4 RAISE OF CONVERTIBLE LOAN
The chairman of the meeting gave an account for the proposal from the Board of Directors.
Following this, the general meeting passed the following resolution:
- (i) The Company shall raise a convertible loan (the "Convertible Loan") pursuant to the rules in the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act ("PLCA") chapter 11. The Convertible Loan shall have a principal amount of USD 59,246,066, including the capitalization of a previously granted bridge loan and the existing convertible loan.
- (ii) The Convertible Loan may be subscribed for by the investors (the "Lenders"), and with such amounts, as evident from Appendix 3 to the general meeting minutes. The shareholders' pre-emptive right to subscribe for the Convertible Loan pursuant to Section 11-4 of the PLCA is thus deviated from.

- (a) Forfallsdatoen; eller
- (b) Enhver tidligere dato fastsatt for tilbakebetaling av det Konvertible Lånet i henhold til Låneavtalen (slik definert nedenfor).
Likevel slik at dersom Selskapet gjennomfører en eller flere egenkapitalinnhentinger etter gjennomføring av Fortrinnsrettsemisjonen, som samlet gir et nettoproveny til Selskapet på minst USD 100 millioner (en "Kvalifiserende Emisjon"), kan konverteringsretten utøves innen 20 virkedager etter registrering av kapitalforhøyelsen knyttet til siste Kvalifiserende Emisjon og långiveren skal i slike tilfelle motta en (1) tilleggsaksje per tredje (3.) aksje som utstedes av Selskapet i forbindelse med konverteringen av det Konvertible Lånet.
Ved konverteringen motregnes Långivers krav på Selskapet i Selskapets krav på aksjeinnskudd. Etter konvertering endres angivelsen i vedtektene av Selskapets aksjekapital og antall aksjer tilsvarende.
(x) Utøvelseskursen ved en konvertering av det Konvertible Lånet skal være NOK 10,00, med forbehold om justering som angitt i en Kvalifiserende Emisjon og beskyttelse mot utvanning i henhold til bestemmelsene i låneavtalen for det Konvertible Lånet, inntatt som Vedlegg 4 til protokollen for generalforsamlingen ("Låneavtalen"). Antallet nye aksjer som skal utstedes ved konverteringen skal tilsvare samlet hovedstol og eventuell påløpt PIK-rente som skal konverteres, delt på gjeldende konverteringskurs, rundet ned til nærmeste hele aksje. Videre skal antallet aksjer som skal utstedes ved en konvertering fastsettes ved å benytte en vekslingskurs for USD/ NOK i henhold til sluttkursen offentliggjort av Norges Bank på datoen som faller 10 virkedager før Selskapet
- (ix) Each Lender may convert all or part of its share of the Convertible Loan (including accrued PIK Interest) to shares in the Company (through set-off) at any time in the period from one (1) year after the utilization date and until the earliest of 10 business days prior to:
- (a) The Maturity Date; or
- (b) Any earlier date fixed for repayment of the Convertible Loan pursuant to the Loan Agreement (as defined below).
However, if the Company carries out one or more equity raises after completion of the Rights Issue, which in aggregate gives net proceeds to the Company of at least USD 100 million (a "Qualifying Equity Raise"), the conversion right can be exercised within 20 business days after registration of the latest share capital increase relating to the Qualifying Equity Raise and the lender shall in such cases be eligible to receive one (1) additional share for each third (3) share issued in the conversion of the Convertible Loan.
Upon the conversion, the Lender's claim towards the Company shall be set off towards the Company's claim for share deposit. Following conversion, the statement of the Company's share capital and number of shares in the Articles of Association shall be amended accordingly.
(x) The exercise price upon a conversion of the Convertible Loan shall be NOK 10.00, subject to adjustments in the case of a Qualifying Equity Raise and anti-dilution protections as set out in the provisions of the loan agreement for the Convertible Loan, included as Appendix 4 to the minutes of this general meeting (the "Loan Agreement").

Bortsett fra ovennevnte skal Långiverne ikke ha rettigheter ved vedtak som angitt i § 11-2 (2) nr. 11 i allmennaksjeloven. Konverteringskursen skal ikke justeres under pålydende verdi på Selskapets aksjer, likevel slik at justeringsbestemmelsene skal angi "fair market value" kompensasjon til Långiverne ved hendelser som ellers ville resultert i justering, slik nærmere avtalt i Låneavtalen.
- (xiv) Vilkårene i utkast til Låneavtalen, som utgjør en del av dette vedtaket, godkjennes. Innenfor rammene av dette vedtaket, gis styret fullmakt til å fremforhandle og undertegne den endelige Låneavtalen.
- (xv) Styrets leder gis fullmakt til å signere alle relevante dokumenter i forbindelse med det Konvertible Lånet på vegne av Selskapet, herunder Låneavtalen og tilknyttede dokumenter, samt fullmakt til å avtale endringer og tillegg innenfor rammen av dette vedtak.

