Item 1.01 | Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement |
The Business Combination Agreement
On March 23, 2022, Primavera Capital Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“PCAC”) entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “BCA”) by and among (i) PCAC, (ii) Lanvin Group Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“PubCo”), (iii) Lanvin Group Heritage I Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub 1”), (iv) Lanvin Group Heritage II Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub 2”, and together with Merger Sub 1, the “Merger Subs”), and (v) Fosun Fashion Group (Cayman) Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“FFG”).
The BCA and the transaction contemplated thereby were unanimously approved by the board of directors of each of PCAC and FFG.
Pursuant to the BCA, on the closing of the Business Combination (as defined below) (the “Closing” and the date on which the Closing actually occurs, the “Closing Date”) and in sequential order, (i) the Forward Purchase Subscriptions (as defined below) will be consummated immediately prior to the completion of the Initial Merger or otherwise in accordance with the terms thereof, (ii) PCAC will merge with and into Merger Sub 1, with Merger Sub 1 as the surviving entity in the merger, and, after giving effect to such merger, continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Initial Merger”), (iii) Merger Sub 2 will merge with and into FFG, with FFG as the surviving entity in the merger (such surviving entity, the “Surviving Company”), and, after giving effect to such merger, continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Second Merger”), (iv) the PIPE Investment (as defined below) shall be consummated immediately following the completion of the Initial Merger and the Second Merger, and (v) Merger Sub 1 will merge with and into the Surviving Company, with the Surviving Company as the surviving entity in the merger (the “Third Merger”). The Forward Purchase Subscriptions, the Initial Merger, the Second Merger, the PIPE Investment, the Third Merger, and the other transactions contemplated by the BCA are hereinafter referred to as the “Business Combination.”
The Business Combination
Subject to, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the BCA, in connection with the Initial Merger, (i) each PCAC unit will (to the extent not already separated) be automatically severed and the holder thereof will be deemed to hold one PCAC Class A ordinary share and one-half of a PCAC warrant, (ii) immediately following the separation of each PCAC unit, each issued and outstanding PCAC Class A ordinary share (but excluding (x) all of the PCAC Class A ordinary shares that will be redeemed pursuant to the election of eligible holders thereof in accordance with PCAC’s organizational documents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the BCA (the “PCAC Shareholder Redemption”), and (y) all of the PCAC Class A ordinary shares that may have been issued upon the exercise of any PCAC warrants or in connection with the Private Placements (as defined below), the “Eligible PCAC Shares”) will automatically be converted into the right to receive a number of newly issued PubCo ordinary shares equal to (x) the sum of the aggregate number of Eligible PCAC Shares and 3,600,000, divided by (y) the aggregate number of Eligible PCAC Shares, subject to rounding, (iii) each (x) PCAC Class A ordinary share other than the Eligible PCAC Shares and (y) PCAC Class B ordinary share issued and outstanding will automatically be converted into the right to receive one newly issued PubCo ordinary share, (iv) each issued and outstanding PCAC warrant will be assumed by PubCo and converted into a warrant to purchase one PubCo ordinary share and (v) the issued and outstanding share in the capital of Merger Sub 1 will continue existing and constitute the only issued and outstanding share in the capital of Merger Sub 1.
Subject to, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the BCA, in connection with the Second Merger, (i) each issued and outstanding FFG ordinary share, FFG non-voting ordinary share and FFG preferred share (other than any Company Dissenting Shares (as defined in the BCA), collectively, “Company Shares”) will automatically be converted into the right to receive such number of newly issued PubCo ordinary shares that is equal to the Company Exchange Ratio, subject to rounding, and (ii) the issued and outstanding share in the capital of Merger Sub 2 will automatically be converted into one ordinary share of the Surviving Company, which ordinary share will constitute the only issued and outstanding share in the share capital of the Surviving Company. The “Company Exchange Ratio” is a number determined by dividing the price per Company Share (i.e. US$3.365773) by US$10.00.
Subject to, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the BCA, in connection with the Third Merger, (i) the issued and outstanding ordinary share of the Surviving Company will be cancelled and cease to exist by virtue of the Third Merger, and (ii) the issued and outstanding share in the capital of Merger Sub 1 will automatically be converted into one ordinary share of the Surviving Company, which ordinary share will constitute the only issued and outstanding share in the share capital of the Surviving Company.
The Business Combination is expected to close in the second half of 2022, following the receipt of the required approvals by PCAC’s shareholders and the fulfillment of other closing conditions.
Representations and Warranties; Covenants
The BCA contains representations, warranties and covenants of each of the parties thereto that are customary for transactions of this type. The representations and warranties of the parties contained in the BCA will terminate and be of no further force and effect as of the closing of the Business Combination.

Primavera Capital Acquisition LLC (the “Sponsor”) will have the right to designate one (1) member of PubCo board of directors.

The BCA may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances prior to the closing of the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, (i) by mutual written consent of PCAC and FFG, (ii) by either PCAC or FFG if any governmental authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any order which has become final and non-appealable and has the effect of making consummation of the Business Combination illegal or otherwise preventing or prohibiting consummation of the Business Combination, (iii) by either PCAC or FFG if certain required approvals are not obtained from PCAC shareholders after the conclusion of a meeting of PCAC’s shareholders duly convened therefor, (iv) subject to certain limited exceptions, by either PCAC or FFG if the Business Combination is not consummated on or prior to the date falling nine (9) months from the date of the BCA or such other date as mutually agreed in writing by FFG and PCAC, (v) by PCAC if certain required approvals are not obtained from FFG shareholders within 10 business days after the Registration Statement became effective, (vi) by PCAC if FFG, PubCo or Merger Subs are in material breach of their respective warranties or obligations that would render any of the conditions to obligations of PCAC incapable of being satisfied on the date of Closing and such breach is not cured or cannot be cured within certain specified time periods, (vii) by FFG if PCAC is in material breach of its warranties or obligations that would render any of the conditions to obligations of FFG, PubCo and Merger Subs incapable of being satisfied on the date of Closing and such breach is not cured or cannot be cured within certain specified time periods, and (viii) by either FFG or PCAC if there shall have occurred a SPAC Material Adverse Effect after the SPAC Accounts Date (as defined in the BCA) (in the case of a termination by FFG) or a Company Material Adverse Effect after the Company Accounts Date (as defined in the BCA) (in the case of a termination by PCAC).
If the BCA is validly terminated, none of the parties to the BCA will have any liability or any further obligation under the BCA, except in the case of any willful and material breach of the BCA and for customary obligations that survive the termination thereof (such as confidentiality obligations).
The foregoing description of the BCA and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the BCA, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The BCA contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the BCA or other specific dates, as specified therein. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement. The BCA has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms and is not intended to provide any other factual information about PCAC, FFG, PubCo or any other party to the BCA. In particular, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the BCA may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties (including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the BCA instead of establishing these matters as facts) and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors and reports and documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of any party to the BCA. In addition, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements and other terms of the BCA may be subject to subsequent waiver or modification. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties and other terms may change after the date of the BCA, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in PCAC’s public disclosures.

Forward-Looking Statements
This communication including the description of the transactions, agreements, and other information contained herein (collectively, this “communication”) includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the proposed Business Combination, and also contains certain financial forecasts and projections. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this communication, including, but not limited to, statements as to future results of operations and financial position, planned products and services, business strategy and plans, objectives of management for future operations of the FFG, market size and growth opportunities, competitive position, technological and market trends and the potential benefits and expectations related to the terms and timing of the proposed Business Combination, are forward-looking statements. Some of these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking words, including “anticipate,” “expect,” “suggests,” “plan,” “believe,” “intend,” “estimates,” “targets,” “projects,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “may,” “will,” “forecast” or other similar expressions. All forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and forecasts and reflect the views, assumptions, expectations, and opinions of the FFG and PCAC, which are all subject to change due to various factors including, without limitation, changes in general economic conditions as a result of COVID-19. Any such estimates, assumptions, expectations, forecasts, views or opinions, whether or not identified in this communication, should be regarded as indicative, preliminary and for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results.
The forward-looking statements and financial forecasts and projections contained in this communication are subject to a number of factors, risks and uncertainties. Potential risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; the timing and structure of the Business Combination; changes to the proposed structure of the Business Combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the Business Combination and the other transactions in connection therewith, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or the risk that any regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the Business Combination or that the approval of the shareholders of PCAC or the FFG is not obtained; the risk that the business combination disrupts current plans and operations of PCAC or the FFG as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination; the ability of the FFG to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees including its chief executive officer and executive team; the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of the post-acquisition company’s securities on the NYSE following the Business Combination; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of Business Combination; risk relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to the FFG; the amount of redemption requests made by PCAC’s shareholders and the amount of funds available in the PCAC trust account; general economic conditions and other factors affecting the FFG’s business; FFG’s ability to implement its business strategy; FFG’s ability to manage expenses; changes in applicable laws and governmental regulation and the impact of such changes on FFG’s business, FFG’s exposure to litigation claims and other loss contingencies; the risks associated with negative press or reputational harm; disruptions and other impacts to FFG’s business, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and government actions and restrictive measures implemented in response; FFG’s ability to protect patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights; any breaches of, or interruptions in, FFG’s technology infrastructure; changes in tax laws and liabilities; and changes in legal, regulatory, political and economic risks and the impact of such changes on FFG’s business. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the Registration Statement, the proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus discussed below, PCAC’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other documents filed by PubCo or PCAC from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, there may be additional risks that neither PCAC nor FFG presently knows, or that PCAC or FFG currently believes are immaterial, that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect PCAC’s and FFG’s expectations, plans, projections or forecasts of future events and view. If any of the risks materialize or PCAC’s or FFG’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. PCAC and FFG anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause their assessments to change. However, while PubCo, PCAC and FFG may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, PubCo, PCAC and FFG specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, except as required by law. The inclusion of any statement in this document does not constitute an admission by FFG nor PCAC or any other person that the events or circumstances described in such statement are material. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing PCAC’s or FFG’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this document. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements. In addition, the analyses of FFG and PCAC contained herein are not, and do not purport to be, appraisals of the securities, assets or business of the FFG, PCAC or any other entity.
Financial Information; Use of Non-IFRS Financial Metrics and Other Key Financial Metrics
Certain financial information and data contained in this communication is unaudited.
Accordingly, such information and data may not be included, may be adjusted or may be presented differently in any proxy statement, prospectus or registration statement or other report or document to be filed or furnished by PCAC or PubCo with the SEC. This communication includes certain non-IFRS financial measures (including on a forward-looking basis). These non-IFRS measures are an addition, and not a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS. FFG believes that these non-IFRS measures of financial results (including on a forward-looking basis) provide useful supplemental information to investors about FFG. FFG’s management uses forward looking non-IFRS measures to evaluate FFG’s projected financial and operating performance. FFG believes that the use of these non-IFRS financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends in and in comparing FFG’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-IFRS financial measures to investors.
However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-IFRS measures and their nearest IFRS equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-IFRS measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore FFG’s non-IFRS measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. FFG does not consider these non-IFRS measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. The principal limitation of these non-IFRS financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses, income and tax liabilities that are required by IFRS to be recorded in FFG’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgements by FFG about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-IFRS financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, FFG presents non-IFRS financial measures in connection with IFRS results.
Important Additional Information
This communication relates to a proposed Business Combination between FFG and PCAC. This document does not constitute an offer to sell or exchange, or the solicitation of an offer to buy or exchange, any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or exchange would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. The proposed Business Combination will be submitted to shareholders of PCAC for their consideration.
PubCo intends to file a Registration Statement with the SEC which will include preliminary and definitive proxy statements to be distributed to PCAC’s shareholders in connection with PCAC’s solicitation for proxies for the vote by PCAC’s shareholders in connection with the proposed Business Combination and other matters as described in the Registration Statement, as well as the prospectus relating to the offer of the securities to be issued to FFG’s shareholders in connection with the completion of the proposed Business Combination. PCAC and PubCo also will file other documents regarding the proposed Business Combination with the SEC.
After the Registration Statement has been filed and declared effective, PCAC will mail a definitive proxy statement and other relevant documents to its shareholders as of the record date established for voting on the proposed Business Combination. This communication is not a substitute for the Registration Statement, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus or any other document that PCAC will send to its shareholders in connection with the Business Combination. PCAC’s shareholders and other interested persons are advised to read, once available, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus and any amendments thereto and, once available, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, in connection with PCAC’s solicitation of proxies for its special meeting of shareholders to be held to approve, among other things, the proposed transactions, because these documents will contain important information about PCAC, PubCo, FFG and the proposed Business Combination. Shareholders and investors may also obtain a copy of the preliminary or definitive proxy statement, once available, as well as other documents filed with the SEC regarding the proposed transactions and other documents filed with the SEC by PCAC, without charge, at the SEC’s website located at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to PCAC. The information contained on, or that may be accessed through, the websites referenced in this document is not incorporated by reference into, and is not a part of, this document.
INVESTMENT IN ANY SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SEC OR ANY OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY NOR HAS ANY AUTHORITY PASSED UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF THE OFFERING OR THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

