Thanks to a job well thought out and executed, we were able to take advantage of a market window with excellent conditions. The rates and spreads achieved in both series are among the lowest recorded in recent times in transactions of this type, and the demand far exceeded the amount offered. We appreciate the confidence of the financial markets and institutional investors in the Company and in the sustainability of its business model”.
