The Skill and Education System

admin | Posted on June 30, 2019 |

The education system adds more realism and immersion than traditional grinding game levelling systems. It is linked to history and adds value by actually teaching something. It gives a sense of accomplishment, as the history knowledge has a real value and connects the gamer to the period of the role playing world.

SHARE CERTIFICATES

Article 1

STAK DG is the sole beneficiary of the shares it acquired and is, with the exclusion of everyone else, entitled to exercise all rights associated to those shares, such as voting rights, rights to claims and rights to dividends, all subject to the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation of DG BV and/or the Articles of Incorporation of STAK DG, as they read now or in the future, and with due observance of these TCA.

Article 2

STAK DG will issue one share certificate for each share acquired.
The share certificates are registered and have the same nominal value and numbers as the underlying shares for which they have been issued.
No (physical) proof of certificate will be issued.
In the event of a reduction of the nominal value of the shares, the nominal value of the share certificates will be reduced accordingly.
There is no right to participate in meetings attached to certificates. However, we, STAK DG, have the intention to hold at least one meeting for share certificate holders each year.
A share certificate holder cannot encumber his or her share certificates.
A share certificate holder is obliged to fully comply with these TCA.

Article 3

STAK DG collects the dividends and all other distributions (such as repayment on shares) on the shares. After receipt of the dividend (or other distribution), STAK DG will transfer the amount due to the relevant share certificate holder within two (2) working days.
The rights of share certificate holders for the payment of dividends (or other distributions) will expire after five (5) years.
If a choice has to be made between a cash payment or other values (such as stock dividend), STAK DG will inform the share certificate holders in advance (at least two (2) weeks before the day on which the choice has be made). STAK DG will give the share certificate holders the possibility to make their own choice as much as possible. The choice needs to be made no later than the fifth (5th) working day before the distribution. If the choice of the certificate holder has not been made known to STAK DG five (5) working days before the day on which the choice needs to be made, STAK DG will decide as it deems in the best interest of the share certificate holder.
If the distribution as referred to in paragraph 1 of this article consists of shares of DG BV (for example stock dividends), the share certificate holder is not entitled to receive these shares. These shares will remain with STAK DG for the administration, against which the share certificate holder is entitled to an equal nominal amount of share certificates.
If, pursuant to Article 2: 216 (3) of the Dutch Civil Code, STAK DG is obliged to compensate for the deficit that has arisen due to a single distribution on shares, plus the statutory interest, the share certificate holders that are entitled to the corresponding share certificate receipts and have received a corresponding payment, have to repay an equal amount on the share certificates, corresponding to the relevant shares, to STAK DG. The above also applies to compensation for a shortfall in the sale of shares by STAK DG pursuant to Article 2: 207 paragraph 3 of the Dutch Civil Code.
Final payments on shares relating to the share certificates in the event of liquidation of DG BV, will be paid by STAK DG (no later than two (2) working days) to the share certificate holders against cancellation of the share certificates.

Article 4

If DG BV issues (new) shares, the Board of Directors decides whether the share certificate holders may utilize a pre-emptive right, if such a right is granted to the shareholders. The Board will make such decision as it deems in the best interest of all share certificate holders. If the Board decides that the share certificate holders may exercise the pre-emptive right, STAK DG will invite the share certificate holders to inform STAK DG, within the period set by STAK DG, whether STAK DG should use this pre-emptive right with regard to the shares that are administered for the share certificate holder concerned. At the same time, the share certificate holder needs to provide resources to STAK DG to pay the amount due to DG BV at registration (this concerns the issue price of the shares plus one percent (1%) of administration costs). The shares acquired are held by STAK DG for management, against which the share certificate holder is entitled to an equal nominal amount of share certificates.
In the event that STAK DG as a shareholder has a right to purchase shares pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation of DG BV, the Board of STAK DG decides whether the share certificate holders may use any right to purchase shares granted to the shareholders. The Board will decide as it deems in the best interest of the share certificate holders. If the Board of STAK DG decides that the share certificate holders may exercise the right to purchase shares, STAK DG will invite the share certificate holders accordingly and to inform STAK DG within a period set by STAK DG whether STAK DG must exercise this right with regard to the share certificates that are administered for the share certificate holder concerned. The holder of share certificates then simultaneously needs to make an amount, to be determined by STAK DG, available to STAK DG, which is sufficient to pay for the shares to be acquired (including one percent (1%) of administration costs). If the amount made available proves to be insufficient when the purchase price is determined, the share certificate holder will immediately complete the deficit. Any amount deposited in access will be returned to the share certificate holder without delay.
The provisions of paragraph 1 of this article apply mutatis mutandis to the granting of rights to subscribe for shares.

REGISTER OF SHARE CERTIFICATE HOLDERS

Article 5

The Board of Directors of STAK DG maintains a register that contains at least the names and (email) addresses of the share certificate holders and the numbers of the share certificates held.
The register is regularly kept up to date.
The share certificate holders are obliged to immediately notify STAK DG in writing of any change to the data entered in the register. STAK DG is obliged to register any changes to the register that it has been notified of.
Every entry in the register is done under a recorded date.
STAK DG is authorized at all times to renumber the certificates (and such).
All notifications and invitations to share certificate holders are done by using the registered (email) addresses.
The Board makes the register available at the STAK DG office for review by share certificate holders.
At the request of a share certificate holder, the Board will provide him/her with a free extract from the register insofar as his/her share certificates are concerned.

