In connection with the Distribution referred to in Item 4 above, JAB Holdings entered into Redemption Agreements (see Item 4), in each case substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2, with KK G.P. and each of the Partners of KK G.P., including JAB Indulgence.

 

On July 6, 2021, JAB Holdings entered into an Investor Rights Agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”), with the Company that, among other things, (i) provides JAB Holdings with certain registration rights with respect to its Shares (including the Shares received in connection with the IPO) and (ii) provides JAB Holdings with certain information rights, which shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (1) the first date on which JAB Holdings no longer beneficially owns at least 15% of the total outstanding voting power of the Company, (2) the first date on which less than two representatives of JAB Holdings serve as members of the board of directors of the Company and (3) July 6, 2023, provided that, in the case of this clause (3), such date shall be extended for successive one year terms unless either the Company or JAB Holdings provides the other with written notice of non-renewal at least 90 days prior to such date (as it may be extended). The Investor Rights Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 5 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 6.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Joint Filing Agreement, the Redemption Agreements, the Lock-Up Agreements and the Investor Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such agreements, which are (or forms of which are) attached hereto or referenced herein as Exhibit 1, Exhibit 2, Exhibit 4 and Exhibit 5, respectively.
