Conference ID: 3767178#

Beneficial Owners. Beneficial owners who wish to attend the Annual General Meeting must obtain a legal proxy from the shareholder of record and e-mail a copy of their legal proxy to proxy@continentalstock.com. Beneficial owners should contact their bank, broker, or other nominee for instructions regarding obtaining a legal proxy. Beneficial owners who e-mail a valid legal proxy will be issued a meeting control number that will allow them to register to attend and participate in the Annual General Meeting. You will receive an e-mail prior to the meeting with a link and instructions for entering the Annual General Meeting. Beneficial owners should contact Continental Stock Transfer on or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 26, 2024.

What is the effect of giving a proxy?

Proxies in the form enclosed are solicited by and on behalf of our board of directors. The persons named in the proxy have been designated as proxies by our board of directors. If you sign and return the proxy in accordance with the procedures set forth in this proxy statement, the persons designated as proxies by our board of directors will vote your shares at the meeting as specified in your proxy.

If you sign and return your proxy in accordance with the procedures set forth in this proxy statement but you do not provide any instructions as to how your shares should be voted, your shares will be voted FOR the election of the Class B director nominees (Proposal 1).

If you give your proxy, your shares also will be voted in the discretion of the proxies named on the proxy card with respect to any other matters properly brought before the meeting and any adjournments. If any other matters are properly brought before the meeting, the persons named in the proxy will vote the proxies in accordance with their best judgment.

May I change my vote after I return my proxy card?

If you are a record owner of your shares and you give a proxy, you may revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised by:

Please note that your attendance at the virtual meeting will not alone serve to revoke your proxy.

If your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or another nominee, you should contact your broker, bank or such other nominee for information on how to revoke your voting instructions.

What is a quorum?

A quorum is the minimum number of shares required to be present at the Annual General Meeting for the meeting to be properly held under our Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. The presence, in person, by proxy or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorized representative or proxy, of the holders of a majority of our ordinary shares constitutes a quorum. Proxies that are marked “abstain” and proxies relating to “street name” shares that are returned to us but marked by brokers as “not voted” will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum on all matters. The latter will not be treated as shares voting on the matter as to which authority to vote is withheld from the broker. If a shareholder does not give the broker voting instructions, under applicable self-regulatory organization rules, its broker may not vote its shares on “non-routine” proposals, such as the election of Class B directors.

How many votes are needed for approval of the proposals?

Election of directors. Directors are elected by ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law which will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of ordinary shares present (in person or by proxy or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorized representative) who, being entitled to vote on such proposal at the Annual General Meeting, attend and vote. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will have no effect on such proposal.

If you hold your shares through a broker, bank, or other financial institution, your broker will not be permitted to vote on your behalf on any of the proposals set forth in this proxy statement, without your instructions to do so. Please communicate your voting instructions to your broker, bank, or other financial institution before the meeting so that your vote will be counted.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The table and accompanying footnotes set forth certain information based on public filings or information known to Tecnoglass as of November 5, 2024 with respect to the ownership of our ordinary shares by:

A person is deemed to be the “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares “voting power,” which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or “investment power,” which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security.

PROPOSAL 1 – ELECTION OF CLASS B DIRECTORS

Our board of directors is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term. The term of office of our Class B directors, consisting of Christian T. Daes and Julio A. Torres, will expire at this year’s annual general meeting. The term of office of our Class C directors, consisting of Jose M. Daes and A. Lorne Weil, will expire at our annual general meeting in 2025. The term of office of our Class A directors, consisting of Anne Louise Carricarte, Luis Fernando Castro and Carlos Cure, will expire at our annual general meeting in 2026.

Our nominating committee has nominated each of Christian T. Daes and Julio A. Torres to be re-elected as a Class B director.

