On March 21, 2019, Tecnoglass Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Raymond James & Associates, Inc. and Robert W. Baird & Co. as representatives for several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), relating to the offer and sale to the public (the “Offering”) of (i) 5,000,000 ordinary shares (the “Firm Shares”) of the Company and (ii) up to an additional 750,000 ordinary shares (the “Option Shares”, and together with the Firm Shares, the “Shares”) of the Company, pursuant to an over-allotment option, exercisable for 30 days, granted to the Underwriters.

 

Robert W. Baird & Co. and Raymond James & Associates, Inc. are serving as lead joint book-running managers for the proposed offering. B. Riley FBR, Inc. is serving as an additional joint book-running manager for the proposed offering with D.A. Davidson & Co. and Dougherty & Co. LLC acting as co-managers.

 

Gross proceeds to the Company from the sale of shares in the Offering are expected to be $35,000,000, or $40,250,000 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full. After deducting underwriting discounts and estimated expenses payable by the Company associated with the Offering, the net proceeds to the Company are expected to be approximately $32,500,000, or $37,435,000 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full.
