Exhibit 99.1

 

Swvl Reports Receipt of Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Notification

 

Dubai, United Arab Emirates – November 4, 2022 – Swvl Holdings Corp (“Swvl” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SWVL), a global provider of transformative tech-enabled mass transit solutions, today reported that the Company received a letter (the “Letter”) from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company is currently not in compliance with Nasdaq Rule 5450(a)(1), as the Company’s closing bid price for its Class A ordinary shares (the “Ordinary Shares”) was below $1.00 per share for the last 30 consecutive business days.

 

The Nasdaq Stock Market Rules provide the Company a period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance. According to the Letter, the Company has until May 1, 2023, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. The Company will regain compliance, if at any time during this 180-day period, the closing bid price of its Ordinary Shares is at least $1.00 for a minimum period of ten consecutive business days, in which case the Company will be provided with a written confirmation of compliance from Nasdaq and this matter will be closed.

 

If the Company does not demonstrate compliance prior to the end of the 180-day period ending May 1, 2023, the Nasdaq’s staff will notify the Company that its Ordinary Shares will be subject to delisting.

 

However, the Company may then be eligible for additional time to regain compliance, of up to a further 180 calendar days, if it meets the continued listing requirement for the market value of its publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Global Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement. To be eligible, the Company will also need to provide further written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period.

 

It is noted that Swvl’s continued listing on Nasdaq remains a key priority for the Company. Should the situation not resolve itself over the above-mentioned timeframe, the Company intends to consider available options to cure the deficiency and regain compliance with the minimum bid requirement within the compliance period, including by potentially approving a reverse share split.

 

The Letter from Nasdaq has no immediate effect on the Company’s Nasdaq listing or the trading of its Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq, and during the aforementioned cure period, as may be extended, the Company’s Ordinary Shares will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “SWVL”.

Swvl Reports Further Steps in its Portfolio Optimization Program

 

Dubai, United Arab Emirates – November 25, 2022 – Swvl Holdings Corp (“Swvl” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SWVL), a global provider of transformative tech-enabled mass transit solutions, today reported that it is implementing further measures as part of its previously announced and ongoing portfolio optimization program to reduce costs.

 

These further measures will include the following:

 

·Focus on the largest markets which contribute the majority of Swvl’s revenues, primarily in Egypt and Mexico

·Evaluation of strategic alternatives for smaller countries of operations which can include potential sale, scale back or discontinuation of these operations

·Reduction in headcount by over 50%
 ·Reduction in operating expenses across central costs as well as all markets. These include aggressive cost cutting in discretionary spending such as marketing expenses and other third-party services.

 

Swvl is taking these measures amid the continuing uncertainty in the global economic environment and volatility in capital markets, which potentially impact Swvl’s ability to generate sufficient cash from operating activities and external financings to fund working capital and service its commitments.

hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Parties”, and each individually a “Party”.

 

Recitals:

 

A.On 29 April 2022, the agreement for the sale and purchase (the “SPA”) of the entire issued share capital of Volt Lines B.V., a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid), duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the Netherlands, having its registered offices at Jan van Goyenkade 8, 1075 HP Amsterdam, the Netherlands registered with the Trade Register of the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under number 74802992 (the “Company”) was entered into by, amongst others, SEEF as one of the sellers, Swvl Global as the buyer, and Swvl Holdings (in comprehensive: the “Transaction”).

 

   

 

 

B.After Closing, the Parties agreed on certain deviations from the SPA which they wish to lay down in this Agreement.

 

IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

 

1.DEFINITIONS and interpretations

 

1.1.In this Agreement, save where explicitly provided otherwise, capitalised words and expressions have the meaning attributed thereto in the SPA.

 

1.2.In this Agreement Parties agree to deviate from certain provisions in the SPA, which deviations shall only relate to the relation between the Parties to this Agreement as of the date the Agreement has been duly executed by all Parties. Except where this Agreement explicitly deviates from the SPA, the stipulations of the SPA and the rights and obligations of the Parties under and in connection with the SPA remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

 

2.fixed consideration

 

2.1.As part of the Fixed Consideration (Clause 3.2 of the SPA), Swvl Global has the obligation to issue to SEEF 56,650 Svwl shares (Protected Swvl Shares as per Schedule 3 of the SPA). Also, Schedule 5 of the SPA introduces a collar protection mechanism where Swvl Global has a contingent payment obligation towards SEEF in the form of additional Swvl shares to be calculated depending on the share price of a Swvl share at any lock-up expiry date (set as the sixth, twelfth and eighteenth monthiversary of the Closing each applicable to one-third of the total Protected Swvl Shares). Accordingly, the first determination of whether additional Swvl shares would be issued to SEEF would be on 28 November 28 2022 (the sixth monthiversary of the Closing), and would be applicable to one-third of the Protected Swvl Shares of SEEF (i.e. 18,883 shares). If, at that date, the price of a Swvl share were less than $7, such number of Swvl shares would be issued to SEEF so as to bring the total value of 18,883 shares, calculated on the basis of the actual price of a Swvl share as of 28 November 2022, to $132,181.

 

  1

 

 

2.2.The Parties agree to implement a provisional mechanism to expedite the issuance of additional Swvl shares ahead of the determination date of 28 November 2022. In this respect, the price of a Swvl share and floor protection are provisionally set at $0.60 (as opposed to the actual on 28 November 2022) and $6 (as opposed to the $7 in Schedule 5). For clarification, the aforementioned mechanism is provisional and is designed to allow expedite share issuance of the additional Swvl shares to SEEF. The actual determination will be done on 28 November 2022 as per Schedule 5 (based on the actual price of a Swvl share, and the floor protection of $7 — or the ceiling of $13 if applicable). Any difference will offset between the Parties. The issuance of Swvl shares pursuant to this Clause 2.2 does not prejudice the issuance of additional Swvl shares in connection with the valuation assessment pursuant to and in accordance with Schedule 5 of the SPA at any later lockup expiry date (i.e. 28 May 2023 and 28 November 2023).

3.PRICE AND METHOD OF PAYMENT OF THE PRICE

 

3.1Purchase Price and Title to the Shares

 

The total purchase price payable by the Buyer and SWVL INC to the Sellers as consideration for the Shares received by the Buyer shall be equal to (i) the Fixed Consideration, plus (ii) if and to the extent accrued, the Contingent Consideration set out in Section 3.3 below (the “Purchase Price”). Notwithstanding, the sum of the Fixed Consideration together with the maximum Contingent Consideration payable (4 MM plus 0.5 MM), divided by the quantity of Shares (4,476,630) shall be the “Deemed Price Per Share”, which amount equals $1.0052.

 

3.2Fixed Consideration

 

Page 9 of 89

 

 

3.2.1The Buyer and SWVL INC shall pay to the Sellers a fixed amount for the Shares equal to $4,000,000 (the “Fixed Consideration”) which shall be payable as follows:

 

3.2.1.1$1,000,000 (hereinafter the “Payment at Closing”) which shall be distributed between the Sellers (pro rata to the Shares that each Seller sells and transfers to the Buyer) as stated in the Pre-Closing Certificate and shall be paid by the Buyer to the Sellers in cash on the Closing Date (the “Closing Cash Consideration”).

 

3.2.1.2Additionally, after Closing, a total amount of $ 3,000,000 shall be disbursed by the Buyer or SWVL INC in favor of the Sellers (the “Deferred Payment”) in the following terms:

 

(i)SWVL INC undertakes to pay the Sellers on account of the Buyer, an amount of 50,000 common shares of Pivotal Holdings listed in the NASDAQ Stock Exchange, of $10 face value equivalent to $500,000 (the “Pivotal Shares”), through the issuance by Pivotal Holdings of such Pivotal Shares to the Sellers (the “Roll Over”). The Roll Over shall be completed immediately upon the earlier of (a) expiration of a thirty (30) day period following Completion of the De-SPAC Process, and (b) March 31, 2022.

 

In relation thereto, the Buyer undertakes to have the Sellers informed about the de-SPAC Process and to carry out as many acts as may be necessary or convenient in order to execute the Roll Over as soon as possible after Closing Date.

 

In the event that the de-SPAC process has been definitively terminated without success prior to March 31, 2022, for any reason, the Sellers shall be entitled to request at their option and sole discretion, that this payment obligation be substituted by (a) payment in cash of $ 500,000 Roll-Over amount to the Sellers, which shall be payable within thirty (30) days as from the date of request of the Sellers, or (b) common shares of SWVL Inc. on the basis of a $350,000,000 (fully diluted) valuation.

 

(ii)Upon ten (10) business days counted as from the earlier of (a) March 31, 2022, or (b) the Completion of the de-SPAC Process, an amount of $2,500,000 shall be paid by the Buyer to the Sellers in cash.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that, for each installment (if paid in installments), each Seller shall receive the relevant portion of the applicable payment on a pro rata basis, that is, in proportion to the percentage of Shares sold by each Seller on the Closing Date.

