Each Subscription Notice shall be irrevocable. The Company may issue as many Subscription Notices as it may elect during the Commitment Period, but, after delivery of a Subscription Notice, may not, without the prior consent of the Purchaser, thereafter deliver a further Subscription Notice until the expiry of the Pricing Period relating to the Subscription Notice already delivered.

2.2

Conditions Precedent to the Delivery of a Subscription Notice

The Company may deliver a Subscription Notice only if the following conditions have been and remain satisfied (or waived by the Purchaser in writing in respect of the relevant Subscription Notice):

(a)

the Company shall have delivered and the Purchaser shall have received an electronic copy of the executed Agreement and the executed Promissory Note;

(b)

the Provided Shares relating to the relevant Subscription Notice have been delivered to the Purchaser’s account, to the satisfaction of the Purchaser;

(e)

the Company has obtained all the Required Approvals (in a form reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser) and such Required Approvals are in full force and effect such that 200 per cent of the Draw Down Amount (or, if 90 per cent of the Closing Bid Price on the Trading Day on which a Subscription Notice is sent when (i) multiplied by 200 per cent of the Draw Down Amount and (ii) added to the aggregate Subscription Price of all Ordinary Shares already issued pursuant to Closing Notices would exceed CHF 50,000,000, such smaller percentage of the Draw Down Amount (being not less than 100 per cent) as is capable of being issued without exceeding such CHF 50,000,000 limit) may be duly allotted and issued to the Purchaser;

(f)

the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein are true and correct in all respects as of the relevant Notice Date as repeated at that time (except that representations and warranties that are expressed by their terms to be made as of a specific date need be true in all respects only as of such date);

(g)

(h)

no Material Adverse Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur;

(i)

no inquiry, investigation or other proceeding, whether formal or informal, has been commenced, announced or threatened, no order has been issued by any governmental or regulatory organisation or stock exchange and there has been no change of law or policy, or the interpretation or administration thereof, in each case which operates or could operate to prevent, suspend, hinder, delay, restrict or otherwise have a significant adverse effect on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or which could have a material adverse effect on the Purchaser; and

(j)

Listing of the issued Ordinary Shares has not been suspended or threatened to be suspended by the Principal Market during the thirty Trading Days prior to the relevant Notice Date.

Pricing Period Obligation Limitation and Increase

On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall be obliged, with respect to any Subscription Notice and Pricing Period, to subscribe for a number of Ordinary Shares which is not less than 50 per cent of the Pricing Period Obligation, and the Purchaser shall be entitled at its sole discretion to elect to subscribe for up to 200 per cent of the Pricing Period Obligation, provided that the Purchaser shall not be obliged to subscribe for a percentage of the Pricing Period Obligation that has an aggregate Subscription Price which, when added to the aggregate Subscription Price of all Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to all prior Closing Notices, would exceed CHF 50,000,000; and further provided in each case that if, on any Trading Day during any Pricing Period, a Material Adverse Event occurs, the Purchaser shall be entitled at its sole discretion to elect to treat that Trading Day and any other Trading Day during the relevant Pricing Period as a Knockout Day. The Purchaser shall not be obliged to purchase any Ordinary Shares pursuant to this Agreement (i) if the Purchaser would in consequence be required to make a mandatory tender offer to purchase all or any of the outstanding Ordinary Shares or (ii) if as of the Closing Date the Company has not obtained all of the Required Approvals.

2.4

Fee

(a)

The Company shall pay to GEMYB a fee of CHF 1,250,000 (which sum shall be deemed to be exclusive of any applicable taxes and duties) (the Fee), payable out of the proceeds resulting from Subscription Prices paid by the Purchaser, as further specified in this clause 2.4. The Company shall, on the date of this Agreement, provide a Promissory Note as evidence of its obligation to pay the Fee.

(b)

The Purchaser shall deduct from the sum payable by it in respect of the aggregate Subscription Price payable by it pursuant to a Closing Notice on a Closing Date the amount of the Fee or, if less, the portion thereof equal to such aggregate Subscription Price and shall pay such amount to GEMYB on behalf of the Company. Such deduction shall be a full discharge to the Company of its obligation to pay the Fee or the relevant portion thereof (as the case may be).

(c)

If on the expiry of twelve (12) months from the date of this Agreement no Closing Date has occurred, the Company shall pay the total outstanding amount of the Fee to GEMYB.

