When prompted enter the pin number #. This option is listen-only, and you will not be able to vote or enter questions during the Extraordinary General Meeting if you choose to participate telephonically. The accompanying proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) is dated , 2023, and is first being mailed to shareholders of the Company on or about , 2023. The sole purpose of the Extraordinary General Meeting is to consider and vote upon the following proposals:

Proposal No. 1 – The Extension Amendment Proposal – to approve, as a special resolution, the amendment of the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (as may be amended from time to time, the “Articles”) as provided by the first resolution in the form set forth in Annex A to the accompanying Proxy Statement (the “Extension Amendment” and, such proposal, the “Extension Amendment Proposal”) to extend the date (the “Extension”) by which the Company must (1) consummate a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (a “business combination”), (2) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to consummate such business combination, and (3) redeem all of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (such shares, including any shares issued in exchange thereof, the “public shares”) that was consummated on January 27, 2022 (our “IPO”), from November 27, 2023 (the date that is twenty-two months from the closing of our IPO) to up to [·] (the date that is [·] months from the closing of our IPO) (such date, the “Extended Date”);

Proposal No. 2 – The Trust Amendment Proposal – to approve, as a special resolution, as provided in Annex B to the accompanying Proxy Statement, Amendment No. 2 (the “Trust Amendment”) to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated January 24, 2022, as amended on April 13, 2021 (the “Trust Agreement”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”), to allow the Company to extend on a month to month basis the date on which the Trustee must liquidate the trust account established by the Company in connection with the IPO (the “trust account”) if the Company has not completed its initial business combination, from November 27, 2023 (the date that is twenty-two months from the closing of our IPO) to up to [·] (the date that is [·] months from the closing of our IPO) by depositing into the trust account the lesser of $[·]or $[·]per public share that remains outstanding and is not redeemed in connection with the Extension Amendment per calendar month commencing on November 27, 2023 (the “Trust Amendment Proposal”); and

Proposal No. 3 – The Adjournment Proposal – to approve, as an ordinary resolution, the adjournment of the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates or indefinitely, if necessary or convenient, either (x) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of any of the foregoing proposals or (y) if the holders of public shares have elected to redeem an amount of shares in connection with any of the foregoing proposals such that the Company would not adhere to the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) (the “Adjournment Proposal”).

Each of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal (collectively, the “Proposals”) and the Adjournment Proposal is more fully described in the accompanying Proxy Statement.

The purpose of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment is to allow us more time to enter into and consummate a business combination. The Articles currently provide that we have until November 27, 2023 or such later date as may be approved by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the Articles to consummate our initial business combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposals are approved, the Articles and the Trust Agreement will be amended to provide that the Combination Period may be extended to the Extended Date.

On September 29, 2023, the Company, LatAmGrowth Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Old Sponsor”), and Chenghe Investment I Limited, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the “New Sponsor and, together with the Old Sponsor, the “Sponsor”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), and on October 6, 2023 the Old Sponsor and the New Sponsor consummated the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Sponsor Sale”) pursuant to which the New Sponsor acquired an aggregate of (i) 2,650,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share of the Company and (ii) 7,900,000 warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share of the Company held by Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00 plus New Sponsor’s agreement to pay Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company certain extension payments due after the closing pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms of, the Trust Agreement. Following the completion of the Sponsor Sale, the Old Sponsor owns 600,000 Class B ordinary shares and no Private Placement Warrants.

As a condition to and concurrently with the consummation of the Sponsor Sale, new Board members and a new management team for the Company were appointed by the prior Board and the prior Board and the prior management team resigned, effective upon consummation of the Sponsor Sale.

The New Sponsor, the Board and the Company’s management team believe that shareholders of the Company will benefit from the Proposals, which would provide the Company with additional time to consummate an initial business combination.

If the Extension Proposal is approved, the Sponsor, or its designees, has agreed to contribute to the Trust Account the lesser of $[·] or $[·]per public share that remains outstanding and is not redeemed in connection with the Extension Amendment per calendar month for each of the [·] subsequent calendar months commencing on November 27, 2023, that is needed by us to complete an initial business combination. Accordingly, the amount deposited per share will depend on the number of public shares that remain outstanding after redemptions in connection with the Extension Amendment. For example, if no public shares are redeemed and all of our public shares remain outstanding in connection with the Extension Amendment, then the amount deposited for a one-month period will be $[·]. However, if 30%, or [·], of the public shares remain outstanding after redemptions in connection with the Extension Amendment, then the amount deposited for a one-month period will be approximately $[·]. The contributions are conditioned upon the implementation of the Extension Proposal. The contributions will not occur if the Extension Proposal is not approved or the Extension is not completed.

Our board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to seek an extension of the Combination Period and have our shareholders approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal to allow for additional time to consider, negotiate and enter into a definitive agreement relating to an initial business combination, to hold an extraordinary general meeting to obtain the shareholder approvals required in connection with a business combination and to consummate the closing of a business combination. Our board currently believes that it is improbable that we will be able to negotiate and complete our initial business combination before November 27, 2023. Accordingly, our board believes that, in order for us to potentially consummate an initial business combination, we will need to obtain the Extension. We reserve the right at any time to cancel the Extraordinary General Meeting and not to submit the Proposals to our shareholders.

In connection with the Proposals, shareholders may elect to redeem their public shares (the “Election”) for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account established in connection with our IPO (the “Trust Account”), including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes, if any, divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares. The Election can be made regardless of whether holders of public shares (“public shareholders”) vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Proposals and the Election can also be made by public shareholders who do not vote, or do not instruct their broker or bank how to vote, at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Public shareholders may make the Election regardless of whether such public shareholders were holders as of the record date (as defined below). Public shareholders who do not make the Election would be entitled to have their shares redeemed for cash if we have not consummated our initial business combination by the Extended Date. In addition, regardless of whether public shareholders vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Proposals, or do not vote, or do not instruct their broker or bank how to vote, at the Extraordinary General Meeting, if the Extension is implemented and a public shareholder does not make the Election, they will retain the right to vote on any proposed initial business combination in the future and the right to redeem their public shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of such initial business combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay taxes, if any, divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares, in the event a proposed business combination is consummated.

iii

We are not asking you to vote on any proposed business combination at this time. If we enter into a definitive agreement relating to a business combination, we intend to file (i) promptly thereafter a current report on Form 8-K with information about the business combination, and (ii) in due course a separate proxy statement or proxy statement/prospectus pursuant to which we will seek approval of the business combination, among other things, at a separate extraordinary general meeting. If the Proposals are not approved, we may not be able to enter into, or consummate, a business combination. We urge you to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting regarding the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment.

Based upon the amount in the Trust Account as of , 2023, which was approximately $ , we anticipate that the per-share price at which public shares will be redeemed for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account will be approximately $ at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting. The closing price of the public shares on the Nasdaq on , 2023, the most recent practicable closing price prior to the mailing of this Proxy Statement, was $ .. We cannot assure shareholders that they will be able to sell their public shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in our securities when such shareholders wish to sell their shares.

TO DEMAND REDEMPTION, PRIOR TO 5:00 P.M. EASTERN TIME ON , 2023 (TWO BUSINESS DAYS BEFORE THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING), YOU SHOULD ELECT EITHER TO PHYSICALLY TENDER YOUR SHARES (AND/OR DELIVER YOUR SHARE CERTIFICATE(S) (IF ANY) AND OTHER REDEMPTION FORMS) TO CONTINENTAL STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY (OUR “TRANSFER AGENT”) OR TO TENDER YOUR SHARES (AND/OR DELIVER YOUR SHARE CERTIFICATE(S) (IF ANY) AND OTHER REDEMPTION FORMS) TO OUR TRANSFER AGENT ELECTRONICALLY USING THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY’S DWAC (DEPOSIT/ WITHDRAWAL AT CUSTODIAN), AS DESCRIBED IN THE ACCOMPANYING PROXY STATEMENT. YOU SHOULD ENSURE THAT YOUR BANK OR BROKER COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIREMENTS IDENTIFIED ELSEWHERE IN THE ACCOMPANYING PROXY STATEMENT.

The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, will allow our board to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation of proxies. Notwithstanding the order of the resolutions on the notice to the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Adjournment Proposal may be presented first to our shareholders if, based on the tabulated vote collected at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting, there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Proposals or, if due to redemptions in connection with the Proposals, the Company would not adhere to the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq.

If the Proposals are not approved and we do not consummate our initial business combination by November 27, 2023, as contemplated by our IPO prospectus and in accordance with the Trust Agreement, we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (2) and (3), to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, the holders of our Class B ordinary shares (the “founder shares” and, together with the public shares, the “shares” or “ordinary shares”), including our Sponsor, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of the founder shares.

Approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal, requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the then issued and outstanding ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

The approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of sixty-five (65%) of the votes cast of the then outstanding ordinary shares that attend and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then issued and outstanding ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

After careful consideration of all relevant factors, our board has determined that the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and, if presented, the Adjournment Proposal are advisable and recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” such proposals.

No other business is proposed to be transacted at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Enclosed is the Proxy Statement containing detailed information concerning the Proposals and the Extraordinary General Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting, we urge you to read this material carefully and vote your ordinary shares.

By Order of the Board of Directors

	, Chief Executive Officer
	(Principal Executive Officer)

Your vote is important. If you are a shareholder of record, please sign, date and return your proxy card as soon as possible to make sure that your shares are represented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If you are a shareholder of record, you may also cast your vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting by virtual means as provided in the accompanying Proxy Statement). If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must instruct your broker or bank how to vote your shares, or you may cast your vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting by obtaining a proxy from your brokerage firm or bank (by virtual means as provided in the accompanying Proxy Statement). Your failure to vote or instruct your broker or bank how to vote will mean that your ordinary shares will not count towards the quorum requirement for the Extraordinary General Meeting and will not be voted. An abstention or broker non-vote will be counted towards the quorum requirement but will not count as a vote cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Accordingly, our board believes that in order for us to potentially consummate an initial business combination, we will need to obtain the Extension.

