Share Repurchase Agreement and Amendments Thereto
On February 12, 2021, ArcelorMittal and Lumen entered into a share repurchase agreement (the “Share Repurchase Agreement”) in connection with the First Buy-Back Program and Second Buy-Back Program.
On June 21, 2021, ArcelorMittal and Lumen entered into an amendment to the Share Repurchase Agreement (the “First Amendment Agreement”) in connection with the Third Buy-Back Program.
On July 30, 2021, ArcelorMittal and Lumen entered into a second amendment to the Share Repurchase Agreement (the “Second Amendment Agreement”) in connection with the Fourth Buy-Back Program.
On November 17, 2021, ArcelorMittal and Lumen entered into a third amendment to the Share Repurchase Agreement (the “Third Amendment Agreement”) in connection with the Fifth Buy-Back Program. Under the Third Amendment Agreement, on each trading day during which ArcelorMittal conducts purchases under the Fifth Buy-Back Program, ArcelorMittal and Lumen have agreed to buy and sell, respectively, a number of ArcelorMittal Shares, such that the number of ArcelorMittal Shares so purchased and sold represents 36.34% of the sum of: (i) the total number of shares purchased by ArcelorMittal under the Fifth Buy-Back Program (other than from Lumen) and (ii) the number of ArcelorMittal Shares purchased by ArcelorMittal from Lumen pursuant to the Third Amendment Agreement, in each case on that trading day. Except as specifically provided for and varied by the Third Amendment Agreement, all of the terms and conditions of the Share Repurchase Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Accordingly, consistent with the Share Repurchase Agreement, the ArcelorMittal Shares to be repurchased from Lumen in connection with the Fifth Buy-Back Program during any trading day will be repurchased at the same weighted average price as the ArcelorMittal Shares purchased under the Fifth Buy-Back Program on the relevant trading day in the open market. Purchases and sales occurring during periods of five consecutive trading days will be settled together two trading days following the end of each such period. However, any settlement of ArcelorMittal Shares in connection with the Fifth Buy-Back Program will be postponed if such settlement would cause the Trustee to hold less than one-third of all the voting rights of ArcelorMittal (including those connected with the ArcelorMittal Shares held in treasury by or on behalf of ArcelorMittal or the subsidiaries of ArcelorMittal).
The foregoing summary of the Share Repurchase Agreement, the First Amendment Agreement, the Second Amendment Agreement and the Third Amendment Agreement are qualified by references to the full text of the Share Repurchase Agreement, the First Amendment Agreement, the Second Amendment Agreement and the Third Amendment Agreement, copies of which are included as Exhibit 8, Exhibit 9, Exhibit 10 and Exhibit 11, respectively, to this Sixteenth Amendment and which are incorporated herein by reference.
