  (a) Conditions are satisfied as soon as practicable after the date of this document; and

 

  (b) Condition Subsequent is satisfied as soon as practicable after the Effective Date.

 

3.4 Benefit and waiver of certain conditions

 

  (a) Each of the conditions in clauses 3.1(a), 3.1(b) and 3.1(f) is for the benefit of Alchemia, and any breach or non-fulfilment of those conditions can only be waived with the written consent of Alchemia.

  action against the other party for any breach of this document, including a breach that resulted in the non-fulfilment of the Condition Precedent that was waived.

 

  (e) Unless specified in the waiver, a waiver of the breach or non-fulfilment of any Condition Precedent will not constitute:

 

  (i) a waiver of breach or non-fulfilment of any other Condition Precedent resulting from events or circumstances giving rise to the breach or non-fulfilment of the first Condition Precedent; or

 

  (ii) a waiver of breach or non-fulfilment of that Condition Precedent resulting from any other event or circumstance.

3.6 Notification of certain events

  (i) (keep informed) promptly and reasonably inform the other either directly or through its legal advisers of the steps it has taken and of its progress towards satisfaction of the Conditions and the Condition Subsequent;

Schedule 1

 

  a. Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for a fully paid share of common stock of Audeo Oncology, Inc. (the “Company”) (a “Share”) upon exercise of the warrant and payment of the Exercise Price (defined below).

 

  b. Each warrant is exercisable for shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to 130% of the volume weighted average price of the Shares over the 60 trading days immediately following the listing of the Company on a recognised securities exchange (the “Exercise Price”), payable in full on exercise of the warrant.

 

  c. The warrants vest and are exercisable from the date that is six months after the date of the initial public offering of the Company (the “IPO Date”) until the date that is the later to occur of the following (the “Expiry Date”):

 

  (i) three years from IPO Date; and

 

  (ii) the earlier of:

 

  (A) six months from the date that the Company announces to the market the results for the primary end point of the Phase III clinical trial period for HA-Irinotecan in colorectal cancer; and

 

  (B) five years from the IPO Date.

Any warrant not exercised prior to the Expiry Date, automatically expires on the Expiry Date.

 

  d. The Company must give the holder of each warrant a certificate or holding statement including these warrant terms and stating:

 

  (i) the number of warrants issued to each holder;

 

  (ii) the Exercise Price of the warrants; and

 

  (iii) the date of issue of the warrants.

 

  e. Warrants may only be exercised by the delivery to the registered office of the Company or its share registry of a certificate in the form attached as annexure A to these warrant terms and a notice (the “Exercise Notice”) in writing stating the intention of the holder to:

 

  (i) exercise all or a specified number of warrants; and

 

  (ii) either pay the Exercise Price in cash for the exercise of each such warrant or elect a cashless exercise for the exercise of each such warrant.

 

  f. The Exercise Notice must be accompanied by the certificate or holding statement for the warrants being exercised, if not a cashless exercise, and a cheque made payable to the Company for the Exercise Price for the warrants being exercised.

 

  g. In lieu of paying the Exercise Price in cash for the exercise of each warrant, if the fair market value of one share of common stock is greater than the Exercise Price, the holder may elect a cashless exercise of the warrant.

 

  h. The warrants will be deemed to have been exercised on the date the Exercise Notice is received by the Company or the share registry.

 

  i.

The Company will allot the Shares to which a holder is entitled following exercise

 

 

7673384/1    page 57


  of warrants and deliver a holding statement with respect to such Shares within the timeframe required by the listing rules of the exchange on which the Company is listed.

 

  j. The exercise of only some portion of a warrant will not affect the rights of the holder to the balance of the warrants held by them.

 

  k. If the holder of the warrants exercises less than the total number of warrants registered in the holder’s name:

 

  (i) the holder of the warrants must surrender its warrant certificate, if one has been issued by the Company; and

 

  (ii) the Company must cancel the warrant and issue the holder of the warrants a new warrant or holding statement stating the remaining number of warrants held by the holder and stating the information set out in item (d) above.

