EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Pursuant to Rule 13d-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, this Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) amends certain items of the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 14, 2019, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on July 16, 2019 and Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC on September 6, 2019 (as so amended, the “Original Schedule 13D”) relating to the Common Shares, $0.000017727 par value per share (the “Common Shares”), of Myovant Sciences Ltd. (the “Issuer”), which are beneficially owned by Roivant Sciences Ltd. (“Roivant” or the “Reporting Person”). This Amendment No. 3 amends the Original Schedule 13D on behalf of the Reporting Person to furnish the information set forth herein. Except as set forth below, all Items of the Original Schedule 13D remain unchanged. All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following:

 

Transaction Agreement

 

As previously announced, on September 6, 2019, Roivant and Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma Co., Ltd. (“Sumitomo”) entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding (the “MOU”) related to the creation of a strategic alliance between the companies (the “Strategic Alliance”).

 

As contemplated by the MOU, on October 31, 2019, Sumitomo, Roivant and certain of Roivant’s subsidiaries entered into a definitive agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) related to the creation of the Strategic Alliance.  Among other things, the Transaction Agreement provides that, subject to the conditions set forth therein: (i) Sumitomo will indirectly acquire all of the Common Shares of the Issuer that are beneficially owned by Roivant, along with the equity interests owned by Roivant in four of its other subsidiaries (collectively, the “Strategic Alliance Entities”), (ii) Roivant will grant Sumitomo options to purchase, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Transaction Agreement, Roivant’s existing equity interests in six other privately-held Roivant subsidiaries or affiliates and (iii) Roivant will issue to Sumitomo common shares of Roivant.  In exchange, the Transaction Agreement provides that Sumitomo will make a $3.0 billion upfront cash payment to Roivant upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement (collectively, the “Transactions”), subject to certain adjustments as set forth therein.

 

The Transaction Agreement contemplates that the Transactions will be subject to certain closing conditions, including expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act.  In addition, the closing of the Transactions is conditioned upon the effectiveness of certain governance provisions of the Issuer and, at or prior to the closing, Sumitomo having beneficial ownership over greater than 50% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Issuer.  The closing of the Transactions is also conditioned upon, among other things, Sumitomo having the ability to consolidate, for accounting purposes, all of the Strategic Alliance Entities, including the Issuer, at the closing of the Transactions.

 

Other than as described above, contemplated by the Transaction Agreement or as would occur upon consummation of the Transactions, Roivant does not have current plans or proposals that relate to or that would result in any of the transactions or other matters specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  Roivant may, at any time, review or reconsider its position with respect to the Issuer and reserves the right to develop or modify such plans or proposals. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Roivant does not intend to provide additional disclosures related to the matters related to the Transactions unless and until disclosure is required under applicable U.S. securities laws.

 

The foregoing description of the Transaction Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Transaction Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 7.04 to this Schedule 13D and which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

 

Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following:

 

The description of the Transaction Agreement and the Transactions set forth in Item 4 is incorporated by reference herein.

(b)          Roivant shall issue and sell to Sumitomo, free and clear of all Liens (other than restrictions on further transfer under applicable Bermuda Law and securities Laws and any Liens arising under the Roivant Amended Organizational Documents or Roivant Amended Shareholders Agreement), and Sumitomo shall acquire, the Roivant Equity;

 

(c)          Roivant shall effect the DrugOme Technology Transfer and the Digital Innovation Technology Transfer (each as defined in the Reorganization Plan) in accordance the Reorganization Plan;

Except as expressly provided under Section 8.07, Article X or Section 12.01, or as may be provided under the Escrow Agreement, under no circumstances will Sumitomo become obligated under this Agreement to pay any amounts in excess of the Purchase Price or to pay interest on any portion of the Purchase Price.

 

SECTION 2.02              Calculation of Closing Payment.

 

(a)          Subject to adjustment pursuant to this Article II, the purchase price payable to Roivant at the Closing shall be equal to the sum of (i) $3,000,000,000, minus (ii) the amount, if

 

31


 

any, by which the amount of Company Debt exceeds the Target Debt Amount, plus (iii) the amount of Approved Adjustments, minus (iv) the amount required at the Closing to discharge in full all Transaction Expenses that remain outstanding as of the Closing, minus (v) Change of Control Payments that remain outstanding as of the Closing, minus (vi) the Escrow Amount, minus (vii) the amount of Leakage as of immediately prior to the Closing, minus (viii) 50% of the Escrow Agent Fee (the items referred to in clauses (ii) through (viii), the “Adjusting Purchase Price Components” and the amount resulting from the sum of clauses (i) through (viii), the “Closing Payment”).

 

(b)          Roivant will deliver to Sumitomo, not less than five Business Days nor more than 10 Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, a statement (the “Pre-Closing Statement”) setting forth (i) the Closing Financial Estimates and (ii) Roivant’s good faith calculation of the Closing Payment, including Roivant’s good faith estimate of each of the Adjusting Purchase Price Components. The Pre-Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with (A) the books and records of the Contributed Entity Group and (B) the Accounting Principles.  During each day of the period following Sumitomo’s receipt of the Pre-Closing Statement, Roivant will on a timely basis provide to Sumitomo and its authorized Representatives reasonable access to all records (and employees and Representatives of Roivant who were involved in the preparation of the Pre-Closing Statement, including such access to facilities as is reasonably necessary to have such access to such employees), including Roivant’s or its Subsidiaries’ outside accountants and their work papers and other documents used in preparing such Closing Financial Estimates.  Roivant and Sumitomo shall use good faith efforts to resolve, at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, any disagreements between them concerning the computation of any of the items in the Pre-Closing Statement; provided, however, if the parties are unable to resolve any such disagreement, (x) no such dispute shall result in a delay of the Closing and (y) any item in dispute shall be deemed (solely for purposes of determining the Closing Payment, but subject in all respects to indemnification pursuant to Article X) to be equal to the applicable amount set forth in the Pre-Closing Statement delivered by Roivant pursuant to this Section 2.02(b).

SECTION 2.04              Treatment of Private Entity Equity Awards. Roivant and Sumitomo agree to the provisions set forth in Section 2.04 of the Roivant Disclosure Schedule.

 

SECTION 2.05              Withholding.

Any amount so withheld shall be remitted by Sumitomo or its Affiliates, as applicable, to the appropriate Governmental Authority as required by applicable statutes and ordinances. If either Sumitomo or Roivant becomes aware

 

32


 

that any such deduction or withholding is required, the Party that becomes so aware shall promptly notify the other Party and Sumitomo and Roivant shall each use commercially reasonable efforts so that any payment required to be made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made with no such deduction or withholding, including, to the extent commercially reasonable, by making any such payments through an Affiliate and, to the extent it is legally able to do so, by executing any form or certificate necessary to eliminate such deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as being paid to the Persons from whom such amounts were so withheld, and Sumitomo or its Affiliates, as applicable, shall provide (or shall cause to be provided) notice of the amounts so withheld to the Persons from whom such amounts were so withheld and to the extent the amount of such deduction or withholding arises or is increased as a result of an assignment by Sumitomo pursuant to Section 12.05 for which Roivant does not consent, Sumitomo shall cause to be paid such additional amounts as are necessary to cause the payee to receive the amount the payee would have received (without regard to this sentence) had the original payment been made by Sumitomo.

No Specified CEG Benefit Plan and, to Roivant’s Knowledge, no Public Entity Group Benefit Plan provides benefits to any individual who is not a current or former Worker (or the dependent or beneficiary thereof).

 

(c)                               No member of the Contributed Entity Group, and no ERISA Affiliate thereof, maintains, sponsors, participates in, contributes to, or is obligated to contribute to, nor has any such member of the Contributed Entity Group or any ERISA Affiliate contributed to, participated in, maintained or sponsored, or been required to contribute to or participate in or incurred any Liability (contingent or otherwise) with respect to, and no Benefit Plan is any of the following: (i) an employee pension benefit plan (within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA), which is or has been subject to Section 412 of the Code or Title IV of ERISA, (ii) a multiemployer plan (within the meaning of Section 3(37) or 4001(a)(3) of ERISA), (iii) a single employer pension plan (within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA) for which a member of the Contributed Entity Group could incur Liability under Section 4063, Section 4064, Section 4069 or Section 4212(c) of ERISA or (iv) a “multiple employer plan” within the meaning of Section 201(a) of ERISA or Section 413(c) of the Code.

(d)                             Except as required under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), or similar state Law, no member of the Contributed Entity Group has any obligation for retiree or post-employment medical, disability or life insurance benefits to any current or former Worker or Transferred Worker. With respect to any “group health

plan” within the meaning of Section 5000(b)(1) of the Code, each member of the Contributed Entity Group and each ERISA Affiliate thereof has complied, in all material respects with: (i) the notice and continuation requirements of Section 4980B of the Code, COBRA, Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and the regulations thereunder, and any similar state Law and (ii) the applicable requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended, and the regulations thereunder. No Contributed Entity Group Benefit Plan (i) that provides health insurance or medical coverage is self-funded or self-insured or (ii) is funded through a “welfare benefit fund” as defined in Section 419(e) of the Code, and no benefits under any Contributed Entity Group Benefit Plan are provided through a voluntary employees’ beneficiary association (within the meaning of subsection 501(c)(9) of the Code) or a supplemental unemployment benefit plan (within the meaning of Section 501(c)(17) of the Code).

 

(e)                               Each Benefit Plan is and has been established, maintained, operated and administered in compliance with its terms and the requirements of all applicable Laws in all material respects. Each member of the Contributed Entity Group has performed all material obligations required to be performed by it under, is not in default under or in violation of, and to Roivant’s Knowledge there is no default or violation by any party to, any Benefit Plan.  No Action is pending or, to Roivant’s Knowledge, threatened with respect to any Contributed Entity Group Benefit Plan (other than routine claims for benefits in the Ordinary Course of Business) and no fact or event exists that could reasonably be expected to give rise to any material Action, including, any audit or investigation by the IRS, the Department of Labor, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or any other Governmental Authority.  No non-exempt “prohibited transaction” (as defined in Sections 406 and 408 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) or breaches of any of the duties imposed on “fiduciaries” (within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA) by ERISA have occurred with respect to any Benefit Plan which could subject a member of the Contributed Entity Group to any material tax or penalty under Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502 of ERISA.

 

(f)                                Each Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has timely received a favorable determination or opinion letter from the IRS, upon which it can rely, as to its qualified status and the tax exempt status of each trust established in connection with any such Benefit Plan which is intended to be exempt from federal income taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code and, to Roivant’s Knowledge, no fact or event has occurred since the date of such determination letter which has adversely affected or which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect such qualified or exempt status.

 

(g)                              All employer or employee contributions, premiums or payments required by applicable Law or pursuant to the terms of any Contributed Entity Group Benefit Plan to be made with respect to any Contributed Entity Group Benefit Plan, have been timely paid in full, or, to the extent not yet due, have been accrued in the Interim Balance Sheet of each Strategic Alliance Entity to the extent required by GAAP, in each case, in all material respects. No member of the Contributed Entity Group is liable for any material payment to any trust or other fund or to any Governmental Authority with respect to unemployment compensation benefits, workers compensation, social security, retirement fund, provident fund, pension fund or other benefits or obligations for current or former Workers (other than routine payments to be made to the Governmental Authority in the Ordinary Course of Business that are not yet due and payable).

 

52


 

(h)                              There does not now exist, and there are no circumstances that could reasonably be expected to result in, any Controlled Group Liability, as hereinafter defined, that would be a Liability of any member of the Contributed Entity Group following the Closing. For purposes of this paragraph, “Controlled Group Liability” means any and all Liabilities, contingent or otherwise (i) under Title IV of ERISA or by reason of at any time being treated as a single employer under Section 414 of the Code with any other Person, (ii) under Section 302 of ERISA, (iii) under Sections 412 and 4971 of the Code, (iv) resulting from a violation of the continuation coverage requirements of Section 601 et seq. of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code or the group health plan requirements of Sections 601 et seq. of the Code and Section 601 et seq. of ERISA or (v) in each case, under corresponding or similar provisions of foreign Laws or regulations.

 

(i)                                  Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the Transactions, including the Pre-Closing Reorganization, will (either alone or in conjunction with any other event, whether contingent or otherwise) (i) result in any payment becoming due under any Contributed Entity Group Benefit Plan, (ii) increase any benefits otherwise payable under any Contributed Entity Group Benefit Plan, (iii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment, funding or vesting of any payments or benefits under any Contributed Entity Group Benefit Plan or to any Governmental Authority in respect of any current or former Workers or Transferred Workers, (iv) result in the forgiveness in whole or in part of, or accelerate the repayment date of, any outstanding loans that exist under or as part of any Contributed Entity Group Benefit Plan or (v) result in any material breach or violation of, or a default under, any Contributed Entity Group Benefit Plan.

 

(j)                                  Section 4.13(j) of the Roivant Disclosure Schedule sets forth a complete and correct list of each material Specified CEG Benefit Plan that is subject to the Law of a jurisdiction other than the United States (whether or not United States Law also applies) and covering Workers or Transferred Workers providing services primarily outside the United States (such Benefit Plan and any other such Benefit Plan of the Contributed Entity Group, regardless of whether set forth in Section 4.13(j) of the Roivant Disclosure Schedule, each, a “Foreign Plan”). Without limiting the generality of subsections (a) through (i) above: (i) each Foreign Plan required to be registered has been timely and properly registered and has been maintained in good standing with the applicable regulatory authorities, in all material respects, (ii) each Foreign Plan has been established, maintained, funded and administered in all material respects in accordance with its terms and Law and (iii) no Foreign Plan is a defined benefit plan (as defined in ERISA, whether or not subject to ERISA) or has any material unfunded or underfunded Liabilities.