The withdrawal of funds from the Trust Account in connection with the Election will reduce the amount held in the Trust Account following the Election, and the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be only a small fraction of the approximately $ that was in the Trust Account as of , 2023. In such event, we may need to obtain additional funds to consummate an initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on acceptable terms or at all.

If the Proposals are not approved and we do not consummate our initial business combination by November 27, 2023, as contemplated by our IPO prospectus and in accordance with our Articles, we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (2) and (3), to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The closing price of the public shares on Nasdaq on , 2023, the most recent practicable closing price prior to the mailing of this Proxy Statement, was $ .. We cannot assure shareholders that they will be able to sell their shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in our securities when such shareholders wish to sell their shares.

If the Proposals are approved, we will (1) remove from the Trust Account an amount (the “Withdrawal Amount”) equal to the number of public shares properly redeemed multiplied by the per-share price, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned thereon and not previously released to us to pay taxes, divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares and (2) deliver to the holders of such redeemed public shares their pro rata portion of the Withdrawal Amount. The remainder of such funds will remain in the Trust Account and will be available for use by us in connection with consummating an initial business combination on or before the Extended Date. Public shareholders who do not redeem their public shares now will retain their redemption rights and their ability to vote on any initial business combination through the Extended Date if the Proposals are approved.

Our board has fixed the close of business on , 2023 (the “record date”) as the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting and any adjournment thereof. Only holders of record of the ordinary shares on the record date are entitled to have their votes counted at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof. On the record date of the Extraordinary General Meeting, there were 8,850,483 ordinary shares outstanding, of which 5,600,483 were public shares and 3,250,000 were founder shares. The founder shares carry voting rights in connection with the Proposals and the Adjournment Proposal, and we have been informed by our Sponsor, which holds all of the founder shares, that it intends to vote in favor of the Proposals and the Adjournment Proposal.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

These Questions and Answers are only summaries of the matters they discuss. They do not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read carefully the entire document, including the annexes to this Proxy Statement.

Q:	*Why am I receiving this Proxy Statement?*

Like many blank check companies, our Articles provide for the return of the funds held in Trust Account to our public shareholders if we do not consummate a business combination by a certain date. Our board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to amend the Articles to extend the date we have to consummate a business combination to the Extended Date in order to allow us and our board to evaluate, negotiate and enter into an initial business combination, and subsequently to allow our shareholders to evaluate the initial business combination, and for us to be able to potentially consummate the initial business combination, and is submitting the proposals included herein to our shareholders to vote upon at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Q:	*What is being voted on?*

A:	You are being asked to vote on the following proposals:

Proposal No. 1 – The Extension Amendment Proposal – to approve, as a special resolution, the amendment of the Articles as provided by the first resolution in the form set forth in Annex A to this Proxy Statement to extend the date by which the Company must (1) consummate a business combination, (2) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to consummate such business combination, and (3) redeem all of the Company’s public shares, from November 27, 2023 (the date that is twenty-two months from the closing of our IPO) to up to [·] (the date that is [·] months from the closing of our IPO) (such date, the “Extended Date”);

Proposal No. 2 – The Trust Amendment Proposal – to approve, as a special resolution, as provided in Annex B, Amendment No. 1 (the “Trust Amendment”) to the Trust Agreement to allow the Company to extend on a month to month basis the date on which the Trustee must liquidate the trust account if the Company has not completed its initial business combination, from November 27, 2023 (which is 22 months from the closing date of our IPO) to up to [·] (the date that is [·] months from the closing of our IPO) by depositing into the trust account the lesser of $[·] or $[·] per public share that remains outstanding and is not redeemed in connection with the Extension Amendment per calendar month commencing on November 27, 2023 (the “Trust Amendment Proposal”); and

Proposal No. 3 – The Adjournment Proposal – to approve, as an ordinary resolution, the adjournment of the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates or indefinitely, if necessary or convenient, either (x) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of any of the foregoing proposals or (y) if the holders of public shares have elected to redeem an amount of shares in connection with the Proposals such that the Company would not adhere to the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq (the “Adjournment Proposal”).

If the Proposals are approved and the Extension is implemented, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account in connection with the Election will reduce the amount held in the Trust Account following the Election. We cannot predict the amount that will remain in the Trust Account if the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved and the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be only a small fraction of the approximately $ that was in the Trust Account as of , 2023. In such event, we may need to obtain additional funds to consummate an initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on acceptable terms or at all.

There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, the holder of our founder shares, our Sponsor, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of its ownership of the founder shares.

Q:	*Why is the Company proposing the Extension Amendment Proposal?*

A:	Our Articles provide for the return of the funds held in the Trust Account to holders of public shares if we do not consummate a business combination on or before November 27, 2023.

Our board currently believes there is not sufficient time to enter into a definitive agreement relating to an initial business combination, to hold an extraordinary general meeting to obtain the shareholder approvals required in connection with a business combination and to consummate the closing of a business combination.

Accordingly, in order for us to consider, negotiate and enter into a definitive agreement relating to a business combination, for our shareholders to be able to evaluate the potential business combination and for us to be able to consummate such business combination, we will need to obtain the Extension.

Q:	*Why should I vote “FOR” the Extension Amendment Proposal?*

The Extension Amendment Proposal would give us the opportunity to consummate a business combination, which our board believes in the best interests of the Company. If you do not elect to redeem your public shares, you will retain the right to vote on any proposed initial business combination in the future and the right to redeem your public shares in connection with such initial business combination.

Our board recommends that you vote in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal.

Q:	*Will you seek any further extensions to liquidate the Trust Account?*

A:	Other than the extensions until the Extended Date, as of the date of this Proxy Statement, we do not anticipate seeking any further extension to consummate a business combination, although we may determine to do so in the future, if necessary.

Q:	*Why is the Company proposing the Trust Amendment Proposal?*

A:	The company is proposing the Trust Amendment Proposal for the same reasons it is proposing the Extension Amendment Proposal.

Q:	*Why should I vote “FOR” the Trust Amendment Proposal?*

A:	Our board recommends that you vote in favor of the Trust Amendment Proposal for the same reasons you should vote in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal.

Q:	*Why should I vote “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal?*

The Company may put the Adjournment Proposal to a vote in order to seek additional time to obtain sufficient votes in support of the Proposals or to allow public shareholders time to reverse their redemption requests in connection with the Proposals. If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by the shareholders, the Board may not be able to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates in the event that there are insufficient votes to approve the Proposals or if due to redemptions in connection with the Proposals, the Company would not adhere to the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq. If presented, our board recommends that you vote in favor of the Adjournment Proposal.

Q:	*How do the Company insiders intend to vote their shares?*

Our Sponsor owns 3,250,000 founder shares. Such founder shares represent 37% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares. The founder shares carry voting rights in connection with the Proposals, and we have been informed by our Sponsor and our officers and independent directors that they intend to vote in favor of the Proposals. Pursuant to a letter agreement entered into with us by our Sponsor and each of our officers and directors in connection with our IPO, our Sponsor, directors and officers and their respective affiliates are not entitled to redeem any founder shares held by them in connection with the Proposals.

Our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates may purchase public shares or warrants in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the Extraordinary General Meeting. Any such purchases that are completed after the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting may include an agreement with a selling shareholder that such shareholder, for so long as he, she or it remains the record holder of the shares in question, will vote in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal and/or will not exercise such shareholder’s redemption rights with respect to the shares so purchased. Any such privately negotiated purchases may be effected at purchase prices that are below or in excess of the per-share pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account. Additionally, subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material nonpublic information), our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates may enter into transactions with investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares, vote their public shares in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal or not redeem their public shares. However, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds held in the Trust Account will be used to purchase public shares or warrants in such transactions. If they engage in such transactions, they will be restricted from making any such purchases when they are in possession of any material nonpublic information not disclosed to the seller or if such purchases are prohibited by Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). We do not currently anticipate that such purchases, if any, would constitute a tender offer subject to the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act or a going-private transaction subject to the going-private rules under the Exchange Act; however, if the purchasers determine at the time of any such purchases that the purchases are subject to such rules, the purchasers will comply with such rules. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements.

Additionally, in the event our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates were to purchase shares or warrants from public shareholders such purchases would be structured in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act including, in pertinent part, through adherence to the following:

our proxy statement would disclose the possibility that our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates may purchase shares, rights or warrants from public shareholders outside the redemption process, along with the purpose of such purchases;

if our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates were to purchase shares or warrants from public shareholders, they would do so at a price no higher than the price offered through our redemption process;

our proxy statement would include a representation that any of our securities purchased by our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates would not be voted in favor of approving the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal;

our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates would not possess any redemption rights with respect to our securities or, if they do acquire and possess redemption rights, they would waive such rights; and

we would disclose in a Form 8-K, before our shareholder meeting, the following material items:

⮚

the amount of our securities purchased outside of the redemption offer by our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates, along with the purchase price;

⮚

the purpose of the purchases by our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates;

⮚

the impact, if any, of the purchases by our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates on the likelihood that the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal will be approved;

⮚

the identities of our security holders who sold to our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of our security holders (e.g., 5% security holders) who sold to our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates; and

⮚

the number of our securities for which we have received redemption requests pursuant to our redemption offer.

The purpose of any such transaction could be to (1) increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the Proposals or (2) satisfy Nasdaq continued listing requirements. Any such purchases of our securities may result in the completion of our initial business combination that may not otherwise have been possible. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our securities may be reduced and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, which may make it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.

Q:	*What vote is required to adopt the Extension Amendment Proposal?*

The approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the then issued and outstanding ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Q:	*What vote is required to adopt the Trust Amendment Proposal?*

A:	The approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of sixty-five (65%) of the votes cast of the then outstanding ordinary shares that attend and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Q:	*What vote is required to approve the Adjournment Proposal?*

Q:	*What if I do not want to vote “FOR” the Proposals?*

If you do not want the Proposals to be approved, you must vote “AGAINST” the Proposals. If the Proposals are approved, and the Extension is implemented, then the Withdrawal Amount will be withdrawn from the Trust Account and paid pro rata to the redeeming public shareholders. You will still be entitled to make the Election if you vote against, abstain or do not vote on the Proposals.

