AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION

      THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF REORGANIZATION (the “ Agreement ”) is made as of this 26th day of April, 2007 by and among (i) Lululemon Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), (ii) Lululemon Athletica USA, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“ USA ”), (iii) Lululemon Athletica Inc., a company formed under the laws of British Columbia (“ LAI ”), (iv) LIPO Investments (USA), Inc., a company formed under the laws of British Columbia (“ LIPO USA ”), (v) LIPO Investments (Canada), Inc., a company formed under the laws of British Columbia (“ LIPO Canada ”), (vi) Lulu Canadian Holding, Inc., a company formed under the laws of British Columbia (“ Canadian Holding ”), (vii) each of the parties whose name appears on Schedule I hereto (each, an “ Investor ”), and (viii) each of the parties whose name appears on Schedule II hereto (each, a “ LIPO Holder ”). Capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings set forth in Article 10.

BACKGROUND

     The Company’s Board of Directors (the “ Board ”) has reviewed the ownership and distribution of the authorized capital stock of the Company and its subsidiaries. In particular, the Board has considered the authorized and outstanding capital structure of the Company, USA and LAI, which as of the date of this Agreement, is comprised of the following:

 

 

108,495 shares of Series A Participating Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “ Company Series A Preferred Stock ”), stated value US$859.11 per share;

 

 

 

 

 

 

116,994 shares of Series TS Participating Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “ Company Series TS Preferred Stock ”), stated value US$10.281 per share;

 

 

 

 

 

 

222,296 shares of Participating Preferred Stock of USA (the “ USA Participating Preferred Stock ”), stated value US$10.405 per share;

 

 

 

 

 

 

10,000 shares of Non-Participating Preferred Stock of USA (“ USA Non-Participating Preferred Stock ”), stated value per share US$1.00 per share;

 

 

 

 

 

 

options to purchase an aggregate of 1,897,000 shares of common stock of USA, par value US$.001 per share (the “ USA Common Stock ”) at an exercise price of US$0.21 per share;

 

 

 

 

 

 

106,702 Class A Shares of LAI, no par value (the “ LAI Class A Shares ”), reference amount US$859.11 per share;

 

 

 

 

 

 

115,594 Class B Shares of LAI, no par value (the “ LAI Class B Shares ”), reference amount US$859.11 per share;

 

 

 

 

 

 

options to acquire an aggregate of 1,897,000 Class C Shares of LAI, no par value (“ LAI Class C Shares ”), at an exercise price of US$1.18 per share.

     Each of the Company Series A Preferred Stock, Company Series TS Preferred Stock, LAI Class A Share and LAI Class B Share accrues dividends at a rate of 8% per annum, compounded quarterly.

 


 

     The Company directly owns 100% of the USA Participating Preferred Stock and the Institutional Investors and LIPO USA own 48% and 52%, respectively, of the USA Non-Participating Preferred Stock. The Company indirectly owns all of the issued and outstanding LAI Class A Shares and LIPO Canada owns all of the issued and outstanding LAI Class B Shares. The outstanding LAI Class A Shares and LIPO Class B Shares represent 48% and 52%, respectively, of the equity interests in LAI.

     LIPO Canada and LIPO USA (collectively, the “LIPO Entities”) are companies that are controlled by Dennis Wilson. Substantially all of the assets of LIPO Canada and LIPO USA consists of their holdings in LAI and USA, respectively. As of the date of this Agreement, (i) LIPO Canada’s outstanding capitalization is comprised of 117,000,362 common shares, no par value (“ LIPO Canada Common Shares ”), of which 2,344,917 shares are designated as “forfeitable,” and options to purchase an aggregate of 10,476,250 LIPO Canada Common Shares (“ LIPO Canada Options ”), at an exercise price of $0.99 per share, and (ii) LIPO USA’s outstanding capitalization is comprised of 117,000,362 common shares, no par value (“ LIPO USA Common Shares ”), of which 2,344,917 shares are designated as “forfeitable”, and options to purchase an aggregate of 10,476,250 LIPO USA Common Shares (“ LIPO USA Options ”), at an exercise price of $0.01 per share.

