The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 27, 2020.

1

What proposals will be addressed at the Annual Meeting?

Shareholders will be asked to consider the following proposals at the Annual Meeting:

1.An ordinary resolution to appoint three directors to serve as Class A directors on the Board until the 2023 annual general meeting or until his successor is appointed and qualified (the “Director Appointment Proposal”);

2.An ordinary resolution to ratify the selection by our audit committee of Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Auditor Ratification Proposal”);

3.

A special resolution to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination from January 31, 2021 (or April 30, 2021 if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for a business combination by January 31, 2021) to April 30, 2021 (or July 31, 2021 if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for a business combination by April 30, 2021) (such date or later date, as applicable, the “Extended Date”) by amending the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”); and
4.An ordinary resolution to adjourn the Annual Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Annual Meeting, there are insufficient votes to approve any other proposal submitted for vote at the Annual Meeting (the “Adjournment Proposal”; together with the Director Appointment Proposal, the Auditor Ratification Proposal and the Extension Amendment Proposal, the “Proposals”).

How does the Board of Directors recommend that I vote?

Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that all shareholders vote “FOR” the appointment of each director nominee, “FOR” the ratification of the selection of Marcum as our independent registered public accounting firm, “FOR” the Extension Amendment Proposal, and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

Why is the Company proposing the Extension Amendment Proposal?

Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association originally provided for the return of our IPO proceeds held in the trust account to the public shareholders if there is no qualifying business combination(s) consummated with 18 months of the closing of the IPO, which date was July 31, 2020. On July 29, 2020, we held an extraordinary general meeting pursuant to which our shareholders approved extending the date by which we had to complete a Business Combination from July 31, 2020 to October 31, 2020 (or December 31, 2020 if we have executed a definitive agreement for a Business Combination by October 31, 2020). On October 28, 2020, we held an extraordinary general meeting pursuant to which our shareholders approved extending the date by which we had to complete a Business Combination from October 31, 2020 to January 31, 2021 (or April 30, 2021 if we have executed a definitive agreement for a Business Combination by January 31, 2021). As explained below, we do not anticipate that we will be able to enter into the definitive agreement for an initial business combination by January 31, 2021 or complete an initial business combination by April 30, 2021 and therefore, we are asking for an extension of this timeframe. Accordingly, our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association would be amended in the form attached as Annex A to extend the date by which we must consummate an initial business combination to April 30, 2021 (or July 31, 2021 if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for a business combination by April 30, 2021).

2

While we are currently in discussions regarding business combination opportunities and have entered into a non-binding letter of intent with a prospective target, we have not yet executed a definitive agreement for an initial business combination. We currently anticipate entering into such an agreement with one of our prospective targets but do not expect to be able to execute such agreement by January 31, 2021 or, consummate such an initial business combination by April 30, 2020 even if we execute such agreement by January 31, 2021. Because we may not be able to complete an initial business combination within the permitted time period, the Board has determined to seek shareholder approval to extend the date by which we must complete an initial business combination.

You are not being asked to vote on a proposed business combination at this time. If the Extension is implemented and you do not elect to redeem your public shares, provided that you are a shareholder on the record date for a meeting to consider a business combination, you will retain the right to vote your shares, by attending the meeting and voting in person. In either case, the powers of the proxy holders will be suspended if you attend the meeting in person and so request, although attendance at the meeting will not by itself revoke a previously granted proxy.

How is the Company soliciting this proxy?

We are soliciting this proxy on a proposed business combination when it is submittedbehalf of our Board and will pay all expenses associated with this solicitation. In addition to shareholdersmailing these proxy materials, certain of our officers and the right to redeem your public shares for cashother employees may, without compensation other than their regular compensation, solicit proxies through further mailing or personal conversations, or by telephone, facsimile or other electronic means. We will also, upon request, reimburse brokers and other persons holding stock in their names, or in the event a business combination is approved and completed or we have not consummated a business combination by the Extended Date.

Public shareholders may elect (the “Election”) to redeemnames of nominees, for their public sharesreasonable out-of-pocket expenses for a per-share price (“the “Per-Share Redemption Price”), payable in cash, equalforwarding proxy materials to the aggregate amount then on deposit inbeneficial owners of our stock and to obtain proxies.

What vote is required to approve each item?

Directors are elected by plurality vote and there is no cumulative voting. Accordingly, the trust account, including interest earned ondirector nominees receiving the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest which may be used for working capital obligations, including any necessary dissolution or liquidation expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, regardless of whether such public shareholder votes “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment Proposal.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and the Extension is completed, we will, pursuant to the investment management trust agreement, remove from the trust account an amount (the “Withdrawal Amount”) equal to the number of public shares properly redeemed in connection with the shareholderhighest vote on the Extension Amendment Proposal multiplied by the Per-Share Redemption Price and retain the remaindertotals of the funds in the trust account for our use in connection with consummating an initial business combination on or before the Extended Date. We will not proceed with the Extension if redemptionseligible shares of our public shares cause us to have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (which would occur if therecommon stock that are redemptionspresent, virtually or repurchases of more than 834,481 of our public shares) following the completion of the Extension.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approvedby proxy, and the Extension is implemented, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the trust account in connection with the Election will reduce the amount held in the trust account following the Election. We cannot predict the amount that will remain in the trust account following the completion of the Extension and the amount remaining in the trust account may be only a small fraction of the approximately $13.5 million that was in the trust account as of December 22, 2020. In such event, we may need to obtain additional funds to complete an initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on terms acceptable to the parties or at all.

Who may vote at the Annual General Meeting?

Holders of the Company’s ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Ordinary Shares”), as of the close of business on December 22, 2020 are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Asmeeting will be elected as our directors. The ratification of the Record Date, there were 4,417,396 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.

How many votes must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

Your shares are counted as present at the Annual Meeting if you attend the Annual Meeting and vote online, if you properly submit your proxy or if your shares are registered in the nameappointment of a bank or brokerage firm and you do not provide voting instructions and such bank or broker casts a vote on the ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm. On December 22, 2020, there were 4,417,396 Ordinary Shares outstanding and entitled to vote. In order for us to conduct the Annual Meeting,Marcum LLP requires a majority of the voting power of our outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to votevotes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting must be present at the Annual Meeting. This is referred to as a quorum. Consequently, 2,208,698 Ordinary Shares must be present at the Annual Meeting to constitute a quorum.