Q:	*What happens if the Proposals are not approved?*

Q:	*If the Proposals are approved, what happens next?*

A:	We will continue our efforts to enter into and consummate an initial business combination.

Upon approval of the Proposals by the requisite number of votes, the amendments to our Articles that are set forth in Annex A hereto and the amendments to the Trust Agreement set forth in Annex B hereto will become effective. We will remain a reporting company under the Exchange Act and our units and public shares will remain publicly traded.

If the Proposals are approved, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account will reduce the amount remaining in the Trust Account and increase the percentage interest of our ordinary shares held by our Sponsor and our officers and independent directors as a result of their ownership of the founder shares.

If the Proposals are approved but we do not consummate our initial business combination by the Extended Date (or, if the date by which we have to consummate a business combination is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, the holders of our founder shares, including our Sponsor, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of the founder shares.

Q:	*What happens to the Company warrants if the Proposals are not approved?*

If the Proposals are not approved and we do not consummate our initial business combination by November 27, 2023, we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (2) and (3), to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, the holder of our founder shares, our Sponsor, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of its ownership of the founder shares.

Q:	*How are the funds in the Trust Account currently being held?*

With respect to the regulation of special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) like the Company, on March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules (the “SPAC Rule Proposals”) relating to, among other items, disclosures in business combination transactions involving SPACs and private operating companies; the condensed financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; the use of projections by SPACs in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions; the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), including a proposed rule that would provide SPACs a safe harbor from treatment as an investment company if they satisfy certain conditions that limit a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities.

With regard to the SEC’s investment company proposals included in the SPAC Rule Proposals, while the funds in the Trust Account have been, since our IPO, and we expect them to continue to be, held only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, to mitigate the risk of being viewed as operating an unregistered investment company (including pursuant to the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act), we would, on or prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement relating to our IPO, instruct Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S. government securities or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash until the earlier of consummation of our initial business combination or liquidation. If we had to liquidate and hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash, we would likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the Trust Account, which would reduce the dollar amount our public shareholders would receive upon any redemptions of public shares or liquidation of the Company.

Q:	*If I do not exercise my redemption rights in connection with the Proposals, would I still be able to exercise my redemption rights in connection with any future initial business combination?*

A:	Unless you elect to redeem your shares in connection with the Proposals as described in this Proxy Statement, you will be able to exercise redemption rights in respect of any future initial business combination subject to any limitations set forth in our Articles.

Q:	*How do I change my vote?*

You may change your vote by sending a later-dated, signed proxy card to the Company at LatAmGrowth SPAC, [address], so that it is received prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting or by attending the Extraordinary General Meeting and voting by virtual means as provided below. You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to the same address, which must be received by the Company prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Please note, however, that if on the record date your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, custodian bank or other nominee, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. If your shares are held in street name and you wish to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, you must bring to the Extraordinary General Meeting a legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee holding your shares, confirming your beneficial ownership of the shares and giving you the right to vote your shares.

Any shareholder wishing to attend the virtual Extraordinary General Meeting should register for the meeting by , 2023 (five business days prior to the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting). To register for the Extraordinary General Meeting, please follow the following instructions as applicable to the nature of your ownership of ordinary shares:

If your shares are registered in your name with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and you wish to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting online, go to https://www.cstproxy.com/latamgrowthspac/2023, enter the control number included on your proxy card and click on the “Click here to preregister for the online meeting” link at the top of the page. Just prior to the start of the meeting you will need to log back into the meeting site using your control number. Pre-registration is recommended but is not required in order to attend.

Beneficial shareholders (those whose shares are held through a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record) who wish to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting online and vote must obtain a legal proxy by contacting their account representative at the bank, broker, or other nominee that holds their shares and e-mail a copy (a legible photograph is sufficient) of their legal proxy to proxy@continentalstock.com. Continental will issue a control number and email it back with the meeting information.

Q:	*How are votes counted and what vote is required to approve each of the proposals?*

Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Extraordinary General Meeting, who will separately count “FOR” and “AGAINST” votes, abstentions and broker non-votes.

The Extension Amendment Proposal must be approved as a special resolution under the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands and the Articles, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the then issued and outstanding ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal must be approved as a special resolution under the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands and requires the affirmative vote of holders of sixty-five (65%) of the votes cast of the then issued and outstanding ordinary shares that attend and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Island law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then issued and outstanding ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Accordingly, if a valid quorum is established, a shareholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person (by virtual means) at the Extraordinary General Meeting, as well as abstentions and broker non-votes, which will not count as votes cast, will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on any of the proposals.

Q:	*If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker automatically vote them for me?*

No. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank or other nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank, or nominee. We believe all the proposals presented to the shareholders will be considered non-discretionary and therefore your broker, bank or other nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction. Your bank, broker or other nominee can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide. If your shares are held by your broker as your nominee, which we refer to as being held in “street name,” you may need to obtain a proxy form from the institution that holds your shares and follow the instructions included on that form regarding how to instruct your broker to vote your shares.

Q:	*What is a quorum requirement?*

A quorum of our shareholders is necessary to hold a valid Extraordinary General Meeting. A quorum will be present at the Extraordinary General Meeting if the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting are represented in person (by virtual means) or by proxy. As of the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting, the holders of at least 4,425,242 ordinary shares would be required to achieve a quorum.

Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you vote in person (by virtual means) at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement but will not count as a vote cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting. In the absence of a quorum, the chairman of the meeting has power to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Q:	*Who can vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting?*

Only holders of record of our ordinary shares at the close of business on , 2023 are entitled to have their vote counted at the Extraordinary General Meeting and any adjournments thereof. On this record date, 8,850,483 ordinary shares (consisting of 5,600,483 Class A ordinary shares and 3,250,000 Class B ordinary shares) were outstanding and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Shareholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name. If on the record date your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (our “transfer agent”), then you are a shareholder of record. As a shareholder of record, you may vote in person (by virtual means) at the Extraordinary General Meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting, we urge you to fill out and return the enclosed proxy card to ensure your vote is counted.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank. If on the record date your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting. However, since you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote your shares at the Extraordinary General Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other agent.

Q:	*Does the board recommend voting for the approval of the Proposals and the Adjournment Proposal?*

Yes. After careful consideration of the terms and conditions of these proposals, our board has determined that the Proposals and, if presented, the Adjournment Proposal are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The board recommends that our shareholders vote “FOR” the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.

Q:	*What interests do the Company’s Sponsor, directors and officers have in the approval of the Proposals?*

Our Sponsor, directors and officers have interests in the proposals that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. These interests include, among other things, director or indirect ownership of founder shares and warrants that may become exercisable in the future and advances that will not be repaid in the event of our winding up and the possibility of future compensatory arrangements. See the section entitled “The Extraordinary General Meeting—Interests of our Sponsor, Directors and Officers.”

Q:	*Do I have dissenters’ or appraisal rights if I object to the Proposals?*

A:	Our shareholders do not have dissenters’ rights or appraisal rights in connection with the Proposals under Cayman Islands law.

Q:	*What do I need to do now?*

We urge you to read carefully and consider the information contained in this Proxy Statement, including the annexes hereto, and to consider how the proposals will affect you as a shareholder. You should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this Proxy Statement and on the enclosed proxy card.

Q:	*How do I vote?*

If you are a holder of record of our ordinary shares, you may vote in person by virtual means as provided herein at the Extraordinary General Meeting or by submitting a proxy for the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Whether or not you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person by virtual means, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope. You may still attend the Extraordinary General Meeting and vote if you have already voted by proxy.

If your ordinary shares are held in “street name” by a broker or other agent, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting. However, since you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote your shares at the Extraordinary General Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other agent.

Q:	*How do I redeem my ordinary shares?*

Each of our public shareholders may submit an Election to, subject to the approval of the Proposals and the implementation of the Extension, redeem all or a portion of its, his her public shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay taxes, if any, divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares. If you do not make an Election to redeem your public shares, you will also be able to redeem your public shares in connection with any proposed initial business combination, or if we have not consummated our initial business combination by the Extended Date.

In order to tender your ordinary shares (and/or deliver your share certificate(s) (if any) and other redemption forms) for redemption, you must elect either to physically tender your share certificates to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, at Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 1 State Street 30th Floor, New York, New York, 10004, Attn: SPAC Redemption Team spacredemptions@continentalstock.com, or to tender your ordinary shares (and/or deliver your share certificate(s) (if any) and other redemption forms) to our transfer agent electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) system, which election would likely be determined based on the manner in which you hold your shares. If you are a holder of public shares and you intend to seek redemption of your shares, you will need to deliver your shares to our transfer agent (together with any applicable share certificates and redemption forms), either physically or electronically through DTC, at the address above prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on , 2023 (two business days prior to the date of Extraordinary General Meeting).

Q:	*How do I withdraw my election to redeem my ordinary shares?*

If you tender your ordinary shares (and/or delivered your share certificate(s) (if any) and other redemption forms) for redemption to our transfer agent and decide prior to the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting not to redeem your shares, you may request that our transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting our transfer agent at the address listed above. Any request for redemption, once made by a holder of public shares, may not be withdrawn once submitted to us unless our board determines (in its sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which it may do in whole or in part).

Q:	*What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?*

You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this Proxy Statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards, if your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your shares.

Q:	*Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?*

We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. We have engaged Morrow to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Extraordinary General Meeting. We have agreed to pay Morrow a fee of $[·]. We will also reimburse Morrow for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify Morrow and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. In addition to these mailed proxy materials, our directors and officers may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. These parties will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

Q:	*Who can help answer my questions?*

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Proxy Statement contains statements that are forward-looking and as such are not historical facts. This includes, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations. These statements constitute projections, forecasts and forward-looking statements, and are not guarantees of performance. They involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these statements. Such statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. When used in this Proxy Statement, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “strive,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. When the Company discusses its strategies or plans, it is making projections, forecasts or forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on the beliefs of, as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to, the Company’s management. Actual results and shareholders’ value will be affected by a variety of risks and factors, including, without limitation, international, national and local economic conditions, merger, acquisition and business combination risks, financing risks, geo-political risks, acts of terror or war, and those risk factors described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 19, 2023, in this Proxy Statement and in other reports the Company files with the SEC. Many of the risks and factors that will determine these results and shareholders’ value are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict.

