SECTION V

PREEMPTIVE RIGHT

 

Clause 5.01.  Notice of Intention to Transfer Shares.

 

If one of the Parties wishes to perform a total or partial Transfer of the Corporate Shares owned by it (that Party shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Selling Shareholder”) to any third party, including any Party -and provided that it is not one of the cases authorized under Clauses 4.03 or 4.04- such Selling Shareholder must report its decision in writing

 

15

 

(hereinafter referred to as the “Notice of Sale”) to the Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) and the remaining Parties (hereinafter referred to as the “Non-Selling Shareholders”).

 

Clause 5.02.  Content of Notice of Sale.

 

The Notice of Sale must be sent simultaneously to the Board of Directors and Non-Selling Shareholders, establishing in writing: (i) the number and details of the Shares belonging to the Selling Shareholder that it wishes to Transfer (hereinafter referred to as the “Offered Shares”); and (ii) the price in money and cash for each Corporate Share for which the Selling Shareholder is willing to perform the Transfer of the Offered Shares (hereinafter referred to as the “Price”).

 

Clause 5.03.  Offer of Sale.

 

(a)                                The Notice of Sale shall be considered, for all purposes, an irrevocable offer of sale of the Offered Shares made by the Selling Shareholder to the Non-Selling Shareholders for a term of thirty (30) calendar days (hereinafter referred to as the “Exercise Period”).

 

(b)                                Once the Notice of Sale has been provided, the Board of Directors shall immediately proceed to verify that all of the Non-Selling Shareholders have received it; otherwise, it shall notify them immediately.

 

(c)                                 The Exercise Period shall be the same for all Non-Selling Shareholders and shall be calculated as of the receipt by the Board of Directors of the Notice of Sale, regardless of the date on which each Non-Selling Shareholder has received the Notice of Sale.  The offer of sale issued by the Selling Shareholder shall be understood to be made at the Price.

 

Clause 5.04.  Preemptive Right.

 

(a)                                Non-Selling Shareholders shall have preemptive rights to purchase all, but no less than all, of the Offered Shares (hereinafter referred to as the “Preemptive Right”). If all of the Non-Selling Shareholders decide to exercise their respective Preemptive Rights (hereinafter referred to as the “Purchasing Shareholders”), the Offered Shares shall be distributed in proportion to their respective Corporate Shareholdings, excluding from the respective distribution the proportion corresponding to any of the Parties who are not Purchasing Shareholders. For clarification purposes, it is hereby stated that in this case, the provisions of Clause 5.08 (b) hereof shall not apply.

 

16

 

(b)                                Should one of the Non-Selling Shareholders decide to exercise their respective Preemptive Rights, the Offered Shares shall be distributed proportionally to their respective Corporate Shareholdings, excluding from the distribution the proportion corresponding to any of the Parties who are not Purchasing Shareholders. For clarification purposes, it is hereby stated that in this case, the provisions of Clause 5.08 (b) hereof shall not apply.

 

(c)                                 In all cases, the exercise of Preemptive Rights shall entail for the Purchasing Shareholder the obligation to purchase all of the Offered Shares and, therefore, the Offered Shares shall be understood to be jointly purchased by all of the Purchasing Shareholders, who shall jointly assume the obligation of payment of the Price.

 

Clause 5.05.  Notice of Purchase.

 

(a)                                The Non-Selling Shareholders must, within the Exercise Period, notify the Board of Directors in writing if they intend to exercise their Preemptive Rights with regard to the Offered Shares (such notice to the Board of Directors shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Notice of Purchase”).

 

(b)                                The Notice of Purchase shall entail, for the Purchasing Shareholder, full acceptance of the sale offer (for the Price) of the Offered Shares, made by the Selling Shareholder through the Notice of Sale.

 

(c)                                 Acceptance of the sale offer of the Shares Sold for the Price shall be understood to be performed as of the written notification of the Board of Directors, of the Notice of Purchase.  Failure to provide a written Notice of Purchase to the Board of Directors within the Exercise Period shall imply - with no admission of proof to the contrary - the waiver by the Non-Selling Shareholders of their Preemptive Rights established herein.

 

Clause 5.06.  Terms and Conditions of the Purchase and Sale of Offered Shares.

 

(a)                                The Notice of Purchase as established in Clause 5.05 above shall entail the execution of an Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of the Offered Shares, for the Price, by and between the Selling Shareholder, as party of the first part, and the Purchasing Shareholder/s, as party of the second part.

 

(b)                                Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Selling Shareholder and each of the Purchasing Shareholders, the Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of the Offered Shares shall be executed under the following terms:

 

17

 

(i) Purpose: the Offered Shares;

 

(ii) Price: The amount established as such in the Notice of Sale;

 

(iii) Method of Payment of the Price: on the due date, either in cash or by transfer to the bank account indicated by the Selling Shareholder five (5) business days prior to the date of completion;

 

(iv) Transfer and Delivery of Offered Shares: On the due date, the Selling Shareholder must provide to the Purchasing Shareholder, upon payment of the Price: (1) the certificates representing the Offered Shares, free from any restriction or encumbrance (with the exception of any restriction or encumbrance that may have been established on the Corporate Shares admitted by this Shareholders’ Agreement); and (2) the notice sent to the Corporation reporting (for the purposes established in Section 215 of Law 19,550) the transfer of the Offered Shares to the Purchasing Shareholder.

