The Shares shall be transferred to the Purchaser with all rights and entitlements thereto as from the Completion Date.

PURCHASE PRICE. LOCKED BOX

The aggregate purchase price for all of the Shares (the “Purchase Price”) shall be equal to:

Euro 403,261,052.00 (four hundred three million two hundred sixty-one thousand fifty-two/00) (the “Base Cash Consideration”); plus

an interest accruing on the Base Cash Consideration from January 1, 2024 until the Completion Date (both included), equal to 5% per year, pro rata temporis (the “Interest Component” and, together with the Base Cash Consideration, the “Cash Consideration”); minus

an amount equal to the sum of all the Leakage(s) (if any), including all the Additional Leakage(s) (if any), increased by the Leakage Interest (as defined under Section 3.10 below), all if and to the extent determined pursuant to Section 3.12 and following below; plus

the Stock Consideration, if and to the extent due pursuant to Schedule 3.1(d).

An amount equal to the Cash Consideration minus the Escrow Amount shall be paid to the Seller entirely on Completion Date, in immediately available funds with value as of Completion Date, by irrevocable and unconditional wire transfer to the bank account indicated by the Seller at least 3 (three) Business Days prior to the Completion Date. The Seller shall communicate to the Purchaser, at least 5 (five) Business Days prior to Completion Date, the final amount of the Cash Consideration, including the Interest Component, and the Leakage Amount. It is understood that the payment on the bank account above mentioned shall be considered as satisfactory payment to the Seller.

The Escrow Amount shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Escrow Agent entirely on Completion Date, in immediately available funds with value as of Completion Date, by irrevocable and unconditional wire transfer to the Escrow Agent’s bank account opened in the name of the Purchaser but also in the interest of the Seller, as security for the indemnification obligations set out in Schedule 9.1, it being understood that the Escrow Agent will hold and safeguard said Escrow Amount pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement and will maintain segregated the amounts corresponding to the matters set out in Schedule 9.1.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) if, from the Signing Date until the issuance to the Seller of the Initial Stock Consideration, the outstanding shares of Purchaser Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares, readjustment, or other similar transaction, or a stock dividend or stock distribution thereon shall be declared with a record date within said period, the Initial Stock Consideration shall be equitably adjusted by the Purchaser to provide the Seller the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event, and (b) if, from the Signing Date until the issuance to the Seller of the Final Stock Consideration, the outstanding shares of Purchaser Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares, readjustment, or other similar transaction, or a stock dividend or stock distribution thereon shall be declared with a record date within said period, the Final Stock Consideration shall be equitably adjusted by the Purchaser to provide the Seller the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event. In the event that a cash dividend or other distribution in cash on the Purchaser Common Stock shall have been declared or paid, the Purchaser shall make a cash payment to the Seller for an amount equal to the amount that the Seller would have received if the Initial Stock Consideration and/or the Final Stock Consideration was issued and delivered to the Seller when such cash dividend or other distribution in cash was paid, without taking account of any Tax deductions that would have applied if the Seller would had actually received such cash dividend. Any payment to the Seller made pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be treated, to the maximum possible extent under applicable Laws, as an adjustment of the Purchase Price.

Any certificates or book-entry entitlements representing the shares of Purchaser Common Stock to be issued as Stock Consideration shall bear the following legend (along with any other legends that may be required under applicable Laws):

The Seller hereby agrees that as regards shares comprising the Initial Stock Consideration, from the date hereof until 5.00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time six-months after the Completion Date, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser it will not offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of the Initial Stock Consideration or the economic consequences of ownership thereof, or otherwise publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing, in each case whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Purchaser Common Stock, equity securities, in cash or otherwise.

Any transfer of the shares of the Purchaser Common Stock issued as Stock Consideration shall be void unless the provisions of this Agreement are satisfied. The Purchaser may issue appropriate “stop-transfer” instructions to its transfer agent. If any securities are sold or otherwise transferred in violation of the provisions of this Agreement, the Purchaser will not be required (i) to transfer on the books maintained by its transfer agent such transferred securities or (ii) to treat the Seller or any transferee of such securities as owner of such securities, or to accord the Seller or any transferee of the securities the right to vote or receive dividends.

