Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Talend S.A., a société anonyme organized under the laws of France (the
“Company”), proposes, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, to
issue and sell to the purchasers named in Schedule I hereto (the “Purchasers”),
for whom Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Citigroup Global
Markets Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC are acting as representatives (“you”
or the “Representatives”), an aggregate of €125,000,000 principal amount of its
1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Firm Securities”), convertible
into a cash amount in euros, ordinary shares of the Company to be delivered in
the form of American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) each representing one of the
Company’s ordinary shares, nominal value €0.08 per share (“Underlying Shares”),
or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. The Company also proposes
to issue and sell to the Purchasers up to an additional €18,750,000 aggregate
principal amount of its 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Optional
Securities” and, together with the Firm Securities, the “Securities”), as set
forth in Section 2.

 

 

 

 

The ADSs that may be issued to holders of Securities upon the deposit of any
Underlying Shares by the Company upon conversion of the Securities will be
evidenced by American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) to be issued, as applicable,
pursuant to a Deposit Agreement, dated as of July 28, 2016 (the “Unrestricted
Deposit Agreement”) or pursuant to a Restricted Issuance Agreement, to be dated
as of September 13, 2019 (the “RIA” and, together with the Unrestricted Deposit
Agreement, the “Deposit Agreement”), each among the Company and JPMorgan Chase
Bank, N.A., as depositary (the “Depositary”), and the holders and beneficial
owners from time to time of the ADRs.

 

The Securities will initially be issued in book-entry form and sold in reliance
on Rule 144A under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Act”) and will be issued to a common depository for the accounts of Euroclear
Bank S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme
(“Clearstream”).

 

1.     The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each of the
Purchasers that:

 

(a)      A preliminary offering circular dated September 4, 2019 (the
“Preliminary Offering Circular”) and an offering circular dated September 5,
2019 (the “Offering Circular”) have been prepared in connection with the
offering of the Securities and the ADSs issuable upon the deposit of any
Underlying Shares issued upon conversion of the Securities. The Preliminary
Offering Circular, as amended and supplemented immediately prior to the
Applicable Time (as defined in Section 1(b)), is hereinafter referred to as the
“Pricing Circular”. Any reference to the Preliminary Offering Circular, the
Pricing Circular or the Offering Circular, as the case may be, shall be deemed
to refer to and include all documents filed with the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c) or
15(d) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”), on or prior to the date of such circular and incorporated by
reference therein and any reference to the Preliminary Offering Circular or the
Offering Circular, as the case may be, as amended or supplemented, as of any
specified date, shall be deemed to include (i) any documents filed with the
Commission pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after
the date of the Preliminary Offering Circular or the Offering Circular, as the

Information (as defined in Section 5(g)) furnished by the Company prior to the
completion of the distribution of the Securities; and all documents filed under
the Exchange Act and so deemed to be included in the Preliminary Offering
Circular, the Pricing Circular or the Offering Circular, as the case may be, or
any amendment or supplement thereto are hereinafter called the “Exchange Act
Reports” (provided that where only sections of such documents are specifically
incorporated by reference, only such sections shall be considered to be part of
the “Exchange Act Reports”). The Exchange Act Reports, when they were or are
filed with the Commission, conformed or will conform in all material respects to
the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and
regulations of the Commission thereunder. The Preliminary Offering Circular or
the Offering Circular and any amendments or supplements thereto and the Exchange
Act Reports did not and will not, as of their respective dates, contain an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary
in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that this
representation and warranty shall not apply to any statements or omissions made
in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the
Company by a Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for use therein;

Supplemental Disclosure Document (as defined in Section 6(a)) listed on Schedule

information contained in the Pricing Circular or the Offering Circular and each
such Company Supplemental Disclosure Document and Permitted General Solicitation
Material, as supplemented by and taken together with the Pricing Disclosure
Package as of the Applicable Time, did not include any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
made, not misleading; provided, however, that this representation and warranty
shall not apply to statements or omissions made in the Pricing Disclosure
Package, a Company Supplemental Disclosure Document or any Permitted General
Solicitation Material in reliance upon and in conformity with information
furnished in writing to the Company by a Purchaser through the Representatives
expressly for use therein;

