A: | This document, which we refer to as this “proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus,” constitutes a proxy statement of Learn CW, a consent solicitation statement of Innventure and a prospectus of Holdco. You are receiving these materials because you are either (i) a shareholder of record or a beneficial holder of Learn CW on [ ], the record date for the extraordinary general meeting or (ii) a member of Innventure. Learn CW and Innventure have agreed to a business combination through a series of transactions, including the Mergers, subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the other transaction agreements. A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached as Annex A. Learn CW shareholders are being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the Business Combination and a number of other proposals. See the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal” for more detail. Innventure is soliciting the written consents of Innventure Voting Members with respect to the approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. See the section entitled “Innventure’s Solicitation of Written Consents” for more detail. Holdco is providing the prospectus contained herein for the related offering of Holdco Common Stock and Holdco Warrants issuable in connection with the Business Combination. |
Q: | Can I attend the extraordinary general meeting in person? |
A: | Yes. Learn CW shareholders will be able to attend the extraordinary general meeting in person, which will be held on [ ], at [ ] Eastern Time, at the offices of [ ]. |
Q: | What are the transactions described in this document? |
A: | On October 24, 2023, Learn CW entered into the Business Combination Agreement. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the parties thereto will enter into the Business Combination, pursuant to which, among other things, (i) LCW Merger Sub will merge with and into Learn CW, with Learn CW as the surviving company of the LCW Merger, and (ii) Innventure Merger Sub will merge with and into Innventure, with Innventure as the surviving entity of the Innventure Merger. Following the Mergers, each of Learn CW and Innventure will be a subsidiary of Holdco, and Holdco will become a publicly traded company. At Closing, Holdco will change its name to Innventure, Inc., its common stock is expected to be listed on [NYSE American] under the ticker symbol “INV” and its warrants are expected to be listed on [NYSE American] under the ticker symbol “INVW.” |
Q: | What is Innventure LLC? |
A: | Innventure was founded in 2015 and currently operates its business under a Delaware limited liability company that was formed in 2017. Innventure founds, funds, and operates companies with a focus on transformative, sustainable technology solutions acquired or licensed from Multinational Corporations (“MNCs”). As owner-operators, Innventure takes what it believes to be breakthrough technologies from early evaluation to scaled commercialization utilizing an approach designed to help mitigate risk as it builds disruptive companies that it believes have the potential to achieve a target enterprise value of at least $1 billion. Innventure defines “disruptive” as innovations that have the ability to significantly change the way businesses, industries, markets and/or consumers operate. See the section entitled “Information About Innventure” for more detail. |
Q: | What will happen in the Mergers? |
A: | Effect of the LCW Merger. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, at the LCW Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the LCW Merger: |
(i) | each Learn CW Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the LCW Merger Effective Time (other than shares to be cancelled in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement and any Redemption Shares (as defined above)) will be automatically surrendered and cancelled and converted into the right to receive one share of Holdco Common Stock; |
(ii) | each Redemption Share will not be converted into and become a share of Holdco Common Stock, and will at the LCW Merger Effective Time be converted into the right to receive from Learn CW, in cash, an amount per share calculated in accordance with such shareholder’s redemption rights; and |
(iii) | at the LCW Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the assumption of the warrant agreement, dated as of October 12, 2021, between Learn CW and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, a New York limited liability company (the “Warrant Agreement”), Holdco shall assume each Learn CW Warrant. Each Learn CW Warrant that is outstanding immediately prior to the LCW Merger Effective Time will automatically and irrevocably be modified to provide that such Learn CW Warrant will no longer entitle the holder thereof to purchase the number of Learn CW Ordinary Shares set forth therein and in substitution thereof such Learn CW Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire such number of shares of Holdco Common Stock per Learn CW Warrant that such holder was entitled to acquire pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Warrant Agreement. |
Q: | How will Holdco be managed following the Business Combination? |
A: | Following the Closing, it is expected that Holdco’s management will be composed of members of the current management of Innventure and the Holdco Board will consist of nine directors, who will be divided into three classes (Class I, II and III) each consisting of three directors. |
Q: | In addition to the requisite approvals of Learn CW shareholders and Innventure Voting Members, is the completion of the Business Combination subject to any other conditions? |
A: | Yes. The respective obligations of each party to effect the Closing are subject to the fulfillment (or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waiver) of certain conditions specified in the Business Combination Agreement. |
Q: | Following the Business Combination, will Learn CW’s securities continue to trade on a stock exchange? |
A: | No. Learn CW and Innventure anticipate that, following consummation of the Business Combination, the Learn CW Ordinary Shares, Learn CW Warrants and Learn CW Units will be delisted from the NYSE, and Learn CW’s securities will be deregistered under the Exchange Act. However, Learn CW and Innventure have applied to list Holdco Common Stock and Holdco Warrants on [NYSE American] upon the Closing under the ticker symbols ‘‘INV” and “INVW,” respectively. |
Q: | What are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences as a result of the Business Combination? |
A: | Subject to the rules for “passive foreign investment companies,” referred to as “PFICs,” and the limitations and qualifications described in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences,” the exchange of Learn CW Ordinary Shares for shares of Holdco Common Stock pursuant to the LCW Merger (together with the related transactions in the Business Combination) should qualify as a tax-deferred exchange described in Section 351 of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In addition, the parties intend for U.S. federal income tax purposes the Learn CW Merger also qualifies as a tax-deferred reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (a “Reorganization”) to the extent the applicable requirements are satisfied. If the Learn CW Merger only qualifies as a tax-deferred exchange under Section 351 of the Code and does not qualify as a Reorganization, then the exchange of Learn CW Public Warrants for Holdco Warrants in the Learn CW Merger would not qualify for tax-deferred treatment and would be taxable as further described in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences - U.S. Holders.” There are significant factual and legal uncertainties as to whether the Learn CW Merger will qualify as a Reorganization, including that the assets of Learn CW are only investment-type assets and that it cannot be determined until following the closing of the Business Combination whether Holdco will continue a significant line of Learn CW’s historic business or use a significant portion of Learn CW’s historic business assets. Under Section 368(a) of the Code, a transaction must satisfy certain requirements, including, among others, that the acquiring corporation (or, in the case of certain reorganizations structured similarly to the Learn CW Merger, its corporate parent) continue, either directly or indirectly through certain controlled corporations, either a significant line of the acquired corporation’s historic business or use a significant portion of the acquired corporation’s historic business assets in a business. However, due to the absence of guidance as to how the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Code apply in the case of an acquisition of a corporation with only investment-type assets, such as Learn CW, the qualification of the Learn CW Merger as a Reorganization is not free from doubt and the IRS or a court could take a different position. Moreover, qualification of the Learn CW Merger as a Reorganization is based on facts which will not be known until the closing of the Business Combination. As a result, Sidley Austin LLP is unable to opine as to whether the Learn CW Merger constitutes a Reorganization. The closing of the Business Combination is not conditioned upon the receipt of an opinion of counsel that the Business Combination so qualifies for such tax-deferred treatment, and neither Learn CW nor Holdco intends to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Business Combination. The IRS may disagree with the descriptions of U.S. federal income tax consequences contained herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Any such determination could subject an investor or Learn CW to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences that would be different than those described herein. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the Learn CW Merger will qualify for tax-deferred treatment under Section 351 or Section 368(a) of the Code. |
Q: | What proposals are shareholders of Learn CW being asked to vote upon? |
A: | At the extraordinary general meeting, Learn CW is asking holders of Learn CW Ordinary Shares to consider and vote upon: |
• | a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution and adopt (i) the Business Combination, (ii) the Business Combination Agreement, (iii) the Plan of Merger and (iv) each of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, as more fully described elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus; |
• | a proposal to approve by special resolution the LCW Merger and the associated Plan of Merger related to the LCW Merger; |
• | proposals to approve by ordinary resolution and on a non-binding advisory basis, certain material differences between Learn CW’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws; |
• | a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution the Equity Plan; and |

Q: | Did the LCW Board recommend the Business Combination Proposals and the other proposals? |
A: | After careful consideration, the LCW Board has determined that the Business Combination Proposal, the Merger Proposal, the Non-Binding Governance Proposals, the Equity Plan Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal are in the best interests of Learn CW and its shareholders and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” each of those proposals. |
Q: | Are the Learn CW proposals conditioned on one another? |
A: | Each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is cross-conditioned on the approval of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. If our shareholders do not approve each of the Condition Precedent Proposals, then unless certain conditions in the Business Combination Agreement are waived by the applicable parties to the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement may be terminated and the Business Combination may not be consummated. Proposal No. 3 and No. 5 are not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. Proposal No. 3 includes non-binding advisory proposals. |
Q: | What matters are members of Innventure being asked to consider? |
A: | Innventure is soliciting the written consents of Innventure Voting Members with respect to the approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the Transactions contemplated thereby. See the section entitled “Innventure’s Solicitation of Written Consents” for more detail. |
Q: | Did the Innventure Board recommend the Business Combination and the approval of the Innventure Transaction Proposal? |

Q: | Do I have redemption rights? |
A: | If you are a holder of public shares, you have the right to request that we redeem all or a portion of your public shares for cash provided that you follow the procedures and deadlines described elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. Public shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of the public shares held by them regardless of how they vote in respect of the Business Combination Proposal. If you wish to exercise your redemption rights, please see the answer to the question: “How do I exercise my redemption rights?” |
Q: | Will how I vote affect my ability to exercise redemption rights? |
A: | No. You may exercise your redemption rights whether you vote your Learn CW Class A Ordinary Shares for or against or abstain from voting on the Business Combination Proposal or any other proposal to be voted upon at the extraordinary general meeting. As a result, the Business Combination can be approved by shareholders who will redeem their shares and no longer remain shareholders. |
Q: | How do I exercise my redemption rights? |
A: | If you are a public shareholder and wish to exercise your right to redeem your public shares, you must: |
(i) | (a) hold public shares, or (b) if you hold public shares through units, you must elect to separate your units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the public shares; |
(ii) | submit a written request to Equiniti Trust Co, LLC, Learn CW’s transfer agent (“Equiniti”), in which you (a) request that Learn CW redeem all or a portion of your Learn CW Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, and (b) identify yourself as the beneficial holder of the Learn CW Class A Ordinary Shares and provide your legal name, phone number and address; and |
(iii) | deliver your public shares to Equiniti physically or electronically through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). |
Q: | If I am a holder of Learn CW Units, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my Learn CW Units? |
A: | No. Holders of issued and outstanding Learn CW Units must elect to separate the Learn CW Units into the underlying public shares and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares. If you hold your Learn CW Units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must notify your broker or bank that you elect to separate the Learn CW Units into the underlying public shares and public warrants, or if you hold units registered in your own name, you must contact Equiniti directly and instruct them to do so. You are requested to cause your public shares to be separated and delivered to Equiniti by 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [ ] (two business days before the extraordinary general meeting) in order to exercise your redemption rights with respect to your public shares. |
Q: | What are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights? |
A: | We expect that a U.S. holder that exercises its redemption rights to receive cash in exchange for its Learn CW Ordinary Shares generally will be treated as selling such shares in a taxable transaction resulting in the recognition of capital gain or loss. There may be certain circumstances in which the redemption may be treated as a distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes depending on the amount of Learn CW Ordinary Shares that such U.S. holder owns or is deemed to own prior to and following the redemption. For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of a U.S. holder’s exercise of redemption rights, see the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — U.S. Holders — Redemption of Learn CW Ordinary Shares Pursuant to the Learn CW Shareholder Redemption.” |
Q: | What happens to the funds deposited in the Trust Account after consummation of the Business Combination? |
A: | Following the closing of Learn CW’s initial public offering, an amount equal to $232,300,000 of the net proceeds from Learn CW’s IPO and the sale of the Learn CW Private Placement Warrants was placed in the Trust Account. As of [ ], 2024, funds in the Trust Account totaled approximately $[ ] and were comprised entirely of money market funds invested in U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity of 185 days or less or of money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Learn CW initially had until October 13, 2023 to consummate an initial |
Q: | What happens if a substantial number of the public shareholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and exercise their redemption rights? |
A: | Our public shareholders are not required to vote in respect of the Business Combination in order to exercise their redemption rights. Accordingly, the Business Combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the Trust Account and the number of public shareholders are reduced as a result of redemptions by public shareholders. |