All such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Proxy Statement. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on the Company’s behalf are qualified in their entirety by this “Forward-Looking Statements” section.

RISK FACTORS

You should consider carefully all of the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 19, 2023 and in the other reports we file with the SEC before making a decision to invest in our securities. Furthermore, if any of the following events occur, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected or we could face liquidation. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results or result in our liquidation.

There are no assurances that the Extension will enable us to complete an initial business combination.

Approving the Proposals involves a number of risks. Even if the Proposals are approved and the Extension is implemented, we can provide no assurances that an initial business combination will be consummated prior to the Extended Date. Our ability to consummate an initial business combination is dependent on a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. If the Proposals are approved, we expect to seek shareholder approval of an initial business combination. We are required to offer shareholders the opportunity to redeem Class A ordinary shares in connection with the Proposals, and we will be required to offer shareholders redemption rights again in connection with any shareholder vote to approve our initial business combination. Even if the Proposals or our initial business combination are approved by our shareholders, it is possible that redemptions will leave us with insufficient cash to consummate an initial business combination on commercially acceptable terms, or at all. The fact that we will have separate redemption periods in connection with the proposals and our initial business combination vote could exacerbate these risks. Other than in connection with a redemption offer or liquidation, our shareholders may be unable to recover their investment except through sales of Class A ordinary shares on the open market. The price of Class A ordinary shares may be volatile, and there can be no assurance that shareholders will be able to dispose of Class A ordinary shares at favorable prices, or at all.

If we were deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we may be forced to abandon our efforts to consummate an initial business combination and instead be required to liquidate the Company.

On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued the SPAC Rule Proposals, relating, among other things, to circumstances in SPACs such as us that could potentially cause us to be subject to the Investment Company Act and the regulations thereunder. The SPAC Rule Proposals would provide a safe harbor for such companies from the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, provided that a SPAC satisfies certain criteria. To comply with the duration limitation of the proposed safe harbor, a SPAC would have a limited time period to announce and complete a de-SPAC transaction. Specifically, to comply with the safe harbor, the SPAC Rule Proposals would require a SPAC to file a report on Form 8-K announcing that it has entered into an agreement with a target company for an initial business combination no later than 18 months after the effective date of the registration statement relating to the SPAC’s initial public offering. Such SPAC would then be required to complete its initial business combination no later than 24 months after the effective date of the registration statement relating to its initial public offering.

We have already passed 18 months from the effective date of the registration statement relating to our IPO and cannot be sure as to whether we will be able to consummate our initial business combination within 24 months of such date. As a result, it is possible that a claim could be made that we have been operating as an unregistered investment company. If we were deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we might be forced to abandon our efforts to consummate an initial business combination and instead be required to liquidate. If we are required to liquidate, our investors would not be able to realize the benefits of owning shares in a successor operating business, including the potential appreciation in the value of our shares and warrants following such a transaction, and our warrants would expire worthless.

The funds in the Trust Account have, since our IPO, been held, and will continue to be held, only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. However, to mitigate the risk of us being deemed to have been operating as an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act), we would, on or shortly prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement relating to our initial public offering, instruct Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S. government securities or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash until the earlier of consummation of our initial business combination or liquidation. As a result, following such liquidation, we would likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the Trust Account, which would reduce the dollar amount our public shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.

In addition, even prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement relating to our IPO, we may be deemed to be an investment company. The longer that the funds in the Trust Account are held in short-term U.S. government securities or in money market funds invested exclusively in such securities, even prior to the 24-month anniversary, there is a greater risk that we may be considered an unregistered investment company, in which case we may be required to liquidate. Accordingly, we may determine, in our discretion, to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account at any time, even prior to the 24-month anniversary, and instead hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash, which would further reduce the dollar amount our public shareholders would receive upon any redemption of our public shares or liquidation of the Company.

In the event the Proposals are approved and effected, the ability of our public shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of our public shares may adversely affect the liquidity of our securities.

A public shareholder may request that the Company redeem all or a portion of such public shareholder’s ordinary shares for cash. The ability of our public shareholders to exercise such redemption rights with respect to a large number of our public shares may adversely affect the liquidity of our Class A ordinary shares. As a result, you may be unable to sell your Class A ordinary shares even if the market price per share is higher than the per-share redemption price paid to public shareholders who elect to redeem their shares.

Any business combination may be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations, which may impose conditions on or prevent the consummation of our initial business combination. Such conditions or limitations could also potentially make our public shares less attractive to investors or cause our future investments to be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations.

Investments that involve the acquisition of, or investment in, a U.S. business by a non-U.S. investor may be subject to U.S. laws that regulate foreign investments in U.S. businesses and access by foreign persons to technology developed and produced in the United States. These laws include Section 721 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended by the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018, and the regulations at 31 C.F.R. Parts 800 and 802, as amended, administered by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”).

Whether CFIUS has jurisdiction to review an acquisition or investment transaction depends on, among other factors, the nature and structure of the transaction, including the level of beneficial ownership interest and the nature of any information or governance rights involved. For example, investments that result in “control” of a “U.S. business” by a “foreign person” (in each case, as such terms are defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800) always are subject to CFIUS jurisdiction. Significant CFIUS reform legislation, which was fully implemented through regulations that became effective in 2020, expanded the scope of CFIUS’s jurisdiction to investments that do not result in control of a U.S. business by a foreign person, but afford certain foreign investors certain information or governance rights in a U.S. business that has a nexus to “critical technologies,” “covered investment critical infrastructure” and/or “sensitive personal data” (in each case, as such terms are defined in 31 C.F.R. Part 800).

Our New Sponsor is a Cayman Islands limited liability company whose sole director is Richard Qi Li, the chairman of our advisory board]. Mr. Li is a foreign person under the CFIUS regulations. Except as disclosed herein, the Sponsor has no other substantial ties with a non-U.S. person. There is no assurance that a business combination of the Company will not trigger CFIUS jurisdiction. If CFIUS decides to make an inquiry regarding the business combination and determines that it has jurisdiction over the business combination, CFIUS may decide to block or delay the business combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to such business combination or order it to divest all or a portion of a U.S. business of the combined company if it had proceeded without first obtaining CFIUS clearance. The likelihood of a CFIUS inquiry concerning a potential business combination transaction generally tends to be higher if one or more “control” persons of a sponsor is from Hong Kong or mainland China, as is the case with us; Mr. Li is a permanent resident of Hong Kong.

The process of government review, whether by CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy. Because the Company has only a limited time to complete its initial business combination, its failure to obtain any required approvals within the requisite time period may require it to liquidate. If the Company liquidates, its public shareholders may only receive the redemption value per share, and its warrants will expire worthless. This will also cause investors to lose any potential investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on the Company’s shareholders’ investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.

In the event the Proposals are approved, Nasdaq may delist our securities from trading on its exchange following shareholder redemptions in connection with such amendments, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

Our Class A ordinary shares and units are listed on the Nasdaq. We are subject to compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements in order to maintain the listing of our securities on Nasdaq. Pursuant to the terms of the Articles, in the event that the Proposals are approved and the Articles and Trust Agreement are amended, public shareholders may elect to redeem their public shares and, as a result, we may not be in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements. We expect that if our Class A ordinary shares fail to meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, our units will also fail to meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements for those securities. We cannot assure you that any of our ordinary shares or units will be able to meet any of Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements following any shareholder redemptions of our public shares in connection with the amendment of our Articles. If our securities do not meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, Nasdaq may delist our securities from trading on its exchange. Effective September 18, 2023, the Company’s warrants were delisted due to the Company’s failure to maintain a minimum of $1,000,000 in aggregate market value of its outstanding warrants for continued listing under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5452(b)(C).

If Nasdaq delists any of our securities from trading on its exchange and we are not able to list such securities on another national securities exchange, we expect such securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

reduced liquidity for our securities;

a determination that our Class A ordinary shares constitute a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our Class A ordinary shares to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;

a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” Our Class A ordinary shares and units qualify as covered securities under such statute. Although the states are preempted from regulating the sale of covered securities, the federal statute does allow the states to investigate companies if there is a suspicion of fraud, and, if there is a finding of fraudulent activity, then the states can regulate or bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. While we are not aware of a state having used these powers to prohibit or restrict the sale of securities issued by special purpose acquisition companies, certain state securities regulators view blank check companies unfavorably and might use these powers, or threaten to use these powers, to hinder the sale of securities of blank check companies in their states. Further, if we were no longer listed on Nasdaq, our securities would not qualify as covered securities under such statute and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities.

BACKGROUND

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities.

On January 27, 2022, we consummated our IPO of 13,000,000 units (the “units”), with each unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, which we refer to (together with any shares issued in exchange thereof) as the “public shares,” and one-half of one redeemable warrant, generating gross proceeds of $130.0 million.

Simultaneously with the closing of our IPO, we completed the private placement of 7,900,000 private placement warrants, at a purchase price of $1.00 per private placement warrant, to the Old Sponsor, generating gross proceeds to us of $7.9 million. The private placement warrants are identical to the warrants sold as part of the units in our IPO except that, so long as they are held by our Sponsor or its permitted transferees, they (1) may be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis, (2) are not subject to being called for redemption (except in certain circumstances when the public warrants are called for redemption and a certain price per public share threshold is met), (3) subject to certain limited exceptions, will be subject to transfer restrictions until 30 days following the consummation of the our initial business combination and (4) they (including the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise thereof) are entitled to registration rights.

Of the gross proceeds received from our IPO and the sale of the private placement warrants, $132,600,000 was deposited in the Trust Account.

On April 13, 2023, the Company convened an extraordinary general meeting at which the shareholders voted to extend the date by which the Company must complete its Business Combination from April 27, 2023 to November 27, 2023. At that meeting, holders of public shares were afforded the opportunity to require the Company to redeem their public shares for their pro rata share of the Trust Account. Of the 13,000,000 public shares, 7,399,517 were redeemed, leaving 5,600,483 public shares remaining outstanding. Following this redemption, the balance in the Trust Account was approximately $58.6 million.