 

(c)      Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has sustained since the

Adverse Effect, and each “Significant Subsidiary” (which shall be defined for

reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with

executive officer and principal financial officer by others within those
entities; and the Company has carried out evaluations of the effectiveness of
its disclosure controls and procedures as required by Rule 13a-15 of the
Exchange Act and such disclosure controls and procedures are effective;

 

(x)      The financial statements, including the notes thereto, and the
supporting schedules included in the Pricing Circular and the Offering Circular
present fairly in all material respects the financial position at the dates
indicated therein and the cash flows and results of operations for the periods
indicated therein of the Company and its subsidiaries; except as otherwise
stated in the Pricing Circular and the Offering Circular, such financial
statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP applied on a
consistent basis throughout the periods involved; and the supporting schedules,
if any, included in the Pricing Circular and the Offering Circular present

material respects the information included therein; except as included therein,
no other historical or pro forma financial statements or supporting schedules
are required to be included in any documents incorporated by reference in the
Pricing Disclosure Package and the Offering Circular; all other financial and

Securities set forth opposite the name of such Purchaser in Schedule I hereto,
and (b) in the event and to the extent that the Representatives on behalf of the
Purchasers shall exercise the election to purchase Optional Securities as
provided below, the Company agrees to issue and sell to each of the Purchasers,
and each of the Purchasers agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from
the Company, at the purchase price set forth in clause (a) of this Section 2,
that portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Optional Securities as to
which such election shall have been exercised (to be adjusted by the
Representatives so as to eliminate fractions of €1,000), determined by
multiplying such aggregate principal amount of Optional Securities by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the maximum aggregate principal amount of
Optional Securities that such Purchaser is entitled to purchase as set forth
opposite the name of such Purchaser in Schedule I hereto and the denominator of
which is the maximum aggregate principal amount of Optional Securities that all
of the Purchasers are entitled to purchase hereunder.

Representatives on behalf of the Purchasers to the Company, setting forth the
aggregate principal amount of Optional Securities to be purchased and the date
on which such Optional Securities are to be delivered, as determined by the
Representatives but in no event earlier than the first Time of Delivery (as
defined below) or, unless the Representatives and the Company otherwise agree in

Euroclear, and Clearstream, or a nominee of such depository. Beneficial
interests in any of the notes will be shown on, and transfers will be effected
only through, records maintained by Euroclear and Clearstream and their
participants and any such interest may not be exchanged for certificated
securities, except in limited circumstances. The Company will deliver the
Securities to the Representatives, for the account of each Purchaser, against
payment by or on behalf of such Purchaser of the purchase price therefor by wire
transfer in Federal (same day) funds, by causing Euroclear or Clearstream, as
applicable, to credit the Securities to an account designated by the
Representatives at Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable,. The Company will
cause the global notes representing the Securities to be made available to the
Representatives for checking at least twenty-four hours prior to each Time of

and with respect to the Optional Securities, 9:00 a.m. London time, on the date
specified by the Representatives in the written notice given by the
Representatives of the Purchasers’ election to purchase such Optional
Securities, or such other time and date as the Representatives and the Company
may agree upon in writing; provided, however, that such delivery date must be at
least three New York Business Days (as defined below) after such written notice
is given and may not be earlier than the first Time of Delivery nor later than
ten New York Business Days (as defined below) after the date of such notice;
provided further, that solely with respect to an Optional Securities written
notice that is delivered prior to the first Time of Delivery, the related Time
of Delivery (as defined below) must be at least one New York Business Day after
the written notice is given. Such time and date are herein called the “Time of
Delivery”.

of the Representatives, it and its affiliates and any other person acting on its
or their behalf (other than the Purchasers, as to which no statement is given)
(i) have not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that,

“Purchaser Supplemental Disclosure Document”).

