VOTORANTIM CIMENTOS INTERNATIONAL S.A. ANNOUNCES EARLY RESULTS AND UPSIZING OF TENDER OFFER FOR ITS 7.250% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2041

LUXEMBOURG, May 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Votorantim Cimentos International S.A. ("VCI"), a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Votorantim Cimentos S.A. ("VCSA"), is announcing today the early tender results in connection with its previously announced tender offer for cash (the "Tender Offer") to purchase its 7.250% Senior Notes due 2041 (the "Notes") in an aggregate principal amount that would result in VCI paying aggregate total consideration (excluding accrued and unpaid interest) not to exceed U.S.$200 million. In addition, VCI is announcing today the upsizing of the Tender Offer to purchase for cash Notes in an aggregate principal amount that would result in VCI paying aggregate total consideration (excluding accrued and unpaid interest) not to exceed U.S.$221,789,220 million (the "New Maximum Purchase Amount"). The Notes are guaranteed by VCSA and Votorantim S.A. ("VSA"). The terms and conditions of the Tender Offer are described in VCI's Offer to Purchase, dated May 13, 2022 (the "Offer to Purchase") previously distributed to Holders.

Withdrawal rights for the Tender Offer expired as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 26, 2022 (the "Withdrawal Deadline"). As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, May 26, 2022 (the "Early Expiration Deadline"), the following principal amount of the Notes have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Tender Offer:

Holders who have validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) their Notes at or prior to the Early Expiration Deadline will be eligible to receive the Total Tender Consideration set forth in the table above, which includes an early tender payment of U.S.$30.00 per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer (the "Early Tender Payment"). In addition to the Total Tender Consideration, holders of Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) at or prior to the Early Expiration Deadline and accepted by VCI for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer will receive accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer from and including the most recent interest payment date to but excluding the early settlement date, which is currently expected to be June 1, 2022 (the "Early Settlement Date"). VCI's obligation to accept for purchase, and to pay for, the Notes that are validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Tender Offer is subject to the New Maximum Purchase Amount and the satisfaction or waiver by VCI of certain conditions to the Tender Offer set forth in the Offer to Purchase.

Although the Tender Offer is scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 10, 2022, because, as of the Early Expiration Deadline, holders of the Notes have validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) Notes in an amount representing an aggregate total consideration (excluding accrued and unpaid interest) that is equal to the New Maximum Purchase Amount, VCI does not expect to accept for purchase tenders of the Notes following the Early Expiration Deadline.

King, the information and tender agent for the Tender Offer (the "Information and Tender Agent").  Requests for copies of the Offer to Purchase should be directed to the Information and Tender Agent, (i) banks and brokers calls, at +1 212 269 5550 (collect), (ii) all other calls, at +1 (800) 628 8538 (toll free U.S. only) or (iii) via email, at [email protected].
