Introduction

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position as of June 30, 2022, combines the historical balance sheet of TPB SPAC as of June 30, 2022, with the historical combined statement of financial position of the Lavoro Group as of June 30, 2022, giving pro forma effect to the Business Combination, as if it had occurred on June 30, 2022.

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of profit or loss for the year ended June 30, 2022 combines the historical statement of operations data of TPB SPAC for the year ended June 30, 2022 and the historical combined statement of profit or loss of the Lavoro Group for the year ended June 30, 2022, giving pro forma effect to the Business Combination and the acquisitions completed by the Lavoro Group of Cenagro, Cenagral, Produttiva, Union Agro, AgroZap and Nova Geração (collectively referred to as the “Lavoro Acquisitions”), as discussed further in Note 20 to the combined financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022, which are below the threshold of significant acquisitions on an individual and aggregated basis, as if they had occurred on July 1, 2021.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position as of June 30, 2022, has been derived from:

·the unaudited financial data of the Lavoro Acquisitions.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

1. Description of the Business Combination

 

On September 14, 2022, the Lavoro Group and TPB SPAC entered into the Business Combination Agreement. As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, TPB SPAC and the Lavoro Group became direct wholly owned subsidiaries of New Lavoro and each of the shareholders of the Lavoro Group and the shareholders of TPB SPAC became shareholders of New Lavoro and received Ordinary Shares. At the closing of the Business Combination, New Lavoro’s shares and warrants were started to trade on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol LVRO and LVROW, respectively, and New Lavoro became a publicly listed entity.

 

The TPB SPAC also entered into separate Subscription Agreements, each dated September 14, 2022, with the PIPE Investors, pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions thereto, the PIPE Investors collectively subscribed for an aggregate of 10 million TPB SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares for an aggregate purchase price of R$523.8 million. The PIPE Investment was consummated immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination and each TPB SPAC Class A Ordinary Share subscribed for by the PIPE Investors was exchanged for one New Lavoro Class A Ordinary Share, substantially concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination. As of the closing of the Business Combination, 14,663,445 shares were redeemed in aggregate by certain TPB SPAC shareholders.

 

Ultimately, (i) all TPB SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares, with a par value of R$0.0005, outstanding were exchanged with New Lavoro for the right to receive New Lavoro Class A Ordinary Shares, with a par value of R$0.005 in an exchange ratio of 1.00, (ii) each TPB SPAC Warrant is exercisable for New Lavoro Class A Ordinary Shares on an exchange ratio of 1.00 and with the same terms, and (iii) each Company Share that is not a ‘Cashout’ share outstanding will be exchanged with New Lavoro for the right to receive New Lavoro Class A Ordinary Shares in accordance with the Exchange Ratio, as agreed upon by the parties.

 

Note that the right to purchase Forward Purchase Units in connection with the Business Combination has been waived by the Sponsor and the Sponsor Forward Purchase Agreement shall be terminated upon the consummation of the Business Combination. The right to purchase Forward Purchase Shares in connection with the Business Combination has been waived by each entity party to the Third Party Forward Purchase Agreements.

 

Last, the pre-existing employee benefit plan was assumed by New Lavoro at the close of the Business Combination. New Lavoro will issue the number of New Lavoro ordinary shares necessary to rollover the existing company compensation plan.

 

Unvested Founder Shares and Vesting Founder Shares

 

The Sponsor was issued a certain number of New Lavoro Class A Ordinary Shares to replace the TPB SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares (i.e., Founder Shares) that they hold, of which (i) Two-thirds (3,006,050) of such New Lavoro Class A Ordinary Shares were deemed to be Vesting Founder Shares, and (ii) 54,613 Founder Shares were not vested and will only be vested upon the registration of certain shares of New Lavoro that will be registered through the filing of a form F-1 registration statement with the SEC.