     The Board and, by execution of this Agreement, the Investors have determined to effect a firm commitment initial public offering (the “ Offering ”) of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value US$0.01 per share (the “ Company Common Stock ”) pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “ Securities Act ”) filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) on Form S-1. In furtherance thereof, the Board has approved the offering of Company Common Stock in the U.S. and Canada. Regardless of the amount of gross proceeds received by the Company in the Offering, the Board and the Investors desire to have the proposed Offering be deemed a “Qualified IPO” for purposes of the Company’s Stockholders Agreement, dated December 5, 2005 (the “ Company Stockholders Agreement ”).

     Based on the foregoing, the Company and the Board have determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to effect a reorganization of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “ Reorganization ”). In furtherance thereof, each of the parties hereto has agreed to the completion of the Reorganization and to take such actions as may be requested by the Board to complete the Reorganization immediately after an underwriting agreement for the Offering has been executed by the Company and the underwriters participating in the Offering (the “ Reorganization Effective Time ”). The current outstanding equity of the Company, USA and LAI in the aggregate is owned 48% by the Investors and 52% by the LIPO Entities. Immediately after completion of the Reorganization, the Investors and the LIPO Entities will hold the same relative ownership percentages in the Company on a consolidated basis.

     In connection with the Reorganization, Canadian Holding will amend its articles of incorporation substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ Amended Canadian Holding Charter ”) to designate a new class of shares (the “ Exchangeable Shares ”) having the rights, preferences and privileges set forth in the exchangeable shares provision attached to the Plan of Arrangement (as defined below) and contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Company, Canadian Holding, LIPO USA and LIPO Canada entered into an arrangement agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “ Arrangement Agreement ”), attached to which is a plan of arrangement (the “ Plan of Arrangement ”) setting out certain steps of the reorganization then affecting Canadian Holding and the LIPO Entities. Each Exchangeable Share may, in accordance with its terms and the terms of the Exchange Trust Agreement (as defined below) and the Plan of Arrangement, be exchanged by the holder thereof for one share of Company Common Stock. At the Reorganization Effective Time, the Company, Canadian Holding and Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the “ Exchangeable Shares Trustee ”)

-2-


 

will enter into an exchange trust agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (the “ Exchange Trust Agreement ”) under which the Exchangeable Shares Trustee will be granted certain rights and will agree to certain obligations for the benefit of the holders of Exchangeable Shares. In addition, the Company, Canadian Holding and Lululemon Callco ULC, an Alberta unlimited liability company which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“ Callco ”), will enter into a support agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto (the “ Exchangeable Share Support Agreement ”) pursuant to which the Company will agree to support the obligations of Canadian Holding and Callco.

     The following events will occur in the sequence set forth in Article 1:

 

(A)

 

Each vested option to acquire LIPO Canada Common Shares will be exercised. Thereafter, each holder of LIPO Canada common shares (each, a “ LIPO Canada Holder ”) will exchange its LIPO Canada Common Shares for either, or a combination of, shares of Company Common Stock or Exchangeable Shares, and each remaining option to acquire LIPO Canada Common Shares will automatically be exchanged for an option to acquire LIPO USA Common Shares, in each case, in the manner more particularly provided in the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement. The aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock and Exchangeable Shares to be issued in exchange for LIPO Canada Common Shares will be equal to LIPO Canada’s pro rata portion of the LIPO Share Amount and each holder of LIPO Canada Common Shares will receive its pro rata portion of such aggregate number.

 

 

 

 

 

(B)

 

LIPO USA, with respect to its shares of Company Series TS Preferred, will receive shares of Company Common Stock that are equal to its pro rata portion of the LIPO Share Amount.

 

 

 

 

 

(C)

 

Each holder of shares of Company Series A Preferred Stock will receive: (i) its pro rata portion of the Common Share Amount, and (ii) a number of shares of Company Common Stock that is equal to the Investment Value, as of the Reorganization Effective Time, of such Company Series A Preferred Stock, divided by the IPO Price.

