SCHEDULE 5: OPTION TERMS

 

1.

OPTIO-OIKEUKSIEN MÄÄRÄ, OPTIO-OIKEUKSIEN SUUNTAAMINEN / NUMBER OF OPTION RIGHTS, RIGHT TO OPTION RIGHTS

Optio-oikeuksia annetaan yhteensä 10,530 kappaletta, joista jokainen oikeuttaa merkitsemään yhden IQM Finland Oy:n (y-tunnus 2912625-6) (Yhtiö) antaman uuden E-osakkeen.

Optio-oikeudet annetaan Kreos Capital VII Aggregator SCSP:lle. Optio-oikeudet annetaan vastikkeetta, ja merkitään allekirjoittamalla erillinen merkintävahvistus. Optio-oikeuksien saamisen edellytyksenä on, että optio-oikeuksien haltija allekirjoittaa Yhtiön kanssa erillisen optio-oikeuksia koskevan sopimuksen (“Warranttisopimus”) optio-oikeuksien merkinnän yhteydessä. Optio-oikeuksien antamiselle on yhtiön kannalta painava taloudellinen syy, koska optio-oikeudet on tarkoitettu osaksi yhtiön neuvottelemaa rahoituspakettia.

Optio-oikeuksia saa luovuttaa kolmannelle tai pantata vain Warranttisopimuksen mukaisesti.

A total of 10,530 option rights are issued, each of which entitles to subscribe for one new class E share issued by IQM Finland Oy (the Company) (business identity code 2912625-6).

The option rights are issued to Kreos Capital VII Aggregator SCSP. The option rights are issued free of charge and subscribed for by signing a separate subscription confirmation. In order to be entitled to receive the option rights the holder is required to sign a separate warrant agreement with the Company (“Warrant Agreement”) in connection with the subscription of the option rights. The Company has a weighty financial reason for the issue of option rights, since the option rights form part of the financing arrangement negotiated by the Company.

The option rights cannot be transferred or pledged to a third party other than in accordance with the Warrant Agreement.

 

2.

OSAKKEIDEN MERKINTÄHINTA / SHARE SUBSCRIPTION PRICE

Kunkin optio-oikeudella merkittävän E-osakkeen merkintähinta on 474,86 euroa. Osakkeiden merkintähinta perustuu Yhtiön E-sarjan osakkeista rahoitusjärjestelyn yhteydessä maksettuun hintaan.

The share subscription price for each series E share subscribed for by virtue of an option right is EUR 474.86. The subscription price of the shares is based on the price paid for the Company’s Series E share during a financing arrangement.

 

3.

OSAKKEIDEN MERKINTÄ JA MAKSU / SHARE SUBSCRIPTION AND PAYMENT

Optio-oikeuksilla merkittävien osakkeiden merkintäaika alkaa välittömästi niiden antamisen jälkeen ja päättyy kymmenen (10) vuoden kuluttua merkintäajan alkamisen jälkeen. Merkintähinta on maksettava Yhtiölle osakkeiden merkinnän yhteydessä. Osakkeiden merkintähinta merkitään kokonaisuudessaan Yhtiön sijoitetun vapaan pääoman rahastoon. Yhtiön hallitus päättää kaikista osakkeiden merkintään liittyvistä käytännön menettelytavoista.

The share subscription period for the option rights shall commence immediately upon issuance and shall end ten (10) years thereafter. The subscription price shall be paid to the Company in connection with the subscription of the shares. The subscription price of the shares will be fully recorded in the Company’s reserve for invested unrestricted equity. The Company’s board of directors will decide on all practical procedures related to the subscription of shares.

OSAKKEENOMISTAJAN OIKEUDET / SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS

Uudet osakkeet oikeuttavat osinkoon siltä tilikaudelta alkaen, jonka aikana osakkeet on merkitty. Muut osakkeenomistajan oikeudet alkavat osakkeiden rekisteröimisestä alkaen.

OSAKEANNIT, OPTIO-OIKEUDET JA MUUT OSAKKEISIIN OIKEUTTAVAT ERITYISET OIKEUDET ENNEN OSAKEMERKINTÄÄ / SHARE ISSUES, OPTION RIGHTS AND OTHER SPECIAL RIGHTS ENTITLING TO SHARES BEFORE SHARE SUBSCRIPTION

Mikäli Yhtiö ennen osakemerkintää päättää osakeannista tai uusien optio-oikeuksien tai muiden osakkeisiin oikeuttavien erityisten oikeuksien antamisesta, sillä ei ole vaikutusta optio-oikeuden haltijan asemaan. Edellä mainitusta poiketen, mikäli Yhtiö antaa uusia osakkeita, optio-oikeuksia tai muita osakeyhtiölain 10 luvun 1 §:ssä tarkoitettuja erityisiä oikeuksia osakkeenomistajille vastikkeettomasti näiden merkintäetuoikeuden mukaisessa suhteessa, joko optio-oikeuksien nojalla merkittävien osakkeiden määrää tai merkintähintaa tai molempia muutetaan siten, että optio-oikeuden haltijaa kohdellaan yhdenvertaisesti osakkeenomistajien kanssa hallituksen päättämällä tavalla.

Should the Company decide on an issue of shares or an issue of new option rights or other special rights entitling to shares before the exercise of the option rights, it shall have no impact on the position of the holder of the option rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company issues new shares, option rights or other special rights referred to in Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act without consideration to shareholders in proportion to their pre-emptive subscription rights, either the number of the shares that may be subscribed for with the option rights, the subscription price or both shall be adjusted such that the option holder is treated equally with the shareholders, as determined by the board of directors.

 

6.