The proceeds held in the Trust Account may be invested by the trustee only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. As of , 2023, funds held in the Trust Account totaled approximately $ , and were held in U.S. Treasury Bills with a maturity of 185 days or less and in money market funds which invest in U.S. Treasury securities. However, to mitigate the risk of being viewed as operating as an unregistered investment company (including pursuant to the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act), we will, on or prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement relating to our IPO, instruct Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S. government securities or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash until the earlier of consummation of our initial business combination or liquidation. As a result, following such liquidation, we will likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the Trust Account, which would reduce the dollar amount our public shareholders would receive upon any redemption of public shares or liquidation of the Company.

On September 29, 2023, the Company, LatAmGrowth Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Chenghe Investment I Limited, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands entered into the Purchase Agreement, and on October 6, 2023 the Old Sponsor and the New Sponsor consummated the Sponsor Sale pursuant to which the New Sponsor acquired an aggregate of (i) 2,650,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share of the Company and (ii) 7,900,000 warrants to purchase Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share of the Company held by the Old Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00 plus New Sponsor’s agreement to pay Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company $150,000 (a) in extension payments on October [·], 2023 for each extension contribution specified therein ($450,000 in total) and (b) on any other applicable due date in connection with any other extension payments that may become due after the Sponsor Sale, and in accordance with the terms of, the Trust Agreement. Following the completion of the Sponsor Sale, the Old Sponsor owns 600,000 Class B ordinary shares and no Private Placement Warrants.

On the record date of the Extraordinary General Meeting, there were 8,850,483 ordinary shares outstanding, of which 5,600,483 were public shares and 3,250,000 were founder shares. The founder shares carry voting rights in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, and we have been informed by our Sponsor, which holds all of the founder shares, that it intends to vote in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.

Our principal executive offices are located at [address]. Our telephone number at such address is [ ].

THE EXTENSION AMENDMENT PROPOSAL

We are proposing to amend our Articles to extend the date by which we have to consummate a business combination to the Extended Date. A copy of the proposed amendments to the Articles of the Company is attached to this Proxy Statement under the first resolution in Annex A.

Reasons for the Extension Amendment Proposal

Our Articles provide that if our shareholders approve an amendment to our Articles that would affect the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem all of our public shares if we do not consummate our initial business combination before November 27, 2023, we will provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their ordinary shares upon such approval at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares. We believe that this provision of the Articles was included to protect our shareholders from having to sustain their investments for an unreasonably long period if we failed to find a suitable business combination in the timeframe contemplated by the Articles.

The purpose of the Extension Amendment is to allow us more time to enter into and consummate a business combination. The Articles currently provide that we have until November 27, 2023 or such later date as may be approved by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the Articles to consummate our initial business combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, the Articles will be amended to provide that the Combination Period may be extended to Extended Date.

If the Extension Proposal is approved, our Sponsor, or its designees, has agreed to contribute to the Trust Account the lesser of $[·] or $[·] per public share that remains outstanding and is not redeemed in connection with the Extension Amendment per calendar month for each of the seven subsequent calendar months commencing on November 27, 2023, that is needed by us to complete an initial business combination. Accordingly, the amount deposited per share will depend on the number of public shares that remain outstanding after redemptions in connection with the Extension Amendment. For example, if no public shares are redeemed and all of our public shares remain outstanding in connection with the Extension Amendment, then the amount deposited for a one-month period will be $[·]. However, if 30%, or [·] of the public shares remain outstanding after redemptions in connection with the Extension Amendment, then the amount deposited for a one-month period will be approximately $[·]. The contributions are conditioned upon the implementation of the Extension Proposal. The contributions will not occur if the Extension Proposal is not approved or the Extension is not completed.

Our board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to seek an extension of such date and have our shareholders approve the Extension Amendment Proposal to allow for additional time to consider, negotiate and enter into a definitive agreement relating to our initial business combination, to hold an extraordinary general meeting to obtain the shareholder approvals required in connection with a business combination and to consummate the closing of a business combination. Without the Extension, if we are unable to complete a business combination on or before November 27, 2023, we would be precluded from completing our initial business combination and would be forced to liquidate.

Our board currently believes that it is improbable that we will be able to negotiate and complete our initial business combination before November 27, 2023. Accordingly, our board believes that in order for us to potentially consummate an initial business combination, we will need to obtain the Extension. If you do not elect to redeem your public shares, you will retain the right to vote on any proposed initial business combination in the future and the right to redeem your public shares in connection with such initial business combination.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved and we do not consummate our initial business combination by November 27, 2023, as contemplated by our IPO prospectus and in accordance with our Articles, we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (2) and (3), to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, the holder of our founder shares, our Sponsor, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of its ownership of the founder shares.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is Approved

Upon approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal by the requisite number of votes, the amendments to our Articles that are set forth in Annex A hereto will become effective. We will remain a reporting company under the Exchange Act, and our units and public shares will remain publicly traded.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and the Extension is implemented, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account in connection with the Election will reduce the amount held in the Trust Account following the Election. We cannot predict the amount that will remain in the Trust Account if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be only a small fraction of the approximately $ that was in the Trust Account as of , 2023. In such event, we may need to obtain additional funds to consummate our initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on acceptable terms or at all.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved but we do not consummate our initial business combination by the Extended Date (or, if the date by which we have to consummate a business combination is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (2) and (3), to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

We cannot assure you that the per-share distribution from the Trust Account, if we liquidate, will not be less than $10.20 due to unforeseen claims of creditors. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, the holder of our founder shares, our Sponsor, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of its ownership of the founder shares.

The Board’s Recommendation

As discussed above, after careful consideration of all relevant factors, our board has determined that the Extension Amendment is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

The full text of the resolution to be proposed in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal is set out as the first resolution in the amendment to the Articles in the form set forth in Annex A of this Proxy Statement.

Our board unanimously recommends that our shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Extension Amendment.

THE TRUST AMENDMENT PROPOSAL

We are proposing to amend the Trust Agreement as set forth in Annex B of this Proxy Statement. The Company entered into the Trust Agreement in connection with the IPO and a potential business combination. The Trust Amendment would amend the Trust Agreement to authorize the extensions as contemplated by the Extension Amendment Proposal.

Reasons for the Trust Amendment Proposal

The purpose of the Trust Amendment Proposal is to authorize the extensions under the Trust Agreement, as the extensions contemplated by the Extension Amendment Proposal are not contemplated under the Trust Agreement’s current terms. We believe that given the Company’s expenditure of time, effort and money on pursuing an initial business combination, circumstances warrant providing public shareholders an opportunity to consider a business combination. For the Company to implement the Extension Amendment, the Trust Agreement must be amended to authorize the extensions.

If the Trust Amendment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Trust Amendment Proposal is not approved and we do not consummate our initial business combination by November 27, 2023, as contemplated by our IPO prospectus and in accordance with our Articles, the Company will cease operations and liquidate as described above under “If the Extension Amendment Proposal is Not Approved.”

There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, the holder of our founder shares, our Sponsor, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of its ownership of the founder shares.

If the Trust Amendment Proposal is Approved

Upon approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal by the requisite number of votes, the amendments to the Trust Agreement will become effective and the Extension is implemented, as described above under “If the Extension Amendment Proposal is Approved.”

If the Trust Amendment Proposal is approved but we do not consummate our initial business combination by the Extended Date, the Company will cease operations and liquidate as described above under “If the Extension Amendment Proposal is Approved.”

The Board’s Recommendation

As discussed above, after careful consideration of all relevant factors, our board has determined that the Trust Amendment is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

The full text of the Trust Amendment to be proposed in connection with the Trust Amendment Proposal is set out in Annex B of this Proxy Statement.

Our board unanimously recommends that our shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Trust Amendment.

THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

Overview

The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, will allow our board to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates or indefinitely, if necessary or convenient, either (x) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of any of the foregoing proposals or (y) if the holders of public shares have elected to redeem an amount of shares in connection with the Proposals such that the Company would not adhere to the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq.

In no event will our board adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting for more than 30 days.

If the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by our shareholders, our board may not be able to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates in the event that there are insufficient votes to approve the Proposals or if due to redemptions in connection with the Proposals, the Company would not adhere to the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq.

Recommendation of the Board

If presented, our board unanimously recommends that our shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal.

REDEMPTION RIGHTS

Each of our public shareholders may submit an Election to, subject to the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal and the implementation of the Extension, redeem all or a portion of its, his her public shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay taxes, if any, divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares. You will also be able to redeem your public shares in connection with any proposed initial business combination, or if we have not consummated our initial business combination by the Extended Date.

TO DEMAND REDEMPTION, PRIOR TO 5:00 P.M. EASTERN TIME ON , 2023 (TWO BUSINESS DAYS BEFORE THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING), YOU SHOULD ELECT EITHER TO PHYSICALLY TENDER YOUR SHARES (AND/OR DELIVER YOUR SHARE CERTIFICATE(S) (IF ANY) AND OTHER REDEMPTION FORMS) TO OUR TRANSFER AGENT AT CONTINENTAL STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY, 1 STATE STREET 30TH FLOOR, NEW YORK, NEW YORK, 10004, ATTN: SPAC REDEMPTION TEAM, SPACREDEMPTIONS@CONTINENTALSTOCK.COM, OR TO TENDER YOUR SHARES (AND/OR DELIVER YOUR SHARE CERTIFICATE(S) (IF ANY) AND OTHER REDEMPTION FORMS) TO OUR TRANSFER AGENT ELECTRONICALLY USING DTC’S DWAC (DEPOSIT/WITHDRAWAL AT CUSTODIAN), WHICH ELECTION WOULD LIKELY BE DETERMINED BASED ON THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU HOLD YOUR SHARES. YOU SHOULD ENSURE THAT YOUR BANK OR BROKER COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIREMENTS IDENTIFIED ELSEWHERE HEREIN.

