Item 1. Security and Issuer

This Amendment No. 7 supplements and amends the Schedule 13D relating to shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of NGM Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 12, 2019 as it has been amended by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4, Amendment No. 5 and Amendment No. 6 that were filed with the SEC on May 17, 2019, October 18, 2019, April 2, 2020, February 3, 2022, June 10, 2022 and December 29, 2023, respectively (collectively, the “Amended Statement”). Only those items that are reported are hereby amended; all other items reported in the Amended Statement remain unchanged. Capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Amended Statement. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items as applicable.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The information set forth in Item 4 hereof is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3, as applicable.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Amended Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

Agreement and Plan of Merger

On February 25, 2024, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Atlas Neon Parent, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Atlas Neon Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of the Reporting Persons.

The Merger Agreement provides for, among other things, (i) the acquisition of the Issuer by Parent through a cash tender offer (the “Offer”) by Merger Sub for the Issuer’s outstanding shares of Common Stock for $1.55 per share (the “Offer Price”) and (ii) the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”) with the Issuer surviving the Merger. Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Offer Price will be paid subject to any applicable tax withholding and without interest.

Upon the unanimous recommendation of a Special Committee (the “Special Committee”) of the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), the members of the Board (other than Messrs. Goeddel and Perlmutter, who recused themselves because of their relationship to the Reporting Persons, and Mr. Rieflin, who recused himself because he is party to the Stockholder Rollover Agreement (as defined below)) have unanimously determined that the terms of the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are fair to and in the best interests of the Issuer and its stockholders other than the Reporting Persons, Parent, Merger Sub, the Rollover Stockholders (as defined below), the members of the Board and the officers of the Issuer subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act (the “Unaffiliated Stockholders”), authorized and approved the execution, delivery and performance by the Issuer of the Merger Agreement and, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the consummation by the Issuer of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, declared the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement advisable and recommended that the Unaffiliated Stockholders accept the Offer and tender their shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Offer. Under the Merger Agreement, Parent is required to commence the Offer no later than 10 business days after the date of the Merger Agreement. The Offer will expire at one minute after 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on the 20th business day of the Offer, unless extended in accordance with the terms of the Offer and the Merger Agreement and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, as of the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders, (i) each outstanding share of Common Stock of the Issuer (other than any shares of Common Stock (a) held in the treasury of the Issuer, (b) owned, directly or indirectly, by the Reporting Persons, Parent, Merger Sub, any other subsidiary of Parent, or the Rollover

 

  

 

 

CUSIP No. 62921N 105 SCHEDULE 13D Page 25 of 28

 

 

Stockholders at the commencement of the Offer and immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than those otherwise tendered in the Offer by such stockholders), (c) irrevocably accepted for purchase in the Offer or (d) owned by any stockholders who are entitled to and who properly exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price without interest, less any applicable tax withholding; (ii) the vesting of each option to purchase shares of Common Stock from the Issuer (“Company Stock Options”) shall be accelerated and (A) each Company Stock Option that has an exercise price per share that is less than the Offer Price (each, an “In-the-Money Option”) that is then outstanding will be cancelled and, in exchange therefor, the holder of such cancelled In-the-Money Option will be entitled to receive an amount in cash, without any interest thereon and subject to applicable tax withholding, equal to the product of (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock underlying such In-the-Money Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (y) the excess of the Offer Price over the applicable exercise price per share of Common Stock underlying such In-the-Money Option, and (B) each Company Stock Option that is not an In-the-Money Option will be cancelled for no consideration; and (iii) each unvested restricted stock unit (“RSU”) of the Issuer that is then outstanding shall become immediately vested in full and cancelled, and, in exchange therefor, the holder of such cancelled RSU will be entitled to receive an amount in cash without interest, less any applicable tax withholding, equal to the Offer Price.

Merger Sub’s obligation to accept shares of Common Stock tendered in the Offer is subject to conditions, including: (i) that the number of shares of Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, equals at least a majority of all shares of Common Stock then owned by the Unaffiliated Stockholders as of the expiration of the Offer; (ii) the accuracy of the Issuer’s representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement (subject to certain exceptions and qualifications described in the Merger Agreement and except, generally, for any inaccuracies that have not had a Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement)), (iii) the Issuer’s performance in all material respects of its obligations under the Merger Agreement and (iv) the other conditions set forth in Exhibit A to the Merger Agreement. The obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Offer and the Merger under the Merger Agreement are not subject to a financing condition.

