This initiative was officially initiated on March 31, 2025, offering cash to holders of these securities.
By the expiration date, an impressive portion of the notes were tendered. Approximately $104,987,000, or 48.72% of the total principal outstanding for the 2027 notes, was validly tendered. In addition, around $289,279,000, representing 72.23% of the total principal for the 2028 notes, was also successfully tendered. These figures indicate a robust response from investors, reflecting their confidence in Nexa's financial management.
