Each Investor's Investment Commitment shall be funded through the subscription and payment of newly issued Class A Shares of the Parent (the "New Shares") issued in one or more capital increases with exclusion of the pre-emptive subscription rights (uitsluiting van voorkeursrechten) of the shareholders of the Parent pursuant to Sections 2:96 and 2:96a of

DOCPROPERTY "Document number" \* MERGEFORMAT 3219901272

2


 

the Dutch Civil Code, and one or more private placements among the Investors (PIPE) (collectively, the "Capital Increase"). In the case of the Shareholders, the funding of the Investment Commitments shall be carried out as set forth in Clause 2.2 below.

The subscription price (including both par value and share premium) of each New Share shall be the greater of (i) the price expressed in euros resulting from applying a 20% discount to the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the Class A Shares of the Parent during the fifteen (15) trading days prior to the date on which the price of the New Shares is set at the time of the execution of the Capital Increase, and (ii) €2.40 (the par value of the Class A Shares as of the date of this Letter) (the "Subscription Price").

The number of New Shares to be subscribed by each Investor shall be the result of dividing such Investor's Investment Commitment (increased, as applicable, by the OID (as such term is defined in the Bridge Financing agreement), any PIK Interest and any other interest accrued under the Bridge Financing) by the Subscription Price, subject to such rounding adjustments as may be necessary, such that any fractional New Share resulting therefrom shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of New Shares.

The actual amount of the Investment Commitments shall be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of Clause 2.2 below.

2.2
Repayment of the Bridge Financing

To the extent that, on the settlement date of the Capital Increase, there are outstanding payment obligations of the Parent under the Bridge Financing (including, without limitation, the face value principal, OID, PIK Interest and any other interest) (the "Amounts to be Set Off"), each Shareholder's obligation to fund its Investment Commitment and subscribe for New Shares shall be satisfied by setting off such obligation against such Shareholder's corresponding Amounts to be Set Off; all of the foregoing pursuant to the terms of the subscription agreement to be executed in connection with the Capital Increase and without requiring any additional contribution, whether in cash or in kind, by the Shareholders.

Accordingly, the amounts of the Shareholders' Investment Commitments set forth in the table in Clause 2.1 above shall be adjusted solely to reflect: (i) the increase in the amount of principal granted under the Bridge Financing owed by the Parent to the Shareholders on account of OID up to an aggregate amount of €6,647,058.82; (ii) PIK Interest (as such term is defined in the Bridge Financing agreement) accrued and capitalized up to the settlement date of the Capital Increase; and (iii) any other amounts outstanding under the Bridge Financing on the settlement date of the Capital Increase.

The Parties undertake to take all actions necessary or advisable to enable the New Shares to be subscribed by set-off against the Parent's repayment obligations under the Bridge Financing.

2.3
Restructuring Support Fee

In consideration for the Capital Increase subscription commitments in the context of the Restructuring set forth in this Letter, the Parent acknowledges in favor of the Investors a fee (the "Restructuring Support Fee") which shall be remunerated through the issuance, on the settlement date of the Capital Increase, of warrants entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for newly issued Class A Shares of the Parent (the "Warrants").

The Warrants shall have the following characteristics:

(i)
they shall confer the right to subscribe for Class A Shares of the Parent;

3


 

(ii)
the exercise price shall be the Subscription Price;
(iii)
the term of the Warrants shall be five years from their date of issuance; and
(iv)
the subscription right may be exercised at any time during the term referred to in sub-clause (iii).

The Restructuring Support Fee corresponding to each Investor shall consist of an amount equivalent to the aggregate value of the premium (calculated on the basis of a market-standard valuation model for such purposes) of a number of Warrants equal to half the number of New Shares allocated to such Investor in the Capital Increase (in the event that the number of New Shares allocated to an Investor is an odd number, the number of Warrants shall be rounded down). The actual amount of the Restructuring Support Fee shall be calculated at the time of execution of the subscription agreements to be entered into in connection with the Capital Increase and shall be reflected therein.

The amount of the Restructuring Support Fee shall be discharged upon delivery of the corresponding number of Warrants. The issuance and subscription of the Warrants shall occur simultaneously with the issuance of the New Shares.

The Parties undertake to execute any documents necessary for the issuance of the Warrants prior to or simultaneously with the Capital Increase in accordance with the terms set forth in this Letter.

