Once the aggregate purchase price is known, Dealer will pay Andean an amount equal to the amount, if any, by which the Prepayment Amount (as defined in Item 6 below) exceeds the aggregate purchase price.
Item 4. | Purpose of the Transaction |
The information set forth or incorporated by reference in Item 6 is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 4.
On December 12, 2023, representatives of the Reporting Persons informed the Issuer of their investment in the Issuer, and on that day and the following days the Reporting Persons and the Issuer discussed a proposal by the Reporting Persons to develop a framework of collaboration for the benefit of the Issuer and its stakeholders, including with respect to strategic, operational and financial matters, including a proposal for Antofagasta to be represented on the board of directors of the Issuer (the Board). The Reporting Persons and the Issuer have not reached agreement on these matters as of the date of this filing.
The Reporting Persons may continue to discuss the foregoing matters and/or consider and/or develop other plans and/or make other proposals (whether preliminary or final) with respect to, among other things, potential changes in the Issuers business, operations, management, governance, organizational documents, size and composition of the Board and the election, term and replacement of members of the Board, ownership, capital or corporate structure, sale transactions, dividend policy, strategy and plans, as well as potential financings, business combinations, strategic alternatives and other matters concerning the Issuer. The Reporting Persons may communicate with the Board and members of the Issuers management team or other stakeholders or third parties regarding the foregoing. The Reporting Persons may change their intentions with respect to any and all matters referred to in this Item 4 at any time. The Reporting Persons may also take steps to explore and prepare for various plans and actions, and propose transactions, before forming an intention to engage in such plans or actions or proceed with such actions or transactions.
Other than as described above, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of each of the Reporting Persons, without independent verification, any of the persons listed in Schedules 1-7 hereto, currently has any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)(j) of Schedule 13D, although the Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto. As a result of these activities, one or more of the Reporting Persons may suggest or take a position with respect to potential changes in the operations, management or capital structure of the Issuer as a means of enhancing shareholder value. Such suggestions or positions may include one or more plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions required to be reported herein, including, without limitation, such matters as acquiring additional securities of the Issuer or disposing of securities of the Issuer; entering into an extraordinary corporate transaction such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; selling or transferring a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; changing the present Board or management of the Issuer, including changing the number or term of or replacing directors or filling any existing vacancies on the Board; materially changing the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; materially changing the Issuers business or corporate structure; changing the Issuers certificate of incorporation, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or taking other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an interdealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; causing a class of equity securities of the Issuer to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; and taking any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
Item 5. | Interests in Securities of the Issuer |
(a)-(b) See pages 2-9 of this Schedule 13D for the aggregate number and percentage of Common Shares beneficially owned by each Reporting Person, the number of Common Shares as to which there is sole or shared power to vote, or to direct the vote, and sole or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition. As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of 48,058,225 Common Shares represented by ADSs. Of the Common Shares beneficially owned, (i) 18,058,225 Common Shares, representing approximately 7.1% of the Issuers outstanding shares are held by Andean on the date hereof, and (ii) 30,000,000 Common Shares, represented by 30,000,000 ADSs underlying the CSP Transaction, representing approximately 11.8% of the Issuers outstanding shares, may be delivered to Andean subject to the completion of the CSP Transaction and potential reduction as a result of an early termination as described in Item 6 below. All percentages set forth in this Schedule 13D are based upon the Issuers reported 253,715,190 Common Shares outstanding as of March 31, 2023 as reported in the Issuers Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
CUSIP No. 204448104 | Page 12 of 22 |
(c) The responses to Item 3 and Item 4 of this Schedule 13D are incorporated by reference herein. On December 5, 2023, Andean acquired 5,626,181 Common Shares represented by ADSs in the open market at a weighted average price per ADS of $9.2832, with a range of prices per ADS from $8.9391 to $9.3000.
Other than as described above, none of the Reporting Persons have effected any transactions in the Issuers Common Shares or ADSs during the past 60 days.
(d) Not applicable.
(e) Not applicable.
Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer |
Andean entered into a contingent share purchase transaction (the CSP Transaction) with Dealer, obligating Dealer to deliver to Andean 30,000,000 ADSs (subject to reduction in the case of an early termination). In consideration, Andean agreed to pay the Dealer (1) the average price for the ADSs determined over the term of the CSP Transaction, subject to an agreed maximum cap price and an agreed minimum floor price (the Average Purchase Price), and (2) certain non-refundable fees. Andean prepaid to Dealer the maximum cap price for the ADSs (the Prepayment Amount) and the non-refundable fees. The term of the CSP Transaction over which the Average Purchase Price is determined may be truncated at Dealers discretion.
Dealers obligation to deliver (and Andeans right to acquire) the ADSs under the CSP Transaction was subject to a contingency outside the control of the parties until December 7, 2023. If the contingency was not satisfied, Dealer would have been obligated only to pay to Andean an amount equal to the Prepayment Amount and would not have been obligated to deliver (nor would Andean have had any right to acquire) any ADSs under the CSP Transaction.
Following completion of the term of the CSP Transaction (whether at scheduled final maturity or upon acceleration of maturity at Dealers discretion), Dealer will be obligated to (i) deliver 30,000,000 ADSs to Andean and (ii) to the extent the Prepayment Amount exceeds the Average Purchase Price, pay to Andean an amount equal to any such excess.
If the CSP Transaction terminates early due to certain specified events, Dealer will instead be obligated to deliver a pro-rated number of the 30,000,000 ADSs, determined based on the percentage of the scheduled CSP Transaction term then elapsed and, in that case, Dealer will be obligated to pay to Andean an amount equal to the excess of the Prepayment Amount over the product of the number of ADSs delivered and the Average Purchase Price calculated through the date of early termination.
The foregoing description of the CSP Transaction does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the CSP Transaction master confirmation, which is filed as Exhibit 2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships with respect to the securities of the Issuer among any of the Reporting Persons and any other person or entity.
The Reporting Persons are parties to an agreement with respect to the joint filing of this Schedule 13D and any amendments thereto. A copy of such agreement is attached as Exhibit 2 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 7. | Material to be Filed as Exhibits |

Re: Contingent Share Purchase Transaction
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This master confirmation (this Master Confirmation), dated as of June 6, 2023 is intended to set forth certain terms and provisions of certain Transactions (each, a Transaction) that may be entered into from time to time between <<<Dealer Name>>> and Andean LFMA Investment Limited (Counterparty). This Master Confirmation, taken alone, is neither a commitment by either party to enter into any Transaction nor evidence of a Transaction. The additional terms of any particular Transaction shall be set forth in a Supplemental Confirmation substantially in the form of Annex A hereto (a Supplemental Confirmation), which shall reference this Master Confirmation and supplement, form a part of, and be subject to this Master Confirmation. This Master Confirmation and each Supplemental Confirmation together shall constitute a Confirmation as referred to in the Agreement specified below.
The definitions and provisions contained in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the Equity Definitions), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are incorporated into this Master Confirmation. This Master Confirmation and each Supplemental Confirmation evidence a complete binding agreement between Counterparty and <<<Dealer Name>>> as to the subject matter and terms of each Transaction to which this Master Confirmation and such Supplemental Confirmation relate and shall supersede all prior or contemporaneous written or oral communications with respect thereto.
This Master Confirmation and a Supplemental Confirmation evidence a complete binding agreement between <<<Dealer Name>>> and Counterparty as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Master Confirmation and such Supplemental Confirmation relate. This Master Confirmation and each Supplemental Confirmation form a part of, and are subject to an agreement in the form of the ISDA 2002 Master Agreement, as published by ISDA, as if <<<Dealer Name>>> and Counterparty had executed that agreement on the date hereof (without any Schedule but with the modifications and elections set forth herein, the Agreement). All provisions contained in the Agreement govern this Master Confirmation and each Supplemental Confirmation except as expressly modified herein or in the related Supplemental Confirmation.
The Transactions shall be the sole transactions under the Agreement. If there exists any ISDA Master Agreement between <<<Dealer Name>>> and Counterparty or any confirmation or other agreement between <<<Dealer Name>>> and Counterparty pursuant to which an ISDA Master Agreement is deemed to exist between <<<Dealer Name>>> and Counterparty, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in such ISDA Master Agreement, such confirmation or agreement or any other agreement to which <<<Dealer Name>>> and Counterparty are parties, the Transactions shall not be considered Transactions under, or otherwise governed by, such existing or deemed ISDA Master Agreement.