 

(k)                              With respect to each Equity Award issued by a member of the Contributed Entity Group, a member of the Option Entity Group or a member of the Roivant Remaining Group (to the extent such member of the Roivant Remaining Group has issued Equity Awards to a Worker or Transferred Worker): (i) such Equity Award is evidenced by an award agreement, in the form Made Available, other than differences with respect to the number of shares covered thereby, the exercise price, regular vesting schedule and expiration date applicable thereto and, except for such differences, no agreement related to any Equity Award includes material terms that are inconsistent with, or in addition to, such forms, (ii) such Equity Award was duly authorized no later than the date on which the grant of such Equity Award was by its terms to be effective by all necessary corporate action in accordance with the terms of the applicable listed equity plan and all other

 

53


 

applicable Laws; (iii) such grant was made in accordance with the terms of the applicable listed equity incentive plan and all other applicable Laws, (iv) each Equity Award intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code, if any, so qualifies, (v) all such Equity Awards have been validly issued and properly approved in compliance with all applicable Law and recorded on the appropriate financial statements of the issuing Entity in accordance with GAAP and (vi) each such Equity Award that represents a stock option was granted with an exercise price for purposes of Section 409A of the Code that is no less than the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant and is otherwise exempt from Section 409A of the Code.

 

(l)                                  Section 4.13(l) of the Roivant Disclosure Schedule sets forth, as of September 30, 2019 (the “Equity Awards Schedule”), for each member of the Contributed Entity Group and the Option Entity Group, and for each member of the Roivant Remaining Group (to the extent such member of the Roivant Remaining Group has issued Equity Awards to a Worker or Transferred Worker), each outstanding Equity Award and, in each case, on an individual participant basis (i) the Entity to which such Equity Award relates, (ii) the grant date, the number and class of equity interests subject to such Equity Award, (iii) the equity plan and form pursuant to which such Equity Award was granted, (iv) the vesting conditions and, if applicable, settlement schedule of such Equity Award, including whether or not such Equity Award is subject to accelerated vesting in connection with a change in control and (v) if applicable, the exercise price and expiration date of such Equity Award. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that employees are added to, or removed from, the “Specified Employee Schedule” or the “Key Employee” schedule, as contemplated by the Reorganization Plan, such person’s Equity Awards will correspondingly be added to or removed from the Equity Awards Schedule.

(e)                               Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 4.15 shall apply to Intellectual Property.

 

SECTION 4.16                                           Intellectual Property; Data Protection.

 

(a)                               Section 4.16(a) of the Roivant Disclosure Schedule accurately and completely sets forth as of the Agreement Date: all (i) Registered Company IP, indicating for each such item, as applicable, the application or registration number, and date and jurisdiction of filing or issuance, (ii) material unregistered Trademarks included in the Company Controlled IP, (iii) Product Candidates, (iv) material Software included in the Company Controlled IP, (v) other Company Controlled IP material to the Business, other than trade secrets, and (vi) the identity of the current applicant for each item of Registered Company IP (if applicable) and owner.

 

(b)                              A member of the Contributed Entity Group is (or will be after the Pre-Closing Reorganization) the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to each material item of Company Owned IP and each material IT Asset in which a member of the Contributed Entity Group has (as of the Agreement Date or as of the Closing) or purports to have an ownership interest (whether solely or jointly with one or more other persons), free and clear of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens. A member of the Contributed Entity Group has a written

 

57


 

Contract granting such Entity a valid license to use the Company Licensed IP (or, in the case of the Company Controlled IP, a valid exclusive license) in connection with the operation of the Business as currently conducted, subject only to the terms of the Company IP Contracts.

 

(c)                               The Company Owned IP is (i) subsisting, and, to Roivant’s Knowledge, valid and enforceable; and (ii) not subject to any outstanding Order adversely affecting any member of the Contributed Entity Group’s use thereof or rights thereto, or that would impair the validity or enforceability thereof. To Roivant’s Knowledge, the Registered Company IP is currently in material compliance with any material formal legal requirements necessary to record, perfect and maintain the Contributed Entity Group’s interest therein and the chain of title thereof. As of the Agreement Date, Section 4.16(c) of the Roivant Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true and complete list of all filings and payments that are required to be made prior to June 30, 2020, to maintain the validity and enforceability of the Registered Company IP and the Contributed Entity Group’s interest therein. There is no Action pending, or, to Roivant’s Knowledge, asserted or threatened, and, to Roivant’s Knowledge, no valid basis exists for any Action against any member of the Contributed Entity Group concerning any Product Candidate or the ownership, validity, registrability, enforceability or use of, any material Company IP.

 

(d)                             The Company IT Assets perform materially in accordance with their documentation and functional specifications and otherwise as required in connection with, the operation of the business as currently conducted. Each member of the Contributed Entity Group has exercised commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the Company IT Assets in good working condition. Since January 1, 2016, the Company IT Assets have not materially malfunctioned or failed and do not contain any viruses, worms, trojan horses, bugs, faults or other devices, errors, contaminants or effects that (i) significantly disrupt or adversely affect the functionality of any Company IT Assets, except as disclosed in their documentation or (ii) enable or assist any Person to access without authorization any Company IT Assets. Each member of the Contributed Entity Group has implemented reasonable backup, security and disaster recovery technology consistent with industry practices, and, to Roivant’s Knowledge, no Person has gained unauthorized access to any Company IT Assets. Except for Public Software as set forth in Section 4.16(d) of the Roivant Disclosure Schedule, no Public Software forms part of or is incorporated into (including by linking in a fashion that triggers any of clauses (A), (B), (C) or (D) of the following sentence of this provision), in whole or in part, any Software included in the Company IT Assets. With respect to any such Software, no use, incorporation, or distribution of such Public Software by the Contributed Entity Group (A) requires the licensing, disclosure or distribution of any source code (other than source code that is a part of such Public Software), Company IT Assets or Company IP to licensees or any other Person, (B) prohibits or limits the receipt of consideration in connection with licensing, sublicensing or distributing any Software owned by the Company included in the Company IT Assets, (C) except as specifically permitted by Law, allows any Person to decompile, disassemble or otherwise reverse-engineer any Software owned by the Company included in the Company IT Assets or (D) requires the licensing of any Software owned by the Company included in the Company IT Assets to any other Person for the purpose of making derivative works. Each member of the Contributed Entity Group is in material compliance with all of the terms and conditions of any Public Software License Agreement applicable to any Public Software used by the Roivant Group in the operation of the Business as currently conducted or as conducted since January 1, 2016.

 

58


 

(e)                               Each member of the Contributed Entity Group, the Product Candidates, the operation of the Business as currently conducted or as conducted since January 1, 2016, and the use of the Company Owned IP and Company IT Assets in connection with any of the foregoing does not materially infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate, and has not, since January 1, 2016, materially infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated, the Intellectual Property rights of any other Person. There is no Action pending or, to Roivant’s Knowledge, asserted or threatened against any member of the Contributed Entity Group or the Business concerning any of the foregoing and, to Roivant’s Knowledge, no valid basis exists for any such Action nor, to Roivant’s Knowledge, has any member of the Contributed Entity Group received any notification that a license under any other Person’s Intellectual Property is or may be required in connection with the foregoing. To Roivant’s Knowledge, no Person is engaging, or has engaged, since January 1, 2016, in any activity that infringes, misappropriates or otherwise violates any Company Owned IP, and there is no Action pending, asserted or threatened by the Company or any member of the Contributed Entity Group against any other Person concerning any of the foregoing.

 

(f)                                No Worker or Transferred Worker is in material default or breach of any term of any non-disclosure agreement, assignment of invention agreement or similar agreement relating to the protection, ownership, development, use or transfer of Company IP, or, to Roivant’s Knowledge, any other Intellectual Property. To Roivant’s Knowledge, to the extent that any material Intellectual Property has been conceived, developed or created for the Contributed Entity Group or the Business by any other Person (including any Worker or Transferred Worker), a member of the Contributed Entity Group, as applicable, has or prior to the Closing will have the benefit of an executed valid and enforceable written agreement with such Person with respect thereto transferring to such member of the Contributed Entity Group, as applicable, all of such Person’s right, title and interest therein and thereto by operation of law or by valid written assignment. No Person who provides or, since January 1, 2016, has provided, services to any member of the Contributed Entity Group as an officer, director, advisor, employee or contractor has any claim, license, right (whether or not currently exercisable) or interest in, to or under any material Company Owned IP.

 

(g)                              The Roivant Group has taken all reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality and value of, and otherwise protect and enforce its rights, in all material confidential information used or held for use in connection with the operation of the Business (“Confidential IP Information”). All material disclosure of Confidential IP Information by or on behalf of a member of the Roivant Group to any third party has been pursuant to the terms of a valid written Contract or other legally binding duty of confidentiality between such member of the Roivant Group and such third party that requires such third party to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential IP Information. All material use, disclosure or appropriation by or on behalf of a member of the Roivant Group of Confidential IP Information not owned thereby has been in material compliance with any applicable legal obligations thereof to the discloser of such Confidential IP Information. All officers, directors, employees, independent contractors and agents of each member of the Roivant Group having access on behalf of the Roivant Group to Confidential IP Information or confidential information of any business partners of the Contributed Entity Group or the Business have executed and delivered to such member of the Roivant Group a valid written Contract or are otherwise legally bound by a duty of confidentiality requiring the protection of such Confidential IP Information or confidential information (but in the case of confidential information of the customers and business partners thereof, only to the extent the

 

59


 

member of the Contributed Entity Group has confidentiality obligations to such business partners). Without limiting the foregoing, to Roivant’s Knowledge, (i) no officer, director, employee, independent contractor or agent of any member of the Contributed Entity Group has misappropriated any trade secrets of any other Person in the course of performance as an officer, director, employee, independent contractor or agent thereof and (ii) no officer, director, employee, independent contractor or agent of any member of the Contributed Entity Group is in material default or breach of any term of any Contract relating in any way to the protection, ownership, development, use or transfer of the Company IP, or any other Intellectual Property.

 

(h)                              As of the Closing Date, each member of the Contributed Entity Group will have all of the rights to the Company IP, to the same extent they would have had if the Transactions (except for the Pre-Closing Reorganization) had not occurred; provided that losses or other changes in rights to the Company IP to the extent attributable to actions or inactions of Sumitomo shall not constitute a breach of this Section 4.16(h). There are no material royalties, honoraria, fees or other payments payable by a member of the Contributed Entity Group to any Person (other than salaries payable to Workers or Transferred Workers not contingent on or related to use of their work product) as a result of the ownership, use, possession, license-in, license-out, sale, marketing, advertising or disposition of any Company IP thereby (excluding any royalties or other amounts called for by any Company IP Contract), and no action of the Roivant Remaining Group in the consummation of the Transactions will result in any such royalties, honoraria, fees or other payments being payable by Sumitomo pursuant to a Contract (other than this Agreement and/or the Ancillary Documents) to which Sumitomo was a party prior to the Closing. No action of the Roivant Remaining Group in the course of consummation of the Transactions will result in (i) the creation of any Lien on any Company IP or any Intellectual Property that is owned by or licensed to Sumitomo or any of its Affiliates at or prior to the Closing or (ii) Sumitomo or any of its Affiliates (other than members of the Contributed Entity Group after the Closing) being bound by or subject to any non-compete or licensing obligation, covenant not to sue, or other restriction on the operation or scope of its business, which Sumitomo or its Affiliates (prior to the Closing) were not bound by or subject to prior to the Closing. Following the Closing, except as expressly identified in Section 4.16(h) of the Roivant Disclosure Schedule, all Company Owned IP will be transferable, alienable or licensable by a member of the Contributed Entity Group to the same extent as before the Closing.

 

(i)                                  Except as set forth in Section 4.16(i) of the Roivant Disclosure Schedule, no university, military, educational institution, research center, Governmental Authority, or other organization (each, a “R&D Sponsor”) has sponsored research and development conducted in connection with the Business, or has any claim of right to, ownership of or other Lien on any Company IP.

