The proposed business combination will be submitted to shareholders of the Company for their consideration. Holdco is expected to file a registration statement on Form F-4 with the SEC that will include a proxy statement of the Company that will also constitute a prospectus of Holdco.

Such persons can also read the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, for a description of the security holdings of the Company’s officers and directors and their respective interests as security holders in the consummation of the business combination. When available, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to the Company’s and Holdco’s shareholder. Shareholders will also be able to obtain copies of such documents, without charge, once available, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, or by directing a request to: Union Acquisition Corp. II, 1425 Brickell Ave., #57B, Miami, FL 33131 or Procaps Group, S.A., 9 rue de Bitbourg, L-1273 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
