(A)
That Wallbox NV is the parent company of the Group (as that term is defined in Clause1.1 (Definitions)) whose business consists principally of the development and marketing of various types of smart chargers for electric vehicles.
(B)
That, for several months, the Group has been negotiating with its main creditors and shareholders regarding the recapitalisation and comprehensive restructuring of its liabilities (the “Restructuring”), with the primary aim of ensuring its financial viability.
(C)
That, in the context of the Restructuring negotiations:
(a)
On 9 October 2025, the Group’s main creditors (namely Banco Santander, BBVA and CaixaBank), together with Wallbox Chargers, AR Electronics and Wallbox USA, amongst others, entered into a standstill agreement, to which EBN, ICO, ICF, Mora Banc and Cofides acceded on 7 November 2025 (the “Standstill Agreement”);
(b)
on 22 December 2025, Orilla Asset Management, S.L., Inversiones Financieras Perseo, S.L., Am Gestio, S.L., Consilium, S.L. and Mingkiri, S.L. / Anangu, S.L. and Instruments Financiers Per A Empreses Innovadores, S.L.U. (IFEM), signed a non-binding letter of intent in favour of Wallbox NV, in which they expressed their willingness, subject to the signing of a binding investment commitment (the “Binding Investment Commitment”), to inject equity into Wallbox NV for an aggregate amount of EUR 10,000,000; and
(c)
on 1 December 2025, Wallbox NV, Wallbox Chargers, AR Electronics and Electromaps filed with Barcelona Commercial Court No. 9 the notice of commencement of negotiations provided for in Article 585 of the Insolvency Act, with the aim of obtaining the necessary legal protection to facilitate the negotiation and approval of a restructuring plan.
(D)
That, on this date, Wallbox Chargers, AR Electronics and Wallbox USA, together with their principal creditors, have approved a restructuring plan (the “Restructuring Plan”), in accordance with the provisions of Title III of Book Two of the Insolvency Act, the purpose of which is to establish the terms and procedure for the restructuring of the Group’s liabilities, as well as to adopt the necessary measures to ensure its viability, in accordance with the viability plan incorporated into the Restructuring Plan itself (the “Viability Plan”).
(E)
That the Restructuring Plan affects, amongst other instruments, the loan agreements identified in the ANNEX 1 (Loan Agreements) (the “Loan Agreements”), which comprise the following types of financial instruments:
(d)
Debt instruments entered into prior to the Signing Date (the "Loan Agreements (Old Money)").

For the purposes of this Agreement, the term "Loan Agreements (Old Money)" includes any debt instruments entered into in accordance with Clause 6.7 (Exercise of alternatives) of the Restructuring Plan for the purpose of replacing or modifying the nature of the "Affected Debt" of "Class 2" of the Restructuring Plan to convert revolving debt into term debt or a loan and thereby opt for the “Alternative Terms (Loans)” ( and as these terms are defined in the Restructuring Plan), notwithstanding that such instrument is entered into after the Signing Date.

10333991771-v23

-3 -

66-41098248

 


 

(e)
New debt instruments entered into (or amounts originated) on or after the Signing Date for the purposes of:
(i)
granting part of the “Interim Financing” (as this term is defined in the Restructuring Plan) (the “Loan Agreements (New Money)”;
(ii)
"convert into loans" the interest (or applicable financial remuneration) accrued and unpaid as at the Signing Date pursuant to:
(A)
the Loan Agreements (Old Money) and
(B)
the Working Capital Facilities (Old Money) (as defined in the Working Capital Framework Agreement),

in both cases, belonging to Class 2 (and to such Class 1 debt as may voluntarily be included) (the "Loan Agreements (Interest Loan-to-Value)"); and

(iii)
"securitise" part of the amount drawn down under the Working Capital Facilities (Old Money) (as defined in the Working Capital Framework Agreement) that are not guaranteed by the ICO Guarantee (the "Loan Agreements (Working Capital Securitisation)").

Given the nature and type of the Loan Agreements, and in accordance with the operational requirements of each Lending Institution, it is expressly stated that, for the purposes of documenting the transactions described in the preceding paragraph (b) , the Lending Institutions may freely choose between (1) entering into new agreements or (2) increase the principal amounts of their Loan Agreements (Old Money) (including, without limitation, by capitalising the aforementioned interest, increasing the principal, or dividing into tranches, any of their existing instruments), provided that such new instruments or new increased amounts are treated as provided for in this Agreement.

