Coattail Agreement and Founder Agreement
In connection with the issuance of 1,391,181 Multiple Voting Shares to Jay Giraud, the Company’s CEO and director, and its controlled entity, Lime Dragon Holdings Corp., on November 13, 2024, the Company and Mr. Giraud entered into a coattail agreement (the “Coattail Agreement”) and a founder agreement (the “Founder Agreement”).
Coattail Agreement
Under the Coattail Agreement, any sale of Multiple Voting Shares (other than a transfer to a pledgee as security) by a holder of Multiple Voting Shares party to the Coattail Agreement will be conditional upon the transferee becoming a party to the Coattail Agreement, to the extent such transferred Multiple Voting Shares are not automatically converted into common shares, also referred to as Subordinate Voting Shares herein, in accordance with the Articles.
The Coattail Agreement contains provisions for authorizing action by the trustee to enforce the rights under the Coattail Agreement on behalf of the holders of the Subordinate Voting Shares. The obligation of the trustee to take such action will be conditional on the combined company or holders of the Subordinate Voting Shares providing such funds and indemnity as the trustee may reasonably require. No holder of Subordinate Voting Shares will have the right, other than through the trustee, to institute any action or proceeding or to exercise any other remedy to enforce any rights arising under the Coattail Agreement unless the trustee fails to act on a request authorized by holders of not less than 10% of the outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares and reasonable funds and indemnity have been provided to the trustee.
Other than in respect of non-material amendments and waivers that do not adversely affect the interests of holders of Subordinate Voting Shares, the Coattail Agreement provides that, among other things, it may not be amended, and no provision thereof may be waived, unless, prior to giving effect to such amendment or waiver, the following have been obtained: (a) the consent of any applicable securities regulatory authority in Canada or the United States; and (b) the approval of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by holders of Subordinate Voting Shares represented at a meeting duly called for the purpose of considering such amendment or waiver, excluding votes attached to Subordinate Voting Shares held by the holder of Multiple Voting Shares or their affiliates and related parties and any persons who have an agreement to purchase Multiple Voting Shares on terms which would constitute a sale or disposition for purposes of the Coattail Agreement, other than as permitted thereby. Non-material amendments and waivers that do not adversely affect the interests of holders of Subordinate Voting Shares shall be subject to the approval of any applicable exchange on which the Subordinate Voting Shares trade but shall not require approval of holders of Subordinate Voting Shares.
The Coattail Agreement provides that, in the event that a lender transfers or takes beneficial ownership of Multiple Voting Shares pursuant to an enforcement by a lender of a pledge of, or other security interest in, such Multiple Voting Shares, the applicable Multiple Voting Shares will automatically be converted into Subordinate Voting Shares pursuant to the Articles such that, as a result of such enforcement, the applicable lender does not hold Multiple Voting Shares. Any Multiple Voting Share held by a lender pursuant to a pledge or other grant of a security interest shall be deemed to continue to be held by Jay Giraud so long as the lender has not transferred or taken beneficial ownership of such Multiple Voting Share pursuant to an enforcement by the lender of a pledge of, or other security interest in, such Multiple Voting Shares. A lender will have no rights as a shareholder until the occurrence of an event of default under the loan agreement.
No provision of the Coattail Agreement will limit the rights of any holders of Subordinate Voting Shares under applicable law.
Coattail Agreement
Under the Founder Agreement, Mr. Giraud shall not be entitled to transfer any of the Multiple Voting Shares to any other person, except for certain permitted transferees. Jay Giraud has also agreed to convert his Multiple Voting Shares into common shares upon:
● The shipment of 1,000 motorcycles to customers by the combined company; and
● Jay Giraud ceasing to be an executive officer of the combined company due to his voluntary resignation as both a director and an officer of the combined company, or his termination as an executive officer for cause (which termination has been confirmed by a court of competent jurisdiction, or in respect of which a claim is not brought within 90 days following such termination). |
7
In addition, under the Founder Agreement, Mr. Giraud has agreed that he will not vote or cause to be voted more than one-seventh of the number of Multiple Voting Shares that he owns, or over which he has voting control, in favour, against or withheld on a vote for the election or removal directors, except in the case of a vote for the election of directors proposed in any management information circular of the Company, in which case Mr. Giraud will be entitled to vote all Multiple Voting Shares held by him in favour of the slate of directors proposed in such management information circular.
The foregoing descriptions of the Coattail Agreement and the Founder Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full text of the respective agreements, which are filed as Exhibits 2 and 3 to this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.
Lock-Up Agreement
In connection with the entry in to the Business Combination Agreement by Damon Motors Inc., Mr. Giraud entered into a lock-up agreement, under which Mr Giraud agreed to lock-up restrictions with respect to any securities of the Company acquired pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement for 180 days following the closing of the Business Combination.
The foregoing description of the lock-up agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the agreement, a form of which is filed as Exhibit 4 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.