Q: | When do you expect the Business Combination to be completed? |
A: | The Business Combination is expected to be completed in 2024. |
Q: | Do I have appraisal rights in connection with the proposed Business Combination and the Transactions? |
A: | Learn CW’s shareholders may be entitled to give notice to Learn CW prior to the meeting that they wish to dissent to the LCW Merger and to receive payment of fair market value for his or her Learn CW Ordinary Shares if they follow the procedures set out in the Cayman Islands Companies Act, noting that any such dissention rights may be limited pursuant to Section 239 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act, which states that no such dissention rights shall be available in respect of shares of any class for which an open market exists on a recognized stock exchange at the expiry date of the period allowed for written notice of an election to dissent provided that the Merger Consideration constitutes inter alia shares of any company which at the effective date of the LCW Merger are listed on a national securities exchange. |
Q: | What do I need to do now? |
A: | Learn CW and Innventure urge you to read this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety and to consider how the Business Combination will affect you as a shareholder or warrant holder of Learn CW or a member of Innventure. Learn CW’s shareholders and Innventure’s members should then vote or return a written consent (if they chose to approve the Innventure Transaction Proposal), as applicable, as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus and on the enclosed proxy card or written consent. |
Q: | If I am a Learn CW shareholder, how do I vote? |
A: | The extraordinary general meeting will be held at [ ]a.m. Eastern Time, on [ ], at the offices of [ ]. If you are a holder of record of Learn CW Ordinary Shares on the record date for the extraordinary general meeting, you may vote at the extraordinary general meeting in person or by submitting a proxy for the extraordinary general meeting, in any of the following ways, if available: |
Q: | If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me? |
A: | No. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial holder” of the shares held for you in what is known as “street name.” If this is the case, this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus may have been forwarded to you by your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, or its agent, and you may need to obtain a proxy form from the institution that holds your shares and follow the instructions included on that form regarding how to instruct your broker, bank or nominee as to how to vote your shares. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank, or nominee. We believe all the proposals presented to the shareholders will be considered non-discretionary and therefore your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction. Your bank, broker, or other nominee can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. As the beneficial holder, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee as to how to vote your shares and you should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide. If you do not provide voting instructions to your broker on a particular proposal on which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote, your shares will not be voted on that proposal. This is called a “broker non-vote.” A broker non-vote, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as a vote cast at the extraordinary general meeting. |
Q: | When and where will the extraordinary general meeting be held? |
A: | The extraordinary general meeting will be held on [ ] at [ ] Eastern Time, at the offices of [ ] located at [ ]. Cayman Islands law requires there be a physical location for the meeting. |
Q: | Who is entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting? |
A: | Learn CW has fixed [ ] as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the extraordinary general meeting. If you were a shareholder of Learn CW at the close of business on the Record Date, you are entitled to vote on matters that come before the extraordinary general meeting. However, a shareholder may only vote his or her shares if he or she is present in person or is represented by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting. |
Q: | How many votes do I have? |
A: | Learn CW shareholders are entitled to one vote at the extraordinary general meeting for each Learn CW Ordinary Share held of record as of the Record Date. As of the close of business on the Record Date for the extraordinary general meeting, there were [ ] Learn CW Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, and [ ] Learn CW Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding. |
Q: | What constitutes a quorum? |
A: | A quorum of Learn CW shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the extraordinary general meeting if one or more shareholders who together hold a majority of the issued and outstanding Learn CW Ordinary Shares entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting are represented in person or by proxy. As of the Record Date for the extraordinary general meeting, [ ] Learn CW Ordinary Shares would be required to achieve a quorum. |
Q: | What vote is required to approve each proposal at the extraordinary general meeting? |
A: | The following votes are required for each proposal at the extraordinary general meeting: |
(i) | Business Combination Proposal: The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Learn CW Ordinary Shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. |
(ii) | Merger Proposal: The approval of the Merger Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Learn CW Ordinary Shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. |
(iii) | Non-Binding Governance Proposals: The Non-Binding Governance Proposals are comprised of non-binding advisory proposals, and may be approved by ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Learn CW Ordinary Shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. |
(iv) | Equity Plan Proposal: The approval of the Equity Plan Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Learn CW Ordinary Shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. |
(v) | Adjournment Proposal: The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Learn CW Ordinary Shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the extraordinary general meeting. |
Q: | What are the recommendations of the LCW Board? |
A: | The LCW Board believes that the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals to be presented at the extraordinary general meeting are in the best interest of Learn CW’s shareholders and unanimously recommends that its shareholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal and “FOR” all of the other proposals. The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Learn CW’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Learn CW and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, Learn CW’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Learn CW’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations. |
Q: | How does the Sponsor intend to vote its shares? |
A: | Unlike some other blank check companies in which the initial shareholders agree to vote their shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the public shareholders in connection with an initial business combination, each of the Sponsor Persons has agreed to vote all the founder shares and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO in favor of the Business Combination. As of the date of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, the Sponsor Persons collectively own approximately 43.2% of the issued and outstanding Learn CW Ordinary Shares. |
Q: | What vote is required to approve the Innventure Transaction Proposal by written consent? |
A: | Approval of the Innventure Transaction Proposal requires the affirmative written consent of Innventure Voting Members holding not less than 75% of the Class A Units, the Class B Preferred Units and the Class B-1 Preferred Units, calculated as a single class. |
Q: | What happens if I sell my Learn CW Ordinary Shares before the extraordinary general meeting? |
A: | The Record Date for the extraordinary general meeting is earlier than the date of the extraordinary general meeting and earlier than the date that the Business Combination is expected to be completed. If you transfer your public shares after the applicable Record Date, but before the extraordinary general meeting, unless you grant a proxy to the transferee, you will retain your right to vote at such general meeting but the transferee, and not you, will have the ability to redeem such shares (if time permits). |
Q: | May I change my vote after I have delivered my signed proxy card or voting instruction card? |
A: | Yes. If you are a shareholder of record of Learn CW Ordinary Shares as of the close of business on the Record Date, you can change or revoke your proxy before it is voted at the meeting in one of the following ways: |
• | Submit a new proxy card bearing a later date; or |
• | Vote in person or electronically at the extraordinary general meeting by visiting www.[ ].com and entering the control number found on your proxy card, voting instruction form or notice you previously received. Please note that your attendance at the extraordinary general meeting will not alone serve to revoke your proxy. |
Q: | What happens if I fail to take any action with respect to the extraordinary general meeting? |
A: | If you fail to take any action with respect to the extraordinary general meeting and the Business Combination is approved by shareholders and the Business Combination is consummated, you will become a stockholder or warrant holder of Holdco. If you fail to take any action with respect to the extraordinary general meeting and the Business Combination Proposal and the other Condition Precedent Proposals are not approved, you will remain a shareholder or warrant holder of Learn CW. However, if you fail to vote with respect to the extraordinary general meeting, you will nonetheless be eligible to elect to redeem your public shares in connection with the Business Combination. |
Q: | What happens if I attend the extraordinary general meeting and abstain or do not vote? |
A: | For purposes of the Learn CW extraordinary general meeting, an abstention occurs when a shareholder is present at the Learn CW extraordinary general meeting and does not vote or returns a proxy with an “abstain” vote. |
Q: | What should I do with my Learn CW share certificates, warrant certificates or unit certificates? |
A: | Learn CW shareholders who exercise their redemption rights must deliver (either physically or electronically) their share certificates to Equiniti prior to the extraordinary general meeting. |
Q: | What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials? |
A: | Learn CW shareholders may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your Learn CW Ordinary Shares. |
Q: | Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the extraordinary general meeting? |
A: | Learn CW will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the extraordinary general meeting. Learn CW has engaged Morrow Sodali LLC to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the extraordinary general meeting. Learn CW has agreed to pay Morrow Sodali a fee of $[ ], plus disbursements (to be paid with non-Trust Account funds). Learn CW will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of Learn CW Class A Ordinary Shares for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of Learn CW Class A Ordinary Shares and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. Learn CW’s directors and officers may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies. |
Q: | Where can I find the voting results of the extraordinary general meeting? |

Q: | Who can help answer my questions? |
A: | If you have questions about the Business Combination or the Transactions or if you need additional copies of this prospectus, any document incorporated by reference in this prospectus or the enclosed proxy card, Learn CW shareholders should contact: |

• | Holdco shall have delivered to Learn CW a copy of the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, duly executed by Holdco, Learn CW and the Sponsor. |
• | Industry and Trends. Innventure’s business is based in a proprietary process for the systematic evaluation of disruptive technology solutions in the enterprise development industry that the LCW Board, following a review of industry trends and other industry factors, considered attractive and expects to have continued growth potential in future periods; |
• | Additional Growth Opportunities. The potential to grow Innventure by identifying opportunities to commercialize new technology solutions and continued development and monetization of Innventure’s DownSelect process; |
• | Experienced and Proven Management Team. The LCW Board believes that Innventure has an experienced management team with diverse experience. Over a six-month period, the Learn CW management team has had the opportunity to engage and evaluate the Innventure team. Learn CW is confident in the management team’s deep industry knowledge and strategic vision. In addition, the entire senior management of Innventure is expected to continue with Holdco following the Business Combination to execute the business and strategic growth plan. Holdco will be led by Gregory W. Haskell as its Chief Executive Officer, who has over 30 years of experience in company creation and development; |
• | Due Diligence. Learn CW’s management and external advisors conducted significant due diligence investigations of Innventure. This included detailed commercial, financial and tax due diligence reviews including market research and meetings and calls with Innventure’s management regarding Innventure’s business model, operations and forecasts. As part of its evaluation of Innventure, the LCW Board and Learn CW management also considered the financial profiles of publicly traded companies in the same and adjacent sectors; |
• | Lock-Up. The Innventure management and certain insiders of Innventure have agreed to a one-year lock-up period with respect to their shares of Holdco Common Stock, subject to customary exceptions which will provide important stability to Holdco for a period of time following the Business Combination; |
• | Reasonableness of Merger Consideration. Following a review of the financial data provided to Learn CW, including the historical financial statements of Innventure and Learn CW’s due diligence review and financial and valuation analyses of Innventure, the LCW Board considered the transaction consideration to be issued to Innventure’s equityholders and determined that the consideration was reasonable in light of such data and financial information; |
• | Other Alternatives. After a review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to Learn CW, the LCW Board believes that the proposed Business Combination represents the best potential business combination for Learn CW and the most attractive opportunity for Learn CW’s shareholders based upon the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential acquisition targets; and |
• | Negotiated Transaction. The terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the related agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby, each party’s representations, warranties and covenants, the conditions to each party’s obligation to consummate the Business Combination and the termination provisions, were the product of arms-length negotiations, and, in the view of the LCW Board, reasonable, and represent a strong commitment by Learn CW and Innventure to complete the Business Combination. The LCW Board also considered the financial and other terms of the Business Combination Agreement and the fact that such terms and conditions are, in their view, reasonable and were the product of arm’s-length negotiations between Learn CW and Innventure. |
• | Innventure Business Risks. The LCW Board considered that Learn CW ordinary shareholders would be subject to the execution risks associated with the combined company if they retained their public shares following the Closing, which will be different from the risks related to holding ordinary shares of Learn CW prior to the Closing. In this regard, the LCW Board considered that there were risks associated with successful implementation of Innventure’s long-term business plan and strategy and the combined company realizing the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination on the timeline expected or at all. The LCW Board considered that the failure of any of these activities to be completed successfully may decrease the actual benefits of the Business Combination and that Learn CW shareholders may not fully realize these benefits to the extent that they expected following the completion of the Business Combination. For additional description of these risks, please see the section entitled “Risk Factors”; |
• | Macroeconomic Risks. Macroeconomic uncertainty and the effects it could have on the combined company’s financial condition and results of operation; |
• | Closing Conditions. The fact that the completion of the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within Learn CW’s control; |
• | Shareholder Vote. The risk that Learn CW’s ordinary shareholders may fail to approve the Condition Precedent Proposals; |
• | Redemption Risk. The potential that a significant number of Learn CW ordinary shareholders elect to redeem their public shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, which would provide less capital to Holdco after Closing; |
• | Litigation. The possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the Business Combination; |