All provisions contained or incorporated by reference in the Agreement shall govern this Master Confirmation and each Supplemental Confirmation except as expressly modified herein or in such Supplemental Confirmation.
1
THIS MASTER CONFIRMATION, EACH SUPPLEMENTAL CONFIRMATION AND THE AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO CHOICE OF LAW DOCTRINE. THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK IN CONNECTION WITH ALL MATTERS RELATING HERETO AND THERETO OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE IN, AND ANY CLAIM OF INCONVENIENT FORUM WITH RESPECT TO, THESE COURTS. NOTHING IN THIS PROVISION SHALL PROHIBIT EITHER PARTY FROM BRINGING AN ACTION TO ENFORCE A MONEY JUDGMENT IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
If, in relation to any Transaction to which this Master Confirmation and a Supplemental Confirmation relate, there is any inconsistency between the Agreement, this Master Confirmation, such Supplemental Confirmation and the Equity Definitions, the following will prevail for purposes of such Transaction in the order of precedence indicated: (i) such Supplemental Confirmation; (ii) this Master Confirmation; (iii) the Equity Definitions; and (iv) the Agreement.
1. Each Transaction constitutes a Share Forward Transaction for the purposes of the Equity Definitions. Set forth below are the terms and conditions that, together with the terms and conditions set forth in the Supplemental Confirmation relating to any Transaction, shall govern such Transaction.
General Terms:
Trade Date: | For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation. | |
Buyer: | Counterparty | |
Seller: | <<<Dealer Name>>> | |
Shares: | The American Depositary Shares of the Underlying Shares Issuer issued or deemed issued under the Deposit Agreement, each representing as of the date hereof one Underlying Share (Exchange symbol BVN). | |
Underlying Shares: | The common shares, nominal (par) value of ten Peruvian Soles per share, of the Underlying Shares Issuer, or security entitlements in respect thereof. | |
Underlying Shares Issuer: | Compañía de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. | |
Exchange: | New York Stock Exchange | |
Related Exchange(s): | All Exchanges |
Initial Payment and Delivery: |
Number of Shares: | For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation. | |

Prepayment Date: | For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation. | |
Cap Price: | For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation. | |
Floor Price: | For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation. | |
Additional Payment: | For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation. |
2
Valuation: |
Reference Price: | Subject to the provisions of Pricing Disruption below, for each Transaction, the amount equal to the arithmetic average of the VWAPs for all Exchange Business Days in the Pricing Period; provided that in the event Calculation Agent determines that a Disrupted Day during the Pricing Period is a Disrupted Day only in part, the Calculation Agent shall determine the Reference Price based on an appropriately weighted average instead of such arithmetic average with respect to such Disrupted Day; provided, further, that the Reference Price shall not exceed the Cap Price and shall not be lower than the Floor Price. | |
VWAP: | Subject to the provisions of Pricing Disruption below, for any Exchange Business Day, the volume-weighted average price per Share for the regular trading session on such Exchange Business Day, as set forth on Bloomberg Page BVN <equity> AQR <Go> (or any successor page thereto); provided that, if such price is not so reported for any reason or is manifestly erroneous, a price determined by the Calculation Agent in good faith and a commercially reasonable manner. | |
Pricing Period: | For each Transaction, the period commencing on the Pricing Period Commencement Date and ending on the Pricing Period Termination Date, subject to extension as provided herein. | |
Pricing Period | ||
Commencement Date: | For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation. | |
Pricing Period | ||
Termination Date: | For each Transaction, the Scheduled Termination Date; provided that <<<Dealer Name>>> shall have the right to designate any Exchange Business Day occurring on or following the First Optional Termination Date as the Pricing Period Termination Date for all of such Transaction by delivering notice to Counterparty (the Acceleration Notice) prior to 6:00 p.m. New York City time (which, for purposes of an Acceleration Notice and Section 12 of the Agreement, shall be deemed the close of business) on the Exchange Business Day immediately following such designated Exchange Business Day (the date such notice is effective, the Notice Delivery Date). | |
First Optional | ||
Termination Date: | For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation; provided that the First Optional Termination Date may be postponed by the Calculation Agent as provided in Pricing Disruption below. | |
Scheduled | ||
Termination Date: | For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation; provided that the Scheduled Termination Date may be postponed by the Calculation Agent as provided in Pricing Disruption below. | |