OIKEUDET ERÄISSÄ ERITYISTAPAUKSISSA / RIGHTS IN CERTAIN CASES

Mikäli Yhtiö alentaa osakepääomaansa jakamalla osakepääomaa osakkeenomistajille tai jakaa varoja osakkeenomistajille joko vapaan oman pääoman rahastosta tai osinkona, kohdan 2 mukaista E-osakkeen merkintähintaa muutetaan vastaavassa suhteessa siten, että optio-oikeuden haltijan asema saatetaan samaan tilanteeseen, joka se olisi ilman sanottua varojenjakoa. Sama koskee Yhtiön omien osakkeiden hankkimista tai lunastamista ja/tai optio-oikeuksien tai muiden osakkeisiin oikeuttavien erityisten oikeuksien hankkimista.

Mikäli Yhtiö ennen E-sarjan osakkeiden osakemerkintää asetetaan selvitystilaan, varataan optio-oikeuksien haltijoille tilaisuus käyttää osakemerkintäoikeuttaan Yhtiön hallituksen asettamana määräaikana, mikäli optio-oikeudet muutoin ovat näiden erityisiä oikeuksia koskevien ehtojen mukaisesti käytettävissä ennen selvitystilamenettelyiden aloittamista. Mikäli Yhtiö ennen osakemerkintää poistetaan rekisteristä, on optio-oikeuden haltijalla sama tai yhdenvertainen oikeus osakkeenomistajan kanssa.

EXECUTION VERSION

 

Mikäli Yhtiö päättää sulautua sulautuvana yhtiönä toiseen yhtiöön tai kombinaatiofuusiossa muodostuvaan uuteen yhtiöön tai päättää jakautua kokonaisuudessaan, tai jos Yhtiö siirtää kotipaikkansa osakeyhtiölain 17 a luvun 1 §:n mukaisesti, annetaan optio-oikeuksien haltijalle oikeus merkitä osakkeet Yhtiön hallituksen asettamana määräaikana ennen sulautumista, jakautumista tai kotipaikan siirtoa. Tämän ajan jälkeen merkintäoikeutta ei ole. Edellä mainitusta poiketen, mikäli optio-oikeuksien haltijalle annetaan sulautumisen, jakautumisen tai kotipaikan siirron yhteydessä uusia optio-oikeuksia tai muita osakkeisiin kohdistuvia erityisiä oikeuksia, joiden taloudellinen arvo ei ole tällaisen transaktion täytäntöönpanohetkellä olennaisesti huonompi kuin olemassa olevien optio-oikeuksien, optio-oikeuksien haltijalla ei kuitenkaan ole edellä mainittua oikeutta osakkeiden merkintään. Edellä mainituissa tilanteissa optio-oikeuksien haltijalla ei ole oikeutta vaatia Yhtiötä lunastamaan optio-oikeutensa niiden käypään arvoon osakeyhtiölain mukaisesti. Sulautumisilla, joissa Yhtiö on vastaanottavana yhtiönä, tai osittaisjakautumisilla, ei ole vaikutuksia optio-oikeuksiin.

Mikäli jollekin osakkeenomistajista syntyy ennen osakkeiden merkintäajan päättymistä osakeyhtiölain 18 luvun 1 §:n tarkoittama lunastusoikeus ja -velvollisuus kaikkiin Yhtiön osakkeisiin sen perusteella, että osakkeenomistajalla on yli 90 % Yhtiön osakkeista ja osakkeiden tuottamista äänistä, varataan optio-oikeuden haltijalle tilaisuus käyttää optio-oikeuttaan hallituksen asettamana määräaikana tai optio-oikeuden haltijalla on osakkeenomistajan asemaa vastaava velvollisuus luovuttaa optio-oikeutensa lunastajalle.

Should the Company reduce its share capital by distributing share capital to the shareholders or distribute assets to the shareholders from reserves of unrestricted equity or as dividends, the subscription price of the series E share as set out in Section 2 shall be amended correspondingly such that the position of the holder of the option rights remains the same compared to a situation where such distribution had not taken place. The same shall apply to acquisition or redemption of the Company’s own shares and/or acquisition of option rights or other special rights entitling to shares.

Should the Company be placed in liquidation before the subscription of the series E Shares, the holder of option rights shall be reserved an opportunity to exercise its option rights to the extent that the option rights are exercisable under these terms and conditions of the option rights before the beginning of the liquidation proceedings, during a time period determined by the board of directors of the Company. Should the Company be deleted from the register before the exercise of the option rights, the holder of the option rights shall have the same right as, or an equal right to, that of a shareholder.

Should the Company resolve to merge into another company as the company being acquired or into a company to be formed in a combination merger, or if the Company resolves to be demerged, or if the Company transfer its registered office as referred to in Chapter 17a, Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act, the holder of option rights shall before the merger or demerger or transfer of registered office be given the right to exercise the option rights within the period of time determined by the board of directors. After such date, no subscription right shall exist. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the option holder is granted new options or other special rights entitling to shares in connection with such merger, demerger or transfer of registered office, and the economic value of such options or special rights at the time of consummation of such transaction is not substantially less than that of the existing option rights, the option holder shall not have a right to subscribe for shares. In the above situations, the holder of option rights has no right to require that the Company redeem the option rights from it for market value in accordance with the Finnish Companies Act. Mergers where the Company is the acquiring company or partial demergers of the Company shall have no effect on the option rights.

Should a redemption right and obligation in respect of all of the Company’s shares arise on the basis that a shareholder possesses over 90% of the shares and the votes of the Company, as referred to in Chapter 18 Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act, the holder of the option rights shall be given an opportunity to exercise the option rights within a period of time determined by the board of directors, or the holder of the option rights shall have an equal obligation to that of a shareholder to assign the option rights to the redeemer.