How many votes do I have?

Each Ordinary Share is entitled to one vote on each matter that comes before the Annual Meeting. Information about the stock holdings of our directors and executive officers is contained in the section of this Proxy Statement entitled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.”

What is the difference between a shareholder of record and a beneficial owner of shares held in street name?

Shareholder of Record. If your shares are registered directly in your name with the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, you are considered the shareholder of record with respect to those shares, and the proxy materials were sent directly to you by the Company.

Beneficial Owner of Shares Held in Street Name. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer, or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and the proxy materials were forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered the shareholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to instruct that organization on how to vote the shares held in your account. Those instructions are contained in a “vote instruction form.”

What is the proxy card?

The proxy card enables you to appoint Julio Torres and Mauricio Orellana, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as your representatives at the Annual Meeting. By completing and returning the proxy card, you are authorizing each of Mr. Torres and Mr. Orellana to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your instructions on the proxy card. This way, your shares will be voted whether or not you attend the Annual Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, it is strongly recommended that you complete and return your proxy card before the Annual Meeting date in case your plans change. If a proposal comes up for vote at the Annual Meeting that is not on the proxy card, the proxies will vote your shares, under your proxy, according to their best judgment.

If I am a shareholder of record of the Company’s shares, how do I vote?

There are two ways to vote:

Online. If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote online before the Annual Meeting, or vote at the Annual Meeting via the webcast.

By Mail. You may vote by proxy by filling out the proxy card and sending it back in the envelope provided.

If I am a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, how do I vote?

There are three ways to vote:

Online at the Annual Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and you wish to vote online at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a legal proxy from the brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization that holds your shares. Please contact that organization for instructions regarding obtaining a legal proxy.

By mail. You may vote by proxy by filling out the vote instruction form and sending it back in the envelope provided by your brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization that holds your shares.

By telephone or over the Internet. You may vote by proxy by submitting your proxy by telephone or over the Internet (if those options are available to you) in accordance with the instructions on the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction card. This is allowed if you hold shares in street name and your bank, broker or other nominee offers those alternatives. Although most banks, brokers and other nominees offer these voting alternatives, availability and specific procedures vary.

Will my shares be voted if I do not provide my proxy?

If you hold your shares directly in your own name, they will not be voted if you do not provide a proxy.

Your shares may be voted under certain circumstances if they are held in the name of a brokerage firm. Brokerage firms generally have the authority to vote shares not voted by customers on certain “routine” matters, including the ratification of an independent registered public accounting firm. Accordingly, at the Annual Meeting, your shares may only be voted by your brokerage firm for the ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm.

Brokers are prohibited from exercising discretionary authority on non-routine matters. The appointment of Class A directors and the Extension Amendment Proposal are considered non-routine matters, and therefore brokers cannot exercise discretionary authority regarding this proposal for beneficial owners who have not returned proxies to the brokers (so-called “broker non-votes”). In the case of broker non-votes, and in cases where you abstain from voting on a matter when present at the Annual Meetingmeeting and entitled to vote those shares will still be counted for purposes of determining if a quorum is present.thereon.

What vote is required to appoint directors?

Pursuant to our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, directors are appointed by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority of the Ordinary Shares entitled to vote which are present (in person online or by proxy) at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on this proposal, assuming that a quorum is present.

What vote is required to ratify the selection by our audit committee of Marcum as our independent registered public accounting firm?

Pursuant to our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the approval of the proposal to ratify the selection of Marcum as our independent registered public accounting firm requires the affirmative vote the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority of the Ordinary Shares entitled to vote which are present (in person online or by proxy) at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on this proposal, assuming that a quorum is present.

What vote is required for the Extension Amendment Proposal?

Pursuant to our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Ordinary Shares entitled to vote which are present (in person online or by proxy) at the Annual Meeting and which vote on the Extension Amendment Proposal will be required to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as voting “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment Proposal.

You will be entitled to redeem your public shares for cash and elect to redeem your public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal.

What vote is required for the Adjournment Proposal?

Pursuant to our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority of the Ordinary Shares entitled to vote which are present (in person online or by proxy) at the Annual Meeting and which vote on the Adjournment Proposal will be required to approve the Adjournment Proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on this proposal, assuming that a quorum is present.

How do the Company insiders intend to vote their shares?

All of our initial shareholders, directors, officers and their respective affiliates are expected to vote any Ordinary Shares over which they have voting control (including any public shares owned by them) in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal. Currently, our initial shareholders, directors, and officers own approximately 70% of our issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares (the “Insider Shares”). Our initial shareholders, directors, officers and their affiliates may choose to buy, or have already purchased, public shares in the open market and/or through privately negotiated purchases. In the event that purchases do occur, the purchasers may seek to purchase shares from shareholders who would otherwise have voted against the Extension Amendment Proposal. Any public shares held by or subsequently purchased by our initial shareholders, directors, officers and their respective affiliates will be voted in favor of the appointment of each director pursuant to the Director Appointment Proposal, the Auditor Ratification Proposal, the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, if applicable.

What interests do the Company’s initial shareholders, directors and officers have in the approval of the proposals?

Our initial shareholders, directors and officers have interests in the proposals that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. These interests include ownership of (i) 2,700,000 Insider Shares (the initial 2,875,000 were purchased for $25,000; however, 175,000 Insider Shares were forfeited by our initial shareholders in connection with the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option in the IPO) and (ii) 395,000 private units (purchased for approximately $3.95 million), all of which would expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated. See the sections entitled “The Extension Amendment Proposal— Interests of our Initial Shareholders, Directors and Officers”.

What happens if the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved?

Unless the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, the Extension will not be completed.

Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that we will have until January 31, 2021 (or April 30, 2021 if we enter into a definitive agreement for our initial business combination by January 31, 2021) to complete our initial business combination, or such later time as the members of the Company may approve in accordance with the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. If we are unable to complete our initial business combination by such deadline, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust fund, including interest earned on the trust fund not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations and less up to $100,000 of interest the Company may use for working capital obligations, including any necessary dissolution or liquidation expenses, divided by the number of then issued public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public members’ rights as members (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining members and its board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case, to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants or rights, which will expire worthless if we fail to complete our initial business combination by the deadline set forth under our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, what happens next?

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and the Extension is completed, the Company will have until the Extended Date to complete its initial business combination.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, we will, pursuant to the investment management trust agreement, remove the Withdrawal Amount from the trust account, deliver to the holders that have made the Election their portions of the Withdrawal Amount and retain the remainder of the funds in the trust account for our use in connection with consummating an initial business combination on or before the Extended Date. We will not implement the Extension if we would not have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal, after taking into account the Election.

6

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and the Extension is implemented, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the trust account in connection with the Election will reduce the amount held in the trust account following the Election, which will also increase the percentage interest in the Ordinary Shares held by the Company’s initial shareholders, directors and officers and their respective affiliates. We cannot predict the amount that will remain in the trust account if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and the amount remaining in the trust account may be only a small fraction of the approximately $13.5 million that was in the trust account as of December 22, 2020. In such event, we may need to obtain additional funds to complete an initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on terms acceptable to the parties or at all.

Notwithstanding shareholder approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal, our Board will retain the right to abandon and not implement the Extension Amendment at any time without any further action by our shareholders.

How do I exercise my redemption rights?

If the Extension is implemented, public shareholders may seek to redeem their public shares for the “Per-Share Redemption Price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest which may be used for working capital obligations, including any necessary dissolution or liquidation expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, regardless of whether such public shareholder votes “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment Proposal or any other Proposal.

To exercise your redemption rights, you must demand that the Company redeem your public shares. In connection with tendering your shares for redemption, you must elect either to physically tender your share certificates to Continental, at Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, One State Street Plaza, 30th Floor, New York, New York 10004-1561, Attn: Mark Zimkind, at least two business days prior to the Annual Meeting or to deliver your shares to the transfer agent electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System, which election would likely be determined based on the manner in which you hold your shares.

Certificates that have not been tendered in accordance with these procedures at least two business days prior to the Annual Meeting will not be redeemed for cash. In the event that a public shareholder tenders its shares and decides that it does not want to redeem its public shares, such shareholder may withdraw the tender. If you delivered your public shares for redemption to Continental and decide prior to the Annual Meeting not to redeem your public shares, you may request that our transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting our transfer agent at the address listed above.

How are votes counted?

ForWith regard to the election of directors, you may vote “FOR” all or some“WITHHOLD,” and votes that are withheld will be excluded entirely from the vote and will have no effect. For the ratification of the nominees or your vote may be “WITHHELD” with respect to one or moreappointment of the nominees.

Matters on which a broker is not permitted to vote without instructions from the beneficial owner and instructions are not given are referred to as “non-routine” matters. Each of the Director Appointment Proposal, the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal is “non-routine.” In tabulating the voting result for the three “non-routine” Proposals, shares that constitute broker non-votes and abstentions are not considered votes cast.

You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the final vote at the Annual Meeting. You may vote again by signing and returning a new proxy card or vote instruction form with a later date or by attending theour Annual Meeting and voting online if you are a shareholder of record.

Who bears the cost of soliciting proxies?

We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies from our working capital. We have engaged Morrow Sodali LLC (“Morrow Sodali”) to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting. We have agreed to pay Morrow Sodali its customary fee. We will also reimburse Morrow Sodali for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify Morrow Sodali and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. In addition to these mailed proxy materials, our directors and officers may also solicit proxies in person online, by telephone or by other means of communication. These parties will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners. While the payment of these expenses will reduce the cash available to us to consummate an initial business combination if the Extension is approved, we do not expect such payments to have a material effect on our ability to consummate an initial business combination.

Record Date, Voting and Quorum

Our Board fixed the close of business on December 22, 2020, as the Record Date for the determination of holders of our outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to notice of and to vote on all matters presented at the Annual Meeting. As of the record date, there were 4,417,396 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Each Ordinary Share entitles the holder thereof to one vote.

For each proposal, the holders of 2,208,698 Ordinary Shares entitled to vote, present in person virtually or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting, constitute a quorum.

Required Vote

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting by the shareholders present in person virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote in the appointment of directors is required to appoint each of the director nominees.

The approval of each of the Auditor Ratification Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders, present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on this matter at the Annual Meeting.

The approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Ordinary Shares entitled to vote which are present (in person online or by proxy) at the Annual Meeting and which vote on the Extension Amendment Proposal.

Voting

You can vote your shares at the Annual Meeting by proxy or in person online.

You can vote by proxy by having one or more individuals who will be at the Annual Meeting vote your shares for you. These individuals are called “proxies” and using them to cast your ballot at the Annual Meeting is called voting “by proxy.”

If you wish to vote by proxy, you must (i) complete the enclosed form, called a “proxy card,” and mail it in the envelope provided or (ii) submit your proxy over the Internet in accordance with the instructions on the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction card.

If you complete the proxy card and mail it in the envelope provided or submit your proxy over the Internet as described above, you will designate the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, each to act as your proxy at the Annual Meeting. One of them will then vote your shares at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions you have given them in the proxy card or voting instructions, as applicable, with respect to the proposals presented in this proxy statement. Proxies will extend to, and be voted at, any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) of the Annual Meeting.

11

Alternatively, you can vote your shares online by attending the Annual Meeting in person online. While we know of no other matters to be acted upon at this year’s Annual Meeting, it is possible that other matters may be presented at the Annual Meeting. If that happens and you have signed and not revoked a proxy card, your proxy will vote on such other matters in accordance with the best judgment of Mr. Torres or Mr. Orellana.

A special note for those who plan to attend the Annual Meeting and vote online: if your shares are held in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee, you must either direct the record holder of your shares to vote your shares or obtain a legal proxy from the record holder to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting.