At the Annual General Meeting, shareholders will vote on the following resolution:

RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that each of Christian T. Daes and Julio A. Torres be re-appointed as a Class B director to hold office in accordance with the third amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company noting that they had accepted their respective appointments on the basis that the indemnity in the third amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company would be deemed to form part of their service contract and/or terms of appointment with the Company and, accordingly, that they would be able to enforce such indemnity, if necessary, against the Company.

Recommendation and Vote Required

Election of directors. Directors are elected by ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law which will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the ordinary shares present (in person or by proxy or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorized representative) who, being entitled to vote on such proposal at the Annual General Meeting, attend and vote. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will have no effect on such proposal.

Unless authority is withheld or the shares are subject to a broker non-vote, the proxies solicited by the board of directors will be voted “FOR” the election of these nominees. In case any of the nominees becomes unavailable for election to the board of directors, an event that is not anticipated, the persons named as proxies, or their substitutes, will have full discretion and authority to vote or refrain from voting for any other candidate in accordance with their judgment.

THE COMPANY’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE CLASS B DIRECTOR NOMINEES LISTED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

Director Independence

Our ordinary shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and therefore, we adhere to the NYSE listing standards in determining whether a director is independent. Our board of directors consults with its counsel to ensure that the board’s determinations are consistent with those rules and all relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the independence of directors.

The NYSE listing standards define an “independent director” as a person, other than an executive officer of a company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the issuer’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Consistent with these considerations, we have affirmatively determined that Messrs. Weil, Cure, Castro Vergara, Torres and Ms. Carricarte qualify as independent directors. Our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

Board of Directors Meetings and Committees

Our board of directors held four (4) meetings in 2023 and acted by written consent four (4) times. We held our 2023 annual general meeting on December 28, 2023, which was attended by all of our directors. No director attended fewer than 75% of the meetings of the board and of the committees thereof upon which he or she served in 2023.

We do not have any formal policy regarding director attendance at annual general meetings of shareholders; however, we attempt to schedule our annual general meetings so that all of our directors can attend. In addition, we expect our directors to attend all board and committee meetings and to spend the time needed and meet as frequently as necessary to properly discharge their responsibilities.

Leadership Structure

Our board of directors has determined to keep separate the positions of board chairman and chief executive officer at this time. This permits our chief executive officer to concentrate his efforts primarily on managing the Company’s business operations and development, while our chairman can focus on, among other things, communications and relations between our board of directors and senior management, consideration by our board of directors of the Company’s strategies and policies and our chief executive officer evaluation processes.

Risk Oversight

Our board of directors’ primary function is one of oversight. Our board of directors as a whole has responsibility for risk oversight and reviews management’s risk assessment and risk management policies and procedures. Our audit committee discusses with our management major financial risk exposures and reports its findings to our board of directors in connection with our board of directors’ risk oversight review. Our compensation committee is responsible for creating incentives that encourage behavior consistent with our business strategy, without encouraging undue risk-taking.

We believe our leadership structure is appropriate for the Company because it ensures accountability for oversight of particular kinds of risks reasonably expected to be faced by the Company is based on the expertise and qualifications of the person(s), in such position(s) and/or on such committee(s), as are primarily responsible for oversight and management of such particular risks. We also, as described elsewhere herein, make efforts to attract and retain the highest quality and most diverse directors. By ensuring that particularly qualified persons are in the position(s) to oversee, mitigate and otherwise manage each particular kind of risk reasonably expected to be faced by the Company, our leadership structure is appropriate to manage risk oversight by the Company.

Code of Conduct

In October 2017, we adopted an updated code of conduct that applies to all of our executive officers, directors and employees. The code of conduct codifies the business and ethical principles that govern all aspects of our business. We will provide, without charge, upon request, copies of our code of conduct. Requests for copies of our code of conduct should be sent in writing to Tecnoglass Inc., 3550 NW 49th Street, Miami, Florida 33142, Attn: Corporate Secretary. Readers can also obtain a copy of our code of conduct on our website at https://investors.tecnoglass.com/governance/governance-overivew/default.aspx.

