Filing Overview
Registrant: Cartesian Growth Corporation (CGC), although the request metadata identifies Alti Global, Inc. The filing is a Form 8-K dated May 13, 2022, reporting an amendment to the proposed business combination involving Tiedemann Wealth Management Holdings, the TIG entities, Alvarium Investments Limited, and related entities.
Business Context and Reporting Period
On May 13, 2022, CGC and the other parties entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Business Combination Agreement. The amendment updates certain definitions and disclosure schedules related to transaction cash adjustments, available cash, equity value, transaction expenses, and specified banking and other fees.
The filing is a transaction update rather than a periodic financial report. It does not present quarterly or annual operating results.
Financial and Operating Metrics
- Revenue, profit, margins, and cash flow: The filing does not provide a clear value for these metrics.
- Debt and liquidity: No standalone debt, cash balance, liquidity, or financing metrics are disclosed.
- Transaction-related amounts: The amendment revises definitions involving available cash, closing cash adjustments, equity value, and transaction expenses, but the filing text does not state the revised dollar amounts.
- Securities: CGC’s Class A ordinary shares, units, and warrants were listed on Nasdaq under GLBL, GLBLU, and GLBLW, respectively, as of the filing.

The filing does not describe a completed closing, a change in transaction consideration, or a revised completion date.
