This SPONSOR LETTER AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of March 14, 2021, is made by and among Therapeutics Acquisition Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), the other holders of RACA Class B Common Stock set forth on Schedule I hereto (the “Other Class B Holders”, and together with the Sponsor, collectively, the “Class B Holders”), Therapeutics Acquisition Corp. (d/b/a Research Alliance Corp.), a Delaware corporation (“RACA”), and Point Biopharma Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). The Sponsor, the Other Class B Holders, RACA and the Company shall be referred to herein from time to time collectively as the “Parties”. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Business Combination Agreement (as defined below).

 

WHEREAS, RACA, the Company and certain other Persons party thereto entered into that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as it may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Business Combination Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Business Combination Agreement contemplates that the Parties will enter into this Agreement concurrently with the entry into the Business Combination Agreement by the parties thereto, pursuant to which, among other things, (a) the Class B Holders will vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and (b) the Class B Holders will agree to waive any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in the Governing Documents of RACA or any other anti-dilution or similar protection with respect to all of the RACA Class B Shares related to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, each intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

1.                   Agreement to Vote. Each Class B Holder hereby agrees to vote at any meeting of the shareholders of RACA, and in any action by written resolution of the shareholders of RACA, all of such Class B Holder’s RACA Class B Shares (together with any other Equity Securities of RACA that such Class B Holder holds of record or beneficially, as of the date of this Agreement, or acquires record or beneficial ownership after the date hereof, collectively, the “Subject RACA Equity Securities”) in favor of the Transaction Proposals.

 

2.                   Waiver of Anti-dilution Protection. Each Class B Holder hereby (a) waives, subject to, and conditioned upon, the occurrence of the Closing (for himself, herself or itself and for his, her or its, successors, heirs and assigns), to the fullest extent permitted by law and the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of RACA, and (b) agrees not to assert or perfect, any rights to adjustment or other anti-dilution protections with respect to the rate that the RACA Class B Shares held by him, her or it convert into RACA Class A Shares in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

 

 

 

3.                   Transfer of Shares.

 

a.                   Each Class B Holder hereby agrees that he, she or it shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) sell, assign, transfer (including by operation of law), place a lien on, pledge, dispose of or otherwise encumber any of his, her or its Subject RACA Equity Securities or otherwise agree to do any of the foregoing (each, a “Transfer”), (ii) deposit any of his, her or its Subject RACA Equity Securities into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect to any of his, her or its Subject RACA Equity Securities that conflicts with any of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, (iii) enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking with respect to the direct or indirect acquisition or sale, assignment, transfer (including by operation of law) or other disposition of any of his, her or its Subject RACA Equity Securities, (iv) engage in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to, or which would (either alone or in connection with one or more events, developments or events (including the satisfaction or waiver of any conditions precedent)), lead to or result in a sale or disposition of his, her or its Subject RACA Equity Securities even if such Subject RACA Equity Securities would be disposed of by a person other than such Class B Holder or (v) take any action that would have the effect of preventing or materially delaying the performance of his, her or its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Transfer (A) to RACA’s officers or directors, any affiliates or family member of any of RACA’s officers or directors, any members or partners of the Sponsor or their affiliates, any affiliates of the Sponsor, or any employees of such affiliates; (B) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of one of the individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization; (C) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (D) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (E) by private sales or transfers made in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; and (F) by virtue of the Sponsor’s organizational documents upon liquidation or dissolution of the Sponsor; provided, that any transferee of any Transfer of the type set forth in clauses (A) through (F) must enter into a written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company agreeing to be bound by this Agreement prior to the occurrence of such Transfer.

 

b.                   In furtherance of the foregoing, RACA hereby agrees to (i) place a revocable stop order on all Subject RACA Equity Securities subject to Section 3(a), including those which may be covered by a registration statement, and (ii) notify RACA’s transfer agent in writing of such stop order and the restrictions on such Subject RACA Equity Securities under Section 3(a) and direct RACA’s transfer agent not to process any attempts by the Class B Holder to Transfer any Subject RACA Equity Securities except in compliance with Section 3(a); for the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of RACA under this Section 3(b) shall be deemed to be satisfied by the existence of any similar stop order and restrictions currently existing on the Subject RACA Equity Securities.

 

4.                   Other Covenants. Each Class B Holder hereby agrees to be bound by and subject to (i) Sections 5.3(a) (Confidentiality) and 5.4(a) (Public Announcements) of the Business Combination Agreement to the same extent as such provisions apply to the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, as if such Class B Holder is directly a party thereto, and (ii) Section 5.7(b) (Exclusive Dealing) of the Business Combination Agreement to the same extent as such provisions apply to RACA as if such Class B Holder is directly party thereto.

 

5.                   Termination of RACA Class B Shares Lock-up Period. Each Class B Holder and RACA hereby agree that effective as of the consummation of the Closing (and not before), Section 7 of that certain Letter Agreement, dated July 7, 2020, by and among RACA, the Class B Holders and certain other parties thereto (the “Class B Holder Agreement”), shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

“7. Reserved.”

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) each Class B Holder makes no agreement or understanding herein in any capacity other than in such Class B Holder’s capacity as a record holder and beneficial owner of the Subject RACA Equity Securities, and not, in the case of each Other Class B Holder in such Other Class B Holder’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of any RACA Party, and (b) nothing herein will be construed to limit or affect any action or inaction by each Other Class B Holder or any representative of the Sponsor serving as a member of the board of directors (or other similar governing body) of any RACA Party or as an officer, employee or fiduciary of any RACA Party, in each case, acting in such person’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or fiduciary of such RACA Party.
