11 Leakage and Tax conduct matters

11.1 Each of the Sellers severally (but not jointly or jointly and severally): (i) warrants that from the period from the Locked Box Accounts Date to the date of this agreement there was not, to their knowledge, any Leakage (other than any Leakage Disclosed to the Purchasers prior to the date of this agreement); and (ii) undertakes to the Purchasers to procure that there will be no Leakage in the period from (but excluding) the date of this agreement up to (and including) Completion.

11.2 The Purchasers acknowledge and agree that their sole remedy in respect of any Leakage (including any claim under clause ‎11.1) shall be a claim for payment of the relevant Leakage Amount under clause ‎11.3.

11.3 Hain Celestial shall promptly pay to the relevant Purchaser (or, if applicable, the Purchasers, apportioned in accordance with clause ‎3.3) on behalf of the relevant Seller on demand on an After-Tax Basis an amount in cash equal to any Leakage Amount, save to the extent already deducted from the Consideration in accordance with clause ‎3.2(a).

11.4 Any demand for payment under clause ‎11.3 must set out reasonable details of the Leakage, the Leakage Amount, the amount payable by Hain Celestial and the bank account(s) of the relevant Purchaser(s) into which such payment should be made.

11.5 Hain Celestial shall not be liable under clause ‎11.3 or otherwise for any Leakage Amount requested by the Purchasers unless:

(a) Completion has occurred in accordance with the terms of this agreement; and

(b) a demand for payment is made against Hain Celestial in accordance with clause ‎11.4 prior to 31 October 2027.

11.6 Each Seller severally undertakes to promptly notify the Purchasers in writing if it becomes aware of the occurrence of any Leakage which has taken place prior to Completion.

11.7 Within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt by Hain Celestial of a demand under clause ‎11.3 (the Claimed Leakage Amount), Hain Celestial shall notify the Purchasers in writing whether it accepts or disputes (in whole or in part) the Claimed Leakage Amount, providing reasonable details of its grounds for any dispute. Failure by Hain Celestial to respond within such period shall be deemed to be a dispute by Hain Celestial of the Leakage Amount in full.

11.8 If Hain Celestial disputes (or is deemed to reject) the Claimed Leakage Amount (in whole or in part), Hain Celestial and the Purchasers shall seek in good faith to agree on the amount of the disputed Leakage within fifteen (15) Business Days of Hain Celestial’s dispute notice (or deemed rejection of the Claimed Leakage Amount) (the Leakage Dispute Resolution Period).

11.9 If Hain Celestial and the Purchasers fail to reach agreement on the disputed amount within the Leakage Dispute Resolution Period, either Hain Celestial (on the one hand) or one or both of the Purchasers (on the one hand) may, by written notice to the other, communicate its

intention to refer the dispute to an independent expert (the Leakage Expert) for final determination. The Leakage Expert shall be:

(a) an internationally recognised accounting firm (other than the auditors of any Group Company), with relevant experience in similar M&A transactions;

(b) agreed upon by Hain Celestial and the Purchasers in writing within ten (10) Business Days after such communication, or, failing such agreement, Hain Celestial and the Purchasers shall agree a list of not less than four internationally recognised accounting firms and legal counsel of the Purchasers shall appoint the firm from this list by lot;

(c) engaged on written terms of reference agreed by Hain Celestial and the Purchasers (or, absent agreement within five Business Days of the Leakage Expert’s appointment, on such terms as the Leakage Expert considers appropriate, acting reasonably) which shall require the Leakage Expert to determine the disputed amount within thirty (30) Business Days of appointment (or such longer period as the Leakage Expert may reasonably require).

11.10 The Leakage Expert shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator and shall determine the disputed Claimed Leakage Amount (or the disputed part thereof) having regard to the terms of this agreement, the evidence and submissions provided by the parties, and such other matters as the Leakage Expert considers relevant. The Leakage Expert’s determination shall be final and binding on the Parties, save in the case of manifest error or fraud. The Leakage Expert shall be required to seek independent legal advice where they consider that such advice is required.

