REGULATORY INFORMATION
Approval by the Founders and InVivo Group, acting in concert, to amend the 29 July 2022 shareholders’ agreement
On 27 November 2024, TERACT’s Board of Directors was informed that Imanes1, Palizer2, NJJ Capital3, Combat Holding4 (the “Founders”) and InVivo Group5 had signed a term sheet under which they committed to amending their 29 July 2022 shareholders’ agreement6.
The main amendments set out in this term sheet relate to the following points:7
• The Founders will be eligible, in the event that TERACT’s shares are delisted, to a purchase option by InVivo Group for all of their TERACT shares exercisable from 30 September 2027 and up to, but not including, 1 October 2028.
• If said purchase option has not been exercised by the end of the above-mentioned period, InVivo Group will be eligible to a purchase option for all TERACT shares owned by the Founders, exercisable from 2 October 2028 and up to, but not including, 1 October 2029.
• If one of these options is exercised, the TERACT shares will be transferred at their market value determined by a panel of independent experts.
In the event that a compulsory buyout offer, followed by a mandatory delisting, takes place before these purchase options are exercised, the panel of independent experts must use the same multicriteria method as that used for the purpose of the offer to determine the market value of the shares with purchase options.
