International Game Technology PLC (the “Parent”) had the following classes of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of December 31, 2020: ordinary shares, par value U.S. $0.10 each (the “ordinary shares”).

The Parent's ordinary shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “IGT.”

Additional Information

Memorandum and Articles of Association

The Parent is a public limited company registered in England and Wales under company number 09127533. Its objects are unrestricted, in line with the default position under the Companies Act 2006, as amended. The following is a summary of certain provisions of the Articles of Association of the Parent adopted on June 25, 2020 (the “Articles”) and of the applicable laws of England. The following is a summary and, therefore, does not contain full details of the Articles, which are attached as Exhibit 1.1 to the annual report on Form 20-F to which this exhibit is filed.

Compliance with NYSE Rules

For as long as the Parent’s ordinary shares are listed on the NYSE, the Parent will comply with all NYSE corporate governance standards set forth in Section 3 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual applicable to non-controlled domestic U.S. issuers, regardless of whether the Parent is a foreign private issuer.

Classes of shares

The Parent has three classes of shares in issue. This includes the ordinary shares; special voting shares, par value U.S. $0.000001 each (the “Special Voting Shares”); and sterling non-voting shares, par value £1.00 each (the “Sterling Non-Voting Shares”).

Dividends and distributions

Subject to the CA 2006, the Parent’s shareholders may declare a dividend on the Parent’s ordinary shares by ordinary resolution, and the Board may decide to pay an interim dividend to holders of the Parent’s ordinary shares in accordance with their respective rights and interests in the Parent, and may fix the time for payment of such dividend. Under English law, dividends may only be paid out of distributable reserves, defined as accumulated realized profits (so far as not previously utilized by distribution or capitalization) less accumulated realized losses (so far as not previously written off in a reduction or reorganization of capital duly made), and not out of share capital, which includes the share premium account. The Special Voting Shares and Sterling Non-Voting Shares do not entitle their holders to dividends.

If 12 years have passed from the date on which a dividend or other sum from the Parent became due for payment and the distribution recipient has not claimed it, the distribution recipient is no longer entitled to that dividend or other sum and it ceases to remain owing by the Parent.

The Articles also permit a scrip dividend scheme under which the directors may, with the prior authority of an ordinary resolution of the Parent, allot to those holders of a particular class of shares who have elected to receive them further shares of that class or ordinary shares in either case credited as fully paid instead of cash in respect of all or part of a dividend or dividends specified by the resolution.

Voting rights

Subject to any rights or restrictions as to voting attached to any class of shares and subject to disenfranchisement in the event of non-payment of any call or other sum due and payable in respect of any shares not fully paid, the voting rights of shareholders of the Parent in a general meeting are as follows:

1.              On a show of hands,
 
a.            the shareholder of the Parent who (being an individual) is present in person or (being a corporation) is present by a duly authorized corporate representative at a general meeting of the Parent will have one vote; and
 
b.             every person present who has been appointed by a shareholder as a proxy will have one vote, except where:
 
i.                  that proxy has been appointed by more than one shareholder entitled to vote on the resolution; and
 
ii.               the proxy has been instructed:
 
A.            by one or more of those shareholders to vote for the resolution and by one or more of those shareholders to vote against the resolution; or
 
B.     by one or more of those shareholders to vote in the same way on the resolution (whether for or against) and one or more of those shareholders has permitted the proxy discretion as to how to vote,

in which case, the proxy has one vote for and one vote against the resolution.
 
2.       On a poll taken at a meeting, every shareholder present and entitled to vote on the resolution has one vote for every ordinary share of the Parent of which he, she, or it is the holder, and 0.9995 votes for every Special Voting Share for which he, she, or it is entitled under the terms of the Parent’s loyalty voting structure to direct the exercise of the vote.

Under the Articles, a poll on a resolution may be demanded by the chairperson, the directors, five or more people having the right to vote on the resolution, or a shareholder or shareholders (or their duly appointed proxies) having not less than 10% of either the total voting rights or the total paid up share capital. Once a resolution is declared, such persons may demand the poll both in advance of, and during, a general meeting, either before or immediately after a show of hands on such resolution.

In the case of joint holders, only the vote of the senior holder who votes (or any proxy duly appointed by him) may be counted by the Parent.

The necessary quorum for a general shareholder meeting is the shareholders who together represent at least a majority of the voting rights of all the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or by proxy, save that if the Parent only has one shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the general meeting, one shareholder present in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote is a quorum. 

In case of a meeting requisitioned by the shareholders, where the quorum is not met the meeting is dissolved. In case of other meetings, where the quorum is not met, the meeting is adjourned. If a meeting is adjourned for lack of quorum, the quorum of the adjourned meeting will be one shareholder present in person or by proxy.