Through the DWAC system, this electronic delivery process can be accomplished by the shareholder, whether or not such shareholder is a record holder or its, his or her shares are held in “street name,” by contacting our transfer agent or the shareholder’s broker and requesting delivery of its, his or her shares through the DWAC system. Delivering shares physically may take significantly longer. In order to obtain a physical share certificate, a shareholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC, and our transfer agent will need to act together to facilitate this request. There is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. Our transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $100 and the broker would determine whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming holder. It is our understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from our transfer agent. We do not have any control over this process or over the brokers or DTC, and it may take longer than two weeks to obtain a physical share certificate. Such shareholders will have less time to make their investment decisions than those shareholders that tender their shares through the DWAC system.

Shareholders who request physical share certificates and wish to redeem may be unable to meet the deadline for tendering their shares before exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.

Certificates that have not been tendered in accordance with these procedures prior to the vote on the Proposals at the Extraordinary General Meeting will not be redeemed for cash held in the Trust Account on the redemption date. In the event that a public shareholder tenders its, his or her shares and decides prior to the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting that it, he or she does not want to redeem such shares, the shareholder may withdraw the tender. If you tender your ordinary shares (and/or delivered your share certificate(s) (if any) and other redemption forms) for redemption to our transfer agent and decide prior to the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting not to redeem your shares, you may request that our transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting our transfer agent at the address listed above. Any request for redemption, once made by a holder of public shares, may not be withdrawn once submitted to us unless our board determines (in its sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which it may do in whole or in part). In the event that a public shareholder tenders shares and the Proposals are not approved, such shares will not be redeemed and will be returned (along with any applicable share certificates) to the shareholder promptly following the determination that the Proposals will not be approved. Our transfer agent will hold any share certificates of public shareholders that make the Election until such shares are redeemed for cash or returned to such shareholders.

If properly demanded, we will redeem each public share for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes, if any, divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares. Based upon the amount in the Trust Account as of , 2023, which was approximately $ , we anticipate that the per-share price at which public shares will be redeemed from cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately $ at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting. The closing price of the public shares on Nasdaq on , 2023, the most recent practicable closing price prior to the mailing of this Proxy Statement, was $ .. We cannot assure shareholders that they will be able to sell their shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in our securities when such shareholders wish to sell their shares.

If you exercise your redemption rights, you will be exchanging your ordinary shares for cash and will no longer own the shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly demand redemption and tender your ordinary shares (and/or deliver your share certificate(s) (if any) and other redemption forms) to our transfer agent prior to the vote on the Extension Amendment Proposal at the Extraordinary General Meeting. We anticipate that a public shareholder who tenders ordinary shares (and/or deliver share certificate(s) (if any) and other redemption forms) for redemption in connection with the vote to approve the Proposals would receive payment of the redemption price for such shares soon after the effectiveness of the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR SHAREHOLDERS MAKING THE ELECTION

The following is a discussion of U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to U.S. Holders (as defined below) that make the Election if the Extension is implemented. This discussion applies only to public shares that are held as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment).

This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), proposed, temporary and final Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code, and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, all as of the date hereof. All of the foregoing is subject to change, which change could apply retroactively and could adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion. This discussion does not address U.S. federal taxes other than those pertaining to U.S. federal income taxation (such as estate or gift taxes, the alternative minimum tax or the Medicare tax on investment income), nor does it address any aspects of U.S. state or local or non-U.S. taxation. This discussion does not describe all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a particular holder in light of their particular circumstances or status, including:

our Sponsor or our directors and officers;

financial institutions or financial services entities;

broker-dealers;

taxpayers that are subject to the mark-to-market method of accounting;

tax-exempt entities;

governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

insurance companies;

regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;

expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;

persons that actually or constructively own five percent or more of our voting shares or five percent or more of the total value of all classes of our shares;

persons that acquired ordinary shares pursuant to an exercise of employee share options or upon payout of a restricted share unit, in connection with employee share incentive plans or otherwise as compensation or in connection with the performance of services;

persons that hold public shares as part of a straddle, constructive sale, hedging, conversion or other integrated or similar transaction;

persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

controlled foreign corporations;

We have not sought, and do not intend to seek, any rulings from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) regarding the exercise of redemption rights. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not take positions inconsistent with the considerations discussed below or that any such positions would not be sustained by a court.

This discussion does not consider the tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold our securities through such entities. If a partnership (or any entity or arrangement so characterized for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds public shares, the tax treatment of such partnership and a person treated as a partner of such partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding any public shares and persons that are treated as partners of such partnerships should consult their tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Election to them.

THIS DISCUSSION IS NOT TAX ADVICE AND IS ONLY A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH MAKING THE ELECTION. EACH HOLDER OF PUBLIC SHARES SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR APPLICATION OF TAX LAWS TO SUCH HOLDER AND THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH HOLDER OF MAKING THE ELECTION, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.

For purposes of this discussion, because any unit consisting of one public share and one-half of one warrant is separable at the option of the holder, we are treating each public share and one-half of one warrant held by a holder in the form of a single unit as separate instruments and are assuming that the unit itself will not be treated as an integrated instrument. Accordingly, consistent with the foregoing treatment, the cancellation or separation of the units in connection with the exercise of redemption rights pursuant to the Election generally should not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This position is not free from doubt, and no assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a contrary position.

U.S. Holders

As used herein, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of public shares who or that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

an individual citizen or resident of the United States,

a corporation (or other entity that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is created or organized (or treated as created or organized) in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia,

an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source, or

a trust if (i) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U.S. persons (within the meaning of the Code) have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) it has a valid election in place to be treated as a U.S. person.

Redemption of Public Shares

In addition to the passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) considerations discussed below under “—PFIC Considerations,” the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the redemption of a U.S. Holder’s public shares pursuant to the Election will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of such shares redeemed under Section 302 of the Code or is treated as a distribution under Section 301 of the Code.

If the redemption qualifies as a sale of public shares under Section 302 of the Code, a U.S. Holder will be treated as described below under the section entitled “—Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Public Shares.” If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of public shares under Section 302 of the Code, a U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a distribution with the tax consequences described below under the section entitled “—Taxation of Distributions.”

The redemption of public shares will generally qualify as a sale of the public shares that are redeemed if such redemption (i) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the redeeming U.S. Holder, (ii) results in a “complete termination” of such U.S. Holder’s interest or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to such U.S. Holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

For purposes of such tests, a U.S. Holder takes into account not only ordinary shares actually owned by such U.S. Holder, but also ordinary shares that are constructively owned by such U.S. Holder. A redeeming U.S. Holder may constructively own, in addition to ordinary shares owned directly, ordinary shares owned by certain related individuals and entities in which such U.S. Holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. Holder, as well as any ordinary shares such U.S. Holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include shares which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the warrants.

The redemption of ordinary shares will generally be “substantially disproportionate” with respect to a redeeming U.S. Holder if the percentage of the relevant entity’s outstanding voting shares that such U.S. Holder actually or constructively owns immediately after the redemption is less than 80% of the percentage of the relevant entity’s outstanding voting shares that such U.S. Holder actually or constructively owned immediately before the redemption. Prior to an initial business combination, the public shares may not be treated as voting shares for this purpose and, consequently, this substantially disproportionate test may not be applicable. There will be a complete termination of such U.S. Holder’s interest if either (i) all of the ordinary shares actually or constructively owned by such U.S. Holder are redeemed or (ii) all of the ordinary shares actually owned by such U.S. Holder are redeemed and such U.S. Holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of ordinary shares owned by certain family members and such U.S. Holder does not constructively own any other ordinary shares (including any public shares constructively owned by the U.S. Holder as a result of owning warrants). The redemption of public shares will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if it results in a “meaningful reduction” of such U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in the relevant entity. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in such U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest will depend on the particular facts and circumstances applicable to it. The IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority shareholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.”

If none of the foregoing tests are satisfied, then the redemption of public shares will be treated as a distribution to the redeemed holder and the tax effects to such U.S. holder will be as described below under the section entitled “—Taxation of Distributions.”

U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption, including any special reporting requirements.

Taxation of Distributions

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below under “—PFIC Considerations,” if the redemption of a U.S. Holder’s public shares is treated as a distribution, as discussed above, such distribution will generally be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Such dividends will be taxable to a corporate U.S. Holder at regular rates and will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally allowed to domestic corporations in respect of dividends received from other domestic corporations.

With respect to non-corporate U.S. Holders, dividends will generally be taxed at preferential long-term capital gains rates only if (i) public shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States or (ii) public shares are eligible for the benefits of an applicable income tax treaty, in each case, provided that the Company is not treated as a PFIC in the taxable year in which the dividend was paid or in any previous year and certain holding period and other requirements are met. Because we believe that we were a PFIC for our prior taxable years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, the lower applicable long-term capital gains rate may not apply to any redemption proceeds treated as a distribution (subject to whether we may qualify for the start-up exception as discussed below in “—PFIC Considerations”).

Moreover, it is unclear whether redemption rights with respect to the public shares may prevent the holding period of such shares from commencing prior to the termination of such rights. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the lower rate for any redemption treated as a dividend with respect to public shares.

Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will generally constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our public shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the public shares and will be treated as described below under the section entitled “—Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Public Shares.” After the application of those rules, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. Holder in the redeemed public shares will be added to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining public shares, or, if it has none, to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its warrants or possibly in other shares constructively owned by it. Because we may not maintain calculations of earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles, it is expected that the full amount of distributions (if any) paid by us will be reported as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Public Shares

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below under “—PFIC Considerations,” if the redemption of a U.S. Holder’s public shares is treated as a sale or other taxable disposition, as discussed above, a U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount of cash received in such redemption and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the public shares redeemed. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its ordinary shares generally will equal the U.S. Holder’s acquisition cost (that is, the portion of the purchase price of a unit allocated to a public share or the U.S. Holder’s initial basis for the public shares received upon exercise of a whole warrant) less any prior distributions treated as a return of capital.

