• |
we have a concentrated customer base, and our failure to retain our existing contracts with our customers could have a significant adverse effect on our business;
|
• |
we do not have a formal joint venture agreement or any other operating or shareholders’ agreement with Pollard Banknote Limited (“Pollard”) with respect to NPI, our joint venture with Pollard, through which we conduct a substantial
amount of our business;
|
• |
a reduction in discretionary consumer spending could have an adverse impact on our business;
|
• |
the growth of our business largely depends on our continued ability to procure new contracts;
|
• |
we incur significant costs related to the procurement of new contracts, which we may be unable to recover in a timely manner, or at all;
|
• |
intense competition exists in the iLottery industry, and we expect competition to continue to intensify;
|
• |
our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance or other disruptions;
|
• |
in addition to competition with other iLottery providers, we and our customers also compete with providers of other online offerings;
|
• |
the gaming and lottery industries are heavily regulated, and changes to the regulatory framework in the jurisdictions in which we operate could harm our existing operations; and
|
• |
while we have not experienced a material impact to date, the ongoing COVID-19 and similar health epidemics and contagious disease outbreaks could significantly disrupt our operations and adversely affect our business, results of
operations, cash flows or financial condition.
|
• |
recessions or other economic slowdowns;
|
• |
perceptions by potential players of weak or weakening economic conditions;
|
• |
tax increases, including on lottery winnings;
|
• |
significant declines in stock markets;
|
• |
decreased liquidity in certain financial markets;
|
• |
general tightening of credit;
|
• |
civil unrest, terrorist activities or other forms of socio-political turbulence; and
|
• |
pandemics, epidemics and the spread of contagious diseases.
|
• |
we may fail to anticipate and adapt to changes in customer expectations at the same rate as our competitors;
|
• |
customers who currently utilize platforms offered by our competitors may be satisfied with such solutions or may determine that it is too costly and/or time consuming to adopt our platform and solutions. Lotteries may face significant
switching costs if their platforms have been integrated with those of a competitor, potentially reducing the likelihood of us being the successful tenderer;
|
• |
lotteries that we currently view as potential customers may decide to develop internally products and services which compete with our products and services; and
|
• |
new competitors, including large global corporations or large software vendors operating in adjacent industries, may enter our market.
|
• |
the timing with which we may realize the benefits of the commonly-required significant, upfront capital investments;
|
• |
the accuracy of our estimates of player preferences, and the fit of the new products and features to such preferences;
|
• |
the ability to adequately maintain our main technology systems, such as the NeoDraw platform;
|
• |
the quality of our products and services, including the possibility of software defects, which could result in claims against us or the inability to sell our products and services;
|
• |
the need to educate our sales, marketing and services personnel to work with the enhanced or new products and features, which may strain our resources and lengthen sales cycles;
|
• |
market acceptance of new product releases; and
|
• |
competitor product introductions or regulatory changes that render our products obsolete.
|
• |
variations in our operating results;
|
• |
actual or anticipated changes in the estimates of our operating results;
|
• |
changes in stock market analyst recommendations regarding our Ordinary Shares, other comparable companies or our industry generally;
|
• |
macro-economic conditions in the countries in which we do business;
|
• |
currency exchange fluctuations and the denominations in which we conduct business and hold our cash reserves;
|
• |
market conditions in our industry;
|
• |
actual or expected changes in our growth rates or our competitors’ growth rates;
|
• |
changes in regulation applicable to our industry;
|
• |
changes in the market valuation of similar companies;
|
• |
the trading volume of our shares on Nasdaq;
|
• |
sales of our Ordinary Shares by our Founding Shareholders and William Hill;
|
• |
sales of our Ordinary Shares by us or our shareholders; and
|
• |
the adoption or modification of regulations, policies, procedures or programs applicable to our business.