The Sterling Non-Voting Shares carry no voting rights (save where required by law).

Winding up

On a return of capital of the Parent on a winding up or otherwise, the holders of the Parent's ordinary shares (and any other shares outstanding at the relevant time which rank equally with such shares) will share equally, on a share for share basis, in the Parent’s assets available for distribution, after paying:
						
		
	•	the holders of the Special Voting Shares who will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Parent available for distribution to its shareholders the sum of, in aggregate, U.S. $1.00 but shall not be entitled to any further participation in the assets of the Parent; and

						
		
	•	the holders of the Sterling Non-Voting Shares who will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Parent available for distribution to its shareholders the sum of, in aggregate, £1.00 but shall not be entitled to any further participation in the assets of the Parent.

Redemption provisions

The Parent's ordinary shares are not redeemable.

The Special Voting Shares may be redeemed by the Parent for nil consideration in certain circumstances (as set out in the Articles).

The Sterling Non-Voting Shares may be redeemed by the Parent for nil consideration at any time.

Sinking fund provisions

None of the Parent's shares are subject to any sinking fund provision under the Articles or as a matter of English law.

Liability to further calls

No holder of any share in the Parent is liable to make additional contributions of capital in respect of its shares.

Discriminating provisions

There are no provisions discriminating against a shareholder because of his or her ownership of a particular number of shares.

Variation of class rights

The Articles treat the Parent's ordinary shares and the Special Voting Shares as a single class for the purposes of voting. Any special rights attached to any shares in the Parent's capital may (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class) be varied or abrogated, either while the Parent is a going concern or during or in contemplation of a winding up, with the consent in writing of those entitled to attend and vote at general meetings of the Parent representing 75.0% of the voting rights attaching to the Parent's ordinary shares and the Special Voting Shares, in aggregate, which may be exercised at such meetings, or with the sanction of 75% of those votes attaching to the Parent's ordinary shares and the Special Voting Shares, in aggregate, cast on a special resolution proposed at a separate general meeting of all those entitled to attend and vote at the Parent's general meetings, but not otherwise. 

The CA 2006 allows an English company to vary class rights of shares by a resolution of 75.0% of the shareholders of the class in question. 

A resolution to vary any class rights relating to the giving, variation, revocation or renewal of any authority of the directors to allot shares or relating to a reduction of the Parent’s capital may only be varied or abrogated in accordance with the CA 2006 but not otherwise.

The rights attached to a class of shares are not, unless otherwise expressly provided for in the rights attaching to those shares, deemed to be varied by the creation, allotment, or issue of further shares ranking pari passu with or subsequent to them or by the purchase or redemption by the Parent of its own shares in accordance with the CA 2006.

Limitations on rights to own shares

There are no limitations imposed by the Articles or the applicable laws of England on the rights to own shares, including the right of non-residents or foreign persons to hold or vote the Parent's shares, other than limitations that would generally apply to all shareholders.

Change of control

There is no specific provision in the Articles that directly would have an effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of the Parent and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition, or corporate restructuring involving the Parent or any of its subsidiaries. However, the loyalty voting structure may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or attempt to acquire, control of the Parent. As a result of the loyalty voting structure, it is possible that a relatively large portion of the voting rights of the Parent could be concentrated in a relatively small number of holders who would have significant influence over the Parent. Such shareholders participating in the loyalty voting structure could reduce the likelihood of change of control transactions that may otherwise benefit holders of the Parent's ordinary shares. For a discussion of this risk, see “Item 3. Key Information - D. Risk Factors” of the annual report on Form 20-F to which this exhibit is filed.

Disclosure of ownership interests in shares

Under the Articles, shareholders must comply with the notification obligations to the Parent contained in Chapter 5 (Vote Holder and Issuer Notification Rules) of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules (“DTR”) (including, without limitation, the provisions of DTR 5.1.2) as if the Parent were an issuer whose home member state is in the United Kingdom, save that the obligation arises if the percentage of voting rights reaches, exceeds, or falls below 1% and each one percent threshold thereafter (up or down) up to 100%. In effect, this means that a shareholder must notify the Parent if the percentage of voting rights in the Parent it holds reaches 1% and crosses any one percent threshold thereafter (up or down).

Section 793 of the CA 2006 gives the Parent the power to require persons whom it knows have, or whom it has reasonable cause to believe have, or within the previous three years have had, any ownership interest in any shares of the Parent to disclose specified information regarding those shares. Failure to provide the information requested within the prescribed period (or knowingly or recklessly providing false information) after the date the notice is sent can result in criminal or civil sanctions being imposed against the person in default.

