\nProcaps Group (as defined below), a leading integrated international healthcare and pharmaceutical company, today announced that it has launched a private offering of an aggregate principal amount of U.S. $115 million of senior notes (the \u201cSenior Notes\u201d) of Procaps, S.A. (\u201cProcaps\u201d), a subsidiary of Procaps Group, in a private placement transaction led by Prudential Private Capital, to entities including one or more investment funds or managed accounts of PGIM Inc. and Cigna Investment Inc. LarrainVial acted as sole financial advisor of Procaps Group.\n<\/p>\n
\nProcaps intends to use the net proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes primarily to repay existing debt, as well as for general corporate purposes. The financing is expected to be leverage-neutral at closing from a net debt perspective. On August 12, 2021, Procaps Group reported LTM Adjusted EBITDA for the period ended June 30, 2021 of approximately $97.4 million representing an LTM Adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 26% and Net Debt-to-LTM Adjusted EBITDA ratio of approximately 2.2x for the first half of 2021.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe aggregate principal amount of U.S. $115 million of the Senior Notes is expected to be issued in a single tranche private placement, with a final maturity of 10 years and amortization payments starting on the sixth anniversary of the closing of the transaction. The outstanding principal amount of the Senior Notes will bear a fixed interest rate of 4.75%, or 5.50% in the event that the previously announced proposed business combination between Procaps Group and Union Acquisition Corp. II (NASDAQ: LATN, LATNU, LATNW) (“LATN”), a publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company, (the \u201cBusiness Combination\u201d) does not close.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe private placement of the Senior Notes is expected to close on or about October 2021, subject to customary closing conditions. The closing of the private placement of the Senior Notes is not conditioned upon the closing of the Business Combination. The Senior Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of Procaps and unconditionally guaranteed by Procaps Group, Holdco (as defined below) and certain subsidiary guarantors.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThis private placement of Senior Notes is expected to give Procaps Group additional financial flexibility to execute its growth strategy by refinancing current obligations at a lower interest and with an increased repayment duration,\u201d said Ruben Minski, Procaps Group Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. \u201cThe placement was supported by our strong balance sheet and the expected closing of our Business Combination with Union Acquisition Corp. II, providing us with an opportunity to secure financing at attractive levels.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\nThe offer and sale of the Senior Notes and the related guarantees have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the \u201cSecurities Act\u201d) or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration under, or an applicable exemption from, the registration requirements of the Securities Act.\n<\/p>\n

Any offers of the Senior Notes will be made only by means of a private offering memorandum.<\/i><\/p>\n
About the Proposed Business Combination with Union Acquisition Corp. II<\/b><\/p>\n
\nCompletion of the Business Combination, which is expected to take place in the third quarter of 2021, is subject to approval by LATN shareholders and other customary closing conditions. The combined company will be led by Ruben Minski, Procaps Group Founder, Chairman & CEO. Upon closing of the Business Combination (assuming none of the LATN shareholders redeem any of their LATN ordinary shares in connection with the approval of the Business Combination and including the redemption of certain shares held by IFC), existing Procaps Group shareholders are expected to hold approximately 76% of the combined company, which shares will be subject to certain lock-up arrangements.\n<\/p>\n
\nInstitutional investors have committed to an upsized private investment in public equity (\u201cPIPE\u201d) of $100 million in ordinary shares of LATN, which will be converted into ordinary shares of the combined company upon the closing of the Business Combination. The PIPE will close concurrently with the Business Combination. Subject to any redemptions by LATN shareholders, there is approximately $137.5 million in cash currently held in LATN\u2019s trust account.
