Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 6-K filing by Nu Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: NU, B3: NUBR33) reports a material fact announced on September 15, 2022. The Company is a publicly-held entity registered with the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) as a foreign issuer of class "A" securities and sponsor of the Level III Brazilian Depositary Receipts (BDR) program.
Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide a clear value for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. This report focuses exclusively on corporate governance and capital structure changes regarding the BDR program.
Material Changes
The Board of Directors has decided to initiate the process to discontinue the Level III BDR Program. The stated objective is to maximize efficiency and minimize redundancies associated with being publicly traded in multiple jurisdictions. The Company affirms this decision does not impact its long-term commitment to Brazil or Brazilian capital markets. Upon conclusion of the discontinuance, the Company will cancel its registration with the CVM as a foreign public issuer of category "A" securities.
Outlook and Management Commentary
Management has outlined a transition plan to be submitted to B3 for approval. Upon approval, Level III BDR holders will be offered three options during an initial 30-day decision period:
- Receipt of Class A Ordinary Shares: Holders may receive Class A shares traded on the NYSE (1 Class A share for every 6 Level III BDRs). This option requires holding at least 6 BDRs and maintaining an active US brokerage account.
- Receiving Level I BDRs: Holders may exchange Level III BDRs for Level I BDRs on a 1:1 basis. Participants in the NuSócios Client Program will receive these through the Comissario Mercantil under existing terms.
- Sale Facility: Holders may sell their BDRs or underlying assets on a Brazilian or US stock exchange via a facilitated sales process, subject to B3 and CVM approval.
The Company will continue to inform the market and shareholders regarding procedural details following B3 approval.