Under the Articles, if any shareholder, or any other person appearing to be interested in the Parent's shares held by such shareholder, fails to give the Parent the information required by a section 793 notice, then the Board may withdraw voting rights, and place restrictions on the rights to receive dividends and transfer of such shares (including any shares allotted or issued after the date of the Section 793 notice in respect of those shares).

Changes in share capital

The Articles authorize the Company to allot (with or without conferring rights of renunciation), issue, grant options over or otherwise deal with or dispose of shares in the capital of the Company and to grant rights to subscribe for, or to convert any security into, shares in the capital of the Company to such persons, at such times and upon such terms as the directors may decide, provided that no share may be issued at a discount. Pursuant to a shareholder resolution passed on June 25, 2020, for a period expiring (unless previously revoked, varied or renewed) at the end of the next annual general meeting of the Company or, if sooner, on September 24, 2021, directors are authorized to:
(i)     allot ordinary shares in the Parent, or to grant rights to subscribe for or to convert or exchange any security into ordinary shares in the Parent, up to an aggregate nominal amount (i.e., par value) of U.S. $6,824,827.70 and up to a further aggregate nominal amount of $6,824,827.70 where the allotment is in connection with an offer by way of a rights issue; 
(ii)     allot Special Voting Shares and to grant rights to subscribe for, or to convert any security into, Special Voting Shares, up to a maximum aggregate nominal amount of $136.50; and
(iii)    exclude pre-emption rights: first, in relation to offers of equity securities by way of rights issue; second, in relation to the allotment of equity securities for cash up to an aggregate nominal amount (i.e., par value) of U.S. $1,023,724.20; and third, in relation to an acquisition or other capital investment up to an aggregate nominal amount (i.e., par value) of U.S. $1,023,724.20.
These provisions are more restrictive than required under English law which does not prescribe a limit for the maximum amounts for allotment of shares or exclusion of pre-emption rights.
Pursuant to a shareholder resolution passed on June 25, 2020, for a period expiring (unless previously revoked, varied or renewed) at the end of the next annual general meeting of the Company or, if sooner, on December 24, 2021, the Parent is authorized to purchase its own ordinary shares on the terms of the share repurchase contracts approved by the shareholders, provided that:
1.the maximum aggregate number of the Parent's ordinary shares authorized to be purchased equals 20,474,483, representing 10% of the total issued ordinary shares;

2.the minimum price (exclusive of expenses) which may be paid by the Company for each ordinary share shall be U.S. $0.10; and

the maximum price (exclusive of expenses) which may be paid to purchase an ordinary share of the Parent is 105% of the average market value of an ordinary share for the five business days prior to the day the purchase is made (subject to any further price restrictions contained in any share repurchase contract) 
These provisions are more restrictive than required under English law which does not prescribe a limit for the maximum aggregate number or price paid for an "off market" repurchase of its shares

Loyalty Plan

Scope

The Parent has implemented a loyalty plan (the “Loyalty Plan”), the purpose of which is to reward long-term ownership of the Parent's ordinary shares and promote stability of the Parent's shareholder base by granting long-term shareholders, subject to certain terms and conditions, with the equivalent of 1.9995 votes for each ordinary share that they hold. The Loyalty Plan is governed by the provisions of the Articles and the Loyalty Plan Terms and Conditions from time to time adopted by the Board, a copy of which is available on the Company's website, together with some Frequently Asked Questions.

Characteristics of Special Voting Shares

Each Special Voting Share carries 0.9995 votes. The Special Voting Shares and ordinary shares will be treated as if they are a single class of shares and not divided into separate classes for voting purposes (save upon a resolution in respect of any proposed termination of the Loyalty Plan).

The Special Voting Shares have only minimal economic entitlements. Such economic entitlements are designed to comply with English law but are immaterial for investors.

Issue

The number of Special Voting Shares on issue equals the number of ordinary shares on issue. A nominee appointed by the Parent (the “Nominee”), which is currently Computershare Company Nominees Limited, holds the Special Voting Shares on behalf of the shareholders of the Parent as a whole, and will exercise the voting rights attached to those shares in accordance with the Articles.

Participation in the Loyalty Plan

In order to become entitled to elect to participate in the Loyalty Plan, a person must maintain ownership in accordance with the Loyalty Plan for a continuous period of three years or more (an “Eligible Person”).