11.11 The fees and expenses of the Leakage Expert shall be borne and paid by the Sellers and the Purchasers (in each case pro rata in the Relevant Proportions) as the Leakage Expert may in its absolute discretion (taking into account its determination of the disputed Claimed Leakage Amount) determine, failing which they shall be borne and paid 50% by the Sellers (pro rata in the Relevant Proportions), on the one hand, and 50% by the Purchasers (pro rata in the Relevant Proportions), on the other hand. Each Party shall bear its own costs in connection with any proceedings before the Leakage Expert.

11.12 Within ten (10) Business Days of (i) Hain Celestial’s acceptance of the Claimed Leakage Amount, (ii) agreement by the parties on the disputed amount, or (iii) the Leakage Expert’s determination (as applicable), Hain Celestial shall pay or procure payment to the relevant Purchaser (or, if applicable, the Purchasers, apportioned in accordance with clause ‎3.3) the amount so accepted, agreed or determined (as the case may be), if any.

11.13 Adjustment for Leakage prior to Completion

(a) If the Purchasers:

(i) are notified of any Leakage under clause ‎11.6; or

(ii) otherwise become aware prior to Completion of Leakage that is agreed by the relevant Seller to constitute Leakage

(together, Notified Leakage),

the Consideration to be paid to the relevant Seller shall be reduced by the full amount of such Notified Leakage pursuant to clause ‎3 (and the payment of the amount of the Consideration so reduced shall be an absolute discharge of: (i) the Purchasers’ obligations hereunder in respect of the Consideration to be paid to the relevant Seller

pursuant to this agreement; and (ii) the relevant Seller's obligations under clause ‎11.3 in relation to the Notified Leakage).

(b) For the avoidance of doubt:

(i) the fact that any Leakage comes to the attention of either of the Purchasers on or prior to Completion but is not agreed by the relevant Seller to constitute Leakage (and is thereby not included in the Notified Leakage deducted from the Consideration payable under clause ‎3), shall not affect the Sellers’ obligations or the Purchasers’ rights pursuant to clause ‎11.3 or otherwise under this agreement in respect of that Leakage Amount; and

(ii) the fact that Notified Leakage has been deducted from the Consideration pursuant to this clause ‎11.13, shall not preclude either of the Purchasers from claiming any further amounts payable pursuant to clause ‎11.3 if and to the extent the actual Leakage Amount exceeds the amount included in relation thereto in the Notified Leakage.

11.14 Following Completion, the Purchasers undertake to promptly notify Hain Celestial in writing if they become aware of any Assessment, and shall, and shall procure that each Group Company shall, take such action and give such information and assistance in connection with the affairs of each Group Company as Hain Celestial may reasonably request to avoid, resist, appeal or compromise any Assessment.

11.15 The Purchasers shall not be required to take any action or procure any action pursuant to clause ‎11.14:

(a) unless the Purchasers and each Group Company are each promptly indemnified by Hain Celestial (on an After-Tax Basis) against all losses, third party costs, damages and expenses that are or may be thereby incurred (including Tax);

(b) unless (if requested by the Purchasers) the Group Company concerned has been advised by leading independent tax counsel acceptable to the Purchasers in their reasonable discretion, after disclosure of all relevant information and documents, that it is reasonable to take the action requested by Hain Celestial; or

(c) if, in the Purchasers’ reasonable opinion, the action may conflict with obligations under any policy of insurance, including the W&I Policy, may lead to any aspect of such a policy being unenforceable, or may constitute a breach of any provision of such policy.

11.16 If Hain Celestial does not request the Purchasers to take any appropriate action within fourteen days of notice to Hain Celestial under clause ‎11.14, or no action is required to be taken by virtue of any of the provisions of clause ‎11.15, the Purchaser shall be free to satisfy or settle (or to allow the Group Company concerned to satisfy or settle) the relevant Tax Liability on such terms as it may in its absolute discretion think fit.

11.17 For the purposes of clause ‎11.14, in determining whether an action requested by Hain Celestial is reasonable, regard shall be had to all the circumstances, including without limitation:

(a) the merits of the relevant Assessment and the prospects of the requested action successfully resisting or compromising the Assessment (or any adjudication in respect thereof) (having regard to any advice obtained pursuant to clause ‎11.15(c));

(b) any costs likely to be incurred in connection with the action requested; and

(c) the potential Cash Extraction Tax Liability that could arise from the Assessment and the proportions in which that Cash Extraction Tax Liability, and any costs, would be borne as between Hain Celestial and the Purchaser having regard to all relevant limitations on liability.