3
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CAPITAL INCREASE

Subject to the satisfaction of the Condition Precedent (as defined below), the Parent shall determine, in its sole discretion (but at all times in accordance with the Restructuring Plan and the documents executed thereunder), the most appropriate time to implement the Capital Increase and all other terms of the Capital Increase not regulated in this Letter (including, without limitation, the subscription and payment periods and the settlement date).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Capital Increase shall occur no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Capital Increase Long Stop Date. If, following the Capital Increase Long Stop Date, the settlement of the Capital Increase has not occurred for reasons not attributable to the Investors, the funding obligations of the Investors under the Investment Commitments shall be deemed extinguished.

4
REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS

In the event that the issuance and subscription of the New Shares and the Warrants are not subject to prior registration requirements under U.S. securities laws:

(v)
The Parent agrees that, within thirty (30) days following the date on which the Investors subscribe for the New Shares, the Parent shall file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ( SEC) (at the sole cost and expense of the Parent) a registration statement to register the resale of the New Shares and, if necessary, the Warrants (including any shares of the Parent issued upon exercise of the Warrants).
(vi)
The Parent undertakes to use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective no later than ninety (90) days following the date on which the Investors subscribe for the New Shares, subject to applicable SEC review timelines and, following effectiveness, to customary blackout periods.

In addition, the Parent agrees that the registration statement referred to in sub-clause (i) above shall also include the registration for resale of any shares of the Parent held by the Shareholders that, as of the date of filing of such registration statement, remain subject to a restrictive legend in the records of the Parent's transfer agent and have not been released or transferred to a securities account of the relevant Shareholder.

5
CONDITION PRECEDENT TO THE INVESTMENT COMMITMENTS

The Parties agree that the funding obligations under the Investment Commitments of each Investor assumed pursuant to Clause 2 are subject to the condition precedent that the Restructuring Plan Effective Date shall have occurred in accordance with the terms of the Restructuring Plan (the "Condition Precedent").

For such purposes, the Global Agent shall deliver to the Investors, at the e-mail addresses set forth in the signature pages of this Letter, a written notice in accordance with the Restructuring Plan indicating that all conditions precedent to the Restructuring Plan have been duly satisfied or validly waived.

If the Restructuring Plan Effective Date does not occur in accordance with the terms and timeframes set forth in the Restructuring Plan, the funding obligations of each Investor under the Investment Commitments shall not become effective.

6

The Shareholders and Anangu irrevocably undertake that, during the period from the date of this Letter until the earlier of: (i) the date on which the 2026 annual general meeting of shareholders of the Parent is held; and (ii) July 31, 2026, neither they nor any person acting on their behalf shall, without the prior written consent of the Company and the Parent, directly or indirectly:

offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell or grant any option, right, warrant or contract to purchase, exercise any option to sell, acquire any option or contract to sell, or lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of any shares of the Parent held, directly or indirectly, by them (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the New Shares and any other shares of the Company held by them on the date of this Letter or acquired thereafter up to the date of the 2026 annual general meeting of shareholders of the Parent) or other securities substantially similar to such shares, or any securities convertible into, exercisable for or exchangeable for ordinary shares of the Parent or other shares of the Parent or other securities substantially similar to the shares of the Parent, or file (or request that the Parent file) any registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (without prejudice to the obligations set forth in Clause 4), prospectus or similar document with any other securities regulator, stock exchange or listing authority in connection with any of the foregoing;
(viii)
enter into any swap or any other contract or transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequences of ownership of any shares of the Parent held, directly or indirectly, by them;
(ix)
enter into any other transaction having the same economic effects as those described in sub-clauses (i) and (ii) above, or agree to do so or announce or otherwise publicly disclose an intention to do any of the foregoing;

DOCPROPERTY "Document number" \* MERGEFORMAT 3219901272

5


 

(x)
regardless of whether any such swap or transaction described in sub-clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above is to be settled by delivery of ordinary shares or of securities convertible into, exercisable for or exchangeable for ordinary shares, in cash or otherwise; or
(xi)
publicly announce an intention to carry out any of the actions set forth in sub-clauses (i) through (iv).

The obligations set forth in this Clause shall not apply to transfers of Class A Shares by the Shareholders or Anangu to their respective subsidiaries, provided that such subsidiaries accede to this Letter, irrevocably assuming all of the commitments of the relevant Shareholder or Anangu, as applicable.

7
