NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10022
NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

TO BE HELD [    ·    ], 2018

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF AVISTA HEALTHCARE PUBLIC ACQUISITION CORP.:

        You are cordially invited to attendAt the extraordinary general meeting, (the "extraordinary general meeting") of Avista Healthcare Public Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company ("AHPAC," the "Company," "we," "us" or "our"), on [    ·    ] at [    ·    ] Eastern Time at the offices of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, located at 767 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10153, for the sole purpose of considering and voting upon (i) a proposal to amend the Company's amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the "Articles") to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination (the "Extension") from October 14, 2018 to February 15, 2019 (the "Extended Date") (the "Extension Amendment Proposal"), (ii) a proposal to amend the Company's Investment Management Trust Agreement (the "Trust Agreement"), dated as of October 10, 2016, by and between AHPAC and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the "trustee"), to extend the date on which to commence liquidating the trust account ("trust account") established in connection with the Company's initial public offering ("IPO") in the event the Company has not consummated a business combination prior to October 14, 2018 from October 14, 2018 to the Extended Date (the "Trust Amendment Proposal") and (iii) a proposal to adjourn the extraordinary general 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 extraordinary general meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal (the "Adjournment Proposal").

        Each of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement.

        The purpose of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and, if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal, is to allow the Company more time to complete its proposed business combination (the "Organogenesis Transaction") pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 17, 2018 (as it may be amended, the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Company, Avista Healthcare Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub") and Organogenesis Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Organogenesis"). Our IPO prospectus and our Articles provide that the Company has until October 14, 2018 to complete its initial business combination (the "Termination Date"). Our board of directors has determined that it is in the best interests of our shareholders to extend the Termination Date by approving the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal to allow additional time to consummate the Organogenesis Transaction. While we have entered into the Merger Agreement with Merger Sub and Organogenesis and intend to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form S-4 including the joint proxy/consent solicitation statement/prospectus forming a part thereof (the "Registration Statement") in respect of the Organogenesis Transaction promptly, our board currently believes that there may not be sufficient time before the Termination Date to hold an extraordinary general meeting at which to conduct a vote for shareholder approval of the Organogenesis Transaction and consummate the closing of the Organogenesis Transaction. Accordingly, our board of directors believes that in order to be able to consummate the Organogenesis Transaction, we will needask our stockholders to:

re-elect as our directors Alan A. Ades, Robert Ades, Michael J. Driscoll, Prathyusha Duraibabu, David Erani, Jon Giacomin, Gary S. Gillheeney, Sr., Arthur S. Leibowitz, Glenn H. Nussdorf, [●] and [●], each to obtain the Extension.

        As previously reported, on August 21, 2017, the Company entered into a transaction agreement by and among the Company, Merger Sub, Avista Healthcare NewCo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("NewCo"), Envigo International Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Envigo") and Jermyn Street Associates, LLC, solely in its capacity as Shareholder Representative (as defined therein), as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1, dated as of November 22, 2017, as further amended by that certain Amendment No. 2, dated as


of December 22, 2017, as further amended by that certain Amendment No. 3, dated as of January 21, 2018 and as further amended by that certain Amendment No. 4, dated as of February 9, 2018 (the "Transaction Agreement"). On February 14, 2018, pursuant to Section 7.1(a) of the Transaction Agreement, the Company and Envigo entered into a Mutual Termination Agreement (the "Mutual Termination Agreement") and the Transaction Agreement was terminated effective as of February 14, 2018.

        The holders of AHPAC's Class A ordinary shares issued in the Company's IPO (the "public shares") who vote either for or against the Extension Amendment Proposal may elect to redeem their public shares in exchange for their pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account established at the time of the IPO (the "trust account") if the Extension is implemented (the "Redemption"). For illustrative purposes, based on the fair market value of marketable securities held in the trust account of approximately $315,299,762 as of August 15, 2018, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.17. The Company estimates that the per share pro rata portion of the trust account will be approximately $[    ·    ] at the time of the extraordinary general meeting. The closing price of the public shares on [    ·    ], 2018 was $[    ·    ]. Accordingly, if the market price were to remain the sameserve until the datenext Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are elected and qualified;

approve, on an advisory basis, the extraordinary general meeting, exercising redemption rights would result in a public shareholder receiving approximately $[    ·    ] more[/less] than if the stock was sold in the open market. The Company cannot assure shareholders that they will be ablecompensation paid to sell their public shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above,our named executive officers, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such shareholders wish to sell their shares. The Company believes that such redemption right enables the Company's public shareholders to determine not to sustain their investments for an additional period if the Company does not complete the Organogenesis Transaction in the timeframe contemplated by the terms of its Articles. If the Extension Amendment Proposal and Trust Amendment Proposal are approved by the requisite vote of shareholders, the remaining holders of public shares will retain their right to convert their public shares for their pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account when the Organogenesis Transaction is submitted to shareholders for approval and adoption.

        If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved, and the Organogenesis Transaction is not completed before October 14, 2018, as contemplated by our IPO prospectus and in accordance with our Articles, 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 100% of the issued and outstanding public shares with the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account and (iii) thereafter seek to dissolve and liquidate as described in more detaildisclosed in this proxy statement.statement;

 

approve, on an advisory basis, the frequency of holding an advisory vote on the compensation paid to our named executive officers;

approve an amendment to our certificate of incorporation (“Charter”) to remove a provision that states that directors may only be removed for cause;

approve an amendment to our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of Class A special resolution, beingcommon stock reserved for issuance thereunder by [●] shares;

ratify the affirmativeappointment of RSM US LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2022; and

consider any other business properly presented at the meeting.

You may vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the public shares and the Company's Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Class B ordinary shares" and, together with the public shares, the "Ordinary Shares") representedon these matters in person or(virtually), by proxy and entitledor via the internet or telephone. We have elected to vote thereon athold our annual meeting via remote communication again this year. You may attend the extraordinary generalvirtual annual meeting (voting together as a single class) will be required to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal. The affirmative vote of holders of sixty five percent (65%) of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares will be required to approve the Trust Amendment Proposal.

        The approval of both the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are 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 either amendment unless our shareholders approve both the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal. This means that if one proposal is approved by the shareholders and the other proposal is not, neither proposal will take effect. Notwithstanding shareholder approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, our board will retain the right to abandon and not implement the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal at any time without any further action by our shareholders.


        Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the Ordinary Shares represented in person or by proxy at the extraordinary general meeting. The Adjournment Proposal will only be put forth for a vote if the Extension Amendment Proposal and Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved at the extraordinary general meeting.

        The Company's board of directors has fixed the close of business on [    ·    ], 2018 (the "Record Date") as the date for determining the Company's shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote your shares during the meeting by visiting our annual meeting website at the extraordinary general meeting and any adjournment thereof. Only holders of record of Ordinary Shares on that date are entitled to have their votes counted at the extraordinary general meeting or any adjournment thereof.

        After careful consideration of all relevant factors, the Company's board of directors has determined that the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, has declared it advisable and recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote"FOR" such proposals.

NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

TO BE HELD [    ·    ], 2018

PROXY STATEMENT

        Avista Healthcare Public Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Island exempted company ("AHPAC," the "Company," "we," "us" or "our"), is providing this proxy statement in connection with the solicitation by the Board control number. A list of proxies to be voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on [    ·    ], 2018, at [    ·    ] Eastern Time at the offices of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, located at 767 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10153 (the "extraordinary general meeting").

        At the extraordinary general meeting, proposals (i) to amend the Company's amended and restated articles of association (the "Articles") to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination (the "Extension") from October 14, 2018 to February 15, 2019 (the "Extended Date") (the "Extension Amendment Proposal"), (ii) to amend the Company's Investment Management Trust Agreement (the "Trust Agreement"), datedour registered holders as of October 10, 2016, by and between AHPAC and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the "trustee"), to extend the date on which to commence liquidating the trust account ("trust account") established in connection with the Company's initial public offering ("IPO") in the event the Company has not consummated aclose of business combination prior to October 14, 2018 from October 14, 2018 to the Extended Date (the "Trust Amendment Proposal") and (iii) a proposal to adjourn the extraordinary general 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 extraordinary general meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal (the "Adjournment Proposal"), will be considered and voted upon.

        The purpose of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and, if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal, is to allow the Company more time to complete its proposed business combination (the "Organogenesis Transaction") pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 17, 2018 (as it may be amended, the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Company, Avista Healthcare Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Merger Sub") and Organogenesis Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Organogenesis") which contemplates the domestication of AHPAC as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Cayman Islands Companies Law (2018 Revision) (the "domestication"), the merger of Merger Sub with and into Organogenesis, with Organogenesis surviving the merger as a wholly owned direct subsidiary of AHPAC (the "merger") and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Our IPO prospectus and our Articles provide that the Company has until October 14, 2018 to complete its initial business combination (the "Termination Date"). Our board of directors has determined that it is in the best interests of our shareholders to extend the Termination Date by approving the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal. While we have entered into the Merger Agreement with Merger Sub and Organogenesis and intend to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form S-4 including the joint proxy/consent solicitation statement/prospectus forming a part thereof (the "Registration Statement") in respect of the Organogenesis Transaction promptly, our board currently believes that there may not be sufficient time before the Termination Date to hold an extraordinary general meeting at which to conduct a vote for shareholder approval of the Organogenesis Transaction and consummate the closing of the


Organogenesis Transaction. Accordingly, our board of directors believes that in order to be able to consummate the Organogenesis Transaction, we will need to obtain the Extension.

        As previously reported, on August 21, 2017, the Company entered into a transaction agreement by and among the Company, Merger Sub, Avista Healthcare NewCo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("NewCo"), Envigo International Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Envigo") and Jermyn Street Associates, LLC, solely in its capacity as Shareholder Representative (as defined therein), as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1, dated as of November 22, 2017, as further amended by that certain Amendment No. 2, dated as of December 22, 2017, as further amended by that certain Amendment No. 3, dated as of January 21, 2018 and as further amended by that certain Amendment No. 4, dated as of February 9, 2018 (the "Transaction Agreement"). On February 14, 2018, pursuant to Section 7.1(a) of the Transaction Agreement, the Company and Envigo entered into a Mutual Termination Agreement (the "Mutual Termination Agreement") and the Transaction Agreement was terminated effective as of February 14, 2018.