Corporate Governance

Audit Committee

We have an audit committee of the board of directors, which consists of Carlos A. Cure, Luis Fernando Castro and Julio Torres, with Mr. Cure serving as chairman. Each of the members of the audit committee is independent under the applicable NYSE listing standards.

The audit committee held four (4) meetings and acted by written consent on one (1) occasion in 2023. The audit committee has a written charter, which is included in our compendium of Corporate Governance Guidelines and can be found on our website at https://investors.tecnoglass.com/governance/governance-overivew/default.aspx. The purpose of the audit committee is to assist the Board in monitoring the integrity of the annual, quarterly and other financial statements of the Company, the independent auditor’s qualifications and independence, the performance of the Company’s independent auditor and the compliance by the Company with legal and regulatory requirements. appoint, retain, set compensation of, and supervise our independent accountants, review the results and scope of the audit and other accounting related services and review our accounting practices and systems of internal accounting and disclosure controls. The audit committee’s duties, which are specified in the audit committee charter, include, but are not limited to:

Audit Committee Financial Expert

As required by the NYSE listing standards, the audit committee will at all times be composed exclusively of independent directors who are financially literate, as such qualification is interpreted by our board of directors in its business judgment. In addition, the committee has, and will continue to have, at least one member who has accounting or related financial management expertise, as interpreted by our board of directors in its business judgment. The board of directors has determined that Mr. Torres satisfies the NYSE’s requirements and also qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined under rules and regulations of the SEC.

Audit Committee Report

Our audit committee is responsible for supervising our independent accountants, reviewing the results and scope of the audit and other accounting related services and reviewing our accounting practices and systems of internal accounting and disclosure controls, among other things. These responsibilities include reviewing and discussing with management and the independent auditor the annual audited financial statements. The audit committee does not itself prepare financial statements or perform audits, and its members are not auditors or certifiers of our financial statements.

In fulfilling its oversight responsibility of appointing and reviewing the services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm, the audit committee carefully reviews the policies and procedures for the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm, including the scope of the audit, audit fees, auditor independence matters and the extent to which the independent registered public accounting firm may be retained to perform non-audit related services.

The audit committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, with our management and PricewaterhouseCoopers Ltda. (“PwC”), our independent registered public accounting firm. The audit committee has also discussed with PwC the matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1, AU Section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) in Rule 3200T regarding “Communication with Audit Committees.”

The audit committee has also received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from PwC required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding PwC’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and has discussed with PwC its independence from the Company.

Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the audit committee recommended to the board that the financial statements referred to above be included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Nominating Committee

We have a nominating committee, which consists of A. Lorne Weil and Anne Louise Carricarte, with A. Lorne Weil serving as chairperson. Each member of the nominating committee is an “independent director” as defined under NYSE listing standards. Pursuant to its written charter, which is included in our compendium of Corporate Governance Guidelines and can be found on our website at https://investors.tecnoglass.com/governance/governance-overivew/default.aspx, our nominating committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on our board of directors. The nominating committee met two (2) times in 2023.

Guidelines for Selecting Director Nominees

The nominating committee considers persons identified by its members, management, shareholders, investment bankers and others. Candidates will be reviewed in the context of current composition of the board of directors (including the diversity in background, experience, and viewpoints of the board), the operating requirements of the Company and the long-term interests of the Shareholders. Currently, the guidelines for selecting nominees, which are specified in the nominating committee charter, generally provide that persons to be nominated:

The nominating committee will consider a number of qualifications relating to management and leadership experience, background and integrity and professionalism in evaluating a person’s candidacy for membership on the board of directors. The nominating committee may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from time to time and will also consider the overall experience and makeup of its members to obtain a broad and diverse mix of board members. The nominating committee does not distinguish among nominees recommended by shareholders and other persons.