|
• |
the judgment of the U.S. court is final and enforceable (exécutoire) in the United States;
|
• |
the U.S. court had jurisdiction over the subject matter leading to the judgment (that is, its jurisdiction was in compliance both with Luxembourg private international law rules and with the applicable domestic U.S. federal or state
jurisdictional rules);
|
• |
the U.S. court has applied to the dispute the substantive law that would have been applied by Luxembourg courts. Based on recent case law and legal doctrine, it is not certain that this condition would still be required for an exequatur
to be granted by a Luxembourg court;
|
• |
the judgment was granted following proceedings where the counterparty had the opportunity to appear and, if it appeared, to present a defense, and the decision of the foreign court must not have been obtained by fraud, but in compliance
with the rights of the defendant;
|
• |
the U.S. court has acted in accordance with its own procedural laws; and
|
• |
the decisions and the considerations of the U.S. court must not be contrary to Luxembourg international public policy rules, must not have been given in proceedings of a tax or criminal nature and must not have been rendered subsequent
to an evasion of Luxembourg law (fraude a la loi).

|
• |
draw based games (“DBGs”), such as Powerball, in which players select numbers and the winning combination or ticket is determined by a scheduled draw; and
|
• |
instant tickets (“Instants”) in which players can instantly reveal a pre-determined result through which they can learn whether their ticket entitles them to a prize.
|
• |
Greater flexibility for the lottery - NeoDraw can operate independently or in parallel with an existing retail central lottery system and is not constrained by limitations of traditional lottery
systems.
|
• |
Quicker time to market - NeoDraw is fully-integrated with NeoSphere. This reduces the complexity, resources and time required to integrate with a third-party system to launch traditional games.
|
• |
Additional functionality - NeoDraw enables us and our lottery customers to introduce new innovations related to online purchase flows, shopping cart functionality and in-game features that are in
some cases not available with legacy central lottery systems.
|
• |
Marketing operations - we provide targeted marketing services and data analytics to our North American customers through the entire player lifecycle, from digital acquisition and onboarding to
game participation. Such operations include:
|
• |
implementation of promotional campaigns tailored to player segments;
|
• |
maximization of the return generated from a player;
|
• |
results-based analytics of player behavior;
|
• |
player-level segmentation-based evaluation of the player’s activity status, game orientation, deposit characteristics, reaction to previous promotional campaigns and account balance status;
|
• |
predictive analysis of the lifetime value of players acquired from different marketing and promotional campaigns; and
|
• |
information regarding the decision on which player acquisition strategies and marketing campaigns to focus and which to abandon.
|
• |
Player operations - leveraging years of experience managing players on behalf of our customers, we provide to our North American customers various services designed to offer the best possible
services to iLottery players. Such operations include:
|
• |
a customer service center based in Lansing, Michigan, which services our North American customers;
|
• |
responsible gaming services to proactively detect and react to player gaming behaviors;
|
• |
compliance services including anti-money-laundering (“AML”) and know-your-customer solutions to meet the customer’s local requirements; and
|
• |
facilitating the flow of funds throughout the entire player lifecycle, from funding to cash-outs.
|
• |
Technology operations - these operations, which we provide to many of our customers, are meant to provide the full spectrum of monitoring and maintenance of the platforms we deploy for our
customers and protect the integrity of our back-end iLottery software. Such operations include:
|
• |
the deployment of our technology platforms in the form of a SaaS offering;
|
• |
ongoing deployments of advanced versions of our software;
|
• |
handling of all reported production incidents;
|
• |
verification of technological defects, and potential escalation to the development team; and
|
• |
monitoring the network’s performance for degradation and potentially fraudulent activity.
|
• |
Business operations - we facilitate payment processing services by third-party vendors and manage customer-facing personnel. Such operations include:
|
• |
integrating third-party payment solutions into our platforms to allow for credit and debit card transactions and bank transfers;
|
• |
serving as merchant of record on behalf of our customers;
|
• |
recruiting, training and managing customer service representatives; and
|
• |
developing and managing the project plan required to deploy each solution.
|
• |
Entertainment value - the level of player interaction as part of the game, the complexity level of playing the game, the multimedia experience (design, animation and audio), and the duration of a
game.
|
• |
Mathematics - controlling the risk level of the game and optimizing the game experience to the risk profile of iLottery players (given the target payout ratio).

