MENA Escrow Agreement
BPGIC Holdings, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”) and MENA Energy entered into an escrow agreement, dated December 19, 2019 (the “MENA Escrow Agreement”). At the Closing, 8,333,333 of the Ordinary Shares otherwise issuable to BPGIC Holdings (the “MENA Escrow Shares”) were instead issued to BPGIC Holdings in escrow, and are held by Continental, as escrow agent for the benefit of BPGIC Holdings, in a separate segregated escrow account (the “MENA Escrow Account”), to be released in accordance with the MENA Escrow Agreement. Any dividends, distributions or other income paid on or otherwise accruing to such MENA Escrow Shares (together with the MENA Escrow Shares, the “MENA Escrow Property”), shall belong to BPGIC Holdings.
While the MENA Escrow Shares are held in the MENA Escrow Account, BPGIC Holdings shall have all voting, consent and other rights (including the rights to dividends, distributions or other income paid or accruing to the MENA Escrow Shares). The MENA Escrow Agreement provides that after the Closing, BPGIC Holdings shall be permitted to (with the prior written consent of MENA Energy): (i) pledge or otherwise encumber the MENA Escrow Shares as collateral security for documented loans entered into by BPGIC Holdings after the Closing or (ii) transfer its rights to the MENA Escrow Shares to a third party, provided, that (a) in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), that the lender’s or transferee’s rights to any such pledged or transferred MENA Escrow Shares shall be subject to the provisions of the MENA Escrow Agreement including the forfeiture provisions contained therein, and (b) in the event of a pledge or encumbrance of the MENA Escrow Property under clause (i) above, BPGIC Holdings may transfer the MENA Escrow Shares to another escrow agent selected by BPGIC Holdings and reasonably acceptable to MENA Energy.

Securityholders’ Agreement
In connection with the issuance of the Securities, BPGIC Holdings entered into the New Securityholders’ Agreement, dated as of December 20, 2019, by and among MENA Energy, BPGIC Holdings and Brooge Petroleum and Gas Investment Company (BPGIC) PLC (the “Securityholders’ Agreement”). The primary purpose of the Securityholders’ Agreement is to grant MENA Energy certain rights in its capacity as a securityholder of BPGIC Holdings. As the Securities held by MENA Energy in BPGIC Holdings are convertible into Ordinary Shares, certain provisions of the Securityholders’ Agreement relate, directly or indirectly, to the Ordinary Shares held by BPGIC Holdings. Pursuant to the Securityholders’ Agreement, the securityholders are entitled to receive copies of all documents received by BPGIC Holdings in its capacity as a shareholder of the Issuer. The holder or holders of the Securities may not sell any of its Securities unless it obtains the prior written consent of BPGIC Holdings. Proposed sales of the Securities are subject to a right of first offer granted to the shareholders of BPGIC Holdings. MENA Energy holds a drag-along right over other securityholders with respect to sales and/or conversions of the Securities. The Securityholders’ Agreement further provides that, amongst other matters, BPGIC Holdings must obtain the consent of holders of a majority of the total principal amount of the Securities outstanding at the relevant time to acquire securities of any company or dispose of, sell, or transfer any assets of BPGIC Holdings which would result in it holding less than 50% of the Ordinary Shares it received in the Business Combination.
The description of the Securityholders’ Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 99.3.
