A.                                             The Company is a private limited company and was incorporated by NAMA on 27 January 2010 under the Companies Acts 1963 to 2009 with registered number 480243 and now has an authorised share capital of €10,000,000 divided into 49,000,000 A Shares and 51,000,000 B Shares, all of which have been issued and are fully paid up and held as set out in Schedule 2.

C.                                             The parties have accordingly agreed to enter into this Agreement for the purposes of regulating the future conduct of the business of the Company and (except for the Company) of regulating their relationship as the holders of the entire issued and allotted share capital of the Company.

THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

 

SECTION 1.0 - BASIS OF AGREEMENT

 

1.1                                        Basis of Agreement

 

1.1.1                             Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Agreement (and all of its rights under this Agreement) are subject to the provisions of the Act and that accordingly the exercise by it of any rights pursuant to this Agreement will at all times be in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of the Act.

 

1.1.2                             The provisions of Sections 2.0 and 3.0  shall take effect upon the date of this Agreement and, save as otherwise set out below, the rights of each Shareholder under this Agreement shall continue in force only for so long as such Shareholder shall continue to hold any issued Shares.

 

1.1.3                             Each of the Shareholders undertakes to each of the other Shareholders that it shall use its powers to procure that the Company shall comply in full with the terms of this Agreement.

 

1.1.4                             NAMA undertakes to the Private Investors that it shall endeavour to procure (in so far as lies within its powers to procure) that the Company shall, at all times within the term of this Agreement, remain a limited liability company and a NAMA group entity.

 

SECTION 2.0 - CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

2.1                                        Directors of the Company

 

2.1.1                             The Board shall be constituted in accordance with this Agreement and accordingly no person shall be appointed a Director other than as provided for in this Agreement.

 

2.1.2                             For so long as NAMA holds any Shares, it shall be entitled to appoint six persons as directors of the Company (each such person an “A Director”) and to remove any director or directors so appointed and, on or after their removal, to appoint a further director or directors in their place. Accordingly, each of the parties (other than the Company) shall use its powers to procure, at the written request of NAMA, the appointment, removal or replacement as director of any such persons. Every appointment or removal pursuant to this Clause shall be by written notice addressed to the Secretary at the registered office of the Company.

 

2.1.3                             Subject to Clause 2.1.4, for so long as the Private Investors (and/or their Permitted Transferees) collectively hold not less than 50% of the issued Shares, they shall be entitled jointly to appoint six persons as directors of the Company (each such person a “B Director”) and to remove any director or directors so appointed and, on or after their removal, to appoint a further director or directors in their place. Accordingly, each of the parties (other

 

 

than the Company) shall use its powers to procure the appointment, removal or replacement as director of any such persons. Every appointment or removal pursuant to this Clause shall be by written notice addressed to the Secretary at the registered office of the Company, signed by or on behalf of the holders of a majority of the issued B Shares (save in the case of a notice served by the Chairman of the Board pursuant to Clause 2.1.4). The Private Investors covenant and undertake that any such appointments shall be on terms that the B Directors shall not divulge any Confidential Information to the Private Investors (or any of them) other than information passing pursuant to Clause 2.4 or otherwise as approved by the Board, and that upon or prior to appointment each B Director shall be obliged to enter into a confidentiality undertaking to the Company to this effect.

 

2.1.4                             The parties agree that no person who is at the time of their proposed appointment, or was at any time in the five years prior to their proposed appointment, a Restricted Individual shall be nominated or appointed pursuant to Clause 2.1.3 unless NAMA has given its prior written consent to such appointment. Each of the Private Investors shall use its powers to procure that any B Director who becomes, or is after his appointment discovered to be, a Restricted Individual, is forthwith removed from the Board, unless NAMA has given its prior written consent otherwise. If any Private Investor shall fail to comply with the provisions of this Clause, the parties agree that the Chairman of the Board is authorised to sign and deliver to the Company the written notice referred to in Clause 2.1.3 on behalf of the relevant Private Investor.

 

2.1.5                             The parties agree that, in respect of any person nominated for appointment to, or removal from, the Board pursuant to a notice validly served pursuant to Clauses 2.1.2 or 2.1.3 (or pursuant to a notice served by the Chairman of the Board under Clause 2.1.4), such appointment or removal shall be deemed to take effect upon receipt of such notice at the registered office of the Company and no further approval or ratification shall be required.