Our Board is asking for your proxy. Giving the Board your proxy means you authorize it to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting in the manner you direct. You may vote for or withhold your vote for each nominee or proposal or you may abstain from voting. All valid proxies received prior to the Annual Meeting will be voted. All shares represented by a proxy will be voted, and where a shareholder specifies by means of the proxy a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted in accordance with the specification so made. If no choice is indicated on the proxy, Ordinary Shares will be voted “FOR” the appointment of all of the director nominees, and “FOR” the Auditor Ratification Proposal, the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.

Shareholders who have questions or need assistance in completing or submitting their proxy cards should contact our Treasurer, Marjorie Hernandez, at (646) 320-9058.

Shareholders who hold their shares in “street name,” meaning the name of a broker or other nominee who is the record holder, must either direct the record holder of their shares to vote their shares or obtain a legal proxy from the record holder to vote their shares at the Annual Meeting.

Revocability of Proxies

Any proxy may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before the polls close at the Annual Meeting. A proxy may be revoked by filing with our Secretary (Andina Acquisition Corp. III, Calle 113 #7-45 Torre B, Oficina 1012, Bogotá, Colombia) either (i) a written notice of revocation bearing a date later than the date of such proxy, (ii) a subsequent proxy relating to the same shares, or (iii) by attending the Annual Meeting and voting online.

Simply attending the Annual Meeting will not constitute revocation of your proxy. If your shares are held in the name of a broker or other nominee who is the record holder, you must follow the instructions of your broker or other nominee to revoke a previously given proxy.

Attendance at the Annual Meeting

Only holders of Ordinary Shares, their proxy holders and guests we may invite may attend the Annual Meeting. If you wish to attend the Annual Meeting virtually but you hold your shares through someone else, such as a broker, you must submit proof of your ownership and identification with a photo at the Annual meeting. For example, you may submit an account statement showing that you beneficially owned shares of Andina Acquisition Corp. III as of the record date as acceptable proof of ownership. In addition, you must submit a legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee holding your shares, confirming your beneficial ownership of the shares and giving you the right to vote your shares.

12

Solicitation of Proxies; Expenses.

The cost of preparing, assembling, printing and mailing Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy, and the cost of soliciting proxies relating to the Annual Meeting, will be borne by the Company. Some banks and brokers have customers who beneficially own Ordinary Shares listed of record in the names of nominees. We intend to request banks and brokers to solicit such customers and will reimburse them for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for such solicitations. The solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone, email and personal solicitation by officers, directors and regular employees of the Company, but no additional compensation will be paid to such individuals. We have retained Morrow Sodali to assist us in soliciting proxies. If you have questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your shares, you may contact Morrow Sodali at:

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board Composition

The Company’s business affairs is managed under the direction of the Board. Subject to the terms of the Charter and Bylaws, the number of directors will be fixed by the Company’s Board. The Company’s Board currently consists of eight members, divided into three classes of staggered three-year terms. At each annual meeting of its stockholders, a class of directors will be elected for a three-year term to succeed the same class whose term is then expiring.

When considering whether directors and director nominees have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills, taken as a whole, to enable the Company’s Board to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively in light of its business and structure, the Company’s Board expects to focus primarily on each person’s background and experience as reflected in the information discussed in each of the directors’ individual biographies set forth above in order to provide an appropriate mix of experience and skills relevant to the size and nature of its business.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

The Board is responsible for overseeing the Company’s risk management process. The Board focuses on the Company’s general risk management strategy, the most significant risks facing us, and oversees the implementation of risk mitigation strategies by management. The Company’s audit committee is also responsible for discussing the Company’s policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. The Board believes its administration of its risk oversight function has not negatively affected the Company Board’s leadership structure.

Because we have a Chairman of the Board that is not independent, our independent directors have designated Robert Ramsey to serve as the Lead Independent Director to further strengthen our governance structure. The Lead Independent Director is responsible for coordinating the activities of the independent directors, calling for meetings or sessions of the independent directors, presiding at executive sessions and coordinating the agenda for such sessions with at least two such meetings being held annually, facilitating communications and functioning as principal liaison on Board-wide issues between independent directors and the Chairman of the Board, and when necessary, recommending the retention of outside advisors and consultants who report directly to Board.

Number of Meetings of the Board of Directors

The Board held a total of four meetings during 2021. Directors are expected to attend Board meetings and to spend time needed to meet as frequently as necessary to properly discharge their responsibilities. Each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and committees on which he or she served that were held during 2021 and while he or she was a member of the Board or such committee, as appropriate. We do not have a formal policy requiring directors to attend annual meetings of stockholders, however we expect our directors will attend.

Director Independence

The Board currently consists of eight members, six of whom qualify as independent within the meaning of the independent director guidelines of the Nasdaq Capital Market (Nasdaq). Joe Oblas and Ted Casey are not considered independent.

The Company’s Class A Common Stock is listed on Nasdaq. Under the rules of Nasdaq, independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors. In addition, the rules of Nasdaq require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent. Under the rules of Nasdaq, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of that company’s board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Audit committee members must also satisfy the additional independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and the rules of Nasdaq. Compensation committee members must also satisfy the additional independence criteria set forth in Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act and the rules of Nasdaq.

In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and under the rules of Nasdaq, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of our Board due to his contacts and prior experience with Andina II.

David Schulhof has served as a member of our Board of Directors since November 2018. Since January 2018, he has served as Chief Business Development Officer of LiveXLive Media (LIVX), a global digital media company for livestream and on-demand audio, video and podcast content in music, comedy and pop culture. Mr. Schulhof previously served as President of Music at AGC Studios from March 2018 to July 2019 and also served until March 2018 as the co-founder and President of IM Global Music which he founded in December 2014. From March 2012 to November 2014, he was a Managing Director at G2 Investment Group, an offshoot of New York private equity firm Guggenheim Partners, focusing on the firm’s media investments. Prior to G2, he was the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Evergreen Copyrights from January 2005 through December 2010, which pursued a global acquisition strategy. Mr. Schulhof and his partners built Evergreen into one of the leading independent music publishing companies worldwide and in 2010 sold Evergreen to KKR/BMG Rights Management. Before launching Evergreen, from 1997 to 2004, he was Vice President of Motion Picture Music at Miramax and Dimension Films. Prior to joining Miramax, he was a lawyer at the law offices of Pryor Cashman Sherman and Flynn, representing film, music and TV clients. He began his career at Interscope Records. Mr. Schulhof served as Director of MI Acquisitions Inc., a blank check company that successfully completed a business combination with Priority Holdings LLC. Mr. Schulhof received a B.A. from Georgetown University and a J.D. from the NYU School of Law. We believe Mr. Schulhof is well-qualified to serve as a member of our Board due to his prior experience including with MI Acquisitions Inc.

