Cogna Educação S.A. Extends Tender Offer for Vasta Platform Shares

Brazil‐based education company Cogna Educação S.A. (B3: COGN3) has announced a further extension of its all‑cash tender offer to purchase all outstanding Class A common shares of Vasta Platform Limited (Nasdaq: VSTA) for US $5.00 per share. The original offer, launched September 17 2025 and previously amended, had been set to expire at 5:00 p.m. EDT on October 28 2025. Its new expiration date is now 5:00 p.m. EDT on December 10 2025, unless further extended or terminated earlier. The extension is designed to allow more time for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to complete its review of the tender‑offer documents, a process affected recently by the U.S. government shutdown. Shareholders of Vasta who already tendered do not need to re‑tender or take any action in light of the extension. As of 5:00 p.m. EDT on October 28, 2025, 15,379,240 shares — representing approximately 96.3 % of Vasta’s outstanding Class A common shares — had been validly tendered and not withdrawn. Completion of the transaction remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all offer conditions described in the amended Offer to Purchase and related Schedule TO filing with the SEC. Shareholders are advised to review the full tender‑offer materials and consult the SEC’s website for free copies of the filings. #Cogna #VastaPlatform #TenderOffer #MergersAndAcquisitions #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
