two (NYSE: TWOA) (“TWOA”), a
special purpose acquisition company, and LatAm Logistic Properties
S.A. (d/b/a
LatAm Logistic Properties) (“LLP”), a
leading developer, owner, and manager of institutional quality,
class A industrial and logistics real estate in Central and South
America, have entered into a definitive business combination
agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which
LLP would become publicly listed on a U.S. stock exchange.
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, each of LLP and
TWOA will merge with newly-formed subsidiaries of a to-be-formed
holding company (“Pubco”) and Pubco will be the parent company of
each of the Company and LLP following the consummation of the
Business Combination. Upon the closing of the transactions
contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Business
Combination”), the ordinary shares of Pubco are expected to be
listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the new ticker
symbol “LLP”. The Business Combination is expected to close in the
fourth quarter of 2023, subject to regulatory and both companies’
shareholder approvals, among other customary closing
conditions.
LLP is one of the only vertically integrated logistics real
estate platforms operating across Central and South America. LLP’s
portfolio consists of approximately 4.8 million square feet of
operating gross leasable area ("GLA") across a network of 28
facilities in Costa Rica, Colombia, and Peru, primarily located in
high-growth consumption centers with high barriers to entry. LLP’s
properties are designed and developed to offer greater
accessibility, security, and maximum optionality, which provides
cost efficiencies for its multi-national and regional customers.
With modern specifications, LLP is able to drive operational
efficiencies in parallel with technology advancements for timely
delivery of goods, implementing forward-thinking operational
processes that provide clients with best-in-class service.
Additionally, LLP’s properties comply with the highest standards of
environmental sustainability with EDGE certifications, a green
building standard sponsored by the International Finance
Corporation.
“We believe LLP’s combination with TWOA is a transformational
event that will position LLP to realize the massive opportunities
driven by the increased demand for logistics real estate across
Central and South America,” said Esteban Saldarriaga, CEO of LLP.
“LLP’s well-established track-record of developing modern class A
facilities in a cost-efficient manner provides a unique competitive
advantage to meet the new demand created by nearshoring and
e-commerce. We are excited to enter this next phase in our history
through the transaction with TWOA, which will allow us to further
capitalize on the macro tailwinds benefiting logistics warehouse
facilities. We expect to continue building out our strong platform
across existing and new adjacent geographies with US dollar
denominated markets. We believe a NYSE listing will enable us to
secure access to resources to fund these growth opportunities and
position LLP for the future.”
Thomas D. Hennessy, Chairman and CEO of TWOA, commented:
“Industrial real estate continues to attract significant capital
inflows due to the macroeconomic tailwinds supporting logistics and
distribution demand. As one of the only vertically integrated
logistics operating platforms in its regions, LLP is a dominant
player in Central and South America. LLP’s class A US institutional
asset quality, predictable cash flows, growth prospects, and
management team’s strong track record offer a compelling
opportunity. We are thrilled to partner with LLP and enter into
this business combination.”
Upon closing of the Business Combination, the senior leadership
of Pubco will consist of Thomas McDonald, as Chairman; Esteban
Saldarriaga, as CEO; and Annette Fernández, as CFO.
Transaction Terms & FinancingThe combined
company will have an estimated post-transaction enterprise value of
$578 million, based on a pre-money equity value of LLP of $286
million, with a minimum of $25 million in net cash proceeds from
the Business Combination and assuming 70% redemptions by TWOA's
existing public shareholders. Net proceeds raised from the Business
Combination will be used to fund future growth opportunities.
The Business Combination Agreement has been unanimously approved
by the Boards of Directors of both LLP and TWOA.

Agreement, as well as a supplemental investor presentation, please

contains certain forward-looking information with respect to the
Business Combination, which may not be included in future public
filings or investor guidance. The inclusion of financial statements
or metrics in this communication should not be construed as a
commitment by LLP, Pubco or TWOA to provide guidance on such
information in the future. Certain statements in this communication
may be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of
federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements include,
without limitation, statements about future events or LLP’s, TWOA’s
or Pubco’s future financial or operating performance. For example,
statements regarding anticipated growth in the industry in which
LLP operates and anticipated growth in demand for LLP’s products
and solutions, the anticipated size of LLP’s addressable market and
other metrics, statements regarding the benefits of the Business
Combination, and the anticipated timing of the completion of the
Business Combination are forward-looking statements. In some cases,
you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as
“pro forma,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,”
“project,” “strive,” “budget,” “forecast,” “expect,” “intend,”
“will,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “predict,” “potential”
or “continue,” or the negatives of these terms or variations of
them or similar terminology.
These forward-looking statements regarding future events and the
future results of LLP, Pubco and TWOA are based on current
expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about the
industry in which LLP operates, as well as the beliefs and
assumptions of LLP’s management. These forward-looking statements
are only predictions and are subject to known and unknown risks,
uncertainties, assumptions and other factors beyond LLP’s, Pubco’s
or TWOA’s control that are difficult to predict because they relate
to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the
future. They are neither statements of historical fact nor promises
or guarantees of future performance. Therefore, LLP’s and Pubco’s
actual results may differ materially and adversely from those
expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements and LLP,
Pubco and Two therefore cautions against relying on any of these
forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and
assumptions that, while considered reasonable by LLP and its
management, TWOA and its management, and Pubco and its management,
as the case may be, are inherently uncertain and are inherently
subject to risks variability and contingencies, many of which are
beyond LLP’s, TWOA’s or Pubco’s control. Factors that may cause
actual results to differ materially from current expectations
include, but are not limited to: (i) the occurrence of any event,
change or other circumstances that could give rise to the
termination of negotiations and any subsequent definitive
agreements with respect to the Business Combination; (ii) the
outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against
LLP, TWOA, Pubco or others following the announcement of the
Business Combination and any definitive agreements with respect
thereto; (iii) the inability to complete the Business Combination
due to the failure to obtain consents and approvals of the
shareholders of TWOA, to obtain financing to complete the Business
Combination or to satisfy other conditions to closing, or delays in
obtaining, adverse conditions contained in, or the inability to
obtain necessary regulatory approvals required to complete the
transactions contemplated by the business combination agreement;
(iv) changes to the proposed structure of the Business Combination
that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws
or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval
of the Business Combination; (v) LLP’s and Pubco’s ability to
manage growth; (vi) the ability to meet stock exchange listing
standards following the consummation of the Business Combination;
(vii) the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans
and operations of LLP as a result of the announcement and
consummation of the Business Combination; (viii) the ability to
recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination,
which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the
ability of Pubco or LLP to grow and manage growth profitably,
maintain key relationships and retain its management and key
employees; (ix) costs related to the Business Combination; (x)
changes in applicable laws, regulations, political and economic
developments; (xi) the possibility that LLP or Pubco may be
adversely affected by other economic, business and/or competitive
factors; (xii) LLP’s estimates of expenses and profitability; and
(xiii) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the filings by
TWOA or Pubco with the SEC. There may be additional risks that
neither LLP nor TWOA presently know or that LLP and TWOA currently
believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to
differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Any
forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of LLP, TWOA or
Pubco speak only as of the date they are made. None of LLP, Pubco
or TWOA undertakes any obligation to update any forward-looking
statements to reflect any changes in their respective expectations
with regard thereto or any changes in events, conditions or
circumstances on which any such statement is based. Accordingly,
attendees and recipients should not place undue reliance on
forward-looking statements due to their inherent uncertainty.
Nothing in this communication should be regarded as a
representation by any person that the forward-looking statements
set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated
results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You
should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements,
which speak only as of the date they are made.
