Completion of the transfer of Sale Shares is subject to conditions which include, among others, the procurement of all necessary consents, approvals and authorisations as well as the performance and/or compliance with certain undertakings, covenants and agreements. It is currently expected that the transfer of the Sale Shares will be completed in August 2021.

Simultaneous with the transfer of the Sale Shares, Aqua Wealth has granted a call option to New Harvest (or any of its designated affiliates) for a period of one (1) year after the completion of the sale of the Sale Shares (the "Option") over units in the Trust (the "Units") which, in aggregate, shall not exceed the lower of (a) the total Units owned by Aqua Wealth; and (b) 26.0% of the total Units, in each case as of the date when the Option is exercised.