 

(j)                                  The use, collection, storage and dissemination of any Personal Data by or on behalf of a member of the Contributed Entity Group has not violated, and does not violate, any applicable Laws, such Entity’s privacy, security and breach notification contractual obligations, its own data privacy, data protection, and data security policies, and procedures, consents and authorizations pursuant to which such Personal Data has been disclosed to such Entity, or any Person’s right of privacy or publicity, in each case, in any material respect. Without limiting the foregoing each member of the Contributed Entity Group has ensured that all appropriate material consents (as may be required by applicable Laws) have been obtained from data subjects or other

 

60


 

persons whose Personal Data is processed thereby. Each member of the Contributed Entity Group has further obtained all material rights and licenses necessary to process Personal Data in the manner it is now processed thereby or by any Person on its behalf. There is no Action pending, asserted in writing or, to Roivant’s Knowledge, threatened in writing against a member of the Contributed Entity Group alleging a violation of any such Laws or any Person’s right of privacy or publicity, and, to Roivant’s Knowledge, no valid basis exists for any such Action. No member of the Contributed Entity Group has (i) received any written communications from or (ii) to Roivant’s Knowledge, been the subject of any investigation by a data protection authority or any other Governmental Authority, in each of (i) and (ii), regarding the use, disclosure, or other processing of Personal Data. The execution and performance of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents (which, for purposes of this Section 4.16(j) shall not include the Strategic Cooperation Agreement) will not materially breach or otherwise cause any material violation on the part of the Contributed Entity Group of any applicable Laws or any data privacy, protection, or security policies of the Contributed Entity Group in effect or any consents and authorizations given to a member of the Contributed Entity Group for processing such information. To the extent applicable, each member of the Contributed Entity Group has obtained consent for the material transfer of Personal Data to countries outside of the European Union or other applicable jurisdictions or implemented other legal data transfer mechanisms. With respect to all Personal Data gathered or accessed by or on behalf of each member of the Contributed Entity Group, such Entity has at all times taken all reasonable measures to ensure that such information is protected against loss and unauthorized access, use, modification, disclosure or other misuse. To Roivant’s Knowledge, no Person has gained or attempted to gain unauthorized access to, engaged or attempted to engage in unauthorized processing, disclosure, use, or loss of, or accidentally or unlawfully destroyed, lost or altered (i) any Personal Data related to the business of a member of the Contributed Entity Group, or held thereby or by any other Person on its behalf; or (ii) any databases, computers, servers, storage media (e.g., backup tapes), network devices, or other devices or systems that process Personal Data related to the business of and owned or maintained by a member of the Contributed Entity Group, its respective personal data processors, customers, subcontractors or vendors, or any other Persons on its behalf. No member of the Contributed Entity Group has notified or, as of the Agreement Date plans to notify, either voluntarily or as required by any applicable Laws, any affected individual, any third party, any Governmental Authority, or the media of any breach or non-permitted use or disclosure of Personal Data of the Contributed Entity Group. No member of the Contributed Entity Group does, or permits any third party to, sell, rent, or otherwise make available to any Person any Personal Data, except as stated in the applicable written privacy policies and in compliance with applicable Laws.

 

SECTION 4.17                                           Taxes.

 

(a)                               Unpaid Taxes. The Interim Balance Sheet of each member of the Contributed Entity Group reflects all material unpaid Taxes of such Entity for periods (or portions of periods) through the date of such Interim Balance Sheet. As of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, no member of the Contributed Entity Group has any Liability for material unpaid Taxes accruing after the date of the Interim Balance Sheet, other than Taxes accruing in the Ordinary Course of Business conducted after the date of the Interim Balance Sheet.  Proper provision has been made in the Interim Balance Sheet for deferred taxation in accordance with GAAP.  Each member of the Contributed Entity Group has duly and timely filed with the appropriate Governmental Authorities all Tax Returns required to be filed by its members and all

 

61


 

such Tax Returns are true, correct and complete in all material respects. All material Taxes of each member of the Contributed Entity Group (whether or not shown as due and owing on any such Tax Return) have been timely paid or properly reflected on the Interim Balance Sheet.

 

(b)                              FIRPTA.  No member of the Contributed Entity Group is or has been a United States real property holding corporation within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code during the applicable period specified in Section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Code or any similar provisions of foreign Law.

(c)                               Tax Sharing Agreements. There are no material Tax sharing or Tax allocation agreements or similar arrangements, including indemnity arrangements (excluding customary Tax indemnification provisions in commercial Contracts not primarily relating to Taxes) (“Tax Sharing Agreements”), with respect to or involving a member of the Contributed Entity Group (other than any such agreement by and among Roivant and any of its Subsidiaries (including any member of the Contributed Entity Group) or between two or more members of the Contributed Entity Group), and, after the Closing Date, no member of the Contributed Entity Group will be bound by any such Tax Sharing Agreements or have any Liability thereunder for amounts due in respect of Pre-Closing Tax Periods (other than any such agreement solely between members of the Contributed Entity Group).

 

(d)                             Post-Closing Items. No member of the Contributed Entity Group will be required to include any material item of income in, or exclude any material item of deduction from, taxable income for any Post-Closing Tax Period as a result of any (i) prepaid amount received on or prior to the Closing Date, (ii) cancellation of Indebtedness of a member of the Contributed Entity Group occurring on or prior to the Closing Date, (iii) installment sale or open transaction disposition occurring on or prior to the Closing Date, (iv) “closing agreement” as described in Section 7121 of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local, or foreign Law) entered into on or prior to the Closing Date, (v) change in method of accounting made or use of an improper method of accounting for a taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date or (vi) intercompany transaction occurring on or prior to the Closing Date or excess loss account in effect on or prior to the Closing Date described in the Treasury Regulations under Section 1502 of the Code or any similar provision of state, local, or foreign Law.

 

(e)                               Binding Agreements. Roivant has Made Available to Sumitomo all consents or clearances, agreements or settlements with any taxing Governmental Authority entered into as of the Agreement Date or as of the Closing Date that would reasonably be expected to affect material Taxes of any member of the Contributed Entity Group in any Post-Closing Tax Period.

 

(f)                                Tax Shelters.  No member of the Contributed Entity Group has entered into any transaction identified as a “reportable transaction” for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4(b) or any similar provision of state, local, or foreign Law.

that ended on or after March 31, 2015 and prior to the Agreement Date and indicates any such Tax Return for which an audit has been completed. All such Tax Returns were correct and complete in all material respects and were prepared in substantial compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. No member of the Contributed Entity Group is subject to Tax in any country other than the jurisdiction of its incorporation (or, in the case of the Strategic Alliance Entities (except Spirovant) and the Company, the United Kingdom) by virtue of having a “permanent establishment” (within the meaning of an applicable Tax treaty) or other place of business in such country. Roivant has Made Available to Sumitomo complete and accurate copies of all Tax audit reports, letter rulings, technical advice memoranda, and similar documents issued by any Governmental Authority relating to Taxes of any Contributed Entity Group member, in each case, to the extent relevant to Taxes in any taxable period for which the statute of limitations has not expired.

(k)                              Audits, Investigations or Claims. No unresolved deficiency for material Taxes with respect to any member of the Contributed Entity Group has been assessed in writing by a Governmental Authority. There are no pending Actions for or relating to any Liability in respect of material Taxes of a member of the Contributed Entity Group, and there are no matters under discussion with any Governmental Authority with respect to Taxes that would reasonably be likely to result in an additional Liability for material Taxes with respect to such member of the Contributed Entity Group. No member of the Contributed Entity Group has received from any federal, state, local, or non-U.S. taxing authority (including jurisdictions where the Contributed Entity Group members have not filed Tax Returns) any (i) notice indicating an intent to open an audit or other review, (ii) request for information related to Tax matters, or (iii) notice of deficiency or proposed adjustment for any amount of Tax proposed, asserted, or assessed by any taxing authority against Contributed Entity Group, in each case with respect to material Taxes.

(m)                          International Boycotts. No member of the Contributed Entity Group has participated in and or is participating in an international boycott within the meaning of Code Section 999.

 

(n)                              Withholding.

(o)                              Other Entity Liability. No member of the Contributed Entity Group has any Liability for the material Taxes of any other Person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, its current or prior Subsidiaries) other than any other member of the Contributed Entity Group (i) under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502–6 (or any similar provision of state, local, or foreign Law), or as a transferee, successor or, in each of the following cases, other than pursuant to a Contract the primary purpose of which is not the sharing of Taxes, by Contract, under indemnity obligation or otherwise, or (ii) as a result of the liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of the stock or assets of any current or prior Subsidiary.  No member of the Contributed Entity Group has been a member of an affiliated group filing a consolidated federal income Tax Return or any similar group for state, local or foreign Tax purposes (other than a group consisting solely of members of the Contributed Entity Group).

64


 

such term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.280G-1) is reasonably likely to be characterized as an “excess parachute payment” (as such term is defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code).  No member of the Contributed Entity Group has Liability to reimburse, gross up or otherwise pay the Taxes, interest or Tax related penalties imposed under Section 4999 of the Code on behalf of any Person.

(f)                                The use, collection, storage and dissemination of any Personal Data by or on behalf of a member of the Roivant Remaining Group has not violated, and does not violate, any applicable Laws, such Entity’s privacy, security and breach notification contractual obligations, its own data privacy, data protection, and data security policies, and procedures, consents and authorizations pursuant to which such Personal Data has been disclosed to such Entity, or any Person’s right of privacy or publicity, in each case, in any material respect. Without limiting the foregoing, each member of the Roivant Remaining Group has ensured that all appropriate material consents (as may be required by applicable Laws) have been obtained from data subjects or other persons whose Personal Data is processed thereby. Each member of the Roivant Remaining Group has further obtained all material rights and licenses necessary to process Personal Data in the manner it is now processed thereby or by any Person on its behalf. There is no Action pending, asserted in writing or, to Roivant’s Knowledge, threatened in writing against a member of the Roivant Remaining Group alleging a violation of any such Laws or any Person’s right of privacy or publicity, and, to Roivant’s Knowledge, no valid basis exists for any such Action. No member of the Roivant Remaining Group has (i) received any written communications from or (ii) to Roivant’s Knowledge, been the subject of any investigation by a data protection authority or any other Governmental Authority, in each of (i) and (ii), regarding the use, disclosure, or other processing of Personal Data. The execution and performance of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents (which, for purposes of this Section 5.08(f) shall not include the Strategic Cooperation Agreement) will not materially breach or otherwise cause any material violation on the part of the Roivant Remaining Group of any applicable Laws or any data privacy, protection, or security policies of the Roivant Remaining Group in effect or any consents and authorizations given to a member of the Roivant Remaining Group for processing such information. To the extent applicable, each member of the Roivant Remaining Group has obtained all consents materially necessary for the transfer of Personal Data to countries outside of the European Union or other applicable jurisdictions or implemented other legal data transfer mechanisms. With respect to all Personal Data gathered or accessed by or on behalf of each member of the Roivant Remaining Group, such Entity has at all times taken all reasonable measures to ensure that such information

is protected against loss and unauthorized access, use, modification, disclosure or other misuse. To Roivant’s Knowledge, no Person has gained or attempted to gain material unauthorized access to, engaged or attempted to engage in material unauthorized processing, disclosure, use, or loss of, or accidentally or unlawfully materially destroyed, lost or altered (i) any Personal Data or other confidential information related to the business of a member of the Roivant Remaining Group, or held thereby or by any other Person on its behalf; or (ii) any databases, computers, servers, storage media (e.g., backup tapes), network devices, or other devices or systems that process Personal Data or other confidential information related to the business of and owned or maintained by a member of the Roivant Remaining Group, its respective personal data processors, customers, subcontractors or vendors, or any other Persons on its behalf. No member of the Roivant Remaining Group has notified or, as of the Agreement Date plans to notify, either voluntarily or as required by any applicable Laws, any affected individual, any third party, any Governmental Authority, or the media of any breach or non-permitted use or disclosure of Personal Data of the Roivant Remaining Group.

SECTION 5.09                                           Environmental Matters. No member of the Roivant Remaining Group is in material violation of, or has materially violated since January 1, 2016, any Environmental Law or any Permit issued thereunder. None of the properties currently or formerly leased, owned, or operated by a member of the Roivant Remaining Group (including soils and surface and ground waters) is, or has been since January 1, 2016, contaminated with any Hazardous Substance which has resulted, or would reasonably be expected to result, in the imposition of any material obligation under Environmental Law for any member of the Roivant Remaining Group to conduct or pay the costs of any corrective or remedial action at such real property. No member of the Roivant Remaining Group is actually, potentially, or allegedly liable under Environmental Law for any off-site contamination by Hazardous Substances as a result of releases of such Hazardous Substances, nor, to Roivant’s Knowledge, is there any reasonable basis for any such liability under Environmental Law. No member of the Roivant Remaining Group has transported or arranged for the transport of Hazardous Substances for disposal which, to Roivant’s Knowledge, is or may become the subject of any Action under Environmental Law. No member of the Roivant Remaining Group has retained or assumed, by Contract or operation of Law, any material Liabilities arising under Environmental Law of any other Person, including any obligation for corrective or remedial action. Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the consummation of the Transactions will trigger any requirement for any member of the Roivant Remaining Group to undertake any investigation, remediation or other action under Environmental Law with respect to Hazardous Substances. Roivant has Made Available all relevant material environmental reports, studies, audits or similar documents relating to the Roivant Remaining Group in the Roivant Group’s possession or control that were prepared since January 1, 2016 and that identify any material liabilities, costs or obligations under Environmental Law.

 

SECTION 5.10                                           Litigation.

76


 

law or in equity, or before or by any Governmental Authority (including Actions with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Ancillary Documents), and, to Roivant’s Knowledge, there is no factual or legal basis that would reasonably be expected to result in any Action against, relating to or materially affecting the Roivant remaining Group or any of their respective Assets and Properties that, if determined in a manner adverse thereto, would result in material adverse harm thereto; other than, for purposes of clauses (a) and (b) above, Actions involving less than $500,000 individually and less than $5,000,000 in the aggregate and not seeking or involving the granting of equitable relief, other than requirements of confidentiality.

 

SECTION 5.11                                           Insurance. Members of the Roivant Remaining Group are and have at all times been adequately covered against all legal Liability and risks normally insured against (including Liability to Roivant Workers or third parties for personal injury or loss or damage to property, product liability and loss of profit). Such insurance is sufficient for compliance with applicable Law and for compliance with any obligation under any Contract to which any member of the Roivant Remaining Group is a party. The types and amounts of coverage provided therein are usual and customary in the context of the businesses and operations in which the members of the Roivant Remaining Group are engaged. No event has occurred that would constitute a breach or default, or permit termination or modification, under any insurance policy of any member of the Roivant Remaining Group.

86


 

acknowledges that in no event shall the receipt or availability of any funds or financing by or to Sumitomo or any of its Affiliates or any other financing transaction be a condition to any of Sumitomo’s obligations hereunder.