CERTIFICATES UNDIVIDEDLY

Article 6

If share certificates belong to a community (and/or undivided estate), each member is entitled to exercise the rights attached to the share certificates in proportion to his/her share in the community of certificates. The members can only be represented vis-à-vis STAK DG by one person to be designated in writing.

DISPOSAL AND ENCUMBERMENT OF SHARES (Tag-Along Right)

Article 7

STAK DG cannot pledge or otherwise encumber the shares it administers.
STAK DG is not authorized to dispose of one or more shares it administers, unless it concerns:
1. Disposal with the consent of the holder of the share certificate issued, against withdrawal of the share certificate and immediate payment (within two (2) working days) to the certificate holder of the proceeds received by STAK DG.
STAK DG is authorized (without the consent of the holders of share certificates) to dispose of all the shares it holds under title to management, if:
1. It is obliged to do so on the basis of the shareholder agreement concluded between the shareholders of DG BV (hereinafter also to be named: Shareholder Agreement); and/or
2. All other shareholders of the company simultaneously dispose of the shares they hold, provided that the proceeds received by STAK DG immediately or later (including payment of an escrow amount), will be transferred immediately (within two (2) working days) after receipt to the share certificate holders, in which case the share certificates will be cancelled.
In the event that, under the Shareholder Agreement, STAK DG has a Tag-Along Right, as defined below, STAK DG informs the share certificate holders within one (1) week after notification of the Tag-Along Right in writing, together with the opportunity to make use of the Tag-along Right, to dispose share certificates in a similar manner as described in the following paragraphs, and confirm this ultimately five (5) working days before the day on which STAK DG must have made use of its Tag-Along Right. STAK DG will indicate the number of shares for which the Tag-Along Right can be exercised and the further conditions on the basis which the underlying shares can be disposed of.
A Tag-Along Right means: if one shareholder (or group of shareholders) of DG BV wishes to dispose of shares in the capital of DG BV and sell to a third party, then according to the Shareholder Agreement, any of the other shareholders of DG BV will be able to dispose of a proportional share of the shares he/she holds and sell to that third party (that is, each shareholder is entitled to dispose the same percentage of shares he/she holds in the capital of DG BV, against the same price and under the same conditions).
If share certificate holders have timely confirmed in writing that they want to make use of their Tag-Along Right as referred to in paragraph 5, then STAK DG will, to the extent possible, make use of its Tag-Along Right for the benefit of the relevant share certificate holders.

TRANSFER AND CONDITIONS REGARDING CERTIFICATES

Article 8

The share certificates are freely transferable unless additional conditions have been imposed by the Board to the share certificate holder when acquiring the share certificates, with regard to the transfer of the share certificates (including, but not limited to, transfer restrictions, mandatory offering arrangements, lock-up arrangements and valuation arrangements).
The conditions as referred to in the previous paragraph:
- Can differ per share certificate and/or per share certificate holder;
- Form an integral part of these TCA insofar as it concerns the share certificates concerned; and
- Can be cancelled, changed and/or adjusted in accordance with the relevant applicable conditions.
The transfer of share certificates can be effected either by notarial deed or by private/authentic deed. The transfer must always be communicated to STAK DG by the transferor and/or the transferee.
The provisions of paragraph 1 also apply with regard to the allocation of share certificates upon division of a community.
The transfer will only have an impact on STAK DG after STAK DG has been notified thereof.

COSTS

Article 9

STAK DG will charge costs for the certification, management and administration of shares to DG BV. STAK DG does not charge share certificate holders (additional) costs other than the one percent (1%) costs upon both buying and selling the share certificates.

Article 10

The voting rights and all other controlling rights attached to the shares are exercised by STAK DG at its own discretion, taking into account the provisions of the Law, the Articles of Incorporation of STAK DG and these TCA.

For the sake of completeness, a change in the TCA can only be made by unanimous vote in a meeting of the STAK DG Board of Directors, in which all Board Members are present or represented. If not all Members of the Board are present or represented in a Board Meeting in which a proposal to change the TCA is on the agenda, then a second meeting will be convened, to be held within fourteen (14) days after the first, in which, regardless of the number of Board Members present, a valid decision will be made by unanimous vote. Similarly, it can be decided to fully or partially cancel share certificates issued by STAK DG or to dissolve STAK DG. Upon dissolution of STAK DG, all underlying shares will be transferred to the holders of the corresponding share certificates.

TAX IMPACT

Article 17

Each holder of share certificates is deemed, by obtaining these share certificates (whether or not upon issue), to declare towards STAK DG, the Board and DG BV to be aware of the possible tax consequences of his/her participation in the capital of DG BV through the share certificates and/or exercising his/her rights therefrom. STAK DG and the Board bear no responsibility towards the share certificate holders in this regard.
Insofar as taxes and/or social security contributions are due by STAK DG with regard to acquiring the share certificates by share certificate holders, STAK DG can recover these taxes and/or premiums from the share certificate holder concerned.