PubCo, the Surviving Company, its Subsidiaries, SPAC or any Acquisition Entity be required to pay an annual premium for such insurance in excess of 300% of the aggregate annual premium payable by the Company, its Subsidiaries, SPAC or such
Acquisition Entity, respectively, for such insurance policy for the year ended December 31, 2021; provided, however, that (i) each of PubCo, the Surviving Company and SPAC may cause coverage to be extended under the current

representatives, (ii) shall be binding on the Surviving Company, SPAC and PubCo and their respective successors and assigns, (iii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that

against such party, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its directors or officers by any Company Shareholder or SPAC Shareholder relating to this Agreement, the Mergers or any of the other Transactions, the occurrence of which has caused or is
reasonably likely to cause any condition to the obligations of any Party to effect the Transactions not to be satisfied or is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Parties to consummate the Transactions or
to materially delay the timing thereof (any such Action, Shareholder Litigation), and such party shall keep the other party reasonably informed regarding any such Shareholder Litigation. Other than with respect to any Shareholder

determining whether the conditions in Article IX have been satisfied or give rise to any right of termination set forth in Article X. Section 8.8 Delisting and Deregistration. The Company, PubCo and SPAC shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause

and the underwriters of SPACs initial public offering (the Trust Account). The Company and each Acquisition Entity further acknowledges that it has been advised by SPAC that funds in the Trust Account may be disbursed only

funds). Section 11.2 Waiver. Any party to this Agreement may, at any time prior to the Closing, by action taken by its board

The words include includes and including will be deemed to be followed by without limitation. Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words this Subscription Agreement, herein, hereof, hereby, hereunder, and words of similar import refer to this Subscription Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.
11.15 Waiver. No waiver by any party hereto of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent occurrence.

11.17 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Subscription Agreement was not performed in accordance with the specific terms hereof or was otherwise breached, and that money damages or legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages. Therefore, it is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement and may also seek preliminary injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity.

The Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form F-3 (or, if Form F-3 is not available to be used by PubCo at such time, on Form F-1 or another appropriate form permitting Registration of such Registrable Securities for resale). If the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is initially filed on Form F-1 and thereafter PubCo becomes eligible to use Form F-3 for secondary sales, PubCo shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, cause such Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be amended, or shall file a new replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement, such that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is on Form F-3. PubCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as possible after filing but in no event later than sixty (60) days thereafter, or one hundred and twenty (120) days thereafter if the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is reviewed by and receives comments from the Commission; provided, however, that PubCos obligations to include the Registrable Securities held by a Holder in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement are contingent upon such Holder furnishing in writing to PubCo such information regarding the Holder, the securities of PubCo held by the Holder and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities as shall be reasonably requested by PubCo to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and the Holder shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as PubCo may reasonably request that are customary of a selling shareholder in similar situations. Once effective, PubCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and prospectus included therein continuously effective and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, to ensure that another Registration Statement is available, under the Securities Act at all times until the earliest of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such Registration Statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement and (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such Registration Statement have ceased to be Registrable Securities. The Registration Statement filed with the Commission pursuant to this Section 2.1.1 shall contain a prospectus in such form as to permit any Holder to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect) at any time beginning on the effective date for such Registration Statement, and shall provide that such Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the Holders.
6
2.1.2 Notification and Distribution of Materials. PubCo shall notify the Holders in writing of the effectiveness of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement as soon as practicable, and in any event within five (5) Business Days after the Resale Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective and shall furnish to them, without charge, such number of copies of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement (including any amendments, supplements and exhibits), the prospectus contained therein (including each preliminary prospectus and all related amendments and supplements) and any documents incorporated by reference in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or such other documents as the Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate the sale of the Registrable Securities in the manner described in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement.
2.1.3 Amendments and Supplements. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.1.1, PubCo shall promptly prepare and file with the Commission from time to time such amendments and supplements to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all the Registrable Securities during the Effectiveness Period. If any Resale Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.1.1 is filed on Form F-3 and thereafter PubCo becomes ineligible to use Form F-3 for secondary sales, PubCo shall promptly notify the Holders of such ineligibility and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a shelf registration on an appropriate form as promptly as practicable to replace the shelf registration statement on Form F-3 and have such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as practicable and to cause such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Resale Shelf Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Resale Shelf Registration Statement is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders until all such Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities; provided, however, that at any time PubCo once again becomes eligible to use Form F-3, PubCo shall cause such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be amended, or shall file a new replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement, such that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is once again on Form F-3.
2.1.4 SEC Cutback. Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 2.1, in the event the Commission informs PubCo that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, PubCo agrees to promptly (i) inform each of the holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement as required by the Commission and/or (ii) withdraw the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (a New Registration Statement), in either case covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the Commission, on Form F-3, or if Form F-3 is not then available to PubCo for such registration statement, on such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, PubCo shall be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with any publicly-available written or oral guidance, comments, requirements or requests of the Commission staff (the SEC Guidance), including without limitation, the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations D.29. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that PubCo used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Investors, subject to a determination by the Commission that certain Investors must be reduced first based on the number of Registrable Securities held by such Investors. In the event PubCo amends the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, PubCo will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by the Commission or SEC Guidance provided to PubCo or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form F-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement.
7
2.1.5 Notice of Certain Events. PubCo shall promptly notify the Investors in writing of any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to, or additional information in connection with, the Resale Shelf Registration Statement required to be prepared and filed hereunder (or prospectus relating thereto). PubCo shall promptly notify each Investor in writing of the filing of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or any prospectus, amendment or supplement related thereto or any post-effective amendment to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and the effectiveness of any post-effective amendment.
(a) If PubCo shall receive a request from the Holders with an estimated market value of at least US$50,000,000 (the requesting Holder(s) shall be referred to herein as the Requesting Holder) that PubCo effect the Underwritten Takedown of all or any portion of the Requesting Holders Registrable Securities, and specifying the intended method of disposition thereof, then PubCo shall promptly give notice of such requested Underwritten Takedown (each such request shall be referred to herein as a Demand Takedown) at least five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated filing date of the prospectus or supplement relating to such Demand Takedown to the other Investors and thereupon shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect, as expeditiously as possible, the offering in such Underwritten Takedown of:
(i) subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 2.2.4, all Registrable Securities for which the Requesting Holder has requested such offering under Section 2.1.5(a), and
(ii) subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 2.2.4, all other Registrable Securities that any Holder (all such Holders, together with the Requesting Holder, the Selling Holders) have requested PubCo to offer by request received by PubCo within five (5) Business Days after such Holders receive PubCos notice of the Demand Takedown, all to the extent necessary to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities so to be offered.
(b) Promptly after the expiration of the five-(5)-Business Day-period referred to in Section 2.1.5(a)(ii), PubCo will notify all Selling Holders of the identities of the other Selling Holders and the number of shares of Registrable Securities requested to be included therein.
8
(c) PubCo shall only be required to effectuate: (i) no more than two Underwritten Takedowns in any twelve-month period; (ii) no more than three Underwritten Takedowns in respect of all Registrable Securities held by the SPAC Investors; (iii) no more than three Underwritten Takedowns in respect of all Registrable Securities held by the Company Investors, after giving effect to Section 2.2.1.
(d) If the managing Underwriter in an Underwritten Takedown advises PubCo and the Requesting Holder that, in its view, the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering exceeds the largest number of shares that can be sold without having an adverse effect on such offering, including the price at which such shares can be sold, the timing, the distribution method or the probability of success of such offering, the shares included in such Underwritten Takedown will be reduced by the Registrable Securities held by the Selling Holders (applied on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders, subject to a determination by the Commission that certain Holders must be reduced first based on the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders).
2.1.6 Selection of Underwriters. The initiating Selling Holders shall have the right to select an Underwriter or Underwriters in connection with such Underwritten Takedown, which Underwriter or Underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to PubCo and shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks. In connection with an Underwritten Takedown, PubCo shall enter into customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Takedown, including, if necessary, the engagement of a qualified independent underwriter in connection with the qualification of the underwriting arrangements with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.