Consequently, the terms “Loan Agreements (New Money)”, “Loan Agreements (Interest Capitalisation)” and “Loan Agreements (Working Capital Capitalisation)” include both new debt instruments and increases in the amount (or new tranches) of existing debt instruments which, in both cases, are subscribed to or originated as a result of the provisions of this Agreement or the Working Capital Framework Agreement, as the case may be.

(F)
That the Restructuring Plan provides, amongst other measures, for the standardisation of certain terms and conditions applicable to the Loan Agreements (depending on their type and Class) by applying the following treatment:
(f)
Loan Agreements (Old Money)
(i)
By default, all Class 1 Loan Agreements (Old Money) are subject to the “Class 1 Standard Terms” identified as such in this Agreement, including, amongst others, the following terms and conditions:

(1)
those set out in paragraphs (A) and (B) above; and
(2)
the capitalisation of interest (or applicable financial remuneration) accrued and unpaid as at this date.
(ii)
By default, all Class 2 (Old Money) Loan Agreements are subject to the “Class 2 Standard Terms” identified as such in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the following terms and conditions:
(A)
the conversion into a loan of interest accrued and unpaid as at the Date of Signing under the Class 2 Loan Agreements (Old Money);

(A)
To classify as “Loans (Tranche A)” the amount of their “ -Affected Debt” arising from Loan Agreements (Old Money) that has not been classified as Loans (Tranche B) (and, consequently, never more than 59% of such “Affected Debt”).

Loans (Tranche A) shall be governed by the terms and conditions set out for this purpose in this Agreement, including, but not limited to:

(1)
the capitalisation of interest accrued and unpaid as at the Signing Date under the Loan Agreements (Old Money);
(2)

(B)
Classify at least 41% of its “Affected Debt” (as defined in the Restructuring Plan) arising from Loan Agreements (Old Money) as “Loans (Tranche B)” (the “Minimum Tranche B Percentage”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Loan Agreements (Old Money) do not include the Loan Agreements (Interest Financing) or the Loan Agreements (Working Capital Financing).

The Loans (Tranche B) shall be governed by the terms and conditions set out for this purpose in this Agreement, including, but not limited to:

(1)
the capitalisation of interest accrued and unpaid as at the Signing Date under the Loan Agreements (Old Money):

It is expressly stated that the novation of the Loan Agreements provided for in this Agreement does not entail the syndication or change in the nature of any Loan Agreement.

Interest

(ii)
For the purposes of Article 317 of the Commercial Code, the parties agree to the monthly capitalisation of ordinary interest that is due, liquidated and unpaid, which shall accrue further interest on a daily basis, at the rate of default interest described in section (i) above.

Given the objective nature of the procedures for determining the ordinary interest rate applicable under this Agreement, unless there is an error in its determination, the interest rate so determined shall be deemed binding on all parties. Borrowers may only reject a standard interest rate notified by the Agent in respect of a given Interest Period if such rejection is based on a manifest error in the Agent’s calculation of the standard interest rate. In such a case, the Agent, having verified the existence of such an error, shall rectify it immediately and restart the procedure for communicating the applicable ordinary interest rate, with a supplementary interest settlement being made in favour of the Borrowers or Lending Institutions as appropriate, on the date of the end of the current Interest Period.

If the provisions of section (G) above apply but it is not possible to calculate the Central Bank Rate, the Reference Rate shall be the rate that each Lending Institution notifies to the Agent as soon as possible, and, in any event, before the interest corresponding to that Interest Period is due, and which represents, as an annual percentage, the cost to that Lending Institution of financing its corresponding Loan(s) (New Money) or Loan(s) (Old Money), as the case may be, from any source it deems reasonable.

-49 -

66-41098248

(1)
the Margin; and
(2)
the rate notified by the relevant Lending Institution to the Agent as soon as possible, and in any event before the interest for that Interest Period is due, and which represents, as an annual percentage, the cost to that Lending Institution of financing the relevant Loan (New Money) or Loan(s) (Old Money), as the case may be, from any source it deems reasonable.