Under Luxembourg law, at least 5% of our net profits per year must be allocated to the creation of a legal reserve until such reserve has reached an amount equal to 10% of our issued share capital. The allocation to the legal reserve
becomes compulsory again when the legal reserve no longer represents 10% of our issued share capital. The legal reserve is not available for distribution. As of December 31, 2020 we had no legal reserve.
|
• |
Under Luxembourg law, the amount of distributions paid to shareholders (including in the form of dividends, share premium reimbursements or capital surplus reimbursements) may not exceed the amount of profits at the end of the last
financial year plus any profits carried forward and any amounts drawn from reserves that are available for that purpose, less any losses carried forward and sums to be placed in reserve in accordance with Luxembourg law or our articles of
association. Furthermore, no distributions (including in the form of dividends, share premium reimbursements or capital surplus reimbursements) may be made if net assets were, at the end of the last financial year (or would become,
following such a distribution), less than the amount of the subscribed share capital plus the non-distributable reserves. Distributions in the form of dividends may only be made out of net profits and profits carried forward, whereas
distributions in the form of share premium reimbursements may only be made out of available share premium and distributions in the form of capital surplus reimbursements may only be made out of available capital surplus.

See Note 6

In January 2019, the U.S. Department of Justice (“DoJ”) issued a new interpretation of its previous 2011 interpretation relating to the applicability of the Wire Act to internet gaming conducted by state lotteries. The 2011 interpretation had determined that the Wire Act only applied to sports betting. The new January 2019 interpretation reverses this view and, in effect, indicates the Wire Act covers all forms of gambling. On January 15, 2019, the Deputy Attorney General issued a memorandum stating that Department of Justice attorneys should adhere to the 2018 Opinion, but that as an exercise of discretion, the Department would refrain from applying the new interpretation to persons who engaged in conduct in reliance on the interpretation set forth in the 2011 Opinion prior to the date of the new 2018 Opinion and for 90 days thereafter.

except in the case of ordinary shares acquired either by us or by a person acting in his or her own name but on behalf of us for the distribution thereof to our staff or to the staff of a company with which we are in a control
relationship, prior authorization by a simple majority vote must be obtained at an ordinary general meeting of shareholders, which authorization sets forth:
|
• |
the terms and conditions of the proposed repurchase and in particular the maximum number of ordinary shares to be repurchased;
|
• |
the duration of the period for which the authorization is given (which may not exceed five years); and
|
• |
in the case of repurchase for consideration, the minimum and maximum consideration per share;
|
• |
only fully paid-up ordinary shares may be repurchased;
|
• |
the repurchases may not have the effect of reducing net assets below the amount of the issued share capital plus reserves (which may not be distributed by law or under our amended
and restated articles of association);
|
• |
the voting and dividend rights attached to the repurchased shares will be suspended as long as the repurchased ordinary shares are held by us; and
|
• |
the repurchase offer must be made on the same terms and conditions to all the shareholders who are in the same position, except for repurchases which were unanimously decided by a general meeting at which all the shareholders were present
or represented (and except in accordance with Article 430-15, 4° of the Luxembourg Company Law).

Board of Directors
|
|
||
|
Pursuant to Luxembourg law, our board of directors must be composed of at least three directors. They are appointed by the general meeting of shareholders (by proposal
of the board of directors, the shareholders or a spontaneous candidacy) by a simple majority of the votes cast. Directors may be reelected, but the term of their office may not exceed six years.
Pursuant to our amended and restated articles of association, directors are elected by a simple majority vote at a general meeting. Abstentions
are not considered “votes.”
Our amended and restated articles of association provide, that in case of a vacancy, the remaining members of the board of directors may elect a
director to fill the vacancy until the following general meeting.
Each director has one vote.