Any transfer of shares of the Purchaser Common Stock issued as Stock Consideration shall (i) comply with all applicable securities Laws (and the Purchaser may require that the holder of Stock Consideration provide a reasonably satisfactory opinion of counsel to this effect) and (ii) comply with any covenants or restrictions on transfer of the Stock Consideration that may be undertaken by the holder thereof from time to time.

The Purchase Price is fixed and, accordingly, shall not be subject to any adjustment or revision, without prejudice to Sections 3.10 and 9.2.

Subject to Completion taking place, but without prejudice to what set forth under Sections 3.12 and 3.13 below, in the event of occurrence of a Leakage (including the Additional Leakage), the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser, without duplication, as a Euro by Euro reduction of the Cash Consideration, an amount equal to the Leakage occurred plus interest on the amount of such Leakage from January 1, 2024 (or the later date on which such Leakage occurred) until Completion Date (both included), in each case at a rate equal to 5% per year, pro rata temporis (the “Leakage Interest”). For the sake of clarity, a claim under this Section 3.10 shall be the sole remedy available to the Purchaser in connection with the occurrence of a Leakage.

The Cash Consideration payable to the Seller in accordance with this Agreement shall be reduced by any Leakage, on a Euro by Euro basis, received or benefited and/or to be received and/or to be benefited by (or otherwise benefitting) the Seller and/or any of its Affiliates and/or Related Parties, except to the extent any of these items are Permitted Leakages.

At least 5 (five) Business Days prior to the Completion Date is envisaged to take place, the Seller shall notify the Purchaser in writing (the “Leakage Notice”) of any Leakage occurred (if any) until the 6^th (sixth) Business Day prior to the Completion Date, specifying the type of Leakage incurred, the relevant amounts and the relevant Leakage Interest, except to the extent any of these items are Permitted Leakages (the “Leakage Amount”). The Purchaser shall not be entitled to object to, or anyway challenge, the contents of the Leakage Notice (including the Leakage Amount indicated therein) prior to Completion. The Leakage Notice shall be binding for the purposes of Completion and shall only be subject to challenge in accordance with Section 3.13.

within the above-mentioned period, the Purchaser shall be entitled to communicate in writing to the Seller the occurrence of any Additional Leakage during the Locked Box Period, providing reasonable and specific written details and supporting evidence thereof (the “Additional Leakages Claim”);

within 15 (fifteen) Business Days from the receipt of the Additional Leakages Claim, the Seller shall: (i) pay to the Purchaser the amount indicated in the Additional Leakages Claim; or (ii) in case of disagreement with the Additional Leakages Claim, deliver to the Purchaser a notice of disagreement, setting forth the relevant reasons of its dissent in respect of the Additional Leakages Claim in reasonable detail (the “Disagreement Notice”);

if a Disagreement Notice is sent, then, thereafter, for a period of 20 (twenty) Business Days, the Purchaser and the Seller shall discuss the matters referred to in the Disagreement Notice in good faith;

the Independent Expert shall be instructed to act on the following basis:

it shall act as expert (arbitratore), pursuant to Article 1349, first paragraph, of the Italian Civil Code, on the basis of its fair evaluation (equo apprezzamento) and not on the basis of its mere discretion (mero arbitrio) – it being understood that the equitable evaluation (equo apprezzamento) shall be exclusively applied if this Agreement does not provide any rule or criteria or guidance for the resolution of the item(s) in dispute and that the assessment of the Expert will be limited to the issues remaining in dispute which have not been agreed by the Parties under Section 3.13(d);

the item(s) in dispute shall be notified to the Independent Expert in writing by the Purchaser and the Seller within 10 (ten) Business Days as of the Independent Expert’s appointment, provided the Purchaser cannot allege the occurrence of any Leakage other than those set forth under the Additional Leakages Claim;

it shall decide the procedure to be followed in the determination, except that each of the Purchaser and the Seller shall have the right to submit to the Independent Expert any comment, information and/or documentation it deems appropriate and to reply to any comment, information and/or documentation submitted by the other;

each of the Purchaser and the Seller shall provide, and shall procure that their respective accountants and advisors provide, the Independent Expert promptly with all information and assistance it may reasonably require and the Independent Expert shall be entitled to base its opinion on such information and on the accounting and other records of any Group Company;

