Dear Mr. Gabor and Mr. McCann:
On behalf of our client, Primavera Capital Acquisition Corporation, Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), we are responding to the comments from the Staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) relating to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) contained in the Staff’s letter dated December 1, 2020 (the “Comment Letter”).

The revised Registration Statement also contains certain additional updates and revisions. We are also sending, under separate cover, a copy of the revised Registration Statement and three marked copies of the Registration Statement showing the changes to the Registration Statement confidentially submitted to the Commission on November 16, 2020.
Set forth below are the Company’s responses to the Staff’s comments.

Draft Registration Statement on Form S-1
General
Please describe clearly the terms of issuance of the 2,000,000 shares in September 2020 including to whom they were issued and any conditions relating to their issuance, such as being in contemplation of one or more forward purchase agreements or backstop arrangements. Also, clarify your statement that these securities "will be forfeited in connection with the closing of this offering to the extent we do not do so." Revise the disclosure throughout your prospectus to reflect this issuance, as applicable. If your founder shares would represent more than 20% of the outstanding shares after this offering please state that clearly. We may have further comment.
Response: | In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company respectfully advises the Staff that the 2,000,000 founder shares were issued to Primavera Capital Acquisition LLC (the “Sponsor”) in contemplation of forward purchase agreements by and between Aspex Master Fund, a Hong Kong based investor management fund (“Aspex”) and the Company, and Sky Venture Partners L.P., a Chinese investor management group (“Sky Venture” and, together with Aspex, the “anchor investors”) and the Company. The Sponsor transferred 1,000,000 founder shares to each anchor investor in connection with the signing of the relevant forward purchase agreement. With regards to the statement that these securities “will be forfeited in connection with the closing of this offering to the extent we do not do so”, the Company has revised the disclosure on page 14 of the Registration Statement to clarify that if an anchor investor fails to close on its obligation to purchase forward purchase securities at the time of the initial business combination, (i) such anchor investor will be contractually required to forfeit any and all founder shares transferred to it and (ii) the Sponsor will be obligated to forfeit an aggregate amount of such incremental founder shares as is necessary to maintain 20% ownership of outstanding shares after this offering. We have also revised the disclosure on the cover page and pages 14, 16, 44, 48, 72, 73, 113, 116, 118, 121, 128, F-12 and F-16 to clarify that current calculations for the Sponsor’s post-offering 20% ownership are based on a total outstanding number of shares that includes the shares to be purchased in connection with the forward purchase agreement. |
Should any questions arise, please do not hesitate to contact me at (212) 450-4322 (tel), (212) 701-5322 (fax) or derek.dostal@davispolk.com. Thank you for your time and attention.
Very truly yours,