Walter M. Schenker has served as a member of our Board of Directors since April 2019. Mr. Schnenker has been a principal at MAZ Capital Advisors LLC, the general partner of MAZ Partners LP, a hedge fund, since June 2010. From 1999 to 2010, Mr. Schenker was a principal at Titan Capital Management, LLC, a registered investment adviser and hedge fund. Prior to this, he was affiliated with several hedge funds and brokerage firms, including Steinhardt Partners, Bear Stearns, Gabelli & Company, Inc., Lehman Brothers and Drexel Burnham Lambert.

To be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act and under the rules of Nasdaq, the board of directors must affirmatively determine that the member of the compensation committee is independent, including a consideration of all factors specifically relevant to determining whether the director has a relationship to the company which is material to that director’s ability to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a compensation committee member, including, but not limited to: (i) the source of compensation of such director, including any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee paid by the company to such director; and (ii) whether such director is affiliated with the company, a subsidiary of the company or an affiliate of a subsidiary of the company.

The Board has undertaken a review of the independence of each director and considered whether each director has a material relationship that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. As a result of this review, Kevin Vivian, Robert Ramsey, Charles Vogt, Gregory S. Christenson, B. Luke Weil and Mauricio Orellana are considered “independent directors” as defined under the listing requirements and rules of Nasdaq and the applicable rules of the Exchange Act.

Board Diversity

While the Board does not have a specific policy regarding diversity among directors, the Board recognizes the benefits of a diverse board and believes that any evaluation of potential director candidates should consider diversity as to gender, racial and ethnic background, age, cultural background, education, viewpoint and personal and professional experiences.

Equity Compensation

Under the terms of their new employment agreements, Mr. Oblas and Mr. Hawkins were awarded a grant of restricted shares of Class A shares of common stock in the Company from the personsIncentive Plan (described below) in the amount of 200,000 and 100,000, respectively. In addition, in December 2021, Mr. Hawkins was awarded a grant of 50,000 restricted shares of Class A Common Stock from the Incentive Plan. All such awards are subject to time-based vesting subject to the executive’s continued employment on the applicable vesting date, with the awards vesting quarterly over a four-year period.

Other Elements of Compensation

401(k) Plan

Stryve currently maintains a 401(k) retirement savings plan for its employees, including named below,executive officers, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. Named executive officers are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the same terms as other full-time employees. The Code allows eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation, within prescribed limits, on a pre-tax basis through contributions to the 401(k) plan which has a discretionary match feature (which Stryve has not yet provided). Stryve believes that providing a vehicle for tax-deferred retirement savings through Stryve’s 401(k) plan adds to the overall desirability of its executive compensation package and further incentivizes Stryve’s employees, including named executive officers, in accordance with its compensation policies.

Employee Benefits and Perquisites

Health/Welfare Plans. All of Stryve’s full-time employees, including named executive officers, are eligible to participate in Stryve’s health and welfare plans, including:

medical, dental and vision benefits;

medical and dependent care flexible spending accounts;

short-term and long-term disability insurance; and

life insurance.

Stryve believes the perquisites described above are necessary and appropriate to provide a competitive compensation package to its named executive officers.

No Tax Gross-Ups

Stryve has no obligations to make gross-up payments to cover named executive officers’ personal income taxes that may pertain to any of the compensation or perquisites paid or provided by it.

Stryve provides benefits to its named executive officers on the same basis as provided to all of its employees, including health, dental and vision insurance; life insurance; accidental death and dismemberment insurance; critical illness insurance; short-and long-term disability insurance; a health savings account; a wellness incentive; and a tax-qualified Section 401(k) plan with a discretionary match feature (but for which no match has yet been provided). Stryve does not maintain any executive-specific benefit or perquisite programs.

Stryve Foods, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan

The Incentive Plan allows the Company to grant stock options, restricted stock unit awards and other awards at levels determined appropriate by its board of directors and/or compensation committee. The Incentive Plan also allows the Company to use a broad array of equity incentives and performance cash incentives in order to secure and retain the services of its employees, directors and consultants, and to provide long-term incentives that align the interests of its employees, directors and consultants with the interests of its stockholders. The Incentive Plan is administered by the compensation committee.

The Company has reserved a total of 2,564,960 shares of Class A Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Incentive Plan. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan will be reduced on the date of the grant of any award by the maximum number of shares, if any, with respect to which such award is granted. However, an award that may be settled solely in cash will not deplete the beneficial ownershipIncentive Plan’s share reserve at the time the award is granted. If (a) an award expires, is canceled, or terminates without issuance of Ordinary Shares, by:

each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our Ordinary Shares;
each of our executive officers and directors that beneficially owns Ordinary Shares; and
all our executive officers and directors as a group.

Asshares or is settled in cash, (b) the Administrator determines that the shares granted under an award will not be issuable because the conditions for issuance will not be satisfied, (c) shares are forfeited under an award, (d) shares are issued under any award and the Company reacquires them pursuant to its reserved rights upon the issuance of December 22, 2020, there werethe shares, (e) shares are tendered or withheld in payment of the exercise price of an option or as a totalresult of 4,417,396 Ordinary Shares (including 1,322,396 public shares). Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons namedthe net settlement of outstanding stock appreciation rights or (f) shares are tendered or withheld to satisfy federal, state or local tax withholding obligations, then those shares are added back to the reserve and may again be used for new awards under the Incentive Plan. However, shares added back to the reserve pursuant to clauses (d), (e) or (f) in the tablepreceding sentence may not be issued pursuant to incentive stock options.