Our amended and restated articles of association provide that the board of directors may set up committees and determine their composition,
powers, and rules.
|
|
A typical certificate of incorporation and bylaws would provide that the number of directors on the board of directors will be fixed from time to time by a vote of the majority of the authorized directors. Under
Delaware law, a board of directors can be divided into classes, and cumulative voting in the election of directors is only permitted if expressly authorized in a corporation’s certificate of incorporation.
|
|
|
Interested Shareholders
|
|
||
|
Under Luxembourg law, no restriction exists as to the transactions that a shareholder may conclude with us. The transaction must, however, be in our corporate interest and be made on arm’s length terms.
|
|
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in specified corporate transactions (such as
mergers, stock and asset sales, and loans) with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the time that the shareholder becomes an interested shareholder. Subject to specified exceptions, an “interested shareholder” is a person or
group that owns 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock (including any rights to acquire stock pursuant to an option, warrant, agreement, arrangement or understanding, or upon the exercise of conversion or exchange rights,
and stock with respect to which the person has voting rights only), or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the voting stock at any time within the previous three years.
A Delaware corporation may elect to “opt out” of, and not be governed by, Section 203 of the DGCL through a provision in either its original certificate of
incorporation, or an amendment to its original certificate or bylaws that was approved by majority shareholder vote. With a limited exception, this amendment would not become effective until 12 months following its adoption.

Amendment of Governing Documents
|
|
||
|
Under Luxembourg law, amendments to our articles of association require an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders held in front of a public notary at which at
least one half of the share capital is represented. The notice of the extraordinary general meeting shall set out the proposed amendments to the articles of association.
If the aforementioned quorum is not reached, a second meeting may be convened by means of a notice published in the Luxembourg official electronic gazette (Mémorial C, Recueil des Sociétés et Associations, or Recueil Electronique des Sociétés et Associations, as applicable) and in a Luxembourg newspaper 15 days before the meeting. The second meeting shall be validly
constituted regardless of the proportion of the share capital represented.
At both meetings, resolutions will be adopted if approved by at least two-thirds of the votes cast (unless otherwise required by Luxembourg law or the articles of
association). Where classes of shares exist and the resolution to be adopted by the general meeting of shareholders changes the respective rights attaching to such shares, the resolution will be adopted only if the conditions as to quorum and
majority set out above are fulfilled with respect to each class of shares. This also applies with respect to the beneficiary certificates. An increase of the commitments of its shareholders require, however, the unanimous consent of the
shareholders (and bondholders, if any).
Our articles of association provide that for any extraordinary resolutions to be considered at a general meeting, the quorum shall be at least one-half of our issued
share capital. If the said quorum is not present, a second meeting may be convened at which Luxembourg law does not prescribe a quorum. Any extraordinary resolution shall be adopted at a quorate general meeting (save as otherwise provided by
mandatory law) by a two-thirds majority of the votes validly cast on such resolution. Abstentions are not considered “votes.”
In very limited circumstances, the board of directors may be authorized by the shareholders to amend the articles of association, albeit always within the limits set
forth by the shareholders at a duly convened shareholders’ meeting. This is the case in the context of our authorized share capital within which the board of directors is authorized to issue further ordinary shares or in the context of a
share capital reduction and cancellation of ordinary shares. The board of directors is then authorized to appear in front of a notary public to record the capital increase or decrease and to amend the share capital set forth in the articles
of association. The above also applies in case of the transfer of our registered office outside the current municipality.
|
|
Under the DGCL, amendments to a corporation’s certificate of incorporation require the approval of shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the amendment. If a class vote on
the amendment is required by the DGCL or the certificate of incorporation, a majority of the outstanding stock of the class is required, unless a greater proportion is specified in the certificate of incorporation or by other provisions of
the DGCL. Under the DGCL, the board of directors may amend bylaws if so authorized in the charter. The shareholders of a Delaware corporation also have the power to amend bylaws.

Meetings of Shareholders
|
|
||
|
Pursuant to Luxembourg law, at least one general meeting of shareholders must be held each year within six months as from the close of the financial year. The purpose
of such ordinary general meeting is to approve the annual accounts, allocate the results, proceed to statutory appointments, and grant discharge to the directors. The ordinary general meeting must be held within six months of the end of each
financial year.
Other meetings of shareholders may be convened.