the Independent Expert shall render its determination within 30 (thirty) Business Days following the acceptance of its mandate and such determination shall contain the assessment of the item(s) in dispute, provided that, if the Purchaser and the Seller agree upon a range of values in advance and the determination of the Independent Expert does not fall within such range of values, the Parties will consider as the Independent Expert’s determination the high range (if the Independent Expert’s determination falls above the high range) or the low range (if the Independent Expert’s determination falls below the low range). The reasoning of the Independent Expert shall specifically address the arguments brought forward by the Purchaser and the Seller with respect to each item in dispute;

the determination of the Independent Expert shall, in the absence of clear error or collusion (valutazione manifestamente erronea o iniqua) pursuant to Article 1349 of the Italian Civil Code, be final and binding among the Parties; and

all fees and expenses of the Independent Expert shall be equally borne by the Purchaser and the Seller, unless the Independent Expert’s decision confirms in full the position maintained by the Purchaser or the Seller (as the case may be), in which case the Independent Expert fees and disbursements shall be fully borne by the Party whose position was not upheld by the Independent Expert (as the case may be).

In the event that any Additional Leakage agreed or determined under this Section 3.13 is to be paid to the Purchaser, it shall be paid by the Seller to the Purchaser within 15 (fifteen) Business Days from the (i) date of the agreement between them under section 3.13(c) if any, or (ii) Independent Expert’s determination, grossed-up of an amount equal to the Leakage Interest applicable until the date of payment of the Additional Leakage.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that any payment made in connection with any Leakage Amount and Additional Leakage: (i) shall be net of any Tax benefit for any Group Companies arising from such Leakages but grossed-up of all relevant Taxes due by the Purchaser and/or any Group Company in connection with such payment; and (ii) is not subject to any of the provisions and limitations contained in Section 9.

The Parties hereby agree that after Completion, the Purchaser shall cause any Group Company, the relevant management and employees to provide the cooperation that Seller and its Representatives and/or the Independent Expert may in good faith and reasonably deem necessary for the purposes of this Section 3.13, subject to the entering into of customary confidentiality agreement if requested by the Purchaser as well as, in any case, in compliance with the Laws (including but not limited to the antitrust Laws).

The indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 4.4(d) are the sole remedy available in relation to any breach by the Seller of any covenant and obligation upon the Seller under Section 4.4(a), without prejudice to Section 4.4(e); therefore, without prejudice to Section 4.4(e): (i) it shall be excluded any other right, action, remedy, defense, exception, claim or means of protection however available (also pursuant to any applicable Law) on any party in relation thereto; and (ii) the Purchaser shall not have the right to rescind or terminate this Agreement (including under Article 1467 of the Italian Civil Code) or – following the fulfillment of the Conditions Precedent (or the waiver in writing by the Parties pursuant to this Agreement) – refuse to effect Completion or perform its obligations set forth under this Agreement, prior to, on or after the Completion Date, in the event of a breach of any covenant and obligation upon the Seller under Section 4.4(a).

In this event: (i) except for this Section 4.4(e), Sections 14, 15, 16 and 17, as well as the provisions of this Agreement that, in accordance with their terms or their nature, shall survive to the termination of this Agreement or the ceasing of its effects, which will remain in full force and binding between the Parties, all the provisions of this Agreement shall lapse and cease to have effect; but (ii) neither the lapsing of those provisions nor their ceasing to have effect shall affect any remedy or right of the Purchaser in accordance with any applicable Law and/or this Agreement (including, without limitation, its ability to claim damages) in respect of non-performance of the obligations included under Sections 14.5 and 14.6 below falling due for performance prior to such lapse and cessation.

INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURE

The Party seeking indemnification under, as the case may be, Section 8 or Section 9, shall be known as the “Indemnified Party”, and the Party from whom indemnification is sought shall be known as the “Indemnifying Party”.