Compensation Committee

In December 2013, we established a compensation committee. Our compensation committee currently consists of Julio Torres and Luis Fernando Castro Vergara, with Julio Torres serving as chairperson. Each member of the compensation committee is an “independent director” as defined under NYSE listing standards. The compensation committee met two (2) times in 2023. The compensation committee’s duties, which are specified in our compensation committee charter included in our compendium of Corporate Governance Guidelines and can be found on our website at https://investors.tecnoglass.com/governance/governance-overivew/default.aspx, include, but are not limited to:

EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Overview

Compensation Philosophy

Our policies with respect to the compensation of our executive officers and directors are administered by our board in consultation with our compensation committee. Our compensation policies are intended to provide for compensation that:

● is sufficient to attract and retain executives and directors of outstanding ability and potential;

● is tailored to the unique characteristics and needs of our company;

● considers individual value and contribution to our success;

● is designed to motivate our executive officers to achieve our annual and long-term goals by rewarding performance based on the attainment of those goals;

● is designed to appropriately take into account risk and reward in the context of our business environment;

● reflects an appropriate relationship between executive compensation and the creation of shareholder value; and

● is sensitive to market benchmarks.

The compensation committee is charged with recommending executive compensation packages to our board that meet these goals. In making decisions about executive compensation, the compensation committee relies on the experience of its members as well as subjective considerations of various factors, including individual and corporate performance, our strategic business goals, each executive’s position, experience, level of responsibility, and future potential, and compensation paid by companies of similar size in our industry. The compensation committee does not set specific targets or benchmarks for overall compensation or for allocations between different elements of compensation, nor does the committee utilize any fixed formula in respect of such allocations.

Our compensation committee is charged with performing an annual review of our executive officers’ cash compensation and equity holdings to determine whether they provide adequate incentives and motivation to executive officers and whether they adequately compensate the executive officers relative to comparable officers in other companies. As part of this review, management submits recommendations to the compensation committee.

We believe it is important when making compensation-related decisions to be informed as to current practices of similarly situated publicly held companies in our industry. Our compensation committee stays appraised of the cash and equity compensation practices of publicly held companies in the glass and aluminum industries through the review of such companies’ public reports and through other resources. The companies chosen for inclusion in any benchmarking group would have business characteristics comparable to our company, including revenues, financial growth metrics, stage of development, employee headcount and market capitalization. While benchmarking may not always be appropriate as a stand-alone tool for setting compensation due to the aspects of our business and objectives, we generally believe that gathering this information is an important part of our compensation-related decision-making process.

We also take into consideration our most recent shareholder advisory vote on executive compensation, as required by Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In the last advisory vote, conducted at our annual general meeting on December 15, 2022, our compensation program was approved on an advisory basis by over 99% of the shareholders who submitted a vote thereabout (with less than 1% of the votes being against approval or abstaining, collectively). We consider this to be a strong validation that our pay practices are firmly aligned with our shareholders’ best interests.

At present, the only elements of compensation paid to our executive officers are base salaries paid in cash, annual performance bonuses also paid in cash, and certain other benefits, each as further described below.

Base Salaries

Each of our named executive officers is employed on an at-will basis. We do not have employment agreements in place for our named executive officers. Base salaries for our executive officers are individually determined by our compensation committee each year to ensure that each executive’s base salary forms part of a compensation package which appropriately rewards the executive for the value he or she brings to our company and thereby our shareholders. In accordance with our compensation philosophy, salaries are chosen to reflect respective executives’ level of responsibility and experience, the scope and complexity of their position, and market data. Each executive’s base salary may be increased or decreased in the discretion of the compensation committee in accordance with our compensation philosophy.

Bonuses

In addition to their base salaries, our named executive officers are entitled to receive annual performance bonuses based on the company’s financial performance and achievement of certain targets throughout the year. We believe this drives Company performance ultimately benefitting our shareholders, as payout is based upon performance against pre-established, realistic goals in line with our corporate strategy, chosen by our compensation committee specifically to drive economic profit and shareholder value in both the short- and long-term.