Pursuant to Luxembourg law, the board of directors is obliged to convene a general meeting so that it is held within a period of one month of the receipt of a written
request of shareholders representing one-tenth of the issued capital. Such request must be in writing and indicate the agenda of the meeting.
Quorum Requirements:
Luxembourg law distinguishes ordinary resolutions and extraordinary resolutions.
Extraordinary resolutions relate to proposed amendments to the articles of association and certain other limited matters. All other resolutions are ordinary
resolutions.
Ordinary Resolutions: Pursuant to Luxembourg law, there is no requirement of a quorum for any ordinary resolutions to be considered
at a general meeting, and such ordinary resolutions shall be adopted by a simple majority of votes validly cast on such resolution. Abstentions are not considered “votes.”
Extraordinary Resolutions: Extraordinary resolutions are required for any of the following matters, among others: (i) an increase or
decrease of the authorized or issued capital, (ii) a limitation or exclusion of preemptive rights, (iii) approval of a statutory merger or de-merger (scission), (iv) dissolution, and (v) an amendment of the articles of association.
Pursuant to Luxembourg law for any extraordinary resolutions to be considered at a general meeting, the quorum shall generally be at least one half (50%) of the issued
share capital. If the said quorum is not present, a second meeting may be convened at which Luxembourg law does not prescribe a quorum. Any extraordinary resolution shall be adopted at a quorate general meeting (save as otherwise provided by
mandatory law) by a two-thirds majority of the votes validly cast on such resolution. Abstentions are not considered “votes.”
|
|
Typical bylaws provide that annual meetings of shareholders are to be held on a date and at a time fixed by the board of directors. Under the DGCL, a special meeting of
shareholders may be called by the board of directors or by any other person authorized to do so in the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws.
Under the DGCL, a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws can specify the number of shares that constitute the quorum required to conduct business at a
meeting, provided that in no event shall a quorum consist of less than one-third of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting.

Shareholder Approval of Business Combinations
|
|
||
|
Under Luxembourg law and our amended and restated articles of association, the board of directors has the broadest power to take any action
necessary or useful to achieve the corporate objective. The board of directors’ powers are limited only by law and our amended and restated articles of association.
Any type of transaction that would require an amendment to the articles of association, such as a merger, de-merger, consolidation, dissolution, or voluntary
liquidation, requires an extraordinary resolution of a general meeting of shareholders.
Transactions such as a sale, lease, or exchange of substantial company assets require only the approval of the board of directors. Neither Luxembourg law
nor our amended and restated articles of association contain any provision specifically requiring the board of directors to obtain shareholder approval of the sale, lease, or exchange of substantial assets of ours.
|
|
Generally, under the DGCL, completion of a merger, consolidation, or the sale, lease, or exchange of substantially all of a corporation’s assets or dissolution requires
approval by the board of directors and by a majority (unless the certificate of incorporation requires a higher percentage) of outstanding stock of the corporation entitled to vote.
The DGCL also requires a special vote of shareholders in connection with a business combination with an “interested shareholder” as defined in section 203 of the DGCL.
See “- Interested Shareholders” above.
|
|
|
Shareholder Action Without a Meeting
|
|
||
|
A shareholder meeting must always be called if the matter to be considered requires a shareholder resolution under Luxembourg law or our amended
and restated articles of association.
Without prejudice to any exceptional legal regimes applicable from time to time in view of the COVID-19 pandemic, pursuant to Luxembourg law, shareholders of a public
limited liability company may not take actions by written consent. All shareholder actions must be approved at an actual meeting of shareholders held before a notary public or under private seal, depending on the nature of the matter.
Shareholders may vote by proxy.
|
|
Under the DGCL, unless otherwise provided in a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, any action that may be taken at a meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and
without a vote if the holders of outstanding stock, having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize such action, consent in writing. It is not uncommon for a corporation’s certificate of incorporation to
prohibit such action.
|
|
|
Distributions
|
|
||
|
Under Luxembourg law, the amount and payment of dividends or other distributions is determined by a simple majority vote at a general meeting of
shareholders based on the recommendation of our board of directors, except in certain limited circumstances. Pursuant to our amended and restated articles of association, our board of directors has the power to pay interim dividends
or make other distributions in accordance with applicable Luxembourg law.
