Item 8.01 Other Events
On January 28, 2021, Andina announced it had entered into a definitive business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, (i) Andina will re-domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Companies Law (2018 Revision) of the Cayman Islands and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, (ii) Stryve Foods LLC (“Stryve”), a Texas limited liability company, will conduct a reorganization via merger pursuant to Section 10.005 of the Texas Business Organizations Code pursuant to which Stryve Foods Holdings LLC (“Stryve Holdings”) will become a holding company for Stryve, the former owners of Stryve will become the owners of Stryve Holdings, and Stryve will retain all of its business, assets and liabilities, and become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stryve Holdings, (iii) Stryve Holdings will contribute to Andina Holdings LLC, a subsidiary of Andina (“Andina Holdings”), the equity interests of Stryve, in exchange for newly issued non-voting membership interests of Andina Holdings and voting (but non-economic) common stock of Andina, and (iv) Andina will contribute all of its cash and cash equivalents to Andina Holdings, after payment of the Andina shareholders that elect to have their Andina shares redeemed or converted in connection with the consummation of the transactions in accordance with Andina’s organizational documents and initial public offering prospectus and Andina’s expenses and other liabilities, in exchange for newly issued voting membership interests of Andina Holdings, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Agreement.
At its 2020 general meeting of shareholders held on January 27, 2021, shareholders of Andina approved an extension of time by which Andina must complete its initial business combination or liquidate the trust account that holds the proceeds of the Company’s initial public offering to April 30, 2021 (or July 31, 2021 if the Company enters into a definitive agreement for its initial business combination by April 30, 2021). As a result of entering into the Business Combination Agreement, such deadline has been extended to July 31, 2021.
A copy of the press release issued by Andina announcing the execution of the Business Combination Agreement is included as Exhibit 99.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Additional Information and Where to Find It
A full description of the terms of the business combination transaction will be provided in a proxy statement/prospectus for Andina’s shareholders to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Andina urges investors, shareholders and other interested persons to read, when available, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, as well as other documents filed with the SEC, because these documents will contain important information about Andina, Stryve and the proposed business combination transaction. The definitive proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to shareholders of Andina as of a record date to be established for voting on the proposed transaction. Shareholders may obtain copies of the proxy statement/prospectus, when available, without charge, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to: Andina Acquisition Corp. III, Calle 113 #7-45 Torre B, Oficina 1012, Bogotá, Colombia.

Andina expressly disclaims any obligations or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in Andina’s and Stryve’s expectations with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based.