(d)

It is therefore expressly acknowledged that the Fee shall be due on the first anniversary of the Agreement, regardless of whether a Closing Date has occurred before that date.

(e)

It is hereby acknowledged that if, on any date prior to the Payment Date (as that term is defined in the Promissory Note) the Company pays any portion of the Fee (the Paid Amount) to GEMYB the amount due to GEMYB under the Promissory Note shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Paid Amount. In such circumstances, the Company shall issue a new Promissory Note to GEMYB for an amount equal to the Fee minus the Paid Amount (or if a number of payments have been made, the aggregate of all such Paid Amounts) against surrender by GEMYB of its existing Promissory Note to the Company.

(f)

If for any reason:

(i)

the Company fails to comply with its obligations to pay the Fee or any portion thereof in accordance with any of the provisions of this clause 2.4;

(ii)

the Company or any Share Provider has breached in any material respect any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and (if such breach is curable) such breach is not cured within five Business Days following receipt by the Company of notice of such breach or there has been any Material Adverse Event;

(iii)

the Company ceases to carry on business at any time before the Fee is paid in full; or

(iv)

any steps are taken by any person to initiate any form of insolvency, composition or administration proceedings in relation to the Company before the Fee is paid in full;

the outstanding balance of the Fee at that time shall become immediately due and payable.

(g)

If any sum payable under this clause 2.4 is not paid on the due date of payment, interest shall accrue on such sum from and including the due date for payment to but excluding the date on which payment is made at a rate of one hundred (100) basis points per annum (calculated on a 30/365 basis) above the base rate of Barclays Bank PLC from time to time, compounded monthly. If the applicable base rate is less than zero, the applicable base rate shall be deemed zero.

3.	Closing Notice

At or before 9.00 a.m. (Swiss time) on the first Trading Day immediately following the end of each Pricing Period, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Company a Closing Notice stating the exact number of Ordinary Shares for which it wishes to subscribe in accordance with clause 2.3 stating the applicable Subscription Price and attaching copy extracts from Bloomberg showing each of the Closing Bid Prices during the Pricing Period.

4.	Subscription for Ordinary Shares

4.1

Prior Notification of a Subscription Notice

Unless otherwise agreed, not later than five (5) Trading Days prior to the delivery of a Subscription Notice, the Company shall notify each of the Share Providers and the Purchaser in writing of its intention to deliver a Subscription Notice on a Notice Date and shall specify in such notification the Draw Down Amount and the Notice Date. For the avoidance of doubt the Company shall not be obliged to proceed to issue a Subscription Notice following such notification but in the event that it decides not to do so it shall notify the Share Providers and the Purchaser thereof promptly in writing.

4.2

Share Provision

(a)

The Share Providers shall be deemed upon receipt of any such notification to offer (the Offer) and shall be obliged to provide, as a lender, Ordinary Shares to the Purchaser on the following terms:

(i)

the total number of Ordinary Shares which the Share Providers shall offer to provide (excluding any Ordinary Shares which have already been provided and which have not yet been returned to the relevant Share Provider by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement) (the Provided Shares) shall be equal to 200 per cent of the Draw Down Amount;

(ii)

the Purchaser shall be deemed to accept the Offer in full unless it shall have notified the Share Providers otherwise on or prior to the date which is four (4) Trading Days prior to the Notice Date;

(iii)

the Share Providers shall together deliver the Provided Shares which are to be delivered (the Share Provision) to the Settlement System account of the Purchaser prior to the Notice Date; and

(iv)

the Settlement System account to be used for each delivery of Provided Shares shall be designated by the Purchaser not later than three (3) Trading Days prior to the relevant Notice Date, such designation being binding with respect to all future deliveries of Provided Shares unless the Share Providers are informed by the Purchaser in writing of the details of a new account to be used for deliveries of Provided Shares on a Notice Date on or prior to the date which is three (3) Trading Days prior to such Notice Date.

(b)

In the event that the Company does not proceed to issue a Subscription Notice following the making of a notification of an intention to do so under clause 4.1 on the Notice Date specified in the notification from the Company under clause 4.1 or within a period of three (3) Trading Days thereafter, the Offer made by the Share Providers in relation thereto and any contract with the Purchaser in respect of Provided Shares relating thereto shall be deemed to be terminated with immediate effect and the Purchaser shall, at the cost of the Share Providers, procure that any Provided Shares which have been delivered to the Purchaser’s Settlement System account pursuant to such Offer shall be promptly returned to the relevant Share Providers.