 

 

 

 

 

(D)

 

USA will purchase all outstanding shares of USA Non-Participating Preferred Stock for a purchase price equal to the Investment Value of such stock, payable in cash.

 

 

 

 

 

(E)

 

Each holder of Exchangeable Shares will purchase from the Company a number of shares of a special class of voting stock of the Company (the “ Special Voting Shares ”) that is equal to the number of Exchangeable Shares issued to such holder at the Reorganization Effective Time.

 

 

 

 

 

(F)

 

Each option to purchase a share of USA Common Stock then outstanding shall become an option to purchase an adjusted number of shares of Company Common Stock at an adjusted exercise price, as more particularly set forth herein.

 

 

 

 

 

(G)

 

Each option to purchase a LAI Class C Share then outstanding shall become an option to purchase an adjusted number of shares of Company Common Stock at an adjusted exercise price, as more particularly set forth herein.

(H)

 

The Company will contribute any shares of Canadian Holding that it may hold in connection with the Reorganization to Callco.

     In connection with the Reorganization, the Participating Holders have executed and delivered the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement in the form of Exhibit E hereto (the “ Restated Registration Rights Agreement ”) to the Company to be held in escrow and released upon completion of the Reorganization. The Restated Registration Rights Agreement shall become effective upon and shall supersede the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of December 5, 2005, by and among the Company, the Institutional Investors, LIPO USA and LIPO Canada (the “ Original Registration Rights Agreement ”) as of the Reorganization Effective Time.

     The Company will amend and restate the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “ Original Certificate of Incorporation ”) in the form of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “ Step One Charter ”) to effect certain provisions of the Reorganization, to designate the special class of voting stock.

     Prior to the closing of the Offering (the “ Closing ”), the Company will amend and restate the Step One Charter in the form of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation attached hereto as Exhibit G (the “ Step Two Charter ”).

     Each of the foregoing actions was approved by the Board at a duly convened meeting on April 26, 2007 and the Board has unanimously recommended that the Company’s stockholders approve and adopt this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. On or prior to the date of this Agreement, the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the votes represented by the outstanding Company Series A Preferred Stock, Company Series B Preferred Stock and Company Series TS Preferred Stock, voting as a single class (the “ Preferred Supermajority ”), will have approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the covenants, promises and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Article 1

          (a) Company Preferred Stock . Upon the Reorganization Effective Time and as part of the Reorganization, the following transactions shall occur:

-4-


 

               (i) Company Series A Preferred Stock . Each issued and outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock will be exchanged for a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the sum of (A) the product of ( x ) the Investment Value of such share of Company Series A Preferred Stock, as of the Reorganization Effective Time, divided by the Total Investment Value, ( y ) multiplied by the Common Share Amount, and (B) the quotient of the Investment Value of such Company Series A Preferred Stock, as of the Reorganization Effective Time, divided by the IPO Price.

               (ii) Company Series TS Preferred Stock . Each issued and outstanding share of Company Series TS Preferred Stock will be exchanged for a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of ( x ) the quotient of the Investment Value of such share of Company Series TS Preferred Stock, as of the Effective Time, divided by the aggregate Investment Value of all outstanding Company Series TS Preferred Stock as of the Reorganization Effective Time, multiplied by ( y ) the product of the USA Percentage multiplied by the LIPO Share Amount.

          (b) USA Non-Participating Preferred Stock . Upon the Reorganization Effective Time and as part of the Reorganization, but after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by Section 1.1(a), USA will repurchase each issued and outstanding share of USA Non-Participating Preferred Stock from the holders thereof for a per share purchase price equal to the Investment Value of such share.