 

  l. Warrants will not confer an entitlement to receive dividends declared and paid by the Company, nor an entitlement to vote at general meetings of the Company unless the holder of the warrants has exercised its warrants before the record date for determining these entitlements and participates as a result of holding Shares.

 

  m. Each Share issued on exercise of an warrant will:

 

  (i) rank equally in all respects (including, without limitation, rights relating to dividends) with other issued Shares;

 

  (ii) be issued credited as fully paid;

 

  (iii) be duly authorised and issued by all necessary corporate action; and

 

  (iv) be allotted and issued free from all liens, charges and encumbrances whether known about or not including statutory and other pre-emption rights and any transfer restrictions.

 

  n. The Company will apply to the exchange on which the Company is listed for official quotation of the Shares issued upon exercise of warrants within the time period required by the listing rules of the exchange on which the Company is listed.

 

  o. The warrants are not transferable without the prior written consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld only where all warrants held by the holder are transferred to a related body corporate of the holder (or, in the case of a custodian of a fund, a custodian of a fund with the same manager), that:

 

  (i) the Company is satisfied (acting reasonably) is a permitted transferee under applicable securities law without additional disclosure or other regulatory requirements on either the transferor or the Company;

 

  (ii) has provided any written certification or other evidence of their sophisticated/professional/exempt investor status, reasonably requested by the Company; and

 

  (iii) has agreed in writing to be bound by these warrant terms (including, if required by the Company, delivering a certificate in the form attached as annexure A to these warrant terms on exercise of the warrants).

 

  p.

A holder of warrants does not have the right to participate in bonus issues or

 

 

7673384/1    page 58


  new issues of securities offered to shareholders until Shares are allotted to the holder pursuant to the exercise of the relevant warrants.

 

  q. After the listing of the Company on a securities exchange, and in the event of a reorganisation (including, without limitation, consolidation, sub-division, reduction or return) of the capital of the Company, the rights of the holders of warrants (including, without limitation, the number of warrants to which the warrant holder is entitled and the exercise price) will be changed (as appropriate) in accordance with the listing rules of the exchange on which the Company is listed applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the reorganisation.

 

  r. If after the listing of the Company on a securities exchange, the Company makes a pro rata issue (other than a bonus issue) to existing shareholders and no Shares have been issued in respect of the warrants before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue, the Exercise Price of each warrant will be reduced in the manner permitted by the listing rules of the exchange on which the Company is listed.

 

  s. If after the listing of the Company on a securities exchange, the Company makes a bonus issue to existing shareholders and no Share has been issued in respect of a warrant before the record date for determining entitlements to the issue, then the number of Shares over which that warrant is exercisable will be increased in the manner permitted by the listing rules of the exchange on which the Company is listed.

 

  t. The Company is entitled to treat the registered holder of a warrant as the absolute holder of that warrant and is not bound to recognise any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, that warrant on the part of any person other than the registered holder, except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by statute.

 

  u. If the Company is obliged to make a payment in respect of withholding tax in relation to the warrants, the Company must:

 

  (i) promptly pay any amount deducted to the appropriate governmental taxation authority;

 

  (ii) if requested by the warrant holder, within 30 days after that request, give to that warrant holder a copy of the relevant documentation evidencing the payment; and

 

  (iii) issue the warrant holder the net number of warrants after making the payment.

(i) it agrees that if it decides to sell or otherwise transfer (to the extent possible) any Shares, it will only do so only if the offer and sale (to the extent possible) of such Shares is (i) registered under the 1933 Act (which the holder acknowledges the Company has no obligation to do); (ii) made pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act, or (iii) made in standard (regular way) brokered transactions on the exchange on which the Shares are listed, provided that such exchange is a “designated offshore securities market” as defined in Regulation S under the 1933 Act (“Regulation S”) (“Exchange”) in offshore transactions that qualifies for the exemption available under Regulation S where neither it nor any person acting on its behalf knows, or has reason to know, that the sale has been pre-arranged with, or that the purchaser is, a person in the United States;