 

SECTION 6.06                                           Roivant Equity; No Additional Representations.

 

(a)                               Sumitomo (i) is purchasing the Roivant Equity for its own account (and not on behalf of any other Persons) with the present intention of holding such Roivant Equity for purposes of investment and not with a view to, or intention of, distribution thereof in violation of any applicable securities Laws and such Roivant Equity shall not be disposed of in contravention of applicable securities Laws, and (ii) agrees that Sumitomo shall not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Roivant Equity in contravention of applicable securities Laws or the Roivant Amended Shareholders Agreement.

 

(b)                              Sumitomo is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of an investment in the Roivant Equity and an acquisition of the Strategic Alliance Entities and the Contributed Assets. Sumitomo has engaged advisors experienced in the evaluation of an investment in companies such as Roivant and its Subsidiaries as contemplated hereunder. Sumitomo has undertaken an independent evaluation and investigation of the Roivant Group and has been provided with and has evaluated such documents and information as it has deemed necessary to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Transactions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Sumitomo acknowledges that it has not relied and will not rely upon any information, statements, representations or warranties, except those representations or warranties set forth in Article IV, Article V, any certificate delivered at the Closing and the Ancillary Documents, in negotiating, executing, delivering and performing this Agreement and the Transactions. Sumitomo understands and agrees that it is entering into this Agreement based upon Sumitomo’s own inspection, examination and determination of all matters related thereto, and without reliance upon any express or implied representations or warranties of any nature, whether in writing, orally or otherwise, made by or on behalf of or imputed to Roivant, any of its Subsidiaries, or any other Person, except for the representations and warranties made by Roivant which are expressly set forth in Article IV and Article V and the Ancillary Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 6.06(b). shall not, in any respect, impair Sumitomo’s right to recover Damages or seek other remedies for knowing and intentional fraud except with respect to forward-looking statements regarding the future prospects of the Roivant Group or the Contributed Entity Group.

 

(c)                               Sumitomo is able to bear the economic risk of Sumitomo’s investment in the Roivant Equity for an indefinite period of time because such shares of Roivant Equity have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Sumitomo understands that no public market now exists for the Roivant Common Shares, and that Roivant has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Roivant Common Shares.

 

(d)                             Sumitomo acknowledges and agrees that there may be additional issuances of Roivant Common Shares or other equity securities of Roivant and the equity interest of Sumitomo in Roivant may be diluted in connection with any such issuance; provided, however,

 

87


 

that such additional issuances shall be made in accordance with this Agreement, the Roivant Amended Bye-Laws and the Roivant Amended Shareholders Agreement (to the extent such documents are in effect and as may be amended from time-to-time in accordance with their terms).

 

ARTICLE VII
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

 

SECTION 7.01                                           Investigation by Sumitomo; Information Rights.

 

(a)                               During the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and terminating upon the earlier to occur of the Closing and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.01 (the “Pre-Closing Period”), Roivant and each member of the Private Entity Group will, and Roivant will cause each of the Option Entities and each member of the Public Entity Group to, (x) afford to Sumitomo and its authorized Representatives (including independent public accountants and attorneys) reasonable access, upon reasonable notice during normal business hours, to the offices, properties, employees and business and financial records of Roivant, such member of the Private Entity Group, such Option Entity and such member of the Public Entity Group, and (y) furnish to Sumitomo or its authorized Representatives such additional information concerning the assets, properties, operations and businesses of such Entities and their Subsidiaries as Sumitomo or its Representatives may reasonably request, including all such information that is reasonably necessary to enable Sumitomo and its Representatives to verify the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained herein or to be contained in an Ancillary Document and to verify performance of or compliance with the covenants of members of the Roivant Group (other than any of the foregoing that relate to the negotiation of the Transactions). Sumitomo agrees that such investigation will be conducted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the operations of any member of the Roivant Group. At the Closing, Roivant will deliver to Sumitomo a copy of all documents Made Available to Sumitomo in the electronic data room established by Roivant for Sumitomo’s due diligence in connection with the Transactions on an electronic storage drive. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, neither Sumitomo nor its authorized Representatives shall be permitted to conduct any intrusive or invasive environmental sampling or testing, including any Phase II environmental site assessments or similar studies, of any environmental media, building or equipment at any real property owned, leased or operated by Roivant or any member of the Roivant Group.

 

(b)                              No investigation made by Sumitomo or its Representatives hereunder will affect, amend or supplement or be deemed to affect, amend or supplement the representations and warranties of Roivant hereunder or under any of the Ancillary Documents.

 

(c)                               Notwithstanding any disclosure requirements set forth in this Article VII, no member of the Roivant Group will be obligated to disclose to Sumitomo any information to the extent such disclosure would violate any applicable Law, or cause any of them to waive attorney-client privilege or jeopardize attorney work product protection or other legal privilege; provided, however, that such Entity: (i) will be entitled to withhold only such information that may not be provided without causing such violation or waiver, (ii) will provide to Sumitomo all related information that may be provided without causing such violation or waiver (including, to the extent permitted, redacted versions of any such information and cooperating with Sumitomo to provide

 

88


 

information that will give Sumitomo adequate understanding of such information to the extent possible without causing such violation or waiver), (iii) at the request of Sumitomo, will cooperate with Sumitomo and use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent or waiver of any third party to the disclosure in full of all such information to Sumitomo and (iv) will enter into such effective and appropriate joint-defense agreements or other protective arrangements as may be reasonably requested by Sumitomo in order that all such information may be provided to Sumitomo without causing such violation or waiver.

(a)                               Except as provided herein, including pursuant to Section 7.08, each of the Parties shall (and, in the case of Roivant, agrees to cause each other member of the Roivant Group (including with respect to the Roivant Remaining Group, after the Closing)), and shall cause each of their officers, directors, employees, Affiliates, attorneys, investment bankers, financial advisers and agents (“Representatives”) (each of the foregoing, a “Restricted Party”), to treat and hold as confidential (and not disclose or provide access to any Person) all information relating to the terms of this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the Roivant Disclosure Schedule or any discussions, memoranda, letters or agreements related to this Agreement or the Transactions.

This Section 7.02(a) will not apply to any information that:

 

(i)                                  a Restricted Party obtains legally after the Closing from a third party that is not a Restricted Party and such information is obtained without violation of any obligation of confidentiality or restriction as to the disclosure of such information;

 

(ii)                              is made public due to compliance with applicable Laws; or

 

(iii)                          is within the public domain or later becomes part of the public domain as a result of acts by someone other than any Restricted Party; provided that, with respect to Intellectual Property, specific information shall not be deemed to be within the foregoing exception merely because it is embraced in general disclosures in the public domain and any combination of features shall not be deemed to be within the foregoing exception merely because the individual features are in the public domain unless the combination itself and its principle of operation are in the public domain.

 

89


 

(b)                              To the extent obliged to treat information as confidential, each Restricted Party shall use the same degree of care as it uses with regard to its own proprietary information to prevent disclosure, use, or publication of such information.

 

(c)                               Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.02(a), a Restricted Party will be permitted to disclose information to the extent (i) disclosure is made by a Restricted Party to his, her or its Tax, financial, legal or other professional advisors subject to a duty of confidentiality, for purposes of complying with such Restricted Party’s Tax obligations or other reporting obligations under Law arising out of the Transactions, or, if applicable, to such Restricted Party’s spouse under a duty of confidentiality, and (ii) disclosure is required to other Restricted Parties and their respective Tax, financial, legal or other professional advisors, subject to a duty of confidentiality, for the purposes of implementing arrangements expressly contemplated hereby, including for purposes of a Party obtaining instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any provision of the Confidentiality Agreement, Sumitomo is permitted to disclose the Contributed Entity Group Confidential Information, this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents, the Roivant Disclosure Schedule and all other documents and information relating to the Transactions to its financing sources and their respective Representatives so long as such financing sources and Representatives are subject to customary confidentiality obligations.

 

(d)                             In the event that a Restricted Party becomes legally compelled to disclose any information that is required to be held as confidential pursuant to Section 7.02(a), (i) such Restricted Party shall provide Sumitomo or Roivant, as applicable, with prompt written notice of such requirement so that Sumitomo or Roivant, as applicable, may seek a protective Order or other remedy or waive compliance with this Section 7.02, (ii) in the event that such protective Order or other remedy is not obtained, or Sumitomo or Roivant, as applicable, waives compliance with this Section 7.02 such Restricted Party shall furnish only that portion of such confidential information that is legally required to be provided and exercise its best efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.

 

(e)                               Following the Closing, upon Sumitomo’s request, each Roivant Restricted Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, at such Roivant Restricted Party’s election, as promptly as reasonably practicable furnish to the disclosing Party (at the disclosing Party’s sole cost and expense) any and all copies (in whatever form or medium) of all information that solely constitutes Contributed Entity Group Confidential Information then in the possession of such Roivant Restricted Party or, to Roivant’s Knowledge, any of its Representatives or destroy any and all copies of such Contributed Entity Group Confidential Information and of any analyses, compilations, studies or other documents prepared, in whole or in part, on the basis thereof and certify such destruction in writing to the disclosing Party; provided that the Roivant Restricted Parties (i) shall have the right to keep archival or back-up copies of such Contributed Entity Group Confidential Information after implementing customary “walls” and appropriate procedures to prevent access to such Contributed Entity Confidential Information by any Roivant Restricted Party other than as necessary to comply with archival or back-up procedures and (ii) shall be entitled to retain copies of such Contributed Entity Group Confidential Information to the extent necessary to exercise their rights or perform their obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or to the extent necessary in connection with the preparation of any Tax returns, for financial reporting purposes or as otherwise necessary to comply with applicable Law

(which shall be used solely for such purposes). For purposes of this Section 7.02(e), after the Closing, members of the Contributed Entity Group shall be deemed to be parties disclosing to the Roivant Remaining Group with respect to Contributed Entity Group Confidential Information.

 

(f)                                The Parties acknowledge that Roivant’s Affiliate, Roivant Sciences, Inc., and Sumitomo have previously executed the Mutual Confidentiality Agreement, dated January 4, 2019 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which Confidentiality Agreement will continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms until the Closing and shall thereafter be terminated.

 

SECTION 7.03                                           Conduct of Business by the Contributed Entity Group.

SECTION 7.04                                           Filings, Approvals and Consents.

 

(a)                               Efforts to Obtain Governmental Approvals. Each Party will and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to use reasonable best efforts to provide all notices and obtain all authorizations, consents, Orders and approvals of all Governmental Authorities that may be or become necessary for the execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations pursuant to, this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, and cooperate fully with the other Party in promptly seeking to obtain all such authorizations, consents, Orders and approvals.

 

(b)                              Regulatory Filings. In addition to and not in limitation of the covenants of the Parties contained in Section 7.04(a), Sumitomo and Roivant will (and will cause their respective Affiliates to) (i) make or cause to be made an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions as promptly as reasonably practicable and advisable after the Agreement Date (it being understood the HSR Act fee shall be split equally between Sumitomo and Roivant), (ii) take promptly all actions necessary to make any other filings required of such Party under the HSR Act and (iii) comply at the earliest practicable date with any request for additional information received by such party or its Affiliates from the Federal Trade Commission or the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice pursuant to the

 

96


 

HSR Act. Each of Sumitomo and Roivant will cause all documents that it is responsible for filing with any Governmental Authority under this Section 7.04(b) to comply in all material respects with all Antitrust Laws.

 

(c)                               Exchange of Information. Sumitomo, on the one hand, and Roivant for itself and on behalf of each member of the Roivant Group, on the other hand, will each promptly supply the other with any information that may be required in order to effectuate any filings or application contemplated by Section 7.04(a) or Section 7.04(b). Subject to applicable Law relating to the exchange of information, and the preservation of any applicable attorney-client privilege or work product doctrine, each Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to collaborate in reviewing and commenting on in advance, and to consult the other on, information relating thereto that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party and/or any Governmental Authority in connection with any filing, investigation, or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions (including under any Antitrust Laws). Sumitomo and Roivant may, as they deem advisable and necessary, designate any privileged, sensitive personal employee information, or competitively sensitive materials provided to the other under this Section 7.04(c) as “outside counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to outside counsel and previously-agreed outside economic consultants of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel or outside economic consultants to employees, officers, or directors of the recipient without the advance written consent of the Party providing such materials.

 

(d)                             Notification. Sumitomo, on the one hand, and Roivant for itself and on behalf of each member of the Roivant Group, on the other hand, each will notify the other promptly upon the receipt of: (i) any comments from any Governmental Authority or governmental official in connection with any filings made under this Section 7.04 and (ii) any request by any Governmental Authority or governmental official for amendments or supplements to any filings made pursuant to, or information provided to comply in all material respects with, any applicable Law. Whenever any event occurs that is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any filing made pursuant to Section 7.04(b), Sumitomo, on the one hand, or Roivant on behalf of each member of the Roivant Group, on the other hand, as the case may be, will promptly inform the other of such occurrence and cooperate in filing with the applicable Governmental Authority such amendment or supplement. Sumitomo and Roivant shall coordinate with respect to the overall strategy relating to the Antitrust Laws, including with respect to any filings, notifications, submissions and communications with or to any antitrust regulatory authority; provided, however, that (x) subject to the other provisions of this Section 7.04, Sumitomo shall make the final determination as to the appropriate course of action (provided that Sumitomo shall be required to consider in good faith Roivant’s views with respect thereto) and (y) neither Sumitomo nor Roivant shall be constrained from complying with applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Sumitomo nor Roivant shall commit to or agree with any Governmental Authority to stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law or enter into a timing agreement with any Governmental Authority, without the prior written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that Sumitomo shall be permitted to pull and re-file the filing required to be made under the HSR Act up to two times if, in each such case, Sumitomo (A) reasonably determines in good faith, after consulting with Roivant, that it is reasonably necessary to do so and (B) re-files the HSR filing as promptly as reasonably practicable after pulling such filing.

