INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT ON FORM 6-K

 

As previously reported on May 1, 2024, Procaps Group, S.A. (the “Company”), with the assistance of external advisors, is conducting an ongoing internal investigation (the “Investigation”) initiated by the Company’s Audit Committee. The Audit Committee initiated the Investigation with respect to the Company’s historical accounting treatment and associated financial statement disclosure related to a 2012 related party loan in the amount of $2.5 million, which has been outstanding at least through December 2023, and the Investigation has since included inquiry into other historical related party transactions identified during the course of the Investigation.

 

On July 3, 2024, the Company received a letter from its independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche S.A.S. (“Deloitte”), stating that Deloitte has withdrawn its audit report regarding the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, issued on May 12, 2023 (which financial statements are contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 12, 2023) (the “Financial Statements”), because Deloitte can no longer continue to rely on representations made to Deloitte in the Company’s management representations letter with respect to the Financial Statements, including with respect to management’s representations that all related party transactions had been disclosed. Deloitte further requested in its letter that the Company take necessary measures to notify the public that Deloitte’s previously-issued audit report dated May 12, 2023 should not be relied upon and that revised financial statements, if necessary, and the associated audit report will be issued upon completion of the Investigation. Prior to receiving Deloitte’s letter, the issue of non-reliance on management’s representations, among other things, had been discussed among management, the Audit Committee and Deloitte.

 

As of the date of this Form 6-K, the Audit Committee has not determined that the Financial Statements contained a material error or require restatement. However, the Investigation remains ongoing, and the Company expects to make a final determination with respect to the Financial Statements as expeditiously as possible.

 

Despite the fact the Audit Committee has not determined as of the date of this Form 6-K that the Financial Statements contain a material error or require restatement, in connection with the Investigation’s interim findings, the Company’s management and Audit Committee have initiated a remediation process to address such findings.