 

(c)      Any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document, Purchaser Supplemental
Disclosure Document or Permitted General Solicitation Material, the use of which
has been consented to by the Company and the Representatives, is listed as
applicable on Schedule II(a), Schedule II(b) or Schedule II(c) hereto,

8.        The obligations of the Purchasers hereunder, as to the Securities to

prospective material adverse change, in or affecting the general affairs,
management, properties, financial position, shareholders’ equity, results of
operations or prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
otherwise than as set forth or contemplated in the Pricing Circular and the
Offering Circular, the effect of which, in any such case described in clause (i)
or (ii), is in your judgment, so material and adverse as to make it
impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or the delivery of the
Securities being delivered at such Time of Delivery on the terms and in the
manner contemplated in this Agreement and each of the Pricing Disclosure Package
and the Offering Circular;

 

 20 

 

 

(g)      On or after the Applicable Time there shall not have occurred any of
the following: (i) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities
generally on the Exchange; (ii) a suspension or material limitation in trading
in the Company’s securities on the Exchange; (iii) a general moratorium on

escalation of hostilities involving the United States or the declaration by the
United States of a national emergency or war or (v) the occurrence of any other
calamity or crisis or any change in financial, political or economic conditions
in the United States or elsewhere, if the effect of any such event specified in
clause (iv) or (v) in your judgment makes it impracticable or inadvisable to
proceed with the offering or the delivery of the Securities being delivered at
such Time of Delivery on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Pricing
Disclosure Package and the Offering Circular;

 

(h)      The ADSs issuable upon deposit of any Underlying Shares issued upon

and the Company shall have furnished or caused to be furnished certificates as
to the matters set forth in subsections (a) and (f) of this Section 8;

 21 

 

 

9.    (a)       The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser,
together with its partners, members, directors, officers, affiliates and each
person, if any, who controls such Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages
or liabilities, joint or several, to which such person may become subject, under
the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary
Offering Circular, the Pricing Circular, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the
Offering Circular, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Company
Supplemental Disclosure Document, or any Permitted General Solicitation Material
or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
and will reimburse each such person for any documented legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with investigating or defending
any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such
loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in
the Preliminary Offering Circular, the Pricing Circular, the Pricing Disclosure
Package, the Offering Circular or any such amendment or supplement, any Company
Supplemental Disclosure Document or any Permitted General Solicitation Material
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by any Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for use therein.

 

(b)      Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, together with its partners, members, directors, officers,
affiliates and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under
the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary
Offering Circular, the Pricing Circular, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the
Offering Circular, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Company
Supplemental Disclosure Document, or any Permitted General Solicitation Material
or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the
Preliminary Offering Circular, the Pricing Circular, the Pricing Disclosure
Package, the Offering Circular or any such amendment or supplement, any Company
Supplemental Disclosure Document or any Permitted General Solicitation Material
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the
Company by such Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for use therein;
and each Purchaser will reimburse the Company for any documented legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or
defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

 

 22 

 

 

(c)      Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or
(b) of this Section 9 of notice of the commencement of any action, such
indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in
writing of the commencement thereof; provided that the failure to notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have
under paragraph (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been
materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses)
by such failure; and provided further, that the omission so to notify the
indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to
any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such
action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be
entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly
with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense
thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who
shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the
indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such
indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the
indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such
subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel (other than local counsel) or
any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified
party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of
investigation, except, in any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have
the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii)
the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iii) the indemnified party
shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it
that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying
party; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded
parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and
representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to
actual or potential differing interest between them. The indemnifying party
shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its
written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final
judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify each
indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such
settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time
an indemnified party shall have requested that an indemnifying party reimburse
the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this
paragraph, the indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is
entered into more than 60 days after receipt by the indemnifying party of such
request and (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the
indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such
settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the
indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the
entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim
in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder
(whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such
action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an
unconditional release of the indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party, from all liability arising out of such
action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of
fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified
party.

