Scheme voted down because of Headcount Test

 

3.11If the Scheme is not approved by PlayUp Shareholders at the Scheme Meeting by reason only of the non-satisfaction of the Headcount Test and PlayUp or the Parent considers, acting reasonably, that Share Splitting or some abusive or improper conduct may have caused or contributed to the Headcount Test not having been satisfied then PlayUp must:

 

(a)apply for an order of the Court contemplated by section 411(4)(a)(ii)(A) of the Corporations Act to disregard the Headcount Test and seek Court approval of the Scheme under section 411(4)(b) of the Corporations Act, notwithstanding that the Headcount Test has not been satisfied; and

 

(b)make such submissions to the Court and file such evidence as counsel engaged by PlayUp to represent it in Court proceedings related to the Scheme, in consultation with SPAC, considers is reasonably required to seek to persuade the Court to exercise its discretion under section 411(4)(a)(ii)(A) of the Corporations Act by making an order to disregard the Headcount Test.

Conditions not capable of being satisfied

 

3.12If:

 

(a)there is a breach or non-satisfaction of a Condition by the time specified for its satisfaction, that has not (where capable of waiver) been waived in accordance with clauses 3.5 to 3.8;

 

(b)a Condition becomes incapable of satisfaction by the time specified for its satisfaction, and the breach or non-satisfaction of that Condition that has occurred, or would otherwise occur, has not (where capable of waiver) been waived in accordance with clauses 3.5 to 3.8; or

 

(c)the Scheme has not become Effective by the End Date,

 

and neither of the following has occurred:

 

(d)the Independent Expert opines to the effect that the Scheme is not in the best interests of PlayUp Shareholders; or

 

(e)PlayUp has entered into a legally binding agreement (other than a confidentiality agreement) in relation to a Superior Proposal,

 

then SPAC and PlayUp must consult in good faith to determine whether they can reach agreement with respect to:

 

(f)extending the time for satisfaction of the relevant Condition or the End Date (as the case may be), or both;

 

(g)changing the date on which an application is made to the Court for an order under section 411(4)(b) of the Corporations Act approving the Scheme or adjourning that application to a date agreed between the SPAC and PlayUp (as applicable); or

 

(h)the Transaction proceeding by way of alternative means or methods.

 

3.13If SPAC and PlayUp are unable to reach such agreement within ten Business Days after them both becoming aware of the relevant occurrence which triggered the obligation to consult in good faith, then unless the relevant Condition (if applicable) has been waived in accordance with clauses 3.5 to 3.8, either SPAC or PlayUp (in this clause 3.13, the Terminating Party) may terminate this deed by giving written notice (Termination Notice) to the other, provided that if the basis upon which the Terminating Party is seeking to terminate this deed is the occurrence of an event described in clause 3.12(a) or 3.12(b):

 

(a)the Terminating Party had the benefit of the applicable Condition; and

 

(b)the applicable Condition has not been satisfied (or become incapable of being satisfied) as a result of a breach of this deed by the Terminating Party, or a deliberate act or omission of the Terminating Party which either alone or together with other circumstances prevents the Condition from being satisfied.

 

3.14Where a Termination Notice is given under clause 3.13, this deed will terminate with immediate effect and clause 11.3 will apply.

Interpretation

 

3.15For the purposes of this clause 3, a Condition will be incapable of satisfaction, or incapable of being satisfied if there is an act, failure to act or occurrence that will prevent the Condition being satisfied by the End Date (and the breach or non-satisfaction that would otherwise have occurred has not already been waived in accordance with this deed).

(c)each periodic or progressive component of a supply to which section 156-5(1) of the GST Act applies will be treated as if it were a separate supply.

 

15.7Unless this deed expressly states otherwise, all consideration to be provided under this deed is exclusive of GST.

 

15.8If GST is payable, or notionally payable, on a supply in connection with this deed, the party providing the consideration for the supply agrees to pay to the supplier an additional amount equal to the amount of GST payable on that supply (GST Amount).

 

15.9Subject to the prior receipt of a tax invoice, the GST Amount is payable at the same time as the GST-exclusive consideration for the supply, or the first part of the GST-exclusive consideration for the supply (as the case may be), is payable or is to be provided.

 

15.10This clause does not apply to the extent that the consideration for the supply is expressly stated to include GST or the supply is subject to a reverse-charge.

