This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (as may be further supplemented or amended from time to time, the “Schedule TO”) originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by Cosan Limited (the “Company” or “we”), a limited liability exempted company incorporated under the laws of Bermuda, in relation to the Company’s offer to purchase for cash up to an aggregate amount of U.S.$357,500,000 Class A Common Shares, par value U.S.$0.01 per share, at a purchase price not greater than U.S.$15.50 nor less than U.S.$13.05 per Class A Common Share, in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated August 28, 2019 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the related Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal” and, together with the Offer to Purchase, the “Offer Documents”).

 

This Amendment No. 1 is being filed to amend and supplement certain provisions of the Schedule TO and the Exhibits thereto. Except as amended hereby to the extent specifically provided herein, all terms of the Offer and all other disclosures set forth in the Schedule TO and the Exhibits thereto remain unchanged. This Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Schedule TO and the Exhibits thereto. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule TO and the Exhibits thereto.

 

ITEMS 1 THROUGH 11.

 

The Offer to Purchase and Items 1 through 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent that such Items incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

Amendments to the Offer

 

Changes in Price Range

 

On September 12, 2019, the Company announced that it adjusted the price range of its tender offer for the Company’s Class A common Shares. As adjusted, the Purchase Price in the Offer shall not be greater than U.S.$15.50 nor less than U.S.$13.05 per Class A Common Share, with the exact price to be determined through a “modified Dutch auction” pricing mechanism as set forth in the Offer Documents. The aggregate amount of Class A Shares to be purchased pursuant to the Offer of up to U.S.$357,500,000 remains the same. The Expiration Time of the Offer remains the same and is currently scheduled for 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on September 25, 2019, unless the Offer is extended. The Company issued a press release in connection with the foregoing, which is filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(K) to this Amendment No.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference into the Schedule TO and the Offer to Purchase.

 

As a result of the abovementioned changes in the price range for the Offer, and subject to the number of Class Common Shares actually tendered and purchased in the Offer:

 

·At the maximum Purchase Price of U.S.$15.50 per Class A Common Share, we would purchase 23,064,516 Class A Common Shares if the Offer is fully subscribed, which would represent approximately 17.0% of our issued and outstanding Class A common shares as of August 28, 2019. At the minimum Purchase Price of U.S.$13.05 per Class A Common Share, we would purchase 27,394,636 Class A Common Shares if the Offer is fully subscribed, which would represent approximately 20.2% of our issued and outstanding Class A common shares as of August 28, 2019.

 

·If the Offer is fully subscribed at the maximum Purchase Price of U.S.$15.50 per Class A Common Share and we do not exercise our right to purchase any additional shares, we will have approximately 112,657,549 Class A Common Shares outstanding following the purchase of Class A Common Shares tendered in the Offer. If the Offer is fully subscribed at the minimum Purchase Price of U.S.$13.05 per Class A Common Share and we do not exercise our right to purchase any additional shares, we will have approximately 108,327,429 Class A Common Shares outstanding following the purchase of Class A Common Shares tendered in the Offer.

 

·Assuming that the Offer is fully subscribed and that we purchase 27,394,636 Class A Common Shares in the Offer at the minimum Purchase Price, the Offer will increase the proportional holdings of (i) our directors and executive officers (excluding our chairman Mr. Rubens Ometto Silveira Mello) to. approximately 2.4% and (ii) our chairman Mr. Rubens Ometto Silveira Mello to approximately 18.0% of the total number of outstanding Class A Common Shares as of August 28, 2019. Assuming that the

Offer is fully subscribed and that we purchase 23,064,516 Class A Common Shares in the Offer at the maximum Purchase Price, the Offer will increase the proportional holdings of (x) our directors and executive officers (excluding our chairman Mr. Rubens Ometto Silveira Mello) to approximately 2.3% and (y) our chairman Mr. Rubens Ometto Silveira Mello to approximately 17.3% of the total number of outstanding Class A Common Shares as of August 28, 2019.