• | If Learn CW is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor has non-reimbursable funds at risk that depends on completion of a business combination, including (a) $25,000 representing the aggregate purchase price paid for the Learn CW Class B Ordinary Shares (having an estimated market value of $[ ] based upon the closing price of $[ ] per Learn CW Class A |
• | As discussed elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation/prospectus, Robert Hutter and Adam Fisher, who serve as directors on the Learn CW Board and as Learn CW's Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively, may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the 5,630,000 Learn CW Class B Ordinary Shares and the 770,000 Learn CW Units that are directly beneficially owned by the Sponsor. See “Beneficial Ownership of Securities—Learn CW Beneficial Ownership of Securities prior to the Business Combination.” In addition, the independent directors of the LCW Board hold 120,000 Learn CW Class B Ordinary Shares in the aggregate, having an estimated market value of $[ ] based upon the closing price of $[ ] per Learn CW Class A Ordinary Share on the NYSE on [ ], 2024, the record date for the extraordinary general meeting. The independent directors of the LCW Board did not pay any consideration in connection with the receipt of such shares. In total, the aggregate amount the officers and directors of Learn CW have at risk that depends on the completion of a business combination is $[ ], based on the estimated fair market values as of the record date. |
• | As a result of the low initial purchase price (consisting of $25,000 for the 7,187,000 Learn CW Class B Ordinary Shares initially issued, or approximately $0.003 per share, and $7,146,000 for the Learn Private Warrants), the Sponsor, its affiliates and Learn CW’s management team and advisors stand to earn a positive rate of return or profit on their investment, even if other shareholders, such as Learn CW’s public shareholders, experience a negative rate of return because the post-business combination company subsequently declines in value. Thus, the Sponsor, our officers and directors, and their respective affiliates may have more of an economic incentive for us to, rather than liquidate if we fail to complete our initial business combination by October 13, 2024, enter into an initial business combination on potentially less favorable terms with a potentially less favorable, riskier, weaker-performing or financially unstable business, or an entity lacking an established record of revenues or earnings, than would be the case if such parties had paid the full offering price for their Class B ordinary shares. |
• | The 5,000,000 shares of Holdco Common Stock into which the 5,000,000 Learn CW Class B Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor and certain of its affiliates will automatically convert in connection with the Business Combination (after giving effect to the forfeiture of 750,000 Class B Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement and assuming no forfeiture of the At Risk Sponsor Shares), if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of $[ ], based upon the closing price of $[ ] per public share on the NYSE on [ ], the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. The 7,146,000 Holdco Warrants into which the 7,146,000 Learn CW Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor will convert in connection with the Innventure Merger, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of $[ ] based upon the closing price of $[ ] per public warrant on NYSE on [ ], the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. Assuming the completion of the business combination under a no redemption scenario, the approximate value of the ownership interests of the Sponsor and certain of its affiliates in Holdco securities, based on the per share price specified in the Business Combination Agreement and the closing trading price of the warrants on [ ], would be $[ ], as compared to the aggregate price paid for all such securities of $[ ]. |
• | In the event that Learn CW fails to consummate a business combination within the prescribed time frame (pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents), or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with the Business Combination, Learn CW will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against Learn within the ten years following such |
• | Learn CW, the Sponsor, and Innventure entered into the Sponsor Support Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor agreed to vote any Learn CW securities held by them to approve the Business Combination and the other Learn CW shareholder matters required pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, and agreed not to seek redemption of any of their Learn CW securities in connection with the consummation of the Mergers. |
• | Pursuant to the letter agreement entered into by our initial shareholders, directors and officers, the Sponsor is subject to a lock-up on sales of their Learn CW Class B Ordinary Shares until the earlier of: (a) one year after the completion of the Business Combination or (b) subsequent to the Business Combination, (x) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their Learn CW Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property or (y) if the closing price of our Learn CW Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and other similar transactions) for any twenty (20) trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Business Combination. Any of their private placement warrants and the respective Learn CW Class A Ordinary Shares underlying such warrants are also locked up until thirty (30) days after the completion of the Business Combination. |
• | Pursuant to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, the Sponsor and certain other holders of Holdco Common Stock will have the right to require Holdco, at Holdco’s expense, to register Holdco Common Stock that they hold on customary terms for a transaction of this type, including customary demand and piggyback registration rights. The A&R Registration Rights Agreement will also provide that Holdco will pay certain expenses of the electing holders relating to such registrations and indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise under the Securities Act. See the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions - Learn CW.” |
• | As a result of multiple business affiliations, Learn CW’s officers and directors may have legal obligations relating to presenting business opportunities to multiple entities. Furthermore, the Cayman Constitutional Documents provide that the doctrine of corporate opportunity will not apply with respect to any of Learn CW’s officers or directors in circumstances where the application of the doctrine would conflict with any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations they may have. Learn CW does not believe, however, that the fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of its officers or directors or waiver of corporate opportunity materially affected its search for a business combination. Learn CW’s management is not aware of any such corporate opportunities not being offered to Learn CW and does not believe the renouncement of its interest in any such corporate opportunities impacted its search for an acquisition target. |

• | Innventure’s operations will comprise the ongoing operations of the combined entity; |
• | Innventure is the larger entity based on historical revenues and business operations; and |
• | the combined entity will assume Innventure’s name and will assume Innventure’s headquarters. |
• | Learn CW has no operating history and its future results of operations and those of Holdco may differ significantly from the unaudited pro forma financial data included in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. |
• | The Sponsor Persons have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how Learn CW’s public shareholders vote. |
• | Learn CW may not be able to complete the Business Combination or any other business combination within the prescribed timeframe, in which case Learn CW would cease all operations, except for the purpose of winding up, and Learn CW would redeem the Learn CW Class A Ordinary Shares and liquidate. |
• | Since the Sponsor Persons have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of Learn CW’s shareholders, a conflict of interest may have existed in determining whether the Business Combination with Innventure is appropriate as Learn CW’s initial business combination. Such interests include that Sponsor will lose its entire investment in Learn CW if an initial business combination is not completed. |
• | The historical financial results of Innventure and unaudited pro forma financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus may not be indicative of what Holdco’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been. |
• | Following the consummation of the Business Combination, Holdco’s only significant asset will be its ownership interest in Innventure, and such ownership may not be sufficient to pay dividends or make distributions or loans to enable us to pay any dividends on Holdco Common Stock or satisfy our other financial obligations. |
• | Learn CW’s public shareholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of Holdco Common Stock as consideration in the Business Combination and due to future issuances pursuant to the Equity Plan. |
• | [NYSE American] may not list Holdco’s securities on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in Holdco’s securities and subject Holdco to additional trading restrictions. |
• | Innventure’s principal revenues are expected to be earned in the future through its subsidiaries and through the Innventure Companies, and Innventure depends on its subsidiaries for cash. Innventure may not be successful in finding future opportunities to license or acquire breakthrough technology solutions from MNCs. |
• | If Innventure is deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, it may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and its activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult to operate or to execute its growth plans. |
• | The Innventure Companies are currently pre-revenue early commercial stage companies that may never achieve or sustain profitability. |
• | If Innventure or the Innventure Companies are not able to satisfy the requirements imposed by MNC partners or have disagreements with those MNC partners, their relationships with these partners could deteriorate, which could have a material adverse effect on the business of Innventure and the Innventure Companies. |
• | Innventure may not be able to obtain additional financing to fund the operations and growth of the business. |
• | There is uncertainty regarding Innventure’s ability to maintain liquidity sufficient to operate its business effectively, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. |
• | AFX currently relies on a single facility for all of its operations. |
• | The failure of AFX’s suppliers to continue to deliver necessary raw materials or other components of its products in a timely manner and to specification could prevent it from delivering products within required time frames and could cause production delays, cancellations, penalty payments and damage to its brand and reputation. |
• | Failure of AFX’s target customers, who are subject to cyclical downturns, to achieve success or maintain market share could adversely impact AFX’s sales and operating margins. |
• | AFX’s ability to establish substantial commercial sales of its products is subject to many risks, any of which could prevent or delay revenue growth and adversely impact its customer relationships, business and results of operations. |
• | AFX may not be able to meet applicable regulatory requirements for the use of AFX’s products in food grade applications, and, even if the requirements are met, complying on an ongoing basis with the numerous regulatory requirements applicable to AFX’s products and AFX’s facilities will be time-consuming and costly. |
• | Accelsius is an early-stage company, and its limited operating history makes it difficult to evaluate its future prospects and the risks and challenges it may encounter. |
• | The market, including customers and potential investors, may be skeptical of the viability and benefits of Accelsius’ cooling products because they are based on a relatively novel and complex technology. |
• | Accelsius’ cooling products may be subject to increased regulatory scrutiny due to their use of working fluid refrigerants that contain fluorine. |
• | Innventure may be unable to sufficiently protect the intellectual property rights of itself and the Innventure Companies and may encounter disputes from time to time relating to its use of the intellectual property of third parties. |
• | The market price of the Holdco Common Stock is likely to be highly volatile, and you may lose some or all of your investment. Volatility in Holdco’s share price could subject Holdco to securities class action litigation. |
• | If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about Holdco, or publish negative reports, Holdco’s stock price and trading volume could decline. |
• | Innventure, the Innventure Companies, and Innventure’s MNC partners may be negatively impacted by volatility in the political and economic environment, such geopolitical unrest, economic downturns and increases in interest rates, and a period of sustained inflation, which could have an adverse impact on Innventure’s and the Innventure Companies’ business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. |
• | Innventure, the Innventure Companies, and their MNC partners face risks and uncertainties related to litigation, regulatory actions and investigations. |
• | Cyber-attacks or a failure in Innventure’s information technology and data security infrastructure could adversely affect Innventure’s business and operations. |
• | their employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles, which might adversely affect Innventure’s and the Innventure Companies’ ability to retain and hire key personnel and other employees; |
• | suppliers, business partners and other parties with which Innventure and the Innventure Companies maintain business relationships may experience uncertainty about their future and seek alternative relationships with third parties, seek to alter their business relationships with Innventure and the Innventure Companies or fail to extend an existing relationship with Innventure and the Innventure Companies; and |
• | Innventure has expended and will continue to expend significant costs, fees and expenses for professional services and transaction costs in connection with the proposed Business Combination. |
• | restrictions on the nature of Learn CW's investments; and |
• | restrictions on the issuance of securities, each of which may make it difficult for Learn CW to complete the Business Combination. In addition, Learn CW may have imposed on it burdensome requirements, including: |
○ | registration as an investment company; |
○ | adoption of a specific form of corporate structure; and |
○ | reporting, record keeping, voting, proxy and disclosure requirements and other rules and regulations. |
• | no governmental authority of competent jurisdiction shall have enacted, issued or granted any law (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent), in each case that is in effect and which has the effect of restraining, enjoining or prohibiting the consummation of the transaction; |
• | the Holdco Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Business Combination shall have been approved for listing on [NYSE American], subject to official notice of issuance; |
• | the parties shall each have performed and complied in all material respects with the obligations, covenants and agreements required by the Business Combination Agreement to be performed or complied with by it at or prior to filing, or a later date as agreed to by the parties; |

• | Holdco’s Registration Statement to be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission shall have become effective; and |
• | Learn CW’s shareholder approval. |
• | a limited availability of market quotations for Learn CW’s securities; |
• | reduced liquidity for Holdco’s securities; |
• | a determination that Holdco Common Stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in Holdco Common Stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for Holdco’s securities; |
• | a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and |
• | a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future. |
• | Learn CW may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including negative impacts on its share price (including to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the Business Combination will be completed); |
• | Learn CW will have incurred substantial expenses and will be required to pay certain costs relating to the Business Combination, whether or not the Business Combination is completed; and |
• | since the Business Combination Agreement restricts the conduct of Learn CW’s businesses prior to completion of the Business Combination, Learn CW may not have been able to take certain actions during the pendency of the Business Combination that would have benefitted it as an independent company, and the opportunity to take such actions may no longer be available (see the section entitled “Shareholder Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Summary of the Business Combination Agreement — Covenants” of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus for a description of the restrictive covenants applicable to Learn CW). |
• | Innventure's system of internal controls over financial reporting failed to prevent or detect material adjustments necessary to appropriately present certain complex and significant unusual transactions in accordance with GAAP due primarily to insufficient staffing of personnel possessing the appropriate accounting and financial reporting knowledge and experience to review and monitor third-party consultants; |
• | Innventure's system of internal controls over financial reporting did not include necessary information technology general controls including related to (i) periodic user access reviews, (ii) user provisioning and de-provisioning, (iii) restriction of privileged access, (iv) authentication settings; |
• | Innventure did not have sufficient controls related to review of accounting treatment related to equity of publicly traded securities that it holds. As a result, there were several material audit adjustments related to these areas including adjustment of unrealized gains/losses on shares of PCT to fair value; and |
• | in 2022, Innventure's system of internal controls over financial reporting did not include adequate segregation of duties or review of periodic account reconciliations and financial reporting prepared by accounting personnel, leading to material misstatements in the financial statements relating to the value of the liability of PCT shares owed to others and the change in the liability of shares owed to others. |
• | expanding Innventure's accounting and finance functions by hiring additional employees within its accounting and finance departments, which has not yet been initiated; |
• | developing and implementing formal duties, processes and responsibilities within Innventure's accounting and finance systems; |
• | implementing additional controls relating to identification and treatment of unusual significant accounting matters within the financial close and reporting process on a go forward basis. |
• | actual or anticipated fluctuations in Holdco’s financial condition and operating results, including fluctuations in its quarterly and annual results; |
• | developments involving Innventure’s competitors; |
• | changes in laws and regulations affecting Innventure’s business; |
• | variations in Holdco’s operating performance and the performance of its competitors in general; |
• | the public’s reaction to Holdco’s press releases, its other public announcements and its filings with the SEC; |
• | additions and departures of key personnel; |
• | announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by the combined company or its competitors; |
• | Holdco’s failure to meet the estimates and projections of the investment community or that it may otherwise provide to the public; |
• | publication of research reports about Holdco or Innventure’s industry, or positive or negative recommendations or withdrawal of research coverage by securities analysts; |
• | changes in the market valuations of similar companies; |
• | overall performance of the equity markets; |
• | sales of the Holdco Common Stock by Holdco or its stockholders in the future; |

