PROXY STATEMENT SUPPLEMENT

December 5, 2024

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF CHENGHE ACQUISITION I CO.:

This is a supplement (this “Supplement”) to the definitive proxy statement of Chenghe Acquisition I Co. (the “Company” or “SPAC”), dated December 3, 2024 (the “Proxy Statement”), that was sent to you in connection with the Company’s extraordinary general meeting of shareholders scheduled for 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on December 23, 2024, virtually, at https://www.cstproxy.com/chengheacquisitioni/bc2024 (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”).

At the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Company’s shareholders will be asked to consider and vote upon, among other proposals, a proposal to approve the Company’s business combination.

The Company has filed this Supplement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to update and supplement certain disclosures contained in the Proxy Statement, as set forth below. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Proxy Statement.

Supplemental Disclosures to Certain Disclosures Contained Within the Proxy Statement

The disclosures relating to the estimated per share price at which the Public Shares (as defined in the Proxy Statement) may be redeemed, which disclosures appear on pages 14, 22, 124, 126 and 152 of the Proxy Statement, are hereby amended and restated, in each case, to refer to $11.726 per share (rather than $9.02 per share).

The disclosures now read as follows:

Page 14 of the Proxy Statement: “Under SPAC MAA, SPAC Public Shareholders may elect to have their SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares redeemed for a pro rata portion of the cash held in the Trust Account (which, for illustrative purposes, was $11.726 per redeemable SPAC Class A Ordinary Share as of November 27, 2024), less any owed but unpaid taxes on the funds and deferred underwriting fees.”

Page 22 of the Proxy Statement: “Any Public Shareholder satisfying the requirements for exercising redemption rights will be entitled to a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (which, for illustrative purposes, was $11.726 per redeemable SPAC Class A Ordinary Share, as of November 27, 2024), less any owed but unpaid taxes on the funds in the Trust Account and deferring underwriting fees.”

Page 124 of the Proxy Statement: “Any SPAC Public Shareholders may demand that SPAC redeem such SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds deposited in the Trust Account (which, for illustrative purposes, was $11.726 per redeemable SPAC Class A Ordinary Share as of November 27, 2024), calculated as of two (2) Business Days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Business Combination.”

Page 126 of the Proxy Statement: “The closing price of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares on November 25, 2024 (latest practicable date prior to the Record Date) was $11.68. The cash held in the Trust Account on November 27, 2024 was approximately $41,445,057.72 ($11.726 per redeemable SPAC Class A Ordinary Share).”

Page 152 of the Proxy Statement: “Any SPAC Public Shareholders satisfying the requirements for exercising redemption rights will be entitled to a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (which, for illustrative purposes, was $11.726 per redeemable SPAC Class A Ordinary Share, as of November 27, 2024), less taxes payable.”

Forward-Looking Statements

This Supplement contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, including those set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of the Proxy Statement, the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 12, 2024, and other documents of the Company filed, or to be filed, with the SEC, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements for revisions or changes after the date of this Supplement, except as required by law.
