PROXY VOTING METHODS

If you were a shareholder of record, you may vote your shares in advance over the Internet, by telephone or by mail. Shareholders of record entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting are entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote in their stead. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.

Proxy cards with respect to shares held of record must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on December 6, 2023. A vote by Internet or by telephone may be made any time up to the closing of voting at the Meeting.

If you hold your shares in street name, you may submit voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee. In most instances, you will be able to do this over the Internet, by telephone or by mail. Please refer to information from your bank, broker or other nominee on how to submit voting instructions.

To vote by proxy if you are a shareholder of record:

CHANGING OR REVOKING YOUR PROXY

Whether you have voted by Internet, telephone or mail, if you are a stockholder of record, you may change your vote and revoke your proxy by:

 

   

sending a written statement to that effect to Computershare, provided such statement is received no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on December 6, 2023;

 

   

voting by Internet or telephone at a later time than your previous vote and before the conclusion of the Meeting;

 

   

submitting a properly signed proxy card, which has a later date than your previous vote, and that is received no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on December 6, 2023; or

 

   

attending the Meeting and voting in person.

If you hold shares in street name, please refer to information from your bank, broker or other nominee on how to revoke or submit new voting instructions.

A revocation of a proxy will not affect a matter on which a vote is taken before the revocation.

QUORUM; VOTE REQUIREMENTS

We are required to have a quorum of shareholders present to conduct business at the Meeting. The presence in person or by proxy of shareholders holding not less than a simple majority of the votes of the shares entitled to vote on the proposals to be considered at the Meeting constitutes a quorum.

For Proposals No. 1 and No. 2, the re-election of directors, under our articles of association, directors are elected by a plurality vote, which means that the director nominees with the greatest number of votes cast, even if less than a majority, will be elected. There is no cumulative voting.

For Proposals No. 3 and No. 4, the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm and the proposed amendment to Company’s articles of association, we are seeking a resolution of shareholders approved by the affirmative vote of not less than a simple majority of the votes of those shareholders at the meeting present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote and voting on the proposal.

It is important to note that the proposal to ratify the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2023 (Proposal No. 3) is non-binding and advisory. While the ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by our articles of association or otherwise, if our shareholders fail to ratify the selection, we will consider it notice to the Board and the Audit Committee to consider the selection of a different firm.

Abstentions will be counted in determining whether a quorum has been reached. However, only votes cast for a director will be counted for purposes of electing a director and, thus, abstentions generally will not affect the outcome of the election. Only votes cast regarding the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm and those cast regarding the proposed amendment to Company’s articles of association will be counted and, thus, abstentions generally will not affect the outcome of the ratification or the approval of the amendment.

If two or more persons are jointly regarded as holders of a share, each of them may be present in person or by proxy at the Meeting, but if such persons are present in person or by proxy they must vote as one.


ATTENDING AND VOTING AT THE MEETING

You will be able to attend the Meeting in person or online by visiting meetnow.global/MWZ7U64. You also will be able to vote your shares online by attending the Meeting by webcast. To participate in the Meeting, you will need to review the information included on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 AND PROPOSAL NO. 2 - RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our business and affairs are managed by, or under the direction or supervision of, our board of directors. Our board of directors has all the powers necessary for managing, and for directing and supervising, our business and affairs and may exercise all our company powers and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by applicable law or our memorandum and articles of association required to be exercised or done by our shareholders. Accordingly, our board of directors has significant discretion (and, regarding the vast majority of management and governance matters, exclusive discretion) in the management and control of our business and affairs.

Our board of directors currently consists of seven members. Our memorandum and articles of association authorize us to have up to eight directors or such other number of directors as is from time to time fixed by resolution of the board.

Our board of directors is divided into three classes designated as the “Class I Directors,” “Class II Directors” and “Class III Directors” plus a director appointed by the L Catterton as holder of the Series A Preferred Shares of the Company (the “L. Catterton Director”) and a director appointed by Waha Capital as the holder of the Series B Preferred Shares (the “Series B Director”), although no Series B Director is currently appointed. Pursuant to our memorandum and articles of association, each of our directors (other than the L. Catterton Director and Series B Director) is appointed at an annual meeting of shareholders for a period of three years, with each director serving until the third annual meeting of shareholders following his or her election. In addition, Expedia, Inc. (“Expedia”) has the right to designate one individual to be a nominee for election to the board of directors pursuant to a nominating agreement with the Company. As of the date of this Chairman’s Letter and Notice of Annual Meeting, one of the members of the board of directors of the Company, Jon Gieselman, whose term expires at the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders to be held in 2024, was nominated by Expedia. Therefore, Expedia is not entitled to nominate a director under the nominating agreement with the Company until Mr. Gieselman no longer serves on the board of directors of the Company.