- (b) is identified in writing at the time of delivery as non-confidential by all relevant Parties; or
(c) is known by that Party before the date the information is disclosed to it or is lawfully obtained by that Party after that date, from a source which is, as far as that Party is aware, unconnected with the Group or any Lender and which, as far as that Party is aware, has not been obtained in breach of, and is not otherwise subject to, any obligation of confidentiality.

- (a) for the purposes of determining the Current Market Price pursuant to paragraphs (d) or (f) of Clause 16.1 (Adjustments) in circumstances where the relevant event relates to an issue of Shares, if at any time during the said 5 Dealing Day period (which may be on each of such five Dealing Days) the Volume Weighted Average Price shall have been based on a price ex-Dividend (or ex- any other entitlement) and/or during some other part of that period (which may be on each of such five Dealing Days) the Volume Weighted Average Price shall have been based on a price cum-Dividend (or cum- any other entitlement), in any such case which has been declared or announced, then:
- (i) if the Shares to be so issued do not rank for the Dividend (or entitlement) in question, the Volume Weighted Average Price on the dates on which the Shares shall have been based on a price cum-Dividend (or cum- any other entitlement) shall for the purpose of this definition be deemed to be the amount thereof reduced by an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of any such Dividend or entitlement per Share as at the Ex-Date in respect of such Dividend or entitlement
(or, where on each of the said five Dealing Days the Volume Weighted Average Price shall have been based on a price cum-Dividend (or cum any other entitlement), as at the date of first public announcement of such Dividend or entitlement), in any such case, determined by the Company and the Majority Lenders (if they are able to make and agree upon such determination) or (in any other case) by an Independent Adviser on a gross basis and disregarding any withholding or deduction required to be made for or on account of tax, and disregarding any associated tax credit; or
- (ii) if the Shares to be so issued do rank for the Dividend (or entitlement) in question, the Volume Weighted Average Price on the dates on which the Shares shall have been based on a price ex-Dividend (or ex- any other entitlement) shall for the purpose of this definition be deemed to be the amount thereof increased by an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of any such Dividend or entitlement per Share as at the Ex-Date in respect of such Dividend or entitlement, in any such case, determined by the Company and the Majority Lenders (if they are able to make and agree upon such determination) or (in any other case) by an Independent Adviser on a gross basis and disregarding any withholding or deduction required to be made for or on account of tax, and disregarding any associated tax credit,
- (b) for the purposes of any calculation or determination required to be made pursuant to paragraphs (a)(i) or (a)(ii) of the definition of "Dividend", if on any of the said five Dealing Days the Volume Weighted Average Price shall have been based on a price cum- the relevant Dividend or capitalisation giving rise to the requirement to make such calculation or determination, the Volume Weighted Average Price on any such Dealing Day shall for the purposes of this definition be deemed to be the amount thereof reduced by an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the relevant cash Dividend as at the Ex-Date in respect of such Dividend, as determined by the Company and the Majority Lenders (if they are able to make and agree upon such determination) or (in any other case) by an Independent Adviser on a gross basis and disregarding any withholding or deduction required to be made for or on account of tax, and disregarding any associated tax credit; and
- (c) for any other purpose, if any day during the said five Dealing Day period was the Ex-Date in relation to any Dividend (or any other entitlement) the Volume Weighted Average Prices that shall have been based on a price cum- such Dividend (or cumsuch entitlement) shall for the purpose of this definition be deemed to be the amount thereof reduced by an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of any such Dividend or entitlement per Share as at the Ex-Date in respect of such Dividend or entitlement.
"Dealing Day" means a day on which the Relevant Stock Exchange is open for business and on which Shares, Securities, Spin-Off Securities, options, warrants or other rights or assets (as the case may be) may be dealt in (other than a day on which the Relevant Stock Exchange is scheduled to or does close prior to its regular weekday closing time) provided that, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, references to "Dealing Day" shall be a dealing day in respect of the Shares.