Under tax law currently in effect, long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders are generally subject to U.S. federal income tax at a reduced rate of tax. Capital gain or loss will constitute long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the ordinary shares exceeds one year. If the running of the holding period for the public shares is suspended, then non-corporate U.S. Holders may not be able to satisfy the one-year holding period requirement for long-term capital gain treatment, in which case any gain on a sale or taxable disposition of the shares would be subject to short-term capital gain treatment and would be taxed at regular ordinary income tax rates. However, it is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the public shares described in this Proxy Statement may prevent the holding period of the public shares from commencing prior to the termination of such rights. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to various limitations. U.S. Holders who hold different blocks of public shares (public shares purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisor to determine how the above rules apply to them.

PFIC Considerations

The treatment of U.S. Holders of public shares could be materially different from that described above if we are or were treated as a PFIC under U.S. federal income tax principles.

In general, a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for any taxable year in which (i) 50% or more of the value of its assets (generally determined on the basis of a weighted quarterly value of such assets) consists of assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income, or (ii) 75% or more of its gross income consists of passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents, investment gains, net gains from the sales of property that does not give rise to any income and net gains from the sale of commodities (subject to certain exceptions, such as an exception for certain income derived in the active conduct of a trade or business). Cash and cash equivalents are passive assets. For purposes of the PFIC rules, a non-U.S. corporation that owns, directly or indirectly, at least 25% by value of the stock of another corporation is treated as if it held its proportionate share of the assets of the other corporation and received directly its proportionate share of the income of the other corporation.

We believe that we were a PFIC for our prior taxable years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022. However, pursuant to a start-up exception, a corporation will not be a PFIC for the first taxable year the corporation has gross income (the “start-up year”), if (1) no predecessor of the corporation was a PFIC; (2) the corporation satisfies the IRS that it will not be a PFIC for either of the two taxable years following the start-up year; and (3) the corporation is not in fact a PFIC for either of those years (the “start-up exception”). The year in which we first had gross income was our taxable year ended December 31, 2022, and thus if we satisfy the start-up exception we believe that we will not be a PFIC for our taxable year ended December 31, 2022. However, the applicability of the start-up exception to us is uncertain and will not be known until after the close of our current taxable year (or possibly not until after the close of the first two taxable years following our start-up year, as described under the start-up exception). Because we are a blank check company, with no current active business, we believe that it is likely that we will meet the PFIC asset or income test for our current taxable year if we do not consummate a business combination in such year, and as such we believe we will not satisfy the start-up exception if no business combination is consummated in our current taxable year. Additionally, it may be possible that we could be treated as a PFIC for a taxable year prior to the taxable year which is treated as our start-up year (within the meaning of the start-up exception). Further, it is possible that the IRS will take the position that the start-up exception does not apply to our taxable year ended December 31, 2022, based on the view, consistent with a 2002 Field Service Advisory, that we were a PFIC for the taxable year ended December 31, 2021, despite the fact that we had no gross income in such taxable year. Moreover, because PFIC status is an annual factual determination, we may become a PFIC in the future if the composition of our income or assets were to change, regardless of whether we are a PFIC in our current taxable year or the start-up exception applies.

Our PFIC status for our current taxable year ending December 31, 2023, depends in part on whether we complete a business combination prior to the end of such year, as well as the timing and specifics of any such business combination and the composition of our assets and income after such business combination. Because these and other facts on which any determination of PFIC status are based may not be known until the close of our current taxable year, there can be no assurances with respect to our PFIC status for such year and as such there can also be no assurances with respect to the application of the start-up exception to our taxable year ending December 31, 2022. Even if we are not a PFIC for our current taxable year, a determination that we were a PFIC for any prior taxable year will continue to apply to any U.S. Holders who held our securities during such prior taxable years, absent certain elections described below.

If we are determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in a U.S. Holder’s holding period for public shares and the U.S. Holder did not make a timely and effective “qualified electing fund” election for each of our taxable years as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) public shares (“QEF Election”), a QEF Election along with a purging election, or a ”mark-to-market” election, then such U.S. Holder will generally be subject to special and adverse rules (the “Default PFIC Regime”) with respect to:

any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its public shares; and

any “excess distribution” made to the U.S. Holder (generally, any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a taxable year of the U.S. Holder that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of its ordinary shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter, such U.S. Holder’s holding period for such public shares).

Under the Default PFIC Regime:

the U.S. Holder’s gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for its public shares;

the amount of gain allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. Holder recognized the gain or received the excess distribution, or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of the first taxable year in which we are a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income;

the amount of gain allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in such U.S. Holder’s holding period will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder without regard to such U.S. Holder’s other items of income and loss for such taxable year; and

an additional tax equal to the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the U.S. Holder in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of such U.S. Holder.

Pursuant to these rules, subject to the discussion under “—QEF Elections” and “—Mark-to-Market Elections” below, if we are determined to be a PFIC, any income or gain recognized by a U.S. Holder pursuant to the Election would generally be subject to the special and adverse tax rules described above.

QEF Elections

In general, a U.S. Holder of public shares may avoid certain of the adverse PFIC tax consequences described above in respect of the public shares by making and maintaining a timely and valid QEF Election for the first taxable year in which we were treated as a PFIC that is included in the U.S. Holder’s holding period for its public shares, pursuant to which such electing U.S. Holder would be required to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains as long-term capital gains and other earnings and profits as ordinary income on a current basis, in each case, whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends.

Additionally, a U.S. Holder generally may make a separate election to defer the payment of taxes on undistributed income inclusions under the QEF rules, but if deferred, any such taxes will be subject to an interest charge. A QEF Election is made on a shareholder-by-shareholder basis and, once made, can be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. A U.S. Holder generally makes a QEF Election by attaching a completed IRS Form 8621 (Information Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund), including the information provided in a PFIC Annual Information Statement, to a timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the tax year to which the election relates. Retroactive QEF Elections generally may be made only by filing a protective statement with such return and if certain other conditions are met or with the consent of the IRS. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a retroactive QEF Election under their particular circumstances.

To comply with the requirements of a QEF Election, a U.S. Holder must receive a “PFIC Annual Information Statement” from us. However, there is no assurance that we will have timely knowledge of our status as a PFIC in the future or of the required information to be provided. Alternatively, if we are a PFIC in a taxable year and if the U.S. Holder does not make and maintain a timely and valid QEF Election for the first taxable year in which we are treated as a PFIC that is included in the U.S. Holder’s holding period for its public shares, the U.S. Holder may avoid certain of the adverse PFIC tax consequences described above in respect of public shares by making a timely and valid QEF Election for a subsequent year, along with a “purging election” with respect to its shares. Under one type of purging election, the U.S. Holder will be deemed to have sold such shares at their fair market value and any gain recognized on such deemed sale will be treated as an “excess distribution,” as described above. As a result of this election, the U.S. Holder will have additional basis (to the extent of any gain recognized in the deemed sale) and, solely for purposes of the PFIC rules, a new holding period in such holder’s public shares.

In addition, a U.S. Holder may not make a QEF Election with respect to its warrants to acquire public shares. As a result, if a U.S. Holder sells or otherwise disposes of such warrants (other than upon exercise of such warrants) and we were a PFIC at any time during the U.S. Holder’s holding period of such warrants, proposed Treasury regulations would provide that any gain generally will be treated as an excess distribution, taxed as described above. If a U.S. Holder that exercises such warrants properly makes a QEF Election with respect to the newly acquired public shares (or has a properly maintained QEF Election in effect with respect to its public shares), the QEF Election will apply to the newly acquired public shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the adverse tax consequences relating to shares in a PFIC, adjusted to take into account the current income inclusions resulting from the QEF Election, may continue to apply with respect to such newly acquired public shares (which may be deemed to have a holding period for purposes of the PFIC rules that includes all or a portion of the period the U.S. Holder held the warrants), unless the U.S. Holder makes a purging election (discussed above). As a result of a purging election, the U.S. Holder will have a new basis and holding period in the public shares acquired upon the exercise of the warrants for purposes of the PFIC rules.

Mark-to-Market Elections

Alternatively, if we are a PFIC and if the public shares are “regularly traded” on a “qualified exchange,” a U.S. Holder could make a mark-to-market election that would result in tax treatment different from the general tax treatment for PFICs described above. The public shares will be treated as regularly traded for any calendar year in which more than a de minimis quantity of public shares are traded on a qualified exchange on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter. The Nasdaq, where the public shares are listed, is a qualified exchange for this purpose. If a U.S. Holder of public shares makes the mark-to-market election, the U.S. Holder generally will recognize as ordinary income any excess of the fair market value of the public shares at the end of each taxable year over their adjusted tax basis, and will recognize an ordinary loss in respect of any excess of the adjusted tax basis of the public shares over their fair market value at the end of the taxable year, but only to the extent of the net amount of income previously included as a result of the mark-to-market election. If a U.S. Holder makes the mark-to-market election, the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the public shares will be adjusted to reflect the income or loss amounts recognized. Any gain recognized on the sale or other disposition of public shares in a year in which we are a PFIC will be treated as ordinary income and any loss will be treated as an ordinary loss (but only to the extent of the net amount of income previously included as a result of the mark-to-market election, with any excess treated as a capital loss). If a U.S. Holder makes the mark-to-market election, distributions paid on public shares will be treated as discussed under “—Taxation of Distributions” above. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability and advisability of making a mark-to-market election in their particular circumstances. U.S. Holders should note that there is no provision in the Code, Treasury regulations or other official IRS guidance that would give them the right to make a mark-to-market election with respect to any entity in which we own interests that is also a PFIC (a “Lower-tier PFIC”), the shares of which are not regularly traded, and, therefore, the general rules applicable to ownership of a PFIC described above could continue to apply to a U.S. Holder with respect to any Lower-tier PFIC, even if the U.S. Holder made a mark-to-market election with respect to its public shares. Currently, a mark-to-market election may not be made with respect to our warrants.

PFIC Filing Requirements

If we are PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder owns (or is deemed to own) any public shares, subject to certain limited exceptions set forth in applicable Treasury regulations, the U.S. Holder will be required to file annual reports (such as an IRS Form 8621, whether or not a QEF or mark-to-market election is made) with the IRS with respect to us and any Lower-tier PFIC.

