On January 29, 2024, Learn CW Investment Corporation ( “Learn CW”) and Innventure LLC (“Innventure”) issued a press release announcing the filing of a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) by Learn CW HoldCo, Inc.

Attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto is an investor presentation, dated January 29, 2024, that Learn CW and Innventure have prepared for use in connection with the Business Combination.
The information in this Item 7.01, and Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 attached hereto, is furnished pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Additional Information and Where to Find It
In connection with the Business Combination, Holdco has filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 containing a preliminary proxy statement of Learn CW, a preliminary consent solicitation statement of Innventure and a preliminary prospectus with respect to the combined company’s securities to be issued in connection with the Business Combination, and after the registration statement is declared effective, the definitive proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus relating to the Business Combination will be mailed to Learn CW shareholders and will be sent to Innventure unitholders. This Current Report does not contain all the information that should be considered concerning the Business Combination and is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision or any other decision in respect of the Business Combination.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, including statements regarding the parties or the parties’ respective management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions, plans, prospects or strategies regarding the future, including the business combination, the parties’ ability to close the referenced business combination, the anticipated benefits of the business combination, including revenue growth and financial performance, product expansion and services, and the financial condition, results of operations, earnings outlook and prospects of Innventure and/or Learn CW, including, in all cases, statements for the period following the consummation of the business combination. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. The forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report are based on our current expectations and beliefs made by the management of Learn CW and Innventure in light of their respective experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments and their potential effects on Learn CW and Innventure as well as other factors they believe are appropriate in the circumstances. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting Learn CW or Innventure will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the control of the parties) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including those discussed and identified in the public filings made or to be made with the SEC by Learn CW, including in the final prospectus relating to Learn CW’s initial public offering, which was filed with the SEC on October 12, 2021 under the heading “Risk Factors,” or made or to be made by Holdco upon closing of the transaction, and the following: expectations regarding Innventure’s strategies and future financial performance, including its future business plans, expansion plans or objectives, prospective performance and opportunities and competitors, revenues, products and services, pricing, operating expenses, product and service acceptance, market trends, liquidity, cash flows and uses of cash, capital expenditures, and Innventure’s ability to invest in growth initiatives; the implementation, market acceptance and success of Innventure’s business model and growth strategy; Innventure’s future capital requirements and sources and uses of cash; that Innventure will have sufficient capital upon the approval of the transaction to operate as anticipated; Innventure’s ability to obtain funding for its operations and future growth; developments and projections relating to Innventure’s competitors and industry; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), dated October 24, 2023, by and among Learn CW, Holdco, LCW Merger Sub, Inc., Innventure Merger Sub, LLC and Innventure; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Holdco, Learn CW or Innventure following announcement of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein; the inability to complete the business combination due to, among other things, the failure to obtain Learn CW shareholder approval; regulatory approvals; the risk that the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination disrupts Innventure’s current plans; the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the business combination; unexpected costs related to the Business Combination; the amount of any redemptions by existing holders of Learn CW’s common stock being greater than expected; limited liquidity and trading of Learn CW’s securities; geopolitical risk and changes in applicable laws or regulations; the possibility that Learn CW and/or Innventure may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; the potential characterization of Innventure as an investment company subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940; operational risk; and the risk that the consummation of the business combination is substantially delayed or does not occur. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements in this Current Report are made as of the date hereof, based on information available to Learn CW and Innventure as of the date hereof, and Learn CW and Innventure assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
