Entry into PIPE Subscription Agreements

On May 6, 2024, Apollomics Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), entered into subscription agreements (the “PIPE Subscription Agreements”) for a private placement (the “PIPE”) with certain accredited investors (each, a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”). The closing of the PIPE is expected to occur on May 8, 2024 (the “Closing Date”).

Pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreements, the Purchasers have agreed to purchase an aggregate of 19,166,666 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “PIPE Shares”), at a price per share of $0.30, representing aggregate gross proceeds to the company of $5.75 million, prior to the payment of fees and expenses.

The PIPE Subscription Agreements contain customary representations and warranties of the Company and the Purchasers, customary conditions to closing, as well as customary indemnification obligations. Pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreements, the Company has agreed to register the resale of the PIPE Shares and is required to prepare and file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission no later than thirty days following the Closing Date.

The securities to be issued and sold to the Purchasers under the PIPE Subscription Agreements will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, or under any state securities laws. The Company relied on this exemption from registration based in part on representations made by the Purchasers. The securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. Neither this Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K, nor the exhibits attached hereto, is an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein.

The foregoing summary of the PIPE Subscription Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the PIPE Subscription Agreements, a form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, an “Apollomics Material Adverse Effect” means an event, change, development, occurrence, condition or effect with respect to Apollomics and its subsidiaries, taken together as a whole (on a consolidated basis), that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Apollomics’ ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the issuance and sale of the Subscribed Shares.

(b) As of the Subscription Closing Date, the Subscribed Shares will be duly authorized and, when issued and delivered to Subscriber against full payment therefor in accordance with the terms of this Subscription Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

(c) This Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Apollomics, and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the same by Subscriber, this Subscription Agreement shall constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of Apollomics, enforceable against Apollomics in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and by the availability of equitable remedies.

(d) The authorized share capital of Apollomics consists of 500,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, 100,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, and 50,000,000 preference shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of which 3,000,000 are designated as Series A Preferred Shares.

(j) Subscriber acknowledges that (A) Apollomics currently may have, and later may come into possession of, information regarding Apollomics that is not known to Subscriber and that may be material to a decision to enter into this transaction (“Excluded Information”), (B) Subscriber has determined to enter into this transaction notwithstanding its lack of knowledge of the Excluded Information, and (C) Apollomics shall not have liability to Subscriber, and Subscriber hereby to the extent permitted by law waives and releases any claims it may have against Apollomics with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information.

(k) Subscriber became aware of this offering of the Subscribed Shares solely by means of direct contact between Subscriber and Apollomics or one of its representatives or affiliates, or by means of contact from any placement agent engaged by Apollomics (each a “Placement Agent” and collectively, the “Placement Agents”), and the Subscribed Shares were offered to Subscriber solely by direct contact between Subscriber and the Apollomics (or its representative or affiliate) or the Placement Agents. Subscriber did not become aware of this offering of the Subscribed Shares, nor were the Subscribed Shares offered to Subscriber, by any other means. Subscriber acknowledges that the Subscribed Shares (i) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D of the Securities Act) and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws.

 

10


(l) Subscriber acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the Subscribed Shares, including those set forth in Apollomics’ filings with the SEC. Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Subscribed Shares, and Subscriber has had an opportunity to seek, and has sought, such accounting, legal, business and tax advice as Subscriber has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision. Neither Apollomics nor any of its affiliates nor the Placement Agents have offered Subscriber any tax advice relating to Subscriber’s investment in the Subscribed Shares, or made any representations, warranties or guarantees regarding the tax consequences of Subscriber’s investment in the Subscribed Shares.

(m) Alone, or together with any professional advisors, Subscriber has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the Subscribed Shares and determined that the Subscribed Shares are a suitable investment for Subscriber and that Subscriber is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of Subscriber’s investment in Apollomics. Subscriber acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

(n) Subscriber understands and agrees that no federal or state agency or any other government or Governmental Authority (whether foreign or domestic) has passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Subscribed Shares or made any findings or determination as to the fairness of this investment.