Following the completion of the Offer, subject to the absence of injunctions or other legal restraints preventing or prohibiting the consummation of the Merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, pursuant to the procedure provided for under Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, without any additional stockholder approvals. The Merger will be effected as soon as practicable following the time at which Merger Sub purchases the shares of Common Stock validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Offer.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties by Parent, Merger Sub and the Issuer. The Merger Agreement also contains customary covenants and agreements, including with respect to the operations of the business of the Issuer between signing and closing.

The Merger Agreement contains customary non-solicitation restrictions prohibiting the Issuer’s solicitation of alternative business combination transactions and restricts the Issuer’s ability to furnish non-public information to, or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, any third party with respect to any such alternative business combination transaction, subject to customary exceptions in the event of an acquisition proposal that was not solicited in violation of these restrictions and that the Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee determines constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Company Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

EXHIBIT 3

ROLLOVER AGREEMENT

This ROLLOVER AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of February 25, 2024, by and among (i) Atlas Neon Parent, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), (ii) Atlas Neon Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and (iii) the Persons listed on the signature pages hereto under the heading “Sponsors” (“Sponsors” and “Holders”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

BACKGROUND

1.                  Parent and Merger Sub are parties to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of the date hereof (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof and in compliance with this Agreement, the “Merger Agreement”), with NGM Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Parent has agreed to cause Merger Sub to commence a cash tender offer (as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the “Offer”) to purchase all the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Company Common Stock”), of the Company for a price per share of $1.55, subject to applicable tax withholding and without interest (the “Offer Price”). On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, following the closing of the Offer, Parent will cause Merger Sub to merge with and into the Company (“Merger”), with the Company surviving as a subsidiary of Parent.

2.                  Each Holder desires, in lieu of receiving the Offer Price and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, immediately prior to the Merger Closing, to contribute that number of Company Common Stock held by it that is set forth on such Holder’s signature page hereto (such Holder’s “Rollover Shares”) and in exchange for each such Rollover Share to receive 100 newly issued common shares of Parent, par value US$0.001 (“Parent Shares”).

3.                  This Agreement governs the relationship of the parties hereto pending the Merger Closing (including in respect of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions) and with respect to Parent and the Parent Shares following the Merger Closing.

ARTICLE I

ROLLOVER

Section 1.1            Contribution and Subscription. Effective immediately prior to the Merger Closing and subject to and conditioned upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 1.3, (x) each Holder agrees to and hereby does contribute, assign, transfer and deliver to Parent, and Parent agrees to and hereby does acquire, assume and accept from each Holder, all of such Holder’s right, title and interest in, to and under the number of Rollover Shares as set forth on such Holder’s signature page hereto and (y) in consideration for such contribution and concurrently therewith, Parent shall and does issue to such Holder (or, if agreed in writing by such Holder and Parent, an Affiliate of such Holder), and such Holder shall, automatically and with no further action thereby, subscribe for, acquire and accept, that number of Parent Shares equal to 100 times the

   

 

number of Holder’s Rollover Shares so contributed hereunder (such contribution and subscription, the “Rollover Closing”). Each Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) delivery of the Parent Shares pursuant to and in accordance with the foregoing sentence shall constitute complete satisfaction of all obligations towards or sums due to such Holder by Parent and Merger Sub in respect of the Rollover Shares held by such Holder and cancelled at the Merger Closing as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (ii) such Holder shall have no right to the Offer Price pursuant to the Offer, the Merger or otherwise in respect of the Rollover Shares of such Holder.

Section 1.2            Adjustments. Parent may determine in its sole discretion to reduce, in whole or in part, the amount of Rollover Shares of any Holder upon written notice given to such Holder at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Rollover Closing. Upon delivery of such notice, the number of Rollover Shares opposite such Holder’s name shall be reduced as provided in such notice (and for the avoidance of doubt the Company Common Stock so reduced shall thereupon cease to be Rollover Shares hereunder and shall instead have the right to the Offer Price in connection with the Offer and Merger).