 

 23 

 

 

(d)      If the indemnification provided for in Section 9 (a) or (b) is
unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each
relevant indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) above shall contribute
to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the
Company on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other from the offering or
sale, as applicable, of Securities. If, however, the allocation provided by the
immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the
indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above,
then each relevant indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) above shall
contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also
the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Purchasers on the
other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received
by the Company on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other shall be deemed
to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering or
sale, as applicable, of Securities (net of any initial purchaser discounts and
commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the
total initial purchaser discounts and commissions received by the Purchasers, as
set forth in the table on the cover page of the Offering Circular. The relative
fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the
untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company
on the one hand or the Purchasers on the other and the parties’ relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission. The Company and the Purchasers agree that it would not be
just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were
determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchasers were treated as one
entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not
take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this
subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result
of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this subsection (d), no Purchaser shall be required to contribute
any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the
Securities underwritten by it and distributed to investors were offered to
investors exceeds the amount of any damages which such Purchaser has otherwise
been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The Purchasers’ obligations in this subsection (d) to
contribute are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations
and not joint.

 

(e)      The obligations of the Company under this Section 9 shall be in
addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend,
upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of each
Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls any Purchaser within the meaning
of the Act and each broker-dealer affiliate of each Purchaser; and the
obligations of the Purchasers under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any
liability which the respective Purchasers may otherwise have and shall extend,
upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company
and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the
Act.

 

10.      (a)   If any Purchaser shall default in its obligation to purchase the
Securities that it has agreed to purchase hereunder at the Time of Delivery, you
may in your discretion arrange for you or another party or other parties to
purchase such Securities on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six
hours after such default by any Purchaser you do not arrange for the purchase of
such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of
thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties
satisfactory to you to purchase such Securities on such terms. In the event
that, within the respective prescribed periods, you notify the Company that you
have so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, or the Company notifies
you that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, you or the
Company shall have the right to postpone the Time of Delivery for a period of
not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be
made necessary in the Offering Circular, or in any other documents or
arrangements, and the Company agrees to prepare promptly any amendments or
supplements to the Offering Circular which in your opinion may thereby be made
necessary. The term “Purchaser” as used in this Agreement shall include any
person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had
originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Securities.

 

 24 

 

 

(b)   If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the
Securities of a defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers by you and the Company as
provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such
Securities which remains unpurchased does not exceed one eleventh of the
aggregate principal amount of all the Securities, then the Company shall have
the right to require each non-defaulting Purchaser to purchase the principal
amount of Securities which such Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder and, in
addition, to require each non-defaulting Purchaser to purchase its pro rata
share (based on the principal amount of Securities which such Purchaser agreed
to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Purchaser or
Purchasers for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein
shall relieve a defaulting Purchaser from liability for its default.

 

If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities
of a defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers by you and the Company as provided in
subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of Securities which remains
unpurchased exceeds one eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the
Securities, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in
subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Purchasers to purchase Securities
of a defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers, then this Agreement shall thereupon
terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Purchaser or the
Company, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company and the Purchasers
as provided in Section 7 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in
Section 9 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Purchaser from
liability for its default.

 

11.      The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, agreements,
representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the several
Purchasers, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them,
respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect,
regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof)
made by or on behalf of any Purchaser or any controlling person of any
Purchaser, or the Company, or any officer or director or controlling person of
the Company, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.

 

12.      If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof,
the Company shall not then be under any liability to any Purchaser except as
provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof; but, if for any other reason (other than
those set forth in clauses (i), (iii), (iv) or (v) of Section 8(g)) any
Securities are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as provided herein,
the Company will reimburse the Purchasers for all out-of-pocket expenses,
including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the
Purchasers in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the
Securities not so delivered, but the Company shall then be under no further
liability to any Purchaser except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof.