The Interest Period in question relating to the Loan shall have (1) the duration of the Interest Period in progress when the Market Disruption Event occurred or (2) the duration reasonably determined by the Lending Institution in view of the terms on which the necessary liability transactions may be contracted in the market, where applicable, to continue financing the relevant Loan (New Money) or Loan (Old Money), as the case may be (with the duration of the subsequent Interest Period being automatically adjusted if the relevant event has ceased, so that it ends on the date it would otherwise have ended), and the applicable interest rate shall be the actual cost of entering into liability transactions on the interbank

SECTION 4
GUARANTEE ON FIRST DEMAND

11.
ON-DEMAND GUARANTEE
11.1
Guarantee on First Demand
(a)
Each of the Guarantors jointly and severally guarantees to the Lending Institutions (and jointly and severally with the Borrowers), unconditionally and as the principal obligor, the full and timely performance of all payment obligations incurred by each of the Obligors under the Financing Documents. This guarantee is granted independently of the universal and unlimited personal liability which, pursuant to Article 1911 of the Civil Code, rests upon the Obligors by reason of any of the obligations arising from the Financing Documents.
(b)
Each of the Guarantors expressly acknowledges that:
(i)
this guarantee is structured as a first-demand guarantee and not as a suretyship as provided for in Articles 1822 et seq. of the Civil Code, with the result that none of the benefits granted by Spanish law to the guarantor (including, expressly, the benefits of order, excussion and division) shall apply;
(ii)
the obligations assumed by each of the Guarantors under this guarantee are independent and of an abstract nature, such that they shall not be affected and shall remain in full force and effect even in the event that the obligations assumed by any of the Obligors under the Financing Documents are void or become ineffective for any reason, including the commencement of insolvency proceedings in respect of any of the Obligors;
(iii)
the scope of this guarantee shall not be altered in any way by any action that may be taken by any of the Lending Institutions in connection with the approval of the arrangement which, where applicable, may arise as a consequence of the insolvency of any Obligor, the Guarantors’ obligation remaining unchanged in accordance with the agreed terms, as if such action had not taken place; and
(iv)
the Guarantors may not raise against the Lending Institutions any defence that any of the Obligors might assert against the Lending Institutions by virtue of the Financing Documents or any other contractual relationships existing between the Obligors and the Lending Institutions.
11.2
Continuity of the guarantee
(a)
This guarantee is of a continuing nature, shall remain in force until the obligations under the Financing Documents have been fully discharged, and shall cover the final balance corresponding to all amounts due by any Obligor under the Financing Documents, irrespective of any interim payments that may have been made in full or in part.

10333991771-v23

-64 -

66-41098248

 


 

(b)
This first-demand guarantee extends to any extensions, renewals, novations or modifications of any kind, whether express or implied, that may arise in respect of the obligations assumed by the Obligors under the Financing Documents, and therefore this guarantee shall remain in force until the full discharge of such obligations and of any obligations that novate or replace them, without being limited or restricted in any way by any specific modifications or waivers of the performance of obligations that the Lending Institutions may, where applicable, grant in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
11.3
Enforcement of the guarantee
(a)
The relevant Guarantor shall pay the amounts claimed by the Lending Institutions under this guarantee as soon as it receives a written demand to that effect and with the same value date, by crediting the account specified in the said demand. In the event of a delay in the payment of any sum claimed, the Guarantor concerned shall pay default interest at 2% per annum.
(b)
The Lending Institutions may enforce this guarantee until the guaranteed obligations have been fully discharged against any of the Guarantors, independently of one another.
(c)
This guarantee may be enforced, in whole or in part, by any Lending Institution without the prior consent of the Majority of Lending Institutions.
(d)
All payments to be made by any of the Guarantors under this guarantee shall be made free of tax, unless the Guarantor in question is obliged to deduct or withhold amounts on account of tax, in which case such payments shall be increased by an amount equal to that necessary to ensure that, after making the relevant deduction or withholding, the Lending Entities receive a net amount equal to the sum they would have received had it not been mandatory to make the required deduction or withholding.
(e)
For the purposes of the provisions of Article 572 of Law 1/2000 of 7 January on Civil Procedure, the Guarantors and the Borrowers expressly agree that the settlement to determine the debt enforceable through enforcement proceedings under any Loan Agreement shall be carried out in accordance with the above Clause5.11 (Debt Certification), by issuing the appropriate certificate setting out the balance shown in the relevant bilateral account in respect of the Borrower concerned.
(f)
The fact that the Lending Institutions make a claim under this guarantee does not limit their right to make further claims whilst the guarantee remains in force. The Lending Institutions shall retain all their rights and remedies against the Obligors in respect of that part of the guaranteed obligations which has not been satisfied or compensated by the enforcement of this guarantee.
11.4
Appropriation

