Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.

Primavera Capital Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“PCAC”), recently received letters from Sky Venture Partners L.P. (“Sky Venture”), claiming that it has been relieved of its obligations under the Forward Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 4, 2021, between PCAC, Primavera Capital Acquisition LLC (the “Sponsor”) and Sky Venture (the “Sky Venture FPA”), pursuant to which Sky Venture committed to, among other things, purchase 4,000,000 Class A ordinary shares of PCAC and 1,000,000 warrants of PCAC (collectively, the “forward purchase units”) for an aggregate purchase price of US$40,000,000. In consideration of Sky Venture’s commitment to purchase the forward purchase units, the Sponsor transferred 500,000 Class B ordinary shares of PCAC to Sky Venture. Under the Sky Venture FPA, Sky Venture also agreed to vote all of the Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares held by it in favor of a business combination transaction proposed by PCAC. PCAC’s previously announced proposed business combination with Fosun Fashion Group (Cayman) Limited (“Lanvin Group”), is described in its proxy statement/prospectus dated November 4, 2022, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and mailed to PCAC shareholders. Sky Venture has now repudiated its obligations under the Sky Venture FPA, including the obligations to purchase the forward purchase units and vote all of the PCAC ordinary shares held by it in favor of the business combination transaction.

PCAC believes that Sky Venture’s claims are without merit and that Sky Venture remains bound by all of its obligations under the Sky Venture FPA. Should Sky Venture fail to honor its contractual commitments, PCAC intends to cause the forfeiture of the 500,000 Class B ordinary shares currently held by Sky Venture and vigorously enforce all of PCAC’s rights and pursue all available remedies against Sky Venture, including seeking specific performance of Sky Venture’s commitments pursuant to the Sky Venture FPA.

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 Lanvin Group, 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 with PCAC, 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 Lanvin Group and PCAC, which are all subject to change due to various factors. 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 with PCAC; changes to the proposed structure of the business combination with PCAC 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 with PCAC 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 with PCAC or that the approval of the shareholders of PCAC or the Lanvin Group is not obtained; the risk that the business combination with PCAC disrupts current plans and operations of PCAC or the Lanvin Group as a result of the announcement and consummation of the business combination with PCAC; the ability of the Lanvin Group 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 New York Stock Exchange following the business combination with PCAC; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the business combination with PCAC; risk relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to the Lanvin Group; 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 Lanvin Group’s business; Lanvin Group’s ability to implement its business strategy; Lanvin Group’s ability to manage expenses; changes in applicable laws and governmental regulation and the impact of such changes on Lanvin Group’s business, Lanvin Group’s

exposure to litigation claims and other loss contingencies; the risks associated with negative press or reputational harm; disruptions and other impacts to Lanvin Group’s business, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and government actions and restrictive measures implemented in response; Lanvin Group’s ability to protect patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights; any breaches of, or interruptions in, Lanvin Group’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 Lanvin Group’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 LGHL’s Registration Statement on Form F-4, PCAC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and other documents filed by LGHL 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. Forward-looking statements reflect PCAC’s and Lanvin Group’s expectations, plans, projections or forecasts of future events and view. If any of the risks materialize or PCAC’s or Lanvin Group’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 Lanvin Group anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause their assessments to change. However, while LGHL, PCAC and Lanvin Group may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, LGHL, 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 PCAC’s or Lanvin Group’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 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.