 

13.      In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III
of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), each Purchaser is
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies its clients,
including the Company, which information may include the name and address of
their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow such
Purchaser to properly identify its clients.

 

All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing,
and if to the Purchasers shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile
transmission to: you as the Representatives in care of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC,

other address as such shareholder provides in writing to the Company; provided,
however, that any notice to a Purchaser pursuant to Section 9(c) hereof shall be
delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the Purchaser at
its address set forth in its Purchaser’s questionnaire or telex constituting
such questionnaire, which address will be supplied to the Company by you on
request. Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect
upon receipt thereof.

14.      This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit
of, the Purchasers, the Company and, to the extent provided in Sections 9 and 11
hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and each person who controls
the Company or any Purchaser, and their respective heirs, executors,
administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or
have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the
Securities from any Purchaser shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason
merely of such purchase.

 

15.      Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. As used herein, the
term “business day” shall mean any day when the Commission’s office in
Washington, D.C. is open for business.

 

16.      The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) the purchase and sale of
the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial
transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the several Purchasers, on
the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such
transaction each Purchaser is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or
fiduciary of the Company, (iii) no Purchaser has assumed an advisory or
fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the offering
contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such
Purchaser has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) or
any other obligation to the Company except the obligations expressly set forth
in this Agreement and (iv) the Company has consulted its own legal and financial
advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Company agrees that it will
not claim that any Purchaser has rendered advisory services of any nature or
respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, in connection with
such transaction or the process leading thereto.

 

17.      This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings
(whether written or oral) between the Company and the Purchasers, or any of
them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

 

18.      (a)      THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY MATTERS RELATED TO THIS TRANSACTION
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS THAT WOULD RESULT IN
THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The
parties hereto agree that any suit or proceeding arising in respect of this
agreement or our engagement will be tried exclusively in the U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of New York or, if that court does not have subject
matter jurisdiction, in any state court located in The City and County of New
York and the parties hereto agree to submit to the jurisdiction of, and to venue
in, such courts.

 

(b)     In connection with this Agreement, the Company has irrevocably appointed
Talend, Inc. as its authorized agent in the city of New York upon which process
may be served in any such suit or proceeding, and the Company agrees that
service of process upon such agent, and written notice of said service to the
Company by the person serving the same to the address provided in Section 13,
shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company
in any such suit or proceeding. The Company further agrees to take any and all
action as may be necessary to maintain such designation and appointment of such
agent in full force and effect for a period of seven years from the date of this
Agreement.

 

 26 

 

 

19.      Each of the Company and each of the Purchasers hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to
trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

20.      To the extent that the Company or any of its properties, assets or
revenues is or may hereafter become entitled to, or have attributed to them, any
right of immunity, on the grounds of sovereignty, from any legal action, suit or
proceeding, from set-off or counterclaim, from the jurisdiction of any court,
from service of process, from attachment upon or prior to judgment, or from
attachment in aid of execution of judgment, or from execution of judgment, or
other legal process or proceeding for the giving of any relief or for the
enforcement of any judgment, in any jurisdiction in which proceedings may at any
time be commenced, with respect to its obligations, liabilities or any other
matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the
Deposit Agreement, the Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, waives and agrees not to plead or claim any
such immunity and consents to such relief and enforcement.

