On June 18, 2022, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York entered an order confirming the joint plan of reorganization (as amended, restated, modified, revised or supplemented from time to time, the “Plan”) filed by the Debtors and dated as of May 25, 2022 [ECF No. 5753]. Pursuant to the Plan, on September 13, 2022, the Debtors commenced the preemptive rights offerings for the New Convertible Notes Class A, New Convertible Notes Class B, New Convertible Notes Class C (collectively, “New Convertible Notes”) and ERO New Common Stock (each as defined in the Plan), which offerings concluded on October 12, 2022. On November 3, 2022, the Plan became effective pursuant to its terms and the Issuer emerged from bankruptcy. In connection with the Issuer’s emergence, the Reporting Persons’ shares of Common Stock originally received pursuant to the Subscription Agreement were substantially diluted to approximately 0.01% of the Issuer’s Common Stock, which comprises 606,407,693,000 issued and outstanding shares in total. Further, in connection with the Issuer’s emergence, the Reporting Persons converted approximately $657 million of New Convertible Notes Class B into 60,580,128,481 new shares of Common Stock. As a result of the conversion of its New Convertible Notes Class B, the Reporting Persons now hold approximately 10% of the Issuer’s Common Stock.

On November 3, 2022, QAI UK entered into a shareholders agreement (the “Shareholders Agreement”) with the members of the Parent GUC Ad Hoc Group (as defined therein), the Cueto group and Delta. The Shareholders Agreement will implement the initial composition of the board of directors of the Issuer contemplated under the Plan in accordance with Chilean law, and provides that for a period of two years after the date of the first shareholders’ meeting following the effective date of the Plan, all parties to the Shareholders Agreement shall vote their shares and use reasonable best efforts to cause the board of directors of the Issuer to be comprised of five directors nominated by the Parent GUC Ad Hoc Group, one director nominated by QAI UK, one director nominated by Delta, and two directors nominated by the Cueto group. In addition, for the first five years following the date of execution of the Shareholders Agreement, recoveries on, or distributions with respect to, QAI UK’s shares, along with those of Delta and the Cueto group, issued upon conversion of their New Convertible Notes Class B will be subordinated to any recoveries on, or distributions with respect to, certain of the shares held by the Parent GUC Ad Hoc Group upon the occurrence of a liquidation event (as defined therein), until the Parent GUC Ad Hoc Group (or any of their assignees who execute joinders to the Shareholders Agreement) have recovered the entire amount represented by their shares.

Additionally, on November 3, 2022, QAI UK entered into an agreement (as amended and restated as of November 10, 2022, the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Issuer, the Parent GUC Ad Hoc Group, Delta and the Cueto group that provides for customary registration rights with respect to the Issuer’s Common Stock.

The foregoing descriptions of the Shareholders’ Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement are qualified in then entirety by the express terms of such agreements, a copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 7.7 and 7.8, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

The Reporting Persons understand that as of the date hereof, Delta holds approximately 10% and the Cueto group holds approximately 5% of the Issuer’s Common Stock, and with respect to all of the individual members of the Parent GUC Ad Hoc Group party to the Shareholders Agreement, such parties, if aggregated together, hold approximately 65% of the Issuer’s Common Stock as of the date of the Shareholders Agreement on an as-converted basis assuming conversion of all the New Convertible Notes held by such parties.

The Reporting Persons disclaim membership in a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Act and beneficial ownership over any of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by any other person, including the Other Shareholders or any member of the Parent GUC Ad Hoc Group, and nothing in this Amendment No. 5 shall be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are members of a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Act and Regulation 13D-G thereunder.


Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a)    The Reporting Persons beneficially own 60,640,769,249 or approximately 10.0% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully-converted basis assuming the anticipated conversion of all the New Convertible Notes

(b)    The Reporting Persons have the shared power to vote, or direct the vote, and the shared power to dispose, or direct the disposal of, the 60,640,769,249 shares of Common Stock owned by the Reporting Persons.

In furtherance of the

 

9


foregoing and in connection therewith all subordinated Supporting Shareholders agree to transfer and, if applicable, shall cause their respective affiliates and subsidiaries to transfer or cause to be transferred such pro rata right to receive a Liquidation Event Distribution to the Senior Holders and, in connection therewith, each Supporting Shareholder shall (until a Full Recovery), instruct and/or cause LATAM Parent to pay any applicable Liquidation Event Distribution due to a Supporting Shareholder directly to the Senior Holders. If, prior to the Full Recovery, any of the Supporting Shareholders receives any Liquidation Event Distribution such payments shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Senior Holders and such Supporting Shareholders shall promptly remit (or cause to be promptly remitted), or deliver (or cause to be delivered), such Liquidation Event Distribution to the appropriate Senior Holders thereof in each case in the applicable proportions due and owing to the applicable Senior Holders.

The provisions of this Section 3.01 constitute a continuing agreement and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 5.01, (ii) be binding upon each Supporting Shareholder and the other parties hereto and their respective successors, transferees and assignees, and (iii) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Senior Holders.

To the extent necessary under Applicable Law to effectuate the terms of this Section 3.01, the Supporting Shareholders further agree and irrevocably undertake to grant full authority, discretion and power of attorney over their respective pro rata rights to a Liquidation Event Distribution under Applicable Law and relating to their subordinated interests to such other applicable Senior Holders, in the form attached as Exhibit [1] hereto, and such Senior Holders shall retain any distribution or recovery that would otherwise have been received by the Supporting Shareholders, until the Senior Holders have received Full Recovery.

Nothing contained in this Shareholders Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of future preemptive rights that may correspond to a Shareholder, nor an obligation to waive or dispose in any manner any such preemptive rights.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and each Holder hereby agree as follows:


1.

Registration.

 

(a)

Shelf Registration.

 

  (i)

Filing and Effectiveness of Shelf Registration Statement. On August 12, 2022, the Company filed with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form F-1 covering the resale of all Registrable Securities beneficially owned from time to time by the Holders on a delayed or continuous basis (as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the SEC on October 26, 2022, the “Form F-1 Shelf”). As soon as reasonably practicable after the Company becomes eligible to use Form F-3, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form F-1 Shelf to a Registration Statement on Form F-3 (or other appropriate short form registration statement then permitted by the SEC’s rules and regulations) (the “Form F-3 Shelf” and together with the Form F-1 Shelf, the “Shelf Registration Statement”) covering the resale of all applicable Registrable Securities beneficially owned from time to time by the Holders from time to time (which shall be an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement if the Company is a WKSI).

 

  (ii)

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, including any applicable Blackout Period, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act at such time as is requested by the Necessary Backstop Parties or as promptly as practicable thereafter, provided that, (x) to the extent necessary or desirable, the Company shall amend or refile the Shelf Registration Statement so as to become effective at such time, (y) the Company shall not file or seek the effectiveness of any other registration statement (other than the Shelf Registration Statement) under the Securities Act for the offer and sale of Ordinary Shares or ADS in the public securities markets prior to the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, and (z) the Company shall, at any time prior to the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, suspend and halt its efforts to have the Shelf Registration Statement declared effective upon the request of the Necessary Backstop Parties, until such time as the Necessary Backstop Parties shall request that the Company resume its efforts to have the Shelf Registration Statement declared effective. From and after the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act (and, if the Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective for any reason, as promptly as practicable, use commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions, including to make all required filings with the SEC, so as to resume the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement) until the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement are no longer Registrable Securities, including, to the extent a Form F-1 Shelf is converted to a Form F-3 Shelf and the Company thereafter becomes ineligible to use Form F-3, by using commercially reasonable efforts to file a Form F-1 Shelf or other appropriate form specified by the SEC’s rules and regulations as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of such ineligibility and using its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Shelf Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (the period during which the Company is required to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act in accordance with this Section 1(a)(ii), the “Shelf Period”).

 

  (iii)

The Company shall, within one (1) Business Day after the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement, notify the Holders named in the Shelf Registration Statement via e-mail to the addresses set forth on Schedule I hereof of the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement. The Company shall file a final Prospectus in respect of such Shelf Registration Statement with the SEC to the extent required by Rule 424 under the Securities Act. The “Plan of Distribution” section of such Shelf Registration Statement shall include and permit all methods of distribution permitted by applicable law, including underwritten offerings, at-the market transactions, brokerage transactions (including on an exchange or over-the-counter), private transactions, Bought Deals (as defined below), block trades, through options, short sales, forward sales, puts, agented transactions, stock lending transactions and hedging and other derivative transactions, including the means of distribution described in the form set forth in Exhibit C hereto (which may be amended from time to time to the extent necessary to permit additional lawful means of distribution); provided that (x) all distributions must be preceded by a Distribution Request, and (y) such distribution shall not include ordinary way sales on an exchange or in the over-the-counter market or in private transactions that are not block trades occurring prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the Effective Date, and after the six (6) month anniversary of the Effective Date such sales may only be made pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement by Holders that are unable to sell without limitation as to volume or manner of sale under Rule 144; and provided

 

2


  further that no prospectus or prospectus supplement issued pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement shall contain any plan of distribution that conflicts with the preceding clauses (x) and (y). For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations on underwritten offerings shall be as provided below in Section 1(a)(vi), and otherwise there shall be no limits (other than for cooling-off periods as provided in Section 1(a)(ix), or Blackout Periods as provided in Section 1(e)). Each of the foregoing methods of distribution (other than underwritten offerings) is referred to in this Agreement as an “Alternative Transaction.” The term “Distribution Request” means in the case of an Underwritten Offering, an Underwritten Offering Request, and, in the case of an Alternative Transaction, notice of such Alternative Transaction delivered to the Company not later than one (1) Business Day prior to the initiation thereof.

 

  (iv)

Holder Information. Each Holder seeking to include any of its Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement must deliver (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be by email) to the Company a fully completed notice and questionnaire in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Questionnaire”) and such other information in writing as the Company may reasonably request in writing for use in connection with the Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein and in any application to be filed with or under state securities laws (which such request shall be made at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of effectiveness of a Registration Statement) in accordance with Section 13(n). In order to be named as a selling securityholder in the Shelf Registration Statement at the time it is first made available for use, a Holder must furnish the completed Questionnaire and such other information that the Company may reasonably request in writing, if any, to the Company in writing no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the targeted date of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement; provided that any Holder providing a completed Questionnaire within that time period may provide updated information regarding such Holder’s beneficial ownership and the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included up to the second (2nd) Business Day prior to the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement. Each Holder as to which any Registration is being effected agrees to furnish to the Company all information with respect to such Holder necessary to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder not materially misleading.

 

  (v)

Supplements. From and after the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement, upon receipt of a completed Questionnaire and such other information that the Company may reasonably request in writing, if any, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in any event on or prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day after receipt of such information (or, if a Blackout Period is then in effect or initiated within ten (10) Business Days following the date of receipt of such information, the tenth (10th) Business Day following the end of such Blackout Period) either (i) if then permitted by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder (or then-current SEC interpretations thereof), a supplement to the Prospectus contained in the Shelf Registration Statement naming such Holder as a selling shareholder and containing such other information as necessary to permit such Holder to deliver the Prospectus to purchasers of the Holder’s Registrable Securities, or (ii) if it is not then permitted under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder (or then-current SEC interpretations thereof) to name such Holder as a selling shareholder in a supplement to the Prospectus, a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement or an additional Shelf Registration Statement as necessary for such Holder to be named as a selling shareholder in the Prospectus contained therein to permit such Holder to deliver the Prospectus to purchasers of the Holder’s Registrable Securities (subject, in the case of either clause (i) or clause (ii), to the Company’s right to delay filing or suspend the use of the Shelf Registration Statement as described in Section 1(e) hereof). If the Company is not a WKSI or is not otherwise eligible to add additional selling shareholders by means of a prospectus supplement, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to file more than one (1) post-effective amendment or additional Shelf Registration Statements in any fiscal quarter for all Holders pursuant to this Section 1(a)(v); provided that the foregoing limitation shall not apply if the Registrable Securities to be added represent beneficial ownership of more than $15 million of the Ordinary Shares (based on the closing price of the Ordinary Shares on the Business Day prior to the filing of such post-effective amendment or additional Shelf Registration Statement, to the extent the Ordinary Shares are then listed on the Trading Market, or as determined in good faith by the Company to the extent the Ordinary Shares are

 

3


  not then listed on the Trading Market (the “Filing Value”)). If the Company is a WKSI or is otherwise eligible to add additional selling shareholders by means of a prospectus supplement, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to file more than two (2) prospectus supplements for all Holders pursuant to this Section 1(a)(v) in any fiscal quarter; provided that the foregoing limitation shall not apply if the Registrable Securities to be added represent beneficial ownership of more than $15 million of the Ordinary Shares (based on the Filing Value).

 

  (vi)

Underwritten Offerings. At any time during the Shelf Period (subject to any Blackout Period), any one or more Backstop Parties who, together with their Affiliates, beneficially own in the aggregate at least five percent (5%) of the Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding on the Effective Date (such Backstop Parties, the “Threshold Backstop Parties”) may request to sell all or any portion of the Registrable Securities beneficially owned by such Threshold Backstop Parties in an underwritten Public Offering (including a “bought deal” or “overnight transaction,” (each, a “Bought Deal”) that is registered pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (each, an “Underwritten Offering”); provided, that (x) the first Underwritten Offering pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (the “Re-IPO”) may only be initiated by the Necessary Backstop Parties, and (y) the Company shall not be obligated to effect: (A) more than four (4) Underwritten Offerings pursuant to this Section 1(a)(vi) in any consecutive 12-month period; or (B) any Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 1(a)(vi) if the aggregate proceeds expected to be received from the sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be sold in such Underwritten Offering, in the good faith judgment of the managing underwriter(s) therefor, is less than (A) in the case of the Re-IPO, $200 million, and (B) in the case of any subsequent Underwritten Offering, $100 million, as of the date the Company receives an Underwritten Offering Request, provided further, that the Shareholder Backstop Parties shall not initiate any Underwritten Offerings pursuant to this Section 1(a)(vi) until the expiration of the four year period referenced in the Section entitled “Conversion Mechanics and Conversion Ratio” of the New Convertible Notes Class B Term Sheet attached to the Restructuring Support Agreement (the “Class B Restriction Period”) and thereafter may initiate one (1) in any consecutive 12-month period, and provided further, that (A) a Bought Deal shall not constitute an Underwritten Offering for purposes of the limitation set forth in the preceding clauses (x) and (y), and (B) a block trade or other Alternative Transaction shall not constitute an Underwritten Offering.