 

(iii)If the Buyer fails to make any of the Deferred Payments or to pay any portion of the Contingent Consideration, the Sellers shall have the option in their sole discretion (by vote of the majority of the Founders and the majority of the Investors)to take any of the following acts with respect to the entirety of the Shares or any portion of them:

 

A.Sue for damages or specific performance;

 

B.Claim title to the not-paid-for Shares and exercise the Sellers repurchase option granted by and consistent with this sub-section. If any portion of the Fixed Consideration is not paid by the final day of the 180-day period following the Closing, then upon notice from the Sellers of their election to recover title to Shares that have not been paid for, the Buyer shall automatically and immediately forfeit in favor of the Sellers, on a pro rata basis, its title to a quantity of the Shares equal to the dollar amount of the unpaid Fixed Consideration divided by the Deemed Price Per Share. Additionally, if the Contingent Consideration is not paid when due consistent with this Agreement, then upon notice from the Sellers of their election to recover title to unpaid-for Shares, the Buyer shall automatically and immediately forfeit in favor of the Sellers, on a pro rata basis, its title to a quantity of the Shares equal to the dollar amount of the unpaid Contingent Consideration divided by the Deemed Price Per Share. Should Sellers elect to claim title to the not-paid-for Shares, Buyer shall cooperate in documenting the automatic forfeiture and transfer of title to the Sellers by executing an acknowledgement of the transfer. Further, in the event of non-payment of the Fixed Consideration within 180 days of the Closing or in the event of non-payment of the Contingent Consideration when due under this Agreement, Sellers shall have the right to repurchase, on a pro rata basis (except any Investors choosing not to participate in this repurchase option shall be excluded from the calculation of any pro rata amount), all paid-for Shares at 50% of the Deemed Purchase Price; or

C.Require the Buyer to make payment, or to cause SWVL INC (to which payment SWVL INC agrees) to make payment of this deferred payment in shares consistent with the following:

 

1.If SWVL INC has achieved Completion of the de-SPAC Process, then the Shares payable shall be common shares of Pivotal Holdings listed on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange which shall be transferred free of any charge to the Sellers. In this instance, the Shares shall value at the lowest average daily value over any 10, 15, 30 or 60-day period in the 60 days preceding the last date of the sixth month following Closing.

 

2.If SWVL INC has not achieved Completion of the de-SPAC Process, the Shares payable shall be common shares of SWVL INC, which shall be transferred free of any charge to the Sellers. In this instance, the Shares shall be valued based on the $350,000,000.00 valuation of SWVL INC (fully diluted).

 

3.2.2Payments in cash of the Payment at Closing shall be made by means of a swift transfer in immediately available funds to the bank accounts of the Sellers indicated to Buyer in writing in the Pre- Closing Certificate (the “Sellers’ Bank Accounts”), net of any charge or commission.

 

At Closing, the Buyer shall make the relevant bank transfer payment and the Sellers shall declare in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Buyer, that they have received the portion of the Payment at Closing to their full satisfaction.

 

3.3Payments in cash of the Deferred Payment and the Contingent Consideration, if any, shall be made by means of a swift transfer in immediately available funds to the bank accounts of the Sellers included in a certificate to be provided by the Sellers to the Buyer before the payment, net of any charge or commission.

 

3.4Contingent Consideration

 

3.4.1In the event the Company (including all the OpCos) achieves during the year following the Closing, an Annualized Run-Rate Revenue (“ARRR”), which shall mean the Company’s gross sales from any period of three consecutive months multiplied by 4 in a range between $5,760,000 (the “Floor”) and $7,200,000 (the “Goal”, with the difference between the Goal and the Floor defined as the “Desired Increase”), the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers, on a date no later than thirteenth (13) months after the Closing and only if the Registration Condition was satisfied, contingent consideration on a pro rata basis, the amount of which shall be determined as follows (which amount shall be known as the “Contingent Consideration”):

 

(i)ARRR shall be determined based on the Company’s performance during any three-month period in the year following the Closing;

 

(ii)If reference to several periods would result in an ARRR above the Floor, the Parties shall determine Contingent Consideration based on the period that would result in the highest ARRR;

 

(iii)If an ARRR equal to the Floor is achieved, the contingent consideration shall be $20,000.00 and if an ARRR equal to or greater than the Goal is achieved, the contingent consideration shall be $500,000.00;

 

(iv)If the ARRR achieved is above the Floor but below the Goal, the Contingent Consideration payable shall equal the amount of the difference between $500,000 and $20,000 (i.e., $480,000) that is proportional to the amount of the Desired Increase determined by reference to the amount of the Company’s ARRR achieved above the Floor;

 

(v)In no event the Contingent Consideration will be greater than $500,000.00.

 

Page 11 of 89

 

 

3.4.2In the event that the Contingent Consideration has been accrued but the Registration Condition has not been satisfied before the expiration of thirteenth (13) months after the Closing, the payment of the Contingent Consideration shall be postponed until the expiration of a two-week period as from the date in which the Registration Condition is satisfied and such is notified to the Buyer in writing.

 

3.4.3The Parties expressly agree that the Contingent Consideration shall be, if finally accrued and payable, a single amount that forms part of the total Purchase Price payable for the transfer of Sellers’ Shares to the Buyer, but that shall in no event constitute or be deemed as a recurrent or regular (annually or otherwise) payment, remuneration or consideration of any nature. With respect to non-tax purposes, none of the Fixed Consideration shall be subject to offset and only any Contingent Consideration payable shall be subject to offset for any Seller’s Liabilities.

 

3.5Financial Statements through Closing Date as Condition to Certain Payments

 

As a condition to payment of the Deferred Payment and of the Contingent Consideration to Sellers, Sellers shall deliver to Buyer unaudited financial statements encompassing all full months of operations preceding the Closing Date.

4.DEBT, CASH AND WORKING CAPITAL CERTIFICATE

 

4.1The Sellers will provide to the Buyer five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date a certificate (the “Debt, Cash and Working Capital Certificate” or the “DCWC Certificate”) stating:

Any negative net balance on the DCWC Certificate shall be offset exclusively from the Contingent Consideration and no adjustments shall be made to the fixed consideration. Any positive net balance on the DCWC Certificate shall be held by the Company to be used as a reserve for payment of any Sellers’ Liabilities (the “Liability Reserve”) incurred in excess of the Contingent Consideration. At the time of expiration of the Sellers’ Liabilities or at the time of Buyers’ future purchase of the 49% position held by the Sellers after the Closing, at the option of the Sellers, any positive balance remaining in the Liability Reserve shall be deemed Property of the Sellers and shall be transferred to the Sellers on a pro rata basis.

9.6.1Monetary limit for Business Representation and Warranties

 

9.6.1.1The Sellers shall not be liable for any Damages resulting from the breach of the Sellers Business Representations and Warranties in an amount lower than TEN THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($ 10,000) (the “de Minimis Franchise”).

 

9.6.1.2The Sellers shall not be liable for any Damages resulting from the breach of the Sellers Business Representations and Warranties unless the amount recoverable, when aggregated with the amount of all Claims or Third Party Claims in respect of which the Buyer are entitled to recover (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Claim or Third Party Claim for which the Buyer were not entitled to recover by reason of Section 9.6.1.1) exceeds FIFTY THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ($ 50,000) (the “Basket”), in which event the whole amount of all such Claims or Third Party Claims shall be recoverable and not merely the excess.

 

9.6.1.3The maximum aggregate liability payable by Sellers in respect of all and any Claims or Third Party Claims (the cap) resulting from the breach of Business Representations and Warranties, after giving effect to the exclusions provided for in Clauses 9.6.1.1 and 9.6.1.2, shall be 50% of the Purchase Price received by the Sellers at any time.

9.6.1.5Additionally, the Parties agree that any Leakages (as this term is define under section 2.4 of the Business Representations and Warranties) shall be paid dollar for dollar and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be subject to the exclusions provided for in Clauses 9.6.1.1 and 9.6.1.2 or any other cap on liability.

9.8Recovery from a third party

 

9.8.1If the Sellers have paid an amount in discharge of any Claim or Third-Party Claim, and the Buyer or the Company recovers from a third party a sum which indemnifies or compensates the Buyer or the Company (in whole or in part) for the Damages which are the subject matter of such Claim or Third-Party Claim, the Buyer or the Company shall pay to the Sellers as soon as practicable after receipt of such sum an amount equal to the sum recovered from the third party less any costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery.

 

9.9Other limitations of liability

 

9.9.1Provisions and reserves.

9.9.2Actual nature of a loss. The Sellers will only be liable in respect of a Damage actually suffered by the Buyer or the Company or the OpCos. In particular, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Damage shall arise by reason of some liability which at the time that the claim is notified to the Sellers is contingent only, the Sellers shall not be under any obligation to make any payment to the Buyer until such time as such contingent liability ceases to be so contingent and has become an actual liability.

 

9.9.3Insurance: The Sellers shall not be liable in respect of Damage to the extent that the Claim relates to any Damage which is effectively recoverable (and recovered) by the Buyer (or any assignee or successor in title thereof) or the Company or the OpCos from any of its insurers whether such insurance is taken out before or after the Closing Date.