 

21.      All payments by the Company to the Purchasers hereunder shall be made
free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of,
any and all present and future stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties,
charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereinafter imposed, levied,
collected, withheld or assessed by any jurisdiction in which the Company is
organized, resident, doing business or has an office from which payment is made
or deemed to be made, excluding any such tax imposed by reason of a Purchaser
having some connection with the taxing jurisdiction other than its participation
as a Purchaser hereunder (including, if applicable, any income or franchise tax
on the overall net income of the Purchaser imposed by the United States or by
the State of New York or any political subdivision of the United States or of
the State of New York) (all such non-excluded taxes, “Foreign Taxes”). If the
Company is prevented by operation of law or otherwise from paying, causing to be
paid or remitting that portion of amounts payable hereunder represented by
Foreign Taxes withheld or deducted, then amounts payable under this Agreement
shall, to the extent permitted by law, be increased to such amount as is
necessary to yield and remit to a Purchaser an amount which, after deduction of
all Foreign Taxes (including all Foreign Taxes payable on such increased
payments) equals the amount that would have been payable if no Foreign Taxes
applied.

 

22.      The Company agrees to indemnify the Purchasers against any loss
incurred by the Purchasers as a result of any judgment or order being given or
made against the Company for any amount due hereunder (the “PA Obligation”) and
such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a currency (the “Judgment
Currency”) other than the currency in which the PA Obligation is due (the “PA
Obligation Currency”) and as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate
of exchange at which the PA Obligation Currency amount is converted into the
Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the rate
of exchange in The City of New York at which such party on the date of payment
of such judgment or order is able to purchase PA Obligation Currency with the
amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by such party if such party
had utilized such amount of Judgment Currency to purchase PA Obligation Currency
as promptly as practicable upon such party’s receipt thereof. The foregoing
indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Company,
shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or
order as aforesaid. If the PA Obligation Currency so purchased is greater than
the sum originally due to the Purchasers hereunder, the Purchasers agree to pay
to the Company an amount equal to the excess of the PA Obligation Currency so
purchased over the sum originally due to the Purchasers hereunder. The term
“rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in
connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the relevant currency.

 

 27 

 

 

23.      This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto
in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original,
but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

 

24.      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company are
authorized to disclose to any persons the U.S. federal and state income tax
treatment and tax structure of the potential transaction and all materials of
any kind (including tax opinions and other tax analyses) provided to the Company
relating to that treatment and structure, without the Purchasers’ imposing any
limitation of any kind. However, any information relating to the tax treatment
and tax structure shall remain confidential (and the foregoing sentence shall
not apply) to the extent necessary to enable any person to comply with
securities laws. For this purpose, “tax treatment” means US federal and state
income tax treatment and “tax structure” is limited to any facts that may be
relevant to that treatment.

 

25.      Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

 

(a)      In the event that any Purchaser that is a Covered Entity becomes
subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer
from such Purchaser of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or
under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would
be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any
such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or
a state of the United States.

 

(b)      In the event that any Purchaser that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act
Affiliate of such Purchaser becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special
Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised
against such Purchaser are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than
such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime
if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of
the United States.

The information in this pricing term sheet supplements Talend S.A.’s preliminary
offering circular, dated September 4, 2019 (the “Preliminary Offering
Circular”), and supersedes the information in the Preliminary Offering Circular
to the extent inconsistent with the information in the Preliminary Offering
Circular. In all other respects, this pricing term sheet is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Preliminary Offering Circular, including all
documents incorporated by reference therein. Terms used herein but not defined
herein shall have the respective meanings as set forth in the Preliminary
Offering Circular.

 

Issuer: Talend S.A., a société anonyme organized under the laws of France (the
“Issuer”).     ADSs: The Issuer’s American Depositary Shares, each representing
as of the date of this pricing term sheet, one ordinary share, nominal value
€0.08 per share (an “ordinary share”).     Ticker/Exchange for ADSs: “TLND”/the