        The holders of AHPAC's Class A ordinary shares issued in the Company's IPO (the "public shares") who vote either for or against the Extension Amendment Proposal may elect to redeem their public shares in exchange for their pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account established at the time of the IPO (the "trust account") if the Extension is implemented (the "Redemption"). For illustrative purposes, based on the fair market value of marketable securities held in the trust account of approximately $315,299,762 as of August 15, 2018, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.17. The Company estimates that the per share pro rata portion of the trust account will be approximately $[    ·    ] at the time of the extraordinary general meeting. The closing price of the public shares on [    ·    ], 2018 was $[    ·    ]. Accordingly, if the market price were to remain the same until therecord date of the extraordinary general meeting, exercising redemption rights would result in a public shareholder receiving approximately $[    ·    ] more[/less] than if he sold his stock in the open market. The Company cannot assure shareholders that they will be able to sell their public shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price state above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such shareholders wish to sell their shares. The Company believes that such redemption right enables the Company's public shareholders to determine not to sustain their investments for an additional period if the Company does not complete the Organogenesis Transaction in the timeframe contemplated by the terms of its Articles. If the Extension Amendment Proposal and Trust Amendment Proposal are approved by the requisite vote of shareholders, the remaining holders of public shares will retain their right to convert their public shares for their pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account when the Organogenesis Transaction is submitted to shareholders.

        Approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are conditions to the implementation of the Extension.

        If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the amount remaining in the trust account may be only a small fraction of the approximately $[    ·    ] million that was in the trust account as of [    ·    ], 2018 (the "Record Date") following the Redemption. Concurrently with the signing of the Merger Agreement, AHPAC entered into a subscription agreement with Avista Capital Partners IV, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and Avista Capital Partners IV (Offshore), L.P., a limited partnership formed under the laws of Bermuda (collectively, the "PIPE Investor") for the purchase and sale of 9,022,741 shares of Class A Common Stock of AHPAC after the domestication and 4,100,000 warrants to purchase one-half of one share of Class A Common Stock of AHPAC after the domestication, for an aggregate purchase price of $46,000,000, immediately following the domestication, through a private placement offered to a limited number of accredited investors (as defined by Rule 501 of Regulation D) pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "private placement"). Due to the private placement, the


Company believes there will be sufficient funds available to complete the Organogenesis Transaction, if all other conditions to the consummation of the Organogenesis Transaction are satisfied.

        If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved at the extraordinary general meeting or at any adjournment thereof, and the Organogenesis Transaction is not completed before October 14, 2018, as contemplated by our IPO prospectus and in accordance with our Articles, 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 account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders' rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board of Directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

        The Company's shareholders prior to the IPO (the "initial shareholders") have waived their rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to the 7,750,000 shares acquired by them prior to the IPO ("founder shares"). As a consequence of such waivers, a liquidating distribution will be made only with respectavailable to stockholders during the public shares. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to the Company's warrants, which will expire worthless in the event the Company dissolves and liquidates the trust account.meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ORGO2022.

        If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the Company will (i) remove from the trust account an amount (the "Withdrawal Amount") equal to the pro rata portionOnly stockholders of funds available in the trust account relating to the redeemed public shares and (ii) deliver to the holders of such redeemed public shares their pro rata portion of the Withdrawal Amount. The remainder of such funds shall remain in the trust account and be available for use by the Company to complete the Organogenesis Transaction on or before the Extended Date. The remaining holders of public shares will retain their right to convert their public shares for their pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account when the Organogenesis Transaction is submitted to shareholders.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
TABLE OF CONTENTS

 These Questions and Answers are only summaries of the matters they discuss. They do not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read carefully the entire document, including the annexes to this proxy statement.

Q.Why am I receiving this proxy statement?A. The Company is a blank check company formed in the Cayman Islands in 2015 for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. In October 2016, the Company consummated its IPO from which it derived gross proceeds of $310,000,000. Like most blank check companies, our Articles provide for the return of the IPO proceeds held in trust to the holders of public shares sold in the IPO if there is no qualifying business combination(s) consummated on or before a certain date (in our case, October 14, 2018). The board of directors believes that it is in the best interests of the shareholders to continue the Company's existence until the Extended Date in order to allow the Company more time to complete the Organogenesis Transaction and is therefore holding this extraordinary general meeting.

Q.


What is being voted on?


A. You are being asked to vote on (i) a proposal to amend the Company's Articles to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination to the Extended Date (the "Extension Amendment Proposal"), (ii) a proposal to amend the Trust Agreement to extend the date on which to commence liquidating the trust account established in connection with the Company's IPO in the event the Company has not consummated a business combination, to the Extended Date (the "Trust Amendment Proposal") and (iii) a proposal to adjourn the extraordinary general 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 extraordinary general meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal (the "Adjournment Proposal").

Approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are conditions to the implementation of the Extension.

If the Extension is implemented, the Company will remove the Withdrawal Amount from the trust account, deliver to the holders of redeemed public shares the pro rata portion of the Withdrawal Amount and retain the remainder of the funds in the trust account for the Company's use in connection with consummating a business combination on or before the Extended Date.

Meetings of the Withdrawal Amount from the trust account will reduce the Company's net asset value. The Company cannot predict the amount that will remain in the trust account following the Redemption if the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, and the amount remaining in the trust account may be only a small fractionBoard of the approximately $[·] million that was in the trust account as of the Record Date. In such event, the Company may need to obtain additional funds to complete its business combination and there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on terms acceptable to the parties or at all. However, due to the private placement, the Company believes that the funds to complete the Organogenesis Transaction will be readily available if all other conditions to the consummation of the Organogenesis Transaction are satisfied.Directors

the re-election of Alan A. Ades, Robert Ades, Michael J. Driscoll, Prathyusha Duraibabu, David Erani, Jon Giacomin, Gary S. Gillheeney, Sr., Arthur S. Leibowitz, Glenn H. Nussdorf, [●] and [●], each to serve until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are elected and qualified;

the ratification of the appointment of RSM US LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending on December 31, 2022.

Our board of directors does not intend to present to the annual meeting any business other than the proposals described in this proxy statement. Our board of directors was not aware, as of a reasonable time before making this proxy statement available to our stockholders, of any other business that properly may be presented for action at the annual meeting. If any other business should come before the annual meeting, the persons present will have discretionary authority to vote the shares they own or represent by proxy in accordance with their judgment, to the extent authorized by applicable regulations.

This Proxy Solicitation

This proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card are being furnished because our board of directors is soliciting your proxy to vote at the annual meeting (including any adjournment or postponement of the meeting).

This proxy statement summarizes information about the proposals to be considered at the meeting and other information you may find useful in determining how to vote.

The proxy card is the means by which you actually authorize another person to vote your shares at the meeting in accordance with your instructions.

We will pay the cost of soliciting proxies. Our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means. We will reimburse brokers and other nominee holders of shares for expenses they incur in forwarding proxy materials to the beneficial owners of those shares. We do not plan to retain the services of a proxy solicitation firm to assist us in this solicitation.

This proxy statement and our fiscal year 2021 Annual Report to Stockholders are also available for viewing, printing and downloading at the “Investors – SEC Filings” section of our website, www.organogenesis.com, and at www.proxyvote.com.

Who May Vote

Holders of record of our Class A common stock at the close of business on April 25, 2022 are entitled to one vote per share of Class A common stock on each proposal properly brought before the annual meeting.

A list of our registered holders as of the close of business on the record date will be made available to stockholders during the meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ORGO2022. In addition, you may contact our Vice President and General Counsel, Lori Freedman, at our offices located at 85 Dan Road, Canton, MA 02021, to make arrangements to review a copy of the stockholder list at those offices, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on any business day from June 13, 2022 to the time of the annual meeting.

How to Vote

If your shares are registered in your name, you may vote online while virtually attending the annual meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ORGO2022 or by proxy without attending the meeting. Registered stockholders may also vote by telephone or on the internet prior to the meeting by following the instructions included with your proxy card mailed to you on or about May 10, 2022. In addition, if you received a printed proxy card, you may mark, sign, date and mail the proxy card you received in the postage-paid return envelope. If you vote in accordance with any of the available methods, your shares will be voted at the meeting pursuant to your instructions. If you sign and return the proxy card or vote by telephone or on the internet but do not provide voting instructions on some or all of the proposals, your shares will be voted by the persons named in the proxy card on all uninstructed proposals in accordance with the recommendations of the board of directors given below.

Shares Held by Brokers or Nominees

If your shares are held in “street name” by a broker, bank or other nominee, that person, as the record holder of your shares, is required to vote your shares according to your instructions. Your bank, broker or other nominee will send you directions on how to vote those shares, which may include the ability to instruct the voting of your shares by telephone or on the internet prior to the meeting.

If your shares are registered in your name or, in certain instances, if your shares are held by a broker, bank or other nominee and you wish to vote online while virtually attending the meeting, you will need to access the live audio webcast of the meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ORGO2022 and follow the instructions for stockholder voting.

Under stock exchange rules applicable to most brokerage firms, if you do not give instructions to your broker, it is permitted to vote any shares it holds for your account in its discretion with respect to “routine” proposals, but it is not allowed to vote your shares with respect to certain non-routine proposals. Proposal 1, regarding the election of directors, Proposal 2, regarding the approval of compensation of the named executive officers, Proposal 3, regarding the approval of the frequency of holding an advisory vote on the compensation paid to our named executive officers, Proposal 4, regarding the approval of an amendment to our Charter and Proposal 5, regarding an amendment to the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, are all “non-routine” proposals. If you do not instruct your broker how to vote with respect to such proposals, your broker will not vote on such proposals and your shares will be recorded as “broker non-votes” and will not affect the outcome of the vote on such proposals. “Broker non-votes” are shares that are held in “street name” by a bank or brokerage firm that indicates on its proxy that, while voting in its discretion on one matter, it does not have or did not exercise discretionary authority to vote on another matter.

Proposal 6, the ratification of RSM US LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, is considered to be a routine item under the applicable rules and your broker will be able to vote on that item even if it does not receive instructions from you, so long as it holds your shares in its name.

