| Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K of Cartesian Growth Corporation, an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“CGC”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 20, 2021, CGC announced that it had entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement” and the transactions described within, the “Business Combination”) with Tiedemann Wealth Management Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TWMH”), TIG Trinity GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TIG GP”), TIG Trinity Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TIG MGMT” and, together with TIG GP, the “TIG Entities”), Alvarium Investments Limited, an English private limited company (“Alvarium” and, together with TWMH and the TIG Entities, the “Companies”), Rook MS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Umbrella Merger Sub”), and Alvarium Tiedemann Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Umbrella”).
On May 31, 2022, CGC announced that it had received the required pre-closing approvals with respect to the Business Combination from the applicable regulatory and governmental authorities in certain jurisdictions where the Companies operate. The closing of the Business Combination remains subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the Form S-4 (defined below) being declared effective by the SEC and shareholder approval. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Additional Information and Where to Find It
In connection with the proposed Business Combination, CGC has filed a registration statement on Form S-4 that includes a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus in connection with the Business Combination (the “Form S-4”) with the SEC, which includes a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and certain other related documents, to be used at the meeting of CGC shareholders to approve the proposed Business Combination. BEFORE MAKING ANY VOTING OR INVESTMENT DECISION, INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS OF CGC ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS, ANY AMENDMENTS THERETO AND OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN OR WILL BE FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN OR WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT CGC AND THE COMPANIES AND THE BUSINESS COMBINATION. Promptly after the Form S-4 is declared effective by the SEC, the proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to shareholders of CGC as of a record date to be established for voting on the proposed Business Combination. Investors and security holders will also be able to obtain copies of other documents containing important information about each of the companies once such documents are filed with the SEC, without charge, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The information contained on, or that may be accessed through, the websites referenced in this communication is not incorporated by reference into, and is not a part of, this communication.
No Offer or Solicitation
This communication does not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the proposed Business Combination. This communication also does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor will there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities will be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption therefrom.
Participants in the Solicitation
CGC and its directors and executive officers may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies from CGC’s shareholders with respect to the proposed Business Combination. A list of the names of those directors and executive officers and a description of their interests in CGC is contained in CGC’s filings with the SEC, including CGC’s final prospectus relating to its initial public offering, which was filed with the SEC on February 23, 2021, and is available free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Additional information regarding the interests of such participants is set forth in the Form S-4 for the proposed Business Combination, as may be amended.
TWMH, the TIG Entities, Alvarium, and their respective directors and executive officers may also be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the shareholders of CGC in connection with the proposed Business Combination. A list of the names of such directors and executive officers and information regarding their interests in the proposed Business Combination is contained in the Form S-4, as may be amended.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K are “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in this Form 8-K, the words “estimates,” “projected,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “forecasts,” “plans,” “intends,” “believes,” “seeks,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “future,” “propose” and variations of these words or similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside TWMH, the TIG Entities, Alvarium, or CGC’s control, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors, among others, that may affect actual results or outcomes include (i) the inability to complete the proposed Business Combination in a timely manner or at all (including due to the failure to receive required shareholder approvals, failure to receive approvals or the failure of other closing conditions); (ii) the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed Business Combination; (iii) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of CGC’s shares on Nasdaq following the Business Combination; (iv) costs related to the proposed Business Combination; (v) the risk that the proposed Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the proposed Business Combination; (vi) CGC, TWMH, the TIG Entities, and Alvarium’s ability to manage growth and execute business plans and meet projections; (vii) potential litigation involving CGC, TWMH, the TIG Entities, or Alvarium; (viii) changes in applicable laws or regulations, particularly with respect to wealth management and asset management; (ix) general economic and market conditions impacting demand for CGC, TWMH, the TIG Entities, and Alvarium’s services, and in particular economic and market conditions in the financial services industry in the markets in which CGC, TWMH, the TIG Entities, and Alvarium operate; and (x) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the Form S-4, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in CGC’s other filings with the SEC. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. None of CGC, TWMH, the TIG Entities, and Alvarium undertakes any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. None of CGC, the TWMH, the TIG Entities, or Alvarium gives any assurance that any of CGC, TWMH, the TIG Entities, or Alvarium, or the combined company, will achieve expectations.