 

  (vii)

Notice of Underwritten Offering. All requests for Underwritten Offerings pursuant to Section 1(a)(vi) shall be made by giving written notice to the Company (each, an “Underwritten Offering Request”, and the Holder(s) initiating such request, the “Requesting Holders”). Each Underwritten Offering Request shall specify the approximate number of Ordinary Shares to be sold in the Underwritten Offering and the expected aggregate proceeds of such Underwritten Offering. Subject to Section 1(e) below, after receipt of any Underwritten Offering Request, the Company shall give written notice (the “Underwritten Offering Notice”) of such requested Underwritten Offering (which notice shall state the material terms of such proposed Underwritten Offering, to the extent known) to all other Holders that have Registrable Securities registered for sale under the Shelf Registration Statement (“Shelf Registrable Securities”). Such Underwritten Offering Notice shall be given at least three (3) Business Days prior to the expected date of commencement of marketing efforts for such Underwritten Offering. Subject to Section 1(c)(ii), the Company shall include in such Underwritten Offering all Shelf Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein as promptly as practicable after the giving of the Underwritten Offering Notice.

 

  (viii)

Priority of Registrable Securities. If the managing underwriters for an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 1(a)(vi) advise the Company and the holders of Shelf Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such Underwritten Offering that in their reasonable view the number of Shelf Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such Underwritten Offering exceeds the number of Shelf Registrable Securities which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Requesting Holders (the “Maximum Offering Size”), then the Company shall promptly give written notice to all holders of Shelf Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such Underwritten Offering of such Maximum Offering Size, and shall include in such Underwritten Offering the number of Shelf Registrable Securities which can be so sold in the following order of priority, up to the Maximum Offering Size: (x) in the case of a Re-IPO, (A) first, the Shelf Registrable

 

4


  Securities requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering by all Holders, allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among such Holders on the basis of the number of Shelf Registrable Securities requested to be included therein by each such Holder (provided, that each such Holder shall have executed a Lock-Up Agreement, if requested by the managing underwriters), and (B) second, any securities proposed to be offered by the Company or third party holders, and (y) in the case of any subsequent Underwritten Offerings, (A) first, the Shelf Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering by the Requesting Holders, allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among such Holders on the basis of the number of Shelf Registrable Securities requested to be included therein by each such Holder, (B) second, the Shelf Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering by all other Holders, allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among such Holders on the basis of the number of Shelf Registrable Securities requested to be included therein by each such Holder, and (C) third, any securities proposed to be offered by the Company or third party holders.

 

  (ix)

Restrictions on Timing of Underwritten Offerings Pursuant to Section 1(a)(vi). The Company shall not be obligated to effect an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 1(a)(vi) within sixty (60) days after the initiation of a previous Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 1(a)(vi), provided that for an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 1(a)(vi) that is a Bought Deal, the Company shall not be obligated to effect an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 1(a)(vi) within thirty (30) days after the initiation of a previous Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 1(a)(vi).

For the avoidance of doubt, if there is any withdrawal of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1(a)(xi) that reduces the amount of Shelf Registrable Securities proposed to be included in an Underwritten Offering to an amount below the thresholds required for an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 1(a)(iv), then such Underwritten Offering does not apply against the limitations on the number of Underwritten Offerings set forth in Section 1(a)(vi).

 

(b)

Demand Registration.

 

  (i)

If the Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective or, following its effectiveness, ceases to be effective or is otherwise unavailable for any reason (other than as a result of a Blackout Period), upon written notice to the Company (a “Demand Request”) delivered by the Threshold Backstop Parties, requesting that the Company effect the registration (a “Demand Registration”) under the Securities Act of any or all of the Registrable Securities beneficially owned by such Holder(s), the Company shall give a notice of the receipt of such Demand Request (a “Demand Notice”) to all other Holders of Registrable Securities (which notice shall state the material terms of such proposed Demand Registration, to the extent known). Such Demand Notice shall be given not more than ten (10) Business Days and not less than five (5) Business Days, in each case prior to the expected date of the

For the avoidance of doubt, the “Plan of Distribution” section of the requested Demand Registration Statement shall comply with the provisions specified for the Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 1(a)(iii). Anything to the contrary in this Section 1(b)(i) notwithstanding, however, unless a Re-IPO has earlier occurred or at the time there are no Necessary Backstop Parties without giving effect to clause (iii) of the definition thereof, a Demand Request may only be delivered by the Necessary Backstop Parties, in which case the applicable Demand Registration, if consummated, shall be deemed a “Demand Re-IPO”, and such Demand Request shall comply with the provisions therefor set forth in Section 1(a)(vi).

 

  (ii)

Demand Registration Using Form F-3. The Company shall effect any requested Demand Registration using a Registration Statement on Form F-3 whenever the Company is a Seasoned Issuer or a WKSI, and shall use an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement if it is a WKSI.

 

  (iii)

Limitations on Demand Registrations. The Company shall not be obligated to effect (x) more than four (4) Underwritten Demands (together with any Underwritten Offerings pursuant to Section 1(a)(vi)) in any consecutive 12-month period; or (y) any Underwritten Demand if the aggregate gross proceeds expected to be received from the sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be sold in such Underwritten Demand, in the good faith judgment of the managing underwriter(s) therefor, is less than $100 million as of the date the Company receives a Demand Request, provided, that the Shareholder Backstop Parties shall not initiate any Underwritten Demands until the expiration of the Class B Restriction Period and thereafter may initiate one (1) in any consecutive 12-month period; and provided further that a Bought Deal or block trade or other Alternative Transaction shall not constitute an Underwritten Demand for purposes of the limitation set forth in the preceding clauses (x) and (y). The Company shall not be obligated to effect a Demand Registration within sixty (60) days after the consummation of a previous sale of all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering or Demand Registration. For the avoidance of doubt, if an Underwritten Offering or an Underwritten Demand is commenced but not consummated due to a suspension of sales by the Company pursuant to a Blackout Period, the restriction in the foregoing sentence shall not apply.

 

  (iv)

Effectiveness of Demand Registration Statement. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Demand Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as promptly as practicable after filing and keep the Demand Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act for the period of time necessary for the underwriters or Holders to sell all the Registrable Securities covered by such Demand Registration Statement or such shorter period which will terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by such Demand Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto (including, if necessary, by filing with the SEC a post-effective amendment or a supplement to the Demand Registration Statement or the related prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or by filing any other required document or otherwise supplementing or amending the Demand Registration Statement, if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Demand Registration Statement or by the Securities Act, any state securities or “blue sky” laws, or any other rules and regulations thereunder) (the “Effectiveness Period”). A Demand Registration shall not be deemed to have occurred (A) if the Demand Registration Statement is withdrawn without becoming effective, (B) if the Demand Registration Statement does not remain effective in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act and the laws of any state or other jurisdiction applicable to the disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement for the Effectiveness Period, (C) if, after it has become effective, such Demand Registration Statement is subject to any stop order, injunction or

 

6


  other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental or regulatory agency or court for any reason other than a violation of applicable law solely by any selling Holder and has not thereafter become effective, (D) in the event of a Demand Registration conducted as an underwritten Public Offering (an “Underwritten Demand”), if the conditions to closing specified in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied or waived other than solely by reason of some act or omission by a Holder, or (E) if the number of Registrable Securities included on the applicable Registration Statement is reduced in accordance with Section 1(b)(v) such that less than seventy five percent (75%) of the Registrable Securities of the Holders of Registrable Securities who sought to be included in such registration are so included in such Registration Statement.

 

  (v)

Priority of Registration. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1(b), if (A) a Demand Registration is an Underwritten Demand and (B) the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their reasonable judgment, the number of Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such offering (including Registrable Securities requested by Holders to be included in such Public Offering and any securities that the Company or any other Person proposes to be included that are not Registrable Securities) exceeds the Maximum Offering Size, then the Company shall so advise the Holders with Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such Underwritten Demand, and shall include in such offering the number of Registrable Securities which can be so sold in the following order of priority, up to the Maximum Offering Size: (x) in the case of a Demand Re-IPO, (A) first, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Underwritten Demand by all Holders, allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among such Holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included therein by each such Holder (provided, that each such Holder shall have executed a Lock-Up Agreement, if requested by the managing underwriters), and (B) second, any securities proposed to be offering by the Company, and (y) in the case of any subsequent Underwritten Demand, (A) first, in connection with an Underwritten Demand, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Underwritten Demand by those Holders initially delivering such Demand Request, allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among such Holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included therein by each such Holders; (B) second, in connection with an Underwritten Demand, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Underwritten Demand by all Holders of such Registrable Securities not described in the foregoing clause (A), allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among such Holders on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included therein by each such Holders, and (C) third, any securities proposed to be offered by the Company.

 

  (vi)

Underwritten Demand. The determination of whether any Public Offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration will be an Underwritten Demand shall be made in the sole discretion of the Holders making the Demand Request for such Demand Registration and, subject to Section 2(z), such Holders shall (A) have the right to determine the plan of distribution, the price at which the Registrable Securities are to be sold and the underwriting commissions, discounts and fees and other financial terms and (B) select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the offering, including the lead managing underwriter(s) (which shall consist of one (1) or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks, subject to the Company’s approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)) and one (1) firm of legal counsel to represent all of the Holders (along with one (1) local counsel per jurisdiction, to the extent reasonably necessary, for any applicable jurisdiction), in connection with such Demand Registration.

 

  (vii)

Withdrawal of Registrable Securities. Any Holder whose Registrable Securities were to be included in any such registration pursuant to Section 1(b) may elect to withdraw any or all of its Registrable Securities therefrom, without liability to any of the other Holders and without prejudice to the rights of any such Holder to include Registrable Securities in any future registration (or registrations), by written notice to the Company and the underwriters (if any) delivered at any time on or prior to the Business Day prior to the effective date of the relevant Demand Registration Statement. For the avoidance of doubt, if there is any withdrawal of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1(b)(vii) that reduces the amount of Registrable Securities proposed to be included in a Demand Registration to an amount below the thresholds required for a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 1(b)(iii), then such Demand Registration does not apply against the limitations on the number of Demand Registration set forth in Section 1(b)(iii).

(c)

Piggyback Registration.

 

  (i)

Registration Statement on behalf of the Company. If at any time the Company proposes to (A) file a Registration Statement for the purpose of conducting an underwritten Public Offering or (B) conduct an underwritten Public Offering constituting a “takedown” (including a Bought Deal) of Ordinary Shares (a “Piggyback Takedown”) under a shelf registration statement (other than a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 1(a) or a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 1(b)) filed by the Company (as the case may be, a “Piggyback Offering”), and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities, the Company shall give prompt written notice (the “Piggyback Notice”) to all Holders (collectively, the “Piggyback Eligible Holders”) of the Company’s intention to conduct such underwritten Public Offering. The Piggyback Notice shall be given, (i) in the case of a Piggyback Offering that is a Piggyback Takedown, not earlier than ten (10) Business Days and not less than five (5) Business Days, in each case under this clause (i), prior to the expected date of commencement of marketing efforts for such Piggyback Takedown; or (ii) in the case of any other Piggyback Registration, not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the expected date of commencement of marketing efforts for such Piggyback Takedown. The Piggyback Notice shall offer the Piggyback Eligible Holders the opportunity to include in such Piggyback Offering the number of Registrable Securities of the same class and series as those proposed to be, as applicable, registered and/or offered pursuant to a Piggyback Takedown, as they may request, subject to Section 1(c)(ii) (a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to Section 1(c)(ii), the Company shall include in each such Piggyback Offering such Registrable Securities for which the Company has received written requests (each, a “Piggyback Request”) for inclusion therein from Piggyback Eligible Holders within (x) in the case of a Bought Deal, two (2) Business Days, (y) in the case of any other Piggyback Takedown, three (3) Business Days; or (z) otherwise, five (5) Business Days, in each case after the date of the Company’s notice; provided that the Company may not commence marketing efforts for such Public Offering until such periods have elapsed and the inclusion of all such securities so requested, subject to Section 1(c)(ii). If a Piggyback Eligible Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any Piggyback Offering thereafter filed by the Company, such Piggyback Eligible Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent Piggyback Offerings or Registration Statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of Registrable Securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, as applicable, effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register pursuant to the Piggyback Requests, or otherwise take all steps necessary, including by effecting a takedown under the Shelf Registration Statement, to include such Registrable Securities in the Piggyback Offering, to the extent required to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities so requested to be registered. There is no limitation on the number of Piggyback Registrations pursuant to this paragraph that the Company is required to effect.

