Item 4.

Purpose of the Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented as follows:

On October 29, 2024, Gibbons P.C., as counsel to Hoche sent a letter to Procaps (“Hoche Counsel Letter”), which, amongst other things, supplements Hoche’s letter to the board of directors of Procaps (the “Board”) dated as October 28, 2024.

The Hoche Counsel Letter states that neither of Hoche’s offers are valid as on date, and that it expects the Board to exercise independent judgment, and work out a solution with the majority shareholders. The letter also encourages the Board to expeditiously pursue discussions with the majority shareholders to avoid delisting and bankruptcy. Further, the letter demands that the Board immediately pursue all action necessary to seek reimbursement of the costs of the investigation, conclude the internal investigation, file the Form 20-F for 2023, and begin the preparation of the 2024 audited financials. Lastly, the letter concludes by re-iterating Hoche’s concerns regarding the inability of the Board to act in pursuing necessary action against the majority shareholders to benefit all stakeholders of the Company. A copy of the letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.24.

Item 7.

Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:
