These convertible notes constitute the second tranche of a total issuance of up to EUR 15 million guaranteed by an agreement between YA Global Master SPV Ltd. ("Yorkville") and the Company, as announced in an ad hoc release dated 12 February 2014. Prior to this, a first tranche of convertible notes issued in March 2014 of nominally EUR 500,000.00 was completely converted into shares. Following the successful conversion of previously issued tranches, 4SC's Management will decide independently on a case-by-case basis whether additional tranches will be issued. Excluding the pre-emptive rights of existing shareholders, the convertible notes will be issued exclusively to Yorkville at a subscription price corresponding to 95% of the nominal amount. The notes carry no interest, have a term of nine month and may be converted into shares of 4SC by the holder of the notes at any time. The conversion price equals the volume weighted average trading price of 4SC shares during a five-day period prior to the time of conversion, less a 5% discount, but it cannot be lower than EUR 1.00.
