DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES
REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
The following summary of the material terms of certain securities of Cartesian Growth Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“we,” “us,” “our,” “the company” or “our company”), is not intended to be a complete summary of the rights and preferences of such securities and is subject to and qualified by reference to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and the Warrant Agreement, dated February 23, 2021, between the company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agreement”), in each case as in effect on December 31, 2021 and incorporated by reference as exhibits to the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Report”) of which this exhibit is a part, and applicable Cayman Islands law, including the Companies Act (2021 Revision) of the Cayman Islands as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Companies Act”) and the common law of the Cayman Islands.
As of the end of the period covered by the Report, we had the following three classes of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”): (i) units, each consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one warrant, (ii) Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, and (iii) warrants, each whole warrant exercisable for one Class A ordinary shares at an exercise price of $11.50. This exhibit also references the company’s Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B ordinary shares” or “founder shares”), which are not registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act but are convertible into Class A ordinary shares. The description of the Class B ordinary shares is included to assist in the description of the Class A ordinary shares. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to our “sponsor” are to CGC Sponsor LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company, and references to our “initial stockholders” are to holders of our founder shares. Terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Report. All information set forth herein is presented as of the end of the period covered by the Report.
General
Pursuant to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, our authorized share capital consists of 200,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares and 1,000,000 preference shares, of par value $0.0001 each.
Our units, Class A ordinary shares and warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), under the symbols “GLBLU,” “GLBL” and “GLBLW,” respectively.
Units
Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of Class A ordinary shares. This means that only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. Accordingly, unless you purchase at least three units, you will not be able to receive or trade a whole warrant.
The Class A ordinary shares and warrants comprising the units commenced separate trading on April 16, 2021. Holders have the option to continue to hold units or separate their units into the component securities. Holders will need to have their brokers contact our transfer agent in order to separate the units into Class A ordinary shares and warrants.
Ordinary Shares
Ordinary shareholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Holders of Class A ordinary shares and holders of Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders except as required by law. Unless specified in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, or as required by applicable provisions of the Companies Act or applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued ordinary shares present in person or represented by proxy at a general meeting of the company and entitled to vote is required to approve any such matter voted on by our shareholders. Approval of certain actions will require a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being (i) the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued ordinary shares present in person or represented by proxy at a general meeting of the company and entitled to vote on such matter or (ii) a