4.3

Further Terms of Share Provision

(a)

Each Share Provision shall be concluded for a term commencing on the date of delivery of the Provided Shares to the Purchaser and, subject to clause 4.6, ending on the day on which the Purchaser shall have discharged its obligations in respect thereof under this clause 4.3.

(b)

The number of Ordinary Shares to be subscribed by the Purchaser on a Closing Date shall be referred to as the Issue Amount. Where the number of Provided Shares transferred to the Purchaser by the Share Providers in connection with a Subscription Notice is greater than the Issue Amount specified in the corresponding Closing Notice, the Purchaser shall return to the Share Provider any Provided Shares received in excess of the Issue Amount without undue delay, but in any case by no later than the first Business Day on which the Settlement System is in operation following the Closing Date.

(c)

After the Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement have been Listed, the Purchaser shall repay the balance of the relevant Share Provision by either transferring a number of Ordinary Shares which is equal to the number of outstanding Provided Shares to the Share Providers or giving instructions for such repayment to be effected by direct issue of that number of Ordinary Shares to the Share Providers in accordance with clause 4.5. The Purchaser discharges all its obligations to the Share Providers in respect of the delivery of such number of Ordinary Shares to the Share Providers by giving such instructions in accordance with clause 4.5. If the Purchaser performs its obligations to pay the money due under clause 4.4(b)(i) in respect of the Ordinary Shares to be subscribed pursuant to any Closing Notice, it shall have no liability or responsibility to the Share Providers if the Company fails to comply with its obligation in respect of the issue or delivery of the relevant Ordinary Shares and in such event the Purchaser shall discharge all its obligations to the Share Providers under this clause 1.2(c)(c) by assigning to the Share Providers its rights to receive from the Company the relevant number of Ordinary Shares.

(d)

Where there is at any time more than one Share Provider, their obligations under this Agreement are undertaken by them jointly and severally and the Share Providers shall be responsible for informing the Purchaser to which of them any Ordinary Shares are to be transferred or rights to receive Ordinary Shares are to be assigned in accordance with clause 1.2(c) and any Provided Shares are to be returned to in accordance with clause 4.2 or clause 1.2(b).

4.4

Subscription Closing

(a)

Subject to:

(i)

the satisfaction (or waiver in writing by the Purchaser) of the conditions set out in clause 2.2 as at the Closing Date (but so that all references in such conditions to “the Notice Date” shall for the purposes of this clause 4.4 be treated as referring to “the Closing Date”);

(ii)

the subscription and payment for the Ordinary Shares pursuant to the relevant Closing Notice and Listing of such Ordinary Shares not being prohibited or enjoined (temporarily or permanently) by any applicable law or governmental or other regulation including the Listing Rules (other than by reason of the Purchaser’s breach of its representations, warranties and/or undertakings in this Agreement); and

(iii)

no change having become effective between the date of this Agreement and each Closing Date, in any law or regulation (whether governmental or otherwise) which would adversely affect in any material aspect the holding or disposal of Ordinary Shares by the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s rights in respect thereof:

(b)

on the first Trading Day following the applicable Pricing Period or, if the Settlement System is not in operation on that day, the next Trading Day on which the Settlement System is in operation (each, a Closing Date):

(i)

the Purchaser shall apply to the Company to subscribe for the number of Ordinary Shares set out in the relevant Closing Notice and shall remit by wire transfer to an account or to accounts designated by the Company an amount equal to the product of (A) such number of Ordinary Shares and (B) the applicable Subscription Price; the Parties acknowledge and agree that this payment will be made as an advance payment by the Purchaser of the aggregate Subscription Price for the Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the relevant Closing Notice and the Company will apply the relevant sum in full (without deduction) towards the fulfilment of the Purchaser’s obligation to pay the Subscription Price applicable to the Ordinary Shares; and

(ii)

the Company shall acknowledge in writing to the Purchaser that it has received an application from the Purchaser to subscribe for the relevant number of Ordinary Shares and an amount equal to the aggregate Subscription Price for such Ordinary Shares, and shall send a copy of such acknowledgment to the Share Providers.