 

97


 

(e)                               Reasonable Efforts. If any objections are asserted with respect to the Transactions under the HSR Act, or if any Action is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by any Governmental Authority or any third party challenging any of the Transactions, or which would otherwise prohibit or materially impair or materially delay such Transactions, each of Sumitomo, on the one hand, or Roivant, on behalf of itself and each member of the Roivant Group, on the other hand, as the case may be, will use reasonable best efforts to resolve any such objections or Actions so as to permit consummation of the Transactions, and each Party will keep the other Party informed as to the status of such Actions; provided, that in no event shall Roivant or any of its Affiliates or Representatives effect or agree to effect any actions, limitations or other remedies with respect to the Contributed Entity Group or the Business in order to resolve any such objections or Actions without the prior written consent of Sumitomo.

 

(f)                                Contributed Entity Group. Nothing herein shall apply to or restrict communications or other actions by any member of the Contributed Entity Group with or with respect to Governmental Authority in connection with its business in the Ordinary Course of Business. In addition, except as it relates to Roivant’s specific obligations set forth in Section 7.03, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to give Sumitomo, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of any member of the Contributed Entity Group prior to the Closing.

 

(g)                              Notification and Consent of Third Parties. Promptly after the Agreement Date, each of Roivant on behalf of itself and any member of the Roivant Group, on the one hand, and Sumitomo, on the other hand, will cooperate to send each notice and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all consents, waivers and approvals from all Persons (other than those required by Section 7.04(a)) that are necessary or appropriate to be obtained by them to permit the consummation of the Transactions; provided, however, that the Parties (and their Affiliates) shall not be required to pay or commit to pay any amount (or incur any obligations or grant any concession in favor of) any such Person (other than amounts required to be paid pursuant to terms existing as of the date hereof in a Contract, the reimbursement of such Person’s reasonable expenses in connection with obtaining such consent or de minimis fees or administrative expenses).

 

SECTION 7.05                                           Notice of Developments. During the Pre-Closing Period:

 

(a)                               Sumitomo, on the one hand, and Roivant on behalf of itself and the members of the Roivant Group, on the other hand, will promptly advise the other Party in writing of the failure by it to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement prior to the Closing which would reasonably be expected to result in any condition to the obligations of any Party to effect the Transactions not to be satisfied.

 

(b)                              Roivant on behalf of itself, the Contributed Entity Group and the Option Entity Group, will promptly advise Sumitomo in writing of:

 

(i)                                  any change or event having, or which is reasonably likely to have, alone or in combination with other changes or events, (i) any Roivant Material Adverse Effect, (ii) any Material Adverse Effect on Myovant and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (iii) any Material

 

98


 

Adverse Effect on Urovant and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iv) any Material Adverse Effect on the Contributed Entity Group, taken as a whole;

(iii)                          any written notice or other written communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions; and

 

(c)                               Roivant on behalf of itself and each member of the Roivant Group will deliver to Sumitomo as soon as practicable, but in any event within five Business Days the following: (i) a record of any FDA or other Governmental Authority contact regarding an inspection, inquiry or communication concerning any Product Candidate, and copies of any associated correspondence and (ii) notice of any Safety Notice or other material adverse development regarding any Product Candidate and a copy of any associated correspondence; provided, however, that no such notification will be deemed to prevent or cure any breach of, or inaccuracy in, amend or supplement any Section of the Roivant Disclosure Schedule, or otherwise disclose an exception to, or affect in any manner, the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Parties (or remedies with respect thereto) or the conditions to the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents;

 

provided, further, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure by a Party to provide any such notification required by clause (a) or (b) of this Section 7.05 shall not be deemed to result in a breach of any covenant or agreement of such Party hereunder and shall not be indemnifiable pursuant to Article X (it being understood that this proviso shall have no effect on whether the underlying facts, matters or circumstances otherwise result in a breach of a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement).

 

SECTION 7.06                                           No Solicitation.

 

(a)                               (i)                                  Until the earlier to occur of (x) the Closing and (y) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.01, each member of the Private Entity Group will not, and Roivant will cause each member of the Public Entity Group not to, take (directly or indirectly) any of the following actions with any Person other than Sumitomo and its designees: (1) solicit or knowingly encourage (including in each case by way of providing information) the initiation or submission of any expression of interest, inquiry, proposal or offer from, or participate or engage in or conduct any discussions or negotiations with, any Person relating to any expression of interest, inquiry, offer or proposal, oral, written or otherwise, formal or informal, with respect to any possible Contributed Entity Group Business Combination or Competing Transaction, (2)  approve, agree to, accept, endorse or recommend any Contributed Entity Group Business Combination or Competing Transaction to such Entity’s shareholders, (3) enter into a Contract with any Person contemplating or otherwise relating to any Contributed Entity Group Business

(ii)                              Until the earlier to occur of (x) the Closing and (y) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.01, Roivant will not take nor will it permit any of its Representatives to take (directly or indirectly) any of the following actions with any Person other than Sumitomo and its designees: (1) solicit or knowingly encourage (including in each case by way of providing information)  the initiation or submission of any expression of interest, inquiry, proposal or offer from, or participate or engage in or conduct any discussions or negotiations with, any Person relating to any expression of interest, inquiry, offer or proposal, oral, written or otherwise, formal or informal, with respect to any possible Roivant Business Combination or Competing Transaction, (2) approve, agree to, accept, endorse or recommend any Roivant Business Combination or Competing Transaction to its shareholders, (3) enter into a Contract with any Person contemplating or otherwise relating to any Roivant Business Combination or Competing Transaction, (4) submit any Roivant Business Combination or Competing Transaction to a vote of any of its shareholders or (5) authorize or permit any of its Representatives to take any such action.

 

(b)                              Each member of the Private Entity Group will, and Roivant will cause each member of the Public Entity Group to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any such contacts or negotiations with any Person relating to any Contributed Entity Group Business Combination or Competing Transaction, Roivant will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any such contacts or negotiations with any Person relating to any Roivant Business Combination or Competing Transaction. In addition to the foregoing, if a member of the Private Entity Group, Public Entity Group or Roivant receives any offer or proposal (formal or informal, oral, written or otherwise) during the Pre-Closing Period relating to or that would reasonably be expected to lead to, or any inquiry or contact from any Person with respect to or that would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Contributed Entity Group Business Combination, Competing Transaction or Roivant Business Combination, as applicable, Roivant shall, or shall cause the applicable member of the Contributed Entity Group to, as the case may be, promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) notify Sumitomo thereof and provide Sumitomo with the details thereof, including the identity of the Person or Persons making such offer, proposal, inquiry or contact as well as a copy of any such Contributed Entity Group Business Combination or Roivant Business Combination indication, inquiry or request (or, where given orally, a description of such) and will keep Sumitomo reasonably informed on a current basis of the status and details of any such offer or proposal and of any modifications to the terms thereof; provided, however, that this provision will not in any way be deemed to limit the obligations of the members of the Contributed Entity Group, Roivant and their Representatives set forth in Section 7.06(a).

 

(c)                               Roivant acknowledges that this Section 7.06 was a significant inducement for Sumitomo to enter into this Agreement and the absence of such provision would have resulted in either (x) a material reduction in the consideration to be paid to Roivant in the Transaction or (y) a failure to induce Sumitomo to enter into this Agreement.

 

(d)                             Roivant will promptly inform its Representatives and the Representatives of each member of the Contributed Entity Group of their obligations under this Section 7.06. If

 

100


 

any Representative of Roivant or of a member of the Contributed Entity Group takes any action that such Party is prohibited by this Section 7.06 from taking, such Party will be deemed to have breached this Section 7.06.

SECTION 7.08                                           Publicity. No press release or other public announcement concerning the Transactions shall be issued by Sumitomo or Roivant or such Party’s Affiliates without the prior consent of the other Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as such press release or public announcement may be required by applicable Law, Order or any Governmental Authority, in which case the Party required to make the press release or public announcement shall allow the other Party reasonable time to comment thereon in advance of such issuance. Sumitomo and Roivant agree that any press releases to be issued with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions shall be in the form, of substance and with timing agreed upon by Roivant and Sumitomo (the “Announcements”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) this Section 7.08 shall not apply to any press release or other public announcement made by any Party which is consistent with the Announcements and the terms of this Agreement and does not contain any information relating to Sumitomo, Roivant or the Business that has not been previously announced or made public in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (b) each of Roivant and Sumitomo may make internal announcements to their respective employees that are consistent with the parties’ prior public disclosures regarding the Transactions.

101


 

SECTION 7.10                                           Section 280G of the Code.

 

(a)                               Prior to the Closing, Roivant or each applicable member of the Private Entity Group will use reasonable best efforts to obtain and deliver to Sumitomo, at least two Business Days prior to the solicitation of the requisite shareholder approval described in Section 7.10(b), an executed Section 280G Waiver from each Person who is a “disqualified individual” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 280G”) and who has received or might otherwise receive or have the right or entitlement to receive a “parachute payment” under Section 280G in connection with the Transactions. By execution of such Section 280G Waiver, any Person executing the waiver will agree to waive all of his or her right or entitlement to receive (or if already paid, his or her right or entitlement to keep) any portion of the payments received in connection with the Transactions that exceeds 299% of such Person’s “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) (such excess, the “280G Payments”), unless the requisite shareholder approval of such 280G Payments is obtained pursuant to Section 7.10(b). Nothing in this Section 7.10 shall require Roivant or any of its Affiliates to make any payments or grant any concession to any Person who is a “disqualified individual” in connection with the obtaining of any Section 280G Waiver.

 

(b)                              Prior to the Closing, Roivant or the applicable member of the Private Entity Group will submit to the applicable shareholders for approval, in accordance with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code, the 280G Payments such that, if approved by the requisite number of applicable shareholders in accordance with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code, such 280G Payments will not be deemed to be “parachute payments” under Section 280G, and prior to the Closing, Roivant or the applicable member of the Private Entity Group will deliver to Sumitomo a certificate (i) that a shareholder vote was solicited in conformance with Section 280G, and the requisite shareholder approval was obtained with respect to any payments and/or benefits that were subject to the shareholder vote (the “Section 280G Approval”) or (ii) that the Section 280G Approval was not obtained and as a consequence, pursuant to the Section 280G Waiver, such “parachute payments” will not be made or provided.

 

(c)                               The form of the Section 280G Waiver, the calculations of the “parachute payments” and any materials to be submitted to the applicable shareholders in connection with the Section 280G Approval will be subject to advance review and approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) by Sumitomo prior to the solicitation of the shareholder vote described in Section 7.10(b).

 

SECTION 7.11                                           Employee Matters. (a) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary thereof, Sumitomo shall provide, or shall cause its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Contributed Entity Group) to provide, to each Worker or Transferred Worker who continues employment with the Contributed Entity Group from and after the Closing (each, a “Transferred Employee”) (i) a base salary or wages (as applicable) that is no less favorable than that in effect immediately prior to the Closing, (ii) an annual target cash bonus opportunity that is no less favorable than that in effect immediately prior to the Closing, and (iii) employee benefit plans and arrangements (other than equity based compensation and the base salary, wages and bonuses referred to in clause (i) above) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to the Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing.

 

102


 

(b)                              With respect to all employee benefit plans of Sumitomo and its Subsidiaries (including any “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) and vacation and paid time-off), Sumitomo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide that (i) for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, and (ii) with respect to vacation and severance benefits only, for purposes of determining the level of benefits, vesting and benefit accruals, each Transferred Employee’s service with the Roivant Group (as well as such Transferred Employee’s service with any predecessor of any Entity in the Roivant Group, to the extent service with such predecessor employer was recognized by the Roivant Group for purposes of the applicable Benefit Plan) shall be treated as service with Sumitomo and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service.

 

(c)                               Without limiting the generality of Section 7.11(a), Sumitomo shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Contributed Entity Group) to use commercially reasonable efforts to waive, or cause to be waived, any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods under any welfare benefit plan maintained by Sumitomo and any of its Subsidiaries in which Transferred Employees (and their eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the Closing Date, except to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods would not have been satisfied or waived under the comparable Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Closing. Sumitomo shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize the dollar amount of all co-payments, deductibles and similar expenses incurred by each Transferred Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) during the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible and co-payment limitations under the relevant welfare benefit plans in which they will be eligible to participate from and after the Closing Date.

 

(d)                             Prior to the Closing, and following consultation with Sumitomo, Roivant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to adopt for the benefit of Transferred Workers and Workers of the Contributed Entity Group a defined contribution plan that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (“Company 401(k) Plan”) effective at the Closing. Prior to the Closing, Roivant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to adopt health and welfare plans (together with the Company 401(k) Plan and along with associated payroll processing capabilities, the “Company Plans”), in each case effective as of the Closing.  Each Company Plan shall provide Transferred Workers with benefits that are substantially comparable to the corresponding Roivant Benefit Plan; provided that, to the extent that adoption by the Company of the Company Plans prior to Closing is not reasonably practicable, Roivant and Sumitomo shall cooperate in good faith to determine a method to provide such coverage and payroll services, on a transitional basis, under the corresponding Roivant Benefit Plan pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, at the cost of the Company.

