Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the impact of the Total Return Swap positions (approx. 30M shares) on the company's hedging strategy and potential dilution.
- Confirm the rationale for the conversion of treasury shares into ADRs and the associated pricing (R$ 14.54) versus the swap price (R$ 11.60).
- Review the full Q1 2020 earnings report for actual revenue, profit, and cash flow data, as this filing does not contain those figures.
- Check for any subsequent filings regarding the settlement of the swaps maturing on April 17, 2020.
