NOTICE OF ADJOURNED EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE RECONVENED ON JUNE 22, 2016
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF GARNERO GROUP ACQUISITION COMPANY:
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the adjourned extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of Garnero Group Acquisition Company (“GGAC”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, will be reconvened at 10:00 a.m. eastern time, on June 22, 2016, at the offices of Graubard Miller, GGAC’s U.S. counsel, at The Chrysler Building, 405 Lexington Avenue, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10174. You are cordially invited to attend the adjourned extraordinary general meeting, which will be held for the following purposes:
| (1) | to consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt and approve the First Amended and Restated Investment Agreement (“Investment Agreement”), dated as of December 17, 2015, by and among GGAC, Q1 Comercial de Roupas S.A. (“Grupo Colombo”), Alvaro Jabur Maluf Jr. and Paulo Jabur Maluf (the “Controlling Persons”) and the persons listed under the caption “Optionholder” on the signature pages thereto (the “Optionholders”), which provides, among other things, for the Controlling Persons and the Optionholders to contribute to GGAC all of Grupo Colombo’s equity, as a result of which Grupo Colombo will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of GGAC, and to approve the business combination contemplated by the Investment Agreement — we refer to this proposal as the “business combination proposal”; |
| (2) | to consider and vote upon separate proposals to approve by special resolution amendments to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of GGAC, effective following the business combination, to (i) change the name of GGAC from “Garnero Group Acquisition Company” to “Grupo Colombo Inc.”; (ii) adjust the existing classification of directors to conform with the classification described in the director election proposal below; and (iii) remove provisions that will no longer be applicable to GGAC after the business combination and make certain other immaterial changes; |
| (3) | to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve by special resolution, effective immediately upon consummation of the business combination and approval of the charter amendment proposals, the amendment and restatement of GGAC’s amended and restated articles of association by their deletion in their entirety and the substitution in their place of the second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to (among other matters) reflect the changes effected by the charter amendment proposals; |
| (4) | to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution the 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which is an incentive compensation plan for directors, officers, employees and consultants of GGAC and its subsidiaries; |
| (5) | to elect by ordinary resolution, effective upon the consummation of the business combination, five directors to GGAC’s board of directors, effective upon the consummation of the business combination, of whom one will be a Class A director serving until the general meeting of shareholders to be held in 2017, two will be Class B directors serving until the general meeting to be held in 2018 and two will be Class C directors serving until the general meeting to be held in 2019 and, in each case, until their successors are elected and qualified; and |
| (6) | to consider and vote upon a proposal to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote or elections to convert at the time of the extraordinary general meeting, GGAC is not authorized to consummate the business combination or the closing conditions under the Investment Agreement are not met. |
The extraordinary general meeting was originally convened on April 25, 2016, was adjourned until May 23, 2016 and was adjourned again until June 22, 2016, in each case without conducting any business. Only holders of record of GGAC’s ordinary shares at the close of business on March 28, 2016 are entitled to notice of the adjourned extraordinary general meeting and to vote and have their votes counted at the adjourned extraordinary general meeting and any further adjournments or postponements of the extraordinary general meeting. This record date is the same as the record date for the extraordinary general meeting as originally scheduled.
The items of business set forth above are described in the proxy statement that was sent to you on or about March 31, 2016, which we encourage you to read in its entirety before voting.
All GGAC shareholders are cordially invited to attend the adjourned extraordinary general meeting in person. To ensure your representation at the extraordinary general meeting, however, you are urged to complete, sign, date and return the proxy card enclosed with the proxy statement previously mailed to you as soon as possible. If you have already provided voting instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with these instructions at the reconvened extraordinary general meeting, unless you affirmatively change your instructions as described in the proxy statement for the extraordinary general meeting. If you are a shareholder of record of GGAC’s ordinary shares, you may also cast your vote in person at the adjourned extraordinary general meeting. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must instruct your broker or bank on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the adjourned extraordinary general meeting and vote in person, obtain a proxy from your broker or bank.
Your vote is important regardless of the number of shares you own. Whether you plan to attend the adjourned extraordinary general meeting or not, if you have not already done so, please sign, date and return the proxy card enclosed with the proxy statement previously mailed to you as soon as possible in the envelope previously provided. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.
Thank you for your participation. We look forward to your continued support.