     1.2. Reorganization of LIPO Canada.

          (a) Five minutes following completion of the transactions contemplated by Section 1.1, LIPO Canada, LIPO USA and Canadian Holding shall cause the terms of the Plan of Arrangement to be consummated in the order provided therein. In accordance with the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, LIPO Canada Holders will exchange their LIPO Canada common shares in exchange for either, or a combination of, shares of Company Common Stock and Exchangeable Shares. The aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock and Exchangeable Shares that may be issued under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement will be equal to the product of the LAI Percentage multiplied by the LIPO Share Amount. Of the foregoing total number of shares, (i) Slinky Financial ULC (“ Slinky ”), an Alberta unlimited company controlled by Mr. Wilson, will receive a number of shares of Company Common Stock that is equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock that is set forth for Mr. Wilson or Slinky in the final prospectus for the Offering, and (ii) the remainder will be issued as Exchangeable Shares to the LIPO Canada Holders with respect to all other LIPO Canada shares then outstanding, in proportion to their relative ownership of LIPO Canada Common Shares.

          (b) Contemporaneously with the transactions contemplated by Section 1.2(a), as provided in the Arrangement Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, each holder of Exchangeable Shares shall purchase a number of Special Voting Shares that is equal to the number of Exchangeable Shares issued to such holder at the Reorganization Effective Time.

     1.3. Lululemon Callco ULC. Any time prior to the amalgamation contemplated by Section 1.5, the Company will contribute the shares of Canadian Holding it holds to Callco. The authorized capital of Callco will consist of redeemable preferred shares and common shares having such rights, designations and preferences and issued in such amount and purchase prices as shall be determined by the Board and the board of directors of Callco.

     1.4. Option Exchanges. Five minutes following the completion of the transactions contemplated by Section 1.2,

          (a) each option to purchase shares of USA Common Stock then outstanding shall be exchanged for an option to purchase a number shares of Company Common Stock equal to the number of shares of USA Common Stock set forth in the option agreement governing such option multiplied by the USA Percentage, at an adjusted exercise price equal to the exercise price set forth in such option agreement, divided by the USA Percentage, and the parties hereby determine that (i) the fair market value of the shares of Company Common Stock underlying such new option minus the aggregate exercise price under such new option does not exceed (ii) the fair market value of the shares of USA Common Stock underlying the options to purchase shares of USA Common Stock immediately before the exchange, minus the aggregate exercise price under such exchanged option to purchase USA Common Stock; and

          (b) each option to purchase LAI Class C Shares then outstanding shall be exchanged for an option to purchase a number shares of Company Common Stock equal to the number of LAI Class C Shares set forth in the option agreement governing such option multiplied by the LAI Percentage, at an adjusted exercise price equal to the exercise price set forth in such option agreement, divided by the LAI Percentage, and the parties hereby determine that (i) the fair market value of the shares of Company Common Stock underlying such new option minus the aggregate exercise price under such new option does not exceed (ii) the fair market value of the LAI Class C Shares underlying the options to purchase LAI Class C Shares immediately before the exchange, minus the aggregate exercise price under such exchanged option to purchase LAI Class C Shares.

The following is an example of the foregoing option share amount and exercise price adjustments. This example is provided for illustration purposes only. Assume that a hypothetical holder holds an option to acquire 5,000 shares of USA Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.21 per share and an option to acquire 5,000 LAI Class C Shares at an exercise price of $1.18 per share and that the USA Percentage and LAI Percentage is 15% and 85%, respectively. Based on the foregoing, upon completion of the Reorganization, (a) the option to acquire 5,000 shares of USA Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.21 per share would become an option to acquire 750 shares of Company Common Stock (i.e., 5,000 x 0.15) at an adjusted exercise price of $1.40 (i.e., $0.21 / 0.15), and (b) the option to acquire 5,000 LAI Class C Shares at an exercise price of $1.18 per share would become an option to acquire 4,250 shares of Company Common Stock (i.e., 5,000 x 0.85) at an adjusted exercise price of $1.39 (i.e., $1.18 / 0.85, or $1.39).