 

(e)                               Prior to the Closing, Roivant and each Private Entity shall take all reasonably necessary action to obtain an Independent Appraisal of each Private Entity for purposes of determining the Per Share Cash-Out Price. Roivant will deliver the results of such Independent Appraisals to Sumitomo reasonably prior to Closing for its review and comment and Roivant shall

Except as required by applicable Law or final determination by an applicable Governmental Authority, all such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice. Sumitomo will submit such Sumitomo Prepared Tax Returns to Roivant for its review and comment at least 20 days prior to the due date of any income or other material Tax Return including extensions (or as soon as reasonably practicable in the case of other Tax Returns) and Sumitomo will incorporate any comments made by Roivant prior to the filing of such Tax Return.

 

SECTION 8.02                                           Responsibility for Payment of Taxes. Roivant, on behalf of the members of the Contributed Entity Group, will timely pay (or cause to be timely paid) all Taxes due on any Tax Return prepared by Roivant pursuant to Section 8.01. Any Taxes of a member of the Contributed Entity Group with respect to any Straddle Period will be apportioned between the portion of such period up to and including the Closing Date (such portion, a “Pre-Closing Straddle Period”) and the portion of such period that begins after the Closing Date (such portion, a “Post-Closing Straddle Period”) where the Pre-Closing Straddle Period amount will be (i) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, the amount of such Tax for the entire period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Pre-Closing Straddle Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period and (ii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts, the amount which would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date, and in the case of any Taxes attributable to the ownership of an equity interest in any partnership or other “flowthrough” entity or “controlled foreign corporation” (within the meaning of Section 957(a) of the Code or any comparable state, local or foreign Law), as if a taxable period of such partnership or other “flowthrough” entity or “controlled foreign corporation” ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date. For purposes of this Section 8.02, any exemption, deduction, credit or other item for a Straddle Period will be allocated in the same manner as described in the previous sentence.  If Roivant would be required to indemnify for any Taxes reflected on a Sumitomo Prepared Tax Return pursuant to Section 10.02(f), Roivant will pay such amount to Sumitomo on or prior to the due date for payment of such Taxes.

 

SECTION 8.03                                           Tax Cooperation. Sumitomo and Roivant shall cooperate in good faith, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the

 

109


 

filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Agreement and any Action with respect to Taxes including Tax Returns and Transfer Taxes described in Section 8.06. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records, books of account, powers of attorney and materials (at the requesting Party’s expense) which are reasonably relevant to any such Action and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Sumitomo and Roivant agree to (a) retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the members of the Contributed Entity Group relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Authority (notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstances will this Section 8.03 require the provision of any Tax Returns of Sumitomo or any Affiliates thereof, other than the members of the Contributed Entity Group or any other Person liable for Taxes of a Contributed Entity Group member as a transferee or successor) and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver or make available to Sumitomo, within 60 calendar days after the Closing Date, copies of all such books and records in Roivant’s possession not already in a member of the Contributed Entity Group’s or their Affiliates’ possession. Sumitomo, the Contributed Entity Group and Roivant agree, upon reasonable request, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other in obtaining any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate Taxes (including Transfer Taxes) arising in connection with the Transactions.

 

SECTION 8.04                                           Contest Provisions. If, subsequent to the Closing, Sumitomo or a member of the Contributed Entity Group receives notice of any audit, administrative proceeding or inquiry or judicial proceeding involving Taxes for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period that Sumitomo believes may result in a Roivant indemnification obligation under Article X (a “Tax Contest”), then within five Business Days after receipt of such notice, Sumitomo will notify Roivant of such notice; provided, however, any failure to so notify Roivant of any Tax Contest will not relieve Roivant of any Liability with respect to such Tax Contest except to the extent Roivant was materially prejudiced as a result thereof.  Except as provided in Section 8.04 of the Roivant Disclosure Schedule, Sumitomo will have the right to control the conduct and resolution of any Tax Contest; provided, however, that Roivant shall be permitted to participate in the conduct and resolution of such Tax Contest. Sumitomo will keep Roivant reasonably informed of all material developments in any Tax Contest on a timely basis, and Sumitomo will not resolve such Tax Contest without Roivant’s written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

SECTION 8.05                                           Amended Returns. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law or as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, Sumitomo will not, nor will Sumitomo cause or permit its Subsidiaries to, without the prior written consent of Roivant (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), amend any Tax Return of a member of the Contributed Entity Group for any Pre-Closing Tax Period.

110


 

documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes and, if required by applicable Law, Sumitomo or the relevant member of the Contributed Entity Group will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation, and cooperate as necessary in the filing of such Tax Returns.  None of the members of the Contributed Entity Group, Escrow Agent, or Sumitomo or its Subsidiaries shall bear the cost of any Transfer Taxes.  To the extent Sumitomo or any of its Affiliates (including a member of the Contributed Entity Group) would be liable under applicable Law for the payment of Transfer Taxes, Roivant will provide Sumitomo with evidence satisfactory to Sumitomo that such Transfer Taxes have been paid by Roivant, on behalf of the members of the Contributed Entity Group, within 90 days after the Closing.

 

SECTION 8.07                                           Refunds, Credits and Overpayments.  Roivant shall be entitled to any refund, credit or overpayment of (i) Taxes of any Contributed Entity Group member allocable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) Transfer Taxes and (iii) the refunds, credits or overpayments described in Section 8.07 of the Roivant Disclosure Schedule.  Sumitomo shall (or shall cause the applicable Contributed Entity Group member to) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such refund from the applicable Tax Authority.  Sumitomo shall pay Roivant the amount of any such refund, credit or overpayment (A) in the case of a refund, at the time such refund, credit or overpayment is actually received, and (B) in the case of a credit or overpayment, at the time of the filing of the relevant Tax Return for the Tax period related to the relevant credit or overpayment, in each case, net of any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by or on behalf of Sumitomo in obtaining such refund, credit or overpayment.  To the extent such refund, credit or overpayment is subsequently disallowed or required to be returned to the applicable Governmental Authority, Roivant agrees promptly to repay the amount of such refund, together with any interest, penalties or other additional amounts imposed by such Governmental Authority, to Sumitomo or such Governmental Authority, as the case may be.

 

SECTION 8.08                                           Power of Attorney.

SECTION 10.03                                   Indemnification of Roivant Indemnified Parties. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.04 below, from and after the Closing, Sumitomo will (without duplication with respect to any other payment made pursuant to this Agreement) indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Roivant Indemnified Parties from, against and in respect of, and pay the Roivant Indemnified Parties the amount of, any and all Damages that are suffered or incurred by any of the Roivant Indemnified Parties that are based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any of the following (each, a “Roivant Claim”):

 

(a)                               any inaccuracy in, or breach or failure of (i) any representation or warranty made by Sumitomo in Article VI (other than any Sumitomo Fundamental Representations) to be true and correct in all respects as of the Agreement Date or the  Closing Date (except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to a specified date, in which case the inaccuracy in or breach or failure of which will be determined with reference to such specified date) and (ii) any Sumitomo Fundamental Representation to be true and correct in all respects as of the Agreement Date or the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to a specified date, in which case the inaccuracy in or breach or failure of which will be determined with reference to such specified date), in each case of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), without giving effect to any materiality, Sumitomo Material Adverse Effect or other similar limitations or qualifications;

(e)                               except for Excluded Liabilities or any other Liabilities or Damages for which Roivant is required to indemnify the Sumitomo Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 10.02 (in each case, without giving effect to any limitations on indemnification, including as a result of the Basket, Per Claim Threshold, the Cap and the survival periods), (i) any Damages resulting from a claim asserted by a Person that is not a member of the Roivant Remaining Group against a member of the Roivant Remaining Group but only to the extent such Damages would not have been incurred by a member of the Roivant Remaining Group but for Roivant’s ownership of the Strategic Alliance Entities, whether any such Damages result from events occurring before or after the Closing, and (ii) any Assumed Liabilities (as defined in the Reorganization Plan); and

 

(f)                                any of the matters described in Section 10.03(f) of the Sumitomo Disclosure Schedule.

 

SECTION 10.04                                   Limits on Indemnification. Recovery by the Sumitomo Indemnified Parties and the Roivant Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Agreement will be subject to the following limitations:

 

(a)                               Sumitomo Threshold to Recovery of Damages. Except for Damages incurred as a result of an inaccuracy in or breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.16(b) (Intellectual Property; Data Protection), no Sumitomo Indemnified Party may recover Damages from the Escrow Fund in respect of any indemnification pursuant to Section 10.02(a)(i):

 

(i)                                  until the aggregate amount (without duplication) of Damages to the Sumitomo Indemnified Parties has exceeded $4,750,000 (the “Basket”), and then only to the extent of any such excess; and

 

(ii)                              for any individual items, or series of related items, where the Damage relating thereto is less than $50,000 (the “Per Claim Threshold”); provided, however, such items below the Per Claim Threshold shall be aggregated for purposes of Section 10.04(a)(i) and provided further that the Per Claim Threshold shall not apply to any claims made for an item or series of related items after the Sumitomo Indemnified Parties have incurred $12,000,000 in Damages (whether or not indemnified by Roivant under this Agreement).

 

(b)                              Roivant Threshold to Recovery of Damages. No Roivant Indemnified Party may recover Damages from Sumitomo in respect of any indemnification pursuant to Section 10.03(a)(i):

 

(i)                                  until the aggregate amount (without duplication) of Damages to the Roivant Indemnified Parties has exceeded the Basket, and then only to the extent of any such excess; and

 

117


 

(ii)                              for any individual items, or series of related items, where the Damage relating thereto is less than Per Claim Threshold; provided, however, such items below the Per Claim Threshold shall be aggregated for purposes of Section 10.04(b)(i) and provided further, that the Per Claim Threshold would not apply to any claims made for an item or series of related items after the Roivant Indemnified Parties have incurred $12,000,000 in Damages (whether or not indemnified by Sumitomo under this Agreement).

 

(c)                               Caps on Recovery of Damages.

 

(i)                                  With regard to (A) indemnification for Damages under Section 10.02(a)(i) (other than those that are the subject of the following clause (B) or (C)), Sumitomo may not recover an amount of aggregate Damages in respect of such claims that exceeds $9,500,000 and amounts retained in the Escrow Fund will serve as the Sumitomo Indemnified Parties’ sole source of recovery from Roivant in respect thereof; (B) indemnification for Damages under Section 10.02(a)(i) in respect of any such claim that is excluded from the coverage provided under the R&W Policy by the terms of the R&W Policy (and not as a result of any action or inaction of the Sumitomo Indemnified Parties), Sumitomo may not recover an amount of aggregate Damages in respect of such claims that exceeds $150,000,000; (C) indemnification for Damages under Section 10.02(a)(i) to the extent related to a breach of Section 4.10 (Sufficiency) or Section 4.16(b) (Intellectual Property; Data Protection), a Sumitomo Indemnified Party must first seek recourse against the Escrow Fund, but, if such funds are insufficient to satisfy Roivant’s indemnification obligations with respect thereto, such Sumitomo Indemnified Party may recover its Damages directly from Roivant, but may not recover an amount of aggregate Damages in respect of all such claims that exceeds $100,000,000; and (D) indemnification for Damages under Section 10.02(h), a Sumitomo Indemnified Party must first seek recourse against the Escrow Fund, but, if such funds are insufficient to satisfy Roivant’s indemnification obligations with respect thereto, such Sumitomo Indemnified Party may recover its Damages directly from Roivant, but may not recover an amount of aggregate Damages in respect of all such claims that exceeds $100,000,000.

 

(ii)                              With regard to indemnification for Damages under Section 10.02(a)(ii) through Section 10.02(g), a Sumitomo Indemnified Party must first seek recourse against the Escrow Fund, but, if such funds are insufficient to satisfy Roivant’s indemnification obligations with respect thereto, such Sumitomo Indemnified Party may recover its Damages directly from Roivant, but may not recover an amount of aggregate Damages in respect of all such claims that exceeds the Cap; provided, however, that (A) the foregoing Cap shall not apply to any indemnification claim under Section 10.02(c) or Section 10.02(f) and (B) the requirement to first seek recourse against the Escrow Fund before seeking recourse directly from Roivant shall not apply to (x) any claim arising out of or relating to any breach of a representation or warranty in Section 4.17 (Taxes), other than a representation or warranty under Section 4.17(q) or Section 4.17(r), (y) any claim arising under Section 10.02(c) or Section 10.02(f) or (z) any claim arising out of or relating to any knowing and intentional breach of any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant set forth in this Agreement and, with respect to any claim set forth in the foregoing clause (x), (y) or (z), a Sumitomo Indemnified Party may, at its discretion, seek recourse against the Escrow Fund and/or directly from Roivant.

 

118


 

(iii)                          With regard to indemnification claims made by a Roivant Indemnified Party under (A) Section 10.03(a)(i), a Roivant Indemnified Party may not recover an amount of aggregate Damages in respect of such claims that exceeds $9,500,000 and (B) Section 10.03(a)(ii) through Section 10.03(f), a Roivant Indemnified Party may not recover an amount of aggregate Damages in respect of such claims that exceeds the Cap.

 

(d)                             Once Damages are agreed to by the indemnifying party or finally adjudicated to be payable under this Article X, such indemnifying party shall satisfy its obligations within 15 Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by the indemnified party. The Parties agree that should the indemnifying party not make full payment of any such obligations within such 15-Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the indemnifying party or final, non-appealable adjudication to and including the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to 4%. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding.