 

 5 

 

 

Vesting Founder Shares will be subject to certain vesting conditions. If at any time during the 3-year period following the close of the Business Combination, for over any 20 trading days within any consecutive 30 trading day period, the closing share price of New Lavoro Class A Ordinary Shares is greater than or equal to:

 

1.$12.50, one-half of the Vesting Founder shares shall vest; and

2.$15.00, an additional one-half of the Vesting Founder shares shall vest.

 

New Lavoro Class A Ordinary Share price targets shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, cash dividends, reorganizations, combinations, recapitalizations and similar transactions affecting New Lavoro Class A Ordinary Shares. Any Vesting Founder Shares that have not vested during the 3-year period following the closing of the Business Combination will be forfeited.

 

Lock-Up Period Restriction

 

New Lavoro, Lavoro, the TPB SPAC, and each of the parties listed as Equity Holders1 entered into a Lock-Up Agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) which subjects certain New Lavoro Class A Ordinary Shares to certain transfer restrictions, including lock-up restrictions. Accordingly, except with the prior written consent of the TPB SPAC, during the Lock-up Period2, each Equity Holder agrees not to take any actions in furtherance of any of the matters described in below clauses.

 

(i)  Transfer any of its Lock-up Shares3,

(ii) enter into any option, warrant, purchase right or other contract that could require the Equity Holder to transfer any of its Lock-up Shares, or

 

The Sponsor agreed that they shall not transfer any private placement warrants (or any New Lavoro ordinary shares underlying the warrants) until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination.

 

TPB SPAC does not meet the definition of a “business” pursuant to IFRS 3 as it is an empty listed shell holding only cash raised as part of its original equity issuance. As a result, the Business Combination does not qualify as a “business combination” within the meaning of IFRS 3, rather the Business Combination will be accounted for as a capital reorganization in accordance with IFRS 2.

 

For a description of the Business Combination and certain agreements executed in connection therewith, see “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus—The Business Combination” and “Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination” within the prospectus filed on February 3, 2023 by New Lavoro.

 

 

1 Equity Holders include Private Equity Investments V, L.P., Brazilian Private Equity Opportunities V, L.P., PE Fund V, L.P. and PBPE Fund V (Cayman 2), L.P.

 

2 Lock-Up Period means the period beginning on the closing date and ending on

 

·for 25% of the Lock-Up Shares, the date that is 180 days following the closing date,
·for an additional 25% of the Lock-Up Shares, the date that is 1 year following the Closing Date,
·for an additional 25% of the Lock-Up Shares, the date that is 18 months following the Closing Date, and
·for an additional 25% of the Lock-Up Shares, the date that is 2 years following the Closing Date.

 

3 Lock-Up Shares means New Lavoro ordinary shares (except any PIPE Shares) held by the Equity Holders in the aggregate on the Closing Date immediately following the consummation of the Mergers.

2. Lavoro’s acquisitions

 

From the period July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2022, Lavoro acquired multiple businesses throughout Latin America, collectively referred to as the Lavoro Acquisitions. See Note 20 to the combined financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022 included elsewhere in the proxy statement/prospectus filed on February 3 by New Lavoro, 2023.

 

Set forth below are the pro forma effects of the Lavoro Acquisitions on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of profit or loss for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, as follows:

 

·increase in amortization expense on the fair value of intangibles assets recognized (customer relationship, purchase contract and brands);

·increase in depreciation expense on the fair value adjustment of property, plant and equipment;

·tax effect on pro forma adjustments; and

·non-controlling interests.

 

The Lavoro Acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting under IFRS 3. The pro forma effects of the Lavoro Acquisitions, including the amortization of the fair value of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment and the allocation of the consideration transferred, are based on our estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The effects of cost savings and operating synergies or revenue enhancements that we may achieve as a result of the acquisitions or the costs to integrate them to our operations or the costs necessary to achieve these cost savings and operating synergies, such as procurement, distribution and administrative structure efficiencies and revenue enhancements, have not been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of profit or loss.

 

For further details on the allocation of the consideration transferred for the acquisitions listed above, see Note 20 to our audited combined financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2022 included elsewhere in the proxy statement/prospectus filed on February 3, 2023 by New Lavoro.