Our incumbent Class I, II and III Directors are divided among the three classes as follows:

 

   

the Class I Directors are Jon Gieselman and Michael James Doyle, and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2024;

 

   

the Class II Directors are Martín Rastellino and Mario Eduardo Vázquez, and their current terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2025; and

 

   

the Class III Directors are Nilesh Lakhani and Damián Scokin, and their terms will expire at the Meeting.

The L Catterton Director is currently Ramiro Lauzan.

The Board has considered and nominated Nilesh Lakhani and Damián Scokin for further three-year term expiring at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2026. Action will be taken at the Meeting for the re-election of these two Class III Director nominees.

Unless otherwise instructed, the persons named in the form of proxy card (the “proxyholders”) included with this Proxy Statement intend to vote the proxies held by them “FOR” the re-election of the Class III Director nominees named above. Each of the nominees have indicated that they will be willing and able to serve as directors. If any of these nominees ceases to be a candidate for re-election by the time of the Meeting (a contingency which the Board does not expect to occur), such proxies may be voted by the proxyholders in accordance with the recommendation of the Board.

Elections for Class I, II and III Directors will take place by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. No Class I, II or III Director may be elected or re-elected at any special meeting of our shareholders.


Nominees for Re-election as Class III Directors

The following information describes the experience and qualifications of each Class III Director, each of whom is nominated for re-election:

During such time, each of our directors attended over 87% of the meetings of the Board and committees during the time in which he served as a member of the Board or such committee.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE RE-ELECTION OF

EACH OF THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES NAMED ABOVE.


PROPOSAL NO. 3 - RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC

ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2023.

Although ratification is not required by our articles of association or otherwise, the Board is submitting the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to our shareholders for ratification because we value our shareholders’ views on the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. If our shareholders fail to ratify the selection, it will be considered as notice to the Board and the Audit Committee to consider the selection of a different firm (although will not require the Board to select a different firm). Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders.

The shares represented by your proxy will be voted “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP unless you specify otherwise.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF

PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC

ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR 2023.


PROPOSAL NO. 4 – AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

The Company is governed by its memorandum and articles of association. It is proposed to amend article 11.11(a) of the Company’s articles of association as set-out in this Notice of the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

The quorum for a meeting of the Company’s shareholders is a simple majority of the votes of the shares entitled to vote on the resolutions to be considered at the meeting. If a quorum is not reached within 2 hours of the appointed time of a meeting of shareholders that has been convened by the Company, the chairman of the meeting can adjourn and reconvene the meeting to a later time to allow quorum to be met (the “Reconvened Meeting”). Under the Company’s current articles of association, the quorum for a Reconvened Meeting is also a simple majority of the votes of the shares entitled to vote. The proposed amendment would reduce the quorum for a Reconvened Meeting to one-third of the votes of the shares entitled to vote.

Due to the nature of the Company’s shareholder base, it has become increasingly difficult for the Company to obtain quorum. While we note that to date, quorum has always been present at the appointed time of the Company’s meetings of shareholders and there has not been any need to hold a Reconvened Meeting, in recent years the Company has devoted considerable effort and resources to ensure that quorum has been met (including the hiring of a proxy solicitor). The Board of Directors believes that without the proposed amendment there is an increasing risk that the Company will not be able to obtain a quorum at future annual meetings and subsequent Reconvened Meetings, thus hindering the Company’s ability to conduct business. The Board of Directors believes that the proposed amendment balances shareholder’s rights in keeping the current quorum requirement for shareholder meetings while helping to ensure the quorum requirements will be met at any Reconvened Meeting without undue effort, delay and cost.

The Board of Directors has approved this proposed amendment to the articles of association pursuant to clause 9(a) of the Company’s memorandum of association.

The shares represented by your proxy will be voted “FOR” the proposed amendment to the Company’s articles of association unless you specify otherwise.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE AMENDMENT TO

THE COMPANY’S ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION.