(a) If a Demanding Holder wishes to consummate a Block Trade (on either a Commission registered or non-registered basis), then notwithstanding the time periods and piggyback rights otherwise provided herein, such Demanding Holder shall, if it would like the assistance of PubCo, endeavor to give PubCo sufficient advance notice in order to prepare the appropriate documentation for such transaction.

(b) The Demanding Holder in a Block Trade shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such Block Trade (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks).
2.2 Demand Registration.
2.2.1 Request for Registration. At any time and from time to time after the expiration of a lock-up to which such shares are subject, if any, (i) the SPAC Investors who hold a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities held by all SPAC Investors or (ii) the Company Investors who hold US$50,000,000 of the Registrable Securities held by all the Company Investors, as the case may be, may make a written demand for Registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their Registrable Securities on Form F-3 (or, if Form F-3 is not available to be used by PubCo at such time, on Form F-1 or another appropriate form permitting Registration of such Registrable Securities for resale by such Holders). Each registration requested pursuant to this Section 2.2.1 is referred to herein as a Demand Registration. Any demand for a Demand Registration shall specify the number of shares of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. PubCo will notify all Investors that are Holders of the demand, and each such Holder who wishes to include all or a portion of such Holders Registrable Securities in the Demand Registration (each such Holder including shares of Registrable Securities in such registration, a Demanding Holder) shall so notify PubCo within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from PubCo. Upon any such request, the Demanding Holders shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in the Demand Registration, subject to Section 2.2.4 and the provisos set forth in Section 3.1.1. PubCo shall not be obligated to effect: (a) more than one (1) Demand Registration during any six-month period; (b) any Demand Registration at any time there is an effective Resale Shelf Registration Statement on file with the Commission pursuant to Section 2.1; (c) more than two (2) Underwritten Demand Registrations in respect of all Registrable Securities held by the SPAC Investors, each of which will also count as an Underwritten Takedown of the SPAC Investors under Section 2.1.5(c)(ii); or (d) more than two (2) Underwritten Demand Registrations in respect of all Registrable Securities held by the Company Investors, each of which will also count as an Underwritten Takedown of the Company Investors under Section 2.1.5(c)(iii).
2.2.2 Effective Registration. A Registration will not count as a Demand Registration unless and until (i) the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration has been declared effective by the Commission and (ii) PubCo has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, however, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration is interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission or any other governmental agency or court, the Registration Statement with respect to such Demand Registration will be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders thereafter elect to continue the offering; provided, further, that PubCo shall not be obligated to file a second Registration Statement until a Registration Statement that has been filed is counted as a Demand Registration or is terminated.
2.2.3 Underwritten Offering. If the Demanding Holders so elect and such holders so advise PubCo as part of their written demand for a Demand Registration, the offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering with an estimated market value of at least US$50,000,000. In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holders participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holders Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Demanding Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Holders initiating the Demand Registration, and subject to the approval of PubCo.
10
2.2.4 Reduction of Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Demand Registration that is to be an Underwritten Offering advises PubCo and the Demanding Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Registrable Securities which the Demanding Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other Ordinary Shares or other securities which PubCo desires to sell and the Ordinary Shares, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by other shareholders of PubCo who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares, as applicable, the Maximum Number of Shares), then PubCo shall include in such registration: (i) first, the Registrable Securities as to which Demand Registration has been requested by the Demanding Holders (pro rata in accordance with the number of shares that each such person has requested be included in such registration, regardless of the number of shares held by each such person (such proportion is referred to herein as Pro Rata)) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the Ordinary Shares or other securities that PubCo desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the Ordinary Shares or other securities for the account of other persons that PubCo is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons, as to which piggy-back registration has been requested by the holders thereof, Pro Rata, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.
2.2.5 Withdrawal. If a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders disapprove of the terms of any underwriting or are not entitled to include all of their Registrable Securities in any offering, such majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders may elect to withdraw from such offering by giving written notice to PubCo and the Underwriter or Underwriters of their request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration. If the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders withdraws from a proposed offering relating to a Demand Registration, then either the Demanding Holders shall reimburse PubCo for the costs associated with the withdrawn registration (in which case such registration shall not count as a Demand Registration provided for in Section 2.1) or the withdrawn registration shall count as a Demand Registration provided for in Section 2.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) PubCo may effect any Underwritten Registration pursuant to any then effective Registration Statement, including a Form F-3, that is then available for such offering, and (ii) PubCo shall be responsible for the registration expenses incurred in connection with a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration prior to its withdrawal under this Section 2.2.5.
11
2.3 Piggy-Back Registration.
2.3.1 Piggy-Back Rights. If PubCo proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, by PubCo for its own account or for shareholders of PubCo for their account (or by PubCo and by shareholders of PubCo including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1), other than a Registration Statement (i) filed in connection with any employee share option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to PubCos existing shareholders, (iii) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of PubCo, (iv) filed on Form F-4 or S-4 (or any successor form thereto) related to any merger, acquisition or business combination, (v) for a dividend reinvestment plan or (vi) filed in connection with a Block Trade by one or more Holders in accordance with Section 2.1.8, then PubCo shall (x) give written notice of such proposed filing to the holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but in no event less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, of the offering, and (y) offer to the Holders in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of shares of Registrable Securities that are not subject to any transfer restrictions under any applicable lock-up, as such Holders may request in writing within five (5) days following receipt of such notice (a Piggy-Back Registration). PubCo shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggy-Back Registration and shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of PubCo and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an Underwriter or Underwriters shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such Piggy-Back Registration.
2.3.2 Reduction of Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Piggy-Back Registration that is to be an Underwritten Offering advises PubCo and the Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of Ordinary Shares which PubCo desires to sell, taken together with Ordinary Shares, if any, as to which registration has been demanded pursuant to written contractual arrangements with persons other than the Holders hereunder and the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested under this Section 2.3, exceeds the Maximum Number of Shares, then PubCo shall include in any such registration:
(a) If the Registration is undertaken for PubCos account: (A) first, the Ordinary Shares or other securities that PubCo desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Ordinary Shares or other securities, if any, comprised of Registrable Securities, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the terms hereof, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares, Pro Rata; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Ordinary Shares or other securities for the account of other persons that PubCo is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights with such persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and
12
(b) If the Registration is a demand registration undertaken at the demand of persons other than either the Holders, (A) first, the Ordinary Shares or other securities for the account of the demanding persons that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Ordinary Shares or other securities that PubCo desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Ordinary Shares or other securities, if any, comprised of Registrable Securities, Pro Rata, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the terms hereof, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the Ordinary Shares or other securities for the account of other persons that PubCo is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such persons, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.
2.3.3 Withdrawal. Any Holder may elect to withdraw such Holders request for inclusion of Registrable Securities in any Piggy-Back Registration by giving written notice to PubCo of such request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. PubCo (whether on its own determination or as the result of a withdrawal by persons making a demand pursuant to written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding any such withdrawal, PubCo shall pay all expenses incurred by the Holders in connection with such Piggy-Back Registration as provided in Section 3.3.
2.3.4 Unlimited Piggy-Back Rights. For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.3 shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration effected under Section 2.2, and there shall be no limit on the number of Piggy-Back Registrations.
3. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES.
3.1 Filings; Information. Whenever PubCo is required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2 or an underwritten Block Trade, PubCo shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof as expeditiously as practicable, and in connection with any such request:

14
3.1.6 Agreements for Disposition. PubCo shall enter into customary agreements (including, if applicable, an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. The representations, warranties and covenants of PubCo in any underwriting agreement which are made to or for the benefit of any Underwriters, to the extent applicable, shall also be made to and for the benefit of the Holders included in such registration statement, and the representations, warranties and covenants of the Holders included in such registration statement in any underwriting agreement which are made to or for the benefit of any Underwriters, to the extent applicable, shall also be made to and for the benefit of PubCo.

Each Holder agrees to execute a customary lock-up agreement in favor of the Underwriters to such effect (in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as all such Holders); provided, that such agreement shall not be materially more restrictive than any similar agreement entered into by the directors and executive officers of PubCo participating in such Underwritten Offering; provided, further, that such agreement shall provide that any early release of any Holder from the provisions of the terms of such agreement shall be on a pro rata basis among all Holders.
3.2 Obligation to Suspend Distribution.

4. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.
4.1 Indemnification by PubCo. PubCo agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and each other Holder, and each of their respective officers, employees, Affiliates, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents, and each person, if any, who controls an Investor and each other Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each, an Investor Indemnified Party), from and against any expenses, losses, judgments, claims, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement (or allegedly untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, or arising out of or based upon any omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by PubCo of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to PubCo and relating to action or inaction required of PubCo in connection with any such registration; and PubCo shall promptly reimburse the Investor Indemnified Party for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Investor Indemnified Party in connection with investigating and defending any such expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that PubCo will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of any material fact made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, or final prospectus or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to PubCo, in writing, by such selling Holder expressly for use therein, or is based on any selling Holders violation of the federal securities laws (including Regulation M) or failure to sell the Registrable Securities in accordance with the plan of distribution contained in the prospectus.
17
4.2 Indemnification by Holders. Each selling Holder will, in the event that any registration is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement of any Registrable Securities held by such selling Holder, indemnify and hold harmless PubCo, each of its directors and officers, and each other selling holder and each other person, if any, who controls another selling Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, insofar as such losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to PubCo by such selling Holder expressly for use therein, or is based on any selling Holders violation of the federal securities laws (including Regulation M) or failure to sell the Registrable Securities in accordance with the plan of distribution contained in the prospectus, and shall reimburse PubCo, its directors and officers, and each other selling Holder or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigation or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. Each selling Holders indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds actually received by such selling Holder.
4.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Sections 4.1 or 4.2, such person (the Indemnified Party) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other person (the Indemnifying Party) in writing of the loss, claim, judgment, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel, which such counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written opinion of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding.
18
4.4 Contribution.
4.4.1 If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 is judicially determined to be unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
4.4.2 The Parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding Section 4.4.1.
4.4.3 The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, no Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds (after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or taxes) actually received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities which gave rise to such contribution obligation. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Each of the Investors (i) shall vote its Ordinary Shares at any general meeting of shareholders of PubCo or execute any written consent or resolution of shareholders of PubCo or proxy and take all other necessary action so as to effectuate the foregoing rights of the Sponsor, and (ii) shall not vote any of its Ordinary Shares at any general meeting of shareholders of PubCo or execute any written consent or resolution of shareholders of PubCo or proxy in favor of the removal of the Sponsor Director, unless the Sponsor shall have consented to such removal in writing.
(b) Subject to Section 6.1.2(a), the Directors shall be nominated by the nominating committee of the Board (the Nominating Committee) from time to time in consultation with the Sponsor and in accordance with the Nominating Committees policies and procedures.
6.1.3 Sponsor Director. For so long as the Sponsor Director serves as a Director, (i) PubCo shall provide the Sponsor Director with the same expense reimbursement, benefits, indemnity, exculpation and other arrangements provided to the other Directors, and (ii) PubCo shall not following the Initial Merger Effective Time amend, alter, repeal or waive (x) any right to indemnification or exculpation covering or benefiting the Sponsor Director as and to the extent consistent with applicable law, the Memorandum and Articles and any indemnification agreements with directors (except to the extent such amendment or alteration does not adversely affect the right to indemnification or exculpation covering or benefiting the Sponsor Director), (y) any provision of the Memorandum and Articles if the purpose of such amendment, alteration, repeal or waiver is to adversely affects the rights or obligations of the Sponsor or the Sponsor Director pursuant to this Section 6. Each of PubCo and the Investors agrees and acknowledges that the Sponsor Director may, to the maximum extent permitted by antitrust, competition or any other applicable law, share confidential, non-public information about PubCo and its Subsidiaries with the Sponsor, subject to the Sponsor preserving in good faith the confidential nature of such information disclosed by the Sponsor Director.
20
6.2 Other Business Opportunities.
6.2.1 The Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) the Sponsor (including (A) its Affiliates, (B) any portfolio company in which it or any of its Affiliates or investment fund Affiliates have made a debt or equity investment (and vice versa) or (C) any of their respective limited partners, non-managing members or other similar direct or indirect investors) and the director nominees of the foregoing have the right to, and shall have no duty (fiduciary, contractual or otherwise) not to, directly or indirectly engage in and possess interests in other business ventures of every type and description, including those engaged in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as PubCo or any of its subsidiaries or deemed to be competing with PubCo or any of its subsidiaries, on its own account, or in partnership with, or as an employee, officer, director or shareholder of any other person, with no obligation to offer to PubCo or any of its subsidiaries, or any other Investor or holder of shares of PubCo the right to participate therein; (ii) the Sponsor (including (A) its Affiliates, (B) any portfolio company in which it or any of its Affiliates or investment fund Affiliates have made a debt or equity investment (and vice versa) or (C) any of their respective limited partners, non-managing members or other similar direct or indirect investors) and the director nominees of the foregoing may invest in, or provide services to, any person that directly or indirectly competes with PubCo or any of its subsidiaries; and (iii) in the event that the Sponsor (including (A) its Affiliates, (B) any portfolio company in which it or any of its Affiliates or investment fund Affiliates have made a debt or equity investment (and vice versa) or (C) any of their respective limited partners, non-managing members or other similar direct or indirect investors) or any director nominee of the foregoing, respectively, acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter (unless, with respect to any such director nominee, such transaction or matter is expressly presented to such director nominee in writing and solely in such persons capacity as a director of PubCo) that may be a corporate or other business opportunity for PubCo or any of its subsidiaries, such person shall have no duty (fiduciary, contractual or otherwise) to communicate or present such corporate opportunity to PubCo or any of its subsidiaries or any other Investor or holder of shares of PubCo, as the case may be, and, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shall not be liable to PubCo or any of its subsidiaries or any other Investor or holder of shares of PubCo (or its respective Affiliates) for breach of any duty (fiduciary, contractual or otherwise) by reason of the fact that such person, directly or indirectly, pursues or acquires such opportunity for itself, directs such opportunity to another person or does not present such opportunity to PubCo or any of its subsidiaries or any other Investor or holder of shares of PubCo (or its respective Affiliates). For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that this Section 6.2.1 is intended to disclaim and renounce, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right of PubCo or any of its subsidiaries with respect to the matters set forth herein, and this Section 6.2.1 shall be construed to effect such disclaimer and renunciation to the fullest extent permitted by law.
21
6.2.2 Each of the Parties agrees that the waivers, limitations, acknowledgments and agreements set forth in this Section 6.2 shall not apply to any alleged claim or cause of action against any of the Sponsor based upon the breach or nonperformance by such person of this Agreement or any other agreement to which such person is a party.
6.2.3 The provisions of this Section 6.2, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of any of the Sponsor or its Affiliates or any director nominee of the foregoing otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Parties to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Sponsor or any of its Affiliates or any director nominee of the foregoing to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
6.3 Indemnification; Exculpation.
6.3.1 From and after the Closing Date, PubCo agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Sponsor and Fosun Fashion Holdings (Cayman) Limited (each, a Principal Investor) and their respective directors, officers, partners, members, direct and indirect owners, managers, affiliates and controlling persons (each, an Principal Investor Indemnitee) from and against any and all liability, damages, obligations, costs, fines, injuries and reasonable expenses, including reasonable accountants and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses (collectively, Losses) in connection with claims, actions, suits, proceedings or arbitrations by or involving a third party (including stockholder derivative claims on behalf of PubCo) (Third Party Claims) against one or more Principal Investor Indemnitees arising out of, resulting from, or relating to (i) a Principal Investor Indemnitees purchase of any securities of PubCo in connection with the Business Combination Closing, (ii) the negotiation or execution of the Business Combination Agreement or the other agreements negotiated or executed in connection therewith or referred to therein or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby or (iii) the capacity of any Principal Investor Indemnitee, prior to or at the Business Combination Closing, as a director, officer, manager, affiliate or controlling person of PubCo or any of Principal Investor, as the case may be. Subject to the next two sentences, PubCo shall reimburse each Principal Investor Indemnitee for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) as they are incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any Third Party Claim. The foregoing indemnification and expense reimbursement rights in this Section 6.3.1 shall not be available to the extent that (x) any such Losses are incurred as a result of such Principal Investor Indemnitees gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith or (y) subject to the rights of contribution provided for below, to the extent indemnification for any Losses would violate any applicable Law or public policy. For purposes of this Section 6.3.1, none of the circumstances described in the limitations contained in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to apply absent a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to such effect, in which case to the extent any such limitation is so determined to apply to any Principal Investor Indemnitee as to any previously advanced indemnity or expense reimbursement payments made by PubCo under this Section 6.3.1, then such payments shall be promptly repaid by such Principal Investor Indemnitee to PubCo. The rights of any Principal Investor Indemnitee to indemnification hereunder will be in addition to any other rights any such party may have under any other agreement or instrument to which such Principal Investor Indemnitee is or becomes a party or is or otherwise becomes a beneficiary or under Law. Under no circumstance shall PubCo or any of its subsidiaries be entitled to any right of subrogation to or contribution from any Principal Investor Indemnitee or any other Person from which such Principal Investor Indemnitee is indemnified or otherwise recovers and no right of indemnification or other recovery any Principal Investor Indemnitee may have from such other Person shall reduce or otherwise alter the rights of such Principal Investor Indemnitee or the obligations of PubCo under this Section 6.3.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in respect of any Third Party Claim against a Principal Investor Indemnitee, such Principal Investor Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue all applicable claims under applicable insurance policies and such Principal Investor Indemnitee recovers proceeds from any such insurance claims, such net proceeds (after deducting any costs of recovery) shall be paid to PubCo up to, but not in excess of the amount actually paid by PubCo on behalf of such Principal Investor Indemnitee in respect of such Third Party Claim. The Principal Investor Indemnitee shall have the right to defend any third party claim with counsel of its own choosing, provided that PubCo will be entitled at its election and at its cost to participate in the defense of such third party claim upon which indemnification is or may be due pursuant to this Section 6.3.1. The Principal Investor Indemnitee will not without the prior written consent of PubCo (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) effect any settlement of any threatened or pending third party claim in which PubCo is liable for indemnification hereunder. If the indemnification provided for above is unavailable in respect of any Losses, then PubCo, in lieu of indemnifying a Principal Investor Indemnitee, shall, if and to the extent permitted by Law, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Principal Investor Indemnitee in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of PubCo and such Principal Investor Indemnitee in connection with the actions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other equitable considerations.
22
6.3.2 PubCo agrees to pay or reimburse each Principal Investor Indemnitee for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Principal Investor Indemnitee (including reasonable attorneys fees, charges, disbursement and expenses) incurred in connection with the enforcement or exercise by such Principal Investor Indemnitee of any right (including the right to defend any third party claim) granted to it or provided for hereunder.
7. ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS
7.1 Compliance with Laws. From and after the Closing Date, PubCo shall procure that:
(a) none of the Group Companies shall directly or indirectly use any or all of the proceeds received in connection with the consummation of the Transactions, or lend, contribute, transfer or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Person, for the purpose of financing the activities of any Sanctioned Person or otherwise in violation of Sanctions;
(b) none of the Group Companies and their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall, directly or indirectly, make or authorize any offer, gift, payment, or transfer, or promise of, any money or anything else of value, or provide any benefit, to any Government Official, Governmental Authority or Person that would result in a breach of any Anti-Corruption Laws, Anti-Money Laundering Laws, or Sanctions;
(c) each Group Company shall maintain proper books and records, including records of payments to any Government Official or Governmental Authority, in accordance with Anti-Corruption Laws and IFRS; and
(d) each Group Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law and use its commercially reasonable efforts, (i) adopt and maintain internal policies and procedures reasonably adequate to prevent, detect and deter violations of applicable Anti-Corruption Laws, Anti-Money Laundering Laws, and Sanctions; and (ii) review and revise such policies and procedures periodically to ensure compliance with applicable Anti-Corruption Laws, Anti-Money Laundering Laws, and Sanctions.
23
7.2 Use of Proceeds. PubCo shall use the proceeds from the Transactions for general corporate purposes of the Group Companies after the Closing, as may be determined by the Board, and may not declare or pay any dividend in respect of its share capital prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date except with prior written consent of the Sponsor (which consent may be granted, withheld or conditioned at the Sponsors sole and reasonable discretion).
7.3 Other Registration Rights and Arrangements. PubCo represents and warrants that no person, other than a Holder, has any right to require PubCo to register any of PubCos shares for sale or to include PubCos shares in any registration filed by PubCo for the sale of shares for its own account or for the account of any other person, other than any such right pursuant to the Private Placement Agreements. SPAC and the SPAC Investors hereby terminate the Prior SPAC Agreement, which shall be of no further force and effect and is hereby superseded and replaced in its entirety by this Agreement. The Company and the Company Investors hereby terminate the Prior Company Agreement effective upon consummation of the Mergers, and agree that upon consummation of the Mergers, the Prior Company Agreement shall be of no further force and effect and is hereby superseded and replaced in its entirety by this Agreement.
8. MISCELLANEOUS.
8.1 Assignment; No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.1, this Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of any Party may not be assigned or delegated by any Party in whole or in part. This Agreement and the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns and the Holders and their respective successors and permitted assigns. A Person who is not a Party has no right (whether under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Ordinance (Cap. 623 of the Laws of Hong Kong) or otherwise) to enforce any term of, or to enjoy any benefit under, this Agreement, other than as expressly set forth in Section 4 and this Section 8.1. The rights, duties and obligations of a Holder under this Agreement may be transferred by such Holder to a Permitted Transferee who acquires or holds Registrable Securities; provided, however, that such transferee has executed and delivered to PubCo a properly completed agreement to be bound by the terms of this Agreement substantially in form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a Deed of Adherence), and the transferor shall have delivered to PubCo no later than thirty (30) days following the date of the transfer, written notification of such transfer setting forth the name of the transferor, the name and address of the transferee, and the number of Registrable Securities so transferred. The execution of a Deed of Adherence shall constitute a permitted amendment of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, if the securities that a Holder wishes to transfer would not be Registrable Securities if held by such transferee, the transferee shall not be entitled to sign the Deed of Adherence or become a party hereto.
8.2 Amendments and Modifications. Upon the written consent of PubCo, the Sponsor and the Holders of at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities at the time in question, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment or modification hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one Holder, solely in his, her or its capacity as a holder of the shares of PubCo, in a manner that is materially different from the other Holders (in such capacity) shall require the consent of the Holder so affected; provided, further, that any amendment or modification to, or waiver of, Section 6 (including with respect to any defined term as used therein, whether or not such defined term is defined therein) shall not require the consent of the Holders. No course of dealing between any Holder or PubCo and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the part of a Holder or PubCo in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any Holder or PubCo. No single or partial exercise of any rights or remedies under this Agreement by a Party shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such Party.
24
8.3 Effectiveness and Term. This Agreement shall take effect only upon the Business Combination Closing, provided that (i) the provisions of this Section 8 shall take effect on the date hereof and (ii) any person who executes and delivers a Deed of Adherence in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto after the date hereof shall be deemed to be a party to this Agreement from the date of the delivery and shall be subject to the obligations of an Investor under this Agreement, whereupon Schedule I to this Agreement shall be deemed to have been updated with the information of such Person as set forth in the Deed of Adherence. This Agreement shall terminate (i) with respect to all Parties, upon mutual written consent of all Parties, and (ii) with respect to an Investor, upon such Investor and its Affiliates ceasing to hold any Registrable Securities. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (a) the provisions of Sections 4, 6.1.3, 6.2 and 8 (including with respect to any defined term as used therein, whether or not such defined term is defined therein) shall survive, and remain in full force and effect following, any termination of this Agreement, and (b) this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be void ab initio upon the Business Combination Agreement having been terminated in accordance with the terms therein without the Business Combination Closing having occurred.
8.4 Notices. All general notices, demands or other communications required or permitted to be given or made hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally or sent by courier or sent by registered post or sent by electronic mail to the intended recipient thereof at its address or at its email address set out below (or to such other address or email address as a Party may from time to time notify the other Parties).

