(“Preferential Dividend”). The Preferential Dividend is cumulative and shall accrue from year to year
whether or not paid, and accrued dividends shall be paid in full (together with dividends accrued from

Shares, whichever happens earlier;

END OF DOCUMENT
Page 32 of 31
Before offering subscription shares, the company must secure all necessary corporate, third-party, and regulatory consents, and governmental approvals . It should provide a valuation certificate from a registered valuer and update its Board and shareholder meeting minutes to reflect actions in compliance with the Companies Act . Additionally, assurances must be provided ensuring that no Material Adverse Effect has occurred, all representations and warranties are accurate, and there are no pending legal actions that could affect the subscription .
Conditions Precedent are specific requirements that must be fulfilled before an agreement becomes effective. In a corporate setting, they typically include offering subscription shares as per law, securing necessary consents and approvals, and obtaining a valuation certificate . These conditions ensure that all legal and regulatory frameworks are met and that stakeholders have approved the terms, thereby safeguarding the interests involved and influencing the agreement's validity and enforceability .
'Action' is defined as any legal or administrative proceeding, claim, or investigation that could be instated against a company, including insolvency proceedings . The implications for corporate liabilities include potential financial penalties, litigation costs, and risks to company operations and reputation, emphasizing the need for comprehensive legal and risk management strategies within corporate entities.
If a shareholder fails to fulfill their voting rights obligations, it could lead to breaches of contract, affecting corporate governance and decision-making processes. It might result in legal disputes, impact the enforcement of rights, and undermine the agreement's intentions, causing potential financial and strategic setbacks for the company and affecting trust and relationship among shareholders .
'Control' is defined as the direct or indirect ownership of more than 50% of the voting shares or securities of a person or the power to control the board composition or the management policies of the person by contract or otherwise . This definition implies significant decision-making power over the entity's strategic and operational activities, impacting managerial decisions and influence within the company.
CCPS are preference shares that must be converted into equity shares, often used in corporate structuring to manage early-stage investment risks while providing a pathway to equity ownership. They allow investors to benefit from preferential dividends until conversion, which can influence investor relations by aligning the investor's longer-term equity interests with the company's performance . This facilitates strategic flexibility and attracts investment by balancing current return with future ownership.
If the Charter Documents conflict with another agreement, such as a shareholder agreement, the latter will prevail according to the relationship between the Shareholders. The parties are obligated to amend the Charter Documents to align with the agreement's provisions, provided it complies with Applicable Law .
Non-compliance with applicable laws could lead to regulatory sanctions, invalidation of parts of the agreement, and significant financial penalties. It might result in legal disputes, hindering business operations and investor confidence. Compliance ensures legal protection, operational continuity, and enforcement of shareholder rights, thus failure to align with legal requirements could severely impact the company's strategic objectives and reputation .
In venture capital, 'Affiliate' refers to any entity directly or indirectly under common control with the investment entity, including investment funds, schemes, or vehicles managed by the investor . This definition is significant because it identifies related parties that could influence decision-making, investment strategies, and risk exposures, ensuring clear delineation of influence and control within venture capital structures.
'Share Capital' refers to both equity and preference share capital within a company, covering a broader scope including both equity and potentially convertible securities . In contrast, 'Equity Capital' specifically pertains to the value of equity shares issued by a company, often representing ownership stakes and excluding preferential commitments. This distinction impacts financial structuring, dividend rights, and investor prioritization in company financing.