Pricing Disruption: | The definition of Market Disruption Event in Section 6.3(a) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by replacing the words at any time during the one-hour period that ends at the relevant Valuation Time, Latest Exercise Time, Knock-in Valuation Time or Knock-out Valuation Time with the words at any time on any Scheduled Trading Day that otherwise would be included in the Pricing Period and replacing the words (iii) an Early Closure with (iii) an Early Closure that the Calculation Agent determines is material or (iv) a Regulatory Disruption. |
3
Section 6.3(d) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the remainder of the provision following the term Scheduled Closing Time in the fourth line thereof. | ||
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, if a Disrupted Day occurs in the Pricing Period, the Calculation Agent may, in its good faith and commercially reasonable discretion, postpone each of the First Optional Termination Date and the Scheduled Termination Date. The Calculation Agent may also determine that (i) such Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day in full, in which case the VWAP for such Disrupted Day shall not be included for purposes of determining the Reference Price or (ii) such Disrupted Day is a Disrupted Day only in part, in which case the VWAP for such Disrupted Day shall be determined by the Calculation Agent based on transactions in the Shares on such Disrupted Day effected before the relevant Market Disruption Event occurred and/or after the relevant Market Disruption Event ended (in each case, as determined by the Calculation Agent), and the weighting of the VWAP for the relevant Exchange Business Days during the Pricing Period, as the case may be, shall be adjusted in a commercially reasonable manner by the Calculation Agent for purposes of determining the Reference Price with such adjustments based on, among other factors, the duration of any Market Disruption Event and the volume, historical trading patterns and price of the Shares. Any Scheduled Trading Day on which, as of the Trade Date, the Exchange is scheduled to close prior to its normal close of trading shall be deemed not to be a Scheduled Trading Day; if a closure of the Exchange prior to its normal close of trading on any Scheduled Trading Day is scheduled following the Trade Date, then such Scheduled Trading Day shall be deemed to be a Disrupted Day in full. | ||
If a Disrupted Day occurs during the Pricing Period for any Transaction, as the case may be, and each of the nine immediately following Scheduled Trading Days is a Disrupted Day (a Disruption Event), then the Calculation Agent, in its good faith and commercially reasonable discretion, may deem such ninth Scheduled Trading Day to be an Exchange Business Day that is not a Disrupted Day and determine the VWAP for such ninth Scheduled Trading Day using its good faith estimate of the value of the Shares on such ninth Scheduled Trading Day based on the volume, historical trading patterns and price of the Shares and such other factors as it deems appropriate. | ||
The Calculation Agent shall notify the parties of any determination made pursuant to the provisions of this Pricing Disruption no later than the Scheduled Trading Day following the relevant Disrupted Day. | ||
Early Closure: | The definition of Early Closure contained in Section 6.3(d) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by deleting the remainder of the provision following the term Scheduled Closing Time in the fourth line thereof. | |
Regulatory Disruption: | Any event that <<<Dealer Name>>>, in its reasonable discretion and upon the advice of legal counsel, determines makes it appropriate with regard to any legal, regulatory or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by <<<Dealer Name>>>, but provided that such policies or procedures are related to legal, regulatory or self-regulatory issues, |
4
have been adopted by <<<Dealer Name>>> in good faith and are generally applicable in similar situations and applied to all Transactions hereunder and similar transactions in a non-discriminatory manner), for <<<Dealer Name>>> to refrain from or decrease any market activity in connection with the relevant Transaction. Whenever a Regulatory Disruption occurs, <<<Dealer Name>>> shall notify Counterparty of such occurrence as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances and of any Exchange Business Day(s) in the Pricing Period affected by it; provided that <<<Dealer Name>>> shall not be required to communicate to Counterparty the reason for <<<Dealer Name>>>s exercise of its rights pursuant to this provision if <<<Dealer Name>>> reasonably determines in good faith that disclosing such reason may result in a violation of any legal, regulatory, or self-regulatory requirements or related policies and procedures (whether or not such requirements, policies or procedures are imposed by law or have been voluntarily adopted by <<<Dealer Name>>>, but provided that such policies or procedures are related to legal, regulatory or self-regulatory issues, have been adopted by <<<Dealer Name>>> in good faith and are generally applicable in similar situations and applied to all Transactions hereunder and similar transactions in a non-discriminatory manner). |