(o) Subscriber is not, and is not owned or controlled by or acting on behalf of (in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby), a Sanctioned Person. Subscriber is not a non-U.S. shell bank or providing banking services to a non-U.S. shell bank. Subscriber represents that if it is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), that Subscriber maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. Subscriber also represents that, to the extent required by applicable law, it maintains, either directly or through the use of a third-party administrator, policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of any investors against Sanctions-related lists of blocked or restricted persons. Subscriber further represents and warrants that the funds held by Subscriber and used to purchase the Subscribed Shares are derived from lawful activities. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “Sanctioned Person” means at any time any person or entity: (i) listed on any Sanctions-related list of designated or blocked or restricted persons, (ii) that is a national of, the government of, or any agency or instrumentality of the government of, or resident in, or organized under the laws of, a country or territory that is the target of comprehensive Sanctions from time to time (as of the date of this Subscription Agreement, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea region) or (iii) owned or controlled by or acting on behalf of any of the foregoing. “Sanctions” means those trade, economic and financial sanctions laws, regulations, embargoes, and restrictive measures (in each case having the force of law) administered, enacted or enforced from time to time by (A) the United States (including without limitation the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. Department of State, and the U.S. Department of Commerce), (B) the European Union and enforced by its member states, (C) the United Nations and (D) Her Majesty’s Treasury.

 

11


(p) Subscriber, together with its affiliates that will hold the Subscribed Shares, are not currently (and at all times through the Closing will refrain from being or becoming) members of a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act or any successor provision) acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of equity securities of Apollomics (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act).

(q) No foreign person (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.224) in which the national or subnational governments of a single foreign state have a substantial interest (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.244) will acquire a substantial interest in Apollomics as a result of the purchase and sale of Subscribed Shares hereunder such that a declaration to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States would be mandatory under 31 C.F.R. Part 800.401, and no foreign person will have control (as defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800.208) over Apollomics from and after the Closing as a result of the purchase and sale of Subscribed Shares hereunder.

(r) If Subscriber is an employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), a plan, an individual retirement account or other arrangement that is subject to section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or an employee benefit plan that is a governmental plan (as defined in section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in section 3(33) of ERISA), a non-U.S. plan (as described in section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) or other plan that is not subject to the foregoing but may be subject to provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code, or an entity whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement (each, a “Plan”) subject to the fiduciary or prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or section 4975 of the Code, Subscriber represents and warrants that (i) neither Apollomics, nor any of its respective affiliates (the “Transaction Parties”) has acted as the Plan’s fiduciary, or has been relied on for advice, with respect to its decision to acquire and hold the Subscribed Shares, and none of the Transaction Parties shall at any time be relied upon as the Plan’s fiduciary with respect to any decision to acquire, continue to hold or transfer the Subscribed Shares and (ii) the acquisition and holding of the Subscribed Shares will not result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

(s) Subscriber has or has commitments to have, and, when required to deliver payment to Apollomics pursuant to Section 2 above, will have, sufficient funds to pay the Purchase Price and to consummate the purchase of the Subscribed Shares when required pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

(t) At all times at or prior to the Closing, Subscriber has no binding commitment to dispose of, or otherwise transfer (directly or indirectly), any of the Subscribed Shares.

(u) Subscriber acknowledges its obligations under applicable securities laws with respect to the treatment of non-public information relating to Apollomics.

(v) Subscriber has no present intent to effect a “change of control” of Apollomics as such term is understood under the rules promulgated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and under the rules of the Stock Exchange.

Section 5. Registration Rights.