 

(e)                               No Limitation on Recovery for Fraud. In no event will the provisions of this Section 10.04 have the effect of reducing or limiting any recovery for any claims based on knowing and intentional fraud (except with respect to forward looking statements regarding the future prospects of the Roivant Group or the Contributed Entity Group) or any knowing and intentional breach of this Agreement, and the Sumitomo Indemnified Parties (or the insurers providing the R&W Insurance pursuant to any subrogation rights they may have under the R&W Insurance) may seek recovery directly from Roivant for any such claims without first seeking recovery from the Escrow Fund.

 

(f)                                Calculation of Damages; Mitigation.

 

(i)                                  The amount of any Damage for which indemnification is provided under this Article X shall be net of any amounts recovered by the indemnified party under insurance policies (including the R&W Insurance) with respect to such Damage, net of any (a) retentions or deductibles paid or incurred under such other insurance policies, (b) increase in premiums (including retroactive premiums) for such insurance policies or renewals of such insurance policies and (c) the cost of such recovery. The availability of any such insurance shall not preclude a claim hereunder. Nothing herein shall require Sumitomo to pursue recovery from the R&W Insurance if Damages are not recoverable thereunder on account of restrictions, limitations, retentions, or exclusions therein.

 

(ii)                              Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or provided under applicable Law, Damages shall exclude punitive, special or treble damages (except, in each case, to the extent any such Damages are awarded and paid by an indemnified party with respect to a Third-Party Claim).

 

(iii)                          Roivant and Sumitomo shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) resolve any such claim or Liability and (ii) to the extent required by Law, mitigate any Damage for which indemnification is sought under this Agreement; provided, however, that the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of such mitigation shall constitute Damages for purposes of this Agreement. In the event that Roivant or Sumitomo shall

 

119


 

fail to use such commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any claim or Liability to the extent required by Law, then notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, the other Party shall not be required to indemnify any Person for any such Damages that would reasonably be expected to have been avoided if Roivant or Sumitomo, as the case may be, had made such efforts.

 

(iv)                          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the amount of any Damage for which indemnification is required to be provided by Roivant under this Article X to the extent incurred by a Sumitomo Indemnified Party that is a member of the Public Entity Group shall be limited to the portion of such Damage equal to Sumitomo’s equity ownership percentage of such member of the Public Entity Group as of immediately following the Closing.

 

(g)                              The Parties agree to the provisions set forth in Section 10.04(g) of the Roivant Disclosure Schedule.

 

SECTION 10.05                                   Notification of Certain Claims. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.04:

 

(a)                               If any Sumitomo Indemnified Party or Roivant Indemnified Party believes that it has a bona fide claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article X, other than in respect of a Third-Party Claim, then the applicable Party may deliver to the indemnifying party a certificate (any certificate delivered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.05(a), a “Claim Certificate”): (i) stating that such Person has a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article X, (ii) to the extent possible, containing a good faith, non-binding, preliminary estimate of the amount such Person claims to be entitled to receive, which shall be the amount of Damages such Person claims to have so incurred or suffered or could reasonably be expected to incur or suffer and (iii) specifying in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by such Person) the material facts known to such Person giving rise to such claim.

 

(b)                              No delay in providing such Claim Certificate will affect the indemnification provided hereunder except and then only to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced thereby.

 

(c)                               In the case of a Sumitomo Indemnified Party, if the Escrow Fund has not been fully released as of such time, at the time of delivery of any Claim Certificate to Roivant, a duplicate copy of such Claim Certificate shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent by or on behalf of Sumitomo (on behalf of itself or any other Sumitomo Indemnified Party).

 

(d)                             If an indemnifying party in good faith objects to any claim made in any Claim Certificate, then such indemnifying party shall deliver a written notice (a “Claim Dispute Notice”) to the Person seeking Indemnification during the 30-day period commencing upon receipt by the indemnifying party of the Claim Certificate. The Claim Dispute Notice will set forth in reasonable detail the principal basis for the dispute of any claim made in the applicable Claim Certificate. If such indemnifying party does not deliver a Claim Dispute Notice hereunder prior to the expiration of such 30-day period, such claim specified by the indemnified party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed to be Damages of the indemnifying party and the indemnifying party shall pay the amount of such Damages to the indemnified party on demand or, in the case of any

 

120


 

notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined, except to the extent limited by Section 10.04.

 

(e)                               If a Claim Dispute Notice is properly delivered hereunder, then Sumitomo and Roivant will attempt in good faith to resolve any such objections raised in such Claim Dispute Notice. If Sumitomo and Roivant agree to a resolution of such objection, then a memorandum setting forth the matters conclusively determined by Sumitomo and Roivant will be prepared and signed by both Parties.

 

(f)                                If no such resolution can be reached during the 45-day period following receipt of a given Claim Dispute Notice hereunder, then upon the expiration of such 45-day period, either Sumitomo or Roivant may bring an Action to resolve the objection in accordance with Section 12.11.

 

SECTION 10.06                                   Procedures Relating to Indemnification for Third-Party Claims. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.04:

 

(a)                               When an indemnified party receives notice of any Action that has been or may be brought or asserted by a third party against such indemnified party (a “Third-Party Claim”), then such indemnified party will, promptly after the later of the receipt of the notice of any such Third-Party Claim and the date on which such indemnified party determines that the Third-Party Claim is reasonably likely to give rise to a claim by such indemnified party for Damages under this Article X, notify the Party required to provide indemnification (the “indemnifying party”) of such Third-Party Claim by the delivery of a certificate regarding the same, which shall be deemed a Claim Certificate. The failure of such indemnified party to so notify the indemnifying party of the commencement of any such Third-Party Claim will not relieve the indemnifying party from Liability in connection therewith, except and only to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice.

 

(b)                              Within the earlier of (i) 30 days after delivery of such notification or (ii) 15 days prior to the due date for the answer or response to the Third-Party Claim, but subject to Section 10.06(c) regarding Special Claims, the indemnifying party may, upon written notice thereof to the indemnified party, assume control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim if such notice includes an acknowledgement of the indemnifying party that any Damages that may be assessed in connection with the Third-Party Claim shall constitute Damages for which the indemnified party will be indemnified pursuant to this Article X without contest or objection and an acknowledgement that the indemnifying party will advance all reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses and costs of defense (a “Third-Party Claim Assumption Notice”).

 

(c)                               Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 10.06(b), in no event may the indemnifying party, without the indemnified party’s written consent (which may be withheld in its sole discretion), assume, maintain control of, or participate in, the defense of any Third-Party Claim (i) involving any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (ii) in which any relief other than monetary damages is sought against any indemnified party (other than such other relief that is incidental and de minimis to monetary damages as the primary relief sought) and (iii) if, in the event the Third-Party Claim were to be

 

121


 

unfavorably decided or resolved, and after aggregating with all other potential claims for indemnification, the indemnifying party would be reasonably likely to be liable for Damages in excess of amounts required to be paid under this Article X (collectively, clauses (i) – (iii), the “Special Claims”).

 

(d)                             If the indemnifying party fails to deliver a Third-Party Claim Assumption Notice in accordance with Section 10.06(b), then the indemnified party will have the right to control and defend, and be reimbursed for its reasonable cost and expense relating to, the Third-Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, to a final conclusion or settlement at the discretion of the indemnified party; provided, however, that the indemnifying party may contest indemnification with respect to any compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claim entered into without its consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The indemnifying party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the indemnified party pursuant to this Section 10.06(d), and the indemnifying party will bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation; provided that the indemnifying party will not be permitted to participate in such defense to the extent such participation would affect any privilege of the indemnified party in respect of such Third-Party Claim, and the indemnifying party will not admit any Liability, file any papers or consent to the entry of any judgment or propose to the third party, or enter into, any settlement agreement, compromise or discharge with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnified party.

 

(e)                               If the indemnifying party validly delivers a Third-Party Claim Assumption Notice in accordance with Section 10.06(b) (other than in respect of a Special Claim), (i) the indemnifying party shall not be Liable to the indemnified party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred thereby following the date of such delivery of the Third-Party Claim Assumption Notice in connection with the defense thereof; provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the indemnified party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the indemnifying party and the indemnified party that cannot be waived, then the indemnifying party will be Liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the indemnified party in each jurisdiction for which such indemnified party reasonably determines counsel is required, (ii) the indemnifying party will defend such claim in good faith, using a level of efforts that is commensurate with the level of efforts that it would use in the ordinary course if such claim were not subject to indemnification hereunder, (iii) the indemnified party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the indemnifying party, it being understood that the indemnifying party shall control such defense, and (iv) the indemnifying party shall be Liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the indemnified party for any period during which the indemnifying party has not assumed the defense thereof.

 

(f)                                The controlling party shall (i) keep the non-controlling party advised of the status of such Third-Party Claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the non-controlling party with respect thereto and (ii) deliver to the non-controlling party, promptly after the controlling party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the controlling party relating to the Third-Party Claim.

 

122


 

(g)                              The non-controlling party shall (i) reasonably cooperate with the controlling party in the defense or prosecution thereof, including the retention and (upon the controlling party’s reasonable request) the provision to the controlling party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim, and (ii) use their reasonable best efforts to make their employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material related to such Third-Party Claim.

 

(h)                              If an indemnifying party delivers a Third-Party Claim Assumption Notice, such indemnifying party shall not agree to any compromise, discharge or settlement of such Third-Party Claim or consent to any judgment in respect thereof, in each case without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless (i) such compromise, discharge, or settlement provides for a complete and unconditional release of the indemnified party from all Liability with respect thereto and does not contain any admission or statement suggesting any wrongdoing or Liability on behalf of the indemnified party or any of its officers, directors, managers, employees, agents or Representatives, (ii) the settlement obligates such indemnifying party to pay the full amount of the Damages of the indemnified parties related to such Third-Party Claim, and (iii) the settlement agreement does not contain any sanction or restriction upon the conduct of any business by the indemnified party or its Affiliates or other non-monetary relief to be satisfied by the indemnified party or its Affiliates.

 

(i)                                  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.06 to the contrary, the indemnified party will have the right, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 10.06(c), to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing, the defense, settlement and compromise of, any Special Claim. Additionally, the indemnifying party will lose its right to contest, defend, litigate and settle the Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 10.06(b) if it fails to accept a tender of the defense of the Third-Party Claim or ceases to actively and diligently conduct the defense in the reasonable determination of the indemnified party. In such event, the indemnified party will have the right, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 10.06(c), to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing, the defense, compromise or settlement of any such Third-Party Claim.

 

(j)                                  If reasonably requested by the party controlling the defense of the Third-Party Claim, the non-controlling party will enter into a separate confidentiality or joint defense agreement prior to participating in the defense of any Third-Party Claim.

 

SECTION 10.07                                   Treatment of Adjustments. Roivant and Sumitomo agree that, except as otherwise required by applicable Law or a final determination by an applicable Governmental Authority, all payments made by or on behalf of either of them to or for the benefit of the other (including any payments to a Sumitomo Indemnified Party but, for clarity, not from the R&W Insurance) under this Article X will be treated as adjustments to the consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement for all applicable Tax purposes.

 

SECTION 10.08                                   No Right of Contribution. Each Party waives, and acknowledges and agrees that such Party will not have and will not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution against the other Party, or any of such Party’s respective Representatives, Affiliates, assigns or successors, for any indemnification claims asserted by any Sumitomo Indemnified Parties or Roivant Indemnified Parties, as applicable, in

connection with any indemnification obligation or any other liability to which such Party may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement.

 

SECTION 10.09                                   Investigation. The right to indemnification or any other remedy based on representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of a member of the Roivant Group in this Agreement, any Ancillary Document, or any other document, certificate or other instrument required to be delivered by a member of the Roivant Group under this Agreement will not be affected by any investigation conducted (or capable of being conducted) by any Sumitomo Indemnified Party or any other Person at any time, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by any Sumitomo Indemnified Party or any other Person at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of, or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. The waiver of any condition to Closing based upon the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement, will not affect the right to indemnification or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements.

 

SECTION 10.10                                   Exclusive Remedy.

 

(a)                               Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that (i) the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article X shall not be applicable with respect to any claims made by Sumitomo with respect to any inaccuracy in, or breach or failure of, any representation or warranty made by Roivant in Article V for which the Sumitomo Indemnified Parties would not have otherwise suffered or incurred Damages except by virtue of Sumitomo’s acquisition of the Roivant Equity, it being understood that with respect to such claims, Sumitomo shall be entitled to seek such recourse against Roivant as Sumitomo may have available to it under applicable Law, including as a result of a breach of contract (provided that, except in the case of knowing and intentional fraud (except with respect to forward looking statements regarding the future prospects of the Roivant Remaining Group) or any knowing and intentional breach of this Agreement, Roivant shall not owe any Damages to Sumitomo with respect thereto in excess of $1,000,000,000); and (ii) Sumitomo’s sole recourse for any inaccuracy in, or breach or failure of any representation or warranty made by Roivant in the definitive Option Agreement, shall be set forth in the definitive Option Agreement, and Sumitomo shall not have any indemnification claim pursuant to this Agreement, whether pursuant to Article X or otherwise, in respect thereof.

 

(b)                              Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, except as expressly set forth otherwise in this Agreement (including pursuant to Section 10.10(a) and Article VIII), this Article X will be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Sumitomo Indemnified Parties and Roivant Indemnified Parties from and after the Closing Date for any claims arising under this Agreement (and for purposes of clarity, each Party will be permitted to pursue any claims it may have pursuant to any Ancillary Agreement); provided, however, that the foregoing sentence will not be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to specific performance or injunctive or equitable relief and neither the foregoing sentence or anything else set forth in this Agreement will limit any right or remedy arising by reason of any claim of knowing and intentional fraud (except with respect to forward looking statements regarding the future prospects of the Roivant Group or the Contributed Entity Group) or any knowing and intentional breach of this Agreement.