Settlement Method | ||
Election: | Not Applicable. | |
Settlement Method: | If Automatic Cash Settlement is applicable, Cash Settlement; otherwise Physical Settlement. | |
Automatic Cash | ||
Settlement: | Applicable if the VWAPs on each of any three consecutive Exchange Business Days during the Automatic Cash Settlement Period exceeds the Automatic Cash Settlement Threshold (such third consecutive Exchange Business Day during the Automatic Cash Settlement Period on which the VWAP exceeds the Automatic Cash Settlement Threshold, the Automatic Cash Settlement Event Date). | |
Automatic Cash | ||
Settlement Period: | For each Transaction, as set forth in the related Supplemental Confirmation. | |
Automatic Cash | ||

For the avoidance of doubt, any Shares deliverable by <<<Dealer Name>>> to Counterparty pursuant to this Master Confirmation or any Supplemental Confirmation, whether pursuant to Physical Settlement or otherwise, shall be delivered in book-entry form through the Clearance System in the form of beneficial interests in Shares. | |

Potential Adjustment Event: |
It shall constitute an additional Potential Adjustment Event if the Scheduled Termination Date for any Transaction is postponed pursuant to Pricing Disruption above, in which case the Calculation Agent shall, in its commercially reasonable discretion, adjust any relevant terms of such Transaction as necessary to preserve as nearly as practicable the fair value of such Transaction to the parties prior to such postponement. | |
In the case of a Dividend, the Calculation Agent shall, under Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions, adjust one or more variables relevant to the valuation, settlement, payment or other terms of the Transaction promptly following the date such Dividend is paid by the Issuer to holders of Shares, factoring in such Dividend (for the avoidance of doubt, determined on a net basis, subject to any applicable withholding or deduction for any taxes) on a delta-adjusted basis. | ||
Dividend: |

In the definition of New Shares in Section 12.1(i) of the Equity Definitions, (a) the text in clause (i) thereof shall be deleted in its entirety (including the word and following such clause (i)) and replaced with publicly quoted, traded or listed on any of the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors), and (b) the following phrase shall be inserted at the end thereof: and (iii) in the case of a Merger Event, of an entity or person that is a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia or the Republic of Peru. |

Consideration: | Not Applicable; provided that, notwithstanding Sections 12.1 and 12.5(b) of the Equity Definitions, to the extent that the composition of the consideration for the relevant Shares pursuant to a Tender Offer or Merger Event could be determined by a holder of the Shares, the Calculation Agent will determine such composition. | |||
Announcement Event: | If (i) an Announcement Date occurs in respect of any event or transaction that would, if consummated, lead to a Merger Event (for purposes of this and related provisions, the definition of Merger Event shall be read [***] without reference to the clause beginning immediately following the definition of Reverse Merger therein to the end of such definition), a Tender Offer, or other acquisition or disposition by the Underlying Shares Issuer and/or its subsidiaries where the aggregate consideration or value as of the Announcement Date exceeds $[***] (such other acquisition or disposition, a Significant Transaction) or (ii) [***] (the occurrence of (i) or (ii), an Announcement Event), as determined by the Calculation Agent, then the Consequences of Announcement Event set forth below shall apply in respect of such Announcement Event; provided that, the filing (including the content of such filing) by Counterparty of a Schedule 13D and of the UK Disclosure (as defined below) shall not be deemed to be an Announcement Event so long as the representations and warranties under Paragraphs (d), (m), (n) and (o) of Section 5 of this Master Confirmation are true and correct as of the date of such filing. For purposes of any Transaction, a Significant Transaction shall be an Extraordinary Event. |
7
Announcement Date: | The definition of Announcement Date in Section 12.1(l) of the Equity Definitions is hereby amended by (i) adding the words or a Significant Transaction immediately following the words Merger Event in the second and | |
third lines thereof, (ii) replacing the words a firm with the word any in the second and fourth lines thereof, (iii) replacing the word leads to the with the words would, if consummated, lead to a in the third and the fifth lines thereof, (iv) adding after the words voting shares in the fifth line thereof the words , voting power or Shares, (v) inserting the words by the Underlying Shares Issuer (or its Affiliate or agent) or any Valid Third Party Entity (or its Affiliate or agent) after the word announcement in the second and the fourth lines thereof and (vi) inserting the words , as determined by the Calculation Agent, or any subsequent public announcement by the Underlying Shares Issuer (or its Affiliate or agent) or any Valid Third Party Entity (or its Affiliate or agent), of a change to such transaction or intention (including, without limitation, a new announcement, whether or not by the same party, relating to such a transaction or intention or the announcement of a withdrawal from, or the abandonment or discontinuance of, such a transaction or intention) at the end of each of clauses (i) and (ii) thereof. | ||
