FORM OF INSTRUCTIONS AS TO USE OF VITRU LIMITED NONTRANSFERABLE SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS CERTIFICATES

 

PLEASE CONSULT THE SUBSCRIPTION AND INFORMATION AGENT,
YOUR BANK OR BROKER FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

 

The following instructions relate to a rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) by Vitru Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), to the shareholders (the “holder” or “you”) of its Common Shares, par value US$0.00005 per share (the “Common Shares”), as described in the Company’s prospectus supplement dated October 24, 2022 (together with the base prospectus dated October 25, 2021, the “Prospectus”). On October 24, 2022, holders of our Common Shares as of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on October 21, 2022 (the “Record Date”) are receiving, at no charge, nontransferable subscription rights (each, a “Subscription Right”) to purchase Common Shares at a subscription price of US$16.02 per whole Common Share (the “Subscription Price”). Each shareholder will receive one Subscription Right for each six Common Shares owned on the Record Date and each Subscription Right will entitle its holder to purchase one Common Share at the Subscription Price, rounded down to the nearest whole Common Share (the “Subscription Right”).

 

The Subscription Rights will be evidenced by nontransferable subscription rights certificates (the “Rights Certificates”). The number of Subscription Rights to which you are entitled is printed on the face of your Rights Certificate.

 

We will not issue fractional shares, but rather will round down the aggregate number of shares you are entitled to receive to the nearest whole number, with the total exercise price being adjusted accordingly. Any excess subscription payments received by the Subscription Agent will be returned, without interest, as soon as practicable after the completion of the Rights Offering. The maximum number of Common Shares to be issued in the Rights Offering shall be the number of Common Shares issued and outstanding on the Record Date divided by six, rounded down to the next whole Common Share. The Subscription Rights do not entitle holders to an oversubscription privilege.

 

You are not required to exercise any or all of your Subscription Rights. However, if you do not exercise your Subscription Rights and the Rights Offering is completed, the number of our Common Shares you own will not change but your percentage ownership of our total outstanding voting shares will decrease assuming that Common Shares are purchased by other shareholders in the Rights Offering. Your percentage ownership of our voting stock may also decrease if you do not exercise your Subscription Rights in full. Please see the discussion of risk factors related to the Rights Offering, including dilution, under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Prospectus Supplement.

 

Expiration Date

 

THE SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AND WILL HAVE NO VALUE AT 5:00 P.M., EASTERN TIME, ON NOVEMBER 17, 2022, SUBJECT TO EXTENSION OR EARLIER TERMINATION (THE “EXPIRATION DATE”). YOUR RIGHTS CERTIFICATE AND SUBSCRIPTION PAYMENT FOR EACH RIGHT THAT IS EXERCISED PURSUANT TO THE SUBSCRIPTION RIGHT MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE SUBSCRIPTION AGENT ON OR BEFORE THE EXPIRATION DATE. ONCE YOU HAVE EXERCISED YOUR SUBSCRIPTION RIGHT, SUCH EXERCISE MAY NOT BE REVOKED, EVEN IF YOU LATER LEARN INFORMATION THAT YOU CONSIDER TO BE UNFAVORABLE TO THE EXERCISE OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS. SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS NOT EXERCISED PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE OF THE RIGHTS OFFERING WILL EXPIRE WITHOUT VALUE.

 

Exhibit 99.3 - 1

 

If you do not exercise your Subscription Rights prior to that time, your Subscription Rights will expire and will no longer be exercisable. We will not be required to issue Common Shares to you if the Subscription Agent receives your Rights Certificate(s) or your subscription payment after the Expiration Date, regardless of when the Rights Certificate(s) and subscription payment were sent. If you send your Rights Certificate(s) and subscription payment by mail, we recommend that you send them by overnight courier or registered mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested, and that a sufficient number of days be allowed to ensure delivery to the Subscription Agent and clearance of payment before the expiration of the subscription period. See “The Rights Offering—Expiration of the Rights Offering and Extensions, Amendments and Termination” in the Prospectus Supplement.

 

The shares issued upon exercise of the Subscription Rights will be delivered as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date, and after all pro rata allocations and adjustments have been completed.
