Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Business Combination Agreement

 

On March 31, 2021, Union Acquisition Corp. II (the “Registrant” or “SPAC”), Crynssen Pharma Group Limited, a private limited liability company registered and incorporated under the laws of Malta (the “Company”), Procaps Group, S.A., a public limited liability company (société anonyme) governed by the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (“Holdco”) and OZLEM Limited, an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“Merger Sub”) entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”).

 

The Business Combination

 

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, (i) Merger Sub will merge with and into SPAC, with SPAC surviving such merger and becoming a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco (the “Merger”) and, in the context of the Merger, (a) all ordinary shares of SPAC, par value $0.0001 per share (“SPAC Ordinary Shares”) outstanding will be exchanged with Holdco for the right to receive ordinary shares of Holdco, nominal value $0.01 per share (“Holdco Ordinary Shares”) pursuant to a share capital increase of Holdco, (b) the SPAC Warrants will become warrants of Holdco (“Holdco Warrants”) exercisable for Holdco Ordinary Shares, on substantially the same terms as the SPAC Warrants and (c) Holdco shall enter into an Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement with SPAC and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, as warrant agent, to amend and assume SPAC’s obligations under the existing Warrant Agreement, dated October 17, 2019, to give effect to the conversion of SPAC Warrants to Holdco Warrants; (ii) immediately following consummation of the Merger and pursuant to those certain individual Contribution and Exchange Agreements, each dated as of March 31, 2021, and entered into by and among Holdco, the Company and each of the shareholders of the Company (the “Company Shareholders”) (collectively, the “Exchange Agreements”), each of the Company Shareholders, effective on the Closing Date immediately following the Merger (the “Exchange Effective Time”) will contribute its respective ordinary shares of the Company, nominal value $1.00 per share (“Company Ordinary Shares”) to Holdco in exchange for Holdco Ordinary Shares, and, in the case of the International Finance Corporation (“IFC”), for Holdco Ordinary Shares and redeemable B shares of Holdco (the “Holdco Redeemable B Shares”), to be subscribed for by each such Company Shareholder (such contributions and exchanges of Company Ordinary Shares for Holdco Ordinary Shares and, with respect to IFC, Holdco Ordinary Shares and Holdco Redeemable B Shares, collectively, the “Exchange”) and Holdco will, simultaneously with the Exchange, redeem all redeemable A shares of Holdco (the “Holdco Redeemable A Shares” and together with the Holdco Ordinary Shares and Holdco Redeemable B Shares, the “Holdco Shares”) held by the Company as a result of its incorporation; (iii) as a result of the Exchange, the Company will become a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdco and the Company Shareholders will become holders of issued and outstanding Holdco Shares; and (iv) immediately following the Exchange, Holdco will redeem 6,000,000 Holdco Redeemable B Shares for a total purchase price of $60,000,000 in accordance with that certain Share Redemption Agreement entered into by and between Holdco and IFC on March 31, 2021. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.

 

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement and the Exchange Agreements at the Exchange Effective Time, the Exchange will take place based on an exchange ratio of 33.444848 used to determine the number of aggregate Holdco Shares valued at $10.00 per Holdco Share for which the aggregate Company Ordinary Shares will be exchanged (the “Exchange Consideration”). The valuation of the Company Ordinary Shares contributed to Holdco by the Company Shareholders against new Holdco Shares pursuant to the Exchange shall be deemed to be, as of the Exchange Effective Time, the sum of US$971,286,889 plus the amount, if any, by which the SPAC Transaction Expenses exceed the SPAC Transaction Expenses Cap.

 

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreements, each Company Shareholder has also agreed to not transfer any of its Company Ordinary Shares before the earlier to occur of the Exchange and the termination of the Business Combination Agreement pursuant to its terms.