3. Basis of Presentation

 

The included unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 replaces the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”) the Lavoro Group has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and will only be presenting adjustments as follows:

 

(i)Transaction Accounting Adjustments that have been identified and adjusted to reflect the pro forma adjustments that are directly attributable to the Business Combination (refer to 5. Transaction accounting adjustments of the Business Combination between the TPB SPAC and Lavoro for more detail); and

 

(ii)The pro forma adjustments to reflect the effect of the Lavoro Group Acquisitions on the condensed combined statement of profit or loss had they been completed as of July 1, 2021 includes the increase in amortization expense on fair value of intangibles assets recognized (customer relationship and brand), the tax effect on pro forma adjustments, and the allocation of adjustments to non-controlling interest (See Note 2 above, The Lavoro Acquisitions, for more detail).

 

The pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only. The financial results may have been different had the companies always been combined. You should not rely on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that the Combined Company will experience. Future results may vary significantly from the results reflected due to various factors, including those discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors.” The Lavoro Group, TPB SPAC, and the Lavoro Group Acquisitions have not had any historical relationship prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

 

The historical financial statements of the Lavoro Group have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB and in its presentation currency of the Brazilian Real (“BRL”). The historical financial statements of TPB SPAC have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP in its presentation currency of the U.S. dollar. The condensed combined pro forma financial information reflects IFRS, the basis of accounting used by the registrant, New Lavoro. TPB SPAC’s historical financial statements have been converted from US GAAP to IFRS to align with the basis of accounting used by New Lavoro. For more information on the US GAAP to IFRS conversion of TPB SPAC’s balance sheet, please see 4. TPB SPAC IFRS Conversion and Presentation Adjustments.

 

The historical financial statements of TPB SPAC have been translated into and are presented in Brazilian Reais for the purposes of presentation in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information using the following exchange rates:

 

·at the period end exchange rate as of June 30, 2022, of US$1.00 to R$5.2380 for the balance sheet;

 

·the average exchange rate for the period from July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2022, of US$1.00 to R$5.2440 for the statement of operations for the period ending on that date.

 

11 

 

 

As the Lavoro Group and TPB SPAC have different fiscal year ends, in order to meet the SEC’s pro forma requirements of combining operating results for an annual period that ends within 93 days of the end of the Lavoro Group’s latest annual fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, the TPB SPAC's financial results for the year ended June 30, 2022, have been calculated by taking (i) TPB SPAC's results for the year ended December 31, 2021, minus the TPB SPAC’s results for the period from February 8, 2021 (inception) to June 30, 2021, plus (ii) the TPB SPAC’s results for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

 

Included in the shares outstanding and weighted average shares outstanding as presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are an aggregate of 3.4 million New Lavoro Class A Ordinary Shares to be issued to the TPB SPAC public shareholders, 10.0 million New Lavoro Class A Ordinary Shares to be issued to the PIPE Investors, 1.4 million New Lavoro Class A Ordinary Shares to be issued to the Sponsors and 96.3 million New Lavoro Class A Ordinary Shares to be issued to the Lavoro Group shareholders.

 

Immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, TPB SPAC’s former public shareholders, the Sponsor and the current beneficial owners of the Sponsor, the PIPE Investors, investors exercising certain forward purchase agreements and former Lavoro Group shareholders own approximately the following percentages of New Lavoro:

 

   Shares (in
millions)
   % 
Lavoro shareholders (1)   96.4    86.67 
TPB SPAC public shareholders   3.4    3.03 
PIPE Investors   10.0    9.00 
Sponsors (2)   1.4    1.30 
Total shares (3)   111.2    100.00 

 

(1)Excludes equity awards to be issued under the New Lavoro Equity Plan and an aggregate of up to approximately 2 million Class A Ordinary Shares reserved for issuance under the Lavoro Share Plan. To the extent equity awards are issued after Closing under the New Lavoro Equity Plan, shareholders will experience dilution resulting from the impact of new equity to be reserved pursuant to the rollover of the existing company compensation plan, which is expected to total approximately 2 million shares.