- (b) the occurrence of any other event which results in a disruption (of a technical or systems-related nature) to the treasury or payments operations of a Party preventing that, or any other Party:

- (a) where:
- (i) a Dividend in cash is announced which may at the election of a Shareholder or Shareholders be satisfied by the issue or delivery of Shares or other property or assets, or where an issue of Shares or other property or assets to Shareholders by way of a capitalisation of profits or reserves (including any share premium account or capital redemption reserve) is announced which may at the election of a Shareholder or Shareholders be satisfied by the payment of cash, then the Dividend or capitalisation in question shall be treated as a cash Dividend of an amount equal to the greater of (A) the Fair Market Value of such cash amount
and (B) the Current Market Price of such Shares or, as the case may be, the Fair Market Value of such other property or assets, in any such case as at the Ex-Date in respect of the relevant Dividend or capitalisation (or, if later, the Dividend Determination Date), save that where a Dividend in cash is announced which may at the election of a Shareholder or Shareholders be satisfied by the issue or delivery of Shares or an issue of Shares to Shareholders by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves is announced which may at the election of a Shareholder or Shareholders be satisfied by the payment of cash where the number of Shares which may be issued or delivered is to be determined at a date or during a period following the last day on which such election can be made as aforesaid and is to be determined by reference to a publicly available formula based on the closing price or volume weighted average price or any like or similar pricing benchmark of the Shares, without factoring in any discount or premium to such price or benchmark, then such Dividend shall be treated as a cash Dividend in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such cash amount on such date as such cash amount is determined as aforesaid; or
- (ii) there shall (other than in circumstances subject to paragraph (i) above): (A) be any issue of Shares or other property or assets to Shareholders by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves (including any share premium account or capital redemption reserve) where such issue or delivery is or is expressed to be in lieu of a Dividend in cash (whether or not a cash Dividend equivalent amount is announced) or a Dividend in cash is announced that is to be satisfied by the issue or delivery of Shares or other property or assets, or (B) any issue or delivery of Shares or other property or assets by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves (including any share premium account or capital redemption reserve) that is to be satisfied by the payment of cash, then, in the case of (A) the capitalisation or Dividend in question shall be treated as a cash Dividend of an amount equal to the Current Market Price of such Shares or, as the case may be, the Fair Market Value of such other property or assets as at the Ex-Date in respect of the relevant capitalisation (or, if later, the Dividend Determination Date) and, in the case of (B), the capitalisation in question shall be treated as a cash Dividend of an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such cash amount as at the Ex-Date in respect of the relevant capitalisation (or, if later, the Dividend Determination Date), save that where an issue of Shares by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves is announced where such issue is or is expected to be in lieu of a Dividend in cash (in circumstances where the cash amount thereof is announced) or an issue of Shares by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves is announced that is to be satisfied by the payment of cash where the number of Shares to be issued or delivered or the amount of such payment of cash is to be determined at a date or during a period following such announcement and is to be determined by reference to a publicly available formula based on the closing price or volume weighted average price or any like or similar pricing benchmark of the Shares, without factoring in any discount or premium to such price or benchmark, then such capitalisation shall be treated as a cash Dividend in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such cash amount on such date as such cash amount is announced or determined as aforesaid;
- (b) any issue of Shares falling within paragraphs (a) or (b) of Clause 16.1 (Adjustments) shall be disregarded;
- (c) a purchase or redemption or buy back of share capital of the Company by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall not constitute a Dividend unless, in the case of a purchase, redemption or buy back of Shares by or on behalf of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries, the weighted average price per Share (before expenses) on any day (a "Specified Share Day") in respect of such purchases, redemptions or buy backs (translated, if not in the Relevant Currency, into the Relevant Currency at the Prevailing Rate on such day), exceeds by more than 5 per cent. the Current Market Price of a Share:
- (i) on the Specified Share Day; or
- (ii) where an announcement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt for these purposes, any general authority for such purchases, redemptions or buy backs approved by a general meeting of Shareholders or any notice convening such a meeting of Shareholders) has been made of the intention to purchase, redeem or buy back Shares at some future date at a specified price or where a tender offer is made, on the date of such announcement or, as the case may be, on the date of first public announcement of such tender offer (and regardless of whether or not a price per Share, a minimum price per Share or a price range or a formula for the determination thereof is or is not announced at such time),
in which case such purchase, redemption or buy back shall be deemed to constitute a Dividend in the Relevant Currency in an amount equal to the amount by which the aggregate price paid (before expenses) in respect of such Shares purchased, redeemed or bought back by or on behalf of the Company or, as the case may be, any of its Subsidiaries (translated where appropriate into the Relevant Currency as provided above) exceeds the product of (i) 105.00 per cent. of such Current Market Price and (ii) the number of Shares so purchased, redeemed or bought back;
- (d) if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any person on its or their behalf) shall purchase, redeem or buy back any depositary or other receipts or certificates representing Shares, the provisions of paragraph (c) above shall be applied in respect thereof in such manner and with such modifications (if any) as shall be determined in good faith by an Independent Adviser;
- (e) where a dividend or distribution is paid or made to Shareholders pursuant to any plan or arrangement implemented by the Company for the purpose of enabling Shareholders to elect, or which may require Shareholders, to receive dividends or distributions in respect of the Shares held by them from a person other than (or in addition to) the Company, such dividend or distribution shall for the purposes of this Agreement be treated as a dividend or distribution made or paid to Shareholders by the Company, and the foregoing provisions of this definition and the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed accordingly;

