Material Changes and Conditions
The tender offers are subject to a critical Financing Condition. The obligation to purchase the notes is contingent upon the pricing and receipt of proceeds from a new debt offering (the "New Notes") by Suzano Netherlands B.V. The new debt must generate sufficient net proceeds to fund the repurchase of the tendered notes, including any premiums and accrued interest.
If this financing condition is not satisfied or waived, Suzano reserves the right to terminate the offers, and tendered notes will be returned to holders without compensation.
Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
Management Commentary: The company is actively managing its capital structure by refinancing existing debt. The transaction is structured to allow for the replacement of current obligations with new debt securities.
Risks and Contingencies:
- Financing Risk: The transaction is not guaranteed; it depends on successful execution of the new debt offering.
- Market Risk: The final purchase price is variable, determined by U.S. Treasury yields on September 8, 2025.
- Forward-Looking Statements: The release includes standard disclaimers regarding risks related to operations in Brazil, the global economy, capital markets, raw material price volatility, and global competition.