Other Compensation and Benefits

Named executive officers receive additional compensation in the form of vacation, medical, 401(k), and other benefits generally available to all of our employees. We believe that including health- and wellbeing-focused elements such as these in our overall compensation mix helps ensure that our personnel are operating at peak effectiveness and thereby best able to drive shareholder value in line with our corporate strategy. We do not provide any other perquisites or other personal benefits to our named executive officers.

Indemnification Agreements

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our executive officers and members of our board of directors. The indemnification agreements supplement our third amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and Cayman Islands law in providing certain indemnification rights to these individuals. The indemnification agreements provide, among other things that we will indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted by Cayman Islands law and to any greater extent that Cayman Islands law may in the future permit, including the advancement of attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by such individuals in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or other proceeding, whether of a civil, criminal, administrative, regulatory, legislative or investigative nature, relating to any occurrence or event before or after the date of the indemnification agreements, by reason of the fact that such individuals is or were our directors or executive officers, subject to certain exclusions and procedures set forth in the indemnification agreements, including the absence of fraud or willful default on the part of the indemnitee and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, that the indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

Related Party Policy

Our Code of Conduct requires us to avoid, wherever possible, all related party transactions that could result in actual or potential conflicts of interests, except under guidelines approved by the board of directors (or the audit committee). Related-party transactions are defined as transactions in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year, (2) we or any of our subsidiaries are a participant, and (3) any (a) executive officer, director or nominee for election as a director, (b) greater than 5% beneficial owner of our ordinary shares, or (c) immediate family member, of the persons referred to in clauses (a) and (b), has or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10% beneficial owner of another entity). A conflict of interest situation can arise when a person takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest may also arise if a person, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position.

Our audit committee, pursuant to its written charter, is responsible for reviewing and approving material or significant related-party transactions to the extent we enter into such transactions. The audit committee will consider all relevant factors when determining whether to approve a related party transaction, including whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction. No director may participate in the approval of any transaction in which he is a related party, but that director is required to provide the audit committee with all material information concerning the transaction. Additionally, we require each of our directors and executive officers to complete an annual directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.

These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.

Employee, Officer, and Director Hedging Policy

We have adopted a policy regarding the ability of our employees, including officers, or directors (or any of their designees) to purchase financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds), or otherwise engage in transactions, that “hedge” or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of our equity securities. Because such hedging transactions could permit a person to continue to own our securities without the full risks and rewards of ownership, and because when that occurs such person may no longer have the same objectives as our other shareholders, our policy prohibits our employees, officers, and directors from engaging in any such transactions.

DELINQUENT SECTION 16(a) REPORTS

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors, executive officers and persons who beneficially own 10% or more of a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership with the SEC. Directors, executive officers and greater than 10% stockholders are required by the rules and regulations of the SEC to furnish the Company with copies of all reports filed by them in compliance with Section 16(a).

To the Company’s knowledge, based solely on a review of reports furnished to it and review of the Section 16 reports (Forms 3, 4 and 5 and any amendments to those forms) filed during (or with respect to) the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, all of the Company’s officers, directors and ten percent holders have timely made the required filings.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The audit committee of our board of directors is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, and oversight of the independent registered public accounting firm that audits our financial statements and our internal control over financial reporting. The audit committee has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers Ltda. (“PwC”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2024. The audit committee annually reviews PwC’s independence and performance in deciding whether to retain PwC or engage a different independent registered public accounting firm.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. In accordance with Section 10A(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, before we engage our independent registered public accounting firm to render audit or non-audit services, the engagement is approved by our audit committee. Our audit committee approved all of the fees referred to in the rows titled “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees,” and “All Other Fees” in the table above.

Representatives of PwC are expected to attend the Annual General Meeting. The representatives will have an opportunity to make any statements and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.