 

124


 

(c)                               Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) nothing in this Agreement shall limit Sumitomo’s ability to recover under the R&W Insurance in accordance with the terms thereof and (ii) the terms of the R&W Insurance will be given independent effect from the terms of this Agreement, except to the extent expressly set forth in the R&W Insurance.

 

ARTICLE XI
TERMINATION

 

SECTION 11.01                                   Termination Events. This Agreement may be terminated prior to Closing:

 

(a)                               by the mutual written consent of Sumitomo and Roivant;

 

(b)                              by either Roivant, on the one hand, or Sumitomo, on the other hand, by written notice to the other Parties if the Transactions shall not have been consummated on or before April 30, 2020 (the “Expiration Date”), except that no Party will be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the terms of this Section 11.01(b) if the failure to consummate the Transactions on or prior to the Expiration Date is the result of such Party’s breach of this Agreement in any material respect;

 

(c)                               by either Roivant, on the one hand, or Sumitomo, on the other hand, by written notice to the other if any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such matters shall have issued an Order permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Transactions, and such Order shall have become final and nonappealable;

 

(d)                             by Sumitomo if (i) any representation or warranty of Roivant contained in this Agreement was inaccurate or was breached as of the Agreement Date, or has become inaccurate or has been breached as of a date subsequent to the Agreement Date (as if made on such subsequent date), such that the condition set forth in Section 9.03(a) would not be satisfied or (ii) any of the covenants or obligations of a member of the Roivant Group contained in this Agreement have been breached in any material respect such that the condition set forth in Section 9.03(b) would not be satisfied; provided, however, that if an inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of Roivant as of a date subsequent to the Agreement Date or a breach of a covenant by a member of the Roivant Group is curable by the same through the use of commercially reasonable efforts during the 60-day period after Sumitomo notifies Roivant in writing of the existence of such inaccuracy or breach (the “Roivant Cure Period), then Sumitomo may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.01(d) as a result of such inaccuracy or breach prior to the expiration of the Roivant Cure Period; provided that Roivant, during the Roivant Cure Period, continues to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cure such inaccuracy or breach (it being understood that Sumitomo may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.01(d) if such breach is cured or if Sumitomo is then in material breach of this Agreement); and

 

(e)                               by Roivant if (i) any representation or warranty of Sumitomo contained in this Agreement was inaccurate or was breached as of the Agreement Date, or has become inaccurate or has been breached as of a date subsequent to the Agreement Date (as if made on such subsequent date), such that the condition set forth in Section 9.02(a) would not be satisfied or (ii)

 

125


 

if any of Sumitomo’s covenants contained in this Agreement have been breached in any material respect such that the condition set forth in Section 9.02(b) would not be satisfied; provided, however, that if an inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of Sumitomo as of a date subsequent to the Agreement Date or a breach of a covenant by Sumitomo is curable by the same through the use of commercially reasonable efforts during the 60-day period after Roivant notifies Sumitomo in writing of the existence of such inaccuracy or breach  (the “Sumitomo Cure Period”), then Roivant may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.01(e) as a result of such inaccuracy or breach prior to the expiration of the Sumitomo Cure Period; provided that Sumitomo, during the Sumitomo Cure Period, continues to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cure such inaccuracy or breach (it being understood that Roivant may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.01(e) if such breach is cured or if a member of the Roivant Group is then in material breach of this Agreement).

 

SECTION 11.02                                   Effect of Termination. If a Party wishes to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.01, then such Party will deliver to the other Parties to this Agreement a written notice stating that such Party is terminating this Agreement and setting forth a brief description of the basis on which such Party is terminating this Agreement. In the event of the termination of this Agreement, this Agreement will be of no further force or effect, except (a) as set forth in this Section 11.02 and Article XII, each of which will survive the termination of this Agreement and (b) nothing herein will relieve any Party from Liability for knowing and intentional fraud or any knowing and intentional material breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

 

ARTICLE XII

SECTION 12.03                                   Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced as a result of any rule of law or public policy, all other terms and other provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the Transactions are fulfilled to the greatest extent possible.

 

127


 

SECTION 12.04                                   Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Roivant Disclosure Schedule, Exhibits and the other agreements referred to herein (including the Ancillary Documents), comprises the entire agreement of the Parties, and all promises, representations, understandings, warranties and agreements with reference to the subject matter hereof, and all inducements to the making of this Agreement relied upon by all the Parties hereto, have been expressed herein or in such Roivant Disclosure Schedule, Exhibits or such other agreements and this Agreement, including such Roivant Disclosure Schedule, Schedules, Exhibits and such other agreements, supersedes any prior understandings, negotiations, agreements or representations by or among the Parties, written or oral, to the extent they related in any way to the subject matter hereof or thereof. Neither this Agreement nor any of the terms or provisions hereof are binding upon or enforceable against any Party hereto unless and until the same is executed and delivered by all of the Parties hereto.

 

SECTION 12.05                                   Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements and other provisions set forth in this Agreement and made by or on behalf of any of the Parties hereto will bind, and inure to the benefit of, the successors (including any successor by merger, consolidation or division), heirs and permitted assigns of such Party. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned by a member of the Roivant Group without the prior written consent of Sumitomo, or assigned by Sumitomo without the prior written consent of Roivant, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, that Sumitomo (including a member of the Contributed Entity Group after the Closing) may without obtaining the prior written consent of Roivant, assign any of its rights, or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement to any Affiliate of Sumitomo so long as (i) Sumitomo also remains obligated for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and (ii) if such assignment is contemplated to occur prior to the Closing, such assignment would not reasonably be expected to have a Sumitomo Material Adverse Effect. Roivant will execute such acknowledgments of such assignments in such forms as Sumitomo may from time to time reasonably request. Any purported assignment or delegation of rights or obligations in violation of this Section 12.05 is void and of no force or effect.

 

SECTION 12.06                                   Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended except (a) prior to the Closing, by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties hereto and (b) after the Closing, by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Sumitomo and Roivant.

 

SECTION 12.07                                   Waiver. Each Party to this Agreement may: (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Parties, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Parties contained herein or in any document delivered by the other Party or Parties pursuant hereto or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements of the other Parties or conditions to such Parties’ obligations contained herein. Any such extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Party to be bound thereby. Except where a specific period for action or inaction is provided herein, neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any waiver on the part of any Party of any such right, power or privilege, nor any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or privilege. The failure of a Party

 

128


 

to exercise any right conferred herein within the time required will cause such right to terminate with respect to the transaction or circumstances giving rise to such right, but not to any such right arising as a result of any other transactions or circumstances.

 

SECTION 12.08                                   No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of, the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement and all of its conditions and provisions are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement (except as provided in this Section 12.08), express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person, including any union or any Roivant Worker, other than the Parties hereto, any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement or any provision hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) each of this Section 12.08 and Article X is intended to be for the benefit of, and enforceable by, the Roivant Indemnified Parties and the Sumitomo Indemnified Parties, as applicable, and (b) each of this Section 12.08 and Section 7.15 is intended to be for the benefit of, and enforceable by, the D&O Indemnitees.

 

SECTION 12.09                                   Specific Performance. Each of the Parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the other Parties would be damaged irreparably, and in a manner for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the Parties hereto agrees that the other Parties will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law or in equity.  Each Party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees (a) to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any equitable remedy and (b) not to assert that a remedy of specific performance is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable Law or inequitable for any reason, or to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy. Each Party hereto also irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submits to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in connection with any Action brought in accordance with this Section 12.09, and agrees that it will not bring any such Action in any other court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or if (and only if) such court finds it lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any state or federal court sitting in the State of Delaware, and appellate courts thereof (the “Chosen Court”), (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (iii) agrees to waive, and not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, in any such Action, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the action is improper or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by the above-named court and (iv) agrees to waive any right to trial of any issue by jury. With respect to any claims brought in accordance with this Section 12.09, each Party acknowledges and agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by delivery to and, to the Party’s respective address set forth in, Section 12.02 shall be effective service of process for any such Action. The Parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law.

 

129


 

SECTION 12.10                                   Governing Law. This Agreement (and any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement) will be governed by the Law of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

 

SECTION 12.11                                   Dispute Resolution and Venue.

 

(a)                               Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity of this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents, including any claim based on contract, tort, statute, or constitution, or the determination of the scope or applicability of this Agreement to arbitrate, will be determined by binding arbitration seated in Paris, France. The arbitration will be conducted in English in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”), as modified in this Section 12.11. The arbitration shall be administered by the ICC in accordance with those rules.

 

(i)                                  The arbitration shall be conducted before three arbitrators (each, an “Arbitrator” and collectively, the “Tribunal”). One Arbitrator shall be selected by each of Sumitomo and Roivant. The third Arbitrator (the “Chair”) shall be selected by the other two Arbitrators or by the ICC if the two Party-appointed arbitrators cannot agree on the Chair.

 

(ii)                              The Tribunal or the Chair will have the power to order hearings and meetings to be held in such place or places as he or she or they deem in the interests of reducing the total cost to the parties of the arbitration. The arbitration proceedings will be conducted in English.

 

(iii)                          The Tribunal will have the power to order any remedy, including monetary damages, specific performance and all other forms of legal and equitable relief, except that the tribunal will not have the power to order punitive damages.

 

(iv)                          The Tribunal will have the power to issue any order or award to continue the Escrow Fund and more generally in relation to the Escrow Fund, until the amount of an estimated or anticipated Damages set forth in a Claim Certificate is finally determined by agreement between the Parties or by a final award.

 

(v)                              The Tribunal shall apply in the arbitration, in addition to the ICC Rules of Arbitration, the IBA Rules on the Taking of Evidence in International Arbitration.

 

(vi)                          The Tribunal may appoint expert witnesses only with the consent of all of the parties to the arbitration.

 

(vii)                      The award rendered by the Tribunal will be final and binding on the parties to the arbitration. Judgment on the award rendered by the Arbitrator or the Tribunal may be entered by any court having jurisdiction, or application may be made to such court for judicial recognition and enforcement of the award or for vacatur thereof, as the case may be. In conducting such proceedings, the Parties will exercise best efforts to disclose publicly only the minimum amount of information concerning the arbitration as is required to obtain such acceptance or order.

 

130


 

(viii)                  Except as required by Law or in proceedings seeking the enforcement or vacatur of an arbitral award, no Party may disclose the existence, contents or results of an arbitration brought in accordance with this Agreement, or the documents presented and evidence produced by its opposing Parties, or any analyses or summaries derived from such evidence. To the extent permitted by Law, the arbitration shall be considered and treated by the Parties as a confidential proceeding.

 

(b)                              Each Party hereby agrees that this Agreement does not preclude any Party from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from any Chosen Court or from the arbitral tribunal once the arbitral tribunal is constituted. Each of the Parties will submit itself and its property to the personal jurisdiction of the court described in the first sentence of this subparagraph provided that the proceedings have been initiated to seek provisional remedies in aid of arbitration, will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other application, will not bring any Action relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions in any other court and will not assert as a defense that such Action may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or the Ancillary Documents may not be enforced in or by such courts.

 

(c)                               Delivery of process or other papers in the manner provided in Section 12.02 (Notices) in connection with any Action under this Agreement or in such other manner as may be permitted by Law will be valid and sufficient service thereof, and each Party irrevocably waives any defenses it may have to service in such manner.

 

(d)                             The Parties acknowledge that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event is anything in this Section 12.11 intended to limit, or shall be construed to limit, in any manner, the Parties’ rights to seek specific performance in an Action instituted in any Chosen Court as set forth in Section 12.09.

 

SECTION 12.12                                   Cumulative Remedies. Subject to Section 10.10, all rights and remedies of the Parties hereto are cumulative of each other and of every other right or remedy any such Party may otherwise have at law or in equity, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies will not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies.

 

SECTION 12.13                                   Representation by Counsel. Each Party hereto represents and agrees with each other that it has been represented by or had the opportunity to be represented by, independent counsel of its own choosing, and that it has had the full right and opportunity to consult with its respective attorney(s), that to the extent, if any, that it desired, it availed itself of this right and opportunity, that it or its authorized officers (as the case may be) have carefully read and fully understand this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents in their entirety and have had it fully explained to them by such Party’s respective counsel, that each is fully aware of the contents thereof and its meaning, intent and legal effect, and that it or its authorized officer (as the case may be) is competent to execute this Agreement and has executed this Agreement free from coercion, duress or undue influence. The Parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement in connection with the Transactions, with the opportunity to seek advice as to their legal rights from such counsel. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement is to be construed as jointly drafted by the Parties hereto and

 

131


 

no presumption or burden of proof is to arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement or by reason of the extent to which any such provision is inconsistent with any prior draft hereof.

 

SECTION 12.14                                   Execution and Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which when executed will be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. The Parties agree that this Agreement will be legally binding upon the electronic transmission, including by facsimile or email, by each Party of a signed signature page to this Agreement to the other Party.

 

SECTION 12.15                                   Disclosure. Nothing in the Roivant Disclosure Schedule will be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein unless the Roivant Disclosure Schedule identifies the exception with particularity and describes the relevant facts in reasonable detail; provided that any information disclosed in one section or subsection of the Roivant Disclosure Schedule shall also be deemed to be disclosed for purposes of other sections or subsections of the Roivant Disclosure Schedule if (a) reference is expressly made to such other section or subsection (by cross-reference or otherwise) or (b) it is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure that such disclosure applies to such other representations and warranties.

 

SECTION 12.16                                   Interpretation.