• | significant lawsuits, including shareholder litigation; |
• | failure to comply with the requirements of [NYSE American]; |
• | general economic, industry and market conditions other events or factors, many of which are beyond Holdco’s control; and |
• | changes in accounting standards, policies, guidelines, interpretations or principles. |
• | a classified board of directors with three-year staggered terms, which may delay the ability of stockholders to change the membership of a majority of the Holdco Board; |
• | no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates; |
• | the exclusive right of the Holdco Board, unless the board of directors grants such a right to the holders of any series of preferred stock, to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the board of directors or the resignation, death or removal of a director, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our board of directors; |
• | the prohibition on removal of directors without cause; |
• | the ability of the Holdco Board to authorize the issuance of shares of preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquiror; |
• | the ability of the Holdco Board to alter Holdco’s amended and restated bylaws without obtaining stockholder approval; |
• | the required approval of at least 2/3 of the shares entitled to vote to amend or repeal Holdco’s amended and restated bylaws or amend, alter or repeal certain provisions of its amended and restated certificate of incorporation; |
• | a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent, which forces stockholder action to be taken at an annual or special meeting of Holdco’s stockholders; |
• | an exclusive forum provision providing that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for certain actions and proceedings; |
• | the requirement that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by the Holdco Board, Holdco’s chief executive officer, or the chairman of the Holdco Board, which may delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors; |
• | advance notice procedures that stockholders must comply with in order to nominate candidates to the Holdco Board or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting, which may discourage or deter a potential acquiror from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquiror’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of Holdco; and |
• | Holdco will be subject to the anti-takeover provisions contained in Section 203 of the DGCL, which will prevent Holdco from engaging in a business combination with any holder of 15% or more of its capital stock unless the holder has held the stock for three years or, among other exceptions, the Holdco Board has approved the transaction. |

1) | No Redemptions: This presentation assumes that no public stockholders of Learn CW exercise redemption rights (other than those that have already occurred after taking into account the public shares redeemed by Learn CW public shareholders in connection with the Extension Meeting) with respect to their public shares for a pro rata share of the funds in the Trust Account. |
2) | Maximum Redemptions: This presentation assumes that stockholders holding 8,568,421 of the public shares will exercise their redemption rights for their pro rata share (approximately $10.79 per share) of the funds in the Trust Account. This scenario gives effect to public share redemptions for aggregate redemption payments of $92,493 using a $10.79 per share redemption price. Additionally, this presentation also contemplates that Learn CW’s initial shareholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and public shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination. |

(1) | 8,568,421 public shares of Learn CW Class A Ordinary Shares are subject to possible redemption resulting from this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus vote. For every 100,000 shares redeemed, pro forma cash of the combined entity would reduce by $1,079 with a negligible impact on basic and diluted loss per share. |
(2) | Assumes redemptions of 8,568,421 public shares of Learn CW Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the Business Combination at approximately $10.79 per share based on Learn CW Trust Account figures as of March 31, 2024. |
(3) | Represents 38,485,200 shares of Holdco Common Stock to be issued at the Closing as the Merger Consideration. This excludes issuance of up to 5,000,000 Company Earnout Shares because at Closing none of the Milestones will have been achieved and will be considered a liability of Innventure and not an equity interest at Closing. |
(4) | Gives effect to the forfeiture of: (i) 750,000 Learn CW Class B Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement across all scenarios presented; and (ii) an incremental 1,567,474 Learn CW Class B Ordinary Shares for the Maximum Redemptions scenario, reflecting forfeitures of At Risk Sponsor Shares. Further, excludes 344,944 Sponsor Earnout Shares that the Sponsor will receive at Closing, subject to transfer restrictions and potential forfeit if the Milestones are not achieved within seven years because this interest is considered a liability to the Sponsor and not an equity interest at Closing. |

1. | Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information |
(a) | Reflects the transfer of $300 from cash to the Learn CW Trust Account after March 31, 2024 that was required to be deposited into the Trust Account to extend the period of time Learn CW has to consummate a business combination. |
(b) | Reflects the reclassification to cash of the $100,805 of marketable securities held in the Trust Account at the balance sheet date that becomes available to fund the Business Combination, together with the payment of $249 to public shareholders. |
(c) | Reflects estimated incremental transaction costs expected to be incurred by Holdco of approximately $6,530 (increasing accumulated deficit), the reclassification of accrued transaction costs amounting to $807 that are all paid upon Closing, the reclassification of prepaid expenses (transaction costs) amounting to $100 and the reclassification of other current liabilities (deferred credits for transaction costs) amounting to $587. The net reduction in cash of this adjustment was $7,824. |
(d) | Reflects the reclassification of approximately $100,505 of shares of Learn CW’s Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption to permanent equity (Holdco Common Stock of $1 and Additional paid-in capital of $100,504). |
(e) | Reflects the recapitalization of $51,857 of Innventure Units, the issuance of 43,485,200 shares of Holdco Common Stock to Innventure Unitholders as consideration for the reverse recapitalization and the conversion of Learn CW’s Class B ordinary shares to Holdco Common Stock (together $5) with a net increase of $51,852 in Additional paid-in capital. |
(f) | Reflects one time cash awards in the amount of approximately $2,800 expected to be paid at closing by decreasing cash and by increasing accumulated deficit in all scenarios other than the Maximum Redemption Scenario. Holdco is in the process of evaluating compensation and not yet decided the magnitude of stock-based compensation awards that will be incrementally awarded upon Closing. Therefore, no pro forma adjustment is possible currently. |
(g) | Reflects the elimination of Learn CW historical accumulated deficit of $11,083 by reducing Additional paid-in capital upon Closing. |
(h) | Reflects the fair value of (i) Company Earnout Shares contingently issuable to the Innventure Members at Closing and (ii) Sponsor Earnout Shares that are issued at Closing but subject to the same earnout contingencies; and reflected as a liability with a corresponding decrease in Additional paid-in capital. The preliminary fair value of $58,634 was determined based on the closing stock price of LCW on August 1, 2024. A Monte Carlo simulation was completed which approximated the closing stock price because the probability that the contingencies will be resolved is considered to be virtually certain. The fair values of the Company Earnout Shares and the Sponsor Earnout Shares are subject to change as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed. Such changes could be material once the final valuation is determined at the closing of the Business Combination. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the earnout liability will flow through the consolidated statement of operations until contingencies are resolved and shares are issued and the liability is transferred at its final fair value to equity. |
(i) | Reflects an adjustment of $575 to account for reclassification of Learn CW Public Warrants from liabilities to stockholders’ equity thereby increasing Additional paid-in capital. |
(j) | Reflects additional cash deposited of $14,662 through August 1, 2024 and the issuance of Class A Preferred Units of Accelsius in the amount of $9,128 (reflected as an increase in Non-controlling interest) and Class B Preferred Units of Innventure in the amount of $5,534 (reflected as an increase in Additional paid-in capital), subsequent to March 31, 2024. |
(k) | Reflects the repayment of the Learn CW Convertible Promissory Note due to the Sponsor which becomes repayable at Closing in the amount of $3,050. |
(l) | Reflects the redemption of the maximum number of 8,568,421 Class A ordinary shares for $92,493 reducing shares of Holdco Common Stock $1 and Additional paid-in capital $92,217 using par value $0.0001 per share at a redemption price of $10.79 per share. |
(m) | Reflects the reclassification of negative Additional paid-in capital balance of $3,469 to accumulated deficit for the “Maximum Redemption” scenario. |
(n) | Reflects the reversal of the one time cash incentive plan award in the amount of $2,800 (described in adjustment (e) above) for the “Maximum Redemption” scenario as the level of investment attained would not be sufficient to justify payment of such an award at Closing. |
(aa) | Reflects a one time cash award in the amount of $2,800 as if incurred on January 1, 2023, the date the Business Combination occurred for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations. Holdco is in the process of evaluating compensation and not yet decided the magnitude of stock-based compensation awards that will be incrementally awarded upon Closing. Therefore, no pro forma adjustment is possible currently. |
(bb) | Reflects the estimated incremental transaction costs expected to be incurred by Holdco of approximately $10,714 as if incurred on January 1, 2023, the date the Business Combination occurred for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations. This is a non-recurring item. |
(cc) | Reflects elimination of investment income and unrealized loss on investments held in the Trust Account. |
(dd) | Reflects the elimination of fair value movements related to the reclassification of Learn CW Public Warrants from liability to equity classification. |
(ee) | Reflects the elimination of the gain on settlement of deferred underwriting fees following the resignation of the underwriters from their role in the Business Combination and their agreement to waive their deferred underwriting fees. |
(ff) | Reflects the reversal of a one time cash award in the amount of $2,800 (described in adjustment (aa) above) for the “Maximum Redemption” scenario as the level of investment attained would not be sufficient to justify payment of such an award at Closing. |
(gg) | Reflects the elimination of fair value movements related to the reclassification of Learn CW Public Warrants from liability to equity classification. |

(1) | 8,568,421 public shares are subject to possible redemption in connection with the Transactions. For every 100,000 shares redeemed, Holdco’s pro forma cash would be reduced by $1,079 with a negligible impact on basic and diluted loss per share. |
(2) | Assumes redemption of 8,568,421 public shares in connection with the Business Combination at approximately $10.79 per share based on the Trust Account balance as of March 31, 2024, after taking into account shares redeemed by Learn CW public shareholders in connection with the Extension Meeting for their proportional share of the Trust Account. |
(3) | Outstanding Learn CW Public Warrants, Learn CW Private Warrants, and shares issuable under the SEPA are anti-dilutive and are not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share. There are currently 11,500,000 Learn CW Public Warrants and 7,146,000 Learn CW Private Warrants outstanding. Each such warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. Subject to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, these warrants are not exercisable until 30 days after the consummation of a business combination. The SEPA allows for the drawdown of capital in exchange for a maximum of 9.99% of the outstanding voting common shares. 5,000,000 potentially dilutive Company Earnout Shares were excluded from the computation of pro forma net loss per share, basic and diluted, because issuance of such shares is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions which were not satisfied by the end of the period. |

• | are fundamentally sound but underperforming their potential; |

• | Candidate A (EdTech): In December 2021, Learn CW began discussions with Candidate A regarding a potential business combination. Learn CW began receiving due diligence materials from Candidate A and provided Candidate A with a non-binding draft letter of intent in late December, 2021. In January 2022, Candidate A cordially declined to continue discussions further, citing market conditions and concerns over its public company readiness. |
• | Candidate B (Natural Resources Exploration and Production): Following entry into a letter of intent on April 23, 2022, Candidate B pursued a round of interim equity financing, in which discussions on the potential business combination did not advance materially. In late June 2022, Learn CW re-engaged with Candidate B following the completion of the interim financing round. Between July and October 2022, the parties discussed terms and negotiated, but did not execute a revised letter of intent. The parties ultimately terminated discussions in October 2022 due to market conditions and inability to agree on terms of third-party financing in connection with a potential business combination. |
• | Candidate C (Medical Technology): Discussions relating to a potential business combination with Candidate C began in January 2023. In May 2023, Learn CW commenced reviewing due diligence materials from Candidate C. Based on information obtained during due diligence, Learn CW determined Candidate C lacked the operational maturity necessary to achieve a potential business combination and decided not to pursue the Candidate D opportunity. |
• | Candidate D (EdTech): In March 2023, Learn CW began discussions with Candidate D regarding a potential business combination. Discussions between Learn CW and Candidate D regarding a potential |