 

  (ii)

Priority of Registration. If the managing underwriters of such Piggyback Offering made on behalf of the Company advise the Company and the Piggyback Eligible Holders in writing that, in their reasonable view the amount of securities requested to be included in such registration (including Registrable Securities requested by the Piggyback Eligible Holders to be included in such offering and if applicable Other Registrable Securities) exceeds the Maximum Offering Size (which for the purposes of a Piggyback Registration shall be within a price range acceptable to the Company), then the Company shall so advise all Piggyback Eligible Holders with Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such Piggyback Registration, and shall include in such offering the number which can be so sold in the following order of priority, up to the Maximum Offering Size: (A) first, (x) if the Piggyback Registration is with respect to a primary offering of the Company’s Capital Stock initiated by the Company, such securities that the Company proposes to sell up to the Maximum Offering Size, or (y) if the Piggyback Registration is an offering at the demand of the holders of Other Registrable Securities, the securities that such holders propose to sell and thereafter any securities proposed to be

 

8


  offered by the Company, in each case up to the Maximum Offering Size, (B) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration by each Piggyback Eligible Holder, allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata on the basis of the amount of Ordinary Shares or other Capital Stock constituting Registrable Securities requested in aggregate to be included therein and (C) third, the Other Registrable Securities (if any) requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration by any holder of Other Registrable Securities with rights to participate in such offering, allocated, if necessary, in accordance with the registration rights agreement governing the Other Registrable Securities. All Piggyback Eligible Holders requesting to be included in the Piggyback Registration must sell their Registrable Securities to the underwriters selected as provided in Section 1(c)(iv) on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Company.

 

  (iii)

Withdrawal from Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 1(c), whether or not any Piggyback Eligible Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such Shelf Registration Statement, without prejudice, however, to the right of the Holder immediately to request that such registration be effected as a registration under Section 1(b) to the extent permitted thereunder and subject to the terms set forth therein. Any Holder that has elected to include Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Offering may elect to withdraw such Holder’s Registrable Securities by written notice to the Company and the underwriters (if any) delivered at any time on or prior to the Business Day prior to the effective date of the relevant Registration Statement or the execution of the underwriting agreement entered into in connection therewith, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this Section 1(c)(iii).

 

  (iv)

Selection of Bankers and Counsel. If a Piggyback Registration pursuant to this Section 1(c) involves an underwritten Public Offering initiated by the Company, the Company shall have the right to (A) determine the plan of distribution, including the price at which the Registrable Securities are to be sold and the underwriting commissions, discounts and fees and (B) select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the Public Offering, including the lead managing underwriter(s) (each of which shall be reputable nationally recognized investment banks) (or, if such Piggyback Registration involves an underwritten Public Offering initiated by a third party, the determination of the plan of distribution and selection of investment bankers for such offering shall be in accordance with the applicable registration rights agreement between such third party and the Company). Holders of a Majority of Included Registrable Securities included in such underwritten Public Offering shall have the right to select one (1) firm of legal counsel to represent all of the Holders (along with any reasonably necessary local counsel), in connection with such Piggyback Registration.

 

  (v)

Effect of Piggyback Registration. No registration effected under this Section 1(c) shall relieve the Company of its obligations to effect any registration of the offer and sale of Registrable Securities upon request under Section 1(a) or Section 1(b) hereof and no registration effected pursuant to this Section 1(c) shall be deemed to have been effected pursuant to Section 1(a) or Section 1(b) hereof.

 

(d)

Notice Requirements. Any Demand Request, Piggyback Request or Underwritten Offering Request shall (i) specify the maximum number or class or series of Registrable Securities intended to be offered and sold by the Holder making the request, (ii) express such Holder’s bona fide intent to offer up to such maximum number of Registrable Securities for distribution, (iii) describe the nature or method of the proposed offer and sale of Registrable Securities (to the extent applicable), and (iv) contain the undertaking of such Holder to provide all such information and materials and take all action as may reasonably be required in order to permit the Company to comply with all applicable requirements in connection with the registration of such Registrable Securities.

 

(e)

Blackout Period. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1, the Company shall have the right but not the obligation to defer the filing of (but not the preparation of), or suspend the use by the Holders of, any Demand Registration or Shelf Registration, including in connection with the Re-IPO or Demand Re-IPO, as applicable, (whether prior to or after receipt by the Company of an Underwritten Offering Request or Demand Request) if the Company’s Board of Directors determines in its reasonable good faith judgment (with the advice

 

9


  of competent counsel expert in such matters) (i) that any such registration or offering would require the disclosure, under applicable securities laws and/or other laws, of material nonpublic information that would not otherwise be required to be disclosed at that time and the Company believes in good faith that such disclosures at that time would be materially adverse to the Company; provided that the exception in clause (i) shall continue to apply only during the time in which such material nonpublic information has not been disclosed and remains material; or (ii) that the offer or sale of Registrable Securities would, or would reasonably be expected to, materially impede, delay or interfere with any significant financing, significant acquisition, corporate reorganization or other significant transaction then pending or proposed to be taken by the Company or any of its subsidiaries (or any negotiations, discussions or pending proposals pending thereto); provided that, the period of any delay or suspension under exceptions (i) and/or (ii) shall not exceed a period of forty-five (45) days each, extendable by the Company’s Board of Directors up to a total of ninety (90) days, and any such delays or extensions shall not in aggregate exceed (x) two (2) in number or ninety (90) days, in each case in any consecutive twelve (12) month period (any such period, a “Blackout Period”, and any event triggering any such delay or suspension, a “Blackout Event”); provided, however, that in such event, the majority of requesting Holders will be entitled to withdraw any request for a Demand Registration or an Underwritten Offering and, if such request is withdrawn, such Demand Registration or Underwritten Offering will not count as a Demand Registration or an Underwritten Offering and the Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such registration, regardless of whether such registration is effected. The Company shall promptly give written notice to the Holders of Registrable Securities registered under or pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement or any Demand Registration with respect to its declaration of a Blackout Period and of the expiration of the relevant Blackout Period (a “Blackout Notice”). If the filing of any Demand Registration is suspended or an Underwritten Offering is delayed pursuant to this Section 1(e), once the Blackout Period ends, the Threshold Backstop Parties may request a new Demand Registration or a new Underwritten Offering (and such request shall not be counted as an additional Underwritten Offering or Demand Registration for purposes of either Section 1(a)(vi) or Section 1(b)(i)). The Company shall not include any material non-public information in the Blackout Notice and/or otherwise provide such information to a Holder unless specifically requested by a Holder in writing. A Holder shall not effect any sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement at any time after it has received a Blackout Notice and prior to receipt of an End of Blackout Notice. Holders may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement following further written notice from the Company to such effect (an “End of Blackout Notice”), which End of Blackout Notice shall be given by the Company to the Holders with Registrable Securities included on any suspended Registration Statement and counsel to the Holders, if any, promptly (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days) following the conclusion of any Blackout Event. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if the Company gives a Blackout Notice with respect to any Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 1(e), the Company agrees that it shall (i) extend the period which such Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from the date of receipt by the Holders of the Blackout Notice to and including the date of receipt by the Holders of the End of Blackout Notice; and (ii) promptly provide copies of any supplemented or amended prospectus necessary to resume sales, if requested by any Holder; provided that such period of time shall not be extended beyond the date that there are no longer Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement.

 

(f)

Required Information. The Company may require each Holder of Registrable Securities as to which any Registration Statement is being filed or sale is being effected to furnish to the Company such information regarding the distribution of such securities and such other information relating to such Holder and its ownership of Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing (provided that such information shall be used only in connection with such registration), and the Company may exclude from such registration or sale the Registrable Securities of any such Holder who fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request or who does not consent to the inclusion in a Registration Statement or Prospectus related to such registration or sale of such information related to such Holder that is required by the rules and regulations of the SEC. Each Holder agrees to furnish such information to the Company and to cooperate with the Company as reasonably necessary to enable the Company to comply with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

10


(g)

Other Registration Rights Agreements. The Company represents and warrants to each Holder that, as of the date of this Agreement, it has not entered into any agreement with respect to any of its securities granting any registration rights to any Person with respect to the Registrable Securities, other than as contemplated by the Plan. The Company will not enter into on or after the date of this Agreement, unless this Agreement is modified or waived as provided in Section 13(c) and/or Section 13(d), any agreement (x) that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders with respect to Registrable Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof in any material respect, or (y) the terms of which (i) are more favorable taken as a whole than the registration rights granted hereunder, or (ii) do not provide that in the event of a Piggyback Offering, Registrable Securities proposed to be offered by Holders pursuant to a Piggyback Request shall have priority over securities proposed to be offered by any other Person exercising piggyback rights.

 

2.

Registration Procedures. If and whenever registration of Registrable Securities is required pursuant to this Agreement, subject to the express terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the procedures to be followed by the Company and each participating Holder to register the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, and the respective rights and obligations of the Company and such Holders with respect to the preparation, filing and effectiveness of such Registration Statement, including in each case the offering of Registrable Securities on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement (and including in connection with a Piggyback Offering), are as follows:

 

(a)

The Company will (I) at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as shall be reasonably practicable or necessary under the circumstances, including in order to timely complete an Underwritten Offering or Alternative Transaction) prior to the anticipated filing of any Shelf Registration Statement, Demand Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or before using any “issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act), furnish to any Holder named as a selling shareholder (or selling shareholders) therein, the Backstop Party Counsel, and the managing underwriter or underwriters (selected as provided herein) of an underwritten Public Offering of Registrable Securities, if applicable, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed (subject in each case to such foregoing Persons entering into a customary confidentiality agreement with respect thereto if requested by the Company), (II) use its commercially reasonable efforts to address in each such document prior to being so filed with the SEC such comments as any of the foregoing Persons reasonably shall propose and (III) not include in any Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto information regarding a participating Holder to which a participating Holder reasonably objects; provided, however, the Company shall not be required to provide copies of any amendment or supplement filed solely to incorporate in any Form F-1 (or other form not providing for incorporation by reference) any filing by the Company under the Exchange Act or any amendment or supplement filed for the purpose of adding additional selling shareholders thereunder.

 

(b)

The Company shall (A) provide the Backstop Party Counsel copies of all substantive correspondence from the SEC received in connection with a Registration Statement as promptly as reasonably practicable following receipt, (B) respond to written comments received from the SEC upon a review of a Registration Statement in a timely manner, (C) prepare in good faith and promptly file any response letter to the SEC and any amendment necessary to respond to such written comments and (D) prior to such filing, furnish to the Backstop Party Counsel (and, upon request and subject to customary confidentiality provisions, the Backstop Parties) a draft of such letter and amendment at least two (2) Business Days prior to such filing, which letter and amendment shall be subject to the reasonable review and comment of such counsel, and the Company shall consider all reasonable comments of the Backstop Party Counsel received at least one (1) Business Day prior to such filing in good faith. Subject to Section 2(dd) below, the Company shall not be obligated to, and will not, share with Holders draft exhibits to any filings, and will omit from the draft filings shared with such Holders, disclosure regarding arrangements subject to confidentiality provisions, including any contracts between the Company and Delta Air Lines, Inc. or its Affiliates that has not been previously publicly disclosed (the “Confidential Arrangements”), prior to receiving written consent from the relevant counterparty for such disclosure to

 

11


  Holders, and the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to apply for and obtain confidential treatment from the SEC in respect of such exhibits, it being understood that (1) a filing or furnishing of such arrangements or contracts with the SEC shall be permitted by this provision, at such times and in such manner as deemed reasonably necessary by the Company in good faith in connection with the registration process for such Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement, and (2) neither the application for confidential treatment or the process of obtaining written consent from the relevant counterparty shall extend, waive or delay the filing date or any obligation of the Company under this Agreement to obtain effectiveness of any Registration Statement hereunder.

 

(c)

The Company will as promptly as reasonably practicable (i) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to each Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as (A) may be reasonably requested by any Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement necessary to permit such Holder to sell in accordance with its intended method of distribution, to the extent such intended method of distribution is consistent with Exhibit C hereto, or (B) may be necessary under applicable law to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered thereby for the periods provided herein, in accordance with the intended method of distribution.

 

(d)

The Company will make all required filing fee payments in respect of any Registration Statement or prospectus used under this Agreement (and any Public Offering covered thereby) within the deadlines specified by the Securities Act.

 

(e)

The Company will notify each Holder of Registrable Securities named as a selling shareholder in any Registration Statement and the managing underwriter or underwriters of an underwritten Public Offering of Registrable Securities, if applicable, (i) as promptly as reasonably practicable when any Registration Statement or post-effective amendment thereto has been declared effective; (ii) of the issuance or threatened issuance by the SEC or any other governmental or regulatory authority of any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for that purpose; (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; or (iv) of the discovery that, or upon the happening of any event the result of which, such Registration Statement or prospectus or issuer free writing prospectus relating thereto or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference contains an untrue statement in any material respect or omits any material fact necessary to make the statements in the Registration Statement or the prospectus or issuer free writing prospectus relating thereto (in the case of a prospectus or issuer free writing prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or when any issuer free writing prospectus includes information that may conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement or prospectus, or if, for any other reason, it shall be necessary during such time period to amend or supplement such Registration Statement or Prospectus in order to comply with the Securities Act, correct such misstatement or omission or effect such compliance.

 

(f)

Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 2(e)(iv), as promptly as reasonably practicable, the Company will (x) prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, if required by applicable law, to the affected Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference or to the applicable issuer free writing prospectus, (y) furnish, if requested, a reasonable number of copies of such supplement or amendment to the selling Holders, their counsel and the managing underwriter or underwriters of an underwritten Public Offering of Registrable Securities, if applicable, and (z) file such supplement, amendment and any other required document with the SEC so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of any Registrable Securities, such Registration Statement, such prospectus or issuer free writing prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus or issuer free writing prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and such issuer free writing prospectus shall not include information that conflicts with information contained in the Registration Statement or prospectus, in each case such that each selling Holder can resume disposition of such Registrable Securities covered by such

 

12


  Registration Statement or prospectus. Following receipt of notice of any event contemplated by clauses 2(e)(ii)-(iv), a Holder shall suspend sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement and shall not resume sales until such time as it has received written notice from the Company to such effect. The Company shall provide any supplemented or amended prospectus necessary to resume sales, if requested in writing by any Holder.