An Eligible Person within the Loyalty Plan Terms and Conditions may elect to participate in the Loyalty Plan by submitting a validly completed and signed election form (the “Election Form”) and, if applicable, the requisite custodial documentation, to the Parent’s designated agent (the “Agent”). The Election Form is available on the Company's website. Upon receipt of a valid Election Form and, if applicable, custodial documentation, the Agent will register the relevant ordinary shares on a separate register (the “Loyalty Register”). In order for an Eligible Person’s ordinary shares to remain on the Loyalty Register, they may not be sold, disposed of, transferred, pledged or subjected to any lien, fixed or floating charge or other encumbrance, except in very limited circumstances.

Voting arrangements

The Nominee will exercise the votes attaching to the Special Voting Shares held by it from time to time at a general meeting or a class meeting: (a) in respect of any Special Voting Shares associated with ordinary shares held by an Eligible Person, in the same manner as the Eligible Person exercises the votes attaching to those IGT PLC ordinary shares; and (b) in respect of all other Special Voting Shares, in the same percentage as the outcome of the vote of any general meeting (taking into account any votes exercised pursuant to (a) above).

The proxy or voting instruction form in respect of an Eligible Person’s ordinary shares will contain an instruction and authorization in favor of the Nominee to exercise the votes attaching to the Special Voting Shares associated with those ordinary shares in the same manner as that Eligible Person exercises the votes attaching to those ordinary shares.

Transfer or withdrawal

If, at any time and for any reason, one or more ordinary shares are de-registered from the Loyalty Register, or any ordinary shares held by an Eligible Person on the Loyalty Register are sold, disposed of, transferred (other than with the benefit of a waiver in respect of certain permitted transfers), pledged or subjected to any lien, fixed or floating charge or other encumbrance, the Special Voting Shares associated with those ordinary shares will cease to confer on the Eligible Person any voting rights (or any other rights) in connection with those Special Voting Shares and such person will cease to be an Eligible Person in respect of those Special Voting Shares.

A shareholder may request the de-registration of their ordinary shares from the Loyalty Register at any time by submitting a validly completed Withdrawal Form to the Agent. The Agent will release the ordinary shares from the Loyalty Register within three business days thereafter. Upon de-registration from the Loyalty Register, such ordinary shares will be freely transferable. From the date on which the Withdrawal Form is processed by the Agent, the relevant shareholder will be considered to have waived their rights in respect of the relevant Special Voting Shares.

Termination of the Plan

The Loyalty Plan may be terminated at any time with immediate effect by a resolution passed on a poll taken at a general meeting with the approval of members representing 75% or more of the total voting rights attaching to the ordinary shares of members who, being entitled to vote on that resolution, do so in person or by proxy. For the avoidance of doubt, the votes attaching to the Special Voting Shares will not be exercisable upon such resolution.

Upon termination of the Loyalty Plan, the directors may elect to redeem or repurchase the Special Voting Shares, from the Nominee for nil consideration and cancel them, or convert the Special Voting Share into deferred shares carrying no voting rights and no economic rights (or any other rights), save that on a return of capital or a winding up, the holder of the deferred shares shall be entitled to, in aggregate, $1.00.

Transfer

The Special Voting Shares may not be transferred, except in exceptional circumstances, e.g., for transfers between Loyalty Plan nominees.

Repurchase or redemption

Special Voting Shares may only be purchased or redeemed by the Parent in limited circumstances, including to reduce the number of Special Voting Shares held by the Nominee in order to align the aggregate number of ordinary shares and Special Voting Shares in issue from time to time or upon termination of the Loyalty Plan. Special Voting Shares may be redeemed or  repurchased for nil consideration.Document

(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise, any payment to be made by any Party or Acquired Entity in respect of any Claim or breach of this Agreement (including any breach of a Seller’s Warranty or a Buyer’s Warranty) shall be determined and paid net of (i) any Tax deduction, saving or benefit available to the other Party or the relevant Acquired Entity in connection with the event which has given rise to such payment and (ii) any amount in respect of VAT which is recoverable as input tax by such other Party or the relevant Acquired Entity in respect of such Claim.
(b)    Subject to Clause 3.4(a), any payment due by a Party in respect of any Claim or any breach of this Agreement (including any breach of a Seller’s Warranty or a Buyer’s Warranty), under any indemnity (including pursuant to Schedule 5 (Seller Specific Indemnities)), shall be increased by any amount necessary, on a Euro-for-Euro basis, to ensure that, after any such payment having been subject to Taxation, the other Party is left with the same amount it would have 