• | To further align the incentives of the parties to agree on Additional Financing terms, Sponsor to receive credit for bona fide third party offers to provide debt or equity financing that otherwise meets the definition of Additional Financing but that are otherwise rejected by Innventure; |
• | As the Learn CW management team is responsible for the capital raise as opposed to the Learn CW independent directors, 120,000 founder shares beneficially held for the independent directors are carved out from potential forfeiture (the “Founder Carveout”); |
• | To the extent the Additional Funds are less than $50 million, the Sponsor would be required to forfeit (in a straight line forfeiture) up to 1.88 million founder shares (“At Risk Sponsor Shares”) based on the proportion of Additional Funds raised out of a $50 million target, reflecting the Founder Carveout reducing the At Risk Sponsor Shares by 0.12 million from the 2.0 million agreed in the Letter of Intent; and |

Accordingly, 0.3 million of the non-At Risk Sponsor Shares are subject to vesting based on the Milestones. |
• | Industry and Trends. Innventure’s business is based in a proprietary process for the systematic evaluation of disruptive technology solutions in the enterprise development industry that the LCW Board, following a review of industry trends and other industry factors, considered attractive and expects to have continued growth potential in future periods; |
• | Additional Growth Opportunities. The potential to grow Innventure by identifying opportunities to commercialize new technology solutions and continued development and monetization of Innventure’s DownSelect process; |
• | Experienced and Proven Management Team. The LCW Board believes that Innventure has an experienced management team with diverse experience. Over a six-month period, the Learn CW management team has had the opportunity to engage and evaluate the Innventure team. Learn CW is confident in the management team’s deep industry knowledge and strategic vision. In addition, the entire senior management of Innventure is expected to continue with Holdco following the Business Combination to execute the business and strategic growth plan. Holdco will be led by Gregory W. Haskell as its Chief Executive Officer, who has over 30 years of experience in company creation and development; |
• | Due Diligence. Learn CW’s management and external advisors conducted significant due diligence investigations of Innventure. This included detailed commercial, financial and tax due diligence reviews |
• | Lock-Up. The Innventure management and certain insiders of Innventure have agreed to a one-year lock-up period with respect to their shares of Holdco Common Stock, subject to customary exceptions which will provide important stability to Holdco for a period of time following the Business Combination; |
• | Reasonableness of Merger Consideration. Following a review of the financial data provided to Learn CW, including the historical financial statements of Innventure and Learn CW’s due diligence review and financial and valuation analyses of Innventure, the LCW Board considered the transaction consideration to be issued to Innventure’s equityholders and determined that the consideration was reasonable in light of such data and financial information; |
• | Other Alternatives. After a review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to Learn CW, the LCW Board believes that the proposed Business Combination represents the best potential business combination for Learn CW and the most attractive opportunity for Learn CW’s shareholders based upon the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential acquisition targets; and |
• | Negotiated Transaction. The terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the related agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby, each party’s representations, warranties and covenants, the conditions to each party’s obligation to consummate the Business Combination and the termination provisions, were the product of arms-length negotiations, and, in the view of the LCW Board, reasonable, and represent a strong commitment by Learn CW and Innventure to complete the Business |
• | Innventure Business Risks. The LCW Board considered that Learn CW ordinary shareholders would be subject to the execution risks associated with the combined company if they retained their public shares following the Closing, which will be different from the risks related to holding ordinary shares of Learn CW prior to the Closing. In this regard, the LCW Board considered that there were risks associated with successful implementation of Innventure’s long-term business plan and strategy and Holdco realizing the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination on the timeline expected or at all. The LCW Board considered that the failure of any of these activities to be completed successfully may decrease the actual benefits of the Business Combination and that Learn CW shareholders may not fully realize these benefits to the extent that they expected following the completion of the Business Combination. For additional description of these risks, please see the section entitled “Risk Factors”; |
• | Macroeconomic Risks. Macroeconomic uncertainty and the effects it could have on Holdco’s financial condition and results of operation; |
• | Closing Conditions. The fact that the completion of the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within Learn CW’s control; |
• | Shareholder Vote. The risk that Learn CW’s ordinary shareholders may fail to approve the Condition Precedent Proposals; |
• | Redemption Risk. The potential that a significant number of Learn CW ordinary shareholders elect to redeem their public shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents, which would provide less capital to Holdco after Closing; |
• | Litigation. The possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the Business Combination; |
• | Listing Risks. The challenges associated with preparing Holdco and its subsidiaries for the applicable disclosure and listing requirements to which Holdco will be subject as a publicly traded company on the [NYSE American]; |
• | Liquidation of Learn CW. The risks and costs to Learn CW if the Business Combination is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other business combination opportunities, which could result in Learn CW being unable to effect an initial business combination by the Extended Date; and |
• | Fees and Expenses. The fees and expenses associated with completing the Business Combination. |
• | Interests of Certain Persons. Some officers and directors of Learn CW have interests in the Business Combination. See the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Learn CW’s Directors and Officers and Others in the Business Combination”; |
• | A verbal agreement was entered into by Innventure with Mr. Haskell providing for him to receive up to $2.5 million, at the discretion of the surviving company's board of directors, upon the successful consummation of the Business Combination; and |
• | Other Risk Factors. Various other risk factors associated with Innventure’s business, as described in the section entitled “Risk Factors.” |
• | the Business Combination will provide current Innventure Members with greater liquidity by owning publicly-traded stock, and expanding both the access to capital for Innventure and the range of investors potentially available as a public company, compared to the investors Innventure could otherwise gain access to if it continued to operate as a privately-held company; |
• | the potential benefits from increased public market awareness of Innventure and its model; |
• | the ability to obtain a stock exchange listing; and |
• | the likelihood that the Business Combination will be completed on a timely basis. |
• | the possibility that the Business Combination might not be completed and the potential adverse effect of the public announcement of the Business Combination on Innventure’s reputation and ability to obtain financing in the future in the event the Business Combination is not completed; |
• | the risk that the Business Combination might not be completed in a timely manner; |
• | the costs involved in connection with completing the Business Combination; |
• | the time and effort of Innventure senior management required to complete the Business Combination and the related disruptions or potential disruptions to Innventure’s and the Innventure Companies’ business operations and future prospects, including their relationships with employees, suppliers and partners and others that do business or may do business in the future with Innventure or the Innventure Companies; |
• | the additional expenses and obligations that Innventure will incur following the completion of the Business Combination that Innventure has not previously been required to comply with, and the operational changes to Innventure’s business, in each case that result from being a public company; and |
• | various other risks associated with Holdco, the Transactions and the Mergers, including the risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 25 of this proxy statement/prospectus. |
• | If Learn CW is unable to complete a business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor has have non-reimbursable funds at risk that depends on completion of a business combination, including (a) $25,000 representing the aggregate purchase price paid for the Learn CW Class B Ordinary Shares (having an estimated market value of $[ ] based upon the closing price of $[ ] per Learn CW Class A Ordinary Share on the NYSE on [ ], 2024, the record date for the extraordinary general meeting), (b) $7,146,000 representing the aggregate purchase price paid for the Learn CW Private Placement Warrants (having an estimated market value of $[ ] based upon the closing price of $[ ] per Learn CW Public Warrant on the NYSE on [ ], 2024, the record date for the extraordinary general meeting) and (c) $[ ] representing the aggregate amount owed to the Sponsor by Learn CW pursuant to outstanding promissory notes. The Sponsor also owns 770,000 Learn CW Units, which were purchased in the IPO at a purchase price of $10.00 per Learn CW Unit (having an estimated market value of $[ ] based upon the closing price of the Learn CW Class A Ordinary Shares and Learn CW Public Warrants on the NYSE on the record date). In total, the aggregate amount the Sponsor has at risk that depends on the completion of a business combination is $[ ], based on the estimated fair market values as of the record date. |
• | As discussed elsewhere in this proxy statement/consent solicitation/prospectus, Robert Hutter and Adam Fisher, who serve as directors on the Learn CW Board and as Learn CW's Chief Executive Officer and President, respectively, may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the 5,630,000 Learn CW Class B Ordinary Shares and the 770,000 Learn CW Units that are directly beneficially owned by the Sponsor. See “Beneficial Ownership of Securities—Learn CW Beneficial Ownership of Securities prior to the Business Combination.” In addition, the independent directors of the LCW Board hold 120,000 Learn CW Class B Ordinary Shares in the aggregate, having an estimated market value of $[ ] based upon the closing price of $[ ] per Learn CW Class A Ordinary Share on the NYSE on [ ], 2024, the record date for the extraordinary general meeting. The independent directors of the LCW Board did not pay any consideration in connection with the receipt of such shares. In total, the aggregate dollar amount that the officers and directors collectively have at risk that depends on completion of a business combination is $[ ] as of [ ]. |
• | As a result of the low initial purchase price (consisting of $25,000 for the 7,187,000 Learn CW Class B Ordinary Shares initially issued, or approximately $0.003 per share, and $7,146,000 for the Learn Private Warrants), the Sponsor, its affiliates and Learn CW’s management team and advisors stand to earn a positive rate of return or profit on their investment, even if other shareholders, such as Learn CW’s public shareholders, experience a negative rate of return because the post-business combination company subsequently declines in value. Thus, the Sponsor, our officers and directors, and their respective affiliates may have more of an economic incentive for us to, rather than liquidate if we fail to complete our initial business combination by October 13, 2024, enter into an initial business combination on potentially less favorable terms with a potentially less favorable, riskier, weaker-performing or financially unstable business, or an entity lacking an established record of revenues or earnings, than would be the case if such parties had paid the full offering price for their Learn CW Class B Ordinary Shares. |
• | The 5,000,000 shares of Holdco Common Stock into which the 5,000,000 Learn CW Class B Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor and certain of its affiliates will automatically convert in connection with the Business Combination (after giving effect to the forfeiture of 750,000 Learn CW Class B Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement and assuming no forfeiture of the At Risk Sponsor Shares), if |
• | In the event that Learn CW fails to consummate a business combination within the prescribed time frame (pursuant to the Cayman Constitutional Documents), or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with the Business Combination, Learn CW will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against Learn CW within the ten years following such redemption. In order to protect the amounts held in Learn CW’s Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to Learn CW if and to the extent any claims by a third-party (other than Learn CW’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to Learn CW, or a prospective target business with which Learn CW has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.10 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.10 per public share, due to reductions in value of the trust assets, in each case, net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes. This liability will not apply to any claims by a third-party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account and as to any claims under Learn CW’s indemnity of the underwriter of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third-party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. Learn CW has sought to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than Learn CW’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which Learn does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. |
• | Learn CW, the Sponsor, and Innventure entered into the Sponsor Support Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor agreed to vote any Learn CW securities held by them to approve the Business Combination and the other Learn CW shareholder matters required pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. |
• | Pursuant to the letter agreement entered into by our initial shareholders, directors and officers, the Sponsor is subject to a lock-up on sales of their founder shares until the earlier of: (a) one year after the completion of the Business Combination or (b) subsequent to the Business Combination, (x) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their Learn CW Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property or (y) if the closing price of our Learn CW Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and other similar transactions) for any twenty (20) trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Business Combination. Any of their private placement warrants and the respective Learn CW Class A Ordinary Shares underlying such warrants are also locked up until thirty (30) days after the completion of the Business Combination. |
• | Pursuant to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement, the Sponsor and certain other holders of Holdco Common Stock will have the right to require Holdco, at Holdco’s expense, to register Holdco Common Stock that they hold on customary terms for a transaction of this type, including customary demand and |
• | As a result of multiple business affiliations, Learn CW’s officers and directors may have legal obligations relating to presenting business opportunities to multiple entities. Furthermore, the Cayman Constitutional Documents provide that the doctrine of corporate opportunity will not apply with respect to any of Learn CW’s officers or directors in circumstances where the application of the doctrine would conflict with any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations they may have. Learn CW does not believe, however, that the fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of its officers or directors or waiver of corporate opportunity materially affected its search for a business combination. Learn CW’s management is not aware of any such corporate opportunities not being offered to Learn CW and does not believe the renouncement of its interest in any such corporate opportunities impacted its search for an acquisition target. |