ADSs per €1,000 principal amount of notes (corresponding to 19.3234 ordinary
shares per €1,000 principal amount of notes as of the date of this pricing term
sheet), calculated on the basis of the closing price of the ADSs on Nasdaq on
September 5, 2019 converted into euros at the currency conversion rate.    
Initial Conversion Price: Approximately €51.75 per ADS (corresponding to €51.75
per ordinary share as of the date of this pricing term sheet).     Conversion

the notes for a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the
notes to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest, including any
additional amounts, up to, but excluding, the redemption date. Upon the giving a
notice of redemption in the event of certain changes to the laws governing a
relevant taxing jurisdiction, a holder may elect not to have its notes redeemed,
in which case such holder would not be entitled to receive the additional
amounts referred to in “Description of Notes — Additional Amounts” section of
the Preliminary Offering Circular after the redemption date.     Optional
Redemption Other than in connection with a tax redemption, the Issuer may not
redeem the notes prior to September 6, 2022. On or after September 6, 2022, the
Issuer may redeem for cash all or any portion of the notes, at its option, if
the last reported sale price of the ADSs (converted into euros at the Bloomberg

(whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period
(including the last trading day of such period) ending and including the trading
day immediately preceding the date on which the Issuer provides notice of
redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the
notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding,
the redemption date. No “sinking fund” is provided for the notes, which means
that the Issuer is not required to redeem or retire the notes periodically.

The exact ADS prices and effective dates or redemption notice dates may not be
set forth in the table above, in which case:

 

·If the ADS price is between two ADS prices in the table or the effective date
or redemption notice date, as the case may be, is between two effective dates or
redemption notice dates, as applicable, in the table, the number of additional
ADSs by which the conversion rate for the notes will be increased will be
determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of additional ADS
set forth for the higher and lower ADS prices and the earlier and later
effective dates or redemption notice dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day
year.

 

 

 

·If the ADS price is greater than €200.0000 per ADS (subject to adjustment in
the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the column headings of the
table above as described in the Preliminary Offering Circular), no additional
ADSs will be added to the conversion rate for the notes.

 

·If the ADS price is less than €35.0852 per ADS (subject to adjustment in the
same manner as the ADS prices set forth in the column headings of the table
above as described in the Preliminary Offering Circular), no additional ADSs
will be added to the conversion rate for the notes.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the conversion rate per €1,000
principal amount of notes exceed 28.5020 ADSs (corresponding on the date of this
pricing term sheet to 28.5020 ordinary shares as of the date of this pricing
term sheet), subject to adjustment in the same manner as the conversion rate as
set forth under “Description of Notes—Conversion Rights—Conversion Rate
Adjustments” in the Preliminary Offering Circular.

Re: Talend S.A. - Lock-Up Agreement

The undersigned understands that Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities
LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (the

the period specified in the following paragraph (the “Lock-Up Period”), the
undersigned will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to
purchase, make any short sale, file a registration statement under the

Company that are substantially similar to ADSs or Underlying Shares, in cash or
otherwise, nor publicly disclose the intention to offer, sell, contract to sell,
pledge, grant any option to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell,
grant any right or warrant to purchase, make any short sale, file a registration
statement under the Securities Act, or otherwise dispose of any ADSs or
Underlying Shares, or any options or warrants to purchase any ADSs or Underlying
Shares, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent
the right to receive ADSs or Underlying Shares, whether now owned or hereinafter
acquired, owned directly by the undersigned (including holding as a custodian)
or with respect to which the undersigned has beneficial ownership within the
rules and regulations of the SEC (collectively the “Undersigned’s Shares”),
other than any Securities sold or ADS issuable upon the conversion of the
Securities pursuant to the Offering as contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or
as otherwise provided herein. The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to
preclude the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which
is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a
sale or disposition of the Undersigned’s Shares even if the Undersigned’s Shares
would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned. Such prohibited
hedging or other transactions would include without limitation any short sale or
any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including without limitation any put
or call option) with respect to any of the Undersigned’s Shares or with respect
to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of
its value from the Undersigned’s Shares.

