In the event of a change of control of CSI, any member of the Joday Group has the right, at their option, to sell all of its Topicus Coop Units to CSI at a cash price per Topicus Coop Unit determined in accordance with the IRGA. Upon the exercise of such option by a member of the Joday Group, CSI will be obligated to purchase all such Topicus Coop Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CSI can offer Topicus the right to purchase such Topicus Coop Units in lieu of CSI.
If CSI reduces its economic interest in Topicus by a sale or transfer of its economic interest (and not due to any additional issuance of any shares or equity by Topicus) by more than one-third (calculated on a fully converted basis in accordance with the IRGA), any member of the Joday Group has the right, at their option, to sell to CSI one-third of its Topicus Coop Units at a cash price per Topicus Coop Unit determined in accordance with the IRGA. Upon the exercise of such put option by a member of the Joday Group, CSI will be obligated to purchase all such put Topicus Coop Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CSI can offer Topicus the right to purchase such Topicus Coop Units in lieu of CSI. Any member of the Joday Group has a similar right to sell one-half or all of its remaining Topicus Coop Units, respectively, at its option, if CSI further reduces its remaining fully-diluted economic interest in Topicus by a sale or transfer of its economic interest by one-half and again if CSI sells its entire remaining economic interest in Topicus.
All of the Topicus Coop Ordinary Units held by the Joday Group and Ijssel B.V. (collectively, the “Topicus Coop Exchangeable Units”) are exchangeable, directly or indirectly, for Topicus Subordinate Voting Shares. All of the above rights of members of the Joday Group apply to any Topicus Subordinate Voting Shares issued on an exchange of Topicus Coop Exchangeable Units.
At any time after December 31, 2023, CSI has the right, at its option, to buy all of the Topicus Coop Units and shares of Topicus held by certain members of the Joday Group (excluding Joday) at a cash price per Topicus Coop Unit (or share of Topicus, as applicable) determined in accordance with the IRGA. After December 31, 2043, CSI has the same right to buy all of the Topicus Coop Units and shares of Topicus held by the remaining members of the Joday Group, including Joday.
In addition, if certain individuals affiliated with Joday are terminated from their employment with Topicus Coop or an affiliate thereof for urgent cause (as defined in the Dutch Civil Code), CSI has the right, at its option, to buy all of Topicus Coop Units held by such individuals at a cash price per Topicus Coop Unit determined in accordance with the IRGA.
The Company has continued to classify the above obligations of CSI under the terms of the IRGA as a liability. The main valuation driver in such calculation is the maintenance and other recurring revenue of Topicus. Maintenance and recurring revenue of Topicus for the trailing twelve months on a pro-forma basis determined at the end of the current reporting period was used as the basis for valuing the interests at each redemption date. Any increase or decrease in the value of such liability is recorded as an expense or income in the consolidated statements of income (loss) for the period.
During the periods ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no options were exercised. During the year December 31, 2022, a distribution in the amount of $23 was paid to the Joday Group.