 

(g)

The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or the use of any prospectus filed pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, as promptly as practicable, or if any such order or suspension is made effective during any Blackout Period, as promptly as practicable after the Blackout Period is over.

 

(h)

The Company shall promptly furnish to the Holders such number of copies of such Shelf Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such Shelf Registration Statement and such other documents as the Holders may request in writing;

 

(i)

The Company will promptly deliver to each selling Holder and the managing underwriter or underwriters of an underwritten Public Offering of Registrable Securities, if applicable, without charge, as many copies of the applicable Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus, final Prospectus, and any other Prospectus (including any Prospectus filed under Rule 424, Rule 430A or Rule 430B promulgated under the Securities Act and any issuer free writing prospectus)), all exhibits and other documents filed therewith and such other documents as such selling Holder or underwriter may reasonably request in writing in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities by such selling Holder or underwriter, and upon request, a copy of any and all transmittal letters or other correspondence to or received from the SEC or any other governmental authority relating to such offer. Subject to Section 1(e) hereof, the Company consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders and any applicable underwriter in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.

 

(j)

The Company will (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement, no later than the time such Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, under all applicable securities laws (including the “blue sky” laws) of such jurisdictions each underwriter, if any, or any selling Holder shall reasonably request in writing; (ii) keep each such registration or qualification effective during the period such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective under the terms of this Agreement; and (iii) do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such underwriter, if any, and each selling Holder to consummate the disposition in each such jurisdiction of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to (x) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subparagraph, (y) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) consent to general service of process (other than service of process in connection with such registration or qualification or any sale of Registrable Securities in connection therewith) in any such jurisdiction.

 

(k)

The Company will cooperate with the Holders and the underwriter or managing underwriter of an underwritten Public Offering of Registrable Securities, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates or book-entry statements representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates or book-entry statements shall be free of all restrictive legends, indicating that the Registrable Securities are unregistered or unqualified for resale under the Securities Act, Exchange Act or other applicable securities laws, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Holders or the underwriter or managing underwriter of an underwritten Public Offering, as applicable, may reasonably request in writing and instruct any transfer agent and registrar of Registrable Securities, if any, to do the same. In connection therewith, if required by the Company’s transfer agent, the Company will promptly, after the effective date of the Registration Statement, cause an opinion of counsel as to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement to be delivered to and maintained with such transfer agent, together with any other authorizations, certificates and directions required

 

13

After written notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement subsequently made by the Indemnified Person without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). With respect to any such claim, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel and participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (1) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel and the payment of fees by the Indemnifying Party or (2) in the reasonable judgment of such Indemnified Person (A) representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (B) there would be rights or defenses that would be available to such Indemnified Person that are not available to the Indemnifying Party, in which case of (1) or (2), the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such separate counsel; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to one local legal counsel) for all Indemnified Persons by such Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of an Indemnified Person, a conflict of interest may exist between such Indemnified Person and any other of such Indemnified Persons with respect to such claim, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of one additional counsel (in addition to one local legal counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) with respect to each Indemnified Person having such conflict of interest. The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Persons reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect to such claim. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Person of a full and unconditional release from all liability with respect to such claim and does not include any statements as to or any findings of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any such Indemnified Person.

 

20


(d)

The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an Indemnified Person or any officer, director, partner, manager, member, investment manager, employee, agent, representative or controlling Person of such Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Person against the Indemnifying Party or others, and (ii) any liabilities to which the Indemnifying Party may be subject pursuant to the law.

 

(e)

If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is unavailable to or is insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Person under the provisions above in respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each applicable Indemnifying Party agrees to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) to which such Indemnifying Party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Person, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, or the Indemnified Person, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6(e) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders holding Registrable Securities or any agents or underwriters or all of them were treated as a single entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 6(e). The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 6(e) shall be deemed to include any reasonable legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(e), (i) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (ii) contribution by each Holder shall be limited in amount to the net amount of proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the applicable Shelf Registration Statement, less the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay in connection with such sale pursuant to this Agreement.

  (ii)

Without the consent of the Company or any other person, a transferee of a Holder that holds Registrable Securities will succeed to the rights of such transferring Holder hereunder, but solely (for all purposes) with respect to the Registrable Securities acquired from such Holder, so long as, (1) in any case, such transfer is completed in accordance with applicable Law, and (2) (a) such transferee is, prior to such transfer, an existing Holder party to this Agreement, or (b) such transferee is an Affiliate of the transferring Holder and, to the extent not already party hereto, executes a Joinder Agreement, in the form of Exhibit B to this Agreement and delivers such Joinder Agreement to the Company, or (c) such transferee, together with all parties with whom its holdings are aggregated for purposes of Rule 144, owns Ordinary Shares and ADS representing at least 1% of the Ordinary Shares (on an Ordinary Share-equivalent basis) outstanding at the time of the transfer after giving effect to such transfer, and, to the extent not already party hereto, executes a Joinder Agreement, in the form of Exhibit B to this Agreement and delivers such Joinder Agreement to the Company.

Plan of Distribution

We are registering the offer and sale of up to                  common shares and the ADSs that represent these shares, to permit the resale of these common shares and ADSs by the Selling Shareholders and their permitted transferees from time to time after the date of this prospectus. For purposes of this Plan of Distribution, references to the ADSs include the common shares represented by those ADSs and references to Selling Shareholders include donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors in interest selling securities received after the date of this prospectus from a Selling Securityholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer. The ADSs covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time by the Selling Shareholders. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the Selling Shareholders of the common shares or the ADSs. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the common shares and the ADSs.

The ADSs may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at privately negotiated prices. The Selling Shareholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale.

The Selling Shareholders may offer and sell all or a portion of the ADSs covered by this prospectus from time to time, in one or more or any combination of the following transactions:

 

   

on the NYSE or on any other national securities exchange or quotation service on which the ADSs may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;

 

   

in underwritten offerings;

 

   

in privately negotiated transactions, at-the market transactions, “overnight transactions” or block trades;

 

   

through purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;

 

   

through ordinary brokerage transactions (including on an exchange or over-the-counter) and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;

 

   

through options, short sales, forward sales, puts, agented transactions, stock lending transactions and hedging and other derivative transactions;

 

   

through pledges of the ADSs to secure debts and other obligations;

 

   

in the over-the-counter market;

 

   

through trading plans entered into pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act that are in place at the time of an offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement hereto that provide for periodic sales of their securities on the basis of parameters described in such trading plans;

 

   

through the distribution by any selling shareholder to its employees, partners (including limited partners), members or equity holders;

 

   

through a combination of any of the above methods of sale; or

 

   

through any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law,


EXHIBIT C

 

; provided that (i) all distributions must be preceded by a Distribution Request (as defined in the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement), and (ii) such distribution shall not include ordinary way sales on an exchange or in the over-the-counter market or in private transactions that are not block trades occurring prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the Effective Date, and after the six (6) month anniversary of the Effective Date such sales may only be made pursuant to this prospectus by Holders that are unable to sell without limitation as to volume or manner of sale under Rule 144.

Instead of selling the ADSs under this prospectus, the Selling Shareholders may sell all or a portion of the ADSs offered by this prospectus in compliance with the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or pursuant to other available exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, provided that such sales meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of such exemptions.

To the extent required with respect to a particular offering, an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is part, will be prepared and will set forth the following information:

 

   

the name of the participating broker-dealer(s);

 

   

the specific securities involved;

 

   

the initial price at which such securities are to be sold;

 

   

the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable; and

 

   

other facts material to the transaction.

The Selling Shareholders may, at their discretion, sell all, none, or a portion of the common shares or the ADSs beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more broker-dealers or agents. If the common shares or the ADSs are sold through broker-dealers or agents, the broker-dealers or their agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Shareholders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale and the Selling Shareholders will be responsible for broker-dealers or agents’ commissions, discounts or concessions. The Selling Shareholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the common shares or the ADSs against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

To the extent that any of the Selling Shareholders are brokers or dealers, they may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of the common shares or the ADSs represented by the registered common shares may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. As of the date of this prospectus, based on the representations received by LATAM from the Selling Shareholders, none of the Selling Shareholders are brokers or dealers or affiliated with brokers or dealers.

In offering the common shares or the ADSs covered by this prospectus, any broker-dealers or agents who execute sales for the Selling Shareholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. Any compensation of any broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

The Selling Shareholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Regulation M of the Exchange Act. This regulation may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the common shares or the common shares or the ADSs offered by this prospectus by the Selling Shareholders and any other participating person. The anti-manipulation rules under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of common shares or ADSs in the market and to the activities of the Selling Shareholders and their affiliates. Furthermore, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the common shares or the ADSs to engage in market-making activities with respect to the common shares or the ADSs for a period of up to five business days before the distribution. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the common shares or the ADSs and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the common shares or the ADSs.


EXHIBIT C

 

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the securities must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

SECTION 2.13.    Section 18 of the Deposit Agreement is amended to include the following paragraph immediately after the first paragraph thereof:

By holding or owning an ADR or ADS or an interest therein, Holders and beneficial owners of ADSs, and interests therein, each irrevocably agree that any legal suit, action or proceeding against or involving Holders or beneficial owners of ADSs, and/or interests therein, brought by the Company or the Depositary, arising out of or based upon this Deposit Agreement, the ADSs, the ADRs or the transactions contemplated herein, therein, hereby or thereby, may be instituted in a state or federal court in New York, New York, and by holding or owning an ADR or ADS or an interest therein each irrevocably waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such proceeding, and irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding.

SECTION 2.14.    The legend on the face of the form of ADR, and all outstanding ADRs, is amended to read as follows:

The Holder of this ADR is advised that the rights to convert into US dollars the Chilean pesos received in connection with the Deposited Securities and remit abroad dividends and other payments is subject to reporting requirements to be submitted to the Central Bank of Chile (the “Central Bank”) pursuant to the provisions of Chapter XIV of the

LOGO

 

Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations of the Central Bank of Chile (Capítulo XIV del Compendio de Normas de Cambios Internacionales del Banco Central de Chile). Shares withdrawn from the facility may only be redeposited into the facility subject to the satisfaction of such reporting conditions.

As of the date of the most recent amendment to the Deposit Agreement there are no Chilean legal restrictions or requirements which limit the availability or transfer of foreign exchange for the purpose of remitting abroad dividends and other payments. Neither the Depositary nor the Company shall have any obligation to notify holders or to amend the Deposit Agreement should legal restrictions or requirements later exist.

Please note that according to the terms and provisions of Chapter XIV of the Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations of the Central Bank the purchase of Dollars in the Chilean formal foreign exchange market is governed by the rules in effect at the time of the purchase. “Formal foreign exchange market”, as used herein, is the foreign currency exchange market provided by the Central Bank of Chile where banks and other financial institutions authorized by the Central Bank of Chile must purchase and sell foreign currencies. There is no certainty, however, that the rules then in effect will be those on the date hereof or similar thereto.

Further, access to the formal currency market may not be automatic in the future and may require the approval of the Central Bank of Chile.

SECTION 2.15.     The second paragraph of Paragraph (2) of the form of ADR, and each outstanding ADR, is amended by deleting “, pursuant to the Foreign Investment Contract so long as the same is in effect,” therefrom.

SECTION 2.16.    The fourth sentence of Paragraph (3) of the form of ADR, and all outstanding ADRs, is replaced with the following:

Subject to paragraphs (4) and (5), this ADR is transferable on the ADR Register and may be split into other ADRs or combined with other ADRs into one ADR, evidencing the aggregate number of ADSs surrendered for split-up or combination, by the Holder hereof or by duly authorized attorney upon surrender of this ADR at the Transfer Office properly endorsed (in the case of ADRs in certificated form) or upon delivery to the Depositary of proper instruments of transfer and duly stamped as may be required by applicable law; provided that the Depositary may close the ADR Register (and any portion thereof) at any time or from time to time when deemed expedient by it. Additionally, at the reasonable request of the Company, the Depositary may close the issuance book portion of the ADR Register in order to enable the

Company to comply with applicable law or regulations binding upon the Company, provided further, that the Depositary shall have no liability and shall be indemnified by the Company in such event.