11.18 Hain Celestial shall not be liable for any Cash Extraction Tax Liability if, but then only to the extent that, the Cash Extraction Tax Liability has been or is made good or is otherwise compensated for or discharged without cost to the Purchasers or any Group Company.

11.19 To the extent not submitted prior to Completion, Hain Celestial shall (at its own cost):

(a) procure the preparation of the Tax returns of each Group Company for accounting periods ending before Completion (the Relevant Periods);

(b) procure the preparation of all documentation relating to the Tax returns of each Group Company for the Relevant Periods;

(c) procure the preparation of any Tax returns of a Group Company which relate solely to a step undertaken in accordance with the KPMG Steps Paper; and

(d) procure the delivery to the Purchasers a draft of any Tax return and/or related documentation for which Hain Celestial is responsible under paragraphs (a) to (c) above a reasonable period (and in any event not less than 30 Business Days) before the date on which it is due to be filed.

11.20 Except with the Purchasers’ written consent, Hain Celestial shall not, and shall procure that its duly authorised agents do not, prepare any Tax return (or any related documentation): (a) in connection with the tax affairs of a Group Company for a Relevant Period unless the return or other document is on a basis which is consistent with past practice, the Accounts and the Locked Box Accounts; or (b) under clause ‎11.19(c) unless the return or other document is on a basis which is consistent with the tax analysis contained in the KPMG Steps Paper. Hain Celestial shall procure that no Tax return or other documentation is prepared pursuant to clause ‎11.19 which is not, so far as Hain Celestial is aware, complete, true and accurate in all respects, and not misleading.

11.21 The Purchasers shall:

(a) procure that each Group Company causes the Tax returns and other documentation and matters provided to it in draft by Hain Celestial under clause ‎11.19 to be authorised, signed and submitted to the appropriate Tax Authority, provided that the Purchasers shall not be obliged to procure the submission of any Tax return or documentation to the extent it (acting reasonably and in good faith, having taken appropriate professional advice) considers any position reflected in it to be incorrect, not true and accurate in all material respects, or considers that it is more likely than not that such position is incorrect, and the Purchaser (or the relevant Group Company) shall be entitled to make such amendments to any such Tax return or documentation as it reasonably considers necessary before submission; and

(b) give, and procure that each Group Company gives, Hain Celestial or its agent all such assistance as may be reasonably required to prepare the Tax returns and documentation mentioned in clause ‎11.19.

11.22 If the Purchasers propose to make amendments to any Tax return or documentation prepared by Hain Celestial before submission, the Purchasers shall notify Hain Celestial of such amendments prior to submission and shall procure that account is taken of any reasonable comments provided in writing by Hain Celestial, provided that such comments are received promptly.

11.23 Subject to clauses ‎11.15 to ‎11.22 and ‎11.24 to ‎11.27 below, following Completion the Purchasers or their duly authorised agents shall have sole conduct of all Tax affairs of each of the Group Companies and shall be entitled to deal with such Tax affairs in any way in which it, in its absolute discretion, considers fit.

11.24 In respect of any Tax accounting period of a Group Company commencing prior to the Completion Date (the Straddle Period), the Purchasers shall procure that the Tax returns of each Group Company not prepared prior to Completion shall be prepared on a basis which is consistent with the tax analysis in the KPMG Steps Paper, provided that the Purchasers shall not be obliged to procure the submission of any Tax return or documentation to the extent it (acting reasonably and in good faith, having taken appropriate professional advice) considers any position reflected in it to be incorrect, not true and accurate in all material respects, or considers that it is more likely than not that such position is incorrect.

11.25 The Purchasers shall procure that the Group Companies provide to Hain Celestial copies of all Tax returns in respect of the Straddle Period no later than 20 Business Days before the date on which such Tax returns are required to be filed with the appropriate Tax Authority without incurring interest or penalties to the extent that the Tax return relates to the implementation of the KPMG Steps (and for the avoidance of doubt, the Purchasers shall be entitled to redact such returns as required). In respect of the Tax treatment of the KPMG Steps only, the Purchasers shall further procure that reasonable account is taken of Hain Celestial’s comments before the Tax returns are submitted to the appropriate Tax Authority.

