On July 18, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to an investment commitment letter dated as of May 30, 2023, by and between SALIC and the Issuer (the “Investment Commitment Letter”), SALIC purchased 180,000,000 Common Shares from the Issuer for total consideration of approximately $337,000,000.


CUSIP No. 10552T107    13D    Page 5 of 8 pages

 

Pursuant to the Investment Commitment Letter, SALIC agreed that for a period of seven (7) years from the Closing Date, it would not acquire, hold or otherwise beneficially own shares issued by the Issuer, or any other securities convertible, linked or backed by shares of the Issuer representing in aggregate more than twenty five percent (25%) of the Issuer’s total share capital, without the prior approval of the Issuer, unless such increase in shareholding results from (i) a capital increase by the Issuer and/or any primary offerings by the Issuer, other than the offering subject to the Investment Commitment Letter, or (ii) any mergers, share mergers and any other corporate reorganizations involving the Issuer, SALIC and/or any of SALIC’s affiliates (the “Standstill”).

The foregoing description of the Investment Commitment Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of such agreement, which is attached as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D and incorporated herein by reference.

General

The Reporting Persons acquired the securities described in this Schedule 13D in connection with the closing of the Investment Commitment Letter and intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Any actions the Reporting Persons might undertake may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will be dependent upon the Reporting Persons’ review of numerous factors, including, but not limited to: an ongoing evaluation of the Issuer’s business, financial condition, operations and prospects; price levels of the Issuer’s securities; general market, industry and economic conditions; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other future developments.

The Reporting Persons, subject to the terms of the Standstill, may acquire additional securities of the Issuer, or retain or sell all or a portion of the securities then held, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The Reporting Persons may also seek to add one or more representatives to the Issuer’s board of directors. In addition, the Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with management, the Issuer’s board of directors, and other securityholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties or encourage, cause or seek to cause the Issuer or such persons to consider or explore extraordinary corporate transactions, such as: a merger, reorganization or take-private transaction that could result in the de-listing or de-registration of the Common Shares; sales or acquisitions of assets or businesses; changes to the capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; or other material changes to the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, including changes in management or the composition of the board of directors.

Other than as described above, the Reporting Persons do not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)–(j) of Schedule 13D, although, depending on the factors discussed herein, each of the Reporting Persons may change its purpose or formulate different plans or proposals with respect thereto at any time.

Price per Share

The Investor understands that the price per Share in the Offering will be determined by the Company and the underwriters following the conclusion of the customary bookbuilding process (“Offering Price per Share”). The Investor undertakes and agrees to subscribe for and purchase a number of Shares in a total monetary amount to be determined by multiplying the Offering Price per Share by the number of Shares effectively allocated in the Offering (up to the Investment Commitment Amount), provided that ( 1) the Offering Price per Share is equal to or lower than nine Brazilian reais per Share (R$9.00) (“Investor Price per Share”) and (2) an aggregate number of Shares equal to no less than 2/3 of the Investment Commitment Amount are allocated to the Investor in the Offering.

The Investor Price per Share may be revised proportionally in case of any stock split (desdobramento) or reserve stock split (grupamento) that the Company’s shareholders may approve prior to the launch of the Offering.


In case the Offering Price per Share is higher than the Investor Price per Share and/or an aggregate number of Shares equal to less than 2/3 of the Investment Commitment Amount are allocated to the Investor in the Offering, the Investor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make the investment and honor the Investment Commitment. In this event, the Investor shall promptly communicate its decision to the Company and the underwriters, which will be obligated to fully allocate the Investor’s investment order in the Offering to the fully extent permitted by Law.

Provided that the conditions determined in this letter in connection with the Investment Commitment are met, the Company shall allocate to the Investor a number of shares in the Offering as required to comply with this letter, taking any and all other measures – including, but not limited to, instructing the lead bookrunner of the Offering – to ensure that the Investor is conferred the right to subscribe a number of shares under the Offering, as required in order to comply with this letter.

The Investor shall bear all responsibilities, risks and costs with respect to any applicable consents from Governmental Authorities required for the Investor’s holding of any and all Shares pursuant to the Investment Commitment or for the exercise of any and all rights related thereto.

The Investor and the Company hereby agree to reasonably cooperate in determining the jurisdictions in which the Offering may require antitrust and other regulatory approvals (“Required Approvals”). Upon determination of the list of Required Approvals, the Company undertakes to execute all documents reasonably required from the Company which may be necessary to secure the Required Approvals in connection with the Offering. Any exchange of confidential and/or sensitive information between the Investor and the Company in connection with the Required Approvals shall take place through external counsel engaged by each Party. The foregoing does not affect the Parties’ obligations under this letter, including Investor’s obligation to comply with its Investment Commitment.

 

3

The Condition Precedent set forth in Section 3(iii)(a) above is for the benefit of both Parties and is not subject to a waiver by either Party.