Until all amounts due or that may become due from the Obligors under or in connection with the Financing Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, each of the Financial Parties (or any trustee, nominee or agent acting on its behalf) may:

10333991771-v23

-65 -

66-41098248

 


 

(a)
refrain from applying or releasing cash, securities or any other rights owned by, or received by, such a Financial Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf), or apply and appropriate the same in such manner and in such order as it deems appropriate (whether in relation to such amounts or in any other context), and no Guarantor may benefit from such circumstances; and
(b)
hold in a blocked account (bearing interest) and for the benefit of all Lending Entities any amounts received from any Guarantor or on account of any liability assumed by any Guarantor under this Clause10 (First Demand Guarantee).
11.5
Deferral of the Guarantors’ rights
(a)
Until all amounts due or potentially due by the Obligors under or in connection with the Financing Documents have been irrevocably paid in full, and unless the Agent indicates otherwise, no Guarantor shall exercise any right to which it may be entitled by reason of its performance of the obligations assumed under the Financing Documents or as a consequence of the obligation to make any payment, or the enforceability of any liability, in accordance with the provisions of this Clause10 (First Demand Guarantee):
(i)
to be indemnified by an Obligor or to be subrogated to the position of the Lending Entities in respect of the amount drawn down;
(ii)
to seek recourse or make a claim against any other Obligor in respect of any obligations of any Obligor under the Financing Documents;
(iii)
to benefit (in whole or in part, whether by subrogation or otherwise) from any rights accruing to the Lending Entities under the Financing Documents or from any other security received pursuant to, or in connection with, the Financing Documents by any of the Lending Entities;
(iv)
to bring legal proceedings or other proceedings to obtain a ruling requiring any other Obligor to make any payment or to fulfil any obligation in respect of which the Guarantor has granted a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under Clause10.1 (First Demand Guarantee);
(v)
to exercise any right of set-off against any other Obligor; and/or
(vi)
to claim or assert its status as a creditor of any other Obligor at the same time as any Lending Entity.
(b)
If a Guarantor receives any payment in respect of the aforementioned rights, it shall retain the corresponding amount to the extent necessary to ensure the full repayment of all sums which are or may become due to the Lending Entities by the Obligors under or in connection with the Financing Documents, and shall immediately pay or transfer such amount to the Agent or to any other person designated by the Agent for application in accordance with the provisions of Clause17 (Payments).

10333991771-v23

66-41098248

 


 

11.6
Loss of Status as a r Guarantor
(a)
If any Guarantor (the “Outgoing Guarantor”) ceases to be a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Financing Documents, on the date on which such Outgoing Guarantor ceases to be a Guarantor:
(i)
such Outgoing Guarantor shall be released by each of the other Guarantors from any liability (whether past, present or future, actual or contingent) in respect of any reimbursement or payment to any other Guarantor arising as a result of any other Guarantor’s performance of its obligations under the Financing Documents; and
(ii)
each of the other Guarantors waives any right it may have by virtue of the performance of its obligations under the Financing Documents to receive the benefit (in whole or in part, whether by subrogation or otherwise) of any rights accruing to the Lending Parties under any Financing Document, or of any other security received pursuant to, or in connection with, the Financing Documents, where such rights or security have been granted in relation to the assets of the Exiting Guarantor.
(b)
The release of the Obligors shall be effected in accordance with Clause12.4 (Release of Obligors and Security Interests).
11.7
Additional Guarantee

This security is cumulative, additional to, and is granted without prejudice to, any other security that has been granted or may be granted in the future in favour of any Lending Entity.

11.8
Subordination
(a)
Each of the Guarantors acknowledges that any claim against any other Obligor that may arise in its favour as a result of the enforcement of this guarantee shall be subordinated to the Lenders’ claims against the Obligors under the Financing Documents.
(b)
Consequently, no Guarantor may assert such rights against another Obligor or receive payment thereon until the Obligors have fully performed their obligations under the Financing Documents.