If a broker or nominee holds shares of our Class A common stock in “street name” for your account, then this proxy statement may have been forwarded to you with a voting instruction card, which allows you to instruct the broker or nominee how to vote your shares on the proposals described herein. To vote by proxy or to instruct your broker how to vote, you should follow the directions provided with the voting instruction card. In order to have your vote counted on Proposal 1, Proposal 2, Proposal 3, Proposal 4 and Proposal 5 you must either provide timely voting instructions to your broker or obtain a properly executed proxy from the broker or other record holder of the shares that authorizes you to act on behalf of the record holder with respect to the shares held for your account.

Quorum Required to Transact Business

At the close of business on April 25, 2022, a total of 129,130,599 shares of our Class A common stock were outstanding. Our bylaws require that a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock be represented, in person or by proxy, at the meeting in order to constitute the quorum we need to transact business at the meeting. We will count abstentions and broker non-votes as shares represented at the meeting in determining whether a quorum exists.

Multiple Stockholders Sharing the Same Address

Some banks, brokers and other nominee record holders may be “householding” our proxy statements, annual reports and related materials. “Householding” means that only one copy of these documents may have been sent to multiple stockholders in one household. If you would like to receive your own set of proxy statements, annual reports and related materials, or if you share an address with another stockholder and together both of you would like to receive only a single set of these documents, please contact your bank, broker or other nominee, or Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Inc. by sending such request by mail to Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717 or by calling 1-866-540-7095.

To request a printed copy of the proxy statement, annual report and form of proxy relating to this stockholder meeting or future stockholder meetings, visit www.proxyvote.com, call 1-800-579-1639 or send an email to sendmaterial@proxyvote.com. You must have available the 16-digit control number from the notice described above.

May I change my vote?

If you are a registered stockholder, you may change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted by notifying the Secretary in writing, by returning a signed proxy with a later date, by submitting an electronic proxy as of a later date or by virtually attending the meeting and voting online during the meeting. If your shares are held in “street name,” you must contact your bank, broker or other nominee for instructions on changing your vote.

What vote is required to approve each proposal?

The affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy is required for the election of directors (Proposal 1). Broker non-votes and proxies marked to withhold authority with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be voted with respect to the director indicated. The [eleven] director nominees receiving the highest number of votes will be elected. The affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the votes which all the stockholders are entitled to cast at the annual meeting, voting together as a single class, is required for the approval of an amendment to our Charter (Proposal 4). The compensation of the named executive officers (Proposal 2), the frequency of holding an advisory vote on the compensation paid to our named executive officers (Proposal 3), the amendment of the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (Proposal 5) and the ratification of the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal 6) will each be approved if each proposal receives a majority of the votes cast. Proposals 2, 3 and 6 are non-binding proposals.

Where is the meeting held?

The annual meeting will be conducted via live audio webcast at: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ORGO2022. You will be able to participate, submit questions and vote your shares electronically. To do so, you will need to visit www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ORGO2022 and use the 16-digit control number provided with the voting instructions.

PROPOSAL 2: ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION PAID TO

OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

We are providing our stockholders with the opportunity to cast an advisory (non-binding) vote on executive compensation, or a “say-on-pay” vote. Under Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we must hold this advisory vote at least once every three years.

The say-on-pay vote is  a non-binding vote on the compensation paid to our named executive officers, as described elsewhere in this proxy statement under the heading “Executive Compensation,” and includes the tabular disclosure regarding such compensation and the accompanying narrative disclosure, all as set forth in this proxy statement. The Executive Compensation section describes our compensation philosophy and objectives, how we determine executive compensation, the elements of total compensation and the actual compensation of our named executive officers identified in that section. The compensation committee and our board of directors believe that the policies and practices described in the “Executive Compensation” section of this proxy statement are effective in implementing our compensation philosophy and objectives and that the compensation of our named executive officers for 2021 reflects and supports those policies and practices.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast at the meeting is required for approval of the advisory resolution to approve the compensation of our named executive officers. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the voting outcome. The say-on-pay vote is not binding on the compensation committee or our board of directors. However, the compensation committee and our board of directors will take into account the result of the vote when determining future executive compensation arrangements.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AS DESCRIBED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

PROPOSAL 3: ADVISORY VOTE ON APPROVAL OF THE FREQUENCY OF HOLDING AN ADVISORY VOTE ON THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

We are seeking your input with regard to the frequency of holding future stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers. Based on the “say-on-frequency” votes of other companies in our industry, we believe an annual “say-on-pay” vote best meets the expectations of our stockholders. Therefore, we are recommending that future “say-on-pay” votes be conducted on an annual basis.

The proxy card provides stockholders with the opportunity to choose among three options for holding the advisory vote in future proxy statements:

Every year,

Every two years, or

Every three years.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares voted for this proposal will be the frequency approved, on an advisory basis, by our stockholders. However, because the vote on the frequency of holding future advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers is not binding, if none of the frequency options receives a majority vote, the option receiving the greatest number of votes will be considered the frequency preferred by our stockholders. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the voting outcome.

We understand that our stockholders may have different views as to what is the best approach for Organogenesis and we look forward to hearing from our stockholders on this proposal.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “EVERY YEAR” FOR THE FREQUENCY OF HOLDING AN ADVISORY VOTE ON THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.

PROPOSAL 4: TO APPROVE AN AMENDMENT OF OUR CHARTER TO REMOVE A PROVISION THAT STATES THAT DIRECTORS MAY ONLY BE REMOVED FOR CAUSE

As part of our governance review, we reviewed our Charter to confirm that the provisions therein are consistent with the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) and to determine if any changes are necessary. In connection with such review, we determined that it was necessary to clarify the procedures by which a director may be removed by a stockholder vote. Our Charter currently states that, subject to the terms of any one or more series or classes of Preferred Stock, a director may be removed by the stockholders only for cause. Section 141(k) of the DGCL entitles stockholders of a Delaware corporation to remove any director or the entire board of directors by a vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast. Our board of directors deemed it necessary to amend Article V, Section 5.3 of our Charter to make it consistent with Section 141(k) of the DGCL. On April 29, 2022, our board of directors duly adopted resolutions setting forth the proposed amendment to our Charter, declaring said amendment to be advisable, and submitting said amendment to our stockholders for consideration thereof. A copy of the proposed amendment to our Charter is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A.

The following chart reflects the current Article V, Section 5.3 and the proposed revised version:

Prior Charter ProvisionSection 5.3 Removal of Directors. Subject to the terms of any one or more series or classes of Preferred Stock, any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of public shares sold in the IPO if there is no qualifying business combination(s) consummated on or before October 14, 2018. As we explain below, the Company may not be able to completeat least a business combination by that date.

As previously disclosed, on August 21, 2017, the Company entered into the Transaction Agreement by and among the Company, Merger Sub, NewCo, Envigo and the Shareholder Representative. On February 14, 2018, the Company and Envigo entered into a Mutual Termination Agreement and the Transaction Agreement was terminated effective as of February 14, 2018.

On August 17, 2018, the Company, Merger Sub, and Organogenesis, entered into the Merger Agreement in respectmajority of the Organogenesis Transaction. Pursuantvotes which all the stockholders would be entitled to cast in any annual election of directors, voting together as a single class. For purposes of this Section 5.3, “cause” shall mean, with respect to any director, (i) the willful failure by such director to perform, or the gross negligence of such director in performing, the duties of a director, (ii) the engaging by such director in willful or serious misconduct that is injurious to the Merger Agreement, among other things, (i)Corporation or (iii) the Company will transferconviction of such director of, or the entering by waysuch director of continuation outa plea of the Cayman Islands into the State of Delaware or domesticate as nolo contendere to, a Delaware corporation in accordance with crime that constitutes a felony.
New Charter ProvisionSection 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended and the Cayman Islands Companies Law (2018 Revision); (ii) Merger Sub will merge with and into Organogenesis, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and Organogenesis will be the surviving corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

While we have entered into the Merger Agreement with Merger Sub and Organogenesis and intend to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") the Registration Statement in respect of the Organogenesis Transaction promptly, our board currently believes that there may not be sufficient time before the Termination Date to hold an extraordinary general meeting at which to conduct a vote for shareholder approval of the Organogenesis Transaction and consummate the closing of the Organogenesis Transaction. Accordingly, our board of directors believes that in order to be able to consummate the Organogenesis Transaction, we will need to obtain the Extension.

The purpose of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and, if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal, is to allow the Company more time to complete the Organogenesis Transaction pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
5.3 [Reserved].

By removing existing Section 5.3, the Charter will revert to the default provision provided by Section 141(k) of the DGCL.

Required Vote

Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting. For purposes of the vote on this proposal, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of a vote against this proposal.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE CHARTER AMENDMENT.


PROPOSAL 5: TO APPROVE AMENDMENT TO THE 2018 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SHARES RESERVED FOR ISSUANCE THEREUNDER

We are asking stockholders to approve an amendment to our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, referred to as the 2018 Plan, to increase the number of shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance under the plan by [●] shares. The 2018 Plan is an important part of our compensation program and we believe it is essential to our ability to attract and retain highly qualified employees in an extremely competitive environment in which employees view equity incentives as an important component of their compensation.

The closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on April 28, 2022 was $[●] per share. The material terms of the 2018 Plan and a more detailed description of the proposed amendment are set forth below.

General Description of 2018 Plan

The purpose of the 2018 Plan is to (i) provide long-term incentives and rewards to those employees, officers, directors and other key persons (including consultants) of the Company and its subsidiaries who are in a position to contribute to the long-term success and growth of the Company and its subsidiaries, (ii) to assist the Company and its subsidiaries in attracting and retaining persons with the requisite experience and ability, and (iii) to more closely align the interests of such employees, officers, directors and other key persons with the interests of the Company’s stockholders. The 2018 Plan permits us to grant cash and equity-based awards to our employees, officers, directors and key persons (including consultants and prospective employees), including incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, unrestricted stock awards, performance share awards and dividend equivalent rights. To date, we have granted incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options and restricted stock units under the 2018 Plan. As of March 31, 2022, 963 employees were eligible to participate in the 2018 Plan. In addition, as of March 31, 2022, 8,726,307 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan, of which 3,856,120 shares are subject to outstanding option awards, 1,496,853 shares are subject to outstanding RSUs and 3,373,334 shares remain available for future awards. Outstanding options have exercise prices ranging from $4.04 to $15.63. The weighted average exercise price of all outstanding options is $8.20 per share. All options granted have a term of ten years. In addition to options, 2,115,718 restricted stock units, or RSUs, have been issued, of which 428,019 shares have vested and 190,846 shares have been cancelled.