22

had if the payment was not subject to Taxation (“Tax Gross-Up”). Upon written request of the Party making a payment contemplated by this Clause 3.4(b) (the “Payor”), the Party having received a Tax Gross-Up payment (the “Payee”) shall instruct its auditors to provide a statement to the Payor on such payment having been subject to Taxation. If any Tax controversy arises with any Taxation Authority with respect to the Tax treatment of any such payment, the Parties shall co-operate in good faith and take all reasonable actions to secure that a Tax deduction for income tax purposes, or a Tax refund or Tax relief, as the case may be, is granted in connection with such payment; it being understood that once a Party receives a Tax refund or is entitled to a Tax relief on the basis of a final non-appealable Taxation Authority or court decision, the Tax Gross-Up payment shall be reimbursed to the Payor solely for an amount corresponding to any Tax refund (or portion thereof) being paid or such Tax relief (or portion thereof) being utilized by the Payee. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event either Party assigns its rights or obligations under this Agreement, the Payor shall only be obligated to apply the Tax Gross-Up in the maximum amount such Tax Gross-Up would have been due had such assignment not taken place.

no Leakage provided that the Seller shall have no liability to the Buyer under this Clause 4.1 or Clause 4.4 if Closing does not occur.
(b)    Compliance by the Seller with its obligations under Clause 6 (PreClosing Obligations) does not prevent something that would otherwise be Leakage from being Leakage.

The Seller undertakes to notify the Buyer as soon as is reasonably practicable upon becoming aware of any Leakage having taken place at any time during the period set out in Clause 4.1(a)(i) and Clause 4.1(a)(ii).

(a)    If any Leakage is notified or comes to the attention of the Buyer on or prior to Closing then, subject to the Seller agreeing that Leakage has occurred and agreeing to the amount to be paid by the Seller pursuant to Clause 4.4 in respect of such Leakage (an “Agreed Leakage Amount”), the Buyer shall be entitled to reduce the Closing Payment to be paid to the Seller pursuant to Clause 3.1 by the full amount of such Agreed Leakage Amount (and the 

23

payment of the amount of the Closing Payment so reduced shall be an absolute discharge of the Buyer’s obligations hereunder in respect of the Closing Payment to be paid to the Seller pursuant to this Agreement).
(b)    For the avoidance of doubt:
(i)    the fact that any Leakage is notified or comes to the attention of the Buyer on or prior to Closing but no Agreed Leakage Amount is agreed in respect of it pursuant to this Clause 4.3 shall not affect the Seller’s obligations or the Buyer’s rights pursuant to Clause 4.1 and Clause 4.4 or otherwise under this Agreement in respect of that Leakage; and

If any Leakage occurs, the Seller shall pay to the Buyer, or if so designated by the Buyer, to a Subsidiary Undertaking or a Parent Undertaking of the Buyer, an amount in cash equal, on a Euro-for-Euro basis to the amount of such Leakage, save that, for the avoidance of doubt, any amount already taken into account in the calculation of any Agreed Leakage Amount that has in turn been taken into account in the determination of the Closing Payment pursuant to Clause 4.3 shall not be recoverable under this Clause 4.4 after Closing.
4.5    Limitations
(a)    The liability of the Seller under this Clause 4 shall terminate on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing Date, save in respect of any claim for breach of Clause 4 of which the Buyer has given notice to the Seller before the expiration of such period containing reasonable details of the relevant breach and, if practical, of the calculation of the amounts claimed.
(b)    The aggregate liability of the Seller in respect of all claims under this Clause 4 shall not exceed the amount of Leakage.
4.6    Expert Determination of Leakage
(a)    In the event of any Leakage, without prejudice to Clause 4.3, the Seller and the Buyer shall endeavour to agree the amount payable pursuant to Clause 4.4 in relation to that Leakage on or before the date which is ten (10) Business Days following notice that such Leakage has taken place by the Buyer to the Seller or vice versa. Failing agreement on that amount of such Leakage, either the Buyer or the Seller may on or before the date which is ten (10) Business days following the expiration of such period refer the disagreement in relation to the Leakage for resolution to an independent accountant (the “Independent Leakage Expert”) appointed in accordance with Clause 4.6(b). The Independent Leakage Expert shall act as an expert and not an arbitrator. 