Mr. Max Chen, Chairman, CEO & CFO of PCAC, and Partner of Primavera, said, We have been looking to support an emerging leader in the consumer sector with enduring global appeal and significant growth prospects in Asia. In Lanvin Group, we see a unique global business with a rich heritage, an entrepreneurial management team, and a differentiated strategy to build a luxury powerhouse for a new generation of consumers, especially benefiting from surging luxury consumption in Asia. Lanvin Group and Primavera share the same vision of nurturing and reinvigorating world-class luxury brands. We look forward to working together to further develop Lanvin Groups global platform and drive growth across its brand portfolio.
Diverse portfolio of iconic heritage brands and deep product know-how
Established by global innovation-driven consumer group Fosun International in 2017, Lanvin Groups portfolio of heritage brands includes the oldest operating French couture house Lanvin founded in 1889, Italian luxury shoemaker Sergio Rossi, Austrian skinwear specialist Wolford, iconic American womenswear brand St. John Knits, and high-end Italian menswear maker Caruso. With over 390 years of combined history, these five brands constantly refresh their look and feel to remain relevant to the new generation of luxury consumers. They have far-reaching global presence, operating in more than 80 countries with approximately 1,200 points of sales, 3,600 employees and over 300 retail stores across the world.
Lanvin Groups brand portfolio covers a wide variety of fashion categories and leverages a combination of e-commerce, offline retail and wholesale channels, providing both significant growth opportunities as well as stability and resilience throughout the fashion cycle.
Behind the brands products are the highest quality in craftsmanship and commitment to sustainability. Lanvin Group has six vertically integrated production facilities in Europe and North America, covering the manufacturing of luxury shoes, skinwear, knitwear, menswear and fashion jewelry, empowering its brands with unparalleled product know-how and R&D capabilities in their own respective categories.
Lanvin Groups ESG policy follows that of Fosun International, whose most recent MSCI ESG rating is AA. As a global luxury company, Lanvin Group and its brands take initiatives to create business value and prioritize sustainability.
Global growth ambition with significant runway in Asia and North America
Lanvin Groups portfolio of brands are recognized names in their existing markets where they have experienced robust growth over the past year. With the Groups backing and investment in digitalization, marketing and an expansion of their product categories and store footprint, the brands are uniquely positioned to exploit near-term growth opportunities, while setting the foundation for sustainable long-term success globally.
Lanvin Group has a strong foundation in Europe, with nearly half of the Groups revenue currently derived from EMEA. In addition to significant future growth opportunities in Europe, the Group is placing a strategic emphasis on realizing the brands untapped potential in both Asia and North America, where its brands are at an inflection point to achieve rapid and significant future growth. Greater China accounted for 14% of the Groups global revenue in 2021 with North America contributing 33% (15% excluding St. John Knits).

The global luxury goods market is expected to reach c.US$430 billion (380 billion) by 2025 with Chinese luxury consumption set to account for nearly half of the global market. 1 Lanvin Group is well-positioned to capture the enormous growth potential driven by flourishing demand for luxury goods globally. In the fast-growing Asian market, the Group and its strategic partners have unparalleled access and track record in backing international consumer brands and powering their growth. In North America, the brands are also beginning to unlock the huge growth potential of the market by opening new retail stores, expanding e-commerce channels, as well as launching dedicated marketing and brand collaborations.
Clear growth strategy with proven track record
Over the years, Lanvin Group has proven itself to be a leading platform for transformation of heritage brands through product innovation, strengthened merchandising, digitalization, omnichannel activation, new market entry, localized brand marketing, as well as leveraging its distinctive advantages and exceptional resources in APAC.
Its portfolio brands are fully equipped to optimize their product mix and expand into new categories, such as accessories and leather goods, which all represent significant growth opportunities. The portfolio brands will continue to tap into new trends including athleisure and cosmetics, and will evolve with the emerging, younger client base with high spending power.
As a testament to the success of Lanvin Groups strategy, the Lanvin brand, acquired by the Group in 2018, reaffirmed its strong growth trajectory in 2021, with global revenue growing 103% year-over-year. Of this growth, revenue in Greater China and North America increased by 122% and 298% respectively. Global e-commerce revenue increased by 407% compared to 2020 and by 14 times compared to 2019. 2
In addition to organic growth initiatives, Lanvin Group plans to use the transaction proceeds for potential future acquisitions that complement its luxury fashion ecosystem. The Group will continue to invest in high-quality assets with diverse markets and product categories that can benefit from its operational value-add, global expansion strategies, as well as refreshed value propositions targeting high-growth segments. While the Groups investment focus remains on high-end brands with rich brand heritage and fine craftsmanship, in 2022 it also plans to launch an incubator project dedicated to minority investments in fast-growing companies with strengths in creativity, digitalization, as well as sustainable and intelligent supply chains.
Unique investor ecosystem to drive synergies and sustainable growth
Lanvin Group has also leveraged its unique platform to assemble a one-of-a-kind strategic alliance of investors in the Group. The alliance comprises of multibillion-dollar enterprise partners along the luxury fashion value chain, operating across key sectors including product development, manufacturing, marketing and e-commerce. Joining together with a shared vision to empower Lanvin Groups portfolio brands and drive sustainable growth, the alliance of industry leaders includes:

The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the Risk Factors section of PubCos registration statement on Form F-4, the proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus discussed below, PCACs Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other documents filed by PubCo or PCAC from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, there may be additional risks that neither PCAC nor Lanvin Group presently know, or that PCAC or Lanvin Group currently believe are immaterial, that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.

If any of the risks materialize or PCACs or Lanvin Groups assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. PCAC and Lanvin Group anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause their assessments to change. However, while PubCo, PCAC and Lanvin Group may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, PubCo, PCAC and Lanvin Group specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, except as required by law. The inclusion of any statement in this document does not constitute an admission by Lanvin Group nor PCAC or any other person that the events or circumstances described in such statement are material. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing PCACs or Lanvin Groups assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this document. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements. In addition, the analyses of Lanvin Group and PCAC contained herein are not, and do not purport to be, appraisals of the securities, assets or business of the Lanvin Group, PCAC or any other entity.
Financial Information; Use of Non-IFRS Financial Metrics and Other Key Financial Metrics
Certain financial information and data contained in this communication is unaudited.
Accordingly, such information and data may not be included, may be adjusted or may be presented differently in any proxy statement, prospectus or registration statement or other report or document to be filed or furnished by PCAC or PubCo with the SEC. This communication includes certain non-IFRS financial measures (including on a forward-looking basis). These non-IFRS measures are an addition, and not a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS. Lanvin Group believes that these non- IFRS measures of financial results (including on a forward-looking basis) provide useful supplemental information to investors about Lanvin Group. Lanvin Groups management uses forward looking non-IFRS measures to evaluate Lanvin Groups projected financial and operating performance. Lanvin Group believes that the use of these non-IFRS financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends in and in comparing Lanvin Groups financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-IFRS financial measures to investors.
![]() |
![]() |
However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of these non-IFRS measures and their nearest IFRS equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-IFRS measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore FFGs non-IFRS measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Lanvin Group does not consider these non-IFRS measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. The principal limitation of these non-IFRS financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses, income and tax liabilities that are required by IFRS to be recorded in Lanvin Groups financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgements by Lanvin Group about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-IFRS financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, Lanvin Group presents non-IFRS financial measures in connection with IFRS results.