 

In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including the Exchange and the Merger (the “Transactions”), Holdco, certain Company Shareholders and the Sponsors shall enter into a Nomination Agreement pursuant to which, among other things and subject to certain conditions, certain Company Shareholders and the Sponsors shall have the right to propose directors for appointment to the Holdco Board, subject to Holdco shareholder approval.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

 

In connection with the Transactions, Holdco is expected to file a registration statement on Form F-4 with the SEC that will include a proxy statement of SPAC that will also constitute a prospectus of Holdco. Each of SPAC and Holdco urge investors, shareholders and other interested persons to read, when available, the Form F-4, including the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus and amendments thereto and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and documents incorporated by reference therein, as well as other documents filed with the SEC in connection with the Transactions, as these materials will contain important information about Holdco, the Company, SPAC and the Transactions. Such persons can also read SPAC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, for a description of the security holdings of SPAC’s officers and directors and their respective interests as security holders in the consummation of the Transactions. When available, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to SPAC’s shareholders. Shareholders will also be able to obtain copies of such documents, without charge, once available, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, or by directing a request to: Union Acquisition Corp. II, 1425 Brickell Ave., #57B, Miami, FL 33131 or Procaps Group, S.A., 9 rue de Bitbourg, L-1273 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

Investors and security holders may obtain more detailed information regarding the names, affiliations and interests of SPAC’s directors and executive officers in SPAC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, which was filed with the SEC on December 30, 2020.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Amendment No. 1 contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements regarding the benefits of the Transactions, the anticipated timing of the Transactions, the products offered by the Company and the markets in which it operates, and Holdco’s projected future results. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as "forecast," "intend," "seek," "target," “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “plan,” “outlook,” and “project” and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. Such forward-looking statements also include projected financial information, including Adjusted EBITDA margin and free cash flow; the expected gross cash proceeds from the transaction; expected future capitalization; the expected listing of the shares of Holdco and the closing of the transaction; expectations relating to Holdco’s ability to invest in growth and new product categories and capitalize on favorable regional dynamics through organic and inorganic growth; estimated product launches in next three years; belief that Holdco will be sufficiently capitalized to provide innovative solutions and drive growth initiatives; and expected synergies through innovation, economies of scale and lower cost of capital. Such statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are based on management’s belief or interpretation of information currently available. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this document, including, but not limited to: (i) the risk that the transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of SPAC’s securities, (ii) the risk that the transaction may not be completed by SPAC’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by SPAC, (iii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Transactions, including the adoption of the Business Combination Agreement by the shareholders of SPAC, the satisfaction of the minimum trust account amount following redemptions by SPAC’s public shareholders and the receipt of certain governmental and regulatory approvals, (iv) the lack of a third party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the Transactions, (v) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, (vi) the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business and/or the ability of the parties to complete the Transactions; (vii) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Transactions on the Company’s business relationships, performance, and business generally, (viii) risks that the Transactions disrupt current plans and operations of the Company and potential difficulties in the Company’s employee retention as a result of the Transactions, (ix) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company, Holdco or SPAC related to the Business Combination Agreement or the Transactions, (x) the ability to maintain the listing of SPAC’s securities on the NASDAQ Stock Market, (xi) the price of SPAC’s and the post-combination company’s securities may be volatile due to a variety of factors, including changes in the competitive and highly regulated industries in which the Company operates, variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting the Company’s business and changes in the combined capital structure, (xii) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the Transactions, and identify and realize additional opportunities, (xiii) the risk of downturns and the possibility of rapid change in the highly competitive industry in which the Company operates, (xiv) the risk that the Company and its current and future collaborators are unable to successfully develop and commercialize the Company’s products, or experience significant delays in doing so, (xv) the risk that the post-combination company may never achieve or sustain profitability; (xvi) the risk that the post-combination company will need to raise additional capital to execute its business plan, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all; (xvii) the risk that the post-combination company experiences difficulties in managing its growth and expanding operations, (xviii) the risk that third-parties suppliers and manufacturers are not able to fully and timely meet their obligations; (xix) the risk of product liability or regulatory lawsuits or proceedings relating to the Company’s products and services; (xxii) the risk that the Company is unable to secure or protect its intellectual property; and (xxiii) the risk that the post-combination company’s securities will not be approved for listing on the NASDAQ Stock Market or if approved, maintain the listing. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of SPAC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, the registration statement on Form S-1 related to SPAC’s initial public offering, the proxy statement/prospectus discussed above and other documents filed by SPAC from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Holdco, the Company and SPAC assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Neither Holdco, the Company nor SPAC gives any assurance that either Holdco, the Company or SPAC will achieve its expectations.

 

No Offer or Solicitation

 

This Amendment No. 1 is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the Transactions and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities of SPAC, the Company or Holdco, nor shall there be any sale of any such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act, or exemptions therefrom.