 

15.11If an adjustment event arises for a supply made in connection with this deed, the GST Amount must be recalculated to reflect that adjustment. The supplier or the recipient (as the case may be) agrees to make any payments necessary to reflect the adjustment and the supplier agrees to issue an adjustment note.

15.12Any payment, indemnity, reimbursement or similar obligation that is required to be made in connection with this deed which is calculated by reference to an amount paid by another party must be reduced by the amount of any input tax credits which the other party (or the representative member of any GST group of which the other party is a member) is entitled. If the reduced payment is consideration for a taxable supply, clause 15.10 will apply to the reduced payment.

 

No third party beneficiary

 

15.13This deed shall be binding on and inure solely to the benefit of each party to it and each of their respective permitted successors and assigns, and nothing in this deed is intended to or shall confer on any other person other than the PlayUp Parties, the Parent Parties and the SPAC Parties, in each case to the extent set forth in clause 12, any third party beneficiary rights.

 

Entire agreement

 

15.14This deed and the other Transaction Documents contain the entire agreement between the parties relating to the Transaction and supersedes all previous agreements, whether oral or in writing, between the parties relating to the Transaction, other than, except as expressly provided otherwise in this deed and the Confidentiality Agreement.

 

Execution in counterparts

 

15.15This deed may be executed in any number of counterparts. All counterparts taken together will be deemed to constitute one document. PDF and electronic signatures are taken to be valid and binding to the same extent as physical signatures.

 

15.16A party may sign electronically a soft copy of this deed through an electronic signature or digital platform that indicates on the instrument that a digital signature was applied (including DocuSign and AdobeSign) and bind itself accordingly. This will satisfy any statutory or other requirements for this deed to be in writing and signed by that party. The parties intend that:

 

(a)any soft copy so signed will constitute an executed original counterpart, and any print out of the copy with the relevant signatures appearing will also constitute an executed original counterpart; and

 

(b)each signatory confirms that their signature appearing in this deed, including any such print-out (irrespective of which party printed it), is their personal signature authenticating it.

 

Exercise and waiver of rights

 

15.17The rights of each party under this deed:

 

(a)may be exercised as often as necessary;

 

(b)except as otherwise expressly provided by this deed, are cumulative and not exclusive of rights and remedies provided by Law; and

 

(c)may be waived only in writing and specifically,

 

and delay in exercising or non-exercise of any such right is not a waiver of that right.

 

Further assurance

 

15.18Each party undertakes to sign all documents and to do all other acts as are reasonably requested by any other parry to give full effect to this deed.

No merger

 

15.19Each of the obligations, warranties any undertakings set out in this deed (excluding any obligation which is fully performed at the Implementation Date) must continue in force after the Implementation Date.

 

No reliance

 

15.20Except for the representations and warranties made to each party in clause 8, as applicable, each party acknowledges that in agreeing to enter into this deed it has not relied on any express or implied representation, warranty, collateral contract or other assurance made by or on behalf of the other party before the entering into of this deed. To the maximum extent permitted by Law, each party waives all rights and remedies which, but for this clause 15.22 might otherwise be available to it in respect of any such representation, warranty, collateral contract or other assurance including all rights and remedies under Part 7.10 of the Corporations Act, Part 2 Division 2 of the Australian Securities and Investments Act 2001(Cth), section 18, Schedule 2 (Australian Consumer Law) of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) or any corresponding or equivalent provision of any legislation having effect in any relevant jurisdiction.

 

Specific Performance

 

15.21The parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable harm would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at Law (a) for any material breach of this deed or (b) in the event that any of the material provisions of this document were not performed in accordance with their specific terms. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent material breaches or threatened material breaches of this document and to specifically enforce the material terms and provisions of this document (this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this document or under applicable Law). The parties agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable Law or inequitable for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at Law.

 

Severability

 

15.22The provisions contained in each clause of this deed are enforceable independently of each other clause of this deed and the validity and enforceability of any clause of this deed will not be affected by the invalidity or unenforceability of any other clause.

 

Governing law and jurisdiction

 

15.23This deed is governed by the Laws of New South Wales, Australia. Each party submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of courts exercising jurisdiction in New South Wales, Australia and courts of appeal from them in connection with matters concerning this deed. The parties irrevocably waive any objection to the venue of any legal process in these courts on the basis that the process has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

 

Serving documents

 

15.24Without preventing any other method of service, any document in an action in connection with this deed may be served on a party by being delivered or left at that party’s address for service of notices under clause 14.1 or with its process agent.
