As consideration, the Company has agreed to issue (i) a number of Common Shares equal to $7.5 million divided by the volume weighted average price of the Common Shares for the ten trading days ending two business days prior to closing date of the Additional Transaction and (ii) a number of Common Shares equal to $7.5 million divided by the volume weighted average price of the Common Shares for the ten trading days ending two business days before certain earnout conditions are met. All of the Common Shares to be issued in the Additional Transaction will be pledged to a subsidiary of Nabors for a period of time to satisfy potential indemnity claims under the Additional Agreement and to satisfy certain earnout conditions.
