Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
Primavera Capital Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“PCAC”), recently received letters from Sky Venture Partners L.P. (“Sky Venture”), claiming that it has been relieved of its obligations under the Forward Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 4, 2021, between PCAC, Primavera Capital Acquisition LLC (the “Sponsor”) and Sky Venture (the “Sky Venture FPA”), pursuant to which Sky Venture committed to, among other things, purchase 4,000,000 Class A ordinary shares of PCAC and 1,000,000 warrants of PCAC (collectively, the “forward purchase units”) for an aggregate purchase price of US$40,000,000. In consideration of Sky Venture’s commitment to purchase the forward purchase units, the Sponsor transferred 500,000 Class B ordinary shares of PCAC to Sky Venture. Under the Sky Venture FPA, Sky Venture also agreed to vote all of the Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares held by it in favor of a business combination transaction proposed by PCAC. PCAC’s previously announced proposed business combination with Fosun Fashion Group (Cayman) Limited (“Lanvin Group”), is described in its proxy statement/prospectus dated November 4, 2022, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and mailed to PCAC shareholders. Sky Venture has now repudiated its obligations under the Sky Venture FPA, including the obligations to purchase the forward purchase units and vote all of the PCAC ordinary shares held by it in favor of the business combination transaction.
PCAC believes that Sky Venture’s claims are without merit and that Sky Venture remains bound by all of its obligations under the Sky Venture FPA. Should Sky Venture fail to honor its contractual commitments, PCAC intends to cause the forfeiture of the 500,000 Class B ordinary shares currently held by Sky Venture and vigorously enforce all of PCAC’s rights and pursue all available remedies against Sky Venture, including seeking specific performance of Sky Venture’s commitments pursuant to the Sky Venture FPA.
