The Placing Agent confirms and undertakes to the Vendor (i) not to, directly or indirectly, offer, sell or deliver any Placing Shares or distribute or publish any documents (including, without limitation to the foregoing, any prospectus, form of application, offering circular, advertisement or other offering material or any report or other document calculated to invite or lead to offers or agreements being made to purchase Placing Shares) or make any representations or statements in relation to the Placing in any country or jurisdiction except such offer, sale or delivery is made under circumstances that, shall not result in or constitute a breach of any applicable laws and regulations or give rise to a requirement for any prospectus to be published or filed or any registration or qualification to be made or obtained (other than such as are made or obtained by the Placing Agent) in any country or jurisdiction and all offers, sales and deliveries of Placing Shares shall be made on such terms; (ii) that it has not offered or sold and shall not offer or sell in Hong Kong, by means of any document, any Placing Shares other than to persons whose ordinary business is to buy or sell shares or debentures, whether as principal or as agent, or otherwise in circumstances which do not constitute an offer to the public, and it has not issued or caused to be issued and shall not issue or cause to be issued any documents in relation to the Placing in Hong Kong (unless permitted to do so under the securities laws of Hong Kong) other than with respect to Placing Shares intended to be disposed of to persons outside Hong Kong or to be disposed of in Hong Kong or only to persons whose business involves the acquisition, disposal, or holding, of securities whether as principal or as agent; and (iii) that it has not made and shall not make to any person to whom Placing Shares may be offered any representation or statement regarding MSIL, the Registrant and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) or the financial or business position or prospects of MSIL or the Group which was not or is not, at the time of making the same, general public knowledge in the marketplace.
In return, the Vendor warrants and represents to and for the benefit of the Placing Agent: (i) that the Placing Shares are fully paid up and the Vendor is the beneficial owner of the Placing Shares and the Vendor has the necessary power and authority to enable it to sell the Placing Shares hereunder free from any lien, charge, encumbrance or third party right whatsoever and together with all rights attaching thereto at the closing date and MSIL has not exercised any lien over any of the Placing Shares; (ii) that MSIL is duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the place of its incorporation with power to conduct its business in the manner presently conducted and the information provided is true and accurate; (iv) all necessary consents and authorisations have been obtained to enable the Vendor to sell the Placing Shares, the Vendor has power under its constitutional documents to enter into this Placing Agreement and this Placing Agreement is duly authorised and when duly executed shall constitute valid and legally binding and enforceable obligations of the Vendor; and (v) that, save as previously disclosed by MSIL to the public in writing during the preceding 12 months or otherwise than in the ordinary course of business, no member of MSIL and its subsidiaries has entered into a material contract or commitment of an unusual or onerous nature which, in the context of the Placing, might be material for disclosure and each such company has carried on its business in the ordinary and usual course.
