Afya Limited announced on October 22, 2025, a significant move to optimize its capital structure by entering into a Share Repurchase Agreement with SBLA Holdco LLC, an affiliate of Softbank. Under this agreement, Afya will repurchase all 150,000 Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Shares.
The repurchase of these preferred shares, which have a nominal value of US$0.00005 each, will be executed for a total consideration of US$150,000,000. This action simplifies Afya's equity structure and reduces potential dilution from convertible instruments.
Concurrently, Afya Participações S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary, fully repaid its second issuance of debentures, amounting to R$1,000,000,000. This repayment further reduces the company's financial liabilities and strengthens its balance sheet.
These combined actions demonstrate Afya's disciplined capital allocation strategy and its focus on improving financial efficiency. The reduction in both preferred equity and debt obligations is expected to enhance the company's financial flexibility and potentially improve its earnings profile.
