On September 10, 2024, Learn CW Investment Corporation ( “Learn CW”)
and Innventure LLC (“Innventure”) issued a press release announcing the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”) by Learn SPAC HoldCo, Inc. (“Holdco”)
relating to their previously announced proposed business combination (the “Business Combination”). A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit
99.1.
Furnished as Exhibit 99.2 hereto is a social media post made by Innventure on September 10, 2024 on its Corporate account on LinkedIn, X, Facebook and Instagram.
The information in this Item 7.01, and Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 attached hereto, are furnished pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall they be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
On September 10, 2024, Learn CW announced that it expects to hold an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders on September 30, 2024 to seek approval of the Business Combination and certain other related
matters.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This current report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including statements regarding the parties’ or the parties’ respective management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions, plans, prospects or strategies regarding the future, including the
Business Combination, the parties’ ability to close the Business Combination, the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, including revenue growth and financial performance, product expansion and services, and the financial condition,
results of operations, earnings outlook and prospects of Innventure and/or Learn CW, including, in all cases, statements for the period following the consummation of the Business Combination. Any statements contained herein that are not statements
of historical fact are forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “outlook,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,”
“should,” “will,” “would” and other similar words and expressions, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. The forward-looking statements contained in this current report are based on the current
expectations and beliefs of the management of Learn CW and Innventure in light of their respective experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments and their potential effects on Learn CW and
Innventure as well as other factors they believe are appropriate in the circumstances. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting Learn CW or Innventure will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements
involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the control of the parties) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking
statements, including those discussed and identified in the public filings made or to be made with the SEC by Learn CW, including in the final prospectus relating to Learn CW’s initial public offering, which was filed with the SEC on October 12,
2021 under the heading “Risk Factors,” or made or to be made by Learn SPAC Holdco, Inc., including in the Registration Statement. These risks and uncertainties include: expectations regarding Innventure’s strategies and future financial
performance, including its future business plans, expansion and acquisition plans or objectives, prospective performance and opportunities and competitors, revenues, products and services, pricing, operating expenses, product and service
acceptance, market trends, liquidity, cash flows and uses of cash, capital expenditures, and Innventure’s ability to invest in growth initiatives; the implementation, market acceptance and success of Innventure’s business model and growth strategy;
Innventure’s future capital requirements and sources and uses of cash; that Innventure will have sufficient capital upon the approval of the Business Combination to operate as anticipated; Innventure’s ability to obtain funding for its operations
and future growth; developments and projections relating to Innventure’s competitors and industry; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the BCA; the outcome of any legal proceedings
that may be instituted against Learn SPAC Holdco, Inc., Learn CW or Innventure following announcement of the BCA and the transactions contemplated therein; the inability to complete the Business Combination due to, among other things, the failure
to obtain Learn CW shareholder approval; regulatory approvals; the risk that the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination disrupts Innventure’s current plans; the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business
Combination; unexpected costs related to the Business Combination; the amount of any redemptions by existing holders of Learn CW’s common stock being greater than expected; limited liquidity and trading of Learn CW’s securities; geopolitical risk
and changes in applicable laws or regulations; the possibility that Learn CW and/or Innventure may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; the potential characterization of Innventure as an investment company
subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940; operational risk; and the risk that the consummation of the Business Combination is significantly delayed or does not occur. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should
any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements in this current report are made as of the date hereof, based on
information available to Learn CW and Innventure as of the date hereof, and Learn CW and Innventure assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be
required under applicable law.