The Board of Directors has discretion with respect to the amount of any awards granted under the 2018 Plan and, therefore, total awards that may be granted during a fiscal year to our employees, including our executive officers, are not determinable until completion of the year. Each of our independent directors is awarded restricted stock units each year. These awards typically vest in full on or about the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued service by the director. For more information, see “Director Compensation” below.

The following table sets forth shares underlying awards granted under the 2018 Plan through March 31, 2022:

Options and
Awards
 Notwithstanding that the Company is requesting shareholders to approve an extension of time to complete an initial business combination through the Extended Date, if the Company is unable to consummate the Organogenesis Transaction, or another business combination, by the Extended Date, it will promptly file the necessary proxy materials with the SEC to seek shareholder approval to dissolve and liquidate or to have holders agree to a further extension of time to complete an initial business combination.

Current executive officers:





The Company believes that given the Company's expenditure of time, effort and money on the Organogenesis Transaction, circumstances warrant providing public shareholders an opportunity to consider the Organogenesis Transaction. Accordingly, the Company's board of directors is proposing the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal to extend the Company's corporate existence until the Extended Date.





You are not being asked to vote on the Organogenesis Transaction at this time. If the Extension is implemented and you do not elect to redeem your public shares at this time, you will retain the right to vote on the Organogenesis Transaction, and any other proposed business combination, when and if one is submitted to shareholders and the right to redeem your public shares in exchange for the right to receive a pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account in the event a proposed business combination is approved and completed or the Company has not consummated a business combination by the Extended Date.

Q.


Why should I vote "FOR" the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal?


A. The Company's board of directors believes shareholders will benefit from the Company consummating the Organogenesis Transaction and is proposing the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal to extend the date by which the Company has to complete a business combination until the Extended Date and to allow for the Redemption. The Extension would give the Company additional time to hold a shareholder vote for the approval of the Organogenesis Transaction and to complete the Organogenesis Transaction. In addition, approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Trust Amendment Proposal and approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Extension Amendment Proposal.

Q.


How do the Company's insiders intend to vote their shares?


A. All of the Company's directors, executive 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, the Trust Amendment Proposal and, if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal.

Gary S. Gillheeney, Sr., President and Chief Executive Officer

   2,060,669The Company's directors, executive officers and their respective affiliates are not entitled to redeem any shares in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal. On the Record Date, the Company's directors, executive officers and their affiliates beneficially owned and were entitled to vote [·] founder shares, representing approximately [·]% of the Company's issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, and representing approximately [·]% of the Company's issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. [The Company's directors, executive officers and their affiliates did not beneficially own any public shares as of such date.]





The Company's directors, executive officers and their affiliates may choose to buy public shares in the open market and/or through negotiated private 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 and/or elected to redeem their shares. Any public shares held by or subsequently purchased prior to the Record Date by affiliates of the Company will be voted in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and, if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal.

Q.


What vote is required to adopt the Extension Amendment Proposal?


A. Approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal will require a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the Ordinary Shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the extraordinary general meeting. Approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Trust Amendment Proposal.

Q.


What vote is required to adopt the Trust Amendment Proposal?


A. Approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal will require the affirmative vote of holders of sixty five percent (65%) of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. Approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Extension Amendment Proposal.

Q.


What vote is required to adopt the Adjournment Proposal?


A. Approval of the Adjournment Proposal will require the affirmative vote of the majority of the Ordinary Shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the extraordinary general meeting.

Q.


What if I don't want to vote for the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal?


A. If you do not want the Extension Amendment Proposal to be approved, you may abstain, not vote, or vote against the proposal.

If you fail to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the extraordinary general meeting, your shares will not be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established, however, if a valid quorum is otherwise established, such failure to vote will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Extension Amendment Proposal.

David C. Francisco, Chief Financial Officer

   279,595If you fail to vote by proxy or to vote in person at the extraordinary general meeting, such failure to vote will affect the outcome of any vote on the Trust Amendment Proposal as it will be the equivalent of a vote against the Trust Amendment Proposal.





If the Extension Amendment Proposal and Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the Adjournment Proposal will not be presented for a vote.

Q.


Will you seek any further extensions to liquidate the trust account?


A. Other than as described in this proxy statement, the Company does not currently anticipate seeking any further extension to consummate a business combination.

Q.


What happens if the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved?


A. If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved at the extraordinary general meeting, the Company will put the Adjournment Proposal to a vote in order to seek additional time to obtain sufficient votes in support of the Extension.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved at the extraordinary general meeting or at any adjournment thereof, and the Organogenesis Transaction is not consummated by October 14, 2018, 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 account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders' rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board of Directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The Company's initial shareholders waived their rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to their founder shares. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to our warrants which will expire worthless in the event the Company dissolves and liquidates the trust account. The Company will pay the costs of liquidation from its remaining assets outside of the trust account.

Q.If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, what happens next?A. If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the Company will continue to attempt to consummate an initial business combination until the Extended Date. The Company will file an amendment to its Articles with the Cayman Islands in substantially the form that appears in Annex A hereto and will continue its efforts to obtain approval of the Organogenesis Transaction at an extraordinary general meeting and consummate the closing of the Organogenesis Transaction prior to the Extended Date.





The Company will remain a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and its units, public shares and warrants will remain publicly traded.





If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the trust account will reduce the amount remaining in the trust account and increase the percentage interest of the Company held by the Company's officers, directors, initial shareholders and their affiliates.

Q.


Would I still be able to exercise my redemption rights if I vote against the Organogenesis Transaction or any subsequently proposed business combination?


A. Unless you elect to redeem all of your shares in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, you will be able to vote on the Organogenesis Transaction when and if it is submitted to shareholders. Additionally, you will retain your right to redeem your public shares upon consummation of the Organogenesis Transaction, or any other subsequently proposed business combination in connection with the shareholder vote to approve such business combination, subject to any limitations set forth in the Articles.

Q.


How do I change my vote?


A. If you have submitted a proxy to vote your shares and wish to change your vote, you may do so by delivering a later-dated, signed proxy card to the Company's secretary prior to the date of the extraordinary general meeting or by voting in person at the extraordinary general meeting. Attendance at the extraordinary general meeting alone will not change your vote. You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to the Company located at 65 East 55th Street, 18th Floor, New York, New York 10022, Attn: Corporate Secretary.

Q.


How are votes counted?


A. Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the extraordinary general meeting, who will separately count "FOR" and "AGAINST" votes, abstentions and broker non-votes.

Patrick Bilbo, Chief Operating Officer

   530,006With respect to the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as "AGAINST" votes, but will have no effect on the Adjournment Proposal. If your shares are held by your broker as your nominee (that is, in "street name"), 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 to vote your shares. If you do not give instructions to your broker, your broker can vote your shares with respect to "discretionary" items, but not with respect to "non-discretionary" items. Discretionary items are proposals considered routine under the rules of Nasdaq applicable to member brokerage firms. These rules provide that for routine matters your broker has the discretion to vote shares held in street name in the absence of your voting instructions. On non-discretionary items for which you do not give your broker instructions, the shares will be treated as broker non-votes.

Q.


If my shares are held in "street name,"will my broker automatically vote them for me?


A. No. Your broker can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares. Your broker can tell you how to provide these instructions.

Q.


What is a quorum requirement?


A. A quorum of shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A majority of the issued

Lori Freedman, Vice President and outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote as of the Record Date at the extraordinary general meeting must be present, in person or represented by proxy, at the extraordinary general meeting to constitute a quorum and in order to conduct business at the extraordinary general meeting.






Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you vote in person at the extraordinary general meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. If there is no quorum, a majority of the votes present at the extraordinary general meeting may adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to another date.

Q.


Who can vote at the extraordinary general meeting?


A. Only holders of record of the Ordinary Shares at the close of business on [·], 2018 are entitled to have their vote counted at the extraordinary general meeting and any adjournments thereof. On the Record Date, [·] Ordinary Shares were issued and outstanding and entitled to vote.

General Counsel

   421,559Shareholder of Record:    Shares Registered in Your Name. If on the Record Date your shares were registered directly in your name with the Company's transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the "Transfer Agent"), then you are a shareholder of record. As a shareholder of record, you may vote in person at the extraordinary general meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the extraordinary general meeting in person, we urge you to fill out and return the enclosed proxy card to ensure your vote is counted.





Beneficial Owner:    Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank. If on the Record Date your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer, or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in "street name" and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the extraordinary general meeting. However, since you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the extraordinary general meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other agent.

Q.


Does the board recommend voting "FOR" the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal?


A. Yes. After careful consideration of the terms and conditions of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, the board of directors of the Company has determined that the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Q.


What interests do the Company's directors and officers have in the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal?


A. The Company's directors and officers have interests in the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. These interests include ownership of founder shares and warrants that may become exercisable in the future and loans by them that will not be repaid in the event of our winding up. See the section entitled "The Extraordinary General Meeting—Interests of the Company's Directors and Officers."

Q.


What if I object to the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal? Do I have appraisal rights?


A. Company shareholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal under Cayman Law.

Q.What happens to the Company's warrants if the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved?A. If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved at the extraordinary general meeting, or any adjournment thereof, and the Organogenesis Transaction is not consummated by October 14, 2018, 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 account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders' rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board of Directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Q.


What happens to the Company's warrants if the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved?


A. If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the Company will continue to attempt to consummate a business combination until the Extended Date. The warrants will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms. The warrants will become exercisable commencing 30 days after the consummation of any business combination on or prior to the Extended Date.

Q.


What do I need to do now?


A. The Company urges you to read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement, including the annexes, and to consider how the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal will affect you as a Company shareholder. You should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement and on the enclosed proxy card.

Q.


How do I vote?


A. If you are a holder of record of Ordinary Shares, you may vote in person at the extraordinary general meeting or by submitting a proxy for the extraordinary general meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the extraordinary general meeting in person, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope. You may still attend the extraordinary general meeting and vote in person if you have already voted by proxy.

Brian Grow, Chief Commercial Officer

   492,027If your Ordinary Shares are held in "street name" by a broker or other agent, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the extraordinary general meeting. However, since you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the extraordinary general meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other agent.