- (ii) B is the aggregate number of Shares in issue immediately after such issue.

where:
- (i) A is the Current Market Price of one Share on the Ex-Date in respect of such Dividend; and
- (ii) B is the portion of the Fair Market Value of the aggregate Dividend attributable to one Share, with such portion being determined by dividing the Fair Market Value of the aggregate Dividend by the number of Shares entitled to receive the relevant Dividend (or, in the case of a purchase, redemption or buy back of Shares or any depositary or other receipts or certificates representing Shares by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, by the number of Shares in issue immediately following such purchase, redemption or buy back, and treating as not being in issue any Shares, or any Shares represented by depositary or other receipts or certificates, purchased, redeemed or bought back).
Such adjustment shall become effective on the Effective Date.

$$\frac{A+B}{A+C}$$
where:
- (i) A is the number of Shares in issue on such Ex-Date;
- (ii) B is the number of Shares which the aggregate consideration (if any) receivable for the Shares issued by way of rights, or for the Securities issued by way of rights and upon exercise of rights of conversion into, or exchange or subscription for, or the right to otherwise acquire, Shares, or for the options or warrants or other rights issued by way of rights and for the total number of Shares deliverable on the exercise thereof, would purchase at such Current Market Price per Share; and
- (iii) C is the number of Shares to be issued or, as the case may be, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of such options, warrants or rights calculated as at the date of issue of such options, warrants or rights or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of rights of subscription or purchase or other rights of acquisition in respect thereof at the initial conversion, exchange, subscription, purchase or acquisition price or rate,
provided that if on such Ex-Date such number of Shares is to be determined by reference to the application of a formula or other variable feature or the occurrence of any event at some subsequent time, then for the purposes of this paragraph (d), "C" shall be determined by the application of such formula or variable feature or as if the relevant event occurs or had occurred as at such Ex-Date and as if such conversion, exchange, subscription, purchase or acquisition had taken place on such Ex-Date.
Such adjustment shall become effective on the Effective Date.
"Effective Date" means, in respect of this paragraph (d), the later of (i) the Ex-Date in respect of the relevant issue or grant and (ii) the first date upon which the adjusted Conversion Price is capable of being determined in accordance with this paragraph (d).