 

9.9.4No double recovery. The same Damage under this Agreement shall only give rise to one recovery by the Buyer under this Agreement.

 

9.9.5Change in Law. The Sellers shall not be liable in respect of a change in any applicable Law or substantial change in the interpretation of any applicable Law by any applicable court or by any Governmental Authority, in either case occurring after the date of this Agreement, whether or not that change, amendment or withdrawal purports to be effective retrospectively in whole or in part after the Closing Date.

 

9.9.6Mitigation. Nothing in this Agreement restricts or limits the general obligation at Law of the Buyer to mitigate any Damage which it may suffer or incur as a consequence of any breach of any Sellers’ Warranties or any other provision of this Agreement or in relation to any other matter, event or circumstance which gives rise to a Damage. Where the Sellers are, or may become, under any obligation to make any payment to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement the Buyer shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate the Damage in respect of which the payment is or may become due.

 

9.10Sole Remedy

 

The rights and remedies contemplated in this Section 9 in respect of a Claim or Third-Party Claim are the sole remedy of the Buyer with respect to a breach of this Agreement by the Sellers.

 

In relation thereto, the Sellers shall be sole parties responsible for any breach of the Sellers Representations and Warranties and the Buyer waives any right it may legally have as shareholder of the Company or otherwise to claim the directors of the Company for liability with respect to any breach of any of the Sellers’ Representations and Warranties or for any other aspect of their management prior to the date of this Agreement except in the cases of fraud or willful misconduct.

 

Page 20 of 89

10.CLAIMS PROCEDURE

 

10.1Notice of a Claim.

 

The Buyer shall promptly serve written notice on the Sellers of any facts or circumstances resulting (i) in any of the Sellers Representations and Warranties being inaccurate, untrue, incomplete or misleading as of the date of this Agreement; (iii) in any other Damage, resulting from the breach of any other contractual obligation under this Agreement, which may result in the Buyer seeking Damages from the Sellers (a “Claim”), provided that the failure to promptly provide the notice of claim shall not release the Sellers from any of their obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that the notice is not timely under Section 9.7 above or to the extent that the relevant Seller has been prejudiced by such failure.

 

Each notice of a Claim shall be sent in accordance with Section 22 and shall contain, with respect to each Claim, (i) a description of the facts and the nature of the Claim, according to the information available at the moment the Notice of Claim is served, (ii) a description of the grounds on which the Seller’s liability for Damages arises under this Agreement, and (iii) the amount claimed (or a reasonable estimation thereof), if it is possible to quantify at that moment.

 

The Buyer shall promptly provide to the Sellers the information (in its possession or control) reasonably required to enable the Seller to analyze any Claim brought by the Buyer.

 

10.2Seller’s Response.

 

Within fifteen (15) Business Days from receipt of a notice of Claim in accordance with Section 10.1 above, the Sellers shall send a written notice to the Buyer in accordance with Section 22 (a “Response”) stating whether:

 

(a)The Sellers consider that the Claim is covered by the Sellers Representations and Warranties or constitutes any other Damage under this Agreement.

 

i.and accepts the amount of the Claim, in which case the Sellers shall pay to the Buyer the amount of the Claim.

 

ii.but does not agree with the amount of the Claim, in which case any of the Parties may start the court proceedings contemplated in Section 23 below, but only in respect of the disputed amount.

 

(b)The Sellers consider that the Claim is not covered by the Sellers Representations and Warranties, or it does not constitute any breach under the Agreement and, therefore, they have no obligation to indemnify the Buyer for any Damages. In this case, the Buyer and any Seller may start the court proceedings contemplated in Section 23 below.

 

In the event that the Sellers fail to send a Response to the Buyer within the required fifteen (15) Business Days period, the provisions in Section 10.2(a) above shall apply.

 

10.3Third Party Claim.

 

In the event that any third party announces or serves notice of a claim (in Court or directly to the Buyer) in connection with the Sellers Representations and Warranties (a “Third-Party Claim”), the Buyer shall give notice to the Sellers of such a Third Party Claim by serving notice of a Claim in accordance with Clause 10.2 above, no later than ten (10) Business Days after the day when the Buyer was served with the Third Party Claim; provided that the failure to provide the notice of claim shall not release the Sellers from any of their obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that such Seller has been prejudiced by such failure.

 

A Third-Party Claim will cause an obligation on the Sellers to indemnify the Buyer or the Company as soon as judgment is issued on the Third-Party Claim requesting a payment or a settlement is reached with the third party.

 

Page 21 of 89

 

 

The provisions in Section 10.2 above shall also apply to notices of a Claim that are based on a Third-Party Claim. Additionally, the Sellers may state in the Response that they will undertake the defense of the Buyer in the Third-Party Claim, in which case the Buyer shall:

 

(a)Promptly execute as many powers of attorney (including general powers to conduct litigation) in favor of as many attorneys and solicitors as the Sellers may reasonably request. The Buyer may however appoint its own co-counsel (at the Buyer’s expense), in which case the Buyers and Sellers shall consult regarding actions and strategies to be taken.

 

(b)Make available to the Sellers on a timely basis all documents, records and other materials in the possession of the Buyer required by the Sellers for its use in defending the Third-Party Claim and shall otherwise cooperate with the Sellers in the defense of such a claim.

 

(c)not have the right to settle, adjust, accept or compromise such Third-Party Claim without the consent of the Sellers; provided, however, that the Sellers shall not unreasonably withhold or delay such consent.

 

(d)be obliged to proceed with any recourse or appeal in the relevant Third-Party Claim proceedings if so requested by the Sellers;

 

(e)be under a duty of diligence when directing the defense of a Third-Party Claim and shall make all reasonable efforts to mitigate the Damage that may result from any such Third-Party Claim.

 

Except with the written consent of the Buyer, the Sellers will not, in the defense of a Third Party Claim, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement (i) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving to the Buyer and all of its Affiliates by the third party of a release from all liability with respect to such suit, claim, action, or proceeding; (ii) unless there is no finding or admission of (A) any violation of Law by the Buyer (or any Affiliate thereof), (B) any liability on the part of the Buyer (or any Affiliate thereof) or (C) any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims of a similar nature that may be made by the same third party against the Buyer (or any Affiliate thereof).

 

If the Sellers do not undertake the defense of the Third-Party Claim (or after assuming such defense, fail to actively and diligently conduct the defense thereof) the Buyer will be entitled to conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim. In this case, the Buyer undertakes to inform the Sellers monthly about the evolution of the Third-Party Claim or, earlier, if there were relevant actions to be taken or a court resolution were made in relation to the same.

 

The Sellers will be bound by any judgment or settlement issued on a Third-Party Claim by a Court of competent jurisdiction, even if the defense of the claim or settlement has been undertaken by the Buyer.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.3, the Sellers shall not be entitled to assume and control the defense of any Third Party Claim that (i) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against Buyer, the Company or the OpCos (or their assets), (ii) involves an allegation that the Buyer, the Company or the OpCos (themselves and/or the management and representatives thereto) committed a criminal act or (iii) would reasonably be expected to result in Damages which, taken with other then-existing Damages for which Sellers are obligated to provide indemnification under Clause 9, would exceed the then remaining limit of liability under Section 9.6.1.3.

 

10.4The Sellers expressly agree that all notices and responses relating to Claims will be addressed to all of them and replied jointly.

 

11.PAYMENT AND SET OFF OF CLAIMS

 

Unless otherwise agreed amongst the Parties and to the extent possible, the amounts to be paid by the Sellers to the Buyer as a result of a Claim under Section 9 and/or Section 10 will be paid (i) first, by operating a downward adjustment to any Contingent Consideration (only in the case that it has been triggered); (ii) next, from the Liability Reserve; and (iii) thirdly, directly by each of the Sellers through a payment in cash.

a.The parties hereto agree that any dispute or controversy arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby (a “Dispute”) shall be arbitrated pursuant to the Delaware Rapid Arbitration Act, 10 Del. C. § 5801, et seq. (the “DRAA”). The parties agree to take all steps necessary or advisable to submit any Dispute that cannot be resolved by the parties for arbitration under the DRAA (the “Arbitration”) in accordance with this Section 9.5, and each party represents and warrants that it is not a “consumer” as such term is defined in 6 Del. C. § 2731. By executing this Agreement, (i) each party hereby waives, and acknowledges and agrees that it shall be deemed to have waived, any objection to the application of the procedures set forth in the DRAA, (ii) consents to the procedures set forth in the DRAA, and (iii) acknowledges and agrees that it has chosen freely to waive the matters set forth in subsections (b) and (c) of Section 5803 of the DRAA. IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT IT SHALL RAISE NO OBJECTION TO THE SUBMISSION OF THE DISPUTE TO ARBITRATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION 6(h) AND THAT IT WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO LAY CLAIM TO JURISDICTION IN ANY VENUE AND ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO HAVE THE DISPUTE DECIDED BY A JURY.

