Babylon Note Subscription Agreement

As previously announced, on October 8, 2021, Babylon Holdings Ltd. (“Babylon”), Alkuri Global Acquisition Corp.’s (the “Company” or “Alkuri”) Business Combination (defined below) target, announced entering into a note subscription agreement (the “Note Subscription Agreement”) in connection with the proposed business combination (the “Business Combination”) between Alkuri and Babylon and the other parties to the Merger Agreement dated June 3, 2021 (the “Combination Agreement”). The Note Subscription Agreement provides for the proposed issue of up to US $200,000,000 unsecured Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”) to certain Note subscribers, being AlbaCore Partners II Investment Holdings D Designated Activity Company, AlbaCore Partners III Investment Holdings Designated Activity Company and AlbaCore Strategic Investments LP (each a “Note Subscriber”, together the “Note Subscribers”). The Note Subscribers are affiliates of, or funds managed or controlled by, AlbaCore Capital LLP.

The material terms of the Note Subscription Agreement are as follows:

The Notes will be constituted on the terms of a deed poll to be issued by Babylon, which is in agreed form between Babylon and the Note Subscribers (the “Notes Deed Poll”). The aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be issued is to be determined by Babylon and confirmed in writing to the Note Subscribers on or prior to the occurrence of the effective time of the Combination Agreement and shall not be less than US$100,000,000 and no more than US$200,000,000 (the “Principal Amount”). The closing date for the issue of the Notes (the “Closing Date”) shall take place on the date that is 10 business days after the occurrence of the effective time of the Combination Agreement and, unless otherwise agreed between Babylon and the Note Subscribers, must not be later than December 31, 2021.

On the Closing Date, Babylon will issue an aggregate total of 1,757,499 warrants (the “Warrants”) to subscribe for Class A ordinary shares of US$0.0000422573245084686 in the capital of Babylon (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”). The Warrants will be issued to the Note Subscribers on a pro rata basis by reference to the relevant proportion of the Principal Amount of Notes subscribed for by each Note Subscriber and will be constituted on the terms of a warrant instrument to be issued by Babylon on the Closing Date, which is in agreed form between Babylon and the Note Subscribers (the “Warrant Instrument”).

The obligation on each Note Subscriber to subscribe for the Notes is conditional upon: (i) the execution and delivery by Babylon of the Notes Deed Poll and the Warrant Instrument, (ii) the occurrence of the effective time of the Combination Agreement, (iii) consent from the investors purchasing Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Subscription Agreements in connection with the Combination Agreement, for a total aggregate price of up to $230 million, to the issue of the Notes, (iv) receipt of any shareholder approvals that may be required, (v) no event having occurred which would constitute (after the issue of the Notes) an event of default or default under the conditions applicable to the Notes as set out in the Notes Deed Poll (the “Notes Conditions”), (vi) the representations made by Babylon on the Closing Date being true in all material respects or, if the representation is qualified by materiality, in all respects, and (vii) delivery of other customary conditions precedent to the satisfaction of the Note Subscribers (together, (i) to (vii) being the “Conditions Precedent”). Customary representations and warranties were given by Babylon on the date of the Note Subscription Agreement and certain of them will be repeated or given only on the Closing Date.

The Note Subscribers may, at any time, waive any of the Conditions Precedent excluding the Condition Precedent that the effective time of the Combination Agreement has occurred, which may only be waived with the prior written consent of Babylon. If on the Closing Date Babylon fails to issue the Notes or the Warrants or fails to fulfil any Conditions Precedent that have not been waived by the Note Subscribers to each Note Subscriber's satisfaction, the Note Subscribers will not be obliged to subscribe for the Notes.

The proceeds from the issue of the Notes will be used by Babylon for general corporate purposes. Babylon is required to pay to the Note Subscribers an amount equal to all costs and expenses properly incurred by them in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of the Note Subscription Agreement, Notes Deed Poll and Warrant Instrument and related documentation up to a maximum aggregate amount of US$500,000 (inclusive of VAT) within 30 days of the Closing Date.

Terms of the Notes due 2026

The terms applicable to the Notes (including the Notes Conditions) are set out in the Notes Deed Poll, which will be executed and delivered by Babylon on the Closing Date on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Note Subscription Agreement.

As set out in the Note Subscription Agreement, the Notes are to be issued at a discount issue price of 95.50% of the stated Principal Amount. The Notes will bear interest accruing on the Principal Amount (which for these purposes shall include any capitalised interest from time to time) at the following rates: (i) 8.00% per annum for the period commencing from (and including) the date of issue of the Notes (the “Issue Date”) to (but excluding) the date falling two years after the Issue Date; (ii) 10.00% per annum for the period commencing from (and including) the date falling two years after the Issue Date, to (but excluding) the date falling three years after the Issue Date; and (iii) 12.00% per annum for the period commencing from (and including) the date falling three years after the Issue Date. The applicable interest rate is subject to a step-up margin of 6.5 basis points per annum if Babylon and its subsidiaries do not achieve an agreed target of adding 100,000 Medicaid lives to value based care contracts by January 1, 2024.