(j) Other adjustments
If the Company or the Majority Lenders determine that an adjustment should be made to the Conversion Price (or that a determination should be made as to whether an adjustment should be made) as a result of one or more circumstances not referred to above in this Clause 16.1 (even if the relevant circumstance is specifically excluded from the operation of paragraphs (a) to (i) above), the Company shall, at its own expense and acting reasonably, request an Independent Adviser to determine, as soon as practicable what adjustment (if any) to the Conversion Price is fair and reasonable to take account thereof and the date on which such adjustment (if any) should take effect and upon such determination such adjustment (if any) shall be made and shall take effect in accordance with such determination, provided that an adjustment shall only be made pursuant to this paragraph (j) if such Independent Adviser is so requested to make such a determination not more than 21 days after the date on which the relevant circumstance arises and if the adjustment would result in a reduction to the Conversion Price.
(k) Modifications
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions:
(i) where the events or circumstances giving rise to any adjustment pursuant to this Clause 16.1 have already resulted or will result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price or where the events or circumstances giving rise to any adjustment arise by virtue of any other events or circumstances which have already given or will give rise to an adjustment to the Conversion Price or where more than one event which gives rise to an adjustment to the Conversion Price occurs within such a short period of time that in the opinion of the Company or the Majority Lenders, a modification to the operation of the adjustment provisions is required to give the intended result, such modification shall be made to the operation of the adjustment provisions as may be determined in good faith by an Independent Adviser to be in its opinion appropriate to give the intended result;
- (ii) such modification shall be made to the operation of this Agreement as may be determined in good faith by an Independent Adviser, to be in its opinion appropriate (i) to ensure that an adjustment to the Conversion Price or the economic effect thereof shall not be taken into account more than once, and (ii) to ensure that the economic effect of a Dividend is not taken into account more than once; and
- (iii) other than pursuant to paragraph (a) above, no adjustment shall be made that would result in an increase to the Conversion Price.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the Effective Date and apply until the date falling 20 Business Days after registration with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises of the Qualifying Equity Raise, following which such adjustment shall be reversed and the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to the Effective Date shall apply.
"Effective Date" means the date of such Qualifying Equity Raise.
16.2 Calculation of consideration
For the purpose of any calculation of the consideration receivable or price pursuant to paragraph (d), (f), (g) and (h) of Clause 16.1 (Adjustments), the following provisions shall apply:

- (c) if the consideration or price determined pursuant to (a) or (b) above (or any component thereof) shall be expressed in a currency other than the Relevant Currency (other than in circumstances where such consideration is also expressed in the Relevant Currency, in which case such consideration shall be treated as expressed in the Relevant Currency in an amount equal to the amount of such consideration when so expressed in the Relevant Currency), it shall be converted by the Company and the Majority Lenders (if they are able to make and agree upon such determination) or (in any other case) by an Independent Adviser into the Relevant Currency at the Prevailing Rate on the relevant Ex-Date (for the purposes of paragraph (d) of Clause 14.1 (Adjustments)) or the relevant date of first public announcement (for the purpose of paragraph (f), (g) or (h) of Clause 16.1 (Adjustments), as the case may be);
- (d) in determining the consideration or price pursuant to the above, no deduction shall be made for any commissions or fees (howsoever described) or any expenses paid or incurred for any underwriting, placing or management of the issue of the relevant Shares or Securities or options, warrants or rights, or otherwise in connection therewith;
- (e) the consideration or price shall be determined as provided above on the basis of the consideration or price received, receivable, paid or payable, regardless of whether all or part thereof is received, receivable, paid or payable by or to the Company or another entity;
- (f) if as part of the same transaction, Shares shall be issued or issuable for a consideration receivable in more than one or in different currencies then the consideration receivable per Share shall be determined by dividing the aggregate consideration (determined as aforesaid and converted, if and to the extent not in the Relevant Currency, into the Relevant Currency as aforesaid) by the aggregate number of Shares so issued; and
(g) references in this Agreement to "cash" include any promise or undertaking to pay cash or any release or extinguishment of, or set-off against, a liability or obligation to pay a cash amount.