Q.


How do I redeem my public shares?


A. If the Extension is implemented, each public shareholder may seek to redeem their public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account, including interest, less income taxes payable.





In connection with tendering your shares for redemption, prior to 5:00 PM Eastern time on [·], 2018 (two business days before the extraordinary general meeting), you must elect either to physically tender your stock certificates to the Transfer Agent, at Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 1 State Street—30th Floor, New York, New York 10004, Attn: Mark Zimkind, mzimkind@continentalstock.com, or to deliver your shares to the transfer agent 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 PM Eastern time on [·], 2018 (two business days before the extraordinary general meeting) ensures that a redeeming holder's election is irrevocable once the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved. In furtherance of such irrevocable election, shareholders making the election will not be able to tender their shares after the vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

Q.


What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?


A. You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards, if your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. 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. 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 shares.

THE EXTENSION AMENDMENT PROPOSAL

The Extension Amendment Proposal

        The Company is proposing to amend its Articles to extendWe have one equity compensation plan under which awards are currently authorized for issuance, the date by which2018 Plan. In connection with the Company has to consummate aconsummation of the business combination to the Extended Date so as to give the Company more time to complete an initial business combination. A copy of the proposed amendment to the Articles of the Company is attached to the proxy statement asAnnex A.

        The Organogenesis Transaction qualifies as a "business combination" under the Company's Articles, but the Company believes that there may not be sufficient time before the Termination Date to hold an extraordinary general meeting at which to conduct a vote for shareholder approval of the Organogenesis Transaction and consummate the closing of the Organogenesis Transaction. Accordingly,in December 2018, our board of directors believes that in order to be able to consummatediscontinued any new issuances under the Organogenesis Transaction, weInc. 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, or 2003 Plan. If options outstanding under the 2003 Plan expire unexercised, they will neednot become available for future issuance. Both the 2018 Plan and the 2003 Plan were approved by our stockholders. The following table provides information regarding securities authorized for issuance as of March 31, 2022 under our equity compensation plans.

Administration and Eligibility

Awards are made by the Board of Directors, typically after recommendations by our Compensation Committee. Subject to obtaincertain limitations, the Extension. The Company believes that given the Company's expenditureBoard of time, effort and money on the Organogenesis Transaction, circumstances warrant providing public shareholders an opportunityDirectors may delegate to consider the Organogenesis Transaction.

        All holdersour Chief Executive Officer (so long as our Chief Executive Officer is a member of the Company's public shares, whether they vote forBoard of Directors) or against the Extension Amendment Proposal, are entitled to redeem allone or a portionmore members of their public shares in exchange for their pro rata portion of the trust account, provided that the Extension is implemented. For illustrative purposes, based on the fair market value of marketable securities held in the trust account of approximately $315,299,762 as of August 15, 2018, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.17. The Company estimates that the per share pro rata portion of the trust account will be approximately $[    ·    ] at the time of the extraordinary general meeting. The closing price of the public shares on [    ·    ], 2018 was $[    ·    ]. Accordingly, if the market price were to remain the same until the date of the extraordinary general meeting, exercising redemption rights would result in a public shareholder receiving approximately $[    ·    ] more[/less] than if he sold his stock in the open market. The Company cannot assure shareholders that they will be able to sell their public shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such shareholders wish to sell their shares. The Company believes that such redemption right enables the Company's public shareholders to determine not to sustain their investments for an additional period if the Company does not complete the Organogenesis Transaction in the timeframe contemplated by the terms of its Articles. If the Extension Amendment Proposal and Trust Amendment Proposal are approved by the requisite vote of shareholders, the remaining holders of public shares will retain their right to convert their public shares for their pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account when the Organogenesis Transaction is submitted to shareholders.

Reasons for the Extension Amendment Proposal

        The Company's IPO prospectus and Articles provide that the Company has until October 14, 2018 to complete a business combination. The Company and its officers and directors agreed that it would not seek to amend the Company's Articles to allow for a longer period of time to complete a business combination unless it provided dissenting holders of public shares with the right to seek redemption of their public shares in connection therewith. Because the Company has determined in its reasonable judgment that it may not be able to complete the Organogenesis Transaction, or any other initial business combination, by October 14, 2018, the Company has determined to seek shareholder approval to extend the time for closing a business combination beyond October 14, 2018 to the Extended Date.

        The Extension Amendment Proposal is essential to allowing the Company more time to obtain approval for the Organogenesis Transaction at an extraordinary general meeting and to consummate the closing of the Organogenesis Transaction prior to the Extended Date. Approval of the Extension


Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are conditions to the implementation of the Extension.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal Is Not Approved

        If the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved, we will, unless we complete the Organogenesis Transaction, or another business combination, prior to October 14, 2018: (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 account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable, and less up to $50,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders' rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board of Directors dissolve and liquidate,the power to make awards to participants who are not subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claimsSection 16 of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

        The Company's initial shareholders have waived their rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to their founder shares. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to the Company's warrants which will expire worthless in the event the Company dissolves and liquidates the trust account. The Company will pay the costs of liquidation from its remaining assets outside of the trust account.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is Approved

        If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the Company will file an amendment to the Articles with the Cayman Islands in the form ofAnnex A hereto to extend the time it has to complete a business combination until the Extended Date. The Company will then continue to attempt to consummate a business combination until the Extended Date. The Company will remain a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or “covered employees” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

The Board of Directors administers the 2018 Plan and its units,determines the terms and conditions of each award to our executive officers and directors, including the exercise price, the form of payment of the exercise price, the number of shares subject to the award and the time at which such options become exercisable. The exercise price of any stock option granted under the 2018 Plan may not, however, be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant and warrantsthe term of any such option cannot be greater than 10 years.

Awards

The 2018 Plan provides for the following categories of awards:

Options. Our 2018 Plan permits the granting of options to purchase common stock that are intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” under the Code, and options that do not qualify as incentive stock options, which are referred to as non-statutory stock options. We may grant non-qualified stock options to our employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors in the discretion of our Board of Directors. Incentive stock options will remain publicly traded during this time.only be granted to our employees. The termsexercise price of each incentive stock option may not be less than 100% of the warrantsfair market value of shares of our common stock on the date of grant. If we grant incentive stock options to any person holding 10% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the Company, the exercise price may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of shares of our common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of any non-qualified stock option will continuebe determined by our Board of Directors and may not be less than the fair market value of shares of our common stock.

The term of each option may not exceed 10 years from the date of grant, and no option shall be transferable by the optionee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors, in accordanceits sole discretion, may provide in the award agreement regarding a given option, or may agree in writing with respect to an outstanding option, that the optionee may transfer their terms,non-statutory stock options to members of their immediate family, to trusts for the benefit of such family members, or to partnerships in which such family members are the only partners, provided that the transferee agrees in writing with the warrants becomingCompany to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this plan and the applicable option.

In general, an optionee may pay the exercise price of an option by cash or, if so provided in the applicable option agreement, by tendering shares of our common stock, by a “cashless exercise” through a broker supported by an irrevocable instruction to such broker to deliver sufficient funds to pay the applicable exercise price, by reducing the number of shares otherwise issuable to the optionee upon exercise of the option by a number of shares having a fair market value equal to the aggregate exercise price of the options being exercised or by any other method permitted by the Board of Directors.

Stock appreciation rights. Pursuant to the 2018 Plan, we may grant stock appreciation rights, or an award entitling the recipient to receive cash or shares of our common stock having a value on the date of exercise calculated as follows: (i) the exercise price of a share of common stock on the grant date is less the fair market value of the common stock on the date of exercise and (ii) multiplied by the number of shares of stock with respect to which the stock appreciation right shall have been exercised. The exercise price of a stock appreciation right shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, and the terms and conditions of the stock appreciation rights shall be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors.

Restricted stock awards. Pursuant to the 2018 Plan, we may grant restricted stock awards entitling the recipient to acquire, at such a price as determined by the Board of Directors, shares of common stock subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Board of Directors may determine at the time of grant. Conditions may be based on continuing employment or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives. A holder of a restricted stock award may exercise voting rights upon (i) execution of a written instrument setting forth the award and (ii) payment of any applicable purchase.

Restricted stock units. Pursuant to the 2018 Plan, we may grant restricted stock units which entitle the holder, upon vesting of the right, to a number of shares of common stock as determined in the award agreement. The Board of Directors shall determine the restrictions and conditions applicable to each restricted stock unit at the time of grant, and a holder of a restricted stock unit shall only have exercisable rights as a stockholder upon settlement of restricted stock units. Unless otherwise provided in the award agreement, a holder’s rights in all restricted stock units that have not vested shall automatically terminate immediately following the holder’s termination of employment with the Company for any reason.

Unrestricted stock awards. Pursuant to the 2018 Plan, we may grant unrestricted awards of shares of common stock free of any restrictions under the plan. The right to receive shares of unrestricted stock awards on a deferred basis may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

Performance share awards. Pursuant to the 2018 Plan, we may grant performance share awards entitling the recipient to acquire shares of common stock upon the consummationattainment of specified performance goals; provided, however, that the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may provide either at the time of grant or at the time of settlement that a performance share award will be settled in cash. The period during which performance is to be measured for performance share awards shall not be less than one year, and such performance share awards, and all rights with respect to such awards, may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered.

Dividend equivalent rights. Pursuant to the 2018 Plan, we may grant dividend equivalent rights entitling the recipient to receive credits based on cash dividends that would be paid on the shares of stock specified in the dividend equivalent right (or other award to which it relates). Dividend equivalent rights may be settled in cash or shares of stock or a combination thereof, in a single installment or installments. A dividend equivalent right granted as a component of another award may provide that such dividend equivalent right shall be settled upon exercise, settlement, or payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, such other award, and that such dividend equivalent right shall expire or be forfeited or annulled under the same conditions as such other award.

Federal Income Tax Consequences Relating to Equity Awards.

Incentive Stock Options. An optionee does not realize taxable income upon the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option, known as an ISO, under the 2018 Plan. If no disposition of shares issued to an optionee pursuant to the exercise of an ISO is made by the optionee within two years from the date of grant or within one year from the date of exercise, then (a) upon sale of such shares, any business combination on oramount realized in excess of the option price (the amount paid for the shares) is taxed to the optionee as a capital gain and any loss sustained will be a capital loss and (b) no deduction is allowed to Organogenesis for Federal income tax purposes. The exercise of ISOs gives rise to an adjustment in computing alternative minimum taxable income that may result in alternative minimum tax liability for the optionee.