(2)Excludes 3,006,050 Founder Shares subject to vesting pursuant to the terms of the Amendment to the Sponsor Letter Agreement following the consummation of the Business Combination (Vesting Founder Shares) and 54,613 Founder Shares that were not vested and will only be vested upon the registration of certain shares of New Lavoro. Refer to Note 1 Vesting Founder Shares for discussion of the vesting conditions.

(3)As noted in Note 5 adjustment BB the Private Placement Warrants, Public Warrants, and Vesting Founder Shares of New Lavoro are out of the money and therefore, not included based on an assumed share price of $10 of New Lavoro for the purposes of this pro forma financial information.

 

The pro forma adjustments related to the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment do not have an income tax effect as they are either (i) incurred by legal entities that are not subject to a corporate income tax, or (ii) permanently nondeductible or nontaxable based on the laws of the relevant jurisdiction.

Accounting for the Business Combination

 

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a capital reorganization in accordance with IFRS. Under this method of accounting, TPB SPAC will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes, and the Lavoro Group will be the accounting “acquirer”. This determination was primarily based on the assumption that:

 

·Lavoro’s current shareholders will hold a majority of the voting power of New Lavoro post Business combination;

·Lavoro's operations will substantially comprise the ongoing operations of New Lavoro;

·Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Lavoro's current shareholders will have the ability to nominate the majority of the members of the governing body of New Lavoro; and

·Lavoro's senior management will comprise the senior management of the New Lavoro, including the CEO and CFO.

 

Another determining factor was that TPB SPAC does not meet the definition of a “business” pursuant to IFRS 3, and thus, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be accounted for as a capital reorganization, within the scope of IFRS 2. The net assets of TPB SPAC will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Any excess of the fair value of the deemed equity interest issued by the Lavoro Group over the fair value of TPB SPAC’s identifiable net assets acquired represents compensation for the service of a stock exchange listing for its shares and is expensed as incurred. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information assumes that TPB SPAC Warrants would be expected to be accounted for as liabilities in accordance with IAS 32 following consummation of the Business Combination and, accordingly, would be subject to ongoing mark-to-market adjustments through the statement of profit or loss.

 

In connection to the Business Combination, the Sponsor was issued a certain number of Vesting Founder Shares and Unvested Founder Shares which are entitled to receive a certain number of New Lavoro Class A Ordinary Shares if certain conditions are met (See note 1 above). Such shares are deemed to have been issued in exchange for listing services provided by the Sponsor (i.e., facilitating the Company being listed on the NASDAQ) and are therefore equity-classified as per IFRS 2 Share-based payment.

 

4. TPB SPAC IFRS Conversion and Presentation Adjustments

 

The historical financial information of TPB SPAC has been adjusted to give effect to the differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS as issued by the IASB for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The only adjustment required to convert TPB SPAC’s financial statements from U.S. GAAP to IFRS for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was to reclassify TPB SPAC’s Ordinary Shares subject to redemption from temporary equity under US GAAP to non-current financial liabilities under IFRS.

 

Further, as part of the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, TPB SPAC’s historical financial information was converted from U.S. dollars to Brazilian Reais in accordance with the presentation of the Lavoro Group’s historical financial information, as discussed in “3. Basis of Presentation.”

5. Transaction accounting adjustments of the Business Combination between the TPB SPAC and Lavoro

 

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Financial Position as of June 30, 2022

 

The pro forma notes and adjustments, based on preliminary estimates that could change materially as additional information is obtained, are as follows:

 

A.To reflect (i) the proceeds received from the PIPE Investment with the corresponding issuance of 10.0 million SPAC Ordinary Shares, with a nominal value of R$0.0005, at R$52.4 per share, or R$523.5 million, and (ii) the actual redemption of 14.7 million SPAC Ordinary Shares, at approximately R$52.7 per share.

 

B.To reflect the release of cash and investments held in the trust account, including settling a Working Capital Loan totaling R$5.2 million.