(a) Apollomics shall, within thirty (30) calendar days following the Closing, file with the SEC (at Apollomics’ sole cost and expense) a registration statement on Form F-3 or such other form of registration statement as is then available (the “Registration Statement”) registering the resale of Subscribed Shares, and Apollomics shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the sixtieth (60th) calendar day (if the SEC notifies Apollomics that it will “review” such Registration Statement) following the day in which Apollomics initially filed the Registration Statement and (ii) the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date Apollomics is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such date, the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, however, that Apollomics’ obligations to include Subscriber’s Subscribed Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to Apollomics such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of Apollomics held by Subscriber and the intended method of distribution of the Subscribed Shares (which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings) as shall be reasonably requested by Apollomics to effect the registration of the Subscribed Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as Apollomics may reasonably request that are customary of a selling shareholder in similar situations. Apollomics agrees that, except for such times as Apollomics is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, Apollomics will use its reasonable best efforts to, at its expense, cause such Registration Statement or another registration statement (which may be a “shelf registration statement”) to remain effective with respect to Subscriber, keep any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which Apollomics determines to obtain continuously effective with respect to Subscriber, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement or any subsequent shelf registration statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earliest of (i) the date on which all of the Subscribed Shares shall have been sold, (ii) the first date on which the undersigned can sell all of its Subscribed Shares under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without limitation as to the manner of sale, the amount of such securities that may be sold and without the requirement for Apollomics to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144, and (iii) three years after the initial Registration Statement filed hereunder is declared effective; provided that, Apollomics shall be entitled to delay the filing or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require Subscriber not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if (A) Apollomics’ board of directors (the “Apollomics Board”) reasonably determines that in order for the Registration Statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, (B) the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by Apollomics or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event the Apollomics Board reasonably believes would require additional disclosure by Apollomics in the Registration Statement of material information that Apollomics has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Apollomics Board to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements or (C) in the reasonable judgment of the Apollomics Board, such filing or effectiveness or use of such Registration Statement would be seriously detrimental to Apollomics (such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that Apollomics may not delay or suspend the Registration Statement

 

13


for more than 60 consecutive calendar days or for more than 120 calendar days in any 360 day period. Upon receipt of any written notice from Apollomics (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding Apollomics) of the happening of any Suspension Event during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, Subscriber agrees that (1) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Subscribed Shares under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until Subscriber receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which Apollomics agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatements or omissions referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by Apollomics that it may resume such offers and sales, and (2) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by Apollomics unless otherwise required by law or subpoena. If so directed by Apollomics, Subscriber will deliver to Apollomics or, in Subscriber’s sole discretion destroy, all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscribed Shares in Subscriber’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Subscribed Shares shall not apply (I) to the extent Subscriber is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (x) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (y) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (II) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents Apollomics from including any or all of the Ordinary Shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Ordinary Shares by the applicable shareholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of Subscribed Shares which is equal to the maximum number of Subscribed Shares as is permitted by the Commission. In such event, the number of Subscribed Shares to be registered for each selling shareholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling shareholders, and as promptly as practicable after being permitted to register additional Subscribed Shares under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, Apollomics shall file a new Registration Statement to register such Subscribed Shares not included in the initial Registration Statement and cause such Registration Statement to become effective as promptly as practicable consistent with the terms of this Section 5. In no event shall Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless in response to a comment or request from the staff of the SEC or another regulatory agency; provided, however, that if the SEC requests that Subscriber be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, Subscriber will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement. Subscriber shall not be entitled to use the Registration Statement for an underwritten offering of Subscribed Shares and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subscription Agreement, Apollomics shall not have any obligation to prepare any prospectus supplement, participate in any due diligence, execute any agreements or certificates or deliver legal opinions or obtain comfort letters in connection with any sales of the Subscribed Shares under the Registration Statement.

 

14


(b) Apollomics shall promptly advise Subscriber within two (2) Business Days:

 

  (i)

when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

 

  (ii)

of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;

 

  (iii)

of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

 

  (iv)

of the receipt by Apollomics of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Subscribed Shares included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

 

  (v)

subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Apollomics shall not, when so advising Subscriber of such events, provide Subscriber with any material, non-public information regarding Apollomics other than to the extent that providing notice to Subscriber of the occurrence of the events listed in (i) through (v) above constitutes material, non-public information regarding Apollomics or subjects the Subscriber to any duty of confidentiality.

(c) Apollomics shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement if such order should be issued.