• | Our executive officers and directors are not required to, and will not, commit their full time to our affairs, which may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our operations and our search for a business combination and their other businesses. We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of our initial business combination. Each of our executive officers is engaged in several other business endeavors for which he may be entitled to substantial compensation, and our executive officers are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours per week to our affairs. |
• | The Sponsor purchased Learn CW Class B Ordinary Shares prior to the date of this prospectus. Our initial shareholders, including our Sponsor, entered into agreements with us at the time of our IPO, pursuant to which they agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Learn CW Class B Ordinary Shares and public shares without any consideration in exchange, in connection with the completion of our initial business combination. The other members of our management team have entered into agreements similar to the one entered into by the Sponsor with respect to any public shares acquired by them in or after this offering. Additionally, our initial shareholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Learn CW Class B Ordinary Shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame. If we do not complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame, the private placement warrants will expire worthless. Our initial shareholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Learn CW Class B Ordinary Shares until the earlier to occur of: (i) one year after the completion of our initial business combination; and (ii) subsequent to our initial business combination (x) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their Learn CW Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property or (y) if the closing price of our Learn CW Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and other similar transactions) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination (except as described in the section entitled “Principal Shareholders - Transfer Restrictions of Certain Securities” in Learn CW’s IPO Prospectus). The private placement warrants will not be transferable until 30 days following the completion of our initial business combination. Because each of our executive officers and directors will own ordinary shares or warrants directly or indirectly, they may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination. |
• | Our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial business combination. |
• | In addition, as a result of the low acquisition cost of Learn CW Class B Ordinary Shares, our officers and directors could make a substantial profit even if we select and consummate an initial business combination with an acquisition target that subsequently declines in value or is unprofitable for our public shareholders. See “Risk Factors-The Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for the Learn CW Class B Ordinary Shares, or approximately $0.005 per founder share. As a result of this low initial price, the Sponsor, its affiliates and our officers and directors stand to make a substantial profit even if an initial business combination subsequently declines in value or is unprofitable for our public shareholders.” |
• | Focused Commercialization: Innventure’s experienced entrepreneurs are dedicated to the commercialization of the disruptive opportunity, allowing the MNC to focus on its core businesses. We believe this focused, external commercialization increases speed to market for the technology solution. |
• | Accelerated Execution: Innventure brings deep entrepreneurial experience to transform an innovative technology solution from proof-of-concept into a disruptive Innventure Company. This gives the MNC and its customers access to commercialized products, potentially accelerating revenue growth for the MNC while also providing a return-on-investment for a technology asset that would at minimum require significant investment and corporate resources to commercialize and at worst would be orphaned and remain uncommercialized. |
• | Risk Management Approach: As a company comprised of founders, owners, and operators, Innventure aims to both fund the cost of development and scaling and aims to manage the operations of the Innventure Company, with the goal of allowing the MNC to benefit from the finished product without the burden of further investment of capital and other resources. |
• | Value Growth: As the new Innventure Company grows and wins in the market, Innventure shares value with the MNC, providing the basis for potentially increasing the MNC’s enterprise value. Innventure shares value with MNCs through a combination of one or more of the following: upfront technology/IP acquisition or licensing fees, milestone payments, royalties, preferential offtake terms and/or equity in the new Innventure Company. Each deal is unique and is negotiated to ensure optimal value share for the MNC and Innventure. |
• | Access Advantage: The partnership with an MNC provides unique access to MNC technologies and the information needed to help Innventure evaluate a disruptive technology solution in the context of specific unmet market needs. Using both data from the MNC and its own evaluations, Innventure determines if the opportunity should progress to a new Innventure Company. |
• | Developed Technology Solutions: MNCs invest significant time, money, and technical expertise in developing and protecting innovative technology solutions that satisfy unmet market needs for them and their customers. This all occurs well before Innventure acquires the technology solution. A new Innventure Company receives the technology solution—including intellectual property such as patents and trade secrets, product prototypes, manufacturing equipment, and other assets—and has access to the MNC’s technical expertise for transfer and early industrialization of the technology, all of which helps reduce commercialization time, save money, and mitigate common risks inherent to start-ups. |
• | Institutional Data Set: MNCs also spend significant time and money developing deep, proprietary market knowledge, which is very difficult for a typical new venture to replicate. MNCs provide Innventure with highly robust data, including market insights and customer testing, to understand unmet market needs and to assess the technology solution and potential business models. |
• | Early Customer Adoption: We believe MNCs will be motivated to catalyze market adoption by becoming early customers and/or providing channel access to facilitate the initial customer base to drive financial and strategic value. In some cases, MNCs may choose to sign offtake agreements with the new company and/or facilitate access to prospective customers within their sphere of influence (e.g., suppliers or customers). Additionally, we believe that having the MNC as the original “inventor” of the technology solution brings immediate credibility to the new Innventure Company which can lead to greater interest from potential customers. |
1. | Designed to help reduce technology and business risk: Well-researched, prototyped, and well-protected technology solutions on which MNCs have spent significant R&D time and money and for which the MNCs have market and customer data that Innventure uses as a key input to deeply understand market needs and to help define robust go-to-market strategies and overall business plans. |
2. | Sustainability: Technology solutions with significant, tangible sustainability benefits (e.g., those that help MNCs (or others) meet their stated sustainability goals). |
3. | Generally clear path to early customers: Available MNC market and customer data, other Innventure primary and secondary research and MNC channel access can be critical elements Innventure leverages to drive early market adoption. |
4. | Opportunity to create a target enterprise value of at least $1 billion: Focus on disruptive technology solutions that have the potential to scale quickly and transform industries and/or markets. Innventure only launches companies that we believe have a reasonable pathway to achieving a target enterprise value of at least $1 billion. |
• | PureCycle: Purifies and recycles post-industrial and post-consumer polypropylene waste back to a like virgin grade polymer, usable across a broad range of applications and markets. PureCycle became a publicly traded company in 2021 and, as of June 30, 2024, Innventure owns less than 2% of PureCycle. |
• | AeroFlexx: Combines the best attributes of flexible pouches and rigid bottles to provide CPG companies with a novel, curbside recyclable primarily liquid package that uses up to 85% less virgin plastic, significantly simplifies packaging supply chains, and enables innovative package shapes and creative artwork. AeroFlexx is in the early stages of operations and is beginning to ramp up its commercial production capabilities. The current manufacturing footprint installed and on order is projected to be sufficient to meet projected demand through early to mid 2025. |
• | Accelsius: Delivers a transformative industry solution to thermal management to CPUs and GPUs in datacenter and telecommunications applications, with potential to allow operators to increase computational throughput and capacity, increase revenue, reduce operating costs, increase energy efficiency, and drive sustainability across server, switching, and edge computing environments. Accelsius is an early-stage company that is just beginning revenue-generating operations. Accelsius has been focused on developing and commercializing data center cooling products since its inception in 2022 and has delivered customer proof-of-concept pilots in Q2 2024. |

• | Virgin Plastic Avoidance: Uses up to 85% less virgin plastic compared with rigid bottle/cap/label alternatives. |
• | Curbside Recyclability: Curbside recyclability where all plastic bottles are accepted |
• | Package Circularity: AeroFlexx packaging can incorporate up to 50% recycled content without compromise. |
• | Life Cycle Analysis: By considering source reduction, recycled content, recyclability and eliminating excess packaging material in e-commerce, AeroFlexx can deliver up to 83% less waste to landfills, 69% GHG reduction, and 73% less water use. |
• | UN Sustainable Goals Alignment: AeroFlexx can contribute to meeting several of the sustainable development goals (“SDGs”) outlined by the United Nations, including industry, innovation, and infrastructure; responsible consumption and production; climate action; and life below water. |
• | Reduces Complexity of Sourcing: AeroFlexx ships as a flat pak and replaces the bottle, cap and label that customer must procure from multiple sources and destinations. |
• | Reduced Transportation Cost and Footprint: prior to filling the package, shipping as a flat pak creates a form factor that takes up less than 10% of the space in shipping of an equivalent pre-formed empty rigid bottle, in addition to eliminating the need for cap and label supply chains. This reduces cost and environmental footprint by taking trucks off the road. |
• | Lowers Warehouse Requirements and Inventory Cost: with the AeroFlexx flat pak replacing pre-formed empty bottles, caps and labels, there is an overall reduction in the need for inventory space and overall cost associated with labor and working capital. |
• | ISTA-6 Amazon Approved: for shipping liquids via the e-commerce channel, reductions in damages from breakage, leakage and handling can generate significant savings through lower returns or refund rates and reduced overall package and labor costs. This can improve consumer satisfaction, reducing both e-commerce packing costs and fees charged for leaking products within distribution centers. |
• | Omni-Channel Ready: the pak is omni-channel ready as soon as it is filled with liquid product from the AeroFlexx filling machine, which we expect to eliminate SKU proliferation based on desired sales distribution channel. |
• | New Size/Shape Development Efficiency: flexible manufacturing eliminates the need for capital intensive molds and tooling costs, which enables rapid adoption at a much lower cost. |
• | Product Safety: designed with hygiene in mind with tamper proof packaging that eliminates the use of a discrete closure with AeroFlexx proprietary integrated valve (e.g., no need for a separate cap, pump or package sealing and dispensing device) to help keep products safe and prevent product losses. |
• | Innovation and Technology: revolutionizing liquid packaging by delivering the best attributes of flexibles (less plastic, reduced shipping) and rigids bottles (retains shape throughout use, controlled dispensing). Our commitment to innovation drives the continuous development of packaging solutions of different sizes and shapes. |
• | Deliver Superior Packaging: consistently producing high-quality packaging that exceeds industry standards and regulatory requirements. Driving preferred consumer experience that creates significant brand value. |
• | Supply Chain Integration: turnkey manufacturing offers prospective customers a simplified and scalable supply chain solution. By seamlessly integrating design, manufacturing, and distribution, we believe we can simplify our prospective customers’ operations and provide opportunity to reduce their overall total cost. |
• | Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility: committed to building sustainable liquid packaging and doing our part for future generations by reducing upfront plastic usage, minimizing energy consumption, eliminating excess packaging materials, reducing waste, and lowering overall emissions. |
• | Human Capital Expertise: AeroFlexx’s employees are at the heart of everything AeroFlexx does, and the team brings significant tenure and experience within the packaging industry and deep knowledge of developing and manufacturing packaging. |
• | Andrew Meyer is the Chairman and CEO with over 22 years of extensive experience in both large MNCs and entrepreneurial environments, having spent the last 15 years within four different venture-backed technology startups that included value-add exits such as an IPO and a trade sale to a strategic partner. |
• | Cedric D’Souza is the Chief Technology Officer.

1. | an exponential predicted increase in the thermal footprint, or thermal design power (“TDP”), of server and GPU chipsets which are now beginning to exceed the capability of the incumbent refrigerated-air cooling systems; |
2. | increased and unpredictable global energy costs; and |
3. | an increased level of commitment to environmental sustainability, including from C-suites and corporate management teams. |
• | Components: Increased software stack (including AI) require higher performance processors which increase heat dissipation. |
• | Equipment: More powerful servers, routers, switches, cell tower base stations, and other computing equipment require improved system level cooling. |
• | Systems: Denser racks of equipment are dissipating more heat per unit area. |
• | Facilities: Heat management capacity of data center and telecom facilities are pushing the limits of current air cooling technologies. |
• | Growth: There are currently 4.1 GW of new data centers planned. |
• | TCO savings: Cooling accounts for approximately 40% of a data center’s energy consumption. |
• | Space Savings: Accelsius allows data centers to densify, increasing the number of servers per rack, increasing the number of racks per unit area of data center, and increasing revenue for a given data center footprint and reducing costs as less space is used. |
• | Energy Savings: Eliminates air conditioning needs and costs associated with legacy air-cooling systems. |
• | Water Savings: Potential to eliminate water use in cooling system. |
• | Enables the adoption of high wattage processors. The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) recently suggested that the exponential increase of CPU and GPU wattages is expected to soon exceed the capacity of most existing air cooling systems. |
• | Dramatically improves density in the data center. With Accelsius’s technology, air heat syncs are not required, allowing more processing power in each server. Racks no longer must be depopulated to allow air flow, nor are cold and hot aisles needed. |
• | Allows more power to be allocated to computing rather than cooling. An average data center allocates around 40% of their power to cooling and other overhead. When power used for cooling is reduced, more incoming power for data centers can be used for computing tasks, and data center capacity can be increased dramatically. We estimate that we can reduce the power allocated to cooling by around 49%. |
• | Is compatible with legacy infrastructure. Although new data center builds will prioritize liquid cooling, brownfield sites are still actively introducing AI / ML and other dense workloads. Accelsius technology can fit in a standard rack and connect to existing facility water loops. |
• | Heat removal head room. We believe Accelsius technology will be designed to support not just this generation of processors, but many more to come. Standard CPU power consumption is expected to exceed 600 W and standard GPU power consumption is expected to exceed 700 W by 2025, with high performance GPUs reaching 1000 watts in the same timeframe. Based on the recent trajectory of increasing CPU and GPU power consumption, we believe there is a high likelihood that chips may reach temperatures of up to 2500 watts in the near future. The ability to cool these power processors helps protect the investment in Accelsius’s NeuCool technology. |
• | Expensive (~$100,000 per tank) and with limited thermal headroom (< 50 KW); |
• | Requires modification (re-layout) of server internals for liquid flow and server warranty is usually void; |
• | Servicing requires removal of servers from sealed liquid cooling baths and is time consuming and expensive; |
• | Forklift upgrade of existing rack infrastructure and inefficient use of real estate; and |
• | Leading competitors include LiquidStack, Green Revolution Cooling, and TMGCore. |
• | Very expensive (~$175,000 per tank); |
• | Vapor can get trapped in the servers causing localized hot spots; |
• | Very few pilot implementations are expanded on because “no one wants tanks full of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances coolant in the data center;” and |
• | Leading competitors include LiquidStack, TMGCore and Submer. |
• | Water leaks that can cause catastrophic failure in servers and are the most significant risk. Users state that water leaks around electronic components have occurred and destroyed the servers: “Not a question of ‘if’ it will leak, but ‘when’ it will leak,”; |
• | Bio-fouling (biofilm build up) within pipes and cold plates is a concern; |
• | Cooling higher thermal densities requires large pumps and high pressure/flow rate of water (increasing chance of leaks & electricity use); and |
• | Leading competitors include CoolIT Systems and STULZ. |