The risks presented below are certain of the general risks related to Fosun Fashion Group (Cayman) Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), Primavera Capital Acquisition Corporation (“SPAC”) and the proposed business combination between the Company and SPAC (the “Business Combination”), which will result in the formation of combined company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands with the name Lanvin Group Holdings Limited (“LGHL”). Such list encompasses only a non-exhaustive subset of the broad spectrum of risks and uncertainties that the Company and SPAC face, and that LGHL will face, after the Business Combination (including currently unknown risks), which individually or collectively may impair LGHL’s business, financial condition or results from operations and cause actual events or results to differ materially from what is reflected in this presentation. The list below has been prepared solely for purposes of the private placement transaction, and solely for potential private placement investors, and not for any other purpose. You should carefully consider these risks and uncertainties, and should carry out your own diligence and consult with your own financial and legal advisors concerning the risks and suitability of an investment in this offering before making an investment decision. Risks relating to the business of the Company will be disclosed in future documents filed or furnished by the Company and SPAC with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including the documents filed or furnished in connection with the Business Combination. The risks presented in such filings will be consistent with those that would be required for a public company in its SEC filings, including with respect to the business and securities of the Company and SPAC and the Business Combination, and may differ significantly from, and be more extensive than, those presented below. As used herein, references to “we,” “us” and “our” are intended to refer to the Company prior to the Business Combination and to the combined company (i.e., LGHL) following the Business Combination. • The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, a significant adverse impact on us. • Escalating global trade tensions, wars and conflicts, and the adoption or expansion of economic sanctions or trade restrictions could negatively affect us. • The long-term growth of our business depends on the successful execution of our strategic initiatives. • Our business is heavily dependent on the ability and desire of consumers to shop. • Our inability to effectively execute our digital commerce strategy could materially adversely affect the reputation of our brands and our revenue and our operating results may be harmed. • We are dependent on suppliers for our products and raw materials, which poses risks to our business operations. • We face intense competition in the luxury consumer industry. • We may not be able to continue to develop and grow our businesses. • The success of our luxury fashion businesses depends on the value of our brands and, if the value of either of those brands were to diminish, our business could be adversely affected. • Our customer relationships and sales have been and may be negatively impacted if we do not anticipate and respond to consumer preferences and fashion trends or manage inventory levels appropriately. • Future economic conditions, including volatility in the financial and credit markets, may adversely affect our business. • We are dependent on a limited number of distribution facilities. If one or more of our distribution facilities experience operational difficulties or become inoperable, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial conditions. • Our revenues and operating results are affected by the seasonal nature of our business and cyclical trends in consumer spending. • If our suppliers, licensees, or other business partners, or the suppliers used by our licensees fail to use legal and ethical business practices, our business could suffer. • Acquisitions may not be successful in achieving intended benefits, cost savings and synergies. • If our trademarks and intellectual property or other proprietary rights are not adequately protected to prevent use or appropriation by our competitors, the value of our brand and other intangible assets may be diminished, and our business may be adversely affected. • We are subject to certain laws, litigation, regulatory matters and ethical standards, and compliance or our failure to comply with or adequately address developments as they arise could adversely affect our reputation and operations. • We may lose key employees or may be unable to hire qualified employees. • We are exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. • Changes in China’s economic, legal, political or social conditions or government policies could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations. • Because of the costs and difficulties inherent in managing cross-border business operations, our results of operations may be negatively impacted. • The fact that FFG and most of its operating subsidiaries are all private companies and substantially all of their operations are conducted outside of the United States limits Primavera’s access to all information that may be relevant to the Business Combination. This may result in a business combination that is not as profitable as investors expect. • Future resales of the LGHL Ordinary Shares issued to the Fosun International may cause the market price of LGHL’s securities to drop significantly, even if LGHL’s business is doing well. • Following the consummation of the Business Combination, LGHL’s only significant asset will be its ownership of FFG and its affiliates and such ownership may not be sufficient to pay dividends or make distributions or obtain loans to enable LGHL to pay any dividends on its Ordinary Shares or satisfy other financial obligations. • LGHL’s Ordinary Shares may be delisted under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act if PCAOB is unable to inspect LGHL auditors for three consecutive years beginning in 2022. The delisting of LGHL’s Ordinary Shares, or the threat of their being delisted, may materially and adversely affect the value of your investment. • Fluctuations in operating results, earnings announcements and other factors, including incidents involving FFG’s customers and negative media coverage, may result in significant decreases in the price of LGHL securities post-Business Combination. • LGHL will incur higher costs post-Business Combination as a result of being a public company. • Primavera (and post-Business Combination, LGHL) shareholders may face difficulties in protecting their interests, and their ability to protect their rights through U.S. courts may be limited, because LGHL is incorporated under the law of the Cayman Islands, LGHL conducts substantially all of its operations, and a majority of its directors and executive officers reside, outside of the United States. • LGHL may or may not pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. • We expect to incur negative operating cash flows in the next few years and may need to raise substantial additional funding. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we would be forced to delay, scale back or discontinue some of our businesses or operations. • As a “foreign private issuer” under the rules and regulations of the SEC, LGHL is permitted to, and will, file less or different information with the SEC than a company incorporated in the United States or otherwise subject to these rules, and will follow certain home-country corporate governance practices in lieu of certain NYSE requirements applicable to U.S. issuers. • LGHL is an “emerging growth company,” and any decision on LGHL’s part to comply with certain reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies could make its Ordinary Shares less attractive to investors. • Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, LGHL will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of NYSE listing rules and, as a result, can rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that provide protection to shareholders of other companies. • LGHL’s controlling shareholder will have substantial influence over LGHL and its interests may not be aligned with the interests of LGHL’s other shareholders. • FFG has granted in the past, and LGHL will also grant in the future, share incentives, which may result in increased share-based compensation expenses. 56