Interest will be payable on the Notes semi-annually, with the first interest payment expected to fall due in 2022 on the six-month anniversary of the Issue Date. At Babylon’s election, up to 50.00% of the interest payable in respect of any interest period may be satisfied by the issuance by Babylon of further Notes to be immediately consolidated and form a single series with the outstanding Notes. The Notes will mature five years from the Issue Date (the “Final Maturity Date”). The exact interest payment dates and the Final Maturity Date will be determined upon the execution of the Notes Deed Poll at, or around, the Closing Date.

The prior written consent of Babylon is required for any transfer of Notes subject to certain exceptions. The Warrants are stapled to the Notes and no transfer of the Notes may occur unless an equivalent proportion of the Warrants is transferred at the same time.

Babylon is required to redeem the Notes (unless previously purchased and cancelled or redeemed) on the Final Maturity Date at 100% of the principal amount on such date. Babylon may redeem the Notes at any time at a redemption amount (the “Redemption Amount”) equal to: (i) from (and including) the Issue Date to (but excluding) the date falling one year after the Issue Date, the amount that is the greater of (A) 104.00% of the principal amount (including capitalised interest) and (B) 104.00% of the principal amount (including capitalised interest) plus an interest make whole premium; (ii) from (and including) the date falling one year after the Issue Date to (but excluding) the date falling two years after the Issue Date, 104.00% of the principal amount (including any capitalised interest); and (iii) on or after the date falling two years after the Issue Date and until (but not including or after) the Final Maturity Date, 107.00% of the principal amount (including any capitalised interest). Each holder of Notes (each a “Noteholder”) has the option to require Babylon to redeem the Notes held by such Noteholder at the Redemption Amount upon a "change of control" in respect of Babylon as specified in the Notes Deed Poll.

Subject to certain limitations and exceptions, the Notes Deed Poll contains covenants limiting the ability of Babylon and its subsidiaries to, among other things: incur additional debt; pay or declare dividends or distributions on Babylon’s share capital; repay or distribute any share premium reserve or redeem, repurchase or retire its share capital; incur or allow to remain outstanding guarantees; make certain joint venture investments; enter into finance or capital lease contracts; create liens on Babylon’s or its subsidiaries assets; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; pay management and advisory fees outside the ordinary course of business; acquire a company or any shares or securities or a business or undertaking; merge or consolidate with another company; borrow or receive investments from certain shareholders other than through Babylon; and sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets. The Notes Deed Poll also contains customary events of default.

Terms of the Warrants

The terms applicable to the Warrants are set out in the Warrant Instrument, which will be executed and delivered by Babylon on the Closing Date on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Note Subscription Agreement.

The Warrants confer the right to subscribe for up to a maximum of 1,757,499 Class A Ordinary Shares exercisable on certain agreed exercise events (summarised below), subject to: (i) Babylon’s right to elect to redeem the Warrants in whole or in part in cash upon an exercise event; (ii) an agreed adjustment formula to reduce the number of Class A Ordinary Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants in certain circumstances linked to Babylon’s trading performance; and (iii) customary adjustments for certain share capital reorganisations (such as share splits and consolidations).

The exercise events applicable to the Warrants occur: (i) on the first date following which the closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares has equalled or exceeded US$15.00 per Class A Ordinary Share (subject to customary adjustments) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 18 months after the Issue Date; (ii) where the Noteholders give a redemption notice under the Notes Deed Poll on the occurrence of a change of control in respect of Babylon; (iii) where Babylon elects to redeem the Notes prior to the Final Maturity Date in accordance with its rights to do so under the Notes Deed Poll; and (iv) on the Final Maturity Date. Upon an exercise event, the Warrants are exercisable in full and not in part only.

Upon any exercise event Babylon has a right to elect to satisfy the subscription entitlement in respect of the Warrants by issuing Class A Ordinary Shares, by making a redemption payment in cash, or by a combination of both (in such proportions as Babylon may in its absolute discretion determine). The cash redemption payment per Warrant shall be determined by reference to the closing price for the Class A Ordinary Shares on such date as is specified in the Warrant Instrument in respect of each exercise event, provided that if the closing price is in excess of US$15.00 per Class A Ordinary Share (subject to customary adjustments), the cash redemption payment shall be capped at US$15.00 per Warrant.

Where Babylon elects upon exercise of the Warrants to issue Class A Ordinary Shares in satisfaction in whole or in part of the subscription entitlement under the Warrants, Babylon is required to issue one Class A Ordinary Share credited as fully paid and free from all encumbrances (except as set out in Babylon’s memorandum and articles of association from time to time) per Warrant held, subject to a proportionate downwards adjustment to the number of Class A Ordinary Shares to be issued per Warrant where the closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares on such date as is specified in the Warrant Instrument in respect of each exercise event is in excess of US$15.00 per Class A Ordinary Share.

The prior written consent of Babylon is required for any transfer of Warrants subject to certain exceptions. The Warrants are stapled to the Notes and no transfer of the Warrants may occur unless an equivalent proportion of the Notes is transferred at the same time.

The foregoing descriptions of the agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the terms and conditions of the actual agreements.