(d) Except for such times as Apollomics is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, Apollomics shall use its reasonable best efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Subscribed Shares included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(e) Apollomics shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Subscribed Shares to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, on which the Ordinary Shares have been listed.

 

15


(f) Apollomics will use its commercially reasonable efforts to (A) at the reasonable request of Subscriber, deliver all the necessary documentation to cause the transfer agent to Apollomics to remove all restrictive legends from any of the Subscribed Shares being sold under the Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 at the time of sale of such Subscribed Shares, or that may be sold by Subscriber without restriction under Rule 144, including without limitation, any volume, information and manner of sale restrictions, and (B) deliver or cause its legal counsel to deliver to the transfer agent to Apollomics the necessary legal opinions or instruction letters required by the transfer agent to Apollomics, if any, in connection with the instruction under clause (A), in each case in the case of clauses (A) and (B), upon the receipt of Subscriber’s representation letters and such other customary supporting documentation as requested by (and in a form reasonably acceptable to) Apollomics and its counsel. Subscriber agrees to disclose their respective beneficial ownership, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, of Subscribed Shares to Apollomics (or its successor) upon reasonable request to assist Apollomics in making the determination described above.

(i) Subscriber may deliver written notice (an “Opt-Out Notice”) to Apollomics requesting that Subscriber not receive notices from Apollomics otherwise required by this Section 5; provided, however, that Subscriber may later revoke any such Opt-Out Notice in writing. Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from Subscriber (unless subsequently revoked), (i) Apollomics shall not deliver any such notices to Subscriber and Subscriber shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (ii) each time prior to Subscriber’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, Subscriber will notify Apollomics in writing at least two (2) Business Days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this Section 5(i)) and the related suspension period remains in effect, Apollomics will so notify Subscriber, within one (1) Business Day of Subscriber’s notification to Apollomics, by delivering to Subscriber a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide Subscriber with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event promptly following its availability.

Section 6. Termination. Except for Section 7 and 8, which shall survive any termination of this Subscription Agreement, unless otherwise stipulated hereunder, this Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the mutual written agreement of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement; provided, that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at Law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such breach.

Section 7. Indemnity.

(a) Apollomics agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by Law, the Subscriber, its directors, and officers, employees, and agents, and each person who controls the Subscriber (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) and each affiliate of the Subscriber (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act), to the extent the Subscriber is a seller under the Registration Statement, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees and

 

16


expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to Apollomics by or on behalf of the Subscriber expressly for use therein.

(b) The Subscriber agrees, in connection with any Registration Statement under which the Subscriber is a seller, severally and not jointly with any person that is a party to the Other Subscription Agreements, to indemnify and hold harmless Apollomics, its affiliates and its and its affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person who controls Apollomics (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained (or not contained, in the case of an omission) in any information or affidavit so furnished by or on behalf of the Subscriber expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of the Subscriber be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by the Subscriber upon the sale of the Subscribed Shares giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(c) Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent. An indemnifying party who elects not to assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(d) The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, employee, agent, affiliate or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Subscribed Shares.

 

17


(e) If the indemnification provided under this Section 7 from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made (or not made, in the case of an omission) by, or relates to information supplied (or not supplied, in the case of an omission) by or on behalf of, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the other limitations set forth in this Section 7, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 7 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Any contribution pursuant to this Section 7(e) by any seller of Subscribed Shares shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Subscribed Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event will any party be liable for consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages in connection with this Subscription Agreement.

Section 8. Miscellaneous.

(a) All notices, requests, demands, claims, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and be deemed to have been duly given (i) when delivered in person, (ii) three Business Days after being sent, if sent by registered or certified mail return receipt requested, postage prepaid, (iii) one Business Day after being sent, if sent by FedEx or other nationally recognized overnight delivery service, or (iv) when delivered by email with electronic confirmation of delivery, in each case, addressed to the intended recipient at its address specified on the signature page hereof or to such electronic mail address or address as subsequently modified by written notice given in accordance with this Section 8(a).

