IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
1. | Definitions and Interpretation |
In this Agreement, save where explicitly provided otherwise, capitalised words and expressions have the meanings specified or referred to in Paragraph 1 of Schedule 1 (Definitions and interpretation). The provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with Paragraph 2 of Schedule 1 (Definitions and interpretation), unless specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement.
2. | Sale and Purchase of the Shares |
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Seller hereby sells the Shares to the Purchaser and the Purchaser hereby purchases the Shares from the Seller.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Seller shall transfer the Shares to the Purchaser, who shall accept such Shares, free from any and all Encumbrances, on the date on which the consummation of the Transaction in accordance with Clause 6 (“Completion") takes place (the “Completion Date"), by the execution of a customary notarial deed of transfer to be prepared by the Notary and negotiated between the Parties in good faith as soon as reasonably possible following the date of this Agreement (the "Deed of Transfer").
Subject to Completion taking place, the sale and transfer of the Shares will have economic effect from 0.00 hours a.m. CET on the Completion Date (the "Effective Time") and, consequently, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the benefit and risk of the Shares, together with the benefit and risk of the Group and the Business, will be for the account of the Purchaser as of the Effective Time.
2.4. | Purchaser's nomination right |
The Purchaser shall be entitled to nominate at its own cost, by notice to the Seller delivered no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Completion Date, an Affiliate of the Purchaser (the "Purchaser's Nominee"), to which all of the Shares will be transferred at Completion (instead of to the Purchaser itself), provided that such nomination shall not derogate from the Purchaser's obligations towards the Seller under this Agreement. In the event the Purchaser invokes its rights under this Clause 2.4 the relevant Clauses and provisions relating to the transfer of the Shares shall be deemed to read as such that the Purchaser's Nominee will be acquiring and accepting transfer of the Shares.