Compensation Policies and Practices and Risk Management

The compensation committee considers, in establishing and reviewing our compensation philosophy and programs, whether such programs encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking. Base salaries are fixed in amount and consequently the compensation committee does not see them as encouraging risk taking. We also provide NEOs with equity awards to help further align their interests with our interests and those of our stockholders. The compensation committee believes that these awards do not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking since the awards are generally provided at the beginning of an employee’s tenure or at various intervals to award achievements or provide additional incentive to build long-term value and are subject to vesting schedules to help ensure that executives have sole votingsignificant value tied to our long-term corporate success and investment powerperformance.

The compensation committee believes that our compensation philosophy and programs will encourage employees to strive to achieve both short-and long-term goals that are important to our success and building stockholder’s value, without promoting unnecessary or excessive risk taking. The compensation committee has concluded that our compensation philosophy and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During the last fiscal year, no member of our compensation committee served as one of our employees. No member of our compensation committee entered into a related party transaction with respectus during fiscal year 2020.

No interlocking relationships exist between our Board or our compensation committee and the board of directors or the compensation committee of any other entity. None of our executive officers serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our Board of Directors or our compensation committee.

Compensation Committee Report

Our compensation committee has reviewed and discussed the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” contained in this proxy statement with management. Based on our compensation committee’s review and discussions with management, our compensation committee recommended to all Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by them.our Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement.

PROPOSAL THREE — THE EXTENSION AMENDMENT PROPOSAL#P5#

The Company is proposing to extend
#P5#
#P5#
3. In their discretion, the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination from January 31, 2021 (or April 30, 2021 if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for a business combination by January 31, 2021) to April 30, 2021 (or July 31, 2021 if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for a business combination by April 30, 2021) (such date or later date, as applicable, the “Extended Date”) by amending the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.

The Extension Amendment Proposal is essential to the overall implementation of the Board’s plan to allow the Company more time to complete a business combination. The approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Extension.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved and we have not consummated a business combination by January 31, 2021 (or April 30, 2021 if we have executed a definitive agreement for a business combination by January 31, 2021), we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust fund, including interest earned on the trust fund not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations and less up to $100,000 of interest the Company may use for working capital obligations, including any necessary dissolution or liquidation expenses, divided by the number of then issued public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public members’ rights as members (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining members and its board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case, to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to our warrants or rights, which will expire worthless in the event we wind up.

A copy of the proposed amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association is attached to this Proxy Statement in Annex A.

Reasons for the Extension Amendment Proposal

The Company’s IPO prospectus and the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association originally provided that the Company must consummate an initial business combination within 18 months of the Company’s IPO, which date was July 31, 2020. On July 29, 2020, the Company held a extraordinary general meeting pursuant to which its shareholders approved extending the date by which the Company had to complete a Business Combination from July 31, 2020 to October 31, 2020 (or December 31, 2020 if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for a Business Combination by October 31, 2020). On October 28, 2020, the Company held a extraordinary general meeting pursuant to which its shareholders approved extending the date by which the Company had to complete a Business Combination from October 31, 2020 (or December 31, 2020 if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for a Business Combination by October 31, 2020) to January 31, 2021 (or April 30, 2020 if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for a Business Combination by January 31, 2020). While weproxies are currently in discussions regarding business combination opportunities, we have not yet executed a definitive agreement for an initial business combination. We currently anticipate entering into such an agreement with our prospective target but our Board currently believes that there will not be sufficient time before January 31, 2020 to enter into a definitive agreement for an initial business combination or before April 30, 2020 to complete an initial business combination even if the Company has executed a definitive agreement by January 31, 2020. The Company’s IPO prospectus and Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the Ordinary Shares entitledauthorized to vote which are present (in person online or by proxy) at the Annual Meeting and which vote on the Extension Amendment Proposal will be required to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal of at least two-thirds of the outstanding Ordinary Shares on the record date is required to extend our corporate existence, except in connection with, and effective upon consummation of a business combination. Additionally, our IPO prospectus and Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provide for all public shareholders to have an opportunity to redeem their public shares in the case our corporate existence is extendedsuch other matters as described above. Because we continue to believe that an initial business combination would be in the best interests of our shareholders, and because we will not be able to conclude a business combination within the permitted time period, the Board has determined to seek shareholder approval to extend the date by which we have to complete a business combination beyond the current deadline to the Extended Date. We intend to hold another shareholder meeting prior to the Extended Date in order to seek shareholder approval of a proposed initial business combination.

25

We believe that the foregoing Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provision was included to protect Company shareholders from having to sustain their investments for an unreasonably long period if the Company failed to find a suitable business combination in the timeframe contemplated by the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. We also believe, however, that given the Company’s expenditure of time, effort and money on finding a business combination, circumstances warrant providing public shareholders an opportunity to consider a business combination.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is Not Approved

The approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal is essential to the implementation of our Board’s plan to extend the date by which we must consummate our initial business combination. Therefore, our Board will abandon and not implement the Extension unless our shareholders approve the Extension Amendment Proposal.

If the Extension is not completed and we have not consummated a business combination by January 31, 2021 (or April 30, 2021 if we enter into a definitive agreement for a business combination by January 31, 2021), we will automatically wind up, dissolve and liquidate starting on January 31, 2021 (or April 30, 2021 as applicable).

There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to the Company’s warrants or rights, which will expire worthless in the event we wind up. In the event of a liquidation, our initial shareholders will not receive any monies held in the trust account as a result of its ownership of the Insider Shares or the Placement Units.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal Is Approved

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved to extend the time it has to complete a business combination until the Extended Date, the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association will be amended pursuant to the special resolution in the form set forth in Annex A hereto.

The Company will remain a reporting company under the Exchange Act and its public units, Ordinary Shares, rights and warrants will remain publicly traded. The Company will then continue to work to consummate a business combination by the Extended Date.

Notwithstanding shareholder approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal, our Board will retain the right to abandon and not implement the Extension at any time without any further action by our shareholders.

The approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal will constitute consent for the Company to (i) remove from the trust account the Withdrawal Amount and (ii) deliver to the holders of the redeemed public shares their portion of the Withdrawal Amount. The removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the trust account will reduce the amount held in the trust account. The Company cannot predict the amount that will remain in the trust account if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, and the amount remaining in the trust account may be only a small fraction of the approximately $13.5 million that was in the trust account as of December 22, 2020. We will not proceed with the Extension if redemptions or repurchases of our public shares cause us to have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets (which would occur if there are redemptions or repurchases of more than 834,481 of our public shares) following approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and the Extension is completed but the Company does not consummate an initial business combination, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust fund, including interest earned on the trust fund not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations and less up to $100,000 of interest the Company may use for working capital obligations, including any necessary dissolution or liquidation expenses, divided by the number of then issued public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public members’ rights as members (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining members and its board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to our warrants or rights, which will expire worthless in the event we wind up.

26

You are not being asked to vote on a proposed initial business combination at this time. If the Extension is implemented and you do not elect to redeem your public shares, you will retain the right to vote on a proposed initial business combination when it is submitted to shareholders and the right to redeem your public shares for cash in the event an initial business combination is approved and completed or we have not consummated an initial business combination by the Extended Date.

The Board’s Reasons for the Extension Amendment Proposal

The Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that the Company has until January 31, 2021 (or April 30, 2021 if we have executed a definitive agreement for a business combination by January 31, 2021) to complete the purposes of the Company including, but not limited to, effecting a business combination under its terms. While we are currently in discussions regarding business combination opportunities, and have entered into a non-binding letter of intent with a prospective target, we have not yet executed a definitive agreement for an initial business combination. We currently anticipate entering into such an agreement with our prospective target but our Board currently believes that there will not be sufficient time before January 31, 2021 to enter into a definitive agreement for the business combination or before April 30, 2021 to complete a business combination even if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for the business combination by January 31, 2021. We believe that, given the Company’s expenditure of time, effort and money on the potential business combination, circumstances warrant providing public shareholders an opportunity to consider a business combination. Because we continue to believe that a business combination would be in the best interests of our shareholders and because we will not be able to conclude a business combination within the permitted time period, the Board has determined to seek shareholder approval to extend the date by which we have to complete a business combination beyond January 31, 2021 (or April 30, 2021 if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for a business combination by January 31, 2020) to April 30, 2021 (or July 31, 2021 if the Company has executed a definitive agreement for a business combination by April 30, 2021).

Interests of our Initial Shareholders, Directors and Officers

When you consider the recommendation of our Board, you should keep in mind that our initial shareholders, executive officers and members of our Board have interests that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholders. These interests include, among other things:

(i) 2,700,000 Insider Shares (the initial 2,875,000 were purchased for $25,000; however, 175,000 Insider Shares were forfeited by our initial shareholders in connection with the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option in the IPO) and (ii) 395,000 private units (purchased for approximately $3.95 million).
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an initial business combination, our initial shareholders or an affiliate of our initial shareholders, or the Company’s directors or officers may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation of an initial business combination without interest or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $500,000 of notes may be converted upon consummation of an initial business combination into private units at a price of $10.00 per unit. In the event that a business combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the proceeds held outside the trust account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the trust account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans.
The fact that, if the trust account is liquidated, including in the event we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, B. Luke Weil, Executive Chairman of our Board, has agreed to pay debts and obligations to target businesses or vendors or other entities that are owed money by us for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to us in excess of the net proceeds of our IPO not held in the trust account, but only to the extent necessary to ensure that such debts or obligations do not reduce the amounts in the trust account and only if such parties have not executed a waiver agreement; and

The fact that none of our officers or directors has received any cash compensation for services rendered to the Company, and all of the current members of our Board are expected to continue to serve as directors at least through the date of the shareholder meeting to vote on a proposed initial business combination and may even continue to serve following any potential initial business combination and receive compensation thereafter.

27

Redemption Rights

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, and the Extension is implemented, the Company will provide public shareholders making the Election the opportunity to receive, at the time the Extension becomes effective, and in exchange for the surrender of their public shares, a pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account including any interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest which may be used for working capital obligations, including any necessary dissolution or liquidation expenses). You will be able to redeem your public shares in connection with any shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination or if the Company has not consummated an initial business combination by the Extended Date.

TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS, YOU MUST SUBMIT A REQUEST IN WRITING THAT WE REDEEM YOUR PUBLIC SHARES FOR CASH TO CONTINENTAL STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY AT THE ADDRESS BELOW, AND, AT THE SAME TIME, ENSURE YOUR BANK OR BROKER COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIREMENTS IDENTIFIED ELSEWHERE HEREIN, INCLUDING DELIVERING YOUR SHARES TO THE TRANSFER AGENT PRIOR TO THE VOTE ON THE EXTENSION AMENDMENT PROPOSAL.

In connection with tendering your shares for redemption, prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on January 25, 2021 (two business daysproperly come before the Annual Meeting), youmeeting or any adjournment(s) and postponement(s) thereof.
You must elect eitherregister to physically tenderattend the meeting online and/or participate at www.proxydocs.com/SNAX
Authorized Signatures—Must be completed for your share certificates to Continental, at Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 1 State Street Plaza, 30th Floor, New York, New York 10004, Attn: Mark Zimkind, mzimkind@continentalstock.com, or to deliver your public shares to Continental electronically using DTC’s DWAC system, which election would likely be determined based on the manner in which you hold your shares. The requirement for physical or electronic delivery prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on January 25, 2021 (two business days before the Annual Meeting) ensures that a redeeming holder’s election is irrevocable once the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved. In furtherance of such irrevocable election, shareholders making the election will not be able to tender their shares after the vote at the Annual Meeting.

Through the DWAC system, this electronic delivery process can be accomplished by the shareholders, whether or not it is a record holder or its shares are held in “street name,” by contacting Continental or its broker and requesting delivery of its shares through the DWAC system. Delivering shares physically may take significantly longer. In order to obtain a physical share certificate, a shareholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC, and the Company’s transfer agent will need to act together to facilitate this request. There is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. Continental will typically charge the tendering broker $45 and the broker would determine whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming holder. It is the Company’s understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. The Company does not have any control over this process or over the brokers or DTC, and it may take longer than two weeks to obtain a physical share certificate. Such shareholders will have less time to make their investment decision than those shareholders that deliver their shares through the DWAC system. Shareholders who request physical share certificates and wish to redeem may be unable to meet the deadline for tendering their shares before exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.