 

2.1.6                             The Chairman of the Board shall be appointed in accordance with the Articles. If the chairman is unable to attend any meeting of the Board, the Directors present shall appoint another person approved by NAMA to act as chairman in his place at that meeting.

 

2.1.7                             No Board meeting shall be quorate unless at least three Directors are present, at least one of whom is an A Director and at least one of whom is a B Director, provided that if a quorum shall not be present within 30 minutes from the time appointed for any Board meeting it shall stand adjourned for seven days to the same time and place and upon being reconvened, any A Director or A Directors present shall constitute a quorum.

 

2.1.8                             The Board shall establish an audit committee and any such other committees as it may resolve from time to time.  Any committee so established shall be constituted so that an A Director serves as chairman of the committee.

 

 

2.2                                        NAMA Group Entity

 

Each of the parties agrees that the Company constitutes a NAMA group entity for the purposes of the Act.

 

2.3                                        Declaration of Interests

 

2.3.1                             Each of the Shareholders undertakes to the other Shareholders and to the Company to use its powers to procure that if any Director appointed by it has a pecuniary interest or other beneficial interest in, and material to, a matter that falls to be considered by the Board:

 

(a)                                          the Director shall disclose to the other members of the Board the nature of his interest in advance of any consideration of the matter;

 

(b)                                          the Director shall not influence nor seek to influence a decision to be made in relation to the matter;

 

(c)                                           the Director shall take no part in any consideration of the matter;

 

(d)                                          the Director shall absent himself from the meeting or that part of the meeting during which the matter is discussed; and

 

(e)                                           the Director shall not vote or otherwise act on a decision relation to the matter;

 

and each of the parties shall use its powers to procure that any interests so disclosed shall be recorded in the minutes of the meeting of the Board or otherwise duly recorded.

 

2.3.2                             Each of the Shareholders undertakes to the other Shareholders and to the Company to use its powers to procure that each Director appointed by it shall, by 31 January in each year, give notice to NAMA of all of his registrable interests (within the meaning given by the Ethics in Public Office Act 1995) as required by Section 31(2)(a) of the Act.

 

2.4                                        Information

 

The Company shall furnish to each of the Private Investors (in each case for so long as it continues to hold at least 5% of the issued Shares) management accounts for the Company in respect of each preceding financial quarter, no later than three months after the end of such financial quarter, subject to such redaction that NAMA, by notice to the Company, requires to be redacted on the basis that it, acting at its sole discretion, considers this desirable in order to protect the confidentiality of any Confidential Information.

4.1                                        Sale of Shares

 

Each of the Private Investors undertakes to NAMA that save in the event of a Listing, it will not dispose of or create any option over, or encumber, pledge or create a lien over, any Shares (or interest in Shares) in favour of any person (i) without the prior written consent of NAMA and (ii) where such consent is forthcoming, without each such person first having entered into a deed of adherence, in a form approved in writing by NAMA, pursuant to which each such person agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

 

4.2                                        Forced Sale on Sale of Company

 

4.2.1                             Subject to Clause 4.2.2, if any person or persons (an “Acquirer”) shall offer or agree to acquire all of the issued Shares and NAMA should wish to accept such offer or enter into such agreement in respect of its Shares, NAMA shall have the right (the “Drag-Along Right”) to require that all other holders of Shares (“Remaining Shareholders”), sell their Shares to the Acquirer on the terms of such offer or proposed acquisition.  The terms of such offer or agreement may provide for a different price and/or different form of consideration to be payable in respect of A Shares and B Shares.

 

4.2.2                             The Drag-Along Right shall only apply if the price payable per B Share (whether in cash or non-cash consideration) is equal to or in excess of the Capped Return.

 

4.2.3                             Exercise of the Drag-Along Right shall be by NAMA serving written notice on the Remaining Shareholders (the “Drag Notice”), with a copy to the Company. The Drag Notice shall include the identity of the Acquirer, the consideration per B Share and the date on which the acquisition of the Shares shall be completed or the means by which such date shall be determined having regard to conditions precedent and any other terms of the offer, and shall require each of the Remaining Shareholders to sell to the Acquirer all of their respective Shares on the terms contained in the Drag Notice.

