Per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of applicable Notes, validly tendered and accepted for purchase, plus Accrued Interest (as defined in the Offer to Purchase).

The 2023 Notes Tender Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 22, 2022, or any other date and time to which Arcos Dorados extends the 2023 Notes Tender Offer (such date and time, as it may be extended with respect to the 2023 Notes Tender Offer, the “2023 Notes Expiration Time”). Holders of 2023 Notes must validly tender their 2023 Notes at or prior to the 2023 Notes Expiration Time and not validly withdraw them at or prior to the applicable Withdrawal Deadline (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) in order to be eligible to receive the 2023 Notes Total Consideration (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) plus Accrued Interest for such 2023 Notes. Tendered 2023 Notes may be validly withdrawn at any time at or prior to the Withdrawal Deadline but not thereafter.

The 2027 Notes Tender Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on May 13, 2022, or any other date and time to which Arcos Dorados extends the 2027 Notes Tender Offer (such date and time, as it may be extended with respect to the 2027 Notes Tender Offer, the “2027 Notes Expiration Time” and each of the 2023 Notes Expiration Time and 2027 Notes Expiration time, an “Expiration Time”).

Holders of 2027 Notes must validly tender their 2027 Notes prior to or at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 29, 2022 (such date and time, as it may be extended with respect to the 2027 Notes, the “Early Tender Date”) and not validly withdraw their 2027 Notes prior to the applicable Withdrawal Deadline, to be eligible to receive the 2027 Notes Total Consideration (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) plus Accrued Interest for such 2027 Notes. If Holders of 2027 Notes validly tender 2027 Notes after the Early Tender Date but prior to or at the 2027 Notes Expiration Time, such Holders will only be eligible to receive the Late Tender Offer Consideration (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) plus Accrued Interest. Tendered 2027 Notes may be validly withdrawn at any time at or prior to the Withdrawal Deadline but not thereafter.

The obligation of Arcos Dorados to purchase Notes in the Tender Offers is conditioned on the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including, without limitation, the Financing Condition, described in the Offer Documents. Arcos Dorados reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to amend or terminate any of the Tender Offers at any time.

With respect to the 2027 Notes Tender Offer, Arcos Dorados will only accept for purchase 2027 Notes in an aggregate principal amount that will not exceed the 2027 Notes Maximum Purchase Amount of U.S.$150,000,000. The purchase of either series of Notes is not conditioned upon the purchase of the other series of Notes. However, any 2027 Notes validly tendered in the 2027 Notes Tender Offer and accepted for purchase will be accepted for purchase by Arcos Dorados based on the 2027 Notes Maximum Purchase Amount and may be subject to proration, as more fully described in the Offer to Purchase.

The Tender Offers are being made in connection with a proposed offering of U.S. dollar denominated senior notes (the “New Notes”) to be issued by Arcos Dorados B.V., a subsidiary of Arcos Dorados (the “Proposed New Notes Offering”). The Proposed New Notes Offering will be exempt from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

If an offering of New Notes is announced, tendering Holders who wish to tender their 2023 Notes or 2027 Notes for cash and also subscribe for the New Notes should quote a unique identifier code corresponding to the New Notes being subscribed (“Unique Identifier Code”), which can be obtained by contacting any of the Dealer Managers, in their acceptance to DTC through the DTC Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”) or Electronic Acceptance Instruction. A Unique Identifier Code is not required for a Holder to tender its Notes, but if a tendering Holder wishes to subscribe for the New Notes, such Holder should obtain a Unique Identifier Code from a Dealer Manager and enter the Unique Identifier Code in its ATOP.

If the proposed offering of New Notes is announced, Arcos Dorados will review tender instructions received on or prior to the pricing date of the New Notes, and may give priority to those investors tendering with Unique Identifier Codes in connection with the allocation of New Notes. However, no assurances can be given that any Holder that tenders its Notes will be given an allocation of New Notes at the levels it may subscribe for, or at all.