28

Certificates that have not been tendered in accordance with these procedures prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on January 25, 2021 (two business days before the Annual Meeting) will not be redeemed for cash held in the trust account on the redemption date. In the event that a public shareholders tenders its shares and decides prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting that it does not want to redeem its shares, the shareholder may withdraw the tender. If you delivered your shares for redemption to our transfer agent and decide prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting not to redeem your public shares, you may request that our transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting our transfer agent at the address listed above. In the event that a public shareholder tenders shares and the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved, these shares will not be redeemed and the physical certificates representing these shares will be returned to the shareholder promptly following the determination that the Extension Amendment Proposal will not be approved. The Company anticipates that a public shareholder who tenders shares for redemption in connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal would receive payment of the redemption price for such shares soon after the completion of the Extension Amendment Proposal. The transfer agent will hold the certificates of public shareholders that make the election until such shares are redeemed for cash or returned to such shareholders.

If properly demanded, the Company will redeem each public share for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of such interest which may be used for working capital obligations, including any necessary dissolution or liquidation expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. Based upon the current amount in the trust account, the Company anticipates that the per-share price at which public shares will be redeemed from cash held in the trust account will be approximately $10.24 at the time of the Annual Meeting. The closing price of the Ordinary Shares on December 22, 2020 was $10.24. Accordingly, if the market price were to remain the same until the date of the Annual Meeting, exercising redemption rights would result in a public shareholder receiving the same amount of cash for each share as if such shareholder sold the shares in the open market.

If you exercise your redemption rights, you will be exchanging your Ordinary Shares for cash and will no longer own the shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly demand redemption and tender your share certificate(s) to the Company’s transfer agent prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on January 25, 2021 (two business days before the Annual Meeting). If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, the Company anticipates that a public shareholder who tenders shares for redemption in connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal would receive payment of the redemption price for such shares soon after the completion of the Extension. If the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved or if they are abandoned, these shares will be returned promptly following the Annual Meeting as described above.

Required Vote

The Extension Amendment Proposal must be approved by a special resolution as a matter of Cayman Islands law, which requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of the company. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Extension Amendment Proposal. Failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the general meeting will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Extension Amendment Proposal.

Our initial shareholders and all of our directors, officers and their affiliates are expected to vote any Ordinary Shares owned by them in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal. On the record date, our initial shareholders, directors and executive officers of the Company and their affiliates beneficially owned and were entitled to vote an aggregate of 3,095,000 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 70.1% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares.

In addition, the Company’s initial shareholders, directors, officers and their affiliates may choose to buy units or Ordinary Shares in the open market and/or through negotiated private transactions. In the event that purchases do occur, the purchasers may seek to purchase shares from shareholders who would otherwise have voted against the Extension Amendment Proposal and elected to redeem their Ordinary Shares for a pro rata portion of the trust account.

Recommendation of the Board

The Board unanimously recommends that our shareholders vote “FOR” the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal. The Board expresses no opinion as to whether you should redeem your public shares.

29

PROPOSAL FOUR — THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

Overview

In the event that the number of Ordinary Shares present in person online or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and voting “FOR” the Extension Amendment Proposal are insufficient to approve the Extension the Company may move to adjourn the Annual Meeting in order to enable the Board to solicit additional proxies in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal. In that event, the Company will ask its shareholders to vote only upon the Adjournment Proposal and not on the other Proposal discussed in this Proxy Statement.

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by our shareholders, our Board may not be able to adjourn the Annual Meeting to a later date in the event that there are insufficient votes for the approval of the Director Appointment Proposal, the Auditor Ratification Proposal or the Extension Amendment Proposal.

Required Vote

The Adjournment Proposal must be approved by an ordinary resolution as a matter of Cayman Islands law, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of the company. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Adjournment Proposal. Failure to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the general meeting will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Adjournment Proposal.

Full Text of the Resolution

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that the adjournment of the annual general meeting to a time and placeinstructions to be confirmed by the chairman of the annual general meeting be ratified, approved and confirmed in all respects.”

Recommendation of the Board

OTHER MATTERS

Submission of Shareholder Proposals for the 2021 Annual Meeting

We anticipate that the 2021 annual general meeting will be held no later than January 27, 2022. For any proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement and form of proxy for submission to the shareholders at our 2021 Annual General Meeting, it must be submitted in writing and comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act. Such proposals must be received by the Company at its offices at Calle 113 #7-45 Torre B, Oficina 1012, Bogotá, Colombia no later than September 29, 2021.

In addition, our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provide notice procedures for shareholders to nominate a person as a director and to propose business to be considered by shareholders at a meeting. Notice of a nomination or proposal must be delivered to us not less than 90 days and not more than 120 days prior to the date for the preceding year’s annual general meeting. Accordingly, for our 2021 Annual Meeting, assuming the meeting is held on or about January 27, 2022, notice of a nomination or proposal must be delivered to us no later than October 29, 2021 and no earlier than September 29, 2021. Nominations and proposals also must satisfy other requirements set forth in the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Chairman of the Board may refuse to acknowledge the introduction of any shareholder proposal not made in compliance with the foregoing procedures.

Householding Information

Unless we have received contrary instructions, we may send a single copy of this proxy statement to any household at which two or more shareholders reside if we believe the shareholders are members of the same family. This process, known as “householding,” reduces the volume of duplicate information received at any one household and helps to reduce our expenses. However, if shareholders prefer to receive multiple sets of our disclosure documents at the same address this year or in future years, the shareholders should follow the instructions described below. Similarly, if an address is shared with another shareholder and together both of the shareholders would like to receive only a single set of our disclosure documents, the shareholders should follow these instructions:

If the shares are registered in the name of the shareholder, the shareholder should contact us at our offices at Calle 113 #7-45 Torre B, Oficina 1012, Bogotá, Colombia, to inform us of his or her request; or

If a bank, broker or other nominee holds the shares, the shareholder should contact the bank, broker or other nominee directly.