 

4.2.4                             If, notwithstanding exercise of the Drag-Along Right, any Remaining Shareholder refuses or fails to transfer its Shares on the completion date referred to in Clause 4.2.3 as required pursuant to this Clause then:

 

(a)                                          the voting, and other rights attaching to those Shares may not be exercised by such Remaining Shareholder and payment of any dividends declared on such shares shall be withheld until such time as the requisite transfer is effected;

 

 

(b)                                          any person nominated in writing by NAMA for this purpose is hereby irrevocably appointed as agent and attorney by such Remaining Shareholder with full power and authority to execute and deliver in the name of such Remaining Shareholder and on its behalf all instruments and other documents necessary to effect such transfer and do all things as may be necessary to ratify and confirm any act, deed or document whatsoever that the nominee as attorney shall do or execute or lawfully cause to be done or executed by virtue of such power of attorney; and

 

(c)                                           NAMA or such nominee as it may appoint under Clause 4.2.4(b) may receive the purchase monies or any non-cash consideration due to such Remaining Shareholder in respect of its Shares and shall remit them to such Remaining Shareholder upon delivery of such holder’s cancelled share certificate(s) to the Company.  The receipt by NAMA or its nominee of such monies or other consideration shall be full discharge of the Acquirer’s payment obligation in respect of that Remaining Shareholder’s Shares. The Company shall, upon delivery of such holder’s cancelled share certificate(s), at the risk of such Remaining Shareholder, send any withheld dividends by registered post to the address of such Remaining Shareholder as recorded in the Company’s Register of Shareholders and, subject to the relevant share transfer forms being duly stamped, shall register the name of the transferee of such Shares in the Company’s Register of Shareholders.

 

4.3                                        Forced Sale on Change of Control

 

4.3.1                             If any holder of B Shares shall undergo a Change of Control without the prior written consent of NAMA (“a Defaulting Shareholder”), NAMA shall have the right (the “Buy-Out Right”) to require the Defaulting Shareholder to sell all of its Shares to NAMA, or such other person as NAMA may nominate, at Market Value.

 

4.3.2                             Exercise of the Buy-Out Right shall be by NAMA serving written notice on the Defaulting Shareholder (the “Buy-Out Notice”), with a copy to the Company. The Buy-Out Notice shall include the identity of the acquirer, the consideration per Share proposed by NAMA as Market Value and the date on which the acquisition of the Shares shall be completed. In proposing Market Value, NAMA shall apply such methods as it considers fair and reasonable in valuing the Shares of the Defaulting Shareholder.

 

4.3.3                             Without prejudice to the Defaulting Shareholder’s obligation to complete the sale of its Shares on the completion date stated in the Buy-Out Notice for the consideration proposed as Market Value by NAMA in the Buy-Out Notice, if the Defaulting Shareholder believes that the market value of its Shares exceeds the Market Value proposed by NAMA in the Buy-Out Notice, the Defaulting Shareholder may, within 5 Business Days of receipt of the Buy-Out Notice, notify NAMA in writing of the reason(s) for its belief.

 

 

4.3.4                             In the absence of agreement as to Market Value within 10 Business Days of receipt of such notification by NAMA, NAMA shall refer the matter to the binding determination of an expert appointed by agreement between NAMA and the Defaulting Shareholder, or in default of agreement within 3 Business Days, appointed by the Minister upon the request of NAMA (the “Expert”). The Expert shall act as expert and not as arbitrator and in the absence of manifest error its determination as to the Market Value of the Defaulting Shareholder’s Shares shall be final and binding.

 

4.3.5                             If it is determined by the Expert (or agreed between NAMA and the Defaulting Shareholder) that the Market Value is different to the market value originally ascribed to the Defaulting Shareholder’s Shares by NAMA in the Buy-Out Notice and paid to the Defaulting Shareholder on the completion date referred to in Clause 4.3.2, the consideration payable for the Defaulting Shareholder’s Shares shall be adjusted accordingly and either a payment of the additional consideration owing shall be made by NAMA (or such other person as nominated by NAMA pursuant to Clause 4.3.1) as deferred consideration to the Defaulting Shareholder, or a refund of the excess consideration received by the Defaulting Shareholder shall be made by the Defaulting Shareholder to NAMA (or such other person as aforesaid), in either case within 5 Business Days of the Expert’s determination.  The costs and expenses of any Expert appointed pursuant to this Clause shall be borne in accordance with the directions of such Expert.