In the event that the member entitled to designate such director fails to designate in writing a representative to fill the position, and such failure continues for more than thirty (30) days after notice of such failure, then the vacant position will be filled by an individual designated by the directors; provided, that such individual be removed from such position if the member entitled to designate so directs and simultaneously designates a director. | | | When one or more directors resigns and the resignation is effective at a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies. The appointment of the newly elected directors will take effect upon the resignation of such resigning director. Vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of any director, and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors will be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. | | | Except as statute or other applicable law may otherwise require, in the interim between meetings, any vacancies in the board of directors, including unfilled vacancies resulting from the removal of directors for cause, may be filled by the vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director. A director appointed to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a director shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the director whose death, resignation or removal created such vacancy and until his successor is appointed and qualified. |
| | | | |||
Special Meeting of the Board of Directors | ||||||
| | | | |||
Special meetings of the board will be held on the call of any three (3) directors upon at least five (5) days’ written notice (if the meeting is to be held in person) or one (1) day’s written notice (if the meeting is to be held by telephone or video conference) to the directors, or upon such shorter notice as may be approved by all directors. Any director may waive such notice as to himself. | | | Special meetings of the board of directors may be called by the Chairperson, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Secretary or a majority of the directors then in office. Any such special meetings will be held at a time, date and place they so fix. Notice to directors of the date, place and time of any special meeting of the board of directors shall be given to each director by the Secretary or by the officer or one of the directors calling the meeting. The notice need not specify the place of the meeting if the meeting is to be held at the corporation’s principal executive office nor the purpose of the meeting. | | | A director, or other officer on the direction of a director, may call a meeting of the directors by sending at least two (2) days’ notice in writing to every director. The notice must set forth the general nature of the business to be considered unless notice is waived by all the directors either at, before, or after the meeting is held. To any such notice of a meeting of the directors all the provisions of the articles relating to the giving of notices by the company to the members apply. |

Stockholder Action by Written Consent | ||||||
| | | | |||
Any matter that is to be voted on, consented to, or approved by voting members may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if consented to, in writing or by electronic transmission, by a member or members holding not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the appropriate voting units held by all members of such class. A record will be maintained by the board of each action taken by written consent of a member or members. | | | Any action permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the corporation (and may not be taken by consent of the stockholders in lieu of a meeting). Any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of any series of preferred stock may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, to the extent expressly so provided by the applicable preferred stock designation relating to such series of preferred stock. | | | A resolution in writing signed by or on behalf of all of the members entitled to receive notice of and to attend and vote at general meetings will be as valid and effective as if the resolution had been passed at a general meeting of the company duly convened and held. |
| | | | |||
Amendment to Charter | ||||||
| | | | |||
No provision of the limited liability company agreement may be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing executed by WE-INN and Innventure1. | | | The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will provide that, in addition to any other vote that may be required by law, applicable stock exchange rule or the terms of any series of preferred stock, the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors will be required to amend or repeal any provision thereof. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will also provide that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the then outstanding shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors will be required to amend or repeal the provisions thereof relating to Holdco’s name, registered address or agent, or purpose. | | | Subject to the provisions of any applicable statute, the company may alter or add to the memorandum and articles by special resolution. In the event that any amendment is made to the articles with respect to any provision relating to members’ rights or pre-business combination activity, each holder of public shares who is not the sponsor, a founder, officer, or director will be provided with the opportunity to redeem their shares upon the approval or effectiveness of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held and not previously released to the company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. |

Amendment of Bylaws | ||||||
| | | | |||
Not applicable. | | | The board of directors is expressly empowered to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws. The stockholders also have power to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws. Such action by stockholders requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all the then outstanding shares of voting stock of the corporation with the power to vote generally in an election of directors, voting together as a single class. | | | Not applicable. |
| | | | |||
Quorum | ||||||
| | | | |||
Board of Directors. A majority of the directors serving on the board which, for so long as a WE-INN Director is then serving, must include at least one WE-INN Director, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business of the board. Members. Innventure’s limited liability company agreement states that a quorum of any meeting of the voting members requires the presence of the members holding a majority of the appropriate voting units held by all members. | | | Board of Directors. At all meetings of the board of directors, a majority of the total number of directors constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business. Stockholders. At any meeting of the stockholders, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Holdco entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person, or by remote communication, or represented by proxy, constitutes a quorum for all purposes, unless or except to the extent that the presence of a larger number may be required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange upon which Holdco’s securities are listed. | | | Board of Directors. The quorum for the transaction of the business of the directors may be fixed by the directors, and unless so fixed, will be a majority of the directors then in office. Shareholders. The holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares, being individuals present in person or by proxy, or if a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorized representative or proxy, will be a quorum. |
| | | | |||
Annual Stockholder Meetings | ||||||
| | | | |||
The Delaware Limited Liability Company Act does not require the company to hold an annual members’ meeting. Innventure’s limited liability company agreement similarly does not mandate an annual members’ meeting. | | | The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held for the election of directors at such date and time as may be designated by or in the manner determined by resolution of the board of directors from time to time. Any other business as may be properly brought before the annual meeting of stockholders may be transacted at the annual meeting of stockholders. | | | The company may, but is not required to, in each year hold a general meeting as its annual general meeting, and shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it. Any annual general meeting shall be held at such time and place as the directors shall appoint. |

Special Stockholder Meetings | ||||||
| | | | |||
Meetings of the members holding units of a certain class may be called by the board or a member or group of members holding more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the then-outstanding votes attributable to the relevant voting units of such class. Only members who hold the relevant voting units have the right to attend meetings of the members. | | | Subject to the special rights of the holders of one or more series of preferred stock, special meetings of the stockholders of the corporation may be called, for any purpose, at any time only by or at the direction of the board of directors, the Chairperson of the board of directors, the Chief Executive Officer or President. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, special meetings cannot be called by any other person. | | | All general meetings other than annual general meetings shall be called extraordinary general meetings. The directors, the chief executive officer or the chairman of the board of directors may call general meetings, and, for the avoidance of doubt, members shall not have the ability to call general meetings. |
| | | | |||
Notice of Stockholder Meetings | ||||||
| | | | |||
Written notice stating the place, date, and time of the meeting and, in the case of a meeting of the members not regularly scheduled, describing the purposes for which the meeting is called, must be delivered not fewer than ten (10) days and not more than thirty (30) days before the date of the meeting to each voting member, by or at the direction of the board or the member(s) calling the meeting. | | | Notice of any meeting of stockholders must be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting.

Business to be Conducted at Stockholder Meetings | ||||||
| | | | |||
The business to be conducted at a meeting need not be limited to the purpose described in the notice and can include business to be conducted by voting members; provided that the appropriate voting members shall have been notified of the meeting, and any voting member holding the appropriate voting units shall have the right to request removal from the meeting of any voting member that does not hold any of the applicable class of units prior to any discussion of business at the meeting for which such units do not have a vote. | | | At an annual meeting of stockholders, the only business that shall be conducted is such business that has been properly brought before the meeting. To properly bring a matter for consideration at an annual meeting, a stockholder must: (A) (i) be a stockholder of record of Holdco both at the time of giving notice and at the time of the meeting; (ii) be entitled to vote at the meeting; and (iii) be in compliance with Section 2.13 of the articles in all respects; or (B) have properly made such proposal in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, which proposal has been included in the proxy statement for such annual meeting of the stockholders. The only matters that may be brought before a special meeting of stockholders are the matters specified in Holdco’s notice of meeting of the stockholders. | | | Members seeking to bring business before the annual general meeting must deliver notice to the principal executive offices of Learn CW not less than 120 calendar days before the date the company’s proxy statement is released to members, or, if the company did not hold an annual general meeting the previous year, or if the date of the current year’s annual general meeting has been changed by more than thirty (30) days from the date of the previous year’s annual general meeting, then the deadline will be set by the board of directors with such deadline being a reasonable time before the company begins to print and send its related proxy materials. |
| | | | |||
Advance Notice Requirements | ||||||
| | | | |||
Not applicable. | | | Generally, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice relating to any nomination or other business to be brought before an annual meeting must be delivered to the Secretary at Holdco’s principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the one-year anniversary of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. The Amended and Restated Bylaws will also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. | | | Members seeking to bring business or nominate candidates for appointment as directors at the annual general meeting must deliver notice to the principal executive offices of the company not less than 120 calendar days before the date of the company’s proxy statement released to members in connection with the previous year’s annual general meeting or, if the company did not hold an annual general meeting the previous year, or if the date of the current year’s annual general meeting has been changed by more than thirty (30) days from the date of the previous year’s annual general meeting, then the deadline will be set by the board of directors with such deadline being a reasonable time before the company begins to print and send its related proxy materials. |

Limitation of Liability of Directors and Officers | ||||||
| | | | |||
Except as otherwise provided in the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, no director will be obligated personally for any debt, obligation or liability of Innventure or any of its subsidiaries solely by reason of being a director. The Innventure limited liability company agreement does not create or impose any fiduciary duty on any member, officer or director. | | | No director or officer of Holdco shall have any personal liability to Holdco or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL. | | | No director or officer will be liable for any loss or damage incurred by Learn CW as a result (whether direct or indirect) of the carrying out of their functions unless that liability arises through actual fraud, willful neglect or willful default. No person will be found to have committed actual fraud, willful neglect or willful default unless or until a court of competent jurisdiction makes a finding to that effect. |
| | | | |||
Indemnification of Directors and Officers | ||||||
| | | | |||
To the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, Innventure will indemnify and hold harmless any director or officer against any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments, fines or liabilities, and any amounts expended in settlement of any claims by reason of any act or omission performed on behalf of Innventure or when acting in connection with Innventure, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner believed to be in the best interests of the company, and such person’s conduct did not constitute fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or a material breach of the limited liability company agreement. | | | To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, Holdco shall indemnify and hold harmless, any director or officer who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection with any such proceeding. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, subject to certain exceptions, Holdco shall be required to indemnify a person in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person only if the proceeding was authorized by the board of directors. | | | Every director and officer together with every former director and former officer shall be indemnified out of the assets of Learn CW against any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages or expenses, including legal expenses, whatsoever which they or any of them may incur as a result of any act or failure to act in carrying out their functions other than such liability (if any) that they may incur by reason of their own actual fraud, willful neglect or willful default. No person will be found to have committed actual fraud, willful neglect or willful default unless or until a court of competent jurisdiction makes a finding to that effect. |

Dividends, Distributions and Stock Repurchases | ||||||
| | | | |||
The board will have sole discretion regarding the amounts and timing of distributions to members participating in the Innventure business, including to decide to forego payment of distributions in order to provide for the retention and establishment of reserves of such funds as it deems necessary with respect to the reasonable business needs of the company. | | | Subject to any restrictions contained in either (i) the DGCL or (ii) Holdco’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the board of directors may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of its stock. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of stock. The board of directors may set apart out of any of the funds of Holdco available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper | | | The directors may resolve to pay dividends and other distributions on shares in issue and authorize payment of the dividends or other distributions out of the funds of the company.