Section 1.3            Conditions.

(a)               Conditions to the Obligation of each Holder. The obligation of each Holder under this Agreement to consummate the transactions of such Holder contemplated hereby is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions prior to or concurrently with the Rollover Closing: (i) the representations and warranties made in this Agreement by Parent shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Rollover Closing; (ii) each of the covenants and obligations that Parent is required to comply with or to perform pursuant to this Agreement shall have been complied with and performed in all material respects; (iii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent, Merger Sub and the Sponsors; and (iv) effective immediately following the Rollover Closing, the Merger Closing shall occur pursuant to and in accordance with the Merger Agreement as in effect on the date hereof.

(b)               Conditions to the Obligation of Parent and Merger Sub. The obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the transactions of Parent and Merger Sub contemplated hereby is subject to, in each case with respect to the applicable Holder, the satisfaction of the following conditions prior to or concurrently with the Rollover Closing: (i) the representations and warranties made in this Agreement by the applicable Holder shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Rollover Closing; (ii) each of the covenants and obligations that the applicable Holder is required to comply with or to perform pursuant to this Agreement shall have been complied with and performed in all material respects; (iii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the accredited investor certificate in the form attached as Exhibit B in each case by the applicable Holder; and (iv) effective immediately following the Rollover Closing, the Merger Closing shall occur pursuant to and in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

(i)                 offer for sale, sell (constructively or otherwise), transfer, assign, tender in any tender or exchange offer (including the Offer), gift, hedge, pledge, charge, mortgage, grant, encumber, hypothecate or otherwise assign or dispose of (by merger, testamentary disposition, operation of Law or otherwise) (collectively, “Transfer”), or enter into any Contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the Transfer of any of its Rollover Shares or any interest therein, including, without limitation, any swap transaction, option, warrant, forward purchase or sale transaction, futures, derivative or any other similar transaction (including any option with respect to any such transaction) or combination of any such transactions, in each case involving any of its Rollover Shares which (x) has, or could reasonably be expected to have, the effect of reducing or limiting such person’s economic interest in such Rollover Shares and/or (y) with respect to its Rollover Shares, grants a third party the right to vote or direct the voting, tender, sale or Transfer of such Rollover Shares;

(ii)              deposit any of its Rollover Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto that is inconsistent with this Agreement;

(iii)            convert or exchange, or take any action which would result in the conversion or exchange of, any of its Rollover Shares; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to the conversion, exercise or settlement of any incentive units of the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof; or

(iv)             agree to take any of the actions referred to in this Section 2.1.

(b)               If any involuntary Transfer of any Holder’s Rollover Shares shall occur, the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall take and hold such Rollover Shares subject to all of the restrictions, obligations, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

(c)               Any action taken in violation of this Section 2.1 shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be null and void ab initio.

Section 2.2            Agreement Not to Tender. Holder hereby agrees that, from the date hereof until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, such Holder shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, tender or agree or commit to tender any of

 3 

 

its Rollover Shares pursuant to the Offer, including in any “subsequent offering period” in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). To the extent any Holder directly or indirectly tenders or purports to tender any of its Rollover Shares in the Offer in violation or contravention of this Agreement, such Holder acknowledges and agrees that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, such tender and any right to receive the Offer Price thereunder shall in each case be null and void in all respects and such Rollover Shares shall remain subject to the terms of this Agreement; provided, if at any time the Rollover Shares are required under applicable Law to be treated pursuant to and in accordance with the Offer and the Merger Agreement and/or to receive the Offer Price, then the contribution of such Rollover Shares to Parent and the issuance of Parent Shares to such Holder in consideration therefor in each case as contemplated by this Agreement shall be null and void in all respects and such Holder shall have no claim or right to any Parent Shares pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise in respect of any such Rollover Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, each Holder acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to any share of Company Common Stock, in no circumstances shall such Holder have the right to receive both the Offer Price and any Parent Shares. This Article II shall terminate in the event that the offered price in the Offer exceeds the Offer Price.