 

4.3.6                             If, notwithstanding exercise of the Buy-Out Right, the Defaulting Shareholder refuses or fails to transfer its Shares on the completion date referred to in Clause 4.3.2 as required pursuant to this Clause then:

 

(a)                                          the voting, and other rights attaching to those Shares may not be exercised by the Defaulting Shareholder and payment of any dividends declared on such shares shall be withheld until such time as the requisite transfer is effected;

 

(b)                                          any person nominated in writing by NAMA for this purpose is irrevocably appointed as agent and attorney by the Defaulting Shareholder with full power and authority to execute and deliver in the name of the Defaulting Shareholder and on its behalf all instruments and other documents necessary to effect such transfer and do all things as may be necessary to ratify and confirm any act, deed or document whatsoever that the nominee as attorney shall do or execute or lawfully cause to be done or executed by virtue of such power of attorney; and

 

(c)                                           NAMA or such nominee as it may appoint under Clause 4.3.6(b) may receive the purchase monies due to the Defaulting Shareholder in respect of its Shares and shall remit them to the Defaulting Shareholder upon delivery of the Defaulting Shareholder’s cancelled share certificate(s) to the Company.  The receipt by NAMA or its nominee of such monies shall be full discharge of the payment obligation in respect of the Defaulting Shareholder’s Shares. The Company shall, upon delivery of the Defaulting

 

 

Shareholder’s cancelled share certificate(s), at the risk of the Defaulting Shareholder, send any withheld dividends by registered post to the address of the Defaulting Shareholder as recorded in the Company’s Register of Shareholders and, subject to the relevant share transfer forms being duly stamped, shall register the name of the transferee of such Shares in the Company’s Register of Shareholders.

(c)                                           the resignation as director of the Company of any nominee of that Private Investor to the Board, together with confirmation under seal that he has no claim for compensation against the Company on account of such resignation.

 

5.3.2                             If the purchase and sale of the Option Shares shall, as a result of any statute or regulation binding on any of the parties, require notification to and/or the consent or approval of any statutory body or authority to be valid (or to relieve such party of any statutory penalty), then the obligations of the parties pursuant to Clause 5.3.1 shall be conditional upon such notification and/or consent or approval. If such notification is made, or such consent or approval is granted, after the date specified for Option Completion in the Exercise Notice, Option Completion shall take place on the third Business Day thereafter. Each of the parties shall be required to use all reasonable endeavours to procure that such notification is made and/or such approval or consent is granted.

5.5.1          If, prior to Option Completion, a winding up of the Company shall commence such that a transfer of the Option Shares would be void without the consent of the Court or of the liquidator (as the case may be), Option

 

 

Completion shall nevertheless occur upon the due date therefor after exercise of the Call Option, and the Option Price shall be paid, on the basis that:

 

(a)                                          each of the Private Investors shall deliver a duly executed transfer form to NAMA upon demand and shall use all reasonable endeavours to procure, in co-operation with the NAMA, any consent necessary in respect thereof; and

 

(b)                                          each of the Private Investors shall hold its Option Shares on trust for NAMA; and

1.1                                        Background to Subscription

 

Each of the Private Investors acknowledges and agrees that it is subscribing for the B Shares in order to facilitate the establishment and operation of the Company and its subsidiaries by NAMA for the purposes set out in the National Asset Management Agency Act 2009 (the “Act”). Each of the Private Investors acknowledges and agrees that its investment in the Company is being made on the strict understanding that the Board, in exercising its powers and in conducting the affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries, will do so having primary regard to achieving the objects of the Company as described in clause 2(1) of its Memorandum of Association (which each of the Private Investors confirms that it understands and accepts). Each of the Private Investors further acknowledges and accepts that, given these objects of the Company, there is a risk that the Company may incur loss and/or the value of the B Shares may decrease, and each of the Private Investors confirms that in making its investment in the Company and entering into this Agreement it understands and accepts the existence of these risks as a fundamental term of its agreement to subscribe for the B Shares. Each of the Private Investors irrevocably waives all rights and/or entitlements that it may have, whenever arising, to make a claim or claims against, or otherwise seek compensation from, the Company, its officers, agents, employees or the Minister in respect of the suitability of the Shares as an investment for the Private Investors.
