Share Repurchase Arrangement
In recognition of the EQT Investor supporting the Company’s initial and potential future acquisitions of portfolio companies, the Company has adopted this Share Repurchase Arrangement.
Timing and Amount of Repurchase Offers
After [_______], 2025, subject to the limitations below, as of the last calendar day of each month, the Company will offer to repurchase from the EQT Investor Eligible Shares having an aggregate NAV equal to (1) the Monthly Repurchase Amount for that month plus (2) any Monthly Repurchase Amounts from prior months that have not yet been repurchased. The EQT Investor will notify the Company if and to what extent it elects to have the Company repurchase the Eligible Shares offered for repurchase in a manner agreed upon by the Company and the EQT Investor. The Company will make these repurchase offers until all Eligible Shares have been repurchased from the EQT Investor. For the avoidance of doubt, Eligible Shares are not subject to the 5% quarterly repurchase limitation of the Existing Share Repurchase Plan.
Price of Repurchase Offers
The repurchase price per Share for each repurchase from the EQT Investor will be the Transaction Price for Eligible Shares in effect at the time of repurchase. For the avoidance of doubt, the EQT Investor shall have no obligation to sell its Shares pursuant to a repurchase offer during any calendar month.
Limitations
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no repurchase offer will be made to the EQT Investor during any month in which (1) the 5% quarterly repurchase limitation of the Existing Share Repurchase Plan has been decreased or (2) the full amount of all Shares (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Eligible Shares) requested to be repurchased under the Existing Share Repurchase Plan is not repurchased. Additionally, if repurchase requests, in the Company’s judgment, place an undue burden on the Company’s liquidity, adversely affect the Company’s operations or risk having an adverse impact on the Company as a whole, the Company may elect not to offer to repurchase shares from the EQT Investor, or may offer to repurchase less than the Monthly Repurchase Amount. Further, the Board may modify, suspend or terminate this share repurchase arrangement if it deems such action to be in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. Material modifications to and suspensions of this share repurchase arrangement will be promptly disclosed to Shareholders in a supplement to the Company’s private placement memorandum or in a current or periodic report filed by the Company. In addition, the Company may in its sole discretion determine to suspend repurchases under this share repurchase arrangement if it is prohibited from repurchasing Shares by a legal, contractual or regulatory restriction applicable to it or its affiliates.
The EQT Investor will not request that Eligible Shares be repurchased under the Existing Share Repurchase Plan.