Such agreements are under negotiation and subject to change. The consummation of the Proposed Business Combination will also be subject to other various risks and contingencies, including customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that the Proposed Business Combination will be consummated with the terms described herein or otherwise. As such, the subject matter of these materials is evolving and is subject to further change by FFG and PCAC in their joint and absolute discretion. Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC ) nor any securities commission or similar regulatory agency of any other U.S. or non-U.S. jurisdiction has reviewed, evaluated, approved or disapproved of the Proposed Business Combination presented herein, or determined that this Presentation is truthful or complete. No representations or warranties, express or implied, are given in, or in respect of, this Presentation. To the fullest extent permitted by law in no circumstances will PCAC, FFG or any of their respective subsidiaries, equity holders, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, representatives, advisers or agents be responsible or liable for a direct, indirect or consequential loss or loss of profit arising from the use of this Presentation, its contents, its omissions, reliance on the information contained within it, or on opinions communicated in relation thereto or otherwise arising in connection therewith. Industry and market data used in this Presentation have been obtained from third-party industry publications and sources as well as from research reports prepared for other purposes. Neither PCAC nor FFG has independently verified the data obtained from these sources and cannot assure you of the data's accuracy or completeness. This data is subject to change. In addition, this Presentation does not purport to be all-inclusive or to contain all of the information that may be required to make a full analysis of FFG or the Proposed Business Combination. Recipients of this Presentation should each make their own evaluation of FFG and of the relevance and adequacy of the information and should make such other investigations as they deem necessary. References in this Presentation to our partners or partnerships with technology companies, governmental entities, universities or others do not denote that our relationship with any such party is in a legal partnership form, but rather is a generic reference to our contractual relationship with such party. Forward-Looking Statements Certain statements included in this Presentation that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as believe, may, will, estimate, continue, anticipate, intend, expect, should, would, plan, predict, potential, seem, seek, future, outlook, and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of other financial and performance metrics and projections of market opportunity. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Presentation, and on the current expectations of the respective management of FFG and PCAC and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and must not be relied on by an investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of FFG and PCAC. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political, and legal conditions; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the Proposed Business Combination, including the risk that any regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the Proposed Business Combination or that the approval of the stockholders of PCAC or FFG is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Business Combination; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to FFG; risks related to the performance of FFG's business; the effects of competition on FFG's business; the amount of redemption requests made by PCAC's stockholders; the ability of PCAC or FFG to issue equity or obtain financing in connection with the Proposed Business Combination or in the future; and those factors discussed in PCAC's final prospectus that forms a part of PCAC's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-251917), filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) on January 6, 2021 and declared effective by the SEC as of January 21, 2021 (the Prospectus ) under the heading Risk Factors, and other documents PCAC has filed, or will file, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither PCAC nor FFG presently know, or that PCAC or FFG currently believe are immaterial, that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect PCAC's and FFG's expectations, plans, or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Presentation. PCAC and FFG anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause PCAC's and FFG's assessments to change. However, while PCAC and FFG may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, PCAC and FFG specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing PCAC's and FFG's assessments of any date subsequent to the date of this Presentation. Accordingly, reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements. Use of Projections This Presentation contains financial forecasts for FFG with respect to certain financial results for the Company's fiscal years 2021 through 2025. Neither PCAC nor FFG's independent auditors have audited, studied, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this Presentation. Such projected financial information constitutes forward-looking information and is for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as being indicative of future results. The assumptions and estimates underlying such projected financial information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, competitive, and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the prospective financial information. See Forward-Looking Statements above. Actual results will differ, and may differ materially, from the results contemplated by the projected financial information contained in this Presentation, and the inclusion of such information in this Presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results reflected in such projections will be achieved. The risk factor titles presented in this Presentation are certain of the risks related to the business of FFG, PCAC and the Proposed Business Combination, and such list is not exhaustive. The list in this Presentation is qualified in its entirety by disclosures contained in future documents filed or furnished by the FFG and PCAC with the SEC with respect to the Proposed Business Combination. There are many risks that could affect the business and results of operations of FFG, many of which are beyond its control. If any of these risks or uncertainties occurs, FFG's business, financial condition and/or operating results could be materially and adversely harmed. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known or those currently viewed to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect FFG's business, financial condition and/or operating results. Use of Data The data contained herein is derived from various internal and external sources. No representation is made as to the reasonableness of the assumptions made within or the accuracy or completeness of any projections or modeling or any other information contained herein. Any data on past performance or modeling contained herein is not an indication as to future performance. PCAC and FFG assume no obligation to update the information in this presentation. 57
Financial Information; Use of Non-IFRS Financial Metrics and Other Key Financial Metrics Certain financial information and data contained in this Presentation is unaudited. Accordingly, such information and data may not be included, may be adjusted or may be presented differently in any proxy statement, prospectus or registration statement or other report or document to be filed or furnished by PCAC with the SEC. This Presentation includes certain non-IFRS financial measures (including on a forward-looking basis) such as Adjusted EBITDA and maintenance capital expenditures. These non-IFRS measures are an addition, and not a substitute for or superior to measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with IFRS. FFG believes that these non- IFRS measures of financial results (including on a forward- looking basis) provide useful supplemental information to investors about FFG. FFG's management uses forward looking non-IFRS measures to evaluate FFG's projected financial and operating performance. FFG believes that the use of these non-IFRS financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating projected operating results and trends in and in comparing FFG's financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-IFRS financial measures to investors. However, there are a number of limitations related to the use of these non- IFRS measures and their nearest IFRS equivalents. For example, other companies may calculate non-IFRS measures differently, or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore FFG's non-IFRS measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. FFG does not consider these non-IFRS measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. The principal limitation of these non-IFRS financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses, income and tax liabilities that are required by IFRS to be recorded in FFG's financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgements by FFG about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-IFRS financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, FFG presents non-IFRS financial measures in connection with IFRS results. Subject to Change Based on Board Approval This Presentation has not yet been approved by the board of directors of FFG, and therefore remains subject to revision based on the board's review and input. Important Information About the Proposed Business Combination and Where to Find It In connection with the Proposed Business Combination, PCAC intends to file with the SEC a proxy statement that will be distributed to holders of PCAC's ordinary shares in connection with PCAC's solicitation of proxies for the vote by PCAC's stockholders with respect to the Proposed Business Combination and other matters as described in the proxy statement. PCAC will mail a definitive proxy statement, when available, to its stockholders. INVESTORS, SECURITY HOLDERS, POTENTIAL INVESTORS AND OTHER INTERESTED PERSONS ARE URGED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT, ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS THERETO AND ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PCAC, FFG AND THE PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION. Investors and security holders may obtain free copies of the preliminary proxy statement and the definitive proxy statement, and all other documents filed with the SEC by PCAC (in each case, when available) through the website maintained by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov, or by directing a request to Primavera Capital Acquisition Corporation at 41/F Gloucester Tower, 15 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong. INVESTMENT IN ANY SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SEC NOR ANY SECURITIES COMMISSION OR SIMILAR REGULATORY AGENCY OF ANY OTHER U.S. OR NON-U.S. JURISDICTION NOR HAS ANY AUTHORITY PASSED UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF THE OFFERING OR THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE. Participants in the Solicitation PCAC and FFG and their respective directors, certain of their respective executive officers and other members of management and employees may be considered participants in the solicitation of proxies with respect to the Proposed Business Combination. Information about the directors and executive officers of PCAC is set forth in its final prospectus dated January 21, 2021. Additional information regarding the participants in the proxy solicitation and a description of their direct and indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, will be in the proxy statement and other relevant materials to be filed with the SEC regarding the Proposed Business Combination when they become available. Investors, security holders, potential investors and other interested persons should read the proxy statement carefully when it becomes available before making any voting or investment decisions. You may obtain free copies of these documents as indicated above. No Offer or Solicitation This Presentation relates to the potential financing of a portion of the Proposed Business Combination through a private placement of common stock of PCAC to be issued in connection with the Proposed Business Combination. This Presentation shall not constitute a solicitation as defined in Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This Presentation does not constitute an offer, or a solicitation of an offer, to buy or sell any securities, investment or other specific product, or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities, investment or other specific product in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. Any offering of securities will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act ), and will be offered as a private placement to a limited number of institutional accredited investors as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act. Accordingly, the Securities must continue to be held unless a subsequent disposition is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Investors should consult with their counsel as to the applicable requirements for a purchaser to avail itself of any exemption under the Securities Act. The transfer of the Securities may also be subject to conditions set forth in an agreement under which they are to be issued. Investors should be aware that they might be required to bear the final risk of their investment for an indefinite period of time. Neither FFG nor PCAC is making an offer of the Securities in any state where the offer is not permitted. Trademarks and Trade Names FFG and PCAC and their respective affiliates own or have rights to various trademarks, service marks and trade names that they use in connection with the operation of their respective businesses. This Presentation also contains trademarks, service marks and trade names of third parties, which are the property of their respective owners. The use or display of third parties' trademarks, service marks, trade names or products in this Presentation is not intended in, and does not imply, a relationship with FFG, PCAC or any of their affiliates, or an endorsement or sponsorship by or of FFG, PCAC or such affiliates. Solely for convenience, the trademarks, service marks and trade names referred to in this Presentation may appear without the TM or SM symbols, but such references are not intended to indicate, in any way, that FFG, PCAC, their affiliates or any third parties whose trademarks are referenced herein will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, their rights or the right of the applicable licensor in these trademarks, service marks and trade names. 58

Lanvin Group was established by Fosun International Limited in 2017 to capitalize on the surging global demand for luxury fashion, especially in the North American and Asian markets. Fosun is one of the largest global consumer companies in Asia, recording 17.1 billion euros of revenue and 96.1 billion euros in total assets as of 2020.
Fosun has a proven track record of creating market-leading consumer companies.
In the past 10 years, Fosun has successfully listed multiple consumer companies such as Fosun Tourism Group, known as Foliday, Fosun Pharma and Yuyuan Tourist Mart. A perfect example of Fosuns ability to revitalize heritage brands in Asia and globally, is the success it has seen with Club Med, the iconic French resort operator part of Fosun Tourism Group.
We are excited to partner with Primavera in creating the next champion in the line. With that, I would like to introduce you to Max Chen, Chairman & CEO & CFO of Primavera Capital Acquisition Corp, and Partner of Primavera.

Max:
Thanks David. I am Max Chen, Chairman, CEO & CFO of Primavera Capital Acquisition Corporation, and a Partner of Primavera Capital. Primavera Capital is a global investment management firm founded in 2010. Our founder Dr. Fred Hu is a well-respected economist, banker and investor who has 30 years of investment and leadership experience.
Since day one, we have identified consumption upgrade as a top investment theme. Over the years we have built an impressive track record in the consumer sector, with success in some of the most high-profile landmark deals.
Since the listing of our SPAC over a year ago, we have been looking for an emerging leader in the consumer sector that has both an enduring global appeal and significant growth prospects in Asia. We are delighted to have found Lanvin Group as the perfect partner for our SPAC.
In Lanvin Group, we see a unique global business with a rich heritage and a differentiated strategy to build a luxury powerhouse in Asia and the world. Primavera and the entrepreneurial management team at Lanvin Group, share the vision of nurturing and reinvigorating world-class luxury brands to create substantial value for consumers, investors and business partners across the globe.
We are confident that our partnership will not only enhance Lanvin Groups global competitive advantages, but also fulfil its full growth potential by developing new markets and cultivating a new generation of consumers.
We look forward to working together in the coming months and years to achieve our shared goals. Thank you very much.
With that I will turn it back to David.