SECTION 2.17.    Paragraph 5(a) of the form of ADR, and all outstanding ADRs, is amended to read as follows:

(a) If any tax or other governmental charges (including any penalties and/or interest) shall become payable by or on behalf of the Custodian or the Depositary with respect to this ADR, any Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced hereby or any distribution thereon, such tax or other governmental charge shall be paid by the Holder hereof to the Depositary and by holding or having held this ADR or any ADSs evidenced hereby, the Holder and all beneficial owners hereof and thereof, and all prior Holders and beneficial owners hereof and thereof, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify, defend and save harmless each of the Depositary and its agents in respect of such tax or other governmental charge. Each Holder of this ADR and beneficial owner of the ADSs evidenced hereby, and each prior Holder and beneficial owner hereof and thereof (collectively, the “Tax Indemnitors”), by holding or having held an ADR or an interest in ADSs, acknowledges and agrees that the Depositary shall have the right to seek payment of amounts owing with respect to this ADR under this paragraph (5) from any one or more Tax Indemnitor(s) as determined by the Depositary in its sole discretion, without any obligation to seek payment from any other Tax Indemnitor(s). The Depositary may refuse to effect any registration, registration of transfer, split up or combination hereof or, subject to the last sentence of paragraph (2), any withdrawal of such Deposited Securities until such payment is made. The Depositary may also deduct from any distributions on or in respect of Deposited Securities, or may sell by public or private sale for the account of the Holder hereof any part or all of such Deposited Securities (after attempting by reasonable means to notify the Holder hereof prior to such sale), and may apply such deduction or the proceeds of any such sale in payment of such tax or other governmental charge, the Holder hereof remaining liable for any deficiency, and shall reduce the number of ADSs evidenced hereby to reflect any such sales of Shares. In connection with any distribution to Holders, the Company will remit to the appropriate governmental authority or agency all amounts (if any) required to be withheld and owing to such authority or agency by the Company; and the Depositary and the Custodian will remit to the appropriate governmental authority or agency all amounts (if any) required to be withheld and owing to such authority or agency by the Depositary or the Custodian. The Depositary will forward to the Company such information from the ADR Register maintained by it in its capacity as depositary hereunder as the Company

may reasonably request to enable the Company to file any necessary reports with governmental authorities or agencies that are required in order to enable Holders to benefit from any applicable tax withholding treaties. If the Depositary determines that any distribution in property other than cash (including Shares or rights) on Deposited Securities is subject to any tax that the Depositary or the Custodian is obligated to withhold, the Depositary may dispose of all or a portion of such property in such amounts and in such manner as the Depositary deems necessary and practicable to pay such taxes, by public or private sale, and the Depositary shall distribute the net proceeds of any such sale or the balance of any such property after deduction of such taxes to the Holders entitled thereto. Each Tax Indemnitor agrees to indemnify the Depositary, the Company, the Custodian and any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates against, and hold each of them harmless from, any claims by any governmental authority with respect to taxes, additions to tax, penalties or interest arising out of any refund of taxes, reduced rate of withholding at source or other tax benefit obtained, which obligations shall survive any transfer or surrender of ADSs or the termination of the Deposit Agreement. In all instances where the Deposit Agreement or an ADR refers to a “public sale” or “private sale” (or words of similar import), (i) the Depositary shall not endeavor to effect any such public or private sale unless the securities to be sold are listed and publicly traded on a stock exchange and (ii) to the extent not so listed and publicly traded, the Depositary shall not conduct any auction, bidding or other sales process with respect thereto and, in lieu thereof, shall act in accordance with the termination provisions hereof. Furthermore, in the event the Depositary endeavors to make a public sale of Shares or other securities, such securities may be sold in a block sale/single lot transaction.

SECTION 2.18.    Subsection (v) of the third sentence of Paragraph (7) of the form of ADR, and each outstanding ADR, is amended to read as follows:

 

  (v)

an amount for the reimbursement of such charges and expenses as are incurred by the Depositary and/or any of its agents (including, without limitation, the Custodian and charges and expenses incurred on behalf of Holders in connection with compliance with foreign exchange control regulations or any law or regulation relating to foreign investment) in connection with the servicing of the Shares or other Deposited Securities, the sale of securities (including, without limitation, Deposited Securities), the delivery of Deposited Securities or otherwise in connection with the Depositary’s or its Custodian’s compliance with applicable law, rule or regulation (which charges and expenses may be assessed on a proportionate basis against Holders as of the record date or

  dates set by the Depositary and shall be payable at the sole discretion of the Depositary by billing such Holders or by deducting such charge or expense from one or more cash dividends or other cash distributions).

SECTION 2.19.    The fourth sentence of Paragraph (7) of the form of ADR, and each outstanding ADR, is amended to read as follows:

The Company will pay all other fees, charges and expenses of the Depositary and any agent of the Depositary (except the Custodian) pursuant to agreements from time to time between the Company and the Depositary, except: (i) stock transfer or other taxes and other governmental charges (which are payable by Holders or persons depositing Shares); (ii) a transaction fee per cancellation request (including through SWIFT, telex and facsimile transmission) as disclosed on the “Disclosures” page (or successor page) of www.adr.com (as updated by the Depositary from time to time, “ADR.com”) and any applicable delivery expenses (which are payable by such persons or Holders); and (iii) transfer or registration expenses for the registration or transfer of Deposited Securities on any applicable register in connection with the deposit or withdrawal of Deposited Securities (which are payable by persons depositing Shares or Holders withdrawing Deposited Securities).

SECTION 2.20.    Paragraph 10(a) of the form of ADR, and each outstanding ADR, is amended to include the following at the conclusion thereof:

To the extent any of the deposited Shares is not or shall not be entitled, by reason of its date of issuance, or otherwise, to receive the full amount of such cash dividend or distribution, the Depositary shall make appropriate adjustments in the amounts distributed to the Holders issued in respect of such Shares. To the extent the Depositary shall be required to withhold and does withhold from any cash dividend or other cash distribution in respect of any Deposited Securities an amount on account of taxes, the amount distributed on the ADSs issued in respect of such Deposited Securities shall be reduced accordingly. To the extent the Depositary does not reasonably believe it will be permitted by applicable law, rule or regulation to convert foreign currency into U.S. Dollars and distribute such U.S. Dollars to some or all Holders, the Depositary may in its discretion distribute the foreign currency received by the Depositary to, or hold such foreign currency uninvested and without liability for interest thereon for the respective accounts of, the Holders entitled to receive the same. To the extent the Depositary holds such foreign currency, any and all costs and expenses related to, or arising from, the holding of such foreign currency shall be paid from such foreign currency thereby reducing the amount so held hereunder.

   CUSIP:

The Holder of this ADR is advised that the rights to convert into US dollars the Chilean pesos received in connection with the Deposited Securities and remit abroad dividends and other payments is subject to reporting requirements to be submitted to the Central Bank of Chile (the “Central Bank”) pursuant to the provisions of Chapter XIV of the Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations of the Central Bank of Chile (Capítulo XIV del Compendio de Normas de Cambios Internacionales del Banco Central de Chile). Shares withdrawn from the facility may only be redeposited into the facility subject to the satisfaction of such reporting conditions.

As of the date of the most recent amendment to the Deposit Agreement there are no Chilean legal restrictions or requirements which limit the availability or transfer of foreign exchange for the purpose of remitting abroad dividends and other payments. Neither the Depositary nor the Company shall have any obligation to notify holders or to amend the Deposit Agreement should legal restrictions or requirements later exist.

Please note that according to the terms and provisions of Chapter XIV of the Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations of the Central Bank the purchase of Dollars in the Chilean formal foreign exchange market is governed by the rules in effect at the time of the purchase. “Formal foreign exchange market”, as used herein, is the foreign currency exchange market provided by the Central Bank of Chile where banks and other financial institutions authorized by the Central Bank of Chile must purchase and sell foreign currencies. There is no certainty, however, that the rules then in effect will be those on the date hereof or similar thereto.

Further, access to the formal currency market may not be automatic in the future and may require the approval of the Central Bank of Chile.

LATAM AIRLINES GROUP S.A.

(Incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Chile)

JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., a national banking association organized under the laws of the United States of America, as depositary hereunder (the “Depositary”), hereby certifies that                  is the registered owner (a “Holder”) of                  American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each (subject to paragraph (13)) representing          ordinary shares (including the rights to receive Shares described in paragraph (1), “Shares” and, together with any other securities, cash or property from time to time held by the Depositary in respect or in lieu of deposited Shares, the “Deposited Securities”), of LATAM Airlines Group S.A., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Chile (the “Company”), deposited under the Third Amended and Restated Deposit Agreement dated as of September 21, 2017 (as amended from time to time, the “Deposit Agreement”) among the Company, the Depositary and all Holders from time to time of American Depositary Receipts issued thereunder (“ADRs”), each of whom by accepting an ADR becomes a party thereto. The Deposit Agreement and this ADR (which includes the provisions set forth on the reverse hereof) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

(1) Issuance of ADSs. This ADR is one of the ADRs issued under the Deposit Agreement. Subject to the other provisions hereof, the Depositary may so issue ADRs for delivery at the Transfer Office (as hereinafter defined) only against deposit of: (a) Shares in a form satisfactory to the Custodian; or (b) rights to receive Shares from the Company or any registrar, transfer agent, clearing agent or other entity recording Share ownership or transactions.

Every person depositing Shares under the Deposit Agreement represents and warrants that (a) each of such Shares and the certificates therefor are duly authorized, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid, nonassessable and legally obtained by such person (b) all pre-emptive and comparable rights, if any, with respect to such Shares have been validly waived or exercised, (c) the person making such deposit is duly authorized so to do, (d) the Shares presented for deposit are free and clear of any lien, encumbrance, security interest, charge, mortgage or adverse claim and (e) such Shares (A) are not “restricted securities” as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Restricted Securities”) unless at the time of deposit the requirements of paragraphs (c), (e), (f) and (h) of Rule 144 shall not apply and such Shares may be freely transferred and may otherwise be offered and

sold freely in the United States or (B) have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933. To the extent the person depositing Shares is an “affiliate” of the Company as such term is defined in Rule 144, the person also represents and warrants that upon the sale of the ADSs, all of the provisions of Rule 144 which enable the Shares to be freely sold (in the form of ADSs) will be fully complied with and, as a result thereof, all of the ADSs issued in respect of such Shares will not be on the sale thereof, Restricted Securities. Such representations and warranties shall survive the deposit and withdrawal of Shares and the issuance and cancellation of ADSs in respect thereof and the transfer of such ADSs. The Depositary will not knowingly accept for deposit under the Deposit Agreement any Shares required to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and not so registered; the Depositary may refuse to accept for such deposit any Shares identified by the Company in order to facilitate the Company’s compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 or the Rules made thereunder.

(2) Withdrawal of Deposited Securities. Subject to paragraphs (4) and (5), upon surrender of (i) a certificated ADR in a form satisfactory to the Depositary at the Transfer Office or (ii) proper instructions and documentation in the case of a Direct Registration ADR, the Holder hereof is entitled to delivery at, or to the extent in dematerialized form from, the Custodian’s office of the Deposited Securities at the time represented by the ADSs evidenced by this ADR. At the request, risk and expense of the Holder hereof, the Depositary may deliver such Deposited Securities at such other place as may have been requested by the Holder. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Deposit Agreement or this ADR, the withdrawal of Deposited Securities may be restricted only for the reasons set forth in General Instruction I.A.(1) of Form F-6 (as such instructions may be amended from time to time) under the Securities Act of 1933.

Simultaneously with the delivery of Deposited Securities to the Holder or its designee, to the extent applicable, the Custodian will issue or cause to be issued to the Holder or such designee a certificate which states that the Deposited Securities have been transferred to the Holder or its designee by the Depositary and that the Depositary waives in favor of the Holder or its designee the right of access to the formal foreign exchange market relating to such withdrawn Deposited Securities.

For purposes of tax rulings dated January 29, 1990 and October 1, 1999 issued by the Chilean Servicio de Impuestos Internos regarding certain tax matters relating to American depositary shares and American depositary receipts, the acquisition value of any Share or other Deposited Security upon its withdrawal by a Holder upon surrender of the corresponding ADSs shall be the highest reported sales price of such Share or other Deposited Security on the Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago, Bolsa de Valores (the “Santiago Stock Exchange”) on the day on which the transfer of such Share or other Deposited Security from the Depositary to such Holder is recorded on the books of the Company’s share registrar. In the event that the Shares or other

 

A-3


LOGO

 

Deposited Securities are not then traded on the Santiago Stock Exchange, such value shall be the highest reported sales price on the principal stock exchange or other organized securities market in Chile on which such Shares or other Deposited Securities are then traded. In the event that no such sales price is reported on the day on which such transfer is recorded on the books of the Company’s share registrar, such value shall be deemed to be the highest sales price reported on the last day on which such sales price was reported; provided, however, that if such day is more than 30 days prior to the date of such transfer, such price shall be increased (or decreased) by the percentage increase (or decrease) over the corresponding period in the Chilean consumer price index as reported by the pertinent governmental authority of Chile. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the exchanged Shares are sold by the Holder on a Chilean stock exchange on the same day on which the transfer is recorded on the books of the Company’s share registrar or within two Chilean business days prior to the date on which the sale is recorded on those books, the acquisition price of such exchanged Shares shall be the price registered in the invoice issued by the stockbroker that participated in the sale transaction.

(3) Transfers of ADRs. The Depositary or its agent will keep, at a designated transfer office (the “Transfer Office”), (a) a register (the “ADR Register”) for the registration, registration of transfer, combination and split-up of ADRs, and, in the case of Direct Registration ADRs, shall include the Direct Registration System, which at all reasonable times will be open for inspection by Holders and the Company for the purpose of communicating with Holders in the interest of the business of the Company or a matter relating to the Deposit Agreement and (b) facilities for the delivery and receipt of ADRs. The term ADR Register includes the Direct Registration System. Title to this ADR (and to the Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced hereby), when properly endorsed (in the case of ADRs in certificated form) or upon delivery to the Depositary of proper instruments of transfer, is transferable by delivery with the same effect as in the case of negotiable instruments under the laws of the State of New York; provided that the Depositary, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, may treat the person in whose name this ADR is registered on the ADR Register as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes and neither the Depositary nor the Company will have any obligation or be subject to any liability under the Deposit Agreement to any holder of an ADR, unless such holder is the Holder thereof. Subject to paragraphs (4) and (5), this ADR is transferable on the ADR Register and may be split into other ADRs or combined with other ADRs into one ADR, evidencing the aggregate number of ADSs surrendered for split-up or combination, by the Holder hereof or by duly authorized attorney upon surrender of this ADR at the Transfer Office properly endorsed (in the case of ADRs in certificated form) or upon delivery to the Depositary of proper instruments of transfer and duly stamped as may be required by applicable law; provided that the Depositary may close the ADR Register (and any portion thereof) at any time or from time to time when deemed expedient by it. Additionally, at the reasonable request of the Company, the Depositary may close the issuance book portion of the ADR Register in order to enable the Company to comply with applicable law or regulations binding upon the Company,

 

A-4


LOGO

 

provided further, that the Depositary shall have no liability and shall be indemnified by the Company in such event. At the request of a Holder, the Depositary shall, for the purpose of substituting a certificated ADR with a Direct Registration ADR, or vice versa, execute and deliver a certificated ADR or a Direct Registration ADR, as the case may be, for any authorized number of ADSs requested, evidencing the same aggregate number of ADSs as those evidenced by the certificated ADR or Direct Registration ADR, as the case may be, substituted.