          (c) The Company, LAI and USA will use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the written acknowledgement of all holders of options to purchase shares of USA Common Stock and all holders of options to purchase LAI Class C Shares, pursuant to which such holders acknowledge that at the Reorganization Effective Time, pursuant to this Agreement and the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan of the Company, such holders’ options to purchase shares of USA Common Stock and options to purchase LAI Class C Shares will be exchanged for options to purchase shares of Company Common Stock in the manner described in this Section 1.4, without any further act or formality on the part of such holders.

-6-


 

     1.5. Amalgamation. Five minutes following the completion of the transactions contemplated by Section 1.4, Canadian Holding and LIPO Canada will be amalgamated pursuant to Sections 273 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The amalgamation contemplated by this Section 1.5 shall be completed prior to the IPO Closing.

     1.6. Allocation of Assets. The portion of the Company’s total fair market value that is attributable to the fair market value of USA (the “ USA Percentage ”), and the portion of the Company’s total fair market value that is attributable to the fair market value of LAI (the “ LAI Percentage ”), will each be expressed as a percentage, with the sum of the two adding to 100%. As soon as reasonably practicable after the execution of this Agreement, the Company will allocate the relative contribution to the Company’s total fair market value by USA and LAI. Any determination of such allocation will be made by the Board, in its discretion, in consultation with and on information provided by, the Company’s employees and advisors. The parties hereto agree that this Section 1.5 does not impose any obligation on the Company, USA or LAI to obtain a valuation report with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or either of the LIPO Entities.

     1.7. Fractional Shares. In the event that a fractional number of shares of capital stock is issuable as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by Sections 1.1 or 1.2, such fractional number shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. Any rounding required in respect of the transactions undertaken in Section 1.3 shall be effected to preserve the deferred exchange contemplated by subsection 7(1.4) of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

     1.8. Adjustments. The class and number of any shares referred to in this Agreement will be adjusted equitably (without duplication) for any change in the class of or any increase or decrease in the number of outstanding shares resulting from stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, consolidations, mergers, reclassifications, recapitalizations or other similar transactions that take place after the date hereof and prior to the Closing. Any adjustments required in respect of the transactions undertaken in Section 1.3 shall be effected to preserve the deferred exchange contemplated by subsection 7(1.4) of the Income Tax Act (Canada).

     1.9. Deliveries. At least three (3) business days prior to the Reorganization Effective Time, each Investor, Slinky and Mr. Wilson, in his individual capacity and in his capacity as trustee of the other LIPO Canada Holders, shall deliver to the Company and Canadian Holding stock certificates representing the capital stock tendered by such Investor, Slinky or Mr. Wilson, as the case may be, pursuant to Sections 1.1 and 1.2, along with duly endorsed stock powers, if required. At the Reorganization Effective Time, the Company and Canadian Holding shall issue to each Person whose certificates have been tendered certificates evidencing the number of shares of Company Common Stock and Exchangeable Shares held of record by such Person after giving effect to the Reorganization and the Stock Split.

     1.10. Failure to Deliver Shares. If a holder of shares of capital stock of the Company, LAI, USA or LIPO Canada (the “ Transferring Holder ”) fails to deliver its shares of capital stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, each of the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries may, at its option, in addition to all other remedies it may have, send to the Transferring Holder the stock certificates for the shares of capital stock for which such Transferring Holder is entitled to pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and cancel on its books the stock certificate(s) representing such shares of capital stock. The Transferring Holder failing to deliver share certificates in accordance with this Agreement shall reimburse the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with the enforcement of obligations under this Agreement or utilizing the remedies set forth in this Section 1.10.

-7-


 

     1.11. Closing. In the event the Closing does not occur, the parties hereto agree to cooperate and work in good faith to execute and deliver such agreements and consents and amend such documents as may be necessary to re-establish the rights, preferences and privileges that the holders of capital stock and options in the Company, LAI, USA, LIPO Canada and LIPO USA had prior to the consummation of the Reorganization, taking into consideration applicable tax rules and regulations and all other relevant factors that the parties hereto may determine in light of current facts and circumstances.
