FLORIANÓPOLIS, Brazil, Dec. 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vitru Limited (Nasdaq: VTRU) (“Vitru”) today announced the closing of the rights offering shortfall option by Crescera pursuant to the investment agreement (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Investment Agreement”) entered into on September 27, 2022 with Crescera Growth Capital Master V Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia and Crescera Growth Capital V Coinvestimento III Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia (collectively, “Crescera”). As a result of the exercise of the option, Crescera has subscribed for 215,903 new common shares issued by Vitru (which, upon issuance, amount to approximately 0.6% of Vitru’s outstanding common shares) for a total consideration of US$3,458,766 or US$16.02 per common share.