24

(b)    The Independent Leakage Expert shall be Binder Dijker Otte or, if Binder Dijker Otte refuses to act or, if at the time of such disagreement Binder Dijker Otte is no longer independent of each Party, the Independent Leakage Expert shall be an independent expert with appropriate qualifications and experience to be agreed by the Seller and the Buyer (or in the absence of such agreement on or before the date which is five (5) Business Days following Binder Dijker Otte’s refusal to act, a firm of chartered accountants designated by the then President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales or his or her deputy upon the application of the Buyer or the Seller). 
(c)    The Seller and the Buyer shall instruct the Independent Leakage Expert to consider only those items and amounts as to which the Buyer and the Seller have not resolved their disagreement in relation to the Leakage. The Independent Leakage Expert shall further be instructed to deliver to the Buyer and the Seller as promptly as practicable and in no event later than twenty (20) Business Days after its appointment a written report setting forth the resolution of any such disagreement concerning the relevant Leakage (the “Leakage Report”). The Leakage Report shall be final and binding upon the Parties in the absence of fraud or manifest error. 
(d)    The Independent Leakage Expert shall be entitled to interpret the provisions of this Agreement to the extent necessary to render its determinations hereunder. 
(e)    The Seller and the Buyer shall be entitled to make written submissions to the Independent Leakage Expert and shall cooperate with the Independent Leakage Expert with such information and assistance as it may reasonably require for purposes of reaching its decision, including the Buyer and Seller shall procure that the Independent Leakage Expert has reasonable access to all relevant books, records, financial statements, data and other relevant information and documentation and personnel of the Acquired Entities or the Seller Group, as applicable, and their respective auditors, subject to any confidentiality or privilege or privacy law limitations and compliance with any requirement imposed by applicable law. 
(f)    The Independent Leakage Expert shall have the right to seek such professional assistance and advice as he or she may reasonably require. 
(g)    The fees and other reasonable out-of-pocket documented disbursements of the Independent Leakage Expert shall be paid by the relevant Parties in inverse proportion to the determination by the Independent Leakage Expert of the overall amount of Leakage (which was the subject of the disagreement of the Leakage) to be reimbursed to the Buyer, compared to the amount of such Leakage asserted by the other Party.

The Seller has not become subject to any analogous proceedings, appointments or arrangements under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction.
2.    The Transfer Interests and the Acquired Entities
2.1    The Seller is the sole legal and beneficial owner of, and has lawful, good and marketable title to, all of the Transfer Interests free from all Encumbrances.

The Buyer shall give written notice to the Seller of the facts and matters that may give rise to a Seller’s Tax Claim as soon as practicable after the Buyer becomes aware of such facts and matters and in any event within thirty (30) Business Days after the Buyer becomes aware of such facts and matters. Failure to give such notice shall not in itself 

2

prevent the Buyer from bringing the relevant Claim, but the Seller or the Guarantor (as appropriate) shall not be liable to the Buyer in respect of such Claim if and to the extent that the amount of such Claim is increased, or is not reduced, as a result of such failure.
4.    Information
The Buyer acknowledges that the only representations and warranties made by the Seller and the Guarantor are the representations and warranties explicitly contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which the Seller or the Guarantor (as appropriate) is party and has explicitly provided representations and warranties thereunder and that no representation or warranty has been made as to the accuracy or completeness of any of the information provided in relation to the Seller Group or the Acquired Entities (including in the Data Room) (together, the “Seller Information”) by the Seller, the Guarantor, any other Seller Group Company, any Acquired Entity or any of their respective Agents and confirms that neither the Seller, the Guarantor, any other Seller Group Company nor any of their respective Agents shall be under any liability to the Buyer in the event that, for whatever reason, any Seller Information is or becomes inaccurate, incomplete or misleading in any way. Furthermore, any information provided in relation to the Seller Group or the Acquired Entities may have changed since it was provided or may change in the future and the Seller is not under the obligation to update any provided information. 
5.    Taxation
Neither the Seller nor the Guarantor shall be liable for any Claim to the extent that:
(a)    the Claim relates to a liability specific provision or reserve (including a provision for deferred Tax) for which has been made in the Locked Box Accounts or referred to in the notes to the Locked Box Accounts or has otherwise been taken into account in the preparation of or reflected in Locked Box Accounts, up to the amount of such specific provision or reserve;
(b)    the Claim arises or is increased as a result of any change in the rates of Taxation, or any imposition of Taxation (including the withdrawal of any extrastatutory concession) by the Taxation Authority or any change in any previously published interpretation of a Taxation Authority, in each case becoming effective retrospectively on or after the date of this Agreement;
(c)    the Claim arises as a result of any changes made after Closing in the accounting bases, policies, practices or treatment (including a change in accounting reference date) of any Buyer Group Company;
(d)    the Claim would not have arisen but for a cessation of trade by, or a change in the nature or conduct of the trade of, an Acquired Entity on or after Closing;
(e)    the Claim constitutes interest, penalties, a fine or a charge arising from a failure to pay Tax to a Taxation Authority promptly after the Seller has duly made a payment to the Buyer for the full amount necessary in respect of the relevant underlying liability, provided that such payment has been made by the Seller to the Buyer before the payment to such Taxation Authority becomes due;