 

(v) Place, Date and Time of Completion: Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Selling Shareholder and the Purchasing Shareholder, the completion of the Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of the Offered Shares, understood as the fulfillment of all the obligations of the Selling Shareholder and the Purchasing Shareholder, must take place within (10) calendar days following the determination of the Price, at the office of a banking institution of the city of Buenos Aires and within banking hours allowing the payment of the Price as stated above.  In the event of a discrepancy or lack of agreement, completion shall take place at the registered legal address of the Corporation on the date and at the time determined by the Board of Directors.

 

Clause 5.07.  Non-Compliance with the Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of the Offered Shares.

 

(a)                                Default in the fulfillment of the obligations of the parties to the agreement for the purchase and sale of the Offered Shares shall occur by operation of law upon expiration of the agreed terms, without prior notice of any kind.  Once default by one of the parties has occurred, the complying party may choose to: (i) demand compliance with the specific obligation, plus a fine for each day of delay in compliance with the obligation, equal to 0.5% (five tenths of one percent) of the Price; or (ii) immediately declare the termination the agreement for the purchase and sale of the Offered Shares for reasons attributable to the non-complying party.

 

18

 

(b)                                Should the complying party choose to demand compliance as indicated in  § (a) (i) above, if the non-complying party is the Selling Shareholder, the fine accrued until the date of compliance with its obligation shall be deducted from the Price; if the non-complying party is the Purchasing Shareholder, the fine accrued until compliance with the obligation shall be added to the Price and must be paid in addition to it.

 

(c)                                 Should the complying party choose to declare the agreement for the purchase and sale of the Offered Shares terminated, the complying party shall be entitled to claim from the non-complying party, payment - within five (5) calendar days as of the date on which notice is provided of such decision - of an amount equal to thirty percent (30%) of the Price, by way of compensation and penalty.

 

Clause 5.08.  Failure to Exercise Preemptive Rights.

 

(a)                                If the Board of Directors does not receive - within the Exercise Period - any Notice of Purchase sent by any of the Non-Selling Shareholders, the Selling Shareholder shall be free to Transfer the Offered Shares to any interested third party at the Price, provided that such transfer is performed in terms substantially analogous to the ones established in the Notice of Sale. Should a Transfer be intended during the first five (5) years of the life of this Shareholders’ Agreement, the intended acquirer must previously and expressly agree, without any reservations, to submit to all of the provisions contained in Section II of this Shareholders’ Agreement and the transferring Party shall be jointly liable for any non-compliance by the acquiring party with its obligations under the abovementioned Section II of this Shareholders’ Agreement.

 

(b)                                In no case and under no circumstances shall a Selling Shareholder Transfer to third parties Shares with multiple votes. Therefore, prior to any Transfer, the Selling Shareholder shall request that the Corporation convert the Offered Shares to an equal amount of common Corporate shares with the right to one (1) vote per share, under the terms established in the by-laws.

 

(c)                                 If, for any reason, the Transfer of the Offered Shares to a third party does not occur within sixty (60) calendar days as of the expiration of the Exercise Period, the Selling Shareholder may only offer and/or perform a Transfer of Offered Shares, or any other Corporate Shares it may own, provided that it again grants Preemptive Rights to the rest of the Parties, and by the procedure described in Section V hereof.

 

19

 

Clause 5.09.  Intervention of the National Commission for the Protection of Competition

 

In the event that, due to the nature of the respective purchase of Corporate Shares, authorization by the National Commission for the Protection of Competition (or by the body by which it may be substituted or replaced in the future in the functions established by Law No. 25,156) is previously required, the terms and procedures for the Transfer of Corporate Shares shall be subject to the following changes:

 

(a)                                the full acceptance of the sale offer mentioned in Clause 5.05 (c) shall be understood to be provided subject to the condition subsequent that the respective approval be obtained from the National Commission for the Protection of Competition;

(c)                                 The Parties hereby undertake to perform, and to cause the Corporation to perform, as the case may be, all the actions, submissions and procedures required to obtain approval of the respective operation by the National Commission for the Protection of Competition or the respective body with similar powers, within the legal and regulatory terms established for such purpose;

 

(d)                                Should one of the Parties fail to comply with the obligation established in subsection (c) above, default shall not occur automatically in this case, but the complying Party must duly request that the non-complying Party fulfill the respective obligation within a term of no more than ten (10) days, under penalty of a daily fine of US$ 50,000; and

 

(e)                                 If none of the Non-Selling Shareholders exercise their Preemptive Rights, the term in which the Transfer of Offered Shares must occur to avoid reinitiation of the procedure established in this Section V shall be extended from sixty (60) days (as established in Clause 5.08 (c)) to one hundred and twenty (120) days calculated as of the expiration of the Exercise Period.
