Procaps Group, S.A. (NASDAQ: PROC) (“Procaps” or the “Company”), a
leading integrated LatAm healthcare and pharmaceutical services
company, today announced the successful execution of key strategic
transactions and governance updates aimed at strengthening its
financial position and supporting long-term growth objectives.
On November 29, 2024, the Company entered into a
Secured Convertible Note Subscription Agreement with Hoche Partners
Pharma Holdings S.A. ("Hoche"), pursuant to which the Company may
issue up to $40 million in Convertible Notes. Under the agreement,
Procaps issued an initial $20 million Convertible Note to Hoche.
Hoche is obligated to purchase an additional $20 million of
Convertible Notes by year-end, subject to certain exceptions.
The Convertible Notes bear an annual interest
rate of 8.50%, payable in kind, and are secured by a first-priority
security interest in the equity of the Company's subsidiary,
Crynssen Pharma Group Ltd.
The Company’s key stakeholders, including Hoche
and Caoton Company, S.A., acting as trustee to the Sognatore Trust,
(“Sognatore”), Commonwealth Trust Company, acting as trustee to the
Simphony Trust (“Simphony”) and Commonwealth Trust Company, acting
as trustee of the Deseja Trust (together with Sognatore and
Simphony, the “Minski Trusts”), have also reached an agreement to
support changes to the Company’s Board of Directors. Under a newly
established Shareholder Nomination Agreement between such
shareholder groups, Procaps expects to welcome four new directors
following the Company’s upcoming Annual General Meeting on December
16, 2024. Additionally, Mr. Alejandro Weinstein is expected to
assume the role of Chairman of the Board, leveraging his extensive
industry expertise to guide the Company’s strategic initiatives and
enhance shareholder value.
Procaps has also renegotiated key debt-related
agreements, resulting in the cancellation of a $5 million junior
unsecured subordinated note and a $2.2 million reduction in
accounts payable, further supporting the Company’s financial
foundation.
As previously announced, the Company, Procaps
S.A., and certain of their respective subsidiaries (collectively
with the Company and Procaps S.A., the “Obligors”) had entered into
forbearance agreements with respect to approximately $209 million
of the Obligors’ financial indebtedness. Each agreement originally
provided for a forbearance period expiring on October 25, 2024. As
of the date hereof, the forbearance period under each of the
forbearance agreements has been extended to January 31, 2025,
reflecting the ongoing collaborative efforts between the Company
and its creditors to support financial stability and operational
continuity.
"These transactions underscore the unwavering
commitment of our key shareholders to support Procaps’ growth and
operational recovery. These strategic initiatives highlight our
focused efforts to optimize our capital structure, enhance
corporate governance, and deliver sustainable value for our
shareholders," said José Antonio Toledo Vieira, Chief Executive
Officer of Procaps.
These developments reinforce Procaps’ commitment
to achieving its strategic priorities, enhancing its liquidity and
financial stability, delivering innovative healthcare solutions,