3

(f)    the Claim constitutes interest, penalties, a fine, a charge or other loss or damage arising from the Buyer’s failure to immediately notify the Seller or the Guarantor (as appropriate) of a Claim of which it was duly aware;
(g)    the Claim arises in connection with any failure to make an instalment payment or the making of an insufficient instalment payment prior to Closing in respect of Tax in circumstances where the payments (if any) made prior to Closing would not subsequently have proved to have been insufficient but for the profits and gains earned by the relevant Acquired Entity after Closing proving to be materially greater than those expected at the date of the relevant instalment payment to be earned, accrued or received by the relevant Acquired Entity after Closing;
(h)    the Claim arises solely from, or is otherwise attributable to, any election, surrender, disclaimer or other action taken by any Acquired Entity (other than one which was taken into account in computing any provision for Tax in the Locked Box Accounts) after Closing unless such election, surrender, disclaimer or other action was required as a result of prior elections, surrenders, disclaimers or other actions taken by any Acquired Entity prior to Closing; 
(i)    the Claim arises solely from the failure or omission by any Acquired Entity after Closing to make any claim, election, surrender, disclaimer or to do any other thing which was taken into account in computing the provision or reserve for Tax in the Locked Box Accounts, unless such claim, election, surrender, disclaimer or such other thing were determined to potentially have a materially adverse Tax effect on the Acquired Entities; or
(j)    any relief or other deduction is available (or would have been available but for the failure by an Acquired Entity to make an election after Closing) to reduce or otherwise mitigate the liability of any Acquired Entity for Tax which is the subject of such Claim.
6.    Allowances, Provisions or Reserves
Neither the Seller nor the Guarantor shall be liable for any Claim to the extent that specific allowance, provision or reserve (including a provision for deferred Tax) has been made in the Locked Box Accounts for the matter giving rise to such Claim, up to the amount of such specific allowance, provision or reserve.
7.    Contingent Liability
Neither Seller nor the Guarantor shall be liable for any Claim based upon a liability which is contingent unless and until such contingent liability becomes an actual liability and is due and payable.
8.    Retrospective Legislation
Neither the Seller nor the Guarantor shall be liable for any Claim to the extent that the liability arises or is increased as a result of any legislation not in force at the date of this Agreement.

4

9.    Voluntary Acts or Omissions

10.    Duty to Mitigate
The Buyer shall procure that all reasonable steps are taken to avoid or mitigate any loss or damage which it may suffer as a result of a breach by the Seller or the Guarantor of this Agreement or as a result of any fact, matter, event or circumstance likely to give rise to a Claim.
11.    Loss Otherwise Compensated
Neither the Seller nor the Guarantor shall be liable for any Claim to the extent that: 
(a)    the matter giving rise to such Claim has been (or is capable of being) made good or is (or is capable of being) otherwise compensated for without Loss to any Buyer Group Company; or
(b)    the Claim is recoverable under any insurance policy without increase in premium and in any event following reasonable attempts by the Buyer (which, for the avoidance of doubt, would not require the Buyer to initiate any legal proceeding against the insurer).
12.    Recovery from Third Parties
Where the Buyer is entitled to recover from any other person an amount in respect of any matter relating to a Claim, the Buyer shall immediately notify the Seller and take reasonable steps as the Seller may reasonably require to enforce recovery of such amount without incurring costs (unless the Seller pays in advance for such costs and without the need to initiate legal proceedings). The Buyer shall keep the Seller informed of the progress of such recovery and shall provide copies of all relevant correspondence and documentation. Upon recovery of such amount the Buyer shall:
(a)    deduct the full amount recovered from the Claim (if the entitlement of the Buyer to recover arose before payment is made by the Seller under the Claim); or
(b)    repay to the Seller (net of any reasonable fees, costs and expenses not already paid for by the Seller) the lesser of such amount paid by the Seller to the Buyer under the Claim or the full amount recovered by the Buyer (if the entitlement to recover arose after payment had been made by the Seller under the Claim).
13.    Conduct of Claims
If any Buyer Group Company becomes aware of any matter which may result in a claim being brought against it by another person (a “Third Party Claim”), including a Taxation Authority Claim, which may lead to a Claim, the Buyer shall, and shall procure that each other Buyer Group Company shall:

