Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

The disclosure set forth above in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Additional Information and Where to Find It

 

In connection with the proposed Business Combination, CGC intends to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 containing a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus of CGC, and after the registration statement is declared effective, CGC will mail a definitive proxy statement/prospectus relating to the proposed Business Combination to its stockholders. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not contain any information that should be considered by CGC’s stockholders concerning the proposed Business Combination and is not intended to constitute the basis of any voting or investment decision in respect of the Business Combination or the securities of CGC. CGC’s stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read, when available, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus and the amendments thereto and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other documents filed in connection with the proposed Business Combination, as these materials will contain important information about CGC, the Companies and the Business Combination. When available, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant materials for the proposed Business Combination will be mailed to stockholders of CGC as of a record date to be established for voting on the proposed Business Combination. Stockholders will also be able to obtain copies of the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other documents filed with the SEC, without charge, once available, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, or by directing a request to: Cartesian Growth Corporation, 505 Fifth Avenue, 15th Floor, New York, NY 10017.

 

No Offer or Solicitation

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute a “solicitation” as defined in Section 14 of the Exchange Act. This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer, or a solicitation of an offer, to buy or sell any securities, investment or other specific product, or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities, investment or other specific product in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. Any private offering of securities in connection with the Business Combination (the “Securities”) will not be registered under the Securities Act, and will be offered as a private placement to a limited number of “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or institutional “accredited investors” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act). Accordingly, until registered for resale, the Securities must continue to be held until a subsequent disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Investors should consult with their counsel as to the applicable requirements for a purchaser to avail itself of any exemption from registration under the Securities Act. The transfer of the Securities may also be subject to conditions set forth in an agreement under which they are to be issued. Investors should be aware that they might be required to bear the final risk of their investment for an indefinite period of time. Neither CGC nor any Company is making an offer of the Securities in any state or jurisdiction where the offer is not permitted. 

 

Participants in the Solicitation

 

CGC, the Companies and their respective directors and executive officers may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies from CGC’s stockholders with respect to the proposed Business Combination. A list of the names of CGC’s directors and executive officers and a description of their interests in CGC is contained in CGC’s final prospectus relating to its initial public offering, dated February 23, 2021, which was filed with the SEC and is available free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, or by directing a request to Cartesian Growth Corporation, 505 Fifth Avenue, 15th Floor, New York, NY 10017. Additional information regarding the interests of the participants in the solicitation of proxies from CGC’s stockholders with respect to the proposed Business Combination will be contained in the proxy statement/prospectus for the proposed Business Combination when available.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K may be considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements herein generally relate to future events or the future financial or operating performance of CGC, the Companies or the combined company expected to result from the Business Combination (the “Combined Company”). For example, statements regarding the Combined Company’s industry and market sizes, future opportunities for the Combined Company, the Combined Company’s estimated future results and outcomes of the proposed Business Combination, including the implied enterprise value, the expected transaction and ownership structure and the likelihood and ability of the parties to successfully consummate the proposed Business Combination, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “predict,” “project,” “target,” “plan,” or “potentially” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

 

These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions, whether or not identified in this Current Report on Form 8-K, that, while considered reasonable by CGC, the Companies and their respective management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain and subject to material change. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risk and uncertainties. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to, various factors beyond management’s control, including (i) the inability to complete the business combination in a timely manner or at all (including due to the failure to receive required shareholder approvals, failure to receive approvals or the failure of other closing conditions); (ii) the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination; (iii) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of CGC’s shares on Nasdaq following the business combination; (iv) costs related to the business combination; (v) the risk that the business combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the business combination; (vi) CGC and the Companies’ ability to manage growth and execute business plans and meet projections; (vii) potential litigation involving CGC or any of the Companies; (viii) changes in applicable laws or regulations, particularly with respect to wealth management and asset management; (ix) general economic and market conditions impacting demand for CGC’s or the Companies’ services, and in particular economic and market conditions in the financial services industry in the markets in which CGC or any of the Companies operate; and (x) other risks, uncertainties and factors set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in CGC’s final prospectus relating to its initial public offering, dated February 23, 2021, and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). If any of these risks materialize or the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither CGC nor the Companies presently know or that CGC or any of the Companies currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.

 

Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, which speak only as of the date they are made and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the cautionary statements herein and the risk factors of CGC and the Companies described above. None of CGC or any Company undertakes any duty to update these forward-looking statements.