4.5

Issue of Ordinary Shares to the Purchaser or the Share Providers

Within twelve (12) months of any Closing Date the Company shall issue or deliver to the Purchaser the number of Ordinary Shares subscribed for by the Purchaser on the relevant Closing Date. This issue or delivery shall be made, at the Purchaser’s option, either by way of crediting such aggregate number of Listed Ordinary Shares to the Purchaser’s Brokerage Account specified in the Closing Notice (provided that an account with the account number set forth in the Closing Notice has been opened and remains open) or by crediting them to another account or accounts designated by the Purchaser. The Purchaser may, as provided in clause 4.3(c), instruct the Company to book such Ordinary Shares in a freely tradable and Listed form on its behalf to an account or accounts designated by the Share Providers as are required to be booked to the Share Providers in fulfilment of its obligation to repay the equivalent number of Ordinary Shares to the Share Providers under the relevant Share Provision. The Purchaser may revoke the foregoing instruction to the Company if the Share Providers are in breach of any material term of this Agreement. The Company hereby undertakes to the Share Providers and the Purchaser that it shall comply with all instructions from the Purchaser given pursuant to this clause 4.5. To the extent required under applicable Swiss corporate law, the Purchaser or the Share Provider(s) shall execute a subscription form in accordance with Article 652 para. 1 and 2 in connection with Article 630 no. 2 of the Swiss Code of Obligations.

4.6

No Claim by Share Providers Against Purchaser

The Share Providers shall have no claim against the Purchaser in respect of any failure to deliver to them a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the number of Provided Shares if and to the extent that (i) the Purchaser has subscribed for the number of Ordinary Shares set out in the relevant Closing Notice, and (ii) the Purchaser has instructed the Company to deliver a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the number of Provided Shares which remain outstanding pursuant to the relevant Share Provision to the Share Providers.

4.7

Replacement of Share Providers

A Share Provider may withdraw from this Agreement subject to notifying the Company and the Purchaser of its intention thereof and subject to a notice period of three (3) months. The Purchaser shall thereafter not have any obligations under this Agreement until one or more persons has executed a deed of adherence in which they confirm that they have become a party to this Agreement in the capacity of a Share Provider and agree to be bound by all applicable terms of this Agreement.

4.8

Warranties of the Share Providers

The warranties in this clause 4.8 shall be deemed to have been repeated as at each Notice Date, as at each Closing Date and as at each date on which Ordinary Shares are issued or delivered to the Purchaser’s Settlement System account pursuant to this Agreement with reference to the facts and circumstances existing on that date.

Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of its country of incorporation with the requisite corporate power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted.

The Ordinary Shares are and, for so long as this Agreement remains in force, will remain the only class of shares in the equity share capital of the Company (where “equity share capital” refers to the issued shares of capital stock of the Company excluding any class of shares which neither as respects dividends nor as respects capital carry any right to participate beyond a specified amount in the distribution) and the Company shall not for so long as this Agreement remains in force issue any shares which have rights differing from those attaching to the equity share capital in issue as at the date of this Agreement.

(c)

(e)

Issue of Ordinary Shares

The Company has at the Notice Date, and thereafter during each Pricing Period immediately prior to the corresponding Closing Date, an adequate authorized and/or conditional share capital allowing it to issue Ordinary Shares, and/or holds a sufficient number of Ordinary Shares in treasury, to enable it to allot and issue or deliver the number of Ordinary Shares equal to 200 per cent of the Draw Down Amount set forth in the relevant Subscription Notice. The Ordinary Shares shall be free of any Liens, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and freely tradable, and application shall be made forthwith for the Ordinary Shares to be Listed.

(f)

No Conflicts

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the issue of Ordinary Shares by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, and the completion by the Company, as applicable, of the transactions contemplated hereby, do not and will not conflict with or violate any provision of the Articles.

The Company shall procure that all Provided Shares are Listed at all times, that all Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement shall, subject to the Listing of the Ordinary Shares already in issue remaining effective, be Listed with effect from opening of business on the Trading Day immediately following their issue date.

(h)

There is no action, suit, notice of violation, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best knowledge of the Directors of the Company, threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets before or by any court, governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority which (i) relates to or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or (ii) could, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to impair materially the ability of the Company or the Share Providers to perform fully on a timely basis its obligations under this Agreement.

(i)

Exchange/Market

The Ordinary Shares in issue are Listed. After consultation prior to each Notice Date with the Company’s relevant advisers and brokers, the Company knows of no reason why the Principal Market will not admit to Listing the maximum number of Ordinary Shares which may be issued pursuant to this Agreement.