Valid Third Party Entity: | In respect of any transaction, any third party (which may be Counterparty or its Affiliates) that will or is reasonably likely to enter into or consummate such transaction (it being understood and agreed that in determining whether such third party has met such standard, the Calculation Agent may take into consideration the effect of the relevant announcement by such third party on the Shares and/or options relating to the Shares). | |
Consequences of Announcement Event: | With respect to any Announcement Event, the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to determine the economic effect of such Announcement Event on the theoretical value of the Transaction due to any change in volatility, expected dividends, stock loan rate or liquidity relevant to the Shares or to the Transaction (i) on or a commercially reasonable period of time after the relevant Announcement Date or other date of announcement and (ii) on the Valuation Date or any earlier date of termination or cancellation for such Transaction and if, in the case of clause (i) or (ii), such economic effect is material, the Calculation Agent (x) shall be entitled to, on no more than two occasions, adjust the terms of such Transaction to reflect such economic effect on the parties with respect to the Transaction and determine the effective date of such adjustment or (y) if the Calculation Agent determines, on or a commercially reasonable period of time after the Announcement Date or other date of announcement, that no adjustment it could make under clause (x) above is likely to produce a commercially reasonable result, shall be entitled to notify the parties that the Transaction will be terminated, in which case the amount payable upon such termination will be determined by <<<Dealer Name>>> pursuant to the terms of this Master Confirmation as if such Announcement Event were an Extraordinary Event to which Cancellation and Payment were applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, any such adjustment shall be without prejudice to the application of the provisions set forth in the preceding sentence, Consequences of Merger Events and/or Consequences of Tender Offers with respect to any other Announcement Date in respect of the same event or transaction, or, if the related Merger Date or Tender Offer Date occurs on or prior to the Valuation Date or earlier date of termination for such Transaction, with respect to the related Merger Event or Tender Offer; provided that any such adjustment shall be taken into account by the Calculation Agent or the Determining Party, as the case may be, in determining any subsequent adjustment to the terms of the Transaction, or in subsequently determining any Cancellation Amount or an Early Termination Amount, as the case may be, on account of any related Announcement Date, Merger Event or Tender Offer. |
8
Nationalization, Insolvency or Delisting: | Cancellation and Payment; provided that, in addition to the provisions of Section 12.6(a)(iii) of the Equity Definitions, it shall also constitute a Delisting if the Exchange is located in the United States and the Shares are not immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any of the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Global Select Market or The NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors); if the Shares are immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any such exchange or quotation system, such exchange or quotation system shall thereafter be deemed to be the Exchange and the Calculation Agent shall make any adjustments it deems necessary to the terms of the Transaction, as if Calculation Agent Adjustment were applicable to such event. | |
Counterparty Adjustments | ||
Election: | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Equity Definitions, the Agreement or this Master Confirmation, prior to making any adjustment to a Transaction (the Subject Transaction), other than an Excluded Adjustment, pursuant to the terms of such Transaction in whatever capacity (including, without limitation, in its capacity as Calculation Agent, Hedging Party or Determining Party), <<<Dealer Name>>> shall, in such capacity, provide Counterparty with a written proposal (an Adjustment Proposal) describing, in reasonable detail, such adjustment (the Proposed <<<Dealer Name>>> Adjustment) (including any market data or information from internal sources used in arriving at such Proposed <<<Dealer Name>>> Adjustment, but without disclosing <<<Dealer Name>>>s models or information that is proprietary or that <<<Dealer Name>>> is subject to contractual, legal or regulatory obligations not to disclose).
