Arco announces closing of Debentures issuance in Brazil by Companhia Brasileira de Educação e Sistemas de Ensino S.A.

 

São Paulo, Brazil, July 26, 2023 – Arco Platform Limited, or Arco or the Company (Nasdaq: ARCE), announced today that Companhia Brasileira de Educação e Sistemas de Ensino S.A. (“CBE” or “Issuer”), its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, concluded the issuance of 550,000 non-convertible debentures, each at a par value of R$1,000 (the “Debentures”), totaling R$550 million (approximately US$115 million), for public distribution in Brazil with restricted placement efforts to institutional investors (the “Offering”). The Offering is part of Arco’s balance sheet management strategy to strengthen its cash position, and to extend its debt maturity profile. The Debentures mature on July 12, 2028, with the principal to be amortized in three equal instalments payable on July 12, 2026, July 12, 2027, and July 12, 2028. The Debentures bear interest at 100% of the CDI interest rate (the average of interbank overnight rates in Brazil, based on 252 business days) plus 2.60% per annum, payable semi-annually on January 12 and July 12, and are guaranteed by Arco Educação S.A.