Distributions (in the form of either dividends, share premium reimbursements or capital surplus reimbursements) may be lawfully declared and paid if our net profits
and/or distributable reserves are sufficient under Luxembourg law.
|
|
The DGCL permits a corporation to declare and pay dividends out of statutory surplus or, if there is no surplus, out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or for the preceding
fiscal year as long as the amount of capital of the corporation following the declaration and payment of the dividend is not less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a
preference upon the distribution of assets.
|
|
|
Luxembourg:
|
|
Delaware:
|
|
|
Under Luxembourg law, the amount of a distribution paid to shareholders (including in the form of dividends or share premium reimbursements) may not
exceed the amount of the profits at the end of the last financial year plus any profits carried forward and any amounts drawn from reserves that are available for that purpose, less any losses carried forward and sums to be placed in
reserve in accordance with Luxembourg law or our amended and restated articles of association.
Furthermore, no distributions (including in the form of dividends or share premium reimbursements) may be made if net assets were, at the end of the last financial year (or would become, following such a
distribution), less than the amount of the subscribed share capital plus the non-distributable reserves. Distributions in the form of dividends may only be made out of net profits and profits carried forward, whereas distributions in the form
of share premium reimbursements may only be made out of available share premium and distributions in the form of capital surplus reimbursements may only be made out of capital surplus.
Under Luxembourg law, at least 5% of our net profits per year must be allocated to the creation of a legal reserve until such reserve has reached an amount equal to 10%
of our issued share capital. The allocation to the legal reserve becomes compulsory again when the legal reserve no longer represents 10% of our issued share capital. The legal reserve is not available for distribution.
|
|
|
|
|
Repurchases and Redemptions
|
|
||
|
Pursuant to Luxembourg law, we (or any party acting on our behalf) may repurchase our own shares and hold them in treasury, provided that:
• the shareholders at a general meeting have previously authorized our board of directors to acquire
our ordinary shares. The general meeting shall determine the terms and conditions of the proposed repurchase and in particular the maximum number of ordinary shares to be acquired, the period for which the authorization is given (which may
not exceed five years), and, in the case of repurchase for consideration, the maximum and minimum consideration, provided that the prior authorization shall not apply in the case of ordinary shares acquired by either us or by a person acting
in its own name but on our behalf for the distribution thereof to our staff or to the staff of a company with which we are in a control relationship;
|
|
Under the DGCL, any corporation may purchase or redeem its own shares, except that generally it may not purchase or redeem these shares if the capital of the corporation is impaired at the time or would become
impaired as a result of the redemption. A corporation may, however, purchase or redeem out of capital shares that are entitled upon any distribution of its assets to a preference over another class or series of its shares if the shares are to
be retired and the capital reduced.
|
|
|
Luxembourg:
|
|
Delaware:
|
|
|
• the acquisitions, including ordinary shares previously acquired by us and held by us and shares
acquired by a person acting in his or her own name but on our behalf, may not have the effect of reducing the net assets below the amount of the issued share capital plus the reserves (which may not be distributed by law or under the articles
of association);
• the ordinary shares repurchased are fully paid-up; and
• the acquisition offer must be made on the same terms and conditions to all the shareholders who are
in the same position, except for acquisitions which were unanimously decided by a general meeting at which all the shareholders were present or represented (and except for acquisitions made on Nasdaq).
No prior authorization by shareholders is required (i) if the acquisition is made to prevent serious and imminent harm to us, provided that the board of directors
informs the next general meeting of the reasons for and the purpose of the acquisitions made, the number and nominal values or the accounting value of the ordinary shares acquired, the proportion of the subscribed capital which they
represent, and the consideration paid for them, and (ii) in the case of ordinary shares acquired by either us or by a person acting on our behalf with a view to redistributing the ordinary shares to our staff or its controlled subsidiaries,
provided that the distribution of such shares is made within 12 months from their acquisition.
