7. ALTERNATIVE REGIME OF TRANSFER AND HEADER OF SHARES
Through a special agreement between Siamosoci and Directa S.I.M S.p.a. with registered office in Turin, Via Buozzi no. 5, tax code and number of registration with the Register of Companies 06837440012, a securities brokerage company authorized to provide the services of i) receipt and transmission of orders, ii) placement without irrevocable commitment to the Issuer, iii) execution of orders on behalf of Clients concerning financial instruments and iv) investment advice (hereinafter, also "Directa SIM"), the Investor is given the opportunity to take advantage of the alternative regime of header and transfer of shares, as per art. 100-ter, co. 2-bis, of the TUF (the "Alternative Regime") under the terms and conditions set forth below.
The Alternative Regime, applicable only to offers of units of limited liability companies, allows Investors to make the header of the units subscribed on the Mamacrowd portal through Directa SIM which, therefore, will proceed to the header of the units in its own name and on behalf of the Investor (performing the so-called "Rubrication Service") by opening a special account with Directa SIM in the name of the investor who adheres to the Alternative Regime (the "SIM Account")
Adherence to the Alternative Regime entails a derogation from the ordinary regime set forth in Article 2470, Paragraph 2, of the Civil Code and Article 37, Paragraph 1-bis, of DL. 112/2008 (the "Ordinary Regime").
and is subject to a specific option by the Investor.
In case of adherence to the Alternative Regime, the subscription of the Units by the Investor will be made, in case of success of the Offer, through Directa SIM; the alienation of the Units by the Investor or the subsequent purchaser (provided that the latter also has an account with Directa SIM) will take place by simple annotation of the transfer in the registers kept by the intermediary without costs or charges for the purchaser and/or the alienator.
This is without prejudice, in the case of both Paid and Free Membership, to the investor's right to request, at any time thereafter, the registration of the units in his or her own name: the Investor may at any time request the application of the Ordinary Regime of registration in lieu of the Alternative Regime, by requesting Directa SIM (www.directa.it; e-mail address: directa@directa.it) to make direct registration of the units in the name of the Investor himself or herself
In this hypothesis, Directa SIM will not charge any cost to the Investor but the latter will have to bear any disbursements due to the professional figures that may intervene in the ordinary header procedure (notary and/or accountant) as well as the related administrative charges not specifically borne by the Offeror where due (stamp duty, fees, etc.).
Joining the Alternative Regime implies acceptance of these Terms and Conditions of Mamacrowd, of the particular Terms and Conditions of the Rubrication Service(available here) and of the conditions applied by Directa SIM, made available to the Investor during the joining procedure.
Condition precedent
Adherence to the Alternative Regime, whether in the case of Paid Membership or Free Membership, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Directa SIM's Terms and Conditions, is subject to the Investor's proper identification for anti-money laundering purposes by Directa SIM and, more generally, to the completion of the activation procedure of the Rubrication service prepared by Directa SIM as well as the acceptance of these Terms and Conditions of Mamacrowd, of the Particular Terms and Conditions of the Rubrication service(available here) and of the conditions applied by Directa SIM, made available to the Investor during the membership procedure.
If the aforementioned conditions precedent are not met, adhesion to the Alternative Regime will be deemed not to have taken place, with the consequence that if the Offer is successful (and there is no "overfunding") the Investor will be subject to the Ordinary Regime.
Cost of the Rubrication Service
The Rubrication Service is performed by Directa Sim against payment of a fee structured as follows :
1) at the time of SIM Account opening, shall be paid to Directa SIM (the "SIM Account Opening Cost"):
● a sum equal to euro 15.00 (fifteen/00), if a natural person;
● an amount equal to euro 80.00 (eighty/00), if legal person.
These amounts are not reimbursable in the event that the Offer, which the Investor has joined with Alternative Regime, is not successfully concluded or in the event that there is an exclusion of the Investment as a result of the occurrence of an "overfunding" situation. Such amounts will not, however, be due by the Investor where he/she already has a SIM Account opened with Directa SIM).
2) Once the SIM Account has been activated, for each Investment on a successful bid (except in the case of exclusion due to 'overfunding'), the Investor, whether an individual or a legal person, shall pay to Directa SIM the amount of euro 30.00 (the "Bid Rubrication Cost"). This amount is payable by the Investor only in the event that the Offer is successfully concluded.
3) For the issuance of the certificate proving the ownership of the Units (the "Header Certificate"), the Investor shall pay to Directa SIM an amount equal to euro 5.00 (five/00) (the "Issuance Cost of the Header Certificate"). This amount is not due in the case of the first issuance of the certificate to the Investor, which is intended to be free of charge.
Payment of the above amounts will be made by withdrawal of the relevant amounts from the SIM Account, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Directa SIM's General Terms and Conditions of Service.
The Cost of the Rubrication Service shall be borne by the Investor who intends to use it (the so-called "PaidRubrication") , unless the Provider has decided to incur it himself instead of the Investor (the so-called "Free Rubrication").
In the case of Paid Rub rication the Investor , is required to ensure that the SIM Account has the necessary funds in it to cover the costs of joining the Alternative Scheme. In the absence of funds, Directa SIM may not accept the Investor's application to join the Alternative Scheme.
In case of Free Rubrication , the Cost of the Rubrication Service related to the adherence to the specific Offer will be borne by the Offeror, according to the agreements concluded from time to time with Directa SIM; the Investor, therefore, will not have to pay anything.
In particular, in case of Free Rubrication , the Offeror will provide for the payment of:
a) the SIM Account Opening Cost in the event that Investors are without a SIM Account (This amount is not refundable in the event that the Offer that provides for the Free Rubrication is not successfully concluded or in the event that there is an exclusion of the investment due to the occurrence of an 'overfunding' situation: in this case, the SIM Account remains open in the name of the investor who will be able to freely dispose of it for future accessions to other offers);
b) The Offer Rubrication Fee related to all investors already holding SIM Accounts (This amount is payable by the Offeror only in the event that the Offer is successfully concluded).
c) The first issuance of the certification proving the ownership of the units (the Certificate of Intestacy), which is necessary as a qualification for the exercise of corporate rights, is free of charge.
Subsequent applications for Certificates of Intestacy are subject to a fee of EUR 5.00 per certificate to be paid by the investor.
Conversion to the Ordinary Regime
Subscription to the Alternative Regime is always reversible: the Investor may at any time request to revert to the Ordinary Regime of Header in place of the Alternative Regime by asking Directa SIM (www.directa.it; e-mail address: directa@directa.it) to make direct header of the units in the name of the Investor himself.
In this hypothesis, Directa SIM will not charge any cost to the Investor but the latter will have to bear any disbursements due to the professional figures that may intervene in the ordinary header procedure (notary and/or accountant) as well as the related administrative charges not specifically borne by the Offeror, where due (stamp duty, fees, etc.). These charges depend on the professional fees in force or the agreements made directly with the respective professionals..