11.26 The Sellers shall provide such assistance as the Purchasers shall reasonably request in preparing all Tax returns and related documentation relating to the Straddle Period.

11.27 The rights of the Sellers under clauses ‎11.14 to ‎11.26 are subject in all respects to the rights of the Insurer and the obligations of the Purchaser under the W&I Policy, and shall not under any circumstances require the Purchasers or any Group Company to take (or refrain from taking) any action which is inconsistent with the rights of the Insurer or the obligations of the Purchaser under the W&I Policy, or which could reasonably be expected to prejudice any claim by the Purchasers under the W&I Policy.

12 Sellers limitations

12.1 The liability of the Sellers under or in respect of any Claim shall be limited by, and all Claims shall be dealt with in accordance with, the provisions set out in ‎Schedule 5 and ‎Part 1 of ‎Schedule 4.

12.2 Nothing in ‎Schedule 5 or in ‎Part 1 of ‎Schedule 4 shall operate to exclude or limit any liability of a Seller or any remedy available to the Purchasers in relation to any Claim that arises as a result of fraud on the part of the Sellers.

The Purchasers undertake to the Sellers that:

(a) the W&I Policy will include:

1.2 Since the Accounts Date, no Group Company has been involved in any transaction which has given or may give rise to a liability to Tax on any Group Company (or would have given or might give rise to such liability but for the availability of any Relief) other than Tax in respect of transactions entered into by the Group Company concerned in the ordinary course of business as carried on at the Accounts Date.

1.3 Each Group Company has in the previous four years, and within any appropriate time limits, submitted all Tax returns, given all notices and supplied all other information required to be supplied to all relevant Tax Authorities. All such information was and remains complete and accurate in all material respects and all such returns and notices were complete and accurate in all material respects and were made on the proper basis.

1.4 Each Group Company has in the previous four years duly discharged all Tax which has fallen due for payment.

1.5 Each Group Company has in the previous four years properly made all deductions and withholdings on account of Tax required to be made in respect of any payment made or benefit provided on or before the date of this agreement and has to the extent required by law or the published practice of a Tax Authority properly accounted for all such deductions and withholdings.

1.8 Within the past four years, no Group Company nor any director or officer of any Group Company (in their capacity as such) has paid or become liable to pay, and, so far as the Sellers are aware, there are no facts or circumstances by reason of which it or they may become liable to pay to any Tax Authority, any penalty, fine, surcharge or interest in respect of Tax (including in respect of any failure to make any return, give any notice or supply any information to any relevant Tax Authority, or any failure to keep or preserve any records or to pay Tax on the due date for payment), or has been criminally convicted of any offence related to Tax.

with any such Ruling fully and accurately disclosed all facts and circumstances material to the giving of such Ruling. Any transaction for which such Ruling was obtained has been carried out only in accordance with the terms of such Ruling and the application on which the Ruling was based and at a time when such Ruling was valid and effective. No facts or circumstances have arisen since any such Ruling was obtained which would cause the Ruling to become invalid, unlawful or ineffective.

1.10 In relation to each Group Company, the Disclosed Information gives full details of all surrenders of group relief which have not been finally agreed or otherwise determined, or where the losses or other amounts to which the claim relates have not been finally agreed or otherwise determined, and any payments made or agreed to be made in respect of such surrenders.

1.11 Neither the entry into nor performance of obligations under the Acquisition Documents, nor the satisfaction of any condition to which this agreement is subject will give rise to the deemed disposal of any asset, an obligation to pay any Tax which was previously deferred or any other Tax charge other than in respect of actual sale proceeds received by any Group Company.

1.12 The amount of Tax chargeable on each Group Company during any accounting period ending on or within four years of the Accounts Date has not depended upon any concession, agreement or other arrangement with any Tax Authority (other than concessions, agreements or arrangements that are the subject of the published practice or guidance of a Tax Authority).

1.13 Each Group Company has fulfilled all of the requirements and made all relevant payments or deductions as required under the IR35 Rules and/or Off Payroll Working Rules or otherwise and holds all documentation relating to all engagements, including but not limited to status determination statements. The Sellers shall ensure all documentation relating to all engagements are available to the Purchasers upon Completion.
