 Preamble 
  

	(A)	 The Initial Shareholders are the sole shareholders of SSU as of the date of this Agreement. SSU is active in
the sports commerce and tech platform business focusing on the bike, tennis, outdoor and team sports sector. 


  

	(B)	 SSU intends to enter into a series of transactions (the “Business Combination”) with, among
other entities, Yucaipa, an entity which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), for purposes of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination as
further described under recital (J) below. 


  

	(C)	 On or around the date of this Agreement, SISH and SSU will enter into a business combination agreement with
Yucaipa and several other entities substantially in the form as attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “BCA”) setting forth the terms of the Business Combination. 



 

	(D)	 SIGNA Sport Online GmbH, SIGNA AppVentures GmbH, Tennis-Point GmbH and Score Invest SAS are, among others,
certain subsidiaries of SSU. The Minority Shareholders hold certain direct or, through SIGNA Beteiligung I UG (haftungsbeschränkt) & Co. KG as pooling vehicle (the “Pooling Vehicle”), indirect minority interests in such SSU
subsidiaries as set forth in Exhibit B (the “Minority Shareholdings”). Pursuant to certain agreements entered into by the Minority Shareholders with inter alios SISH and the Company (the “Roll-Up Agreements”) prior to the date hereof, the Minority Shareholders have agreed and undertaken, after signing of the BCA and prior to the Share Exchange, to contribute the Minority Shareholdings to SSU
against issuance of new shares in SSU to the Minority Shareholders by way of a capital increase in kind of the share capital of SSU (the “Roll-up”). Prior to such Roll-up, the Pooling Vehicle shall be dissolved and the Company Shares held by the Pooling Vehicle on behalf of the Minority Shareholders shall be transferred to the respective Minority Shareholders (the
“Dissolution”) and such transferred Company Shares will also be subject to the Roll-up. The Roll-up shall be completed after signing of the BCA and in
any event in advance of the Share Exchange. 


  

	(E)	 The Company, as borrower, entered into a EUR 50,000,000 convertible loan agreement with SISH, as original
lender, on 20 December 2019 (notarial roll of deeds no. 461/2019 by public notary Dr. Thorsten Reinhard, Frankfurt am Main) (the “SISH Convertible Loan Agreement”). Under a certain purchase and contractual assignment
agreement (Vertragsübernahme) dated 14 December 2020 (notarial roll of deeds no. 348/2020 by public notary Dr. Thorsten Reinhard, Frankfurt am Main), the SISH Convertible Loan Agreement was transferred and assigned from
SISH to BBL in a partial amount of EUR 10,000,000 (plus accrued interest) whereby BBL has the right 



  
 8 














	 	
to transfer its rights and obligations relating to such portion of the SISH Convertible Loan Agreement to either or both of BL die Bayerische Lebensversicherung AG and BA die Bayerische
Lebensversicherung AG, in each case, in a minimum denomination of at least EUR 5,000,000. As of the date of this Agreement, BBL has not made use of such right. In addition, under a certain purchase and contractual assignment agreement
(Vertragsübernahme) dated 20 January 2021 (notarial roll of deeds no. 16/2021 by public notary Dr. Thorsten Reinhard, Frankfurt am Main), the SISH Convertible Loan Agreement was transferred and assigned from SISH to INGBE
in a partial amount of EUR 40,000,000 (plus accrued interest) and, under two certain purchase and contractual assignment agreements (Vertragsübernahme) dated 16 March 2021 (notarial roll of deeds no. 82/2021 by public
notary Dr. Thorsten Reinhard, Frankfurt am Main), was subsequently transferred and assigned from INGBE to each of Arrow Holding and Guardians Invest in a partial amount of EUR 5,000,000 each (plus accrued interest). 


 

	(F)	 SSU, as borrower, entered into a EUR 25,000,000 convertible loan agreement with RAG-S (formerly: RAG-S Lending SCS, SICAV RAIF), as original lender, on 20 December 2019 (notarial roll of deeds no. 461/2019 by public notary Dr. Thorsten
Reinhard, Frankfurt am Main) (the “RAG-S Convertible Loan Agreement”, and together with the SISH Convertible Loan Agreement, the “Convertible Loan Agreements”).



  

	(G)	 Pursuant to certain irrevocable commitments entered into by the Convertible Loan Lenders with SISH on or prior
to the date hereof, the Convertible Loan Lenders have agreed and undertaken, after signing of the BCA and prior to closing of the Business Combination, to convert the entire loan amount granted to SSU under the Convertible Loan Agreements (plus
accrued interest) into new common shares in SSU, in the nominal amount of EUR 1.00 per share, by way of a capital increase in kind of the share capital of SSU (the “Conversion”). The Conversion shall be completed sufficiently in
advance of the Business Combination. 


  

	(H)	 Upon the occurrence of the Roll-up and the Conversion, the Minority
Shareholders and the Convertible Loan Lenders, respectively, will become shareholders of SSU (the “Future Shareholders”, and together with the Initial Shareholders, the “Shareholders”). 