The board must, within forty-five (45) days of the end of any fiscal year, use its best commercial efforts to distribute to each member holding Class A Units, Class B Preferred Units, Class B-1 Preferred Units or Class C Units, in proportion to its respective Innventure business ownership percentage. All distributions to members holding Class PCTA Units shall be made in accordance with a member’s Class PCTA percentage. All distributions to members holding Class I Units shall be made in accordance with a member’s Class I percentage. | | | purpose and may abolish any such reserve. Such purposes may include equalizing dividends, repairing or maintaining any property of Holdco, and meeting contingencies. | | | dividends and other distributions will be paid according to the par value of the shares that a member holds. If any share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for dividend as from a particular date, that share will rank for dividend accordingly. Dividends and other distributions may be paid in any currency. The directors may resolve that any dividend or other distribution be paid wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets and in particular by the distribution of shares, debentures, or securities of any other company or in any one or more of such ways. |
| | | | |||
Liquidation | ||||||
| | | | |||
The board will act as liquidator to wind up Innventure and the board will liquidate the assets of the company on a class by class basis and distribute the proceeds of such liquidation first, to the payment of all of the company’s debts and liabilities to its creditors, second, to the establishment of and additions to reserves that are determined by the board to be reasonably necessary for any contingent unforeseen liabilities or obligations, and third, to the applicable members, with preferred shares receiving priority. | | | In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of Holdco, whether voluntary or involuntary, after payment of the debts and other liabilities of the corporation and after making provisions for any class or series of stock having a preference over common stockholders with respect to payments in liquidation, the remaining assets and funds of Holdco available for distribution will be divided among and paid ratably to the holders of all outstanding shares of common stock in proportion to the number of shares held by each such stockholder. | | | If Learn CW shall be wound up, the liquidator will apply the assets of the company in satisfaction of creditors’ claims in such manner and order as such liquidator thinks fit. Subject to the rights attaching to any shares, in a winding up if the assets available for distribution are insufficient to repay the whole of the company’s issued share capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses are borne by the members in proportion to the par value of the shares held by them. If the assets available for distribution are more than sufficient to repay the whole of the company’s issued share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus will be distributed amongst the members in proportion to the par value of the shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up. |

Duties of Directors | ||||||
| | | | |||
The Innventure limited liability company agreement does not create or impose any fiduciary duty on any member, officer or director. | | | Under the DGCL, directors must exercise a duty of care and duty of loyalty and good faith to the company and its stockholders. In addition to fiduciary duties, directors owe a duty to act within the scope of authority, avoid conflicts of interest, make informed decisions, and monitor performance and compliance. | | | Under Cayman Island law, a director owes fiduciary duties to a company, including to exercise loyalty, honesty and good faith to the company as a whole. Directors must exercise a reasonable level of care, skill, and diligence. |

Holdco will, as expeditiously as possible, make available for inspection by the holders whose securities are included in the registration statement and who have signed a non-disclosure agreement, and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by any holder whose securities are included in the registration statement, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the company, as reasonably requested to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested. Stockholder List. Under Section 220 of the DGCL, any stockholder, in person or by attorney or other agent, has, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, the right during the usual hours for business to inspect for any proper purpose and to make copies and extracts from Holdco’s list of its stockholders. | | | Inspection. The directors shall determine whether and to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and books of the company shall be open to the inspection of members and no member shall have any right of inspecting any account or book or document of the company except as conferred by statute or authorized by the directors or by the company in general meeting.

(i) | Ownership Limitation; Commitment Amount. At the request of the Company, the Investor shall inform the Company of the number of shares the Investor beneficially owns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Investor shall not be obligated to purchase or acquire, and shall not purchase or acquire, any Common Shares under this Agreement which, when aggregated with all other Common Shares beneficially owned by the Investor and its Affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder), would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor and its Affiliates (on an aggregated basis) to exceed 9.99% of the then outstanding voting power or number of Common Shares (the “Ownership Limitation”).

(ii) | Registration Limitation. In no event shall an Advance exceed the amount of Common Shares registered in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby under the Registration Statement then in effect (the “Registration Limitation”). In connection with each Advance Notice, any portion of an Advance that would exceed the Registration Limitation shall automatically be withdrawn with no further action required by the Company and such Advance Notice shall be deemed automatically modified to reduce the aggregate amount of the requested Advance by an amount equal to such withdrawn portion; provided that in the event of any such automatic withdrawal and automatic modification, the Investor will promptly notify the Company of such event. |
(iii) | Compliance with Rules of Principal Market. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not effect any sales under this Agreement and the Investor shall not have the obligation to purchase Common Shares under this Agreement to the extent (but only to the extent) that after giving effect to such purchase and sale the aggregate number of Common Shares issued under this Agreement would exceed 19.99% of the aggregate amount of Common Shares issued and outstanding as of the Effective Date, calculated in accordance with the rules of the Principal Market, which number shall be reduced, on a share-for-share basis, by the number of Common Shares issued or issuable pursuant to any transaction or series of transactions that may be aggregated with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the applicable rules of the Principal Market (such maximum number of shares, the “Exchange Cap”) provided that, the Exchange Cap will not apply if (a) the Company’s stockholders have approved issuances in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with the rules of the Principal Market, or (b) the Average Price of all applicable sales of Common Shares hereunder (including any sales covered by an Advance Notice that has been delivered prior to the determination of whether this clause (b) applies) equals or exceeds the lower of (i) the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) immediately preceding the Effective Date; or (ii) the average Nasdaq Official Closing Price for the five Trading Days immediately preceding the Effective Date). In connection with each Advance Notice, any portion of an Advance that would exceed the Exchange Cap shall automatically be withdrawn with no further action required by the Company and such Advance Notice shall be deemed automatically modified to reduce the aggregate amount of the requested Advance by an amount equal to such withdrawn portion in respect of each Advance Notice. |
(iv) | Option 1 Volume Threshold. In connection with an Advance Notice, if the total number of Common Shares traded on the Principal Market during the applicable Pricing Period is less than the Volume Threshold, then the number of Advance Shares issued and sold pursuant to such Advance Notice shall be reduced to the greater of (a) 35% of the trading volume of the Common Shares on the Principal Market during such Pricing Period as reported by Bloomberg L.P., or (b) the number of Common Shares sold by the Investor during such Pricing Period, but in each case not to exceed the amount requested in the Advance Notice. |
(f) | Option 2 Minimum Acceptable Price. |
(i) | With respect to each Advance Notice selecting an Option 2 Pricing Period, the Company may notify the Investor of the MAP with respect to such Advance by indicating a MAP on such Advance Notice. If no MAP is specified in an Advance Notice, then no MAP shall be in effect in connection with such Advance. Each Trading Day during an Option 2 Pricing Period for which (A) with respect to each Advance Notice with a MAP, the VWAP of the Common Shares is below the MAP in effect with respect to such Advance Notice, or (B) there is no VWAP (each such day, an “Excluded Day”), shall result in an automatic reduction to the number of Advance Shares set forth in such Advance Notice by one third (1/3rd) (the resulting amount of each Advance being the “Adjusted Advance Amount”), and each Excluded Day shall be excluded from the Option 2 Pricing Period for purposes of determining the Market Price. |
(ii) | The total Advance Shares in respect of each Advance (after reductions have been made to arrive at the Adjusted Advance Amount, if any) shall be automatically increased by such number of Common Shares (the “Additional Shares”) equal to the number of Common Shares sold by the Investor on such Excluded Day, if any, and the price paid per share for each Additional Share shall be equal to the MAP in effect with respect to such Advance Notice multiplied by 97% (without any further discount), provided that this increase shall not cause the total Advance Shares to exceed the amount set forth in the original Advance Notice or any limitations set forth in Section 2.01(c). |
(g) | Unconditional Contract. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Company and the Investor acknowledge and agree that upon the Investor’s receipt of a valid Advance Notice from the Company the Parties shall be deemed to have entered into an unconditional contract binding on both Parties for the purchase and sale of Advance Shares pursuant to such Advance Notice in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (i) subject to Applicable Laws and (ii) subject to Section 3.08, the Investor may sell Common Shares during the Pricing Period. |
(a) | On each Advance Date, the Investor shall deliver to the Company a written document, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (each a “Settlement Document”), setting forth the final number of Shares to be purchased by the Investor (taking into account any adjustments pursuant to Section 2.01), the Market Price, the Purchase Price, the aggregate proceeds to be paid by the Investor to the Company, and a report by Bloomberg, L.P. indicating the VWAP for each of the Trading Days during the Pricing Period (or, if not reported on Bloomberg, L.P., another reporting service reasonably agreed to by the Parties), in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. |
(b) | Promptly after receipt of the Settlement Document with respect to each Advance (and, in any event, not later than one Trading Day after such receipt), the Company will, or will cause its transfer agent to, electronically transfer such number of Advance Shares to be purchased by the Investor (as set forth in the Settlement Document) by crediting the Investor’s account or its designee’s account at the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal at Custodian System or by such other means of delivery as may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties hereto, and transmit notification to the Investor that such share transfer has been requested. Promptly upon receipt of such notification, the Investor shall pay to the Company the aggregate purchase price of the Shares (as set forth in the Settlement Document) in cash in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company in writing and transmit notification to the Company that such funds transfer has been requested. No fractional shares shall be issued, and any fractional amounts shall be rounded to the next higher whole number of shares. To facilitate the transfer of the Common Shares by the Investor, the Common Shares will not bear any restrictive legends so long as there is an effective Registration Statement covering the resale of such Common Shares (it being understood and agreed by the Investor that notwithstanding the lack of restrictive legends, the Investor may only sell such Common Shares pursuant to the Plan of Distribution set forth in the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement and otherwise in compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act (including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements) or pursuant to an available exemption). |
(c) | On or prior to the Advance Date, each of the Company and the Investor shall deliver to the other all documents, instruments and writings expressly required to be delivered by either of them pursuant to this Agreement in order to implement and effect the transactions contemplated herein. |
(d) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if on any day during the Pricing Period (i) the Company notifies Investor that a Material Outside Event has occurred, or (ii) the Company notifies the Investor of a Black Out Period, the Parties agree that the pending Advance shall end and the final number of Advance Shares to be purchased by the Investor at the Closing for such Advance shall be equal to the number of Common Shares sold by the Investor during the applicable Pricing Period prior to the notification from the Company of a Material Outside Event or Black Out Period. |
(a) | In the event the Investor sells Common Shares after receipt of an Advance Notice and the Company fails to perform its obligations as mandated in Section 2.02, the Company agrees that in addition to and in no way limiting the rights and obligations set forth in Article V hereto and in addition to any other remedy to which the Investor is entitled at law or in equity, including, without limitation, specific performance, it will hold the Investor harmless against any loss, claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), as incurred, arising out of or in connection with such default by the Company and acknowledges that irreparable damage may occur in the event of any such default. It is accordingly agreed that the Investor shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent such breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce (subject to Applicable Laws and the rules of the Principal Market), without the posting of a bond or other security, the terms and provisions of this Agreement. |
(b) | In the event the Company provides an Advance Notice and the Investor fails to perform its obligations as mandated in Section 2.02, the Investor agrees that in addition to and in no way limiting the rights and |

(i) | Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11 of this Plan and the share counting rules set forth in Section 3(b) of this Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock available under this Plan for (A) Option Rights or Appreciation Rights, (B) Restricted Stock, (C) Restricted Stock Units, (D) Performance Shares or Performance Units, (E) awards contemplated by Section 9 of this Plan, or (F) dividend equivalents, will not exceed, in the aggregate, 11,022,894 shares of Common Stock (the “Overall Share Limit”). The Overall Share Limit shall be automatically increased on the first day of each fiscal year of the Company, beginning in 2025 and ending in 2034, by an amount equal to the lesser of (x) 3% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (y) such smaller number of shares as determined by the Board. Such shares may be shares of original issuance or treasury shares or a combination of the foregoing. |

Item 22. | Undertakings. |
1. | The registrant hereby undertakes: |
(a) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: |
(i) | To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; |
(ii) | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Filing Fee Tables” in the effective registration statement; and |
(iii) | To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement. |
(b) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
(c) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
(d) | That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. |
(e) | That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
(i) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
(ii) | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; |
(iii) | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and |
(iv) | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
2. | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant |
3. | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form. |
4. | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that every prospectus (1) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, or (2) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
5. | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form S-4, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the Registration Statement through the date of responding to the request. |
6. | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the Registration Statement when it became effective. |
