INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT ON FORM 6-K

Introductory Explanatory Note

On November 27, 2024, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Procaps Group, S.A. (the “Company”) approved the issuance, through a private offering or offerings (the “Offering”) exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of up to $100 million in securities in the form of ordinary shares of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”) or securities convertible into Ordinary Shares. In connection with such approval, on November 29, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into a Secured Convertible Note Subscription Agreement (the “NSA”) with Hoche Partners Pharma Holdings S.A., an entity controlled by Alejandro Weinstein (“Hoche”), pursuant to which the Company may issue up to $40 million in Secured Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Notes”) to Hoche pursuant to the terms and conditions therein, of which an aggregate of $20 million in Convertible Notes were issued on November 29, 2024. The NSA and Convertible Notes are described further below.

In connection with the Company’s entry into the NSA, the Company entered into various ancillary agreements described below. The transactions contemplated by the NSA and ancillary agreements described below (the “Transaction Documents”) are collectively referred to herein as the “Transactions.”

The sale and issuance of the initial Convertible Note pursuant to the NSA has not been, and any future sale and/or issuance of Convertible Notes and/or Ordinary Shares in connection with the Transactions will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. The securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. Neither this Report on Form 6-K, nor the exhibits attached hereto, is an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein or therein.

Note Subscription Agreement and Convertible Notes

As disclosed above, on November 29, 2024, the Company and Hoche entered into the NSA. In connection therewith, the Company issued to Hoche a Convertible Note in principal amount of $20 million (the “Initial Note”).

Pursuant to the NSA, Hoche has the obligation to subscribe for and purchase an additional Convertible Note in principal amount of $20 million on or prior to December 31, 2024 (the “Second Note”); provided that in the event that other third-party investors subscribe for and purchase Ordinary Shares in an aggregate amount in excess of $35,000,000 (such amount in excess of $35,000,000, the “Excess Amount”), and consummate such investments prior to December 27, 2024, Hoche shall have the option (but not the obligation) to reduce the principal amount of the Second Note by an amount not to exceed the Excess Amount. There can be no assurances that any third-party investors will subscribe for or purchase any Ordinary Shares in connection with the Offering.

The Convertible Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 8.50%, payable in-kind, quarterly in arrears, and mature on June 30, 2025. All accrued and unpaid interest due at the end of each such quarterly period shall be paid in kind by capitalizing such interest and adding it to (and thereby increasing) the then-outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Notes. Other key terms of the Convertible Notes, including those related to the conversion thereof, follow:

Conversion

Certain Definitions related to Conversion

“Conversion Amount” means, with respect to the Initial Note, the original principal amount of the Initial Note, and with respect to the Second Note, the original principal amount of the Second Note (for the avoidance of doubt, the Conversion Amount shall not include any capitalized or accrued and unpaid interest on the Convertible Notes).

“Conversion Price” means (a) in the event no Triggering Event occurs, a conversion price per Ordinary Share of $0.75, or (b) in the event any Triggering Event occurs, a conversion price per Ordinary Share of $0.50.

“Triggering Event” means: (a) the Company is finally delisted from Nasdaq or (b) the trading of the Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq is suspended (even if temporarily for any period of time and later reinstated), in each case of (a) and (b), exclusively as a result of either:

(i) the Company’s failure to file its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2023, as stated on the notice received by the Company on November 13, 2024 from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq, within any extended time period granted by the Nasdaq Hearings Panel; or

(ii) the Company being in violation of any applicable Nasdaq Listing Rule and receiving any delinquency notice from Nasdaq prior to December 31, 2026, as a result of any actions taken by management or the board of directors of the Company prior to the Effective Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, a Triggering Event shall not include or be deemed to occur in connection with any temporary trading halt that may be imposed by Nasdaq as a result of a major news announcement or stock price fluctuations, imbalance of buy and sell orders, or any stock price circuit breakers.

Optional Conversion

In the event the Convertible Notes have not automatically converted as described below, at any time prior to maturity, the Convertible Notes are convertible, at the option of Hoche, into (a) the Warrant (as defined below) and (b) a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Conversion Amount by (ii) the Conversion Price, rounded down to the nearest whole Ordinary Share (collectively, the “Conversion Consideration”).

Automatic Conversion

In the event the Convertible Notes have not converted at the option of Hoche as described above, the Convertible Notes shall automatically convert into the Conversion Consideration in the event that other third-party investors subscribe for and purchase Ordinary Shares in an aggregate amount of no less than $35,000,000 in connection with the Offering.