 

b.The Arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Model Rules for Arbitration under the DRAA, as such Rules may be amended or changed from time to time; provided that the parties to such Arbitration may agree to depart from the Model Rules by (i) adopting new or different rules to govern the Arbitration or (ii) modifying or rejecting the application of certain of the Model Rules.

 

c.The Arbitration shall take place in Wilmington, Delaware, or any other location to which the parties and the Arbitrator may agree. All Parties shall have the right, if doing so can be reasonably accommodated by the Arbitrator, to attend any preliminary or final hearings, and to present evidence, remotely.

 

d.The Arbitration shall be presided over by one arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) who shall be mutually agreed to by the parties to such Arbitration. In the event that the parties are unable to agree upon the identity of the Arbitrator within forty-five (45) days of the commencement of the Arbitration, then either party may file a petition with the Court of Chancery pursuant to Section 5805 of the DRAA.

 

e.The Arbitrator shall conduct the hearing, administer oaths, and make such rulings as are appropriate to the conduct of the proceedings. The Arbitrator shall allow each of the parties an opportunity to present evidence and witnesses and to cross examine witnesses presented by the opposing party. In no event, however, shall witnesses other than employees or experts retained or employed by the parties, or former employees of the parties, be called to testify at the Arbitration.

 

f.The arbitral award (the “Award”) shall (i) be rendered within 120 days after the Arbitrator’s acceptance of his or her appointment; (ii) be delivered in writing; (iii) be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to the Dispute between and among the parties; and (iv) be accompanied by a form of judgment. The Award shall be deemed an award of the United States, the relationship between the parties shall be deemed commercial in nature, and any Dispute arbitrated pursuant to this Section 6(h) shall be deemed commercial. The Arbitrator shall have the authority to grant any equitable or legal remedies, including, without limitation, entering preliminary or permanent injunctive relief; provided, however, that the Arbitrator shall not have the authority to award (and the parties waive the right to seek an award of) punitive or exemplary damages.

 

g.The parties hereto agree that, subject to any non-waivable disclosure obligations under federal law, the Arbitration, and all matters relating thereto or arising thereunder, including, without limitation, the existence of the Dispute, the Arbitration and all of its elements (including any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions, and any decision of the Arbitrator or Award), shall be kept strictly confidential, and each party hereby agrees that such information shall not be disclosed beyond: (i) the Arbitrator and necessary support personnel; (ii) the participants in the Arbitration; (iii) those assisting the parties in the preparation or presentation of the Arbitration; and (iv) other employees or agents of the parties with a need to know such information. In all events, the parties participating in the Arbitration proceedings shall treat information pertaining to the Arbitration with the same care that they treat their most valuable proprietary secrets. In the event that federal law imposes upon either party an obligation to disclose the fact of the Arbitration or the nature of the claims or counterclaims asserted, such party(ies) shall disclose no more than the minimum information required by law after first consulting with and attempting in good faith to reach agreement with the opposing party(ies) regarding the scope and content of any such required disclosure.

 

Page 27 of 89

 

 

h.Each party hereto shall bear its own legal fees and costs in connection with the Arbitration; provided, however, that each such party shall pay one-half of any filing fees, fees and expenses of the Arbitrator or other similar costs incurred by the parties in connection with the prosecution of the Arbitration.

 

i.Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement, or any statute protecting the confidentiality of the Arbitration and proceedings taken in connection therewith, in the event that either party in the Arbitration is required to defend himself, herself or itself in response to later proceedings instituted by the other in any court, relating to matters decided in the Arbitration, such party shall be relieved of any obligation to hold confidential the Arbitration and its proceedings in order to submit, confidentially if and to the extent possible, sufficient information to such court to allow it to determine whether the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, bar by judgment, or other, similar doctrines apply to such subsequent proceedings.

 

j.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6(h), if any amendment to the Act or the DRAA is enacted after the date of this Agreement, and such amendment would render any provision of this Section 6(h) unenforceable thereunder, such provision shall be excluded and the remaining provisions of this Section 6(h) shall be enforced to the extent permitted by law.

 

23.3WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL: EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, THE SECURITIES OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR THEREOF. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. THIS SECTION HAS BEEN FULLY DISCUSSED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THESE PROVISIONS WILL NOT BE SUBJECT TO ANY EXCEPTIONS. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT SUCH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT SUCH PARTY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.

For this purpose, said transfers will be subject to the following procedure:

(i)The Stockholder proposing to transfer (the “Selling Stockholder”) shall serve written notice by means that confirm faithfully contents and receipt, to the Board of Directors of the Company, expressly stating the identity of the prospective purchaser or purchasers and the conditions of the offer (number of shares, price, payment conditions and any other that may be included in the offer) (the “Transfer Notice”).

(ii)The Board of Directors of the Company shall serve written notice by means that confirm contents and receipt, to the rest of Stockholders including the terms of the offer received and shall call a Meeting of stockholders that shall take place within one (1) month as from the receipt by the Board of Directors of the Company of the Transfer Notice.

(iii)All Stockholders will be able to exercise their pre-emptive right over the shares in the offer, at the same price and conditions as those stated in the Transfer Notice, in the Meeting of stockholders called by the Board of Directors of the Company for such purpose. Should the right be exercised by more than one Stockholder, the shares shall be distributed among them prorate basis to their respective stakes in the Company’s share capital.

(iv)If none of the Stockholders exercise their pre-emptive right or, doing so, such does not cover all the shares subject to the purchase offer, the referred Meeting of stockholders may approve the acquisition of the remaining shares by the Company, at the same price and at the same conditions as stated in the offer.

(v)If neither the Stockholders nor the Company exercise, respectively, their Right of First Refusal over all the shares subject to the purchase offer, the Selling Stockholder shall be free to transfer said shares, as long as the same are transferred to the interested party in the conditions initially notified to the Board of Directors of the Company in the Transfer Notice. If said transaction is not carried out within a period of two (2) months as from the end of the one (1) month period stated above or since the holding of the Meeting of stockholders, the Stockholder shall start the process again from the beginning.

c)Tag Along Right: If prior to expiration of the Lock-up Period, in the event that any Pre-Closing Stockholder jointly or separately receives an offer from SWVL Global or another Stockholder for the purchase of any quantity of his or her shares of Company stock (the “Tagged Stockholder”), consistent with subject to Section 5.2(a) above, the rest of the Stockholders shall hold a tag along right (the “Tag Along Right”) over the shares the Tagged Stockholder(s) proposes to transfer, which may be a portion or all of the shares held by the Tagged Stockholder. The Tag Along Right entitles a Stockholder to sell up to the same percentage of his or her holdings (the “Eligible Shares”) as the percentage of the Tagged Stockholder’s shares that is being sold. Each quantity of Eligible Shares to be sold by a Stockholder exercising the Tag Along Right shall reduce on a one-for-one basis the quantity of shares to be sold by the Tagged Stockholder.

Page 53 of 89

For this purpose, SWVL Global or the Stockholder intending to acquire shares from another Pre-Closing Stockholder shall deliver a Transfer Notice to all Pre-Closing Stockholders and the Board of Directors of the Company. All Stockholders shall be entitled, as stated above, to sell their stock under the same terms and conditions as agreed by the Tagged Stockholder. Should any Stockholder exercise its Tag Along Right, the Tagged Stockholder may not transfer his or her shares unless the quantity transferred is reduced by all Eligible Shares for which other Stockholders have chosen to exercise their Tag Along Right.

5.3.Transmissions Mortis Causa: Concerning transmissions mortis causa, in case of the death of a Stockholder who is a natural person (if any), the acquirer of shares through mortis causa transfers shall be compelled to adhere to this Shareholder Agreement upon acquisition of the shares.

For the purposes of this Shareholder Agreement, “Charges, Liens and Restrictions” means any legal or contractual charges, liens or restrictions over the absolute ownership of the shares and/or any of the equity holding (financial) or corporate governance (non- financial) rights deriving from the same, including but not limited to, any (i) pledge; (ii) assignment by way of charge; (iii) assignment by way of mortgage; (iv) assignment subject to term or condition; (v) usufruct; (vi) options or acquisition rights of any kind in favor of any third party; and (vii) assignment by way of charge, assignment by way of mortgage or assignment subject to term or condition of rights to any dividend, in shares or in kind, or of any other financial or non-financial rights, expressly excluding the delegation of vote in favor of a Stockholder.

5.5.Consequences of Breach: Any transfer of Company shares that does not comply with the provisions of this Shareholder Agreement shall not be valid or enforceable against the Company and shall be null and void.

Likewise, the granting of Charges, Liens and Restrictions over the Company shares shall not be valid or enforceable against the Company, save where approved or executed in accordance with Section 5.4 above.

The Board of Directors shall refuse to record in the register of shares (i) any transfers that do not comply with these provisions of this Shareholder Agreement; and/or (ii) the granting of any Charges, Liens and Restrictions over the Company shares, save where approved or executed in accordance with Section 5.4 above.