(4) Certain Limitations. Prior to the issue, registration, registration of transfer, split-up or combination of any ADR, the delivery of any distribution in respect thereof, or, subject to the last sentence of paragraph (2), the withdrawal of any Deposited Securities, and from time to time in the case of clause (b)(ii) of this paragraph (4), the Company, the Depositary or the Custodian may require: (a) payment with respect thereto of (i) any stock transfer or other tax or other governmental charge, (ii) any stock transfer or registration fees in effect for the registration of transfers of Shares or other Deposited Securities upon any applicable register and (iii) any applicable charges as provided in paragraph (7) of this ADR; (b) the production of proof satisfactory to it of (i) the identity of any signatory and genuineness of any signature and (ii) such other information, including without limitation, information as to citizenship, residence, exchange control approval, beneficial ownership of any securities, compliance with applicable law, regulations, provisions of or governing Deposited Securities, or any applicable laws and the rules of the DCV and the terms of the Deposit Agreement and this ADR, as it may deem necessary or proper; and (c) compliance with such regulations as the Depositary may establish consistent with the Deposit Agreement. The issuance of ADRs, the acceptance of deposits of Shares, the registration, registration of transfer, split-up or combination of ADRs or, subject to the last sentence of paragraph (2), the withdrawal of Deposited Securities may be suspended, generally or in particular instances, when the ADR Register or any register for Deposited Securities is closed or when any such action is deemed advisable by the Depositary.

(5) Taxes. (a) If any tax or other governmental charges (including any penalties and/or interest) shall become payable by or on behalf of the Custodian or the Depositary with respect to this ADR, any Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced hereby or any distribution thereon, such tax or other governmental charge shall be paid by the Holder hereof to the Depositary and by holding or having held this ADR or any ADSs evidenced hereby, the Holder and all beneficial owners hereof and thereof, and all prior Holders and beneficial owners hereof and thereof, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify, defend and save harmless each of the Depositary and its agents in respect of such tax or other governmental charge. Each Holder of this ADR and beneficial owner of the ADSs evidenced hereby, and each prior Holder and beneficial owner hereof and thereof (collectively, the “Tax Indemnitors”), by holding or having held an ADR or an interest in ADSs, acknowledges and agrees that the Depositary shall have the right to seek payment of amounts owing with respect to this ADR under this paragraph (5) from any one or more Tax Indemnitor(s) as

 

A-5


LOGO

 

determined by the Depositary in its sole discretion, without any obligation to seek payment from any other Tax Indemnitor(s). The Depositary may refuse to effect any registration, registration of transfer, split up or combination hereof or, subject to the last sentence of paragraph (2), any withdrawal of such Deposited Securities until such payment is made. The Depositary may also deduct from any distributions on or in respect of Deposited Securities, or may sell by public or private sale for the account of the Holder hereof any part or all of such Deposited Securities (after attempting by reasonable means to notify the Holder hereof prior to such sale), and may apply such deduction or the proceeds of any such sale in payment of such tax or other governmental charge, the Holder hereof remaining liable for any deficiency, and shall reduce the number of ADSs evidenced hereby to reflect any such sales of Shares. In connection with any distribution to Holders, the Company will remit to the appropriate governmental authority or agency all amounts (if any) required to be withheld and owing to such authority or agency by the Company; and the Depositary and the Custodian will remit to the appropriate governmental authority or agency all amounts (if any) required to be withheld and owing to such authority or agency by the Depositary or the Custodian. The Depositary will forward to the Company such information from the ADR Register maintained by it in its capacity as depositary hereunder as the Company may reasonably request to enable the Company to file any necessary reports with governmental authorities or agencies that are required in order to enable Holders to benefit from any applicable tax withholding treaties. If the Depositary determines that any distribution in property other than cash (including Shares or rights) on Deposited Securities is subject to any tax that the Depositary or the Custodian is obligated to withhold, the Depositary may dispose of all or a portion of such property in such amounts and in such manner as the Depositary deems necessary and practicable to pay such taxes, by public or private sale, and the Depositary shall distribute the net proceeds of any such sale or the balance of any such property after deduction of such taxes to the Holders entitled thereto. Each Tax Indemnitor agrees to indemnify the Depositary, the Company, the Custodian and any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates against, and hold each of them harmless from, any claims by any governmental authority with respect to taxes, additions to tax, penalties or interest arising out of any refund of taxes, reduced rate of withholding at source or other tax benefit obtained, which obligations shall survive any transfer or surrender of ADSs or the termination of the Deposit Agreement. In all instances where the Deposit Agreement or an ADR refers to a “public sale” or “private sale” (or words of similar import), (i) the Depositary shall not endeavor to effect any such public or private sale unless the securities to be sold are listed and publicly traded on a stock exchange and (ii) to the extent not so listed and publicly traded, the Depositary shall not conduct any auction, bidding or other sales process with respect thereto and, in lieu thereof, shall act in accordance with the termination provisions hereof. Furthermore, in the event the Depositary endeavors to make a public sale of Shares or other securities, such securities may be sold in a block sale/single lot transaction.

(b)    In the event the definitive amount of any taxes or other governmental charges that may be payable in respect of the Deposited Securities is known by the Company at the time any distribution is made in respect of such Deposited Securities, the Company shall (i) withhold, and pay over to the appropriate governmental authority, such definitive amount, or (ii) instruct the Depositary (with a copy to the Custodian) as to such withholding, including such known definitive amount, and the Depositary shall cause the Custodian to withhold, and pay over to such governmental authority, such definitive amount.

(c)    In the event the definitive amount of any taxes or other governmental charges that may be payable in respect of the Deposited Securities is not known by the Company at the time any distribution is made in respect of such Deposited Securities (e.g., in the event of a provisional withholding tax), the Company shall (i) calculate (A) the maximum amount of taxes or other governmental charges that may be payable in respect of such distribution (the “Maximum Tax Amount”), and (B) the amount of the tax or other governmental charge that is then known and required to be paid in respect of such distribution (the “Provisional Tax Amount”), and (ii) either (A) withhold from such distribution the Maximum Tax Amount, or (ii) instruct the Depositary (with a copy to the Custodian) as to such withholding, including the calculated Maximum Tax Amount and Provisional Tax Amount, and the Depositary shall cause the Custodian to withhold from such distribution the Maximum Tax Amount. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Company fails to specify the Maximum Tax Amount in its instruction to the Depositary pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Depositary may calculate the Maximum Tax Amount in consultation with Chilean counsel and cause the Custodian to withhold the Maximum Tax Amount so calculated. After withholding the Maximum Tax Amount, the Company or the Custodian (at the instruction of the Depositary), as applicable, shall (x) pay over to the appropriate governmental authority the Provisional Tax Amount and (y) hold in escrow in a non-interest bearing account the remaining portion of the Maximum Tax Amount not paid over to the governmental authorities (the “Escrow Amount”) pending final determination by the Company of the definitive amount of the taxes or other governmental charges that are payable in respect of that distribution (the “Final Tax Amount”).

(d)    If, upon the final determination by the Company of the Final Tax Amount in respect of a distribution, additional taxes or governmental charges are payable (including, without limitation, any interest and penalties that may be levied) in respect of such distribution in excess of the Provisional Tax Payment (such excess, the “Additional Tax Amount”), the Company shall, as applicable, (i) remit from the Escrow Amount (A) to the applicable tax authorities the Additional Tax Amount, and (B) to the Custodian, for distribution to the Holders as of the applicable ADS record date for that distribution, the balance of the Escrow Amount, if any, or (ii) inform the Depositary (with a copy to the Custodian) of the Additional Tax Amount and the Depositary shall cause the Custodian to remit from the Escrow Amount (A) to the applicable tax authorities, the Additional Tax Amount, and (B) to the Holders as of

the applicable ADS record date for that distribution, the balance of the Escrow Amount, if any. Any distribution of the Escrow Amount to Holders pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made in accordance with the terms, and subject to the conditions, of the Deposit Agreement.

(e)    If, upon the final determination by the Company of the Final Tax Amount in respect of a distribution, the Provisional Tax Amount exceeds the Final Tax Amount, the Company or the Custodian (at the instruction of the Depositary), as applicable, shall (i) use reasonable efforts to reclaim from the applicable tax authorities the excess of the Provisional Tax Payment over the Final Tax Amount, and (ii) remit the amount of such excess and the balance of the Escrow Amount (if any) to (A) the Depositary for distribution the Holders as of the applicable ADS record date for that distribution (if the Escrow Amount is being held by the Custodian), or (B) the Custodian for remittance to the Depositary for distribution to such ADS Holders as of the applicable ADS record date (if the Escrow Amount is being held by the Company), in each case, in accordance with the terms, and subject to the conditions, of the Deposit Agreement.

(f)    If, upon the final determination of the Final Tax Amount in respect of a distribution, the Final Tax Amount exceeds the Maximum Tax Amount, the amount of such tax deficiency shall be payable by the Holders and beneficial owners of ADSs (as of the applicable ADS record date for that distribution) to the Depositary for payment of the applicable tax deficiency. The Depositary may refuse to effect any transfer of ADSs, or split-up or combination of any ADR(s) or any withdrawal of Deposited Securities represented by ADSs until such payment is made, and may withhold any dividends or other distributions, and may sell for the account of the Holders and beneficial owners of ADSs any part or all of the Deposited Securities represented by ADSs, and may apply such dividends or other distributions and the proceeds of any such sale in payment of the balance of such tax or other governmental charge that is due, the Holders and beneficial owners of ADSs remaining liable for any deficiency.

(g)    The Depositary shall cause the Custodian to take all actions required or necessary in order for the Depositary to fulfill its obligations under this paragraph (5). No interest shall be payable in respect of any amounts held by the Company, the Depositary or the Custodian under the terms of this paragraph (5). None of the Company, the Depositary or the Custodian shall incur any liability in respect of any funds payable, held or remitted pursuant to this paragraph (5) for losses that may be incurred as a result of currency fluctuations.

(h)    The Company will notify the Depositary as soon as a change in any applicable tax law or regulation applicable to Shares, Share ownership, or Deposited Securities is in place in the Republic of Chile.

(6) Disclosure of Interests; Compliance with Provisions of Chilean Law. To the extent that the provisions of or governing any Deposited Securities may require disclosure of or impose limits on beneficial or other ownership of Deposited Securities, other Shares and other securities and may provide for blocking transfer, voting or other rights to enforce such disclosure or limits, Holders and all persons holding ADRs agree to comply with all such disclosure requirements and ownership limitations and to comply with any reasonable Company instructions in respect thereof. The Depositary agrees to forward, upon the request and at the expenses of the Company, such reasonable Company instructions to the Holders, and at the Company’s expense, to promptly forward to the Company any responses thereto received by the Depositary. The Company reserves the right to instruct Holders to deliver their ADSs for cancellation and withdrawal of the Deposited Securities so as to permit the Company to deal directly with the Holder thereof as a holder of Shares and Holders agree to comply with such instructions. The Depositary agrees to cooperate with the Company in its efforts to inform Holders of the Company’s exercise of its rights under this paragraph and agrees to consult with, and provide reasonable assistance without risk, liability or expense on the part of the Depositary, to the Company on the manner or manners in which it may enforce such rights with respect to any Holder.

Pursuant to Circular Letter N° 1.375 of the CMF dated February 12, 1998, as amended, Holders are deemed, for certain purposes of Chilean law, to be treated as holders of Deposited Securities. Accordingly, Holders shall, as a matter of Chilean law, be obligated to comply with the requirements of Articles 12 and 54 and Title XV of Law 18,045 of Chile and applicable CMF regulations. Article 12 requires, among other things, that Holders and beneficial owners of ADSs who directly or indirectly own 10% or more of the total share capital of the Company (or who may attain such percentage ownership through an acquisition of shares), or the directors, liquidators, principal executives or managers of such Holders or beneficial owners of ADSs, must report to the CMF and the stock exchanges in Chile on which the Shares are listed:

(a)    any direct or indirect acquisition or sale of ADRs; and

(b)    any direct or indirect acquisition or sale of any contract or security whose price or results depend on or are conditioned in whole or in part on the price of the Company’s shares.

The information must be provided not later than the day following the effectiveness of the acquisition or sale.

Article 54 requires, among other things, that any Holder or beneficial owner of ADSs intending to acquire control, directly or indirectly (as defined in Title XV of Law 18,045) of the Company (a) send a written notice of such intention to the Company, to the Company’s controllers, to companies controlled by the Company, to the CMF and to the stock exchanges in Chile on which the Shares are listed, and, (b) publish a notice of such intention in two newspapers in Chile and on the Company’s website. Such written communications and publications must be made at least ten business

 

A-9


LOGO

 

days prior to the date of intended acquisition of control or as soon as negotiations pursuing control have been formalized or confidential documentation of the Company has been provided. Within two business days following the acquisition of control, the Holder must publish a notice in the same newspapers in which the intention of control was published and send written communications to the same entities listed in clause (a) above.