5

(a)    make no admission of liability or settle or compromise the Third Party Claim without the prior consent in writing of the Seller such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed provided that it will take all reasonable action to mitigate any loss that may arise in respect of any resulting Claim;
(b)    for the duration of the Third Party Claim provide the Seller and its Agents with all reasonably material information relevant to the Third Party Claim (including reasonable access to premises and personnel at reasonable times with an advanced written notice and the right to examine and copy all relevant documents and records, at the Seller’s own cost and expense) and shall preserve all such information; and
(c)    consult with, give such information and assistance to and take such action as the Seller may reasonably request in order to avoid, defend, dispute, mitigate, appeal, settle or compromise the Third Party Claim, in each case at the Seller’s own cost and expense (even if any such cost or expense is due on a provisional basis under statutory rules), with the exception of any admission of liability or settlement or any other action which may result in an admission of liability of any Buyer Group Company or its Agents, which may only be taken with the prior written consent in writing of Buyer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
In addition, in relation to Taxation Authority Claims, the Buyer shall, and shall procure that each other Buyer Group Company shall:
(a)    promptly keep the Seller fully informed as to all material developments and provide to the Seller copies of all material correspondence and full and accurate notes of any non-written communications with a Taxation Authority; 
(b)    promptly notify the Seller of any intended material oral communication or any meeting with any Taxation Authority and allow the Seller or their representatives to participate in any such communication or meeting;
(c)    not make any material communication with a Taxation Authority without the prior written approval of the Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and
(d)    promptly provide for the Seller’s review any: (i) draft correspondence or other document to be sent to any Taxation Authority (in any event, at least ten (10) Business Days before the relevant proposed date of submission to such Taxation Authority); and (ii) any submissions or other documents to be filed with any court or other appellate body, and shall make any amendments to such correspondence, instructions, submissions or other documents as the Seller may request.
14.    Savings, Overprovisions, and Tax Refunds
(a)    If the Buyer or any Acquired Entity becomes aware that:
(i)    a Claim has given rise to any loss, allowance, credit, deduction or set off or any right to repayment of Tax (a “Tax Relief”) or a Tax Relief has arisen as a result of or in connection with the event which has 

6

given rise to a Claim (including where a Claim has arisen because a deduction or other Tax Relief assumed to be available in a period or part period or periods on or prior to Closing is in fact available only after Closing) (a “Saving”);
(ii)    any provision for Tax in the Locked Box Accounts has proved to be an overprovision or the amount of any repayment of Tax included (or which should have been included) in the Locked Box Accounts has proved to be an understatement (an “Overprovision”); or
(iii)    a right to repayment of Tax or an actual repayment of Tax to which any Acquired Entity becomes entitled or receives in respect of a period (or part period) on or before Closing or as a result of an event occurring on or before Closing, other than where such right or repayment was included as an asset in the Locked Box Accounts (a “Tax Refund”) has arisen,
the Buyer shall promptly give details of such Saving, Overprovision, or Tax Refund by written notice to the Seller (and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days.
(b)    Within fifteen (15) Business Days following notification by Buyer in accordance with paragraph 14(a), the Seller may request Buyer to instruct the relevant Acquired Entity’s auditors to determine in writing the extent of:
(i)    any Saving; 
(ii)    any Overprovision; or
(iii)    any Tax Refund, 
whether or not details have been notified to the Seller in accordance with this Schedule 6.
(c)    If such auditors determine that a Saving or Tax Refund has arisen, the Buyer shall, and shall procure that the relevant Acquired Entity and each Buyer Group Company shall, use all reasonable endeavours to obtain and maximise and utilise any such Saving or Tax Refund.
(d)    If such auditors determine that a Saving, Overprovision, or Tax Refund has arisen, an amount equal to the value (as so determined in writing) of such Saving, Overprovision, or Tax Refund shall:
(i)    first, be set off against any payment then due from the Seller under this Agreement or any Transaction Document; and
(ii)    secondly, to the extent there is an excess, be promptly refunded to the Seller.
15.    Tax Affairs
The Parties shall cooperate in good faith in conducting the Tax affairs of the Acquired Entities with respect to:

7

(a)    any accounting period ended (or treated for Tax purposes as ended) on or before Closing; and
(b)    the accounting period commencing prior to but expiring after Closing (the “Straddle Period”),
in each case including Tax affairs in relation to fiscal unity returns, Tax filings, and Tax audits.
16.    No Double Recovery
The Buyer shall not be entitled to recover damages or obtain payment, reimbursement, restitution or indemnity more than once in respect of any one shortfall, damage, deficiency, breach or other set of circumstances which gives rise to one or more Claims. For the purposes of this paragraph 16, recovery by any Acquired Entity shall be deemed to be recovery by the Buyer.
17.    Exclusion of Seller’s and Guarantor’s Limitations
Nothing in this Schedule 1 applies to a Claim that arises or is delayed as a result of fraud or dishonesty by the Seller, the Guarantor, any other Seller Group Company or any of their respective Agents.
