ZEPHYR COVE, Nev. and SAN JOSÉ, Costa Rica, Aug. 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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.

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.