(7) Charges of Depositary.2 The Depositary may charge, and collect from, (i) each person to whom ADSs are issued, including, without limitation, issuances against deposits of Shares, issuances in respect of Share Distributions, Rights and Other Distributions (as such terms are defined in paragraph (10)), issuances pursuant to a stock dividend or stock split declared by the Company, or issuances pursuant to a merger, exchange of securities or any other transaction or event affecting the ADSs or the Deposited Securities, and (ii) each person surrendering ADSs for withdrawal of Deposited Securities or whose ADSs are cancelled or reduced for any other reason, U.S.$5.00 for each 100 ADSs (or portion thereof) issued, delivered, reduced, cancelled or surrendered (as the case may be). The Depositary may sell (by public or private sale) sufficient securities and property received in respect of Share Distributions, Rights and Other Distributions prior to such deposit to pay such charge. The following additional charges shall be incurred by the Holders, by any party depositing or withdrawing Shares or by any party surrendering ADSs and/or to whom ADSs are issued (including, without limitation, issuances pursuant to a stock dividend or stock split declared by the Company or an exchange of stock regarding the ADSs or the Deposited Securities or a distribution of ADSs pursuant to paragraph (10)), whichever is applicable (i) a fee of U.S.$0.05 or less per ADS for any Cash distribution made pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, (ii) a fee of U.S.$1.50 per ADR or ADRs for transfers made pursuant to paragraph (3) hereof, (iii) a fee for the distribution or sale of securities pursuant to paragraph (10) hereof, such fee being in an amount equal to the fee for the execution and delivery of ADSs referred to above which would have been charged as a result of the deposit of such securities (for purposes of this paragraph (7) treating all such securities as if they were Shares) but which securities or the net cash proceeds from the sale thereof are instead distributed by the Depositary to Holders entitled thereto, (iv) an aggregate fee of U.S.$0.05 or less per ADS per calendar year (or portion thereof) for services performed by the Depositary in administering the ADRs (which fee may be charged on a periodic basis during each calendar year and shall be assessed against Holders as of the record date or record dates set by the Depositary during each calendar year and shall be payable at the sole discretion of the Depositary by billing such Holders or by deducting such charge from one or more cash dividends or other cash distributions), and (v) an amount for the reimbursement of such charges and expenses as are incurred by the Depositary and/or any of its agents (including, without limitation, the Custodian and charges and expenses incurred on behalf of Holders in connection with compliance with foreign

exchange control regulations or any law or regulation relating to foreign investment) in connection with the servicing of the Shares or other Deposited Securities, the sale of securities (including, without limitation, Deposited Securities), the delivery of Deposited Securities or otherwise in connection with the Depositary’s or its Custodian’s compliance with applicable law, rule or regulation (which charges and expenses may be assessed on a proportionate basis against Holders as of the record date or dates set by the Depositary and shall be payable at the sole discretion of the Depositary by billing such Holders or by deducting such charge or expense from one or more cash dividends or other cash distributions). The Company will pay all other fees, charges and expenses of the Depositary and any agent of the Depositary (except the Custodian) pursuant to agreements from time to time between the Company and the Depositary, except: (i) stock transfer or other taxes and other governmental charges (which are payable by Holders or persons depositing Shares); (ii) a transaction fee per cancellation request (including through SWIFT, telex and facsimile transmission) as disclosed on the “Disclosures” page (or successor page) of www.adr.com (as updated by the Depositary from time to time, “ADR.com”) and any applicable delivery expenses (which are payable by such persons or Holders); and (iii) transfer or registration expenses for the registration or transfer of Deposited Securities on any applicable register in connection with the deposit or withdrawal of Deposited Securities (which are payable by persons depositing Shares or Holders withdrawing Deposited Securities). The above-referenced charges may at any time and from time to time be changed by agreement between the Company and the Depositary.

To facilitate the administration of various depositary receipt transactions, including disbursement of dividends or other cash distributions and other corporate actions, the Depositary may engage the foreign exchange desk within JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”) and/or its affiliates in order to enter into spot foreign exchange transactions to convert foreign currency into U.S. dollars (“FX Transactions”). For certain currencies, FX Transactions are entered into with the Bank or an affiliate, as the case may be, acting in a principal capacity. For other currencies, FX Transactions are routed directly to and managed by an unaffiliated local custodian (or other third party local liquidity provider), and neither the Bank nor any of its affiliates is a party to such FX Transactions.

The foreign exchange rate applied to an FX Transaction will be either (a) a published benchmark rate, or (b) a rate determined by a third party local liquidity provider, in each case plus or minus a spread, as applicable. The Depositary will disclose which foreign exchange rate and spread, if any, apply to such currency on the “Disclosure” page (or successor page) of www.adr.com (as updated by the Depositary from time to time, “ADR.com”). Such applicable foreign exchange rate and spread may (and neither the Depositary, the Bank nor any of their affiliates is under any obligation to ensure that such rate does not) differ from rates and spreads at which comparable transactions are entered into with other customers or the range of foreign exchange rates and spreads at which the Bank or any of its affiliates enters into foreign exchange transactions in the relevant currency pair on the date of the FX

Transaction. Additionally, the timing of execution of an FX Transaction varies according to local market dynamics, which may include regulatory requirements, market hours and liquidity in the foreign exchange market or other factors. Furthermore, the Bank and its affiliates may manage the associated risks of their position in the market in a manner they deem appropriate without regard to the impact of such activities on the Company, the Depositary, Holders or beneficial owners of ADSs. The spread applied does not reflect any gains or losses that may be earned or incurred by the Bank and its affiliates as a result of risk management or other hedging related activity.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Company provides U.S. dollars to the Depositary, neither the Bank nor any of its affiliates will execute an FX Transaction as set forth herein. In such case, the Depositary will distribute the U.S. dollars received from the Company.

Further details relating to the applicable foreign exchange rate, the applicable spread and the execution of FX Transactions will be provided by the Depositary on ADR.com. The Company, Holders and beneficial owners of ADSs each acknowledge and agree that the terms applicable to FX Transactions disclosed from time to time on ADR.com will apply to any FX Transaction executed pursuant to the Deposit Agreement.

The Depositary anticipates reimbursing the Company for certain expenses incurred by the Company that are related to the establishment and maintenance of the ADR program upon such terms and conditions as the Company and the Depositary may agree from time to time. The Depositary may make available to the Company a set amount or a portion of the Depositary fees charged in respect of the ADR program or otherwise upon such terms and conditions as the Company and the Depositary may agree from time to time.

The right of the Depositary to receive payment of fees, charges and expenses as provided above shall survive the termination of the Deposit Agreement. As to any Depositary, upon the resignation or removal of such Depositary, such right shall extend for those fees, charges and expenses incurred prior to the effectiveness of such resignation or removal.

(8) Available Information. The Deposit Agreement, the provisions of or governing Deposited Securities and any written communications from the Company, which are both received by the Custodian or its nominee as a holder of Deposited Securities and made generally available to the holders of Deposited Securities, are available for inspection by Holders at the offices of the Depositary and the Custodian and at the Transfer Office. The Depositary will distribute copies of such communications (or English translations or summaries thereof) to Holders when furnished by the Company. The Company is subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and accordingly files certain

reports with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Such reports and other information may be inspected and copied through the Commission’s EDGAR system or at public reference facilities maintained by the Commission located at the date hereof at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549.

(9) Execution. This ADR shall not be valid for any purpose unless executed by the Depositary by the manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized officer of the Depositary.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF ADR]

(10) Distributions on Deposited Securities. Subject to paragraphs (4) and (5), to the extent practicable, the Depositary will distribute to each Holder entitled thereto on the record date set by the Depositary therefor at such Holder’s address shown on the ADR Register, in proportion to the number of Deposited Securities (on which the following distributions on Deposited Securities are received by the Custodian) represented by ADSs evidenced by such Holder’s ADRs: (a) Cash. Any U.S. dollars available to the Depositary resulting from a cash dividend or other cash distribution or the net proceeds of sales of any other distribution or portion thereof authorized in this paragraph (10) (“Cash”), on an averaged or other practicable basis, subject to (i) appropriate adjustments for taxes withheld, (ii) such distribution being impermissible or impracticable with respect to certain Holders, and (iii) deduction of the Depositary’s and/or its agents’ fees and expenses in (1) converting any foreign currency to U.S. dollars by sale or in such other manner as the Depositary may determine to the extent that it determines that such conversion may be made on a reasonable basis, (2) transferring foreign currency or U.S. dollars to the United States by such means as the Depositary may determine to the extent that it determines that such transfer may be made on a reasonable basis, (3) obtaining any approval or license of any governmental authority required for such conversion or transfer, which is obtainable at a reasonable cost and within a reasonable time and (4) making any sale by public or private means in any commercially reasonable manner. To the extent any of the deposited Shares is not or shall not be entitled, by reason of its date of issuance, or otherwise, to receive the full amount of such cash dividend or distribution, the Depositary shall make appropriate adjustments in the amounts distributed to the Holders issued in respect of such Shares. To the extent the Depositary shall be required to withhold and does withhold from any cash dividend or other cash distribution in respect of any Deposited Securities an amount on account of taxes, the amount distributed on the ADSs issued in respect of such Deposited Securities shall be reduced accordingly. To the extent the Depositary does not reasonably believe it will be permitted by applicable law, rule or regulation to convert foreign currency into U.S. Dollars and distribute such U.S. Dollars to some or all Holders, the Depositary may in its discretion distribute the foreign currency received by the Depositary to, or hold such foreign currency uninvested and without liability for interest thereon for the respective accounts of, the Holders entitled to receive the same. To the extent the Depositary holds such foreign currency, any and all costs and expenses related to, or arising from, the holding of such foreign currency shall be paid from such foreign currency thereby reducing the amount so held hereunder. (b) Shares. (i) Additional ADRs evidencing whole ADSs representing any Shares available to the Depositary resulting from a dividend or free distribution on Deposited Securities consisting of Shares (a “Share Distribution”) and (ii) U.S. dollars available to it resulting from the net proceeds of sales of Shares received in a Share Distribution, which Shares would give rise to fractional ADSs if additional ADRs were issued therefor, as in the case of Cash. (c) Rights. (i) Warrants or other instruments in the discretion of the Depositary representing rights to acquire additional ADRs in

respect of any rights to subscribe for additional Shares or rights of any nature available to the Depositary as a result of a distribution on Deposited Securities (“Rights”), to the extent that the Company timely furnishes to the Depositary evidence satisfactory to the Depositary that the Depositary may lawfully distribute the same (the Company has no obligation to so furnish such evidence), or (ii) to the extent the Company does not so furnish such evidence and sales of Rights are practicable, any U.S. dollars available to the Depositary from the net proceeds of sales of Rights as in the case of Cash, or (iii) to the extent the Company does not so furnish such evidence and such sales cannot practicably be accomplished by reason of the nontransferability of the Rights, limited markets therefor, their short duration or otherwise, nothing (and any Rights may lapse). (d) Other Distributions. (i) Securities or property available to the Depositary resulting from any distribution on Deposited Securities other than Cash, Share Distributions and Rights (“Other Distributions”), by any means that the Depositary may deem equitable and practicable, or (ii) to the extent the Depositary deems distribution of such securities or property not to be equitable and practicable, any U.S. dollars available to the Depositary from the net proceeds of sales of Other Distributions as in the case of Cash. The Depositary reserves the right to utilize a division, branch or affiliate of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. to direct, manage and/or execute any public and/or private sale of securities hereunder. Such division, branch and/or affiliate may charge the Depositary a fee in connection with such sales, which fee is considered an expense of the Depositary contemplated above and/or under paragraph (7) hereof. Any U.S. dollars available will be distributed by checks drawn on a bank in the United States for whole dollars and cents. Fractional cents will be withheld without liability and dealt with by the Depositary in accordance with its then current practices. All purchases and sales of securities will be handled by the Depositary in accordance with its then current policies, which are currently set forth on the “Disclosures” page (or successor page) of ADR.com, the location and contents of which the Depositary shall be solely responsible for.

(11) Record Dates. The Depositary may, after consultation with the Company if practicable, fix a record date (which, to the extent applicable, shall be as near as practicable to any corresponding record date set by the Company) for the determination of the Holders who shall be responsible for the fee assessed by the Depositary for administration of the ADR program and for any expenses provided for in paragraph (7) hereof as well as for the determination of the Holders who shall be entitled to receive any distribution on or in respect of Deposited Securities, to give instructions for the exercise of any voting rights, to receive any notice or to act in respect of other matters and only such Holders shall be so entitled or obligated.

(12) Voting of Deposited Securities. Subject to the next sentence, as soon as practicable after receipt from the Company of notice of any meeting at which the holders of Shares are entitled to vote, or of solicitation of consents or proxies from holders of Shares or other Deposited Securities, the Depositary shall fix the ADS record date in accordance with paragraph (11) above in respect of such meeting or solicitation of consent or proxy. The Depositary shall, if requested by the Company in

 

A-15


LOGO

 

writing in a timely manner (the Depositary having no obligation to take any further action if the request shall not have been received by the Depositary at least 30 days prior to the date of such vote or meeting) and at the Company’s expense and provided no legal prohibitions exist, distribute to Holders a notice stating (a) such information as is contained in such notice and any solicitation materials, (b) that each Holder on the record date set by the Depositary therefor will, subject to any applicable provisions of Chilean law or regulations, the Estatutos and the provisions of or governing Deposited Securities (which provisions, if any, shall have been summarized in pertinent part by the Company), be entitled to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights, if any, pertaining to the amount of Shares or other Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced by such Holder’s ADRs and (c) the manner in which such instructions may be given, including an express indication that, such instructions may be given or, if applicable, deemed given in accordance with the last sentence of this paragraph if no instruction is received, to the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Board of Directors of the Company. Upon actual receipt by the ADR department of the Depositary of instructions of a Holder on such record date in the manner and on or before the time established by the Depositary for such purpose, the Depositary shall endeavor insofar as practicable and permitted under the provisions of or governing Deposited Securities to vote or cause to be voted the Deposited Securities represented by the ADSs evidenced by such Holder’s ADRs in accordance with such instructions.