 

	(I)	 SISH, with the participation of SSU, has entered into certain investment agreements with the SSU minority
shareholders, i.e. (i) with AEON on 20 December 2018 (notarial roll of deeds no. 420/2018 by public notary Dr. Thorsten Reinhard, Frankfurt am Main), (ii) with Evergrow Asia Ltd. under participation of Harng Central
Department Store Ltd. on 20 December 2018 (notarial roll of deeds no. 422/2018 by public notary Dr. Thorsten Reinhard, Frankfurt am Main) and (iii) with RVV and RVLV on 16 September 2019 (notarial roll of deeds
no. 296/2019 by public notary

Dr. Thorsten Reinhard, Frankfurt am Main), each as amended (collectively, the “Investment Agreements”). The Investment Agreements provide that any transfer restrictions
pursuant to the respective Investment Agreements (e.g., among others, lock-ups, tag-along rights, drag-along rights, rights of first refusal as well as call and put
options) shall not apply to any transfer of Company Shares in the course or after the so-called De-SPAC transaction. Such transfer restrictions also do not continue to
apply with regards to the TopCo Shares (as defined below) following the implementation of the Transaction (as defined below) and the TopCo Shares are not subject to any transfer restrictions. This paragraph, for the avoidance of doubt, does not
limit the rights arising from the respective Investment Agreements regarding the internal relationship between the parties of the respective Investment Agreements. 


 

	(J)	 Pursuant to the BCA, the Business Combination will, subject to the terms and conditions thereof (including any
amendments, supplements or other modifications thereto in accordance with its terms) and among other transactions contemplated thereby, be implemented substantially as follows: 



(i) all of the Shareholders agree not to sell and/or transfer to any third party any of their respective (A) shares held in the Company
(“Company Shares”), (B) prior to the Roll-up, Minority Shareholdings, or (C) prior to the Conversion, loan amounts and accrued interest under the Convertible Loan Agreements, as
applicable, and will contribute their Company Shares (including, for the avoidance of doubt, such Company Shares issued upon the occurrence of the Conversion and the Roll-Up, as applicable) to a newly
incorporated Dutch corporation in the legal form of a Dutch private limited liability company (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid), which will as a subsequent step in the implementation of the Business Combination be
converted into a Dutch public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) (“TopCo”), in exchange for ordinary shares in TopCo (“TopCo Shares”), substantially on the basis of the exchange ratio as set
forth in the cap table attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Cap Table”, which also illustrates the shareholdings after the implementation of the Business Combination, the Conversion and the Roll-up and, accordingly, all Company Shares (including such Company Shares received by the Future Shareholders in connection with the Conversion and the Roll-up) will be
exchanged for TopCo Shares as contemplated hereby) (the “Share Exchange”); 
 (ii) Yucaipa will merge into a newly formed
and wholly owned subsidiary of TopCo, incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company, (“Merger Sub”) with the Merger Sub surviving the merger and the shareholders of Yucaipa receiving Class A ordinary shares in Merger Sub
through an exchange agent who will contribute such shares to TopCo against issuance of TopCo Shares in exchange for the shares in Merger Sub; 

  
 10 













 (iii) as provided in Section 4.5 of that certain Warrant Agreement, dated as of
6 August 2020, by and between Yucaipa and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, after giving effect to the Business Combination, the warrants in Yucaipa will no longer be exercisable for shares in Yucaipa but instead will be
exercisable (subject to the terms and conditions of such agreement, as amended) for TopCo Shares; 
 (iv) certain investors will have,
concurrently with the execution of the BCA, agreed to subscribe for and purchase a certain number of TopCo Shares in exchange for contribution of a cash amount on the “Closing Date” (as such term is defined in the BCA), immediately
after the consummation of the merger set forth in clause (ii) above (the Roll-up, the Conversion and the Business Combination including the aforementioned transactions under clauses (i) and (ii)
above and the other transactions contemplated by the BCA, all as further described in detail in the BCA, collectively the “Transaction”); and 

(v) on or about the Closing Date, the TopCo Shares will be listed on the NYSE. The (pre-closing) equity
valuation of SSU, on the basis of which the Transaction is to be consummated, is USD 2,461,891,680 (the “SSU Equity Value“) (as further set forth in the Cap Table). 

 

	(K)	 It is in the Shareholders’ interest that the Transaction, including for the avoidance of doubt the
Conversion and the Roll-up, is implemented substantially as described above and in the BCA. 


  

	(L)	 In order to facilitate the implementation of the Transaction each of the Initial Shareholders, Convertible Loan
Lenders and Minority Shareholders has (i), prior to the date hereof, duly executed and delivered powers of attorney to SISH or to another recipient of their choice, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D and
has (ii) duly executed and delivered or will duly execute and deliver powers of attorney to NautaDutilh N.V. or another recipient of their choice, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, or in the form
of a sub-power of attorney with the respective scope, respectively, permitting the respective authorized person (i) to execute and deliver any agreements to which such Shareholder is a party to in
connection with the Transaction (including, but not limited to, the Dutch Deeds of Issue or the German Share Transfer Deed, each such term as defined in the BCA), (ii) to take all necessary or desirable actions on behalf of such Shareholder in
connection with the transactions contemplated under and as set forth in the BCA and the “Transaction Documents” (as such term is defined in the BCA) to the extent applicable to such Shareholder (including, for the avoidance of
doubt, the execution of this Agreement on each Shareholder’s behalf), (iii) to convene and conduct shareholders’ meetings of the Company (including participating and exercising voting rights attached to the Company Shares) in
accordance with the governing documents of the Company and for the purpose of obtaining the requisite consent for the Share Exchange and (iv) to support the transactions contemplated by the BCA and the other Transaction Documents (including by
way of restrictions on the sale, disposition or transfer of the Company Shares held by such Shareholder).
