Under the share buyback program, the buybacks may be made from time-to-time in the open market and pursuant to negotiated purchases in compliance with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the \u201cExchange Act\u201d).<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Company expects to finance the purchases with own cash balances derived from retained and future earnings. Just as a reference, at the closing share price of May 10, 2023 (US$15.01, or approximately R$75.00 at the current foreign exchange rate), the program would amount to buybacks of R$37.5 million in total, which would be equivalent to 18.3% of the consolidated Adjusted Net Income of 2022 (R$204.9 million).<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Mr. Carlos Freitas, Chief Financial and Investor Relations Officer of Vitru, commented: \u201cThis share buyback program reflects our confidence in the long-term growth prospects of Vitru, as well as our commitment to increasing shareholder value.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Under the share buyback program, buybacks may be made from time-to-time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades and\/or through other legally permissible means, depending on the market conditions, in compliance with applicable rules and regulations, including Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. The specific prices, numbers of shares and timing of buyback transactions will be determined by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion. In any event, buybacks are subject to market conditions, available liquidity, cash flow, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The Board of Directors will review the share buyback program periodically, and may authorize adjustment of its terms and size. The share buyback program does not obligate the Company or any agent to acquire any particular amount of common shares, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>About Vitru<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Vitru is the leading pure distance learning education group in the postsecondary distance learning market in Brazil.
