Insights

Tecnoglass re-domiciles to Florida, updating governance but keeping NYSE listing intact.

Tecnoglass Inc. completed a legal continuation from the Cayman Islands to Florida, making the company subject to the Florida Business Corporation Act and new Florida Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. Existing ordinary shares became Florida common stock with the same par value and listing.

The filing highlights that shareholder rights, governance terms, and tax considerations are now determined by Florida law and the Florida governance documents, with detailed comparisons to prior Cayman law provided in the earlier proxy statement/prospectus. These changes focus on the legal framework rather than near-term financial performance.

The company states that its common stock continues trading on the NYSE under “TGLS”, and that the shares are deemed registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a). Future company filings may further discuss how the new governance structure operates in practice.

Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 

Effective July 7, 2026, Tecnoglass Inc. (the “Company”) completed its previously announced change of jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Florida through a transaction known as a continuation under Section 206 of the Companies Act (as amended) of the Cayman Islands and Section 607.11920 of the Florida Business Corporation Act (the “Continuation”). The Continuation became effective on July 7, 2026 upon the Company’s registration with the State of Florida and the concurrent de-registration application of the Company in the Cayman Islands. The Company is now subject to Florida law, the Florida Governance Documents (as defined herein) and the Florida Business Corporation Act. Each outstanding ordinary share of the Company, par value of $0.0001 per share, at the time of the effectiveness of the Continuation, became a registered share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company.

A description of the Continuation and certain potential effects, including of the material tax considerations of the Continuation and ownership of the Company’s Common Stock, is included in the section of the Final Prospectus titled “Proposal No. 1: Approval of the Continuation” under the headings “Effects of the Continuation” and “Material Tax Considerations.” The aforementioned sections of the Final Prospectus are incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.

 

The foregoing description of the Florida Governance Documents does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Florida Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, which have been filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, and are incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.

 

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

The information included in Item 3.03 above is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.03. The Florida Governance Documents became effective as of July 7, 2026 in connection with the Continuation.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

Following the completion of the Continuation, the Company’s Common Stock continues to be listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “TGLS”. The CUSIP number relating to the Company’s shares of Common Stock are now 87877F 103.

 

In accordance with Rule 12g-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), the Common Stock are deemed to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act.