No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price where such adjustment (rounded down if applicable) would be less than 1.00 per cent. of the Conversion Price then in effect. Any adjustment not required to be made, and/or any amount by which the Conversion Price has been rounded down, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment, and such subsequent adjustment shall be made on the basis that the adjustment not required to be made had been made at the relevant time and/or, as the case may be, that the relevant rounding down had not been made.
16.8 No Conversion Price below Par Value
The Conversion Price shall not in any event be reduced to below the Par Value of the Shares, provided that:
- (a) if any adjustment to the Conversion Price would (but for the operation of this Clause 16.8) be required to be made pursuant to paragraph (c) of Clause 16.1 (Adjustments), or, as the case may be, paragraph (b) of Clause 16.1 (Adjustments) pursuant to a Capitalisation Event, in each case which would result in the Conversion Price so adjusted to be less than the Par Value of the Shares, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement no such adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made and instead the provisions of Clause 16.9 (Dividend Compensation Amounts), or, as the case may be, Clause 16.10 (Capitalisation of profits or reserves) shall apply; and
- (b) if any other adjustment to the Conversion Price would (but for the operation of this Clause 16.8) be required to be made that would result in the Conversion Price so adjusted to be less than the Par Value of the Shares, the Conversion Price shall instead be adjusted to be (or, where the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment is equal to the Par Value of the Shares, shall remain) equal to the Par Value of the Shares, and no cash payment or other adjustment will be made in lieu of the extent to which the adjustment to the Conversion Price that would (but for the operation of this Clause 16.8) have been made was (as a result of the operation of this Clause 16.8) not made.
16.9 Dividend Compensation Amounts
- (a) If and whenever the Company shall declare, announce, make or pay any Dividend to Shareholders, and an adjustment to the Conversion Price that would otherwise have followed from paragraph (c) of Clause 16.1 (Adjustments) cannot be effected as a consequence of Clause 16.8 (No Conversion Price below Par Value) (any such Dividend, a "Triggering Dividend"), then (except in respect of all or any part of a Lender's Participation in respect of which the Conversion Right is exercised and the Conversion Date of which falls on or before the Triggering Dividend Record Date):
- (i) the Company shall make a cash payment in respect of each Lender's Participation outstanding on the record date (or other due date for the establishment of entitlement) in respect of such Triggering Dividend (such date, the "Triggering Dividend Record Date" in respect of such Triggering Dividend) equal to the product (rounded to the nearest whole multiple of NOK 0.01 (with NOK 0.005 rounded upwards)) of (A) the Fair Market Value of such Triggering Dividend (translated if necessary into NOK at the Prevailing Rate) as at the Ex-Date thereof and (B) the principal amount of such Participation divided by the Conversion Price in effect on such Triggering Dividend Record Date (or, if any Retroactive Adjustment would have applied in respect of any exercise of the Conversion Right the Conversion Date of which had been such Triggering Dividend Record Date, the Conversion Price which would have been in effect had the relevant adjustment to the Conversion Price been made and become effective on the relevant Conversion Date) (such amount a "Dividend Compensation Amount"), all as determined by the Company and the Majority Lenders (or, in the case of any disagreement, an Independent Adviser).
- (b) The Company shall unconditionally make available to or to the order of the Lenders, all Dividend Compensation Amounts at such times as payment of the corresponding Triggering Dividend is made to Shareholders (or, where any such Dividend Compensation Amount is not capable of being determined in accordance with this Agreement at least three Business Days prior to the time of payment of the corresponding Triggering Dividend, as soon as practicable after such determination is capable of being so made), and to such accounts as specified by the Lenders in advance of when payments of the Dividend Compensation Amounts are due.
- (c) Payments to the Lenders of Dividend Compensation Amounts shall be made to each Lender at the Relevant Record Date, by, if no specific order is made by such Lender, crediting the relevant amount to the bank account nominated by such Lender.
- (d) Payment constituting good discharge of the Company's payment obligations to the Lenders with respect to Dividend Compensation Amounts shall be deemed to have been made to each Lender once the amount has been credited to the bank account nominated by the Lender in question.
- (e) For the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to Clause 16.8 (No Conversion Price below Par Value) no adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made as a consequence of a Triggering Dividend.
16.10 Capitalisation of profits or reserves
If the Company intends to issue any Shares credited as fully paid to Shareholders by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves, including any share premium account or capital redemption reserve (other than an issue of Shares constituting a cash Dividend pursuant to paragraph (a) of the definition of "Dividend") (a "Capitalisation Event"), and an adjustment to the Conversion Price that would otherwise have followed from the operation of paragraph (b) of Clause 16.1 (Adjustments) above cannot be effected as a consequence of Clause 16.8 (No Conversion Price below Par Value), then the Company shall procure that the general meeting of the Company, or the Company's board of directors based on an authorisation from a general meeting or other applicable legal authority, approves a reduction in the Par Value of the Shares such that the provisions of Clause 16.8 (No Conversion Price below Par Value) no longer prevent the operation in full of any adjustment to the Conversion Price that would occur pursuant to paragraph (b) of Clause 16.1 (Adjustments) as a result of such Capitalisation Event, such reduction in Par Value to take effect prior to the "Effective Date" as defined in paragraph (b) of Clause 16.1 (Adjustments).
16.11 Change of Par Value
For the avoidance of doubt, an adjustment of Par Value (other than in connection with a consolidation, reclassification, redesignation or subdivision as set out in paragraph (a) of Clause 16.1 (Adjustments)) shall not in itself result in an adjustment of the Conversion Price.
17 MERGER
17.1 Conversion Rights under Mergers

Such supplemental agreement shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in Clause 16 (Adjustment of the Conversion Price). The above shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to any subsequent consolidations, amalgamations or mergers.
17.2 Right to object
The provisions of this Clause 17 have no limitation on the creditor's right of objection to the merger or de-merger.