 

C.To reclassify other liabilities related to TPB SPAC Ordinary Shares subject to redemption against permanent equity at the closing of the Business Combination.

 

D.To reflect the estimated payment in aggregate that consists of (i) TPB SPAC’s deferred underwriting fees of R$33.1 million and (ii) transaction costs expected to be settled at the Close of the Business Combination. Expenses incurred by the TPB SPAC are reflected as an adjustment to APIC as the Business Combination is accounted for as a capital reorganization. Therefore, both the Retained Earnings (Deficits) and APIC of the TPB SPAC will be accounted for as the APIC of Lavoro Limited. Expenses incurred are considered direct and incremental costs related to the Business Combination. Such costs are capitalizable and are recorded to APIC.

 

E.To reflect the capital reorganization of Lavoro Limited, as per the Business Combination Agreement, consisting of (i) the elimination of the equity of TPB SPAC and the conversion of certain Sponsor Shares into Ordinary shares of the New Lavoro, (ii) the derecognition of the Net investment from the Parent of Lavoro, the recognition of New Lavoro Ordinary Shares issued to existing Lavoro shareholders, and to separately disclose the accumulated other comprehensive income of Lavoro, and (iii) in accordance with IFRS 2, the deemed cost of the shares issued by Lavoro in excess of the net assets of the TPB SPAC, which primarily consists of cash and marketable securities held in the trust account and certain public and private warrants liabilities, is accounted for as stock-based compensation and reflected as an adjustment to APIC.

 

   (in thousands of Reais) 
Estimated deemed cost of shares issued to the TPB SPAC(1)   921,390 
Net assets of the TPB SPAC as of June 30, 2022(2)   1,464,322 
Less: Redemption of TPB SPAC ordinary shares   768,460 
Less: TPB SPAC transaction costs   78,958 
Adjusted net assets of the TPB SPAC as of June 30, 2022   616,904 
IFRS 2 charge for listing services   304,486 

 

15 

 

 

(1)The estimated deemed cost of shares is comprised of (i) 14,821,266 Lavoro Limited Class A Ordinary Shares, including 1,448,412 Retained Founder Shares, at a quoted market price of R$52.38 per share as of June 30, 2022 and foreign exchange rate of US$1.00 to R$5.238, and (ii) estimated fair value of 3,006,050 Vesting Founder Shares and 54,613 Unvested Founder Shares of R$145.1 million.

 

(2)This balance includes the PIPE Investment and is calculated based on exchange rate as of June 30, 2022, of $1.00 to R$5.238 (see Note 3).

 

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Profit or Loss for the year ended June 30, 2022

 

The pro forma notes and adjustments with respect to the Business Combination, based on preliminary estimates that could change materially as additional information is obtained, are as follows:

 

AA.To reflect the elimination of interest income on marketable securities held in the trust account.

 

BB.New Lavoro calculates the pro forma earnings (loss) per share in accordance with IAS 33, Earnings Per Share, which requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Pro forma basic earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Pro forma diluted earnings (loss) per share represents the pro forma basic earnings (loss) per share adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of the outstanding warrants assumed by New Lavoro (using the treasury stock method). The average market price of TPB SPAC common stock is assumed to be US$10 for the purposes of this Article 11 Pro Forma and all public and private warrants are out of the money; therefore, the approximately 6,012,099 and 4,071,507 public and private warrants, respectively, are excluded from both the calculation of the pro forma basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Similarly, the Vesting Founder Shares are not considered vested for both the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share due to the assumed TPB SPAC's share price of US$10.00.

 

CC.To reflect the IFRS 2 stock-based compensation expenses for the deemed listing services received by the Lavoro Group and New Lavoro from TPB SPAC, which is the difference between the costs of the shares issued by the Lavoro Group in excess of the net assets of TPB SPAC.

 

DD.To reflect the elimination of transaction costs incurred by TPB SPAC which qualify for capitalization as of the closing date of the Business Combination, and therefore would not be reported in the post-Business Combination statement of profit or loss of New Lavoro.