Luxembourg law provides for further situations in which the above conditions do not apply, including the acquisition of shares pursuant to a decision to reduce our
capital or the acquisition of shares issued as redeemable shares. Such acquisitions may not have the effect of reducing net assets below the aggregate of subscribed capital and reserves (which may not be distributed by law and are subject to
specific provisions on reductions in capital and redeemable shares under Luxembourg law).
Any shares acquired in contravention of the above provisions must be resold within a period of one year after the acquisition or be cancelled at the expiration of the
one-year period.
|
|
|
|
|
As long as shares are held in treasury, the voting rights attached thereto are suspended. Further, to the extent the treasury shares are reflected as
assets on our balance sheet a non-distributable reserve of the same amount must be reflected as a liability. Our amended and restated articles of association provide that shares may be acquired in accordance with the law.

Transactions with Officers or Directors
|
|
||
|
There are no rules under Luxembourg law preventing a director from entering into contracts or transactions with us to the extent the contract or the transaction is in
our corporate interest.
Luxembourg law prohibits a director from participating in deliberations and voting on a transaction if (i) such director has a direct or indirect financial interest
therein, and (ii) the interests of such director or conflict with our interests. The relevant director must disclose his or her personal financial interest to the members of the board of directors and abstain from voting. The transaction and
the director’s interest therein shall be reported to the next succeeding general meeting of shareholders.
Our amended and restated articles of association may require that certain transactions between a director and us be submitted for approval by our
board of directors and/or shareholders. Our amended and restated articles of association provide that no director, solely as a result of being a director, shall have any duty to refrain from any decision or action to enforce its rights under
any agreement or contract with us. A director who has an interest in a transaction carried out other than in the ordinary course of business that conflicts with our interests must advise the board of directors accordingly and have the
statement recorded in the minutes of the meeting. The director concerned may not take part in the deliberations concerning that transaction. A special report on the relevant transaction is submitted to the shareholders at the next general
meeting of shareholders, before any vote on the matter.
|
|
Under the DGCL, some contracts or transactions in which one or more of a corporation’s directors has an interest are not void or voidable because of such interest, provided that some conditions, such as obtaining
the required approval and fulfilling the requirements of good faith and full disclosure, are met. Under the DGCL, either (i) the shareholders or the board of directors must approve in good faith any such contract or transaction after full
disclosure of the material facts, or (ii) the contract or transaction must have been “fair” as to the corporation at the time it was approved. If the board of directors’ approval is sought, the contract or transaction must be approved in good
faith by a majority of disinterested directors after full disclosure of material facts, even though less than a majority of a quorum.

Fiduciary Duties of Directors
|
|
||
|
The board of directors must act as a collegial body in the corporate interest of a company and has the power to take any action necessary or useful to realize the
corporate objects of a company, with the exception of the powers reserved by Luxembourg law or by the articles of association to the general meeting of shareholders. Luxembourg law imposes a duty on directors of a Luxembourg company to: (i)
act in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company; and (ii) exercise the care, diligence, and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in a similar position and under comparable circumstances. The standard of
care required from directors in the execution of their mandate vis-à-vis the company is the standard that an ordinary prudent or reasonable person would apply to his or her own affairs. The standard of care is more onerous where a director
has special skills or where such director receives remuneration for his or her office.
In addition, Luxembourg law imposes specific duties on directors and officers of a company to comply with Luxembourg law and the articles of association of a company.
|
|
Under the DGCL, except as otherwise provided in a company’s certificate of incorporation, the board of directors of a Delaware company bears the ultimate responsibility for managing the business and affairs of a
corporation. In discharging this function, directors of a Delaware company owe fiduciary duties of care and loyalty to a company and its shareholders. Delaware courts have decided that the directors of a Delaware company are required to
exercise an informed business judgment in the performance of their duties. An informed business judgment means that the directors have informed themselves of all material information reasonably available to them. Delaware courts have also
subjected directors’ actions to enhanced scrutiny in certain situations, including if directors take certain actions intended to prevent a threatened change in control of a company or in connection with transactions involving a conflicted
controlling shareholder. In addition, under Delaware law, when the board of directors of a Delaware corporation determines to sell or break-up a corporation, the board of directors may, in certain circumstances, have a duty to obtain the
highest value reasonably available to the shareholders at that time.