The Pre-Closing Stockholders shall be entitled to reject any offer, even if the offer is based on a price greater than the Deemed Purchase Price Per Share, but in such case, they will not have any right under this Section 6.1. For the avoidance of doubt, the right of the Pre-Closing Stockholders and of the Company to repurchase or redeem shares under this Section 6.1 can only be exercised if the Filing Condition established in the SPA has been satisfied (excluding any waiver of such Filing Condition by SWVL Global).

The engagement for the Initial Exit Process Period shall be under the understanding that the Advisor will conduct a search for potential purchasers willing to acquire all of the remaining shares of the Pre-Closing Stockholders, and none of the shares of SWVL Global in the Company.

The acceptance shall be preliminary as it shall be subject to the Right of First Refusal set forth above.

At the ROFR Meeting, SWVL Global shall be entitled to exercise its Right of First Refusal but shall not be entitled to exercise Tag Along Rights.

The Pre-Closing Stockholders (by majority vote of the Founders and majority vote of the Investors) shall have the right to accept the highest offer open at the end of the Drag-along Sale Period. After accepting an offer for the purchase of 100% of the Shares of the Company from a third-party, arms-length buyer, all the Stockholders shall be obligated to sell 100% of their shares of Common Stock to the buyer pursuant to the terms of a stock purchase agreement to be negotiated by the Pre-Closing Stockholders.

7.PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHT

7.1.If the Company authorized the issuances of new shares of Common Stock to raise equity capital, the Stockholders shall have a pre-emptive right in any capital increase which shall be subject to Board Approval and approval of the percentage of the Pre-Closing Stockholders specified for reserved matters in Section 3.3 above) and issuing of new shares, proportionally to their relative ownership in the share capital of the Company.

LEGAL DISPUTES

Viapool SRL is currently a party to the following legal disputes:

Legal case: “GONGORA c/ LOTO CONZI s/ DESPIDO”

Court: San Isidro Labor Court Nº 1

File Number: 36238/2019

Start Date: 22/10/2019

Claim: Severance pay. Labor relationship not regular.

Total amount of the claim: AR$1,500,000 (Argentinean Pesos)

Description:

Góngora claims that he was a driver for a remis (similar to a taxi) agency (Fénix) that worked with Viapool SRL. Upon termination of the employment relationship between him and Fénix, the plaintiff claims compensation for unrecorded overtime from the agency and claims Viapool SRL is jointly and severally liable. The claimant does not have any support to demonstrate any link with Viapool SRL and himself, but the Argentine labor justice tends to be pro-employee.

Legal case: “MORALES DE LA JARA c/ VIAPOOL s/ DESPIDO”

Court: First Instance National Labor Court Nº 32

File Number: 39441/19

Start Date: 30/10/2019

Claim: Redundancy payment. Claim on seniority not recognized in the settlement.

Total amount of the claim: AR$1,800,000

Description:

Morales de la Jara is a former Viapool SRL employee that was incorporated in 2015 as part of the merger with Safertaxi. He belonged to the Safertaxi staff between 2012 and 2015, and he quit at the time of making the payroll transfer.

In 2018 he claimed us to recognize his seniority since 2012, we denied it and he quit with a judicial claim in between. Viapool SRL’s chances of prevailing in this dispute are low. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Viapool SRL will strive to settle this matter at the lowest possible cost.

Exhibit 99.1

 

Swvl Announces Commencement of Strategic Review Process

 

Dubai, United Arab Emirates – December 30, 2022 – Swvl Holdings Corp (“Swvl” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SWVL), a global provider of transformative tech-enabled mass transit solutions, today announced the formation of a special committee (the "Strategic Committee") comprised of independent directors of the Company’s Board of Directors (the "Board") to explore and evaluate potential strategic alternatives that may be available to the Company. As part of the process, the Strategic Committee will consider a full range of strategic alternatives including corporate sale, merger or other business combination, a sale of all or a portion of the company’s assets, strategic investment, new debt or equity financings or other significant transaction (collectively, "Potential Strategic Transactions").

 

The Strategic Committee will manage all expressions of interest relating to any proposed Potential Strategic Transactions that may be forthcoming, and will work with professional advisors to assess the fairness of Potential Strategic Transactions to shareholders and other stakeholders and make recommendations to the Company's Board in respect of all such matters.

 

The Company has not set a timetable for completion of the process and does not intend to comment further with respect to the strategic review process unless and until it determines that additional disclosure is appropriate in the circumstances and in accordance with applicable securities laws.

 

While the Company intends to evaluate all options fairly to maximize value for shareholders and other stakeholders, there can be no assurance that the strategic review process will result in any transaction, or if a transaction is undertaken, as to its terms or timing.

 

The Company is taking these measures amid the continuing uncertainty in the global economic environment and volatility in capital markets, which potentially impact Swvl’s ability to generate sufficient cash from operating activities and external financings to fund working capital and service its commitments. If the Company is unable to execute on any of these Potential Strategic Transactions or generate cash flows necessary to expand its operations and invest in continued innovation, it may not be able to compete successfully, and may need to scale back or discontinue parts or all of its operations in order to further reduce costs or seek bankruptcy protection.

 

In parallel to this process, the Company will continue with previously announced and ongoing cost reduction measures including discontinuation of certain operations. The discontinuation can take the form of liquidation or insolvency of local entities.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates – January 16, 2023 – Swvl Holdings Corp (“Swvl” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SWVL), a global provider of transformative tech-enabled mass transit solutions, today announced that on January 11, 2023, it received written notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) advising the Company that it was not in compliance with Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) requiring companies listed on the Nasdaq Global Market to maintain a minimum market value of listed securities of $50,000,000 (the “MVLS Requirement”). Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) requiring companies listed on the Nasdaq Global Market to maintain a minimum market value of listed securities of $50,000,000.

5

 

 

5.2In lieu of, or apart from, closing the Register of Members, the Directors may fix in advance or arrears a date as the record date for any such determination of Members entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of the Members or any adjournment thereof, or for the purpose of determining the Members entitled to receive payment of any Distribution, or in order to make a determination of Members for any other purpose.

 

5.3If the Register of Members is not so closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of Members entitled to notice of, or to vote at, a meeting of Members or Members entitled to receive payment of a Distribution, the date on which notice of the meeting is sent or the date on which the Resolution of Directors resolving to pay such Distribution is passed, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of Members. When a determination of Members entitled to vote at any meeting of Members has been made as provided in this Article, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof (unless otherwise provided by a Resolution of Directors).

 

6Certificates for Shares

 

6.1A Member shall only be entitled to a share certificate if the Directors resolve by Resolution of Directors that share certificates shall be issued. Share certificates representing Shares, if any, shall be in such form as the Directors may determine. Share certificates shall be signed by one or more Directors or other persons authorised by the Directors or shall be given under Seal. The Directors may authorise certificates to be issued with the authorised signature(s) or Seal affixed by mechanical process. All certificates for Shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified and shall specify the Shares to which they relate. All certificates surrendered to the Company for transfer shall be cancelled and, subject to the Articles, no new certificate shall be issued until the former certificate representing a like number of relevant Shares shall have been surrendered and cancelled.

 

6.2The Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate for Shares held jointly by more than one person and delivery of a certificate to one joint holder shall be a sufficient delivery to all of them.

 

6.3If a share certificate is defaced, worn out, lost or destroyed, it may be renewed on such terms (if any) as to evidence and indemnity and on the payment of such expenses reasonably incurred or sustained by the Company in investigating evidence, as the Directors may prescribe, and (in the case of defacement or wearing out) upon delivery of the old certificate.

 

6.4Every share certificate sent in accordance with the Articles will be sent at the risk of the Member or other person entitled to the certificate. The Company will not be responsible for any share certificate lost or delayed in the course of delivery.

 

7Transfer of Shares

If the Shares in question were issued in conjunction with rights, options or warrants issued pursuant to the Articles on terms that one cannot be transferred without the other, the Directors shall refuse to register the transfer of any such Share without evidence satisfactory to them of the like transfer of rights, options or warrants.

 

6

 

 

7.2The instrument of transfer of any Share shall be in writing and shall be executed by or on behalf of the transferor (and if registration as a holder of the Shares imposes a liability to the Company on the transferee, signed by or on behalf of the transferee) and contain the name and address of the transferee. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of a Share until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register of Members.

 

7.3Where Shares are listed on a Recognised Exchange, in accordance with section 54A of the Statute, the Shares may be transferred without the need for a written instrument of transfer if the transfer is carried out in accordance with the law, rules, procedures and other requirements applicable to shares listed on the Recognised Exchange and Articles 7.1 and 7.2 shall be interpreted accordingly.

 

8Redemption, Repurchase and Surrender of Shares

 

8.1Subject to the provisions of the Statute (save that sections 60, 61 and 62 of the Statute shall not apply to the Company), the terms attached to Shares, as specified in the Memorandum and the Articles, may provide for such Shares to be redeemed or to be liable to be redeemed at the option of the Member or the Company on such terms as so specified.