If shares of common stock acquired upon the exercise of an ISO are disposed of prior to the Extended Date.expiration of the two-year and one-year holding periods described above, referred to as a disqualifying disposition, then (a) the optionee realizes ordinary income in the year of disposition in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the fair market value of the shares at exercise (or, if less, the amount realized on a sale of such shares) over the option price thereof and (b) Organogenesis is entitled to deduct this amount. Any further gain realized is taxed as a capital gain and does not result in any deduction to us. A disqualifying disposition in the year of exercise will generally avoid the alternative minimum tax consequences of the exercise of an ISO.

 

You are not being askedNon-statutory Stock Options. No income is realized by the optionee at the time a non-statutory option is granted. Upon exercise, (a) ordinary income is realized by the optionee in an amount equal to vote on any business combination at this time. If the Extension is implemented and you do not elect to redeem your public shares, you will retaindifference between the right to vote on the Organogenesis Transaction, or any other proposed business combination, when and if it is submitted to shareholdersoption price and the right to redeem your public shares into a pro rata portionfair market value of the trust account in the event the Organogenesis Transaction or any other business combination is approved and completed or the Company has not consummated a business combination by the Extended Date.

        If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, and the Extension is implemented, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the trust account will reduce the Company's net asset value. 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 $[    ·    ] million that was in the trust account as of the Record Date.

Redemption Rights

        If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, and the Extension is implemented, each public shareholder may seek to redeem his public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account, less any income taxes owed on such funds but not


yet paid. If you exercise your redemption rights, you will be exchanging your public shares for cash and will no longer own the shares.

TO DEMAND REDEMPTION, YOU MUST CHECK THE BOX ON THE PROXY CARD PROVIDED FOR THAT PURPOSE AND RETURN THE PROXY CARD IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED, 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 AND THE TRUST AMENDMENT.

        In connection with tendering your shares for redemption, prior to 5:00 PM Eastern time on [    ·    ], 2018 (two business days before the extraordinary general meeting), you must elect either to physically tender your stock certificates to the Transfer Agent, at Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 1 State Street—30th Floor, New York, New York 10004, Attn: Mark Zimkind, mzimkind@continentalstock.com, or to deliver your shares to the transfer agent 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 PM Eastern time on [    ·    ], 2018 (two business days before the extraordinary general meeting) ensures that a redeeming holder's election is irrevocable once the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved. In furtherance of such irrevocable election, shareholders making the election will not be able to tender their shares after the vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

        The electronic delivery process through the DWAC system can be accomplished by the shareholder, whether or not it is a record holder or its shares are held in "street name," by contacting the Transfer Agent 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 stock certificate, a shareholder's broker and/or clearing broker, DTC, and the 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. The transfer agent 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 stock 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 stock 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.

        Certificates that have not been tendered in accordance with these procedures prior to the vote for the Extension Amendment Proposal will not be redeemed into a pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account. In the event that a public shareholder tenders its shares and decides prior to the vote at the extraordinary general 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 extraordinary general meeting not to redeem your 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 address listed above. In the event that a public shareholder tenders shares and the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved or is abandoned, these shares will be redeemed in accordance with the terms of the Articles promptly following the extraordinary general meeting as described elsewhere herein. 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 pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account, less any income taxes owed on such funds but not yet paid, calculated as of two days prior to the filing of the amendment to the Articles. As of the Record Date, this would amount to approximately $[    ·    ] per share. The closing price of the public shares on [    ·    ], 2018 was $[    ·    ]. Accordingly, if the market price were to remain the same until the date of exercise and (b) Organogenesis receives a tax deduction for the extraordinary general meeting, exercising redemption rights wouldsame amount. Upon disposition of the shares, appreciation or depreciation after the date of exercise is treated as a capital gain or loss and will not result in a public shareholder receiving approximately $[    ·    ] more[less] than if he sold hisany deduction by Organogenesis.

Restricted Stock. Awards of restricted stock inthat are non-transferable and subject to forfeiture are generally not taxable to the open market.

Required Vote

        The approval of Extension Amendment Proposal requiresrecipient until the affirmative vote of holders of two-thirds ofshares vest. When the Ordinary Shares represented in person or by proxy and entitledshares vest, the recipient realizes compensation income equal to vote thereon at the extraordinary general meeting. All ofdifference between the Company's directors, executive officersamount paid for the shares and their affiliates are expected to vote any Ordinary Shares owned by them in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal. On the Record Date, directors and executive officers of the Company and their affiliates beneficially owned and were entitled to vote [    ·    ] founder shares representing approximately [    ·    ]% of the Company's issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares.

        In addition, the Company's directors, executive officers and their affiliates may choose to buy Ordinary Shares in the openfair market and/or through negotiated private 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 and elected to redeem their shares into a portion of the trust account. Any Ordinary Shares purchased by affiliates will be voted in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal.

Recommendation of the Board

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR SHAREHOLDERS VOTE"FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE EXTENSION
AMENDMENT PROPOSAL



THE TRUST AMENDMENT PROPOSAL

The Trust Amendment Proposal

        The Trust Amendment Proposal would amend our existing Trust Agreement to change the date by which the trustee must commence liquidating the trust, from the 24-month anniversary of the closing of the IPO to the Extended Date, and make any other conforming amendments. The complete text of the proposed amendment is attached to this proxy statement asAnnex B. All shareholders are encouraged to read the proposed amendment in its entirety for a more complete description of its terms.

Reasons for the Trust Amendment Proposal

        The Company's IPO prospectus and Articles provide that the Company has until October 14, 2018 to complete a business combination. The Company and its officers and directors agreed that it would not seek to amend the Company's Articles to allow for a longer period of time to complete a business combination unless it provided dissenting holders of public shares with the right to seek redemption of their public shares in connection therewith. Because the Company has determined in its reasonable judgment that it may not be able to complete the Organogenesis Transaction, or any other initial business combination, by October 14, 2018, the Company has determined to seek shareholder approval to extend the time for closing a business combination beyond October 14, 2018 to the Extended Date.

        The Company is proposing to amend its Trust Agreement to extend the date on which the Trustee must commence liquidating the trust account in the event the Company has not consummated a business combination from October 14, 2018 to the Extended Date.

        The Trust Amendment Proposal is essential to allowing the Company more time to obtain approval for the Organogenesis Transaction at an extraordinary general meeting and consummate the closing of the Organogenesis Transaction prior to the Extended Date. Approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Extension. Approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are conditions to the implementation of the Extension.

        If the Trust Amendment Proposal is not approved and we have not consummated the Organogenesis Transaction, or another business combination, by October 14, 2018, 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 100% of the issued and outstanding public shares with the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account and (iii) thereafter seek to dissolve and liquidate as described in more detail in this proxy statement. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to our warrants which will expire worthless in the event we wind up.

Required Vote

        Approval of the amendment to the Trust Agreement requires the affirmative vote of holders of sixty five percent (65%) of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. All of the Company's directors, executive officers and their affiliates are expected to vote any Ordinary Shares owned by them in favor of the Trust Amendment Proposal. On the Record Date, directors and executive officers of the Company and their affiliates beneficially owned and were entitled to vote [    ·    ] founder shares representing approximately [    ·    ]% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares.

        In addition, the Company's directors, executive officers and their affiliates may choose to buy Ordinary Shares in the open market and/or through negotiated private purchases. In the event that purchases do occur, the purchasers may seek to purchase shares from shareholders who would otherwise have voted against the Trust Amendment Proposal and elected to redeem their shares into a portion of the trust account. Any Ordinary Shares purchased by affiliates prior to the Record Date will be voted in favor of the Trust Amendment Proposal.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT OUR SHAREHOLDERS VOTE"FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE TRUST AMENDMENT PROPOSAL



THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

The Adjournment Proposal

        The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, will allow our board of directors to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation of proxies. The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented to our shareholders in the event, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votesvalue at the time of the extraordinary general meetingvesting, and we are entitled to approvea corresponding deduction. Appreciation in the Extension Amendment Proposal andvalue of the Trust Amendment Proposal.

Consequences ifshares during the Adjournment Proposalvesting period therefore increases the income subject to tax at ordinary income rates at the time of vesting as well as the corresponding deduction we are entitled to take at that time. The tax is Not Approved

payable for the year in which the vesting occurs, regardless of whether the shares are sold at that time. If the Adjournment Proposalrecipient is not approvedan employee, Organogenesis is required to withhold income and social security taxes from the compensation income (by withholding from shares, from other income of the employee or from a cash payment made by our shareholders, our boardthe employee to Organogenesis to cover the withholding taxes).

Instead of directorsbeing taxed when the shares vest, a recipient may notelect to be abletaxed in the year the shares are awarded by filing a “Section 83(b) election” with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days after issuance of the restricted shares. The recipient then realizes compensation income in the year of the award equal to adjourn the extraordinary general meetingdifference between the amount paid for the shares and their fair market value at the time of issuance, and we are entitled to a later date in the event, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votescorresponding deduction at that time.

Unrestricted Stock. Generally, a recipient will be taxed at the time of the extraordinary general meetinggrant of the award. The fair market value of the shares at that time will be treated as ordinary income. We receive a tax deduction for the amount reported as ordinary income to approve the Extension Amendment Proposalrecipient subject to the limitations of Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). Upon disposition of the shares, any appreciation or depreciation after the taxable event is treated as short or long-term capital gain or loss and will not result in any further deduction by us.

Restricted Stock Units. A recipient does not realize taxable income upon the grant or vesting of a restricted stock unit. The recipient must include as ordinary income when an award is settled an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares (or the amount of cash) distributed to settle the award. Subject to the limitations of Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m), we receive a corresponding tax deduction at the time of settlement. If the award is settled in shares, then any subsequent appreciation or depreciation is treated as short or long-term capital gain or loss and will not result in any further deduction by us.

Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). After enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, United States tax law generally does not allow publicly-held companies to obtain tax deductions for compensation of more than $1.0 million paid in any year to any of the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer and the Trust Amendment Proposal.

