(the "Escrow Agent"), in its capacity as escrow agent, dated as at the Closing Date; (iii) a resale registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") entered into among the Acquiror, Greenbrook, Theragroup and the Trust, dated as at the Closing Date; and (iv) a lock-up agreement entered into among the Seller Parties, NeuroHealth and Greenbrook dated as at the Closing Date (the "Lock-Up" and, collectively with the Investor Rights Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, the "Ancillary Agreements"). The material terms of each of the Ancillary Agreements relating to the securities of Greenbrook owned, or controlled or directed, by the Reporting Persons or issuable to the Reporting Persons are summarized below:
Investor Rights Agreement
Pursuant to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, the Acquiror has the right to nominate a single representative to the board of directors of Greenbrook for so long as the Acquiror and the other Seller Parties (together with any affiliate of the Acquiror) own at least 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, subject to certain conditions, including applicable securities laws and stock exchange requirements.
The Investor Rights Agreement is filed with this Schedule 13D as Exhibit 99.3 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Investor Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Investor Rights Agreement.
Escrow Agreement
Pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, 2,908,665 Common Shares have been deposited with the Escrow Agent, with portions of such Common Shares to be released to the Acquiror or Greenbrook upon: (i) the final determination of Success TMS final indebtedness and net working capital as compared to estimates immediately prior to the Closing Date (the "Post-Closing Adjustment") pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement; and (ii) the determination of whether any such Common Shares shall be required to be released to Greenbrook to satisfy any indemnification claims (each, a "Claim") made by Greenbrook against Acquiror and the other Seller Parties pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. 1,163,466 Common Shares (the "Adjustment Holdback Shares") have been deposited with the Escrow Agent to be released to either the Acquiror or Greenbrook pursuant to the Post-Closing Adjustment and 1,745,199 Common Shares (the "Indemnity Holdback Shares" and, together with the "Adjustment Holdback Shares, the "Escrow Shares") have been deposited with the Escrow Agent to be released to either the Acquiror or Greenbrook to satisfy the quantum of any Claims made by Greenbrook against the Acquiror and the other Seller Parties.
Subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Adjustment Holdback Shares shall be released from escrow and issued to either the Acquiror or Greenbrook following the completion of the Post-Closing Adjustment mechanics set out in Section 1.6 of the Purchase Agreement, which adjustments shall be based on the Acquiror and Greenbrook's final determination with respect to the calculation of the Post-Closing Net Adjustment Amount (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) reflecting the variance, if any, between the calculations set out in the Pre-Closing Statement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) delivered by the Acquiror and the other Seller Parties to Greenbrook as at the Closing Date and the calculations set out in the Post-Closing Statement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) to be delivered by Greenbrook to the Acquiror and the other Seller Parties no later than 90 days after the Closing Date, being October 12, 2022. If the Post-Closing Net Adjustment Amount is either zero or a positive number, then the Escrow Agent shall release all of the Adjustment Holdback Shares to the Acquiror and Greenbrook shall issue to Theragroup such number of additional Common Shares, if any, as is equal to the Post-Closing Net Adjustment Amount divided by the Closing VWAP (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), rounded up or down to the nearest whole number. If the Post-Closing Net Adjustment Amount is a negative number, then the number of Adjustment Holdback Shares that may be released to the Acquiror shall be reduced by the formula set out in Section 1.6(e) of the Purchase Agreement. In addition, should the Post-Closing Net Adjustment Amount be sufficiently negative such that the value of the Escrow Shares (as calculated under the terms of the Purchase Agreement) being held in escrow are insufficient to cover the Post-Closing Adjustment in favour of Greenbrook, then the Acquiror, together with Theragroup, will have the choice as to whether to forfeit Common Shares held by Theragroup and/or the Acquiror to cover such deficiency amount or pay cash to Greenbrook to cover such deficiency. The number of Common Shares that are ultimately issuable to the Acquiror following the Post-Closing Adjustment process may differ materially from the 1,163,466 Adjustment Holdback Shares initially deposited into escrow pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
Subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Indemnity Holdback Shares (if there are any remaining following Post-Closing Adjustment process set out above) shall be released from escrow and issued to either the Acquiror or Greenbrook on the 18-month anniversary (the "Indemnification Period") of the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement; provided that any Indemnity Holdback Shares that could be required to be released to Greenbrook to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) with respect to a pending claim for indemnification pursuant to the Purchase Agreement shall not be released from the escrow until such claim is fully resolved. Additional Common Shares may also be issuable to Theragroup pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement in connection with a claim by the Acquiror, in his capacity as Sellers' Representative (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) for Greenbrook to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The number of Common Shares that are ultimately issuable to the Acquiror following the Indemnification Period may differ materially from the 1,745,199 Indemnity Holdback Shares initially deposited into escrow pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
The Escrow Agreement is filed with this Schedule 13D as Exhibit 99.4 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Escrow Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Escrow Agreement.
Registration Rights Agreement
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Acquiror and the other Seller Parties (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) are entitled to certain customary registration rights (the "Registration Rights") in connection with the resale of the Common Shares acquired by them in connection with the completion of the Transaction, including any Escrow Shares issuable under the Escrow Agreement. Such Registration Rights include, but are not limited to, certain mandatory registration rights, demand registration rights, piggy-back registration rights and shelf registration rights under Canadian and U.S. securities laws, which rights shall be available to each of the Acquiror and the other Seller Parties. The Registration Rights under the Registration Rights Agreement shall continue for so long as the Acquiror and other Seller Parties (together with their affiliates) collectively hold at least 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares or the Seller Parties holding a majority of the Common Shares issued pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and Greenbrook mutually agree that such rights shall terminate.
The Registration Rights Agreement is filed with this Schedule 13D as Exhibit 99.5 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement.
Lock-Up
Pursuant to the terms of the Lock-Up, the Seller Parties have agreed to a 12-month lock-up period in respect of the Common Shares issued or issuable to them in connection with the completion of the Transaction pursuant to which each such party has agreed that, without the prior written consent of Greenbrook (and subject to compliance with applicable securities laws), none of them will, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, sell, contract to sell (including, without limitation, any short sale), grant or sell any option to purchase, hypothecate, pledge, transfer, assign, encumber, lend, swap, or enter into any hedging transaction or other agreement with the same economic effect as a sale or to transfer the economic consequences of, or otherwise dispose of or deal with, any Common Shares, or other securities of Greenbrook, or (ii) publicly announce any intention to do any of the foregoing.
The Lock-Up is filed with this Schedule 13D as Exhibit 99.6 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Lock-Up does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Lock-Up.
