NYSE Last Reported Sale Price of the ADSs on March 21, 2019:

 

US$15.38 per ADS.

Use of Proceeds:

GLAI and the selling securityholder of the ADSs (MOBI Fundo de Investimento em Ações (“MOBI”)) will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the ADSs in the Borrowed ADS Offering described below. However, MOBI will receive a periodic loan fee, payable semiannually, for the lending of the borrowed ADSs at a rate of 0.75% per annum on the value of the borrowed ADSs that have been on-lent or are the subject of a derivative transaction. See “Use of Proceeds” in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement for more information.

The Issuer of the Notes estimates that the net proceeds from the Notes Offering will be approximately US$281.2 million (or US$324.0 million if the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Notes in full), after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and estimated offering expenses payable by the Issuer. The Issuer of the Notes will directly or indirectly transfer the proceeds of the Notes Offering to GLAI or any of its subsidiaries, including by way of (i) the purchase of warrants to be held by the Issuer of the Notes to acquire Preferred Shares underlying the ADSs issuable upon exchange of the Notes, (ii) paying the cost of the capped call transactions that the Issuer of the Notes entered into with one or more of the initial purchasers of the Notes Offering or affiliates thereof (the “option counterparties”) and (iii) onlending of the remainder of the funds to GLAI and its affiliates.

GLAI intends to use the net proceeds of the Notes Offering for general corporate purposes, including liability management. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional Notes, the Issuer of the Notes expects to enter into additional capped call transactions with the option counterparties and for onlending of the remainder of the funds to GLAI and its affiliates for use as described above. See “Use of Proceeds” in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement.

BORROWED ADS OFFERING

Borrowed ADSs Offered:

Up to 14,000,000 ADSs (representing 28,000,000 Preferred Shares), which MOBI has agreed to loan to one of the underwriters for the Borrowed ADS Offering or its affiliate (the “ADS Borrower”) pursuant to an ADS lending agreement (the “ADS Lending Agreement”). GLAI is not issuing any Preferred Shares represented by the borrowed ADSs. The ADS Borrower has informed GLAI that it or its affiliate intends to use the short position created by the ADS loans and the concurrent short sales of the borrowed ADSs to facilitate privately negotiated derivatives transactions related to the Notes.

The borrowed ADSs offered pursuant to the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement and Prospectus may be offered for sale in transactions, including block sales, in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions or otherwise. 5,202,935 of the borrowed ADSs (the “initial borrowed ADSs”) are being initially sold at US$15.00 per ADS concurrently with the pricing of the Notes, and the remaining borrowed ADSs may subsequently be sold at prevailing market prices at the time of sale or at negotiated prices.