Required Vote

        Adoptionnext three highest paid executive officers, as well as any officer who was treated as a covered employee under Section 162(m) of the AdjournmentU.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for any year beginning after December 31, 2016 (each, a “covered employee”). As a result, Organogenesis is not entitled to a compensation deduction with respect to awards under the 2018 Plan to a covered employee to the extent the aggregate amount payable results in total compensation in excess of the $1.0 million limit.

Proposed Amendment to the 2018 Plan

On April 29, 2022, our Board of Directors voted, subject to stockholder approval, to amend the 2018 Plan to increase the number of shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan by [●] shares. As of March 31, 2022, this will bring the total shares available for issuance to [●] shares, subject to adjustment for stock-splits and similar capital changes.

Stockholder approval of the [●] share increase is required under applicable Nasdaq Market Rules as well as to ensure that these shares may be treated as incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue Code. This amendment is intended to provide a sufficient number of shares of common stock for anticipated awards to eligible persons through 202[●].

If Proposal requires5 is approved by the requisite stockholders, the Company intends to register the additional shares reserved for issuance under the 2018 Plan by filing a registration statement on Form S-8 following stockholder approval.

New Plan Benefits

The issuance of any awards under the 2018 Plan will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors. Therefore, it is not possible to determine the amount or form of any award that will be granted to any individual in the future.

Interests of the Company's Directors and Officers

        When you consider the recommendation of the Company's board of directors, you should keep in mind that the Company's executive officers and members of the Company's board of directors have interests that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. These interests include, among other things:

    if the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved and we do not consummate a business combination by October 14, 2018 as contemplated by our IPO prospectus and in accordance with our Articles, the [    ·    ] founder shares held by the Company's officers, directors and affiliates and their permitted transferees, which were acquired prior to the IPO for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, will be worthless (as the holders have waived liquidation rights with respect to such shares), as will the 16,400,000 private placement warrants that were acquired simultaneously with the IPO for an aggregate purchase price of $8,200,000 (as they will expire). Such founder shares and units had an aggregate market value of approximately $[    ·    ] based on the last sale price of $[    ·    ] and $[    ·    ] of the public shares and warrants, respectively, on Nasdaq on [    ·    ], 2018;

    the fact that the initial shareholders have agreed not to redeem any of the founder shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

    the fact that AHPAC issued to the sponsor on August 11, 2017, as amended and restated on May 3, 2018, an unsecured promissory note pursuant to which AHPAC is permitted to borrow up to $600,000 in aggregate principal amount;

    the fact that the initial shareholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their founder shares if AHPAC fails to complete an initial business combination by October 14, 2018;

    the fact that if AHPAC consummates a business combination, any amounts outstanding under any loan made by the sponsor to AHPAC will be repayable in cash or at the option of the sponsor, an aggregate amount up to $1,500,000 may be converted into warrants with identical

      terms as the private placement warrants, at the price of $0.50 per warrant, and if AHPAC fails to complete a business combination there may be insufficient assets outside the trust account to satisfy such loans;

    the fact that if AHPAC consummates the Organogenesis Transaction, the initial shareholders will surrender to AHPAC an aggregate 6,359,007 AHPAC Class B ordinary shares and 16,400,000 private placement warrants;

    if the trust account is liquidated in the event AHPAC is unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, the sponsor has agreed to indemnify AHPAC to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced below $10.00 per public share, or such lesser amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the trust account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of this offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act;

    the anticipated election of Mr. Joshua Tamaroff as a director of AHPAC in the Organogenesis Transaction;

    the continued indemnification of AHPAC's existing directors and officers and the continuation of AHPAC's directors' and officers' liability insurance after the Organogenesis Transaction;

    the fact that the sponsor, officers and directors may not participate in the formation of, or become a director or officer of, any other blank check company until AHPAC (i) has entered into a definitive agreement regarding an initial business combination or (ii) fails to complete an initial business combination by October 14, 2018; and

    the fact that the sponsor, officers and directors will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses if an initial business combination is not consummated by October 14, 2018.

        Additionally, if the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved and the Company consummates an initial business combination, the officers and directors may have additional interests that would be described in the proxy statement for such transaction.

ACCOUNTING FIRM


INFORMATION ABOUT AHPAC

        AHPAC is a blank check company incorporated on December 4, 2015RSM US LLP currently serves as a Cayman Islands exempt company and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to as a "business combination." Prior to entering into the Merger Agreement, AHPAC's acquisition and value creation strategy was to identify, acquire and, after an initial business combination, build a company in the healthcare sector in public markets that complements the experience of AHPAC's management team and can benefit from AHPAC's management's operational expertise. AHPAC's acquisition selection process has leveraged its management team's network of potential transaction sources, ranging from healthcare industry executives, board members, private equity investors, wealthy families, commercial banks, investment bankers, advisors, attorneys, accountants and other transaction intermediaries. AHPAC has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue to date. Based on AHPAC's business activities, we are a "shell company" as defined under the Exchange Act because AHPAC has no operations and nominal assets consisting almost entirely of cash.

        Prior to our IPO, on December 14, 2015, our sponsor purchased 8,625,000 Class B ordinary shares, for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.003 per share. In October 2016, our sponsor transferred 50,000 Class B ordinary shares to each of our independent directors at their original per share purchase price. In addition, at such time, each ofregistered public accounting firm and audited our independent directors purchased an additional 421,250 Class B ordinary shares from our sponsor at their original purchase price.

        On October 14, 2016, we consummated our IPO of 30,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit generating gross proceeds of $300,000,000 before underwriting discounts and expenses. Each unit ("unit") consists of one Class A Ordinary Share, par value $0.0001 per share and one warrant to purchase one-half of one Class A Ordinary Share where two warrants must be exercisedfinancial statements for one whole Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share (each, a "public warrant"). Simultaneously with the closing of our IPO, AHPAC completed the private sale of an aggregate of 16,000,000 private placement warrants (each, a "private placement warrant"), at a purchase price of $0.50 per private placement warrant, to the initial shareholders, generating gross proceeds to AHPAC of $8,000,000.

        On November 28, 2016, we completed the sale of an additional 1,000,000 units to the underwriters of the IPO at the public offering price of $10.00 per unit pursuant to the partial exercise of the Over-allotment Option. On November 28, 2016, we sold an additional 400,000 private placement warrants for an aggregate purchase price of $200,000 in connection with the exercise of the Over-allotment Option. Following the partial exercise of the Over-allotment Option, 875,000 Class B ordinary shares were forfeited in order to maintain the ownership of the initial shareholders at 20% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares. On November 28, 2016, our sponsor sold 161,180 Class B ordinary shares and 350,114 private placement warrants to one of our independent directors at their original purchase price. On July 5, 2017, our sponsor sold 186,320 Class B ordinary shares and 404,723 private placement warrants to one of our independent directors at their original per share purchase price.

Of such amount, $310,000,000 was deposited into the trust account by trustee. The remaining $8,200,000 was held outside of the trust account, of which $6,200,000 was used to pay underwriting discounts, with the balance used to repay a note to our sponsor and to pay accrued offering and formation costs, and the remainder was reserved for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective acquisitions and continuing general and administrative expenses. In the future,


a portion of interest income on the funds held in the trust account may be released to us to pay tax obligations. At June 30, 2018, funds held in the trust account consisted solely of cash.

        On November 28, 2016, we announced that, commencing November 29, 2016, holders of the 31,000,000 units sold in the IPO may elect to separately trade the public shares and public warrants included in the units. Those Units not separated will continue to trade on the NASDAQ under the symbol "AHPAU," and the public shares and warrants that are separated will trade on the NASDAQ under the symbols "AHPA" and "AHPAW," respectively.

However, our audit committee has recommended that the Board of Directors submit this matter to the plan we submittedstockholders as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the Listing Qualifications Departmentappointment, the audit committee will reconsider whether to retain RSM US LLP, and may retain that firm or another without re-submitting the matter to our stockholders. Even if the appointment is ratified, the audit committee may, in its discretion, direct the appointment of NASDAQa different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in responseour best interest and the best interest of our stockholders.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

        The following table sets forth information available to us at [    ·    ], 2018votes cast with respect to this matter. We will not count abstentions or broker non-votes as votes cast.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE PROPOSAL TO RATIFY THE APPOINTMENT OF RSM US LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR FISCAL YEAR 2022.

INFORMATION ABOUT OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND MANAGEMENT

Board Composition

Our board of directors currently consists of [eleven] members, each of whom holds office until their successor has been elected and qualified or until the earlier of their resignation or removal. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the board of directors. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws also provide that any vacancy on our Ordinary Shares held by:board of directors, including a vacancy resulting from an enlargement of our board of directors, may be filled only by vote of a majority of our directors then in office.

During fiscal year 2020, the Company was a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) listing rule 5615(c) because Alan A. Ades, Albert Erani and Glenn H. Nussdorf, current and former members of our board of directors, together with Dennis Erani, Starr Wisdom and certain of their respective affiliates controlled over 50% of the voting power for the election of the Company’s directors. We refer to this group as the Significant Stockholder Group. As a controlled company, the Company was not required to have and did not have (i) a majority of independent directors on its board of directors, (ii) a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors or (iii) a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors. Accordingly, during fiscal year 2021, only the members of our Audit Committee (formerly composed of Mr. Leibowitz, Mr. Wayne Mackie and Mr. Josh Tamaroff, and currently composed of Mr. Leibowitz, Dr. Driscoll and Ms. Duraibabu, all independent directors), had been determined by our board of directors to be “independent directors” as defined under Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

On May 6, 2021, the Company ceased to qualify as a “controlled company” because the Significant Stockholder Group no longer controlled over 50% of the voting power for the election of the Company’s directors. Following the loss of controlled company status, the Nasdaq listing rules require that the Company comply with the independence requirements, as they relate to the nominating committee and compensation committee, on the following phase-in schedule: (1) one independent committee member at the time the Company ceased to be a controlled company, (2) a majority of independent committee members within 90 days of the date the Company ceased to be a controlled company and (3) all independent committee members within one year of the date the Company ceased to be a controlled company. Additionally, the Nasdaq rules provide a 12-month phase-in period from the date the Company ceased to be a controlled company to comply with the majority independent board requirement. On May 7, 2021, the board of directors voted that, consistent with Nasdaq rules, director nominees must either be selected, or recommended for the Board’s selection, by independent directors constituting a majority of the Board’s independent directors in a vote in which only independent directors participate. On August 3, 2021, the board of directors voted to establish a Nominating Committee of the board of directors, consisting of independent directors only. One member of the Company’s compensation committee was independent on May 6, 2021, a majority of the members of our compensation committee were independent by July 16, 2021 and all of the members of the compensation committee were independent by February 15, 2022. The Company must comply with the requirement to have a majority of independent directors on its board of directors by May 6, 2022.

