INTRODUCTION

About this Annual Report

Throughout this Annual Report on Form 20-F (the “Report”), unless otherwise designated or the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “LPA” and “the Company” refer to Logistic Properties of the Americas and its subsidiaries, which prior to the Business Combination (defined below) was the business of Latam Logistics Properties, S.A. and its subsidiaries. References to “LLP” mean Latam Logistics Properties, S.A. and its consolidated subsidiaries, and references to “the registrant” mean LPA.

Discrepancies in any table between totals and sums of the amounts listed are due to rounding. Certain amounts and percentages have been rounded; consequently, certain figures may add up to be more or less than the total amount and certain percentages may add up to be more or less than 100% due to rounding.

Financial Statement Presentation

Logistic Properties of the Americas was incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands on October 9, 2023, for the purposes of effectuating the Business Combination described herein. Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, LPA had no material assets and did not operate any businesses.

LPA qualifies as a foreign private issuer as defined under Rule 405 under the Securities Act. The Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and audited in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”) and are reported in U.S. dollars.

On March 27, 2024, LPA consummated the previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of August 15, 2023 (as amended, supplemented, and/or restated from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among two, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“TWOA”), LatAm Logistic Properties, S.A., a company incorporated under the laws of Panama (together with its successors, “LLP”), and, by joinder agreements, each of LPA, Logistic Properties of the Americas Subco, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of LPA (“SPAC Merger Sub”), and LPA Panama Group Corp., a company incorporated under the laws of Panama and a wholly-owned subsidiary of LPA (“Company Merger Sub”).

As a result of the Business Combination, LLP and TWOA became wholly-owned direct subsidiaries of LPA: (a) SPAC Merger Sub merged with and into TWOA, with TWOA continuing as the surviving company and a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of LPA; and (b) Company Merger Sub merged with and into LLP, with LLP continuing as the surviving company and a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of LPA.

The historical operations of LLP prior to the Business Combination are deemed to be those of the Company. Thus, the financial statements included in this Report reflect the historical operating results of LLP prior to the closing of the Business Combination. The audited financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, included in this Report have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, which we refer to as our financial statements. See Item 18 of this Report for our audited consolidated financial statements and other financial information.

Currency and Exchange Rates

In this Report, unless otherwise specified, all monetary amounts are in U.S. dollars and all references to “$” mean U.S. dollars. Certain monetary amounts described herein have been expressed in U.S. dollars for convenience only and, when expressed in U.S. dollars in the future, such amounts may be different from those set forth herein due to intervening exchange rate fluctuations.

CERTAIN DEFINED TERMS

EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY, FOREIGN PRIVATE ISSUER

AND CONTROLLED COMPANY STATUS

The Company is an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). The Company will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the Closing of the Business Combination, (b) in which the Company has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion or (c) in which the Company is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates is at least $700 million as of the last business day of the Company’s prior second fiscal quarter, and (ii) the date on which the Company issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. The Company intends to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to most other public companies, whether or not they are classified as “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, an exemption from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

As a “foreign private issuer,” the Company will be subject to different U.S. securities laws than domestic U.S. issuers. The rules governing the information that the Company must disclose differ from those governing U.S. corporations pursuant to the Exchange Act. The Company will be exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements to shareholders. Those proxy statements are not expected to conform to Schedule 14A of the proxy rules promulgated under the Exchange Act. In addition, as a “foreign private issuer,” the Company’s officers and directors and holders of more than 10% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, will be exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act requiring insiders to report purchases and sales of ordinary shares as well as from Section 16 short swing profit reporting and liability. In addition, JREP I Logistics Acquisition, LP currently controls a majority of the voting power of the outstanding Ordinary Shares. As a result, the Company is a “controlled company” as defined under the NYSE American rules. For as long as the Company remains a controlled company under that definition, the Company is permitted to elect to rely, and may rely, on certain exemptions from corporate governance rules.

As a result of the Company’s status as a “foreign private issuer” and a “controlled company,” among other things, the Company is not required to have (1) a majority of the board of directors consisting of independent directors; (2) a compensation committee consisting of independent directors; (3) a nominating committee consisting of independent directors; or (4) regularly scheduled executive sessions with only independent directors each year.

Accordingly, the Company’s shareholders may not receive the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of NYSE American’s corporate governance requirements. The Company would cease to be a foreign private issuer at such time as more than 50% of its outstanding voting securities are held by U.S. residents and any of the following three circumstances applies: (i) the majority of the Company’s executive officers or directors are U.S. citizens or residents, (ii) more than 50% of its assets are located in the United States or (iii) its business is administered principally in the United States. The Company is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act and has elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements. Foreign private issuers, similar to emerging growth companies, are also exempt from certain more stringent executive compensation disclosure rules. Thus, even if the Company no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company but remains a foreign private issuer, it will continue to be exempt from the more stringent compensation disclosures required of public companies that are neither an emerging growth company nor a foreign private issuer. For further details, see “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to the Company’s Business and Operations – As a “foreign private issuer” under the rules and regulations of the SEC, LPA is permitted to file less or different information with the SEC than a company incorporated in the United States or otherwise subject to these rules and is permitted to follow certain home-country corporate governance practices in lieu of certain NYSE American requirements applicable to U.S. issuers.” If at any time the Company ceases to be a foreign private issuer, it will take all action necessary to comply with the applicable rules of the SEC and NYSE American.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, our plans, objectives and expectations for our business, operations and financial performance and condition, and can be identified by terminology such as “plan,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “continue,” “could,” “may,” “might,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “should,” “would,” “will,” “seek,” and other similar words and expressions, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this Report and on the current expectations, forecasts and assumptions of the management of the Company, involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties and are inherently subject to changes in circumstances and their potential effects and speak only as of the date of such statements.

Moreover, the risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Report describe additional factors that could adversely affect the businesses, financial conditions, or results of operations of the Company. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible to predict all such risk factors, nor can the Company assess the impact of all such risk factors on our businesses, or the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligations to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

In addition, this Report contains statements of belief and similar statements that reflect the beliefs and opinions of the Company on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to the Company as of the date of this Report, and while the Company believes such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and statements should not be read to indicate that the Company has conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and you are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.