SECTION 7
ADMINISTRATION

18.
PAYMENTS
18.1
Payments to the Agent
(a)
On each date on which an Obligor is required to make a payment under any Financing Document, such Obligor shall make the relevant amounts available to the Agent (unless otherwise provided in the Financing Documents) with a value date of the day on which the payment is due, at the time and in the manner specified by the Agent as customary at that time for the settlement of transactions in the relevant currency at the place of payment.
(b)
Payments to the Agent shall be made to the account specified by the Agent from time to time.
18.2
Distributions by the Agent and proportionality of payments
(a)
Any payment received by the Agent in accordance with the Financing Documents for distribution to other Parties, and subject to the provisions of Clause17.4 (Distributions to an Obligor) and Clause17.5 (Return of payments), shall be made available by the Agent to the relevant Party as soon as possible and to the account that such Party has notified to the Agent five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which the payment is due.
(b)
All payments of principal and/or interest received by the Lending Institutions, whether through the Agent or by any other means (including the exercise of a right of set-off), must be proportional to their respective share of the outstanding Loans. Any Lending Entity receiving payments in respect of any Loan that do not comply with such proportionality shall immediately make the total payment received available to the Agent for the purposes of appropriate redistribution amongst the Lending Entities in accordance with the provisions of Clause15 (Redistribution of payments).

Without prejudice to the exception set out in the following paragraph, the proportionality regime provided for in this section shall also apply in the event that any of the Lending Institutions has received a sum greater than the other Lending Institutions pursuant to Article 280.7 of the Insolvency Act, unless such institution, prior to filing for insolvency proceedings against the Obligor in question, had offered the other Lending Entities the possibility of filing a joint application for insolvency proceedings through the Agent and such joint application had not been agreed by the Majority of Lending Entities within a maximum period of five (5) Business Days. To this end, the Lending Entities agree that, subject to the agreement of the aforementioned majority of Lending Entities to that effect, the Agent may file for the declaration of insolvency of such Obligor on behalf of and for the account of those Lending Entities that voted in favour of the application for the Obligor’s insolvency.

10333991771-v23

-84 -

66-41098248

 


 

Furthermore, the Lending Institutions expressly agree that the proportionality regime provided for in this Clause17.2 (Distributions by the Agent and proportionality in payments) shall not apply to any amounts of principal and/or interest that may, where applicable, to be received by any Lending Entities which, in the event of an Obligor’s insolvency and pursuant to Article 281.5 of the Insolvency Act, should be considered subordinated creditors because they are determined to be persons specially related to the Obligor declared insolvent.

(c)
The proportional distribution rule described in section (b) above shall not apply:
(i)

DATA PROTECTION
(a)
In order to provide the services and fulfil the obligations set out in this Agreement, it is necessary for the Parties to process personal data relating to their respective representatives or contact persons, as well as that of third parties – for example, employees, collaborators, or other persons performing a function or providing services for any other Party. Such data shall be limited to the minimum necessary for professional contact purposes and shall be processed by and under the responsibility of each Party for the purpose of managing, maintaining, developing and monitoring the contractual relationship between the Parties and for the fulfilment of their respective legal obligations.
(b)
The legal basis for the processing of the data is the legitimate interest of the parties in the maintenance, management and performance of this Contract, as well as the fulfilment of their legal obligations, and no disclosure to third parties is envisaged, unless this is essential for the performance and execution of the services covered by the Contract or is necessary to comply with a legal obligation.
(c)
The data subject to processing will be retained for the duration of this Contract and, where applicable, thereafter to the extent that contact and any commercial relations between the Parties are maintained.
(d)
Where the processing of personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes set out in this Clause26 (Data Protection), the data shall be retained by the Parties in a duly restricted form, which shall mean that neither Party shall carry out any processing other than its retention for the purposes of making it available to the competent public authorities, judges and courts or the Public Prosecutor’s Office; to address any potential liabilities arising from the contractual relationship or those related to data processing. The data shall be retained by the Parties in a blocked state for the periods provided for in the applicable legal provisions or, where applicable, for the limitation periods of actions arising from the contractual relationship between the Parties, with the data being physically deleted or completely anonymised once such periods have elapsed.
(e)
Data subjects whose personal data are provided by the Parties in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraphs may, at any time, exercise their rights of access, rectification, objection, erasure, portability, restriction of processing, and any