|
|
|
Dissenters’ Rights
|
|
||
|
Neither Luxembourg law nor our amended and restated articles of association provide for appraisal rights.
|
|
Under the DGCL, a shareholder of a corporation participating in some types of major corporate transactions may, under varying circumstances, be entitled to appraisal rights pursuant to which the shareholder may
receive cash in the amount of the fair market value of his or her shares in lieu of the consideration he or she would otherwise receive in the transaction.
|
|
|
Shareholder Suits
|
|
||
|
Under Luxembourg law, the board of directors has sole authority to decide whether to initiate legal action to enforce a company’s rights (other than, in certain
circumstances, an action against board members).
Shareholders do not have the authority to initiate legal action on a company’s behalf. Shareholders and/or future holders of beneficiary certificates holding at least
10.0% of the securities of a company having a right to vote at the general meeting may bring an action against the directors on behalf of the company.
This provision of Luxembourg law does not apply to claims under the U.S. federal securities laws.
|
|
Under Delaware law, a shareholder may bring a derivative action on a company’s behalf to enforce the rights of a company. An individual also may commence a class action lawsuit on behalf of himself or herself and
other similarly situated shareholders if the requirements for maintaining a class action lawsuit under Delaware law are met. An individual may institute and maintain a class action lawsuit only if such person was a shareholder at the time of
the transaction that is the subject of the lawsuit or his or her shares thereafter devolved upon him or her by operation of law. In addition, the plaintiff must generally be a shareholder through the duration of the lawsuit.
|
|
|
Luxembourg:
|
|
Delaware:
|
|
|
Luxembourg law does not provide for class action lawsuits.
|
|
Delaware law requires that a derivative plaintiff make a demand on the directors of the corporation to assert the corporate claim before the lawsuit may be prosecuted, unless such demand would be futile.
|
|
|
Cumulative Voting
|
|
||
|
Not applicable.
|
|
Under the DGCL, a corporation may adopt in its bylaws that its directors shall be elected by cumulative voting. When directors are elected by cumulative voting, a shareholder has a number of votes equal to the
number of shares held by such shareholder times the number of directors nominated for election. The shareholder may cast all of such votes for one director or among the directors in any proportion.
|
|
|
Anti-Takeover Measures
|
|
||
|
Pursuant to Luxembourg law, it is possible to create an authorized share capital from which the board of directors is authorized by the shareholders to
issue further ordinary shares and, under certain conditions, to limit, restrict, or waive preferential subscription rights of existing shareholders. The rights attached to the shares issued within the authorized share capital will be equal
to those attached to existing shares and set forth in our amended and restated articles of association.
The authority of the board of directors to issue additional ordinary shares is valid for a period of up to five years starting from the date of the publication of the
minutes of the extraordinary general meeting resolving upon such authorization in the Luxembourg official gazette (Mémorial C, Recueil des Sociétés et Associations, or Recueil Electronique des Sociétés et Associations,
as applicable), unless renewed by vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the votes cast at a shareholders meeting.
|
|
Under the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation of a corporation may give the board of directors the right to issue new classes of preferred shares with voting,
conversion, dividend distribution, and other rights to be determined by the board of directors at the time of issuance, which could prevent a takeover attempt and thereby preclude shareholders from realizing a potential premium over the
market value of their shares.
In addition, Delaware law does not prohibit a corporation from adopting a shareholder rights plan, or “poison pill,” which could prevent a takeover attempt and also
preclude shareholders from realizing a potential premium over the market value of their shares.
|
|
|
Our amended and restated articles of association authorize our board of directors to issue ordinary shares within the limits of the authorized
share capital at such times and on such terms as our board of directors or its delegates may decide for a period ending five years after November 10, 2020 (unless such period is extended, amended or renewed). Accordingly, our board of
directors will be authorized to issue ordinary shares up to the limits of authorized share capital until such date. We currently intend to seek renewals and/or extensions as required from time to time.