(b) Subscriber acknowledges that Apollomics and others have relied and will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of Subscriber contained in this Subscription Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing clause of this Section 8(b) shall not give Apollomics or any third party any rights other than as expressly set forth herein. Prior to the Closing, Subscriber agrees to promptly notify Apollomics if it becomes aware that any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of Subscriber set forth herein are no longer accurate in all material respects. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the purchase by Subscriber of Subscribed Shares from Apollomics

 

18


will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties herein by Subscriber as of the Closing. Apollomics acknowledges that Subscriber will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of Apollomics contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, Apollomics agrees to promptly notify Subscriber if it becomes aware that any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties of Apollomics set forth herein are no longer accurate in all material respects.

(c) Each of Apollomics and Subscriber is entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

(d) Subscriber shall pay all of its own expenses in connection with this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein.

(e) Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that it will not, nor will any person acting at Subscriber’s direction or pursuant to any understanding with Subscriber, directly or indirectly offer, sell, pledge, contract to sell, sell any option, engage in hedging activities or execute any “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 of Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act, of the Subscribed Shares until the consummation of the Closing (or the earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement in accordance with its terms).

(f) Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to Subscriber hereunder (other than the Subscribed Shares acquired hereunder, if any) may be transferred or assigned. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to Apollomics hereunder may be transferred or assigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subscriber may assign its rights and obligations under this Subscription Agreement to one or more of its affiliates (including other investment funds or accounts managed or advised by the investment manager who acts on behalf of Subscriber, if any) or, with Apollomics’ prior written consent, to another person, provided that no such assignment shall relieve Subscriber of its obligations hereunder if any such assignee fails to perform such obligations.

(g) All the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing.

(h) Apollomics may request from Subscriber such additional information as Apollomics may reasonably deem necessary to evaluate the eligibility of Subscriber to acquire the Subscribed Shares, and Subscriber shall provide such information as may be reasonably requested. Subscriber acknowledges that Apollomics may file a copy of the form of this Subscription Agreement with the SEC as an exhibit to a report of Apollomics or a registration statement of Apollomics.

(i) This Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto.

 

19


(j) This Subscription Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(k) Except as otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person. Each of the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each of the parties hereto shall be entitled to seek and obtain equitable relief, without proof of actual damages, including an injunction or injunctions or order for specific performance to prevent breaches of this Subscription Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement to cause Apollomics to cause, or directly cause, Subscriber to fund the Purchase Price and cause the Closing to occur on the Subscription Closing Date. Each party hereto further agrees that none of the parties hereto shall be required to obtain, furnish, or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 8(k), and each party hereto irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing, or posting of any such bond of similar instrument.

(l) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that money or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for such damage. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to equitable relief, including in the form of an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Subscription Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Apollomics shall be entitled to specifically enforce Subscriber’s obligations to fund the Purchase Price set forth on the signature page hereto and the provisions of the Subscription Agreement, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree: (i) to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy; (ii) not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement pursuant to this Section 8(l) is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable Law or inequitable for any reason; and (iii) to waive any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at Law would be adequate. In connection with any proceeding for which Apollomics is being granted an award of money damages, the Subscriber agrees that such damages, to the extent payable by such party, shall include, without limitation, damages related to the consideration that is or was to be paid to Apollomics under this Subscription Agreement, and such damages are not limited to an award of out-of-pocket fees and expenses related to this Subscription Agreement.

(m) In any dispute arising out of or related to this Subscription Agreement, or any other agreement, document, instrument or certificate contemplated hereby, or any transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the applicable adjudicating body shall award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the dispute and the enforcement of its rights under this Subscription Agreement or any other agreement, document, instrument or certificate contemplated hereby and, if the adjudicating body determines a party to be the prevailing party under circumstances where the prevailing party won

 

20


on some but not all of the claims and counterclaims, the adjudicating body may award the prevailing party an appropriate percentage of the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the adjudication and the enforcement of its rights under this Subscription Agreement or any other agreement, document, instrument or certificate contemplated hereby or thereby.

(n) If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

(o) No failure or delay by a party hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Subscription Agreement, and no course of dealing between the parties hereto, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy of such party.