No later than 60 (sixty) Business Days after the Indemnified Party first becomes aware of any Loss in respect of which an Indemnifying Party may be liable under this Section 10, the Indemnified Party shall give notice thereof (the “Notice of Claim”), to the Indemnifying Party. Without prejudice to the time limitations indicated in Section 9.6(a) above, any failure by the Indemnified Party to give the Notice of Claim shall not limit the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnities nor limit the Indemnifying Party’s liability for any Claim, provided that the failure of the Indemnified Party to send a Notice of Claim within the abovementioned 60 Business Days term has not caused forfeitures (decadenze) upon the Indemnifying Party with reference to the relevant Claim indicated in the Notice of Claim. In any case, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any increase of the Losses suffered by the Indemnified Party as a consequence of the failure of the Indemnified Party to send the Notice of Claim within the above 60-day term. The Notice of Claim shall set forth the details of the legal and factual basis of the Claim for such Loss and the amount that may be due under this Section 10.

The Parties shall attempt to mutually and amicably resolve the dispute within 20 (twenty) Business Days of receipt by the Indemnifying Party of a Notice of Claim.

In the event that the Indemnifying Party agrees in writing upon the validity and amount of a Claim, such amount shall become payable and the Indemnifying Party shall pay it to the Indemnified Party according to Section 10.7 below.

In the event, instead, that the Parties do not reach a mutual amicable solution during the 20 (twenty) Business Days period under Section 10.3, the Claim shall be deemed not accepted by the Indemnifying Party and the dispute shall be resolved by arbitration pursuant to Section 17 upon initiative of either Party.

With respect to any claim which arises as a result of a claim by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim and shall, at all times and to the maximum extent possible (except to the extent that the disclosure of any information may prejudice a Party’s legal or professional privilege), keep the Indemnifying Party timely informed of the status of such Third Party Claim and the proceedings related thereto, it being understood that (i) the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate and, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, join, at its own costs, by counsel of its choice, the defence of any such Third Party Claim, and (ii) the Indemnified Party shall properly and diligently defend against any Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall, to a reasonable extent, (i) consult the Indemnifying Party with respect to the handling of such Third Party Claim, and (ii) consider the observations of the Indemnifying Party, it being understood that, in any case, any observation reasonably provided by the Indemnifying Party and its advisors shall be evaluated in good faith by the Indemnified Party also in order to minimize the Losses of the Indemnifying Party. Any settlement relating to a Third Party Claim shall be made by the Indemnified Party with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, who shall act in good faith taking into account also the interests of the Group Companies and shall not unreasonably withheld or delay such consent. It is understood that if a firm monetary settlement offer relating to a Third Party Claim is made, the Indemnified Party shall promptly inform the Indemnifying Party of such firm offer and, in the event that the Indemnifying Party is willing to accept the firm offer but the Indemnified Party is not, then the Indemnifying Party’s liability in respect of the relevant matters will be limited to the amount of the proposed settlement.

The Indemnified Party will be entitled to enforce a Claim against the Indemnifying Party (and the Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party the relevant amount within 10 (ten) Business Days) as soon as it becomes a Determined Claim for the relevant amount and, even though the Claim is not a Determined Claim, in the event the Indemnified Party (and, in case the Indemnified Party is the Purchaser, also any of the Group Companies) is requested by an immediately enforceable order, ruling, judgment, even provisional and subject to appeal of any competent Authority, including the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) and any Court or Tribunal, to pay any amount to third parties.

WAGERING AGREEMENT (CONTRATTO ALEATORIO)

The Parties agree that this Agreement will be deemed to be a wagering agreement (contratto aleatorio) under and for the purposes of article 1469 of the Italian Civil Code. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the remedies under articles 1448, 1467 and 1468 of the Italian Civil Code will not apply to this Agreement and to the transactions contemplated hereunder.

For the sake of clarity, any appreciation or depreciation of the value of the Shares and/or of the assets or liabilities of any Group Company, either as a direct or indirect consequence of circumstances that could be attributed to the Seller and/or any Group Company (such as, by way of example, the variation of their economic and financial condition) or to external factors (including, without limitation, the variation of the relevant debt market and/or any repercussions of any pandemic and/or health emergency – including any direct or indirect impact deriving from any governmental and/or legislative measure aimed at facing such pandemic and/or health emergency) shall be considered an “ordinary risk” (alea normale).

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 15 shall be without prejudice to the Parties’ indemnification rights under Sections 8 and 9 and other remedies under this Agreement.