Board Role in Risk Oversight

One of the key functions of our board of directors is informed oversight of our risk management process. Our Chief Executive Officer is responsible for setting the strategic direction for our company and the day to day leadership and performance of the company, while our Chair, Alan A. Ades, who is not an executive officer, sets the agenda for board meetings and presides over meetings of the board. Our independent directors meet in executive session on a regular basis, without management present.

Our board of directors does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through the board of directors as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of our board of directors that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, our board of directors is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure and our audit committee has the responsibility to consider and discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. The audit committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Our compensation committee assesses and monitors whether any of our compensation policies and programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting ComplianceReports

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act as amended, requires our directors and executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of our Ordinary Sharesequity securities, to file reports of ownership

of, and changestransactions in, ownershipour securities with the SEC.Securities and Exchange Commission. These reporting personsdirectors, executive officers and ten-percent stockholders are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely uponon a review of the copies of such forms received by us, and on written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during fiscal year 2021 our directors, executive officers and ten-percent stockholders complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements, except that six Form 4 filings with respect to eight sales of securities by Starr Wisdom were not timely filed, a Form 4 filing with respect to a sale of securities by Dennis Erani was not timely filed, and a Form 4 filing with respect to two share purchase transactions by Michael W. Katz was not timely filed.

Meetings of the Board of Directors

Our board of directors met in person or by telephone 13 times during fiscal year 2021. No director attended fewer than 75 percent of the aggregate number of meetings of the board of directors and of any committee of the Board on which he or she served, in each case held during the period in which he or she served as a director, in fiscal year 2021.

Policy Regarding Board Attendance

Our directors are expected to attend meetings of the board of directors and meetings of committees on which they serve. Our directors are expected to spend the time needed at each meeting and to meet as frequently as necessary to properly discharge their responsibilities. We encourage members of our board of directors to attend our annual meetings of stockholders, but we do not have a formal policy requiring them to do so.

Director Nominations

Since we are no longer a controlled company and are now required under the Nasdaq listing rules to maintain a nominating committee comprised entirely of independent directors, the board of directors voted to establish a nominating committee consisting of Mr. Giacomin, its chairperson, and Mr. Leibowitz, on August 3, 2021. Each year, the nominating committee recommends to our board of directors and our board of directors proposes to our stockholders a slate of director nominees for election at the annual meeting of stockholders. In identifying and evaluating candidates for membership on the board of directors, the nominating committee may take into account all factors it considers appropriate, which may include experience, qualifications, attributes, skills, diversity and other characteristics in the context of the current make-up of the board of directors and the needs of the board of directors given the circumstances of the Company. In proposing nominees for our board of directors, the nominating committee takes into account the designation rights of the Significant Stockholder Group as set forth in the Controlling Stockholders Agreement dated as of December 10, 2018. Stockholders may also recommend candidates for election to the board of directors, as described below. We do not have a formal diversity policy for directors. The nominating committee identifies director candidates based on input provided by a number of sources, including from members of the board of directors, stockholders and members of management.

The board of directors and nominating committee value the input of stockholders in identifying director candidates. Accordingly, the nominating committee considers recommendations for director candidates submitted by stockholders using substantially the same criteria it applies to recommendations from directors and members of management. Any such nominations should be submitted to the board of directors by mail in care of the Company’s Corporate Secretary at 85 Dan Road, Canton, Massachusetts 02021 and be accompanied by the information required by the bylaws. The written recommendation should be submitted within the time frame described in the bylaws.

Communications with our Board of Directors

Stockholders wishing to communicate with our board of directors should send correspondence to the attention of our Corporate Secretary at our offices located at 85 Dan Road, Canton, Massachusetts 02021, and should include with the correspondence evidence that the sender of the communication is one of our stockholders. Satisfactory evidence would include, for example, contemporaneous correspondence from a brokerage firm indicating the identity of the stockholder, the number of shares held and the address, telephone number and e-mail address, if any, of the stockholder. Our Corporate Secretary will review all correspondence confirmed to be from stockholders and decide whether or not to forward the correspondence or a summary of the correspondence to the full board of directors or a committee thereof. Our Corporate Secretary will review all stockholder correspondence, but the decision to relay that correspondence to the full board or a committee will rest entirely within his discretion. Our board believes that this process will suffice to handle the relatively low volume of communications we have historically received from our stockholders. If the volume of communications increases such that this process becomes burdensome to our Corporate Secretary, our board of directors may elect to adopt more elaborate screening procedures.

Director Compensation

for service as a member of the nominating committee other than as a chair, $10,000 (decreased to $7,500 effective April 1, 2022).

On August 3, 2021, our board of directors appointed Mr. Leibowitz as interim chair of the compensation committee. As compensation for his service as interim chair of the compensation committee, our board of directors awarded Mr. Leibowitz 5,000 restricted stock units that vest on August 3, 2022, subject to continued service on our board of directors. Mr. Leibowitz did not receive any other compensation for his service as interim chair of the compensation committee. Mr. Giacomin was appointed chair of the compensation committee effective February 15, 2022.

Retainer and committee fees are paid in arrears. The independent directors who served on our board of directors in fiscal year 2021 were Messrs.

Leibowitz, Mackie and Tamaroff each received an option award with respect to 30,000 shares of our Class A common stock in connection with their initial election to our board of directors in December 2018, which vested annually over three years, subject to continued service. We planned also to make an annual option grant to each of our independent directors with respect to 20,000 shares of our Class A common stock, vesting annually over three years, subject to continued service. However, our board of directors decided instead to make discretionary equity grants to our independent directors each year. Those discretionary grants consisted of the following equity awards to each independent director: (1) a grant in April 2020 of 18,564 restricted stock units, which vested on April 1, 2021; (2) a grant in February 2021 of 6,318 restricted stock units, which vested on April 1, 2022; (3) a grant in February 2021 of 5,482 restricted stock units, which vested on February 16, 2022; and (4) a grant in February 2022 of 20,547 restricted stock units, which will vest on February 15, 2023, subject to continued service. All non-employee directors are reimbursed for customary business expenses incurred in connection with attending board and committee meetings. Mr. Giacomin received a grant of 5,319 restricted stock units upon his initial election to the board of directors which vests in equal annual installments over three years beginning May 7, 2021, Ms. Duraibabu received a grant of 11,340 restricted stock units upon her initial election to the board of directors which vests in equal annual installments over three years beginning November 19, 2021. Dr. Driscoll received a grant of 20,547 restricted stock units upon his initial election to the board of directors which will vest on February 15, 2023, subject to continued service.

The following table sets forth information regarding compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to our non-employee directors in connection with their service for the year ended December 31, 2021.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION


FUTURE SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
Executive Summary

        IfThe compensation of our executive officers is determined by our board of directors based upon the Extension Amendment Proposalrecommendation of our compensation committee. Our formal annual compensation review process generally takes place during the first half of each fiscal year, after the results of the previous fiscal year are known. Annual discretionary cash bonuses for the completed fiscal year, if any, and long-term equity-based incentive compensation awards, if any, are awarded by the board of directors on a discretionary basis based upon the recommendation of the compensation committee, generally during the first half of each fiscal year, after a review of the previous fiscal year’s results.

In making their recommendations and determinations, our compensation committee and our board of directors take into account publicly available information concerning the compensation practices of other, similarly situated companies in the biotechnology, medical technology and biopharmaceutical industries. This information is used by the compensation committee and the Trust Amendment Proposalboard of directors informally and primarily for purposes of comparison to ascertain whether our compensation practices for our executive officers are approved,broadly competitive. Our Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations with regard to the Company'scompensation of our executive officers, which are reviewed by the compensation committee and the board of directors. Executive officers (including Mr. Gillheeney) do not participate in the compensation committee’s recommendation regarding and the board’s determination of their own annual compensation.

In connection with its recommendations to the board of directors, the compensation committee periodically retains an independent compensation consultant to assess the competitiveness of the Company’s compensation levels and practice applicable to the Company’s executive officers. Nonetheless, the determinations made by the members of our compensation committee and board of directors are guided to a significant degree by their collective judgment and experience. During fiscal year 2021, the compensation committee engaged Pearl Meyer & Partners, LLC as an independent compensation consultant to advise on executive officer and board compensation.

Our compensation committee and board of directors has reviewed our compensation programs and believes that our compensation programs have not encouraged or rewarded excessive or inappropriate risk taking.

INFORMATION ABOUT OUR AUDIT COMMITTEE AND

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Audit Committee Report

The primary role of our audit committee is to assist our Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by reviewing the financial information proposed to be provided to stockholders and others, the adequacy of the system of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures established by management and the Board, and the audit process and the independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications, independence and performance.

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining the company’s system of internal controls and for preparation of the company’s financial statements. Our independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an audit of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and issuing an opinion on the financial statements. The audit committee has met and held discussions with management and our independent registered public accounting firm, and has also met separately with our independent registered public accounting firm, without management present, to review the adequacy of our internal controls, financial reporting practices and audit process.

The audit committee has reviewed and discussed our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 with management and the independent registered public accounting firm. As part of this review, the audit committee discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm the communications required by generally accepted auditing standards, including those described in the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Statement on Auditing Standards No. 16, “Communication with Audit Committees,” as amended.

The audit committee has received from our independent registered public accounting firm a written statement describing all relationships between that firm and Organogenesis Holdings Inc. that might bear on the registered public accounting firm’s independence, consistent with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Ethics and Independence Rule 3526, “Communication with Audit Committees Concerning Independence.” The audit committee has discussed the written statement with the independent registered public accounting firm, and has considered whether the independent registered public accounting firm’s provision of any consultation and other non-audit services to Organogenesis Holdings Inc. is compatible with maintaining the registered public accounting firm’s independence.

Based on the above-mentioned reviews and discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the audit committee recommended to the Board of Directors that Organogenesis Holdings Inc.’s audited financial statements be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