 

8.2Subject to the provisions of the Statute (save that sections 60, 61 and 62 of the Statute shall not apply to the Company), the Company may purchase or otherwise acquire its own Shares (including any redeemable Shares) in such manner and on such other terms as the Directors may agree with the relevant Member.

 

8.3The Company may make a payment in respect of the redemption, purchase or other acquisition of its own Shares in any manner permitted by the Statute.

 

8.4The Company may accept the surrender for no consideration of any fully paid Share including, for the avoidance of doubt, a Treasury Share. Any such surrender shall be in writing and signed by the Member holding the Share or Shares.

 

9Treasury Shares

 

Subject to the Statute, the Directors may, prior to the purchase, redemption or surrender of any Share, resolve by Resolution of Directors that such Share shall be held as a Treasury Share.

 

10Commission on Sale of Shares

 

The Company may pay a commission to any person in consideration of his, her or its subscribing or agreeing to subscribe (whether absolutely or conditionally) or procuring or agreeing to procure subscriptions (whether absolutely or conditionally) for any Shares. Such commissions may be satisfied by the payment of cash and/or, subject to the Statute, the issue of fully or partly paid-up Shares. The Company may also on any issue of Shares pay such brokerage as may be lawful.

 

11Non Recognition of Trusts

 

The Company shall not be bound by or compelled to recognise in any way (even when notified) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share, or (except only as is otherwise provided by the Articles or the Statute) any other rights in respect of any Share other than an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the holder.

 

7

 

 

12Lien on Shares

 

12.1The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on all Shares (whether fully paid-up or not) registered in the name of a Member (whether solely or jointly with others) for all debts, liabilities or engagements to or with the Company (whether presently payable or not) by such Member or his, her or its estate, either alone or jointly with any other person, whether a Member or not, but the Directors may at any time declare any Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The registration of a transfer of any such Share shall operate as a waiver of the Company's lien thereon. The Company's lien on a Share shall also extend to any amount payable in respect of that Share.

 

12.2The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors think fit, any Shares on which the Company has a lien, if a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently due and payable, and is not paid within fourteen (14) clear days after notice has been received or deemed to have been received by the holder of the Shares, or to the person entitled to it in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder, demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the Shares may be sold.

 

12.3To give effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise any person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. The purchaser or his, her or its nominee shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer, and he, she or it shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his, her or its title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the sale or the exercise of the Company's power of sale under the Articles.

 

12.4The net proceeds of such sale after payment of costs, shall be applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable and any balance shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares before the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the Shares at the date of the sale.

 

13Call on Shares

 

13.1Subject to the terms of the allotment and issue of any Shares, the Directors may make calls upon the Members in respect of any monies unpaid on their Shares, and each Member shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen (14) clear days' notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on the Shares. A call may be revoked or postponed, in whole or in part, as the Directors may determine. A call may be required to be paid by instalments. A person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon him or her notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made.

 

13.2A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the Resolution of Directors authorising such call was passed.

 

13.3The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.

 

13.4If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, the person from whom it is due shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until it is paid at such rate as the Directors may determine (and in addition all expenses that have been incurred or sustained by the Company by reason of such non-payment), but the Directors may waive payment of the interest or expenses wholly or in part.

 

8

 

 

13.5An amount payable in respect of a Share on issue or allotment or at any fixed date shall be deemed to be a call and if it is not paid all the provisions of the Articles shall apply as if that amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call.

 

13.6The Company may issue Shares with different terms as to the amount and times of payment of calls, or the interest to be paid.

 

13.7The Company may, by Resolution of Directors, if the Directors think fit, receive an amount from any Member willing to advance all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any Shares held by him or her, and may (until the amount would otherwise become payable) pay interest at such rate as may be agreed upon between the Directors and the Member paying such amount in advance.

 

13.8No such amount paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such amount to any portion of a dividend or other Distribution payable in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such amount would, but for such payment, become payable.

 

14Forfeiture of Shares

 

14.1If a call or instalment of a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the Company may give to the person from whom it is due not less than fourteen (14) clear days' notice requiring payment of the amount unpaid together with any interest which may have accrued and any expenses incurred or sustained by the Company by reason of such non-payment. The notice shall specify where payment is to be made and shall state that if the notice is not complied with the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

 

14.2If the notice is not complied with, any Share in respect of which it was given may, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a Resolution of Directors. Such forfeiture shall include all Distributions or other monies payable in respect of the forfeited Share and not paid before the forfeiture.

 

14.3A forfeited Share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit and at any time before a sale, re-allotment or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit. Where for the purposes of its disposal a forfeited Share is to be transferred to any person the Directors may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Share in favour of that person.

 

14.4A person any of whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of them and shall surrender to the Company for cancellation the certificate for the Shares forfeited.

 

14.5A certificate in writing under the hand of one Director or officer of the Company that a Share has been forfeited on a specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. The certificate shall (subject to the execution of an instrument of transfer) constitute a good title to the Share and the person to whom the Share is sold or otherwise disposed of shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his, her or its title to the Share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the Share.

 

14.6The provisions of the Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time as if it had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

 

9

 

 

15Transmission of Shares

 

15.1If a Member dies the survivor or survivors (where he, she or it was a joint holder) or his, her or its legal personal representatives (where he, she or it was a sole holder), shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to his, her or its Shares. The estate of a deceased Member is not thereby released from any liability in respect of any Share, for which he, she or it was a joint or sole holder.

 

15.2Any person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such evidence being produced as may be required by the Directors, elect, by a notice in writing sent by him or her to the Company, either to become the holder of such Share or to have some person nominated by him or her registered as the holder of such Share. If he, she or it elects to have another person registered as the holder of such Share he, she or it shall sign an instrument of transfer of that Share to that person. The Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before his, her or its death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution, as the case may be.

 

15.3A person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the same Distributions and other advantages to which he, she or it would be entitled if he, she or it were the holder of such Share. However, he, she or it shall not, before becoming a Member in respect of a Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to general meetings of the Company and the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered himself or to have some person nominated by him or her be registered as the holder of the Share (but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before his, her or its death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution or any other case than by transfer, as the case may be). If the notice is not complied with within ninety (90) days of being received or deemed to be received (as determined pursuant to the Articles) the Directors may thereafter withhold payment of all Distributions or other monies payable in respect of the Share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

 

16Offices and Places of Business

 

Subject to the provisions of the Statute, the Company may by Resolution of Directors change the location of its Registered Office and its Registered Agent, provided that the Company's Registered Office shall at all times be the office of the Registered Agent. The Company may, in addition to its Registered Office, maintain such other offices or places of business as the Directors determine.

 

17General Meetings

 

17.1All general meetings other than annual general meetings shall be called extraordinary general meetings.

 

10

 

 

17.2The Company may, but shall not be obliged to, in each year hold a general meeting as its annual general meeting, and, where called, shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it. Any annual general meeting shall be held at such time and place as the Directors shall appoint.

 

17.3The Directors, by Resolution of Directors, or the chairman, if any, of the board of Directors, acting alone, may, and the Directors shall upon receipt of a valid Members’ Requisition, call general meetings. Only those matters set forth in the notice of the general meeting or, solely with respect to an annual general meeting or an extraordinary general meeting convened upon a Members’ Requisition, properly requested in accordance with Article 17.8, may be considered or acted upon at a general meeting. In addition to the other requirements set forth in the Articles, for any proposal of business to be considered at a general meeting, it must be a proper subject for action by Members of the Company under the Statute.

 

17.4A Members' requisition is a requisition of Members holding at the date of deposit of the requisition not less than thirty (30) per cent. of the voting power of the issued Shares which as at that date carry the right to vote in respect of the matter for which the meeting is requested.

 

17.5The Members' requisition must state the objects of the meeting and must be signed by the requisitionists and deposited at the Registered Office, and may consist of several documents in like form each signed by one or more requisitionists.

 

17.6If there are no Directors as at the date of the deposit of the Members' requisition or if the Directors do not within twenty-one (21) days from the date of the deposit of the Members' requisition duly proceed to convene a general meeting to be held within a further twenty-one (21) days, the requisitionists, or any of them representing more than one-half of the total voting rights of all of the requisitionists, may themselves convene a general meeting, but any meeting so convened shall be held no later than the day which falls three (3) months after the expiration of the said twenty-one (21) day period.

 

17.7A general meeting convened as aforesaid by requisitionists shall be convened in the same manner as nearly as possible as that in which general meetings are to be convened by Directors.

 

11

 

 

17.8For nominations of candidates for appointment as Director ("Director Nominations") or other business to be properly brought (x) by a Member before an annual general meeting or (y) by Requisitioning Members before an extraordinary general meeting convened upon a Members’ Requisition, the Director Nomination or other business must be (i) specified in the notice of the general meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Directors by Resolution of Directors, (ii) brought before the general meeting by the person presiding over the meeting or (iii) otherwise properly requested to be brought before the meeting by a Member of the Company or by the Requisitioning Members, as applicable, in accordance with this Article 17.8.

