Item 1. Security and Issuer.

This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D (the “Statement”) is being filed to amend the Statement as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2022, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated December 1, 2022, as further amended by Amendment No. 2 dated January 5, 2023 with respect to the Class A common shares, par value $0.00005 per share (the “Class A common shares”) of Arco Platform Ltd., an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), whose principal executive offices are located at Rua Augusta 2840, 9th floor, suite 91, Consolação, São Paulo – SP, 01412-100, Brazil. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Item of the Statement remains unchanged.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

 

No material change.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

Item 3 is amended and supplemented as follows:

This Statement is not being made as a result of any particular acquisition or disposition of Class A common shares by the Reporting Persons. The purpose of this Statement is to update the number of outstanding Class A common shares of the Company to reflect recent issuances and to correspondingly adjust the beneficial ownership of the Reporting Persons.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

No material change.

 

 

 

 

CUSIP No. G04553106 SCHEDULE 13D Page 18 of 24

 

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

(a) The percentages used herein are calculated based upon on an aggregate of 41,610,891, the sum of (i) 29,450,551 Class A common shares reported by the Company to be outstanding as of April 8, 2022 as reflected in the Company's proxy statement, filed on Form 6-K (the “Form 6-K”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 13, 2022, (ii) 10,436,202 Class A common shares issued by the Company in connection with the Company’s acquisition of isaac (the “Transaction”) as announced by the Company in its press release dated January 3, 2023 and (iii) 1,724,138 Class A common shares that would result if all convertible notes of the Company held by the Reporting Persons were converted into Class A common shares at the initial conversion price of US$29 per share.

By virtue of submitting the Proposal, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a “group” with Dragoneer (as defined below), Oto Brasil de Sá Cavalcante Neto and Ari de Sá Cavalcante Neto (together with Oto Brasil de Sá Cavalcante Neto, the “Founders”) that own Class A common shares and Class B common shares pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act as a result of jointly submitting the proposal. However, each Reporting Person expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the Class A common shares beneficially owned by any other reporting person(s), Dragoneer or the Founders. Neither the filing of this Statement nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns any Class A common shares or Class B common shares of the Company that are beneficially owned by any other reporting person(s), Dragoneer or the Founders. The Reporting Persons are only responsible for the information contained in this Statement and assume no responsibility for information contained in any other Schedules 13D filed by any other reporting person(s), Dragoneer or the Founders.

Based on the Schedule 13D filed by Dragoneer Adviser and Marc Stad (collectively “Dragoneer”) with the SEC on January 11, 2023 and supplemental information provided to the Reporting Persons by Dragoneer, Dragoneer beneficially owns 5,013,675 Class A common shares, which includes (i) 1,565,395 Class A common shares, and (ii) 3,448,280 Class A common shares issuable upon conversion of all the 2028 Convertible Notes held by Dragoneer. Based on (i) 29,450,551 Class A common shares reported outstanding as of April 8, 2022 in the Form 6-K, (ii) 10,436,202 Class A common shares issued by the Company in connection with the Transaction as announced by the Company in its press release dated January 3, 2023, and (ii) 3,448,280 Class A common shares issuable on conversion of all the 2028 Convertible Notes held by Dragoneer, Dragoneer beneficially owns approximately 11.6% of the outstanding Class A common shares, as calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i).

Based on the Schedule 13D filed by Oto Brasil de Sá Cavalcante with the SEC on January 11, 2023, Oto Brasil de Sá Cavalcante beneficially owns 19,103,363 Class B common shares. Based on (i) 29,450,551 Class A common shares reported to be outstanding as of April 8, 2022 in the Form 6-K, (ii) 10,436,202 Class A common shares issued by the Company in connection with the Transaction as announced by the Company in its press release dated January 3, 2023, and (iii) 19,103,363 Class A common shares issuable on conversion of all Class B common shares held by Oto Brasil de Sá Cavalcante, Oto Brasil de Sá Cavalcante beneficially owns approximately 32.4% of the outstanding Class A common shares, as calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i), 69.7% of the total number of Class B common shares outstanding reported to be outstanding as of April 8, 2022 in the Form 6-K, and voting power of approximately 60.9%. The percentage of total voting power represents voting power with respect to all Class A common shares and Class B common shares, as a single class. Each Class B common share may be converted into one Class A common share at the option of the holder.