(j)

Non-Public Information

The Company acknowledges that neither it nor any of its representatives or agents has provided the Purchaser or any of its representatives or agents identified to or known by the Company as such with what it reasonably believes to be any material non-public information regarding or related to the Company or its respective operations, personnel, technologies or prospects that has not otherwise been made publicly available.

6.1

Organisation; Authority

The Purchaser is a company duly formed and validly existing under the laws of Luxembourg. The Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The subscription of the Ordinary Shares pursuant to this Agreement by the Purchaser have been duly authorized by all necessary action on part of the Purchaser, its directors and shareholders. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser or on its behalf and the obligations assumed by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser.

6.2

Sale and Purchase of Ordinary Shares

(a)

The Purchaser agrees that it shall not at any time during the Commitment Period sell Ordinary Shares exceeding the number of Ordinary Shares which it owns and/or has the right to subscribe for pursuant to an outstanding Subscription Notice.

The Company shall ensure that it is at all times in compliance with the Non-Bank Rules.

(b)

With respect to any deduction on account of Swiss Withholding Tax, clause 6.3(a) above shall not be breached if the number of creditors of the Company in respect of either the 10 Non-Bank Rule or the 20 Non-Bank Rule is exceeded solely as a result of a failure by the Purchaser to comply with its obligations under clause 9.8(b), the Purchaser having given an incorrect information as to its status as Qualifying Bank or having lost its status as Qualifying Bank or as one (1) creditor only for the purposes of the Non-Bank Rules. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company acknowledges that it is aware of the fact that the Purchaser does not qualify as Qualifying Bank but counts as one (1) creditor for the purposes of the Non-Bank Rules.

7.	Other Agreements of the Parties

7.1

Application of Proceeds

The Company covenants and undertakes with the Purchaser and GEMYB that it shall procure that the subscription monies received by the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be used by the Company and its subsidiaries primarily for general corporate purposes and for working capital purposes.

Promissory Note

RELIEF THERAPEUTICS Holding SA

Date: January 20, 2021

In consideration for entry by GEM Yield Bahamas Ltd (the Beneficiary) into the Share Subscription Facility Agreement entered into between RELIEF THERAPEUTICS Holding SA, a company limited by shares registered in Switzerland whose registered address is at ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the Company), the Share Providers, GEM GLOBAL YIELD LLC SCS and the Beneficiary on or about the date of this Promissory Note, the Company hereby promises to pay to the order of the Beneficiary the principal sum of

CHF 1,250,000 (the Fee)

on demand on or after the first few drawdowns (the Payment Date) together with interest on such principal sum at a rate of one hundred (100) basis points per annum above the base rate of Barclays Bank PLC from time to time. Interest at such rate shall accrue daily from the Payment Date, shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 365 days, shall be compounded monthly and shall be payable on demand. If the applicable base rate is less than zero, the applicable base rate shall be deemed zero. If on the expiry of twelve (12) months from the date of the Agreement no Closing Date has occurred, the Company shall pay the total outstanding amount of the applicable Fee to the Beneficiary. It is therefore expressly acknowledged by the Company that the Fee shall be due on the first anniversary of the Agreement, regardless of whether a Closing Date has occurred before that date.

This Promissory Note and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter (including non-contractual disputes or claims) is governed by and shall be construed and take effect in accordance with the laws of Switzerland without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than Switzerland. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, in connection with or relating to this Promissory Note (or subsequent amendments thereof), including without limitation, disputes, controversies or claims regarding its existence, validity, invalidity, breach or termination, shall be finally resolved by arbitration in accordance with the Swiss Rules of International Arbitration of the Swiss ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’ Arbitration Institution in force on the date on which the Notice of Arbitration (as such term is defined in the Swiss Rules of International Arbitration of the Swiss ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’ Arbitration Institution) is submitted in accordance with such rules. The number of arbitrators shall be one. The seat of the arbitration shall be Zurich. The arbitral proceedings shall be conducted in English.

Defined terms used in this Promissory Note and not defined therein shall have the same meaning as in the Share Subscription Facility Agreement executed between the Company, the Share Providers, the Beneficiary and GEM GLOBAL YIELD LLC SCS on the date hereof.

In witness whereof this Promissory Note is executed on the date first above written.