THE PFIC RULES ARE VERY COMPLEX AND ARE IMPACTED BY VARIOUS FACTORS IN ADDITION TO THOSE DESCRIBED ABOVE. ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF THE PFIC RULES TO THE REDEMPTION OF PUBLIC SHARES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WHETHER A QEF ELECTION, A PURGING ELECTION, A MARK-TO-MARKET ELECTION, OR ANY OTHER ELECTION IS AVAILABLE AND THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF MAKING OR HAVING MADE ANY SUCH ELECTION, AND THE IMPACT OF ANY PROPOSED OR FINAL PFIC TREASURY REGULATIONS.

Non-U.S. Holders

Generally

For purposes of this discussion, a “Non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of public shares that is neither a “U.S. person” nor an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Regardless of whether the redemption is treated as a sale of public shares or as a corporate distribution on the public shares for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the redemption is not expected to result in any U.S. federal income tax consequences to the Non-U.S. Holder unless such Non-U.S. Holder holds such public shares in connection with a conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such Non-U.S. Holder maintains in the United States). If the public shares are so attributable, then the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a Non-U.S. Holder of public shares that makes the Election will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of the public shares redeemed, as described above.

If a Non-U.S. Holder that holds its public shares in connection with a conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base that such Non-U.S. Holder maintains in the United States) makes the Election, it will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the same regular U.S. federal income tax rates applicable to a comparable U.S. Holder and, in the case of a Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, may also be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate or a lower applicable tax treaty rate.

Backup Withholding

In general, proceeds received from the exercise of redemption rights will be subject to backup withholding for a non-corporate U.S. Holder that:

fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number;

is notified by the IRS regarding a failure to report all interest or dividends required to be shown on his or her federal income tax returns; or

in certain circumstances, fails to comply with applicable certification requirements.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amount withheld under these rules will be creditable against the U.S. Holder’s federal income tax liability or refundable to the extent that it exceeds this liability, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS and other applicable requirements are met.

AS PREVIOUSLY NOTED ABOVE, THE FOREGOING DISCUSSION OF CERTAIN MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT INTENDED TO BE, AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS, LEGAL OR TAX ADVICE TO ANY HOLDER. WE URGE YOU TO CONSULT WITH YOUR TAX ADVISER TO DETERMINE THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU (INCLUDING THE APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF ANY U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN INCOME OR OTHER TAX LAWS) OF THE RECEIPT OF CASH IN EXCHANGE FOR SHARES IN THE CONNECTION WITH THE EXTENSION AMENDMENT PROPOSAL AND ANY REDEMPTION OF YOUR PUBLIC SHARES.

Our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates may purchase public shares or warrants in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market either prior to or following the completion of our initial business combination. Additionally, subject to applicable securities laws (including with respect to material nonpublic information), our Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates may enter into transactions with investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire public shares, vote their public shares in favor of our initial business combination or not redeem their public shares. However, they have no current commitments, plans or intentions to engage in such transactions and have not formulated any terms or conditions for any such transactions. None of the funds held in the trust account will be used to purchase public shares or warrants in such transactions. If they engage in such transactions, they will be restricted from making any such purchases when they are in possession of any material nonpublic information not disclosed to the seller or if such purchases are prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act. We do not currently anticipate that such purchases, if any, would constitute a tender offer subject to the tender offer rules under the Exchange Act or a going-private transaction subject to the going-private rules under the Exchange Act; however, if the purchasers determine at the time of any such purchases that the purchases are subject to such rules, the purchasers will comply with such rules. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements.

Additionally, in the event our New Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates were to purchase shares or warrants from public shareholders such purchases would be structured in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act including, in pertinent part, through adherence to the following:

our registration statement/proxy statement filed for our business combination transaction would disclose the possibility that our New Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates may purchase shares, rights or warrants from public shareholders outside the redemption process, along with the purpose of such purchases;

if our New Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates were to purchase shares or warrants from public shareholders, they would do so at a price no higher than the price offered through our redemption process;

our registration statement/proxy statement filed for our business combination transaction would include a representation that any of our securities purchased by our New Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates would not be voted in favor of approving the business combination transaction;

our New Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates would not possess any redemption rights with respect to our securities or, if they do acquire and possess redemption rights, they would waive such rights; and

we would disclose in a Form 8-K, before our security holder meeting to approve the business combination transaction, the following material items:

⮚

the amount of our securities purchased outside of the redemption offer by our New Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates, along with the purchase price;

⮚

the purpose of the purchases by our New Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates;

⮚

the impact, if any, of the purchases by our New Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates on the likelihood that the business combination transaction will be approved;

⮚

the identities of our security holders who sold to our New Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of our security holders (e.g., 5% security holders) who sold to our New Sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates; and

⮚

the number of our securities for which we have received redemption requests pursuant to our redemption offer.

The purpose of any such transaction could be to (1) increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the Proposals, (2) increase the likelihood of obtaining shareholder approval of the business combination, (3) reduce the number of public warrants outstanding and/or increase the likelihood of approval on any matters submitted to the public warrant holders for approval in connection with our initial business combination or (4) satisfy a closing condition in an agreement with a target that requires us to have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash at the closing of our initial business combination, where it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. Any such purchases of our securities may result in the completion of our initial business combination that may not otherwise have been possible. In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of our securities may be reduced and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, which may make it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.

Interests of our Sponsor, Directors and Officers

When you consider the recommendation of our board, you should keep in mind that our Sponsor, directors and officers have interests that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

If the Proposals are not approved and we do not consummate our initial business combination by November 27, 2023, or by the Extended Date (or, if the date by which we have to consummate a business combination is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), we will: (1) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (2) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any); and (3) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (2) and (3), to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In such event, the founder shares, which are owned by our Sponsor, would be worthless because following the redemption of the public shares, we would likely have few, if any, net assets and because the holder of our founder shares has agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the founder shares if we fail to consummate our initial business combination within the required period.

In addition, simultaneously with the closing of our IPO, we sold an aggregate of 7,900,000 private placement warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant in private placement transactions to our Old Sponsor which are now held by our New Sponsor. The private placement warrants are each exercisable for one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share. If we do not consummate our initial business combination by November 27, 2023, or by the Extended Date (or, if the date by which we have to consummate a business combination is further extended at a duly called extraordinary general meeting, such later date), then the proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants will be part of the liquidating distribution to the public shareholders and the warrants held by our New Sponsor will be worthless.

Our directors and executive officers may continue to be directors and officers of any acquired business after the consummation of an initial business combination. As such, in the future, if they continue as directors and officers following such initial business combination, our directors and executive officers will receive any cash fees, share options or share awards that a post-business combination board of directors determines to pay to its directors and officers.

In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the New Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party (other than our independent auditors) for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.20 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.20 per public share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay our tax obligations, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business that executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account, nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriter of our IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, we have not asked the New Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether the New Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and we believe that the New Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the New Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of the ordinary shares as of , 2023, based on information obtained from the persons named below, with respect to the beneficial ownership of shares of the ordinary shares, by:

each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our Class A ordinary shares or Class B ordinary shares;

each of our executive officers and directors; and

all our executive officers and directors as a group.

Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all of our ordinary shares beneficially owned by them. The following table does not reflect record or beneficial ownership of the private placement warrants as these warrants are not exercisable within 60 days of , 2023.

The percentages in the following table assume that there are 8,850,483 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, of which 5,600,483 are Class A ordinary shares and 3,250,000 are Class B ordinary shares.

(1)	Unless otherwise noted, the business address of each of the following entities or individuals is c/o Chenghe Investment I Limited, [address].
(2)	Interests shown consist solely of founder shares, classified as Class B ordinary shares. Such shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of our initial business combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment.
(3)	Chenghe Investment I Limited, our New Sponsor, is the record holder of such shares and is [describe ownership].
(4)	LatAmGrowth Sponsor LLC, our Old Sponsor, is the record holder of such shares and is controlled by a board of managers initially consisting of Gerard Cremoux, Eduardo Cortina and Gerardo Mendoza. Each manager of LatAmGrowth Sponsor LLC has one vote, and the approval of two of the three members of the board of managers is required to approve an action of LatAmGrowth Sponsor LLC. Under the so-called “rule of three,” if voting and dispositive decisions regarding an entity’s securities are made by two or more individuals, and a voting and dispositive decision requires the approval of a majority of those individuals, then none of the individuals is deemed a beneficial owner of the entity’s securities. This is the situation with regard to LatAmGrowth Sponsor LLC. Based upon the foregoing analysis, no individual manager of LatAmGrowth Sponsor LLC exercises voting or dispositive control over any of the securities held by LatAmGrowth Sponsor LLC even those in which he directly holds a pecuniary interest. Accordingly, none of them will be deemed to have or share beneficial ownership of such shares and, for the avoidance of doubt, each expressly disclaims any such beneficial interest to the extent of any pecuniary interest he may have therein, directly or indirectly.

HOUSEHOLDING INFORMATION

Unless we have received contrary instructions, we may send a single copy of this Proxy Statement to any household at which two or more shareholders reside if we believe the shareholders are members of the same family. This process, known as “householding,” reduces the volume of duplicate information received at any one household and helps to reduce our expenses. However, if shareholders prefer to receive multiple sets of our disclosure documents at the same address this year or in future years, the shareholders should follow the instructions described below. Similarly, if an address is shared with another shareholder and together both of the shareholders would like to receive only a single set of our disclosure documents, the shareholders should follow these instructions:

if the shares are registered in the name of the shareholder, the shareholder should contact us at our offices at [address] to inform us of the shareholder’s request; or

if a bank, broker or other nominee holds the shares, the shareholder should contact the bank, broker or other nominee directly.

FUTURE SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved and the Extension is implemented, we anticipate that we will hold another extraordinary general meeting before the Extended Date to consider and vote upon approval of our initial business combination and other related matters. Accordingly, if we consummate a business combination within the required timeframe, the Company’s next annual general meeting of shareholders will be held at a future date to be determined by the post-business combination company. If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved, or if they are approved but we do not consummate a business combination before the Extended Date, the Company will dissolve and liquidate and there will be no annual general meeting.