Section 6.3            Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or

Amendments: The Shareholder Agreement may be amended or waived by Holders holding a majority of the then-outstanding Shares, provided, subject to customary exceptions, no amendment or waiver will apply to any Holders disproportionately adversely effected thereby, relative to the Holders approving such amendment or waiver, without the prior written consent of the Holders holdings of a majority of the Shares held by such disproportionately adversely effected Holders.
   
Expenses: Parent will be responsible for the payment or reimbursement of fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Sponsors in connection with the Transactions.

This Agreement shall be binding on each party hereto solely for the benefit of each other party hereto and nothing set forth in this Agreement, express or implied, shall be construed to confer, directly or indirectly, upon or give to any Person other than the parties hereto any benefits, rights or remedies under or by reason of, or any rights to enforce or cause the parties hereto to enforce, any provisions of this Agreement, except the Non-Recourse Parties shall have the right to enforce their rights pursuant to and in accordance with Section 6.5.

Section 6.12        Confidentiality. Except as permitted under this paragraph, each Additional Holder (the “Recipient”) shall not, and shall direct its Affiliates and Representatives to not, disclose any Confidential Information obtained in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of Parent; provided that the Recipient may disclose any Confidential Information (i) to any of its Affiliates and Representatives who need to know such Confidential Information in connection with advising such Holder with respect to this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and, in each case, (prior to such disclosure) have agreed, or are bound by obligations at least as stringent as the obligations herein, to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information as set out herein or (ii) to the extent required by applicable Law, provided Recipient shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, inform Parent of such required disclosure, request confidential treatment of any such disclosure and reasonably cooperate with Parent at Parent’s expense to minimize any such disclosure. “Confidential Information” refers to all information obtained in confidence by one Holder from any other Holder, Parent, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions (including the identity of the Holders and the beneficial owners thereof), unless such information (a) is already or becomes known to the receiving Holder prior to the disclosure thereof, (b) is provided to the receiving Holder by a third party which is not known by such receiving Holder to be bound by a duty of confidentiality with respect to such information, (c) is or becomes publicly available other than through a breach of this Agreement by such receiving Holder, or (d) is developed independently by or for the receiving Holder without using any Confidential Information.

Section 6.13        Public Disclosures. Except with the prior written consent of Parent or solely to the extent required by applicable Law, no Additional Holder shall issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement with respect to this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby without the prior written consent of each of the other Holders. In the event that an Holder becomes obligated to issue a press release or otherwise make a public statement as described in the preceding sentence, it shall, to the extent permitted by law, (x) notify as promptly as possible Parent and the Sponsors of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such obligation; (y) consult with Parent and the Sponsors on the content of such press release or other public statement; and (z) include the name of any other Holders in such press release or other public statement only to the extent legally compelled to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Holder may make any beneficial ownership filings or other filings with the SEC, or amendments thereto, in respect of the Company and its securities, that such Holder reasonably believes is required under applicable law without the prior written consent of Parent, provided that each such Holder shall coordinate with the other Holders in good faith

regarding the content and timing of such filings or amendments in connection with this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

Section 6.14        Power of Attorney. Each Additional Holder, by its execution of this Agreement, hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints Parent (and such other Persons as may from time to time be designated by Parent) with full power of substitution and resubstitution, such Additional Holder’s true and lawful proxy, agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in such Additional Holder’s name, place and stead, to execute, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file and record all instruments and other documents and do such other acts which Parent reasonably deems appropriate or necessary to effect or evidence contribution and deposit of the Rollover Shares in accordance with Article I, its covenants in accordance with Article III, and the other actions and obligations required of such Additional Holder pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, and such power of attorney may be exercised at any time and from time to time from the date hereof until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with Section 6.17. The foregoing power of attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and shall survive such Additional Holder’s death, disability, incapacity, dissolution, bankruptcy, insolvency or termination and the transfer of all or any portion of its Company Common Stock and shall extend to such Additional Holder’s heirs, successors, assigns and personal representatives, and any person dealing with Parent may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any act of the Parent as the act of Parent in the matters referred to in this paragraph. Other than as provided in this paragraph, each Additional Holder shall not, directly or indirectly, grant any Person any proxy (revocable or irrevocable), power of attorney or other authorization with respect to any of its Rollover Shares. Parent may terminate this proxy with respect to any Additional Holder at any time at its sole election by written notice provided to the Additional Holder.