David:
Thank you Max.
Now, lets talk about Lanvin Group.
Lanvin Group is a global luxury fashion group operating five prestigious brands across over 80 countries with approximately 1,200 point of sales and 300 plus retail stores. We employ around 3,600 employees across the world and have six vertically integrated manufacturing facilities.
We are a proven business with a robust balance sheet and strong cash flow, as well as strong capital backing from global institutional investors and strategic investors in the luxury fashion segment.
Our pro forma revenue is estimated at 333 million euros in 2021 and we expect to grow at a 31% CAGR through the next three years to 2025.
We have a significant runway of growth ahead.
We see the key drivers for growth coming from Asia Pacific and North America, which are two of the largest luxury fashion markets in the world. As you can see, currently, Greater China revenue represents only 14% of our global business. We expect that to double in terms of percentage to 28% by 2025. At the same time, most of our portfolio brands are from Europe and have had limited penetration in North America which we see as a huge opportunity.
We intend to exploit the untapped growth opportunities in the near-term, as well as setting the foundation for long-term success, with new store opening, e-commerce activation and product category expansion.
-Page 11-12-
Now, lets talk about our unique global platform and the growth opportunities.
-Page 13-
The global luxury market has been steadily growing, and incredibly resilient, as shown by its performance through the pandemic. It has experienced growth of 6% a year for the past 20 years or so. Despite a dip in 2020, the luxury personal good market has rebounded the fastest, versus other luxury segments. According to an independent study, the global personal luxury goods market is expected to rebound at 8% per year, surpassing the historical growth rate.
China is set to be one of the major growth markets over the next few years. By 2025, the global luxury consumption market is expected to be a 380 billion euro market. Chinese luxury consumption is expected to grow at a 27% CAGR which will make it the largest luxury consumer market accounting for 45% of the overall market.
-Page 14-
Lanvin Group is exactly established to capitalize on these significant growth opportunities. Traditionally, most of the luxury fashion groups are from Europe and North America, as luxury fashion consumption has been driven by those markets over the past 20 to 30 years.
With significant growth set to come from Asia over the next five to 10 years, we have set up the first, and only, leading global luxury group in a unique position to address these untapped growth opportunities.
-Page 15-
We are a global luxury fashion company operating in over 80 countries. While Asia remains a key growth driver for us, we place an equal strategic emphasis on our global business, especially in Europe and North America where our portfolio brands originate.
-Page 16-
We operate a very distinctive portfolio of brands, covering diverse product categories and distribution channels. They dont stand in competition with one another, but instead complement each other. They include the oldest Frech couture house Lanvin, Italian luxury shoemaker Sergio Rossi, Austrian skinwear specialist Wolford, American womenswear brand St. John Knits and high-end Italian menswear maker Caruso. I will talk more in detail in section two.
With over 390 years of combined history, these five brands constantly refresh their look and feel to remain relevant to the new generation of luxury consumers.
-Page 17-
We have also created a unique strategic alliance comprised of multibillion-dollar enterprise partners along the luxury fashion value chain. Each of them is a champion in their own respective field and share our vision to empower our portfolio brands.
ITOCHU is arguably the largest Japanese trading house especially in the fashion segment; K11 provides us extensive access to high-end lifestyle locations in Asia; Activation Group supports online and offline marketing solutions, including Lanvins Yu Garden fashion show in 2020; Baozun handles e-commerce for us and many other luxury fashion brands in China; Neo-Concept Group provides strong apparel R&D and manufacturing capabilities of sustainable textiles.
All of them are not only our strategic partners but our shareholders. They work closely with us on daily operations to accelerate the growth of our brands. We will continue to expand this strategic ecosystem.
-Page 18-
While we are a relatively young company, we are very excited about our strong performance in the past couple of years.
If you look at the first nine months of 2021, Lanvin the brand delivered 107% growth in global revenue compared to the same period in 2020. It significantly outperformed its global peers. Lanvins growth is not only driven by the Asian markets, but also globally, especially the North American market. In 2021,Lanvins North American revenue increased 283% year on year while revenue grew by 144% in Greater China .
On a group level, we delivered growth of 116% in the Greater China market, again significantly outperforming our peers.
Globally, our revenue achieved 36% year-on-year growth.
Our digital offering and retail footprint are certainly two of our major focuses in the long run, and we have already seen encouraging results in recent years. For example, Lanvins global e-commerce revenue increased by 5.7 times compared to the previous year.
-Page 19-
With a strong foundation of creative talent and brand equity in Europe, we have identified key areas where we can capitalize on the high growth opportunities that exist globally, while setting the stage for long-term success.
Product is obviously key to our business.
We have spent a lot of time in the past few years developing on-trend products for our customers and expanding into new categories for our brands.
For example, when we first acquired Lanvin in 2018, it was predominantly a ready to wear brand. So we spent a lot of effort expanding into leather goods and sneakers. We also continue to explore other high-growth categories such as accessories and cosmetics. By expanding into new categories we are able to tap into an even broader audience and nurture the next generation of loyal customers, who are younger and more willing to spend on high-quality, trendy luxury goods.
The same story goes for Wolford. With a deep history, DNA and know-how in fabrics, Wolford is well placed to produce and manufacture best-in-class Athleisure and activewear.
As for the brands retail footprints, there is still significant room for expansion, not only in the home countries, but also in North America and Asia. By 2025 we intend to open around 200 new stores across the world.
We strive to create an omnichannel experience for our customers, where e-commerce plays a crucial role in our growth in North American and Asian markets. It is all about getting into the right online channels and bringing these services and e-commerce capabilities inhouse to maximize our reach.
-Page 20-
In addition to organic growth initiatives, we will continue to invest in high-quality assets that complement our luxury fashion ecosystem and brands that can benefit from our operational value-add and global expansion strategies.
In 2017 and 2018 we made two acquisitions a year, and then we spent about two years really focusing on operations and revamping the products and strategies.
Weve seen proven results in 2020 and 2021, despite the impact of COVID-19, which gave us the confidence to make another acquisition, which is Sergio Rossi.
We are not a private equity fund. We dont have to make acquisitions every year. We are very active when we see the right fit and right strategy for acquisition targets. We already identified two potential investment targets, and part of our proceeds will be used for acquisitions.
-Page 21-
In terms of the team. We have a very diverse team of management in Europe, North America and Asia. While the Group itself is young, the management team is composed of fashion industry veterans with decades of experience in the luxury fashion industry. They have the international knowledge and insights to drive the brand successfully across all target markets and business channels.
Also we are joined by well-regarded and bold creative talents like Bruno, Evangelie and Aldo, who will help us reinforce the brands DNA and take the brands heritage to the next stage.
Although these veterans came from traditional luxury houses and different brands, all of them share our vision to build a new global luxury group and they are all excited about the future. This speaks volumes about the attractiveness and potential of our portfolio, as well as our innovative management structure and disruptive initiatives.
We are very proud of the innovative management structure that we have created. It allows us to recognize the different drivers and growth levers in the established North American and European markets and the fast-growing Asian markets. Management teams across the world are given the autonomy to make bold and swift decisions to capitalize on opportunities in their local markets and still benefit from the strength of our global platform.
-Page 22-
On the creative side, we have also created an interface that complements our brands in-house design studios with creative talent platforms in both Europe and Asia. The Milan Creative Lab and Bond on Bund are exactly set up to consolidate and facilitate creativity, ultimately to be able to react faster to the surging market demand.
-Page 23-
We never forget that luxury is really about the highest quality of craftsmanship and know how. Perfection is at the core of what we do.
Across the portfolio we have six vertically integrated manufacturing facilities in Europe and North America, covering the manufacturing of luxury shoes, skinwear, knitwear, menswear and jewellery. There are significant synergies that we can leverage to power the growth across the portfolio.
-Page 24-
Sustainability is a key pillar of Lanvin Groups growth strategy.
Lanvin Group is committed to operating its businesses in the best interests of the environment and working together with its employees, suppliers and customers to ensure long-term sustainable growth.
We aim to develop the business in step with sustainable policies on environmental and social issues, and we are committed to a process of continual improvement on these important matters.
-Page 25-
We believe Lanvin Group presents a very interesting investment opportunity because we offer investors the opportunities to participate in a global, mature, stable business with the high growth potential of a start-up.
The luxury fashion market is stable and resilient; in fact its one of the oldest industries in the world, and we have identified significant untapped growth opportunities in the near term, driven primarily by the North America and Asia market.
We are young, yet already have a proven track record and a clear, actionable roadmap to long-term profitability.
We are at an inflexion point and only scratching the surface of our growth potential.
-Page 26-
Now lets talk about our portfolio of iconic heritage brands.
-Page 27-
Lanvin is the oldest operating French couture house founded in 1889. It is a multi-gender luxury house, covering a wide range of products, including ready to wear, footwear, accessories, leather goods, and fragrances, among others. It has one of the most valuable luxury heritage archives and has been synonymous with classic Parisian elegance. Lanvin also holds one of the 16 board memberships of the Federation of Haute Couture and Fashion, the pinnacle association for the French fashion industry.
-Page 28-
Wolford is the largest luxury skinwear brand in the world, founded in 1950 in Austria. In 1954, the company wrote fashion history with the first pair of seamless nylon stockings. The brand is best known for its diverse legwear and bodywear, curated with the highest level of craftsmanship and sustainable and ethical production standards. The brand has also successfully diversified into the fast-growing athleisure and activewear category.
-Page 29-
Sergio Rossi is an Italian luxury shoemaker founded in 1951. The brands DNA is built around quality, craftsmanship, authenticity and Italian heritage. It has expanded its offering into the mens footwear category. Sergio Rossi has a beautiful factory in San Mauro Pascoli with 200+ talented artisans and employees.
-Page 30-
St. John is an iconic American womenswear brand founded in 1962, best known for its simple, versatile knitwear. The brand has a unique American heritage, beloved by some of the most famous people in history for its timeless elegance and craftsmanship.
-Page 31-
Caruso is a high-end Italian menswear maker founded by the legendary tailor Raffaele Caruso in 1958. Over the years, the brand has evolved from a project manufacturer into a luxury lifestyle brand, expanding its made-in-Italy tailoring to more casual, elegant menswear. Now, Shang our CFO will quickly walk you through the financials.
-Page 32-
Shang:
Thank you David. My name is Shang Koo, I am the CFO of Lanvin Group.
-Page 33-
First, a brief summary of our key numbers in 2021. Our 2021 pro-forma revenue, including the full year contribution for Sergio Rossi was 333 million euros, up 23% from 2020. Of this, 14% or 46 million euros came from Greater China while 109 million came from North America. House Lanvin was the biggest growth contributor, more than doubling its revenue and nearly quadrupling its scale in North America.
-Page 34-
In terms of profitability, 2021 was a critical year for us as we hit the inflexion point for contribution margin, which turned positive. By contribution margin I mean gross profit minus our store level selling expenses and brand HQ level marketing expenses. What is left is the fixed cost at HQ level. With positive and improving contribution margins, we can be confident in investing to scale our business to profitability, which based on our analysis is around 600 million euro level. We expect to reach profitability by 2024.
By 2025, we expect our existing brands to reach 875 million euros in revenue, with another 114 million coming from a new acquisition. Overall, we expect our revenues to triple to 989 million euros from 2021 to 2025.
-Page 35-
Of this growth, House Lanvin and Wolford will be our major contributors. At the end of 2021, House Lanvin only had 27 retail and outlet locations, so were just getting started in our expansion. We believe both of these brands have the potential to scale to 1 billion euros.
-Page 36-
As we scale our business, we expect significant margin expansion from both efficiencies in gross margin as well as operating leverage. Gross margin will benefit from continued category expansion to leather goods and shoes, as well as growth of our retail and e-commerce channels. At the same time, our selling expenses as a % of our revenue will decrease significantly in 2023 and 2024 as our new store openings in the next 2 years reach their full potential. We saw amazing performance from our new stores in 2021, and are confident that our new locations can scale to individual store profitability within 6 to 12 months.
-Page 37-
And now, I will turn it back over to David for the transaction overview.
-Page 38-
David:
Thank you Shang.
This transaction values Lanvin Group at a pro forma enterprise value of US$1.5 billion, with a combined pro forma equity value of approximately up to US$1.9 billion. This equates to approximately 2.7x FY22 Sales.
As part of the transaction, all of Lanvin Groups existing shareholders will roll 100% of their shares in Lanvin Group into the combined company and will retain approximately 65% ownership.
Lanvin Group will receive gross proceeds of up to US$544 million, including up to US$414 million of cash currently held in the SPACs trust account, a fully committed PIPE and forward purchase equity financing of US$130 million.
Today marks an exciting milestone in Lanvin Groups growth journey. We are excited to partner with Primavera. In recent years, we have invested in prestigious heritage brands and also created a strategic alliance of industry-leading companies as partners and co-investors.
We have a strong foundation of creative talent and brand equity in Europe, with a unique position to capture significant untapped growth opportunities in the near term and to achieve long-term success in the worlds largest luxury marketsNorth America and Asia.
We plan to accelerate the growth of our portfolio through a combination of organic development and further disciplined acquisitions, building a global portfolio of iconic luxury fashion brands that appeal to a broad customer base.

On behalf of the entire management team, thank you for listening to this presentation and we are truly excited about what lies ahead. Thank you.
