Item 1. Security and Issuer.
This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D (the “Statement”) is being filed to amend the Statement as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2022, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated December 1, 2022, Amendment No. 2 dated January 5, 2023, Amendment No. 3 dated January 11, 2022, and Amendment No. 4 dated March 31, 2023, with respect to the Class A common shares, par value $0.00005 per share (the “Class A common shares”), of Arco Platform Ltd., an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), whose principal executive offices are located at Rua Augusta 2840, 9th floor, suite 91, Consolação, São Paulo – SP, 01412-100, Brazil. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Item of the Statement remains unchanged.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
No material change.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
No material change.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
On April 30, 2023, following price negotiations between the financial advisor to the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Special Committee”), General Atlantic L.P. (“General Atlantic”) and Dragoneer Investment Group, LLC (“Dragoneer” and, together with General Atlantic, the “Bidders”), the Bidding Group sent a revised non-binding proposal (the “Revised Proposal Letter”) to the Special Committee increasing the price per share that the Bidders are proposing to pay for all Class A common shares not beneficially owned by the Bidding Group to US$13.00 per share in cash (the “New Proposed Transaction”). Based on recent discussions among the Special Committee, the Bidders and their advisors, the Special Committee has agreed to negotiate definitive agreements. No assurance can be made that a transaction will be consummated on the terms set forth in the Revised Proposal Letter, or at all, and the Bidders' New Proposed Transaction remains subject to completion of confirmatory due diligence, execution of definitive documentation and other customary conditions. The Founders have not participated or been engaged in any discussions related to the purchase price proposed by the Bidders, nor have the Founders provided any input or expressed any opinion regarding any price. A copy of the Revised Proposal Letter is attached at Exhibit 4 hereto, and incorporated by reference herein.
On April 30, 2023, the Bidders entered into an amendment to the Joint Bidding Agreement (the “JBA Amendment”). Pursuant to the JBA Amendment, the Bidders agreed that the Joint Bidding Agreement shall terminate upon the later of (i) May 29, 2023, provided that at least one party has given 5 calendar days prior written notice of termination, and (ii) in the event that a definitive investment agreement is entered into with the Company, the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereunder. If no party provides notice of termination at least 5 calendar days prior to May 29, 2023 and the Transaction has not been consummated, the Joint Bidding Agreement automatically renews for a 30-day period and for successive 30-day periods thereafter at the expiration of each 30-day extension period provided no party has given notice of termination at least 5 days prior to expiration of such 30-day extension period (if such notice is given, the Joint Bidding Agreement will terminate upon the expiration of such 30-day extension period). The JBA Amendment is attached at Exhibit 5 hereto, and incorporated by reference herein. The Joint Bidding Agreement remains otherwise unchanged.
The Reporting Persons do not intend to update additional disclosures regarding the Proposal (as modified by the above disclosure) unless and until a definitive agreement has been reached, or unless disclosure is otherwise required under applicable U.S. securities laws.
CUSIP No. G04553106 | SCHEDULE 13D | Page 18 of 24 |
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
No material change.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to the Issuer.
Item 6 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The information disclosed under Item 4 above is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 6.
Except as described above or elsewhere in this Statement or incorporated by reference in this Statement, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between the Reporting Persons or, to the best of their knowledge, any of the persons named in Schedule A hereto and any other person with respect to any securities of the Company, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or losses, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