17.9A Member or Requisitioning Members providing Timely Notice of Director Nomination or other business proposed to be brought before a general meeting shall further update and supplement such notice, if necessary, so that the information (including the Material Ownership Interests information) provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to the Articles shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to such general meeting, and such update and supplement must be received by any Director at the Registered Office not later than the close of business on the fifth (5th) business day after the record date for the general meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date), and not later than the close of business on the eighth (8th) business day prior to the date of the general meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days prior to the meeting).

17.10Only such persons who are nominated for appointment as a Director in accordance with the provisions of the Articles shall be eligible for appointment and to serve as Directors once appointed in accordance with the Articles and only such other business shall be conducted at an general meeting as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of the Articles. The Directors or a designated committee thereof, through a Resolution of Directors, shall have the power to determine whether a Director Nomination or any other business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made in accordance with the provisions of the Articles. If neither the Directors nor such designated committee makes a determination as to whether any Director Nomination or other proposal was made in accordance with the provisions of the Articles, the presiding person of the general meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether the Director Nomination or other proposal was made in accordance with the provisions of the Articles. If the Directors or a designated committee thereof or the presiding person, as applicable, determines that any Director Nomination or other proposal was not made in accordance with the provisions of the Articles, such proposal or nomination shall be disregarded and shall not be presented for action at the general meeting.

 

14

 

 

17.11Except as otherwise required by applicable law, nothing in this Article 17 shall obligate the Company or the Directors to include in any proxy statement or other Member communication distributed on behalf of the Company or the Directors information with respect to any nominee for appointment of a Director or any other business submitted or proposed by a Member.

 

17.12Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 18, if the nominating or proposing Member or the Requisitioning Members (or a qualified representative of the Member or the Requisitioning Members) do not appear at the general meeting to present a Director Nomination or any other business, such Director Nomination or other business shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Company. For purposes of this Article 17, to be considered a qualified representative of the proposing Member or Requisitioning Members, a person must be authorised by a written instrument executed by such Member or Requisitioning Members or an electronic transmission delivered by such Member or Requisitioning Members to act for such Member or Requisitioning Members as proxy at the meeting of Members and such person must produce such written instrument or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the written instrument or electronic transmission, to the presiding person at the general meeting.

 

17.13For purposes of the Articles, "public announcement" shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable international or national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant to section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or the rules of the Recognised Exchange.

 

17.14Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of the Articles, a Member and the Requisitioning Members shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Statute and all applicable laws, rules and regulations with respect to the matters set forth in the Articles.

 

18Notice of General Meetings

 

18.1At least seven (7) clear days' notice shall be given of any general meeting. Every notice shall specify the place, the day and the hour of the meeting and the general nature of the business to be conducted at the general meeting and shall be given in the manner hereinafter mentioned or in such other manner if any as may be prescribed by the Company, provided that a general meeting of the Company shall, whether or not the notice specified in this Article has been given and whether or not the provisions of the Articles regarding general meetings have been complied with, be deemed to have been duly convened if it is so agreed:

 

(a)in the case of an annual general meeting, by all of the Members entitled to attend and vote thereat; and

 

(b)in the case of an extraordinary general meeting, by a majority in number of the Members having a right to attend and vote at the meeting, together holding not less than ninety five (95) per cent. in par value (if all the issued Shares have a par value), or otherwise by number of the Shares giving that right.

 

18.2Notwithstanding any other provision of the Articles, the accidental omission to give notice of a general meeting to, or the non receipt of notice of a general meeting by, any person entitled to receive such notice, or the accidental failure to refer in any notice or other document to a meeting as an "annual general meeting" or "extraordinary general meeting", as the case may be, shall not invalidate the proceedings of that general meeting.

 

15

 

 

19Proceedings at General Meetings

 

19.1No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum is present. A majority in voting power of the Shares entitled to vote at such meeting, present in person or by proxy or if a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorised representative or proxy, shall be a quorum unless the Company has only one Member entitled to vote at such general meeting in which case the quorum shall be that one Member present in person or by proxy or (in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person) by its duly authorised representative or proxy.

 

19.2A person may participate at a general meeting by conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all the persons participating in the meeting can communicate with each other. Participation by a person in a general meeting in this manner is treated as presence in person at that meeting.

 

19.3Any action taken by the Members must be taken or effected at a general meeting and may not be taken or effected by a written resolution or written consent of Members or otherwise in lieu thereof.

 

19.4If a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting to commence or if during such a meeting a quorum ceases to be present, the meeting, if convened upon a Members' Requisition, shall be dissolved and in any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and/or place or to such other day, time and/or place as the Directors may determine, and if at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the Members present shall be a quorum.

 

19.5The Directors may, at any time prior to the time appointed for the meeting to commence, appoint any person to act as chairman of a general meeting of the Company or, if the Directors do not make any such appointment, the chairman, if any, of the board of Directors shall preside as chairman at such general meeting. If there is no such chairman, or if he, she or it shall not be present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for the meeting to commence, or is unwilling to act, the Directors present shall appoint one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

 

19.6If no Director is willing to act as chairman or if no Director is present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the Members present shall choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

 

19.7The chairman may, with the consent of a meeting at which a quorum is present (and shall if so directed by the meeting) adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.

 

19.8When a general meeting is adjourned for thirty (30) days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. Otherwise it shall not be necessary to give any such notice of an adjourned meeting.

 

19.9A resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless before, or on the declaration of the result of, the show of hands, the Directors, by Resolution of Directors, or the chairman demands a poll, or any other Member or Members collectively present in person or by proxy (or in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorised representative or proxy) and holding at least ten (10) per cent. in par value (if all the issued Shares have a par value), or otherwise by number of the Shares giving a right to attend and vote at the meeting demand a poll.

 

16

 

 

19.10Unless a poll is duly demanded and the demand is not withdrawn, a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has been carried or carried unanimously, or by a particular majority, or lost or not carried by a particular majority, and an entry to that effect in the minutes of the proceedings of the meeting, shall be conclusive evidence of that fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against such resolution.

 

19.11The demand for a poll may be withdrawn.

 

19.12Except on a poll demanded on the appointment of a chairman or on a question of adjournment, a poll shall be taken as the chairman directs, and the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the general meeting at which the poll was demanded.

 

19.13A poll demanded on the appointment of a chairman or on a question of adjournment shall be taken forthwith. A poll demanded on any other question shall be taken at such date, time and place as the chairman of the general meeting directs, and any business other than that upon which a poll has been demanded or is contingent thereon may proceed pending the taking of the poll.

 

19.14In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the chairman shall not be entitled to a second or casting vote.

 

20Votes of Members

 

20.1Subject to any rights or restrictions attached to any Shares, on a show of hands every Member who (being an individual) is present in person or by proxy or, if a corporation or other non-natural person is present by its duly authorised representative or by proxy, shall have one vote and on a poll every Member present in any such manner shall have one vote for every Share of which he, she or it is the holder.

 

20.2In the case of joint holders the vote of the senior holder who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy (or, in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorised representative or proxy), shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders, and seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names of the holders stand in the Register of Members.

 

20.3A Member of unsound mind, or in respect of whom an order has been made by any court having jurisdiction in lunacy, may vote, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, by his, her or its committee, receiver, curator bonis, or other person on such Member's behalf appointed by that court, and any such committee, receiver, curator bonis or other person may vote by proxy.

 

20.4No person shall be entitled to vote at any general meeting unless he, she or it is registered as a Member on the record date for such meeting nor unless all calls or other monies then due and payable by him or her in respect of Shares have been paid.

 

20.5No objection shall be raised as to the qualification of any voter except at the general meeting or adjourned general meeting at which the vote objected to is given or tendered and every vote not disallowed at the meeting shall be valid. Any objection made in due time in accordance with this Article shall be referred to the chairman whose decision shall be final and conclusive.

 

17

 

 

20.6On a poll or on a show of hands votes may be cast either personally or by proxy (or in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorised representative or proxy). A Member may appoint more than one proxy or the same proxy under one or more instruments to attend and vote at a meeting. Where a Member appoints more than one proxy the instrument of proxy shall state which proxy is entitled to vote on a show of hands and shall specify the number of Shares in respect of which each proxy is entitled to exercise the related votes.

 

20.7On a poll, a Member holding more than one Share need not cast the votes in respect of his, her or its Shares in the same way on any resolution and therefore may vote a Share or some or all such Shares either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting a Share or some or all of the Shares and, subject to the terms of the instrument appointing him or her, a proxy appointed under one or more instruments may vote a Share or some or all of the Shares in respect of which he, she or it is appointed either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting a Share or some or all of the Shares in respect of which he, she or it is appointed.

 

21Proxies

 

21.1The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing and shall be executed under the hand of the appointor or of his, her or its attorney duly authorised in writing, or, if the appointor is a corporation or other non natural person, under the hand of its duly authorised representative. A proxy need not be a Member.

