announced that it has entered into a subscription agreement for a
private placement of 1.5 million ordinary shares at a price of

million, to be consummated in connection with the closing of its
business combination with LatAm Logistic Properties S.A. (d/b/a

prospects," said Esteban Saldarriaga, CEO of LLP. "This equity
infusion will further strengthen our position as a leading player
in our region’s industrial and logistics real estate sector,
enabling us to pursue our expansion plans, including Mexico, and
positioning us to deliver high-quality assets for our current and
prospective tenants.”

business combination agreement that would result in LLP becoming a
publicly traded company. As a result of the business combination,

Forward-Looking StatementsThis communication
contains certain forward-looking information with respect to the
business combination, which may not be included in future public
filings or investor guidance. Certain statements in this
communication may be considered forward-looking statements within
the meaning of federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements
include, without limitation, statements about future events or
LLP’s, TWOA’s or Pubco’s future financial or operating performance.
For example, statements regarding the benefits of the business
combination, and the anticipated timing of the completion of the
business combination are forward-looking statements. In some cases,
you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as
“pro forma,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,”
“project,” “strive,” “budget,” “forecast,” “expect,” “intend,”
“will,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “predict,” “potential”
or “continue,” or the negatives of these terms or variations of
them or similar terminology.
These forward-looking statements regarding future events and the
future results of LLP, Pubco and TWOA are based on current
expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections about the
industry in which LLP operates, as well as the beliefs and
assumptions of LLP’s management. These forward-looking statements
are only predictions and are subject to known and unknown risks,
uncertainties, assumptions and other factors beyond LLP’s, Pubco’s
or TWOA’s control that are difficult to predict because they relate
to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the
future. They are neither statements of historical fact nor promises
or guarantees of future performance. 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 TWOA 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 any 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. Accordingly, attendees and recipients should not place undue
reliance on forward-looking statements due to their inherent
uncertainty.
Nothing in this communication should be regarded as a
representation by any person that the forward-looking statements
set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated
results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You
should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements,
which speak only as of the date they are made.
