Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously announced, on October 20, 2022, Rose Hill Acquisition Corporation, an exempted company incorporated with limited
liability in the Cayman Islands (“Rose Hill”) entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as amended on July 17, 2023, the “Business Combination
Agreement”) with Inversiones e Inmobilaria GHC Ltda, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Chile (“Prize”) and, for certain limited purposes, Alejandro García Huidobro Empresario, an individual (“AGH”).
On October 18, 2023, Rose Hill, Prize and AGH, entered into Amendment No. 2 to Business Combination Agreement (the
“Second Amendment”), pursuant to which the parties amended the Business Combination Agreement to extend the date by which either Rose Hill, Prize or AGH can terminate the Business Combination Agreement, if the transactions contemplated thereby
have not been consummated by such date, from October 18, 2023 to January 18, 2024.
A copy of the Second Amendment is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1 and the foregoing description of the Second
Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.
Important Information about the Business Combination Agreement and Where to Find It
In connection with the Business Combination Agreement, Rose Hill, Prize and/or the combined company intend to file relevant
materials with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including a registration statement on Form F-4 with the SEC, which will include a document that serves as a joint prospectus and proxy statement, referred to as a proxy
statement/prospectus. A proxy statement/prospectus will be sent to all Rose Hill shareholders. Rose Hill, Prize and/or the combined company will also file other documents regarding the Business Combination Agreement with the SEC. Before making
any voting or investment decision, investors and security holders of Prize and Rose Hill are urged to read the registration statement, the proxy statement/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be
filed with the SEC in connection with the Business Combination Agreement as they become available because they will contain important information about the Business Combination Agreement.
Investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the registration statement, the proxy statement/prospectus
and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC by Rose Hill, Prize and/or the combined company through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.
The documents filed by Rose Hill, Prize and/or the combined company with the SEC also may be obtained free of charge upon written
request to Rose Hill Acquisition Corporation, 981 Davis Drive NW, Atlanta, GA 30327 or via email at info@rosehillacq.com.
INVESTMENT IN ANY SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SEC OR ANY OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY NOR HAS ANY AUTHORITY
PASSED UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF THE OFFERING OR THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
Participants in the Solicitation
Rose Hill, Prize, the combined company and their respective directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in
the solicitation of proxies from Rose Hill’s shareholders in connection with the Business Combination Agreement. A list of the names of such directors and executive officers, and information regarding their interests in the business combination
and their ownership of Rose Hill’s securities are, or will be, contained in Rose Hill’s filings with the SEC, and such information and names of Prize’s directors and executive officers will also be in the registration statement on Form F-4 to
be filed with the SEC by Rose Hill, Prize and/or the combined company, which will include the proxy statement of Rose Hill.
This Current Report on Form 8-K relates to a Business Combination Agreement between Rose Hill and Prize. This Current Report on
Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or exchange, or the solicitation of an offer to buy or exchange, any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or exchange would be unlawful
prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
Forward Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the
Business Combination Agreement between Prize and Rose Hill, including statements regarding the benefits of the Business Combination Agreement, the anticipated timing of the completion of the Business Combination Agreement, Prize’s plans for
expansion, Prize’s ability to improve its operations across the value chain and increase its productivity and resilience to climate change, the products offered by Prize and the markets in which it operates, the expected total addressable
market for the products offered by Prize, the sufficiency of the net proceeds of the Business Combination Agreement to fund Prize’s operations, expansion plans and other business plans, a potential PIPE offering, Prize’s projected future
results and the expected composition of the board of directors of the combined company. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expected,” “expect,” “targeted,” “anticipate,” “estimate,”
“intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plans,” “planned,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other
statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking
statements in this document, including, but not limited to: (i) the risk that the Business Combination Agreement may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of Rose Hill’s securities; (ii) the risk
that the Business Combination Agreement may not be completed by Rose Hill’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by Rose Hill; (iii) the failure to satisfy
the conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination Agreement, including the satisfaction of the minimum trust account amount following redemptions by Rose Hill’s public shareholders and the receipt of certain governmental and
regulatory approvals; (iv) the lack of a third-party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the Business Combination Agreement; (v) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of
the Business Combination Agreement; (vi) the inability to complete a PIPE offering; (vii) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Business Combination Agreement on Prize’s business relationships, performance, and business generally;
(viii) risks that the Business Combination Agreement disrupts current plans and operations of Prize as a result; (ix) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Prize, Rose Hill or others related to the Business
Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein; (x) the ability of the combined company to meet Nasdaq listing standards at or following the Closing; (xi) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business
Combination Agreement, which may be affected by a variety of factors, including changes in the competitive and highly regulated industries in which Prize operates, variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations
affecting Prize’s business and the ability of Prize and the combined company to retain its management and key employees; (xii) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the Closing, gauge and adapt to
industry or market trends and changing consumer preferences, and identify and realize additional opportunities; (xiii) the risk of adverse or changing economic conditions, including the impact of pricing and other actions by Prize’s
competitors; (xiv) the impact of governmental trade restrictions, including adverse governmental regulation that may impact Prize’s ability to access certain markets or continue to operate in certain markets; (xv) the risk that Prize and its
current and future growers and retailers have access to sufficient liquidity to fund their operations; (xvi) the risk that Prize will need to raise additional capital to execute its business plan, which may not be available on acceptable terms
or at all; (xvii) the risk that the combined company experiences difficulties in managing its growth and expanding operations; (xviii) the availability of sufficient labor during Prize’s peak growing and harvesting seasons; (xix) the risk of
changing consumer preferences or consumer demand for products such as those offered by Prize; (xx) the impact of crop disease; (xxi) the risk that Prize is unable to secure or protect its intellectual property; and (xxii) costs related to the
Business Combination Agreement. 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 the registration statement on
Form F-4 and proxy statement/prospectus discussed above and other documents filed or to be filed by Rose Hill, Prize and/or the combined company 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. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue
reliance on forward-looking statements, and Rose Hill and Prize assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Neither Rose Hill
nor Prize gives any assurance that Rose Hill, Prize or the combined company will achieve its expectations.
