5 and 7.6 being applicable mutatis mutandis). In the event of a termination pursuant this Art. 9.2(d), this Agreement shall be continued among the remaining Parties.

LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

Each Party, who does not comply with the voting requirements set forth in Art. 5, Art. 6.2(a), Art. 6.3(c), or with the non-competition/non-solicitation obligation set forth in Art. 11.2 below shall pay liquidated damages (Konventionalstrafe) to each of the non-defaulting Party in the aggregate amount of CHF 1 million for each violation (i.e. the entitlement of each non-defaulting Party shall be pro rata to the relevant non-defaulting Party’s shareholdings in the Company).

Notwithstanding the payment of the liquidated damages, the defaulting Party (i) shall be liable to each non-defaulting Party for any losses and damages incurred by such non-defaulting Parties in excess of their entitlement to the amount of CHF 1 million as set forth in the preceding paragraph (which entitlement shall be pro rata to the relevant non-defaulting Party’s shareholdings in the Company), and (ii) shall continue to be bound by the terms of the violated provision, for which each non-defaulting Party may continue to seek specific enforcement and/or such other injunctive relief as may be granted by any court or arbitral tribunal of any competent jurisdiction.

Except as specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement, the rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall be several and not joint. Each Party may exercise and enforce its rights hereunder individually in accordance with this Agreement, and the non-performance by a Party shall not relieve a Party from performing its obligations under this Agreement, nor shall the other Party be liable for the non-performance by the defaulting Party.

With the exception of Art. 6.6; Art. 7.6 and Art. 11.5, which shall confer directly enforceable rights and obligations to the Company, no person other than the Parties hereto shall have any rights or benefits under this Agreement, and nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer on any Person other than the Parties any rights, benefits or remedies.

The Parties agree that they do not form a simple partnership in the sense of Art. 530 et seqq. CO and waive the application of such provisions to the extent possible. In particular, no Party shall have the right to act on behalf or in the name of another Party.

use directly or indirectly any knowledge acquired as Shareholder and/or Member of the Extended Founder Team for an activity competing with the Company’s and/or the Group’s business; or

on his/her own behalf or for any other person or company directly or indirectly offer employment to or procure employment for any management employee of the Company and/or the Group or solicit or induce any management employee of the Company to leave his/her employment with the Company and/or the Group.

Any continuing breach of this non-competition and non-solicitation clause of one month shall be deemed to be a new violation with a new liquidated damages according to Art. 10 as consequence.