Post-Conversion Adjustment

If a Triggering Event occurs following the conversion of the Convertible Notes, the Company shall issue to Hoche an additional number of Ordinary Shares equal to the difference between (i) an amount equal to the quotient of the Conversion Amount divided by $0.50, and (ii) an amount equal to the number of Ordinary Shares previously issued upon conversion of the Convertible Notes.

Warrant

Upon conversion of the Convertible Notes (whether at the election of Hoche or automatically), the Company shall issue a warrant (the “Warrant”) to Hoche for a face amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the Conversion Amount by (ii) by 0.25 (the “Warrant Amount”). The Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part to purchase a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the Warrant Amount by the Exercise Price (as defined below). The exercise price per Ordinary Share issued pursuant to the Warrant shall be $0.75; provided that in the event a Triggering Event occurs, the exercise price shall be $0.50 (the “Exercise Price”). If a Triggering Event occurs after the date any Ordinary Shares have been purchased and issued under the Warrant, the Company shall issue to the holder of the Warrant an additional number of Ordinary Shares equal to the difference between: (A) the aggregate Exercise Price of all Ordinary Shares purchased and issued under the Warrant as of immediately prior to the occurrence of such Triggering Event, divided by $0.50, and (B) the total number of Ordinary Shares purchased and issued under the Warrant as of immediately prior to the occurrence of such Triggering Event.

Security

The Company’s obligations under the Convertible Notes and other related agreements are secured by a first priority security interest in favor of Hoche in all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of Crynssen Pharma Group Ltd, a private limited liability company registered and incorporated under the laws of Malta and direct subsidiary of the Company (“Crynssen,” and such equity interests, the “Collateral”), granted pursuant to that certain Share Pledge Agreement, dated as of November 29, 2024 (the “Pledge Agreement”), by and among the Company, Hoche and Crynssen. The NSA contains a covenant that limits the Company’s ability to place liens on the Collateral or on any other equity interests of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, subject to customary exceptions.

Events of Default

The Convertible Notes provide for customary events of default which include (subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods), among others: (i) nonpayment of principal or interest; (ii) breach of covenants or other agreements in the Convertible Notes, the NSA or the Pledge Agreement; (iii) material breach by the Company of any representation or warranty contained in the NSA; (iv) any of the Convertible Notes, the NSA or the Pledge Agreement is suspended, revoked or terminated or for any reason cease to be valid and binding or in full force and effect, the performance by the Company of any of its obligations under such agreements shall become unlawful, or the validity of any such agreements shall be contested by the Company; (v) any lien or pledge provided in the NSA, the Convertible Notes or the Pledge Agreement shall cease to exist once perfected or shall cease to give Hoche a perfected security interest on the Collateral; (vi) the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries is in default in the performance of or compliance with any term of any evidence of any indebtedness in an aggregate outstanding principal amount of at least $7,500,000 or of any mortgage, indenture or other agreement relating thereto or any other condition exists, and as a consequence of such default or condition such indebtedness has become, or has been declared, due and payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment; and (iv) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency.

The foregoing descriptions of the NSA, the Initial Note, the Pledge Agreement and the Warrant are only summaries and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the NSA, the Initial Note, the Pledge Agreement and the form of Warrant, which are filed as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3 and 99.4, respectively, to this Report on Form 6-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Certain Nasdaq Considerations

On November 21, 2024, the Company notified Nasdaq that it has elected to follow certain Luxembourg practices in lieu of the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5600, with the exception of those rules which are required to be followed pursuant to the provisions of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5615(a)(3).

Specifically, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635 requires shareholder approval in connection with, among other things, (A) the issuance of securities in connection with an acquisition of the stock or assets of another company if (i) the issuance will result in the issuance of 20% or more of the voting power or number of shares of common equity outstanding prior to the proposed issuance or (ii) certain affiliates have a 5% interest (or 10% interest on a collective basis) in the company or assets proposed to be acquired, (B) an issuance of securities results in a change of control of the Company, (C) the issuance of securities in connection with a new or materially amended equity compensation plan and (D) certain private offerings of 20% or more of the Company’s common equity outstanding prior to the offering at a price below the Minimum Price (as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d)). The Company has chosen to follow Luxembourg law applicable to it with respect to shareholder approval in connection with issuance of securities in lieu of following Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635. Under Luxembourg law, the Company is generally not required to seek shareholder approval in connection with the issuance of securities in the contexts described above.

As required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5615(a)(3), Procaps will also disclose in its next Annual Report on Form 20-F, each requirement of Listing Rule 5600 that it does not follow and describe the Luxembourg practice followed in lieu of such requirements.

In accordance with the foregoing, the Transactions and entry into the Transaction Documents did not require the approval of the Company’s shareholders.