Section 6.15        Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic transmission in “portable document format”), each such counterpart when executed shall be deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 6.16        Headings. The descriptive headings used herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 6.17        Termination. Except with respect to Section 4.1 (Representations and Warranties of each Holder) and this Article VI (Miscellaneous), this Agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (a) the Merger Closing, (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, and (c) September 30, 2024; provided, that any liability for any failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement prior to termination shall survive such termination.

Section 6.18        No Presumption Against Drafting Party. Each of the Parties to this Agreement acknowledges that it has been represented by independent counsel in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Accordingly, any rule of Law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the drafting party has no application and is expressly waived.

Section 6.19       No Partnership. Except as expressly contemplated herein, nothing in this Agreement is intended to, and this Agreement shall not, create a partnership between the parties hereto. Accordingly, (i) the rights, obligations and duties of each party hereto in relation to the other parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement shall be only those contractual rights, obligations and duties that are created by the express terms of this Agreement and shall not include any fiduciary or other implied rights, obligations or duties of any kind, (ii) no party hereto shall be authorized to act on behalf of the other parties except as otherwise expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement and (iii) no party hereto shall be obligated to any third party for the obligations or liabilities of any other party hereto.

Exhibit A

Shareholder Agreement Term Sheet

 

Documentation: At closing, Parent and the Holders will enter into a Shareholder Agreement containing the terms summarized below.
   
Security: The Holders will all hold equity interests (“Shares”) in Parent of the same class, type and preference, and at the same price per Share.  The parties intend for the Shares to be common stock and for Parent to be a Delaware corporation.
   
Board: The board of directors of Parent (the “Board”) will be elected by Holders holding a majority of Parent’s then-outstanding Shares.  Subject to the foregoing, the parties desire for the members of the Board to be substantially similar to those in effect prior to the Transactions.
   
Transfer: No Additional Holder may directly or indirectly Transfer, other than to customary affiliates, any Shares without the prior written consent of the Board.  Transfers by an Additional Holder to which the Board consents will also be subject to a right of first refusal in favor of Parent.
   
Tag-Along: Each Holder will have customary tag-along rights in connection with Transfers by a Holder to non-affiliates, subject to customary exceptions.
   
Drag-Along: If the Board proposes to Transfer to a non-affiliate all or any portion of the outstanding Shares or all or substantially all of the assets or business of Parent and its subsidiaries (in each case including in connection with an initial public offering), the Board will have the right to cause each Holder, to the extent applicable, to vote in favor of, reasonably cooperate with, waive any appraisal rights in respect of, and not oppose such transaction, in each case subject to customary limitations for the Holders being dragged.
   
Preemptive Rights: If Parent wishes to issue any equity of Parent or its subsidiaries, each Holder holding at least 1% of Parent’s then-outstanding Shares will have preemptive rights to its pro rata portion of such Shares (or equivalents), subject to customary exceptions.
   
Information Rights: Parent will provide to each Holder holding at least 5% of Parent’s then-outstanding Shares quarterly unaudited financial

 

   

 

 

  reports and annual audited financial reports, subject to customary limitations.
   
Management: Parent will have the right to repurchase Shares held by employees or service providers who are terminated or voluntarily terminate employment with the Company on terms customary for transactions of this nature (including satisfaction of all or a portion of the purchase price with a subordinated note on customary terms).  Additional Holders who are employees or service providers will also agree to confidentiality, non-compete and non-solicit restrictive covenants on customary terms effective until one year following the date on which they no longer hold Shares and are no longer an employee or service provider.
   
Amendments: The Shareholder Agreement may be amended or waived by Holders holding a majority of the then-outstanding Shares, provided, subject to customary exceptions, no amendment or waiver will apply to any Holders disproportionately adversely effected thereby, relative to the Holders approving such amendment or waiver, without the prior written consent of the Holders holdings of a majority of the Shares held by such disproportionately adversely effected Holders.
   
Expenses: Parent will be responsible for the payment or reimbursement of fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Sponsors in connection with the Transactions.