To the extent the Depositary has been provided with at least 45 days’ notice of the proposed meeting, if such instructions are not so timely received by the Depositary from any Holder, such Holder shall be deemed, and the Depositary is instructed to deem such Holder, to have instructed the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Company to vote the Deposited Securities represented by the American Depositary Shares evidenced by such Holder’s Receipts as to which such instructions are so given, provided that no such instruction shall be deemed given and no discretionary proxy shall be given (a) if the Company informs the Depositary in writing (and the Company agrees to provide the Depositary with such information promptly in writing) that (i) it does not wish such proxy to be given, (ii) substantial opposition exists with respect to any agenda item for which the proxy would be given or (iii) the agenda item in question, if approved, would materially or adversely affect the rights of holders of Shares and (b) unless, with respect to such meeting, the Depositary has been provided with an opinion of counsel to the Company, in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositary, to the effect that (a) the granting of such discretionary proxy does not subject the Depositary to any reporting obligations in the Republic of Chile, (b) the granting of such proxy will not result in a violation of Chilean law, rule, regulation or permit, (c) the voting arrangement and deemed instruction as contemplated herein will be given effect under Chilean law, rules and regulations, and (d) the granting of such discretionary proxy will not under any circumstances result in the Shares represented by the ADSs being treated as assets of the Depositary under Chilean law, rules or regulations. If

after the date such opinion is delivered to the Depositary and prior to the meeting date the Company is advised by counsel that there has occurred a change in Chilean law such that the foregoing opinion could no longer be rendered favorably in whole or in part, the Company shall promptly notify the Depositary of such change and the Holders shall thereafter not be deemed to have given any such instruction. The Company agrees to direct its counsel to inform it of any such changes in Chilean law. To the extent Holders are deemed to have instructed the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Board of Directors of the Company with respect to any Deposited Securities and such discretionary proxy has been provided to a person designated by the Board of Directors of the Company, the Company shall report the existence thereof at the relevant shareholder meeting.

The Depositary will not itself exercise any voting discretion in respect of any Deposited Securities. There is no guarantee that Holders generally or any Holder in particular will receive the notice described above with sufficient time to enable such Holder to return any voting instructions to the Depositary in a timely manner. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Deposit Agreement or any ADR, the Depositary may, to the extent not prohibited by law or regulations, or by the requirements of the stock exchange on which the ADSs are listed, in lieu of distribution of the materials provided to the Depositary in connection with any meeting of, or solicitation of consents or proxies from, holders of Deposited Securities, distribute to the Holders a notice that provides Holders with, or otherwise publicizes to Holders, instructions on how to retrieve such materials or receive such materials upon request (i.e., by reference to a website containing the materials for retrieval or a contact for requesting copies of the materials). Holders are strongly encouraged to forward their voting instructions as soon as possible. Voting instructions will not be deemed received until such time as the ADR department responsible for proxies and voting has received such instructions notwithstanding that such instructions may have been physically received by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Depositary, prior to such time.

(13) Changes Affecting Deposited Securities. Subject to paragraphs (4) and (5), the Depositary may, in its discretion, and shall if reasonably requested by the Company, amend this ADR or distribute additional or amended ADRs (with or without calling this ADR for exchange) or cash, securities or property on the record date set by the Depositary therefor to reflect any change in par value, split-up, consolidation, cancellation or other reclassification of Deposited Securities, any Share Distribution or Other Distribution not distributed to Holders or any cash, securities or property available to the Depositary in respect of Deposited Securities from (and the Depositary is hereby authorized to surrender any Deposited Securities to any person and, irrespective of whether such Deposited Securities are surrendered or otherwise cancelled by operation of law, rule, regulation or otherwise, to sell by public or private sale any property received in connection with) any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, liquidation, receivership, bankruptcy or sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company, and to the extent the Depositary

does not so amend this ADR or make a distribution to Holders to reflect any of the foregoing, or the net proceeds thereof, whatever cash, securities or property results from any of the foregoing shall constitute Deposited Securities and each ADS evidenced by this ADR shall automatically represent its pro rata interest in the Deposited Securities as then constituted. Promptly upon the occurrence of any of the aforementioned changes affecting Deposited Securities, the Company shall notify the Depositary in writing of such occurrence and as soon as practicable after receipt of such notice from the Company, may instruct the Depositary to give notice thereof, at the Company’s expense, to Holders in accordance with the provisions hereof. Upon receipt of such instruction, the Depositary shall give notice to the Holders in accordance with the terms thereof, as soon as reasonably practicable.

(14) Exoneration. The Depositary, the Company, their agents and each of them shall: (a) incur no liability to Holders or beneficial owners of ADSs (i) if any present or future law, rule, regulation, fiat, order or decree of the United States, the Republic of Chile or any other country or jurisdiction, or of any governmental or regulatory authority (including any action by the Central Bank under the Chapter XIV of the Compendium of Foreign Exchange Regulations of the Central Bank or otherwise) or any securities exchange or market or automated quotation system, the provisions of or governing any Deposited Securities, any present or future provision of the Company’s charter, any act of God, war, terrorism, nationalization, expropriation, currency restrictions, work stoppage, strike, civil unrest, revolutions, rebellions, explosions, computer failure or circumstance beyond its direct and immediate control shall prevent or delay, or shall cause any of them to be subject to any civil or criminal penalty in connection with, any act which the Deposit Agreement or this ADR provides shall be done or performed by it or them (including, without limitation, voting pursuant to paragraph (12) hereof), or (ii) in the case of the Depositary and its agents, by reason of any exercise or failure to exercise any discretion given it in the Deposit Agreement or this ADR (including, without limitation, any failure to determine that any distribution or action may be lawful or reasonably practicable); (b) in the case of the Depositary and its agents, assume no liability to Holders or beneficial owners of ADSs except to perform its obligations to the extent they are specifically set forth in this ADR and the Deposit Agreement without gross negligence or willful misconduct; (c) in the case of the Depositary and its agents, be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any Deposited Securities or this ADR; (d) in the case of the Company and its agents hereunder be under no obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of any Deposited Securities or this ADR, which in its opinion may involve it in expense or liability, unless indemnity satisfactory to it against all expense (including fees and disbursements of counsel) and liability be furnished as often as may be required; (e) not be liable to Holders or beneficial owners of ADSs for any action or inaction by it in reliance upon the advice of or information from legal counsel, accountants, any person presenting Shares for deposit, any Holder, or any other person believed by it to be competent to give such advice or information; and (f) in the case of the Depositary and its agents, assume no liability to Holders or

beneficial owners of ADS on account of any failure on the part of the Company to fulfill its obligations under the Deposit Agreement or this ADR.

Subject to the last sentence of paragraph (2), the ADRs and the Deposit Agreement may be amended by the Company and the Depositary, provided that any amendment that imposes or increases any fees, charges or expenses on a per ADS basis (other than stock transfer or other taxes and other governmental charges, transfer or registration fees, a transaction fee per cancellation request (including through SWIFT, telex or facsimile transmission), applicable delivery expenses or other such fees, charges or expenses), or that shall otherwise prejudice any substantial existing right of Holders, shall become effective 30 days after notice of such amendment shall have been given to the Holders. Every Holder of an ADR at the time any amendment to the Deposit Agreement so becomes effective shall be deemed, by continuing to hold such ADR, to consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by the Deposit Agreement as amended thereby. In no event shall any amendment impair the right of the Holder of any ADR to surrender such ADR and receive the Deposited Securities represented thereby, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law. Any amendments or supplements which (i) are reasonably necessary (as agreed by the Company and the Depositary) in order for (a) the ADSs to be registered on Form F-6 under the Securities Act of 1933 or (b) the ADSs or Shares to be traded solely in electronic book-entry form and (ii) do not in either such case impose or increase any fees or charges to be borne by Holders, shall be deemed not to prejudice any substantial rights of Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any governmental body or regulatory body should adopt new laws, rules or regulations which would require amendment or supplement of the Deposit Agreement or the form of ADR to ensure compliance therewith, the Company and the Depositary may amend or supplement the Deposit Agreement and the ADR at any time in accordance with such changed laws, rules or regulations. Such amendment or supplement to the Deposit Agreement in such circumstances may become effective

before a notice of such amendment or supplement is given to Holders or within any other period of time as required for compliance. Notice of any amendment to the Deposit Agreement or form of ADRs shall not need to describe in detail the specific amendments effectuated thereby, and failure to describe the specific amendments in any such notice shall not render such notice invalid, provided, however, that, in each such case, the notice given to the Holders identifies a means for Holders to retrieve or receive the text of such amendment (i.e., upon retrieval from the Commission’s, the Depositary’s or the Company’s website or upon request from the Depositary).

(17) Termination. The Depositary may, and shall at the written direction of the Company, terminate the Deposit Agreement and this ADR by mailing notice of such termination to the Holders at least 30 days prior to the date fixed in such notice for such termination, provided, however, if the Depositary shall have (i) resigned as Depositary hereunder, notice of such termination by the Depositary shall not be provided to Holders unless a successor depositary shall not be operating hereunder within 45 days of the date of such resignation, or (ii) been removed as Depositary hereunder, notice of such termination by the Depositary shall not be provided to Holders unless a successor depositary shall not be operating hereunder on the 60th day after the Company’s notice of removal was first provided to the Depositary.

After the Termination Date, the Depositary and its agents will perform no further acts under the Deposit Agreement and this ADR, except to receive and hold (or sell) distributions on Deposited Securities, deliver Deposited Securities being withdrawn and to take such actions as provided in the next two paragraphs, in each case subject to payment to the Depositary of the fees and expenses provided in paragraph (7) of this Form of ADR (Charges of Depositary).

After the Termination Date, the Depositary shall endeavor, for a period of thirty (30) days following the Termination Date, to publicly or privately sell (as long as it may lawfully do so) the Deposited Securities, which sale may be effected in a

block sale/single lot transaction and, after the settlement of such sale, to the extent legally permissible, distribute or hold in an account (which may be a segregated or unsegregated account) the net proceeds of such sale less any amounts owing to the Depositary (including cancellation fees), together with any other cash then held by it under the Deposit Agreement, without interest, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the Holders entitled thereto. If the Depositary sells the Deposited Securities, the Depositary shall (i) cancel all outstanding ADRs and (ii) be discharged from all obligations in respect of the Deposit Agreement and this ADR after making such sale, except to account for such net proceeds and other cash.

Alternatively, after the Termination Date, to the extent that the Deposited Securities are not listed and publicly traded on a stock exchange, or to the extent the Depositary is unable to effect such sale under the preceding paragraph, the Depositary shall (A) cancel this ADR and all other outstanding ADRs, (B) instruct its Custodian to deliver all Deposited Securities to the Company along with a general stock power and instruments of transfer covering such Deposited Securities, and (C) provide the Company with a copy of the ADR Register as revised to reflect those owners of ADRs then known to the Depositary (which copy may be sent by email or by any means permitted under the notice provisions of the Deposit Agreement). Upon receipt of such Deposited Securities and the revised ADR Register, the Company shall immediately deliver to each person reflected on such revised Register appropriate documentation evidencing the transfer to such person of the Shares previously represented by the ADRs. Upon the Depositary’s compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, the Depositary and its agents shall cease to have any obligations under the Deposit Agreement and/or the ADRs.

After the Termination Date, the Company shall be discharged from all obligations under the Deposit Agreement except for its obligations (a) to the Depositary and its agents and (b) under the preceding paragraph.

(18) Appointment. Each Holder and each person holding an interest in ADSs, upon acceptance of any ADSs (or any interest therein) issued in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement shall be deemed for all purposes to (a) be a party to and bound by the terms of the Deposit Agreement and the applicable ADR(s), and (b) appoint the Depositary its attorney-in-fact, with full power to delegate, to act on its behalf and to take any and all actions contemplated in the Deposit Agreement and the applicable ADR(s), to adopt any and all procedures necessary to comply with applicable law and to take such action as the Depositary in its sole discretion may deem necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of the Deposit Agreement and the applicable ADR(s), the taking of such actions to be the conclusive determinant of the necessity and appropriateness thereof.

(19) Waiver. EACH PARTY TO THE DEPOSIT AGREEMENT (INCLUDING, FOR AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, EACH HOLDER AND BENEFICIAL OWNER AND/OR HOLDER OF INTERESTS IN ADRS) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT

PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST THE DEPOSITARY AND/OR THE COMPANY DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SHARES OR OTHER DEPOSITED SECURITIES, THE ADSs OR THE ADRs, THE DEPOSIT AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREIN OR THEREIN, OR THE BREACH HEREOF OR THEREOF (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, COMMON LAW OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

(20) Elective Distributions in Cash or Shares. Whenever the Company intends to distribute a dividend payable at the election of the holders of Shares in cash or in additional Shares, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Depositary at least 30 days prior to the proposed distribution stating whether or not it wishes such elective distribution to be made available to Holders. Upon receipt of notice indicating that the Company wishes such elective distribution to be made available to Holders, the Depositary shall consult with the Company to determine, and the Company shall assist the Depositary in its determination, whether it is lawful and reasonably practicable to make such elective distribution available to the Holders. The Depositary shall make such elective distribution available to Holders only if (i) the Company shall have timely requested that the elective distribution is available to Holders, (ii) the Depositary shall have determined that such distribution is reasonably practicable and (iii) the Depositary shall have received satisfactory documentation within the terms of Section 14 of the Deposit Agreement including, without limitation, any legal opinions of counsel in any applicable jurisdiction that the Depositary in its reasonable discretion may request, at the expense of the Company. If the above conditions are not satisfied, the Depositary shall, to the extent permitted by law, distribute to the Holders, on the basis of the same determination as is made in the local market in respect of the Shares for which no election is made, either (x) cash or (y) additional ADSs representing such additional Shares. If the above conditions are satisfied, the Depositary shall establish a record date and establish procedures to enable Holders to elect the receipt of the proposed dividend in cash or in additional ADSs. The Company shall assist the Depositary in establishing such procedures to the extent necessary. Nothing herein shall obligate the Depositary to make available to Holders a method to receive the elective dividend in Shares (rather than ADSs). There can be no assurance that Holders generally, or any Holder in particular, will be given the opportunity to receive elective distributions on the same terms and conditions as the holders of Shares.