 

21.2The Directors may, in the notice convening any meeting or adjourned meeting, or in an instrument of proxy sent out by the Company, specify the manner by which the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited and the place and the time (being not later than the time appointed for the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting to which the proxy relates) at which the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited. In the absence of any such direction from the Directors in the notice convening any meeting or adjourned meeting or in an instrument of proxy sent out by the Company, the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited physically at the Registered Office not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the meeting or adjourned meeting to commence at which the person named in the instrument proposes to vote.

 

21.3The chairman may in any event at his, her or its discretion declare that an instrument of proxy shall be deemed to have been duly deposited. An instrument of proxy that is not deposited in the manner permitted, or which has not been declared to have been duly deposited by the chairman, shall be invalid.

 

21.4The instrument appointing a proxy may be in any usual or common form (or such other form as the Directors may approve) and may be expressed to be for a particular meeting or any adjournment thereof or generally until revoked. An instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to include the power to demand or join or concur in demanding a poll.

 

21.5Votes given in accordance with the terms of an instrument of proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the previous death or insanity of the principal or revocation of the proxy or of the authority under which the proxy was executed, or the transfer of the Share in respect of which the proxy is given unless notice in writing of such death, insanity, revocation or transfer was received by the Company at the Registered Office before the commencement of the general meeting, or adjourned meeting at which it is sought to use the proxy.

 

18

 

 

22Corporate Members

 

22.1Any corporation or other non-natural person which is a Member may in accordance with its constitutional documents, or in the absence of such provision by resolution of its directors or other governing body, authorise such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or of any class of Members, and the person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation which he, she or it represents as the corporation could exercise if it were an individual Member.

 

22.2If a Clearing House (or its nominee(s)), being a corporation, is a Member, it may authorise such persons as it sees fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or at any meeting of any class of Members provided that the authorisation shall specify the number and class of Shares in respect of which each such representative is so authorised. Each person so authorised under the provisions of this Article shall be deemed to have been duly authorised without further evidence of the facts and be entitled to exercise the same rights and powers on behalf of the Clearing House (or its nominee(s)) as if such person was the registered holder of such Shares held by the Clearing House (or its nominee(s)).

 

23Shares that May Not be Voted

 

Shares in the Company that are beneficially owned by the Company (including Treasury Shares) shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding Shares at any given time.

 

24Directors

 

24.1There shall be a board of Directors consisting of nine Directors, provided however that the Company may, by a Resolution of Directors, increase or reduce the number of Directors. No increase or reduction in the number of directors constituting the board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

 

24.2The Directors shall be divided into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III. The number of Directors in each class shall be as nearly equal as possible. The Class I Directors shall stand appointed for a term expiring at the Company’s first annual general meeting, the Class II Directors shall stand appointed for a term expiring at the Company’s second annual general meeting and the Class III Directors shall stand appointed for a term expiring at the Company’s third annual general meeting.

 

24.3Commencing at the Company’s first annual general meeting, and at each annual general meeting thereafter, Directors appointed to succeed those Directors whose terms expire shall be appointed in accordance with Article 26 for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual general meeting after their appointment.

 

24.4Except as the Statute may otherwise require, in the interim between annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings called for the appointment of Directors and the filling of any vacancy in that connection, additional Directors and any vacancies in the board of Directors, including unfilled vacancies resulting from the removal of Directors for cause, may be filled by the vote of a majority of the remaining Directors then in office, notwithstanding that such majority may be less than a quorum required for a Resolution of Directors. For the avoidance of doubt, any vacancies in the board of Directors, including unfilled vacancies resulting from the removal of Directors for cause and unfilled vacancies resulting from increases or reductions in the number of Directors, may not be filled by a Resolution of Members.

 

19

 

 

24.5All Directors shall hold office until the expiration of their respective terms of office and until their successors shall have been appointed and qualified. A Director appointed to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a Director shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the Director whose death, resignation or removal shall have created such vacancy and until his, her or its successor shall have been appointed and qualified.

 

24.6No Director shall be permitted to appoint an alternate director pursuant to section 130 of the Statute.

 

25Powers and Duties of Directors

 

25.1Subject to the provisions of the Statute, the Memorandum and the Articles and to any directions given by Resolution of Members, the business of the Company shall be managed by the Directors who may exercise all the powers of the Company. No alteration of the Memorandum or Articles and no such direction shall invalidate any prior act of the Directors which would have been valid if that alteration had not been made or that direction had not been given. A duly convened meeting of Directors at which a quorum is present may exercise all powers exercisable by the Directors.

 

25.2All cheques, promissory notes, drafts, bills of exchange and other negotiable or transferable instruments and all receipts for monies paid to the Company shall be signed, drawn, accepted, endorsed or otherwise executed as the case may be in such manner as the Directors shall determine by resolution.

 

25.3The Directors on behalf of the Company may pay a gratuity or pension or allowance on retirement to any Director who has held any other salaried office or place of profit with the Company or to his, her or its widow or dependants and may make contributions to any fund and pay premiums for the purchase or provision of any such gratuity, pension or allowance.

 

25.4The Directors may exercise all the powers of the Company to borrow money and to mortgage or charge its undertaking, property and assets (present and future) and to issue debentures, debenture stock, mortgages, bonds and other such securities whether outright or as security for any debt, liability or obligation of the Company or of any third party.

 

25.5A Director, in exercising his, her or its powers or performing his, her or its duties, shall act honestly and in good faith and in what the Director believes to be in the best interests of the Company.

 

25.6Section 175 of the Statute shall not apply to the Company.

 

26Appointment and Removal of Directors

 

26.1The Company may by Resolution of Members, and in accordance with Articles 17 and 24, appoint any person properly nominated for election as a Director at any general meeting to appoint Directors of the Company.

 

26.2The Company may, by Resolution of Directors, appoint any person to be a Director either to fill a vacancy or as an additional Director provided that the appointment does not cause the number of Directors to exceed any number fixed by the Articles as the maximum number of Directors.

 

20

 

 

26.3The Company may by Resolution of Directors passed by at least two-thirds of the Directors remove any Director with cause. Members may not act to remove Directors.

(b)the Director dies; or

 

(c)a court of competent jurisdiction has determined in a final non-appealable order that such Director is permanently and totally disabled and unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of a medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death within twelve (12) months, or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months; or

 

(d)the Director becomes disqualified to act as a Director under section 111 of the Statute.

 

28Proceedings of Directors

 

28.1The quorum for the transaction of the business of the Directors may be fixed by the Directors, and unless so fixed shall be a majority of the Directors then in office.

 

28.2Subject to the provisions of the Articles, the Directors may regulate their proceedings as they think fit. Questions arising at any meeting shall be decided by a Resolution of Directors. In the case of an equality of votes, the chairman shall not have a second or casting vote.

 

28.3A person may participate in a meeting of the Directors or a meeting of any committee of Directors by conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all the persons participating in the meeting can communicate with each other at the same time. Participation by a person in a meeting in this manner is treated as presence in person at that meeting. Unless otherwise determined by the Directors the meeting shall be deemed to be held at the place where the chairman is located at the start of the meeting.

 

28.4A Resolution of Directors in writing (in one or more counterparts) signed by all of the Directors or all of the members of a committee of the Directors or, in the case of a resolution in writing relating to the removal of any Director or the vacation of office by any Director, all of the Directors other than the Director who is the subject of such resolution shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of the Directors, or committee of Directors as the case may be, duly convened and held.

 

28.5A Director may, or other officer of the Company on the direction of a Director shall, call a meeting of the Directors by at least two (2) days' notice in writing to every Director which notice shall set forth the general nature of the business to be considered unless notice is waived by all the Directors (or their alternates) either at, before or after the meeting is held.

Exhibit 99.2

 

Swvl Announces Reverse Share Split

 

Dubai, United Arab Emirates – January 25, 2022 – Swvl Holdings Corp (“Swvl” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SWVL), a global provider of transformative tech-enabled mass transit solutions, today announced that on January 4, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved a reverse stock split of its Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), at the ratio of one-for-25 such that every 25 issued Ordinary Shares would be combined into one Ordinary Share, with a par value of $0.0025 each (the “Reverse Share Split”). The Company’s Board of Directors also approved an amendment and restatement to the Company's Memorandum and Articles of Association to reflect the Reverse Share Split. No shareholder approval is required for the Reverse Share Split pursuant to the BVI Business Companies Act (as revised).

 

The Reverse Share Split is expected to be effective on January 25, 2023, following which the trading of the Company’s Ordinary Shares will begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) on a split-adjusted basis at the start of trade on January 26, 2023. All options and warrants of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Share Split will be appropriately adjusted by dividing the number of shares of the Ordinary Shares into which the options and warrants are exercisable or convertible by 25 and multiplying the exercise or conversion price thereof by 25, as a result of the Reverse Share Split.

 

The Company's Ordinary Shares will continue to trade on the Nasdaq under the symbol "SWVL" but will trade under the new CUSIP G86302125. The Company expects that the Reverse Share Split will allow the Company to regain compliance with the Nasdaq $1.00 minimum bid price requirement.
