Exhibit 99.1
S&P Global Ratings assigns a “BrAA-/Stable” credit rating to Vitru Brasil
Florianópolis, Brazil, November 14, 2022 – Vitru Limited (Nasdaq: VTRU) (“Vitru”) announces that its wholly owned subsidiary, Vitru Brasil Empreendimentos, Participações e Comércio S.A (“Vitru Brasil”), a corporation (sociedade anônima) formed under the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil, has received its first local credit rating of “BrAA-”, attributed to the first issuance of debentures, from S&P Global Ratings. The perspective is stable.