 

The initial Lock-Up Period will commence on the date of this Lock-Up Agreement

trust or such beneficiary agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set
forth herein, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a
disposition for value,

 

   

 

 

(iv) if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability

undersigned, or to any investment fund or other entity controlling, controlled
by, managing or managed by or under common control with the undersigned or
affiliates of the undersigned (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where the
undersigned is a partnership, to its general partner or a successor partnership
or fund, or any other funds managed by such partnership), provided that any such
transfer shall not involve a disposition for value or (B) as part of a
distribution without consideration by the undersigned to its stockholders,
partners, members or other equity holders, provided that in the case of any
transfer contemplated in (A) or (B) above, it shall be a condition to the
transfer that (x) each transferee executes an agreement stating that the
transferee is receiving and holding such capital stock subject to the provisions
of this Lock-Up Agreement and (y) there shall be no further transfer of such
capital stock except in accordance with this Lock-Up Agreement,

completed, the Undersigned’s Shares shall remain subject to the provisions of
this Lock-Up Agreement,

 

(vii) by operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic order or in
connection with a divorce settlement, provided that each such transferee
executes an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding such
capital stock subject to the provisions of this Lock-Up Agreement,

 

(viii) with the prior written consent of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan
Securities LLC,

options (options de souscription d’actions), warrants (bons de souscription
d’actions or bons de souscription de parts de créateur d’entreprise), free
shares (actions gratuites) (i.e., restricted stock units) or other equity awards
(including the transfer for the payment of taxes due as a result of such
exercise or settlement whether by means of a “net settlement” or otherwise)
pursuant to an employee benefit plan disclosed in the Offering Circular used for
the Offering; provided, that any such ordinary shares received upon such
exercise or settlement shall be subject to the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement;
provided further, that if the undersigned is subject to Section 16 reporting
with respect to the Company under the Exchange Act, any such exercise or
settlement relates solely to stock options (options de souscription d’actions),
warrants (bons de souscription d’actions or bons de souscription de parts de
créateur d’entreprise), free shares (actions gratuites) or other equity awards
that would otherwise expire during the Lock-Up Period, or

 

(b)       sell securities of the Company pursuant to a written plan meeting the
requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”) in effect as of the date hereof, so long as any
required public filing specifies that the sale or transfer was made pursuant to
such existing plan, or

 

   

 

 

(c)       enter into, amend or modify a written plan meeting the requirements of
Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act relating to the sale of securities of the
Company, provided that the securities subject to such plan may not be sold,
transferred, or otherwise disposed of during the Lock-Up Period (except, in the
case of an amendment or modification to such plan, with respect to any
securities of the Company originally subject to such plan prior to the amendment
or modification, and provided that the amendment or modification does not affect
the terms or conditions with respect to the transfer thereof) and no filings or
public disclosure (including, but not limited to, filings under the Section 16
of the Exchange Act) of any such action shall be required or shall be
voluntarily made by any person until after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period.

 

In addition, with respect to clauses (a)(i) through (vii) above, it shall be a
condition to such transfer that no public filing or disclosure (including, but
not limited to, filings under Section 16 of the Exchange Act) of such transfer
by any party shall be required or voluntarily made during the Lock-Up Period.
For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any
relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin.
The undersigned now has, and, except as contemplated by clause (a) above, for
the duration of this Lock-Up Agreement will have, good and marketable title to
the Undersigned’s Shares, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and claims
whatsoever. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop
transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against
the transfer of the Undersigned’s Shares except in compliance with the foregoing
restrictions.

 

[For the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged and agreed that Bpifrance
Investissement and any of its affiliates are not subject to this Lock-Up
Agreement.]

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Lock-Up
Agreement will automatically terminate and the undersigned will be released from
all obligations hereunder if the Purchase Agreement is executed but is
terminated (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) prior
to payment for and delivery of the Securities to be sold thereunder.

transmission, electronic mail, or otherwise by electronic transmission
evidencing an intent to sign this Lock-Up Agreement, such facsimile

as if such signature were an original. Execution and delivery of this Lock-Up
Agreement by facsimile transmission, electronic mail or other electronic

undersigned further understands that this Lock-Up Agreement is irrevocable and
shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives,
successors, and assigns. The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the
