PROXY STATEMENT

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

July 28, 2020

GENERAL INFORMATION

This Proxy Statement is being provided to solicit proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors of Atento S.A. (the “Company,” “Atento,” “we” or “us”) for use at (i) an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (the “EGM”) of the Company, to be held starting at 11:30 a.m. Central European Time on July 28, 2020 at the offices of CM Law at 68 rue Marie Adélaïde, L-2128 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and (ii) the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting” and together with the EGM, the “Meetings”) to be held starting immediately after the EGM at the offices of CM Law at 68 rue Marie Adélaïde, L-2128 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and any adjournment or postponement thereof.

We expect to mail this notice on or about July 1, 2020. On that same date, we will also mail a printed copy of this Proxy Statement, together with the Company’s stand-alone and consolidated annual accounts for the financial year ended December 31, 2019, a proposed draft of the amended and restated articles of association of the Company and Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Annual Report”), to shareholders as of June 26, 2020 (the “Record Date”).

Foreign Private Issuer

We are a “foreign private issuer” within the meaning of Rule 3b-4 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and as a result, we are not required to mandatorily comply with U.S. federal proxy requirements.

Who May Vote

Only holders of record of our ordinary shares at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to notice of the Meetings. Holders of record of our ordinary shares at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Meetings. On the Record Date, 71,179,765 ordinary shares were issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Meetings and 4,226,592 additional ordinary shares were held as treasury shares, being noted that according to Article 430-18 of the Luxembourg law dated 10 August, 1915 concerning commercial companies, as amended from time to time, voting rights in respect of the shares held by the Company shall be suspended and such repurchased shares shall not be taken into account when calculating the presence quorum and majority. Each ordinary share not held in treasury is entitled to one vote at the Annual Meeting and the EGM.

What Constitutes a Quorum

No quorum is required for any ordinary resolutions to be considered at the Annual Meeting.

A quorum of more than 50% of the Company’s issued shares present or represented is required for resolutions to be considered at the EGM. If the aforementioned quorum is not met, the EGM may be reconvened by the Board and at the reconvened meeting no quorum will be required.


Broker Non-Votes and Abstentions

Broker non-votes occur when brokers holding shares in street name for beneficial owners do not receive instructions from the beneficial owners about how to vote their shares and the broker is unable to vote the shares in its discretion in the absence of an instruction. An abstention occurs when a shareholder withholds its vote on a particular matter by checking the “ABSTAIN” box on the proxy card.

Under the current New York Stock Exchange rules as applicable to foreign private issuers, your broker will not be able to vote your shares with respect to any of the proposals or other matters considered at the Meetings, in each case unless you have provided instructions to your broker. We strongly encourage you to provide instructions to your broker to vote your shares and exercise your right as a shareholder. A vote will not be cast in cases where a broker has not received an instruction from the beneficial owner.

With respect to all of the proposals or other matters considered at the Annual Meeting, only those votes cast “FOR” or “AGAINST” are counted for the purposes of determining the number of votes cast with respect to each such proposal. Abstentions are not considered votes cast and have no effect on the outcome of any of the proposals.

With respect to the proposal or other matters considered at the EGM, only those votes cast “FOR” or “AGAINST” are counted for the purposes of determining the number of votes cast with respect to the proposal. Abstentions are not considered votes cast and have no effect on the outcome of any of the proposals.

Voting Process and Revocation of Proxies

If you are a shareholder of record, and you received your proxy materials by mail, you can vote by mail by marking, dating, signing and returning the proxy card in the postage-paid envelope. Submitting your proxy by mail will not affect your ability to attend the Meetings in-person and vote at the Meetings.

If your shares are held in “street name,” meaning you are a beneficial owner with your shares held through a bank or brokerage firm, you will receive instructions from your bank or brokerage firm. You must follow the instructions of the holder of record in order for your shares to be voted.

The Company will retain an independent tabulator to receive and tabulate the proxies.

If you submit a proxy and direct how your shares will be voted, the individuals named as proxies will vote your shares in the manner you indicate. If you submit a proxy but do not direct how your shares will be voted, the individuals named as proxies will vote your shares “FOR” each of the proposals identified herein.

It is not expected that any other matters will be brought before the Meetings. If, however, other matters are properly presented, the individuals named as proxies will vote in accordance with their discretion with respect to such matters, to the extent that such discretion is duly provided for by proxy in accordance with Luxembourg law.

A shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised at the Meetings by:

 

   

attending the Meetings and voting in person;

 

   

delivering a written notice, at the address given below, bearing a date later than that indicated on the proxy card, but prior to the date of the Meetings, stating that the proxy is revoked; or

 

   

signing and delivering a subsequently dated proxy card prior to the vote at the Meetings.

You should send any written notice or new proxy card to Atento S.A., c/o Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717. If you are a registered holder you may request a new proxy card by contacting our Investor Relations Department at +55 113 2935 926 or shay.chor@atento.com.

 

2


Any shareholder owning shares in street name may change or revoke previously given voting instructions by contacting the bank or brokerage firm holding the shares or by obtaining a legal proxy from such bank or brokerage firm and voting in person at the Meetings. Your last vote, prior to or at the Meetings is the vote that will be counted.

Attendance at the Meetings

Only shareholders or their legal proxy holders are invited to attend the Meetings. All shareholders planning to attend the Meetings in person must contact our Investor Relations Department at +55 113 2935 926 or shay.chor@atento.com by July 17, 2020 to reserve a seat. For admission, shareholders should come to the Meetings check-in area no less than 15 minutes before the Meetings are scheduled to begin. To be admitted to the Meetings, you will need a form of photo identification (such as a driver’s license or passport), and if you hold your shares in street name you must also bring valid proof of ownership of your shares on the Record Date or a valid legal proxy from the holder of record. If you are a shareholder of record, you will be admitted to the Meetings only if we are able to verify your shareholder status by checking your name against the list of registered shareholders on the Record Date. If you hold your shares in street name through a bank or brokerage firm, a brokerage statement reflecting your ownership as of the Record Date or a letter from a bank or broker confirming your ownership as of the Record Date is sufficient proof of ownership to be admitted to the Meetings. Registration will begin at 11:00 a.m Central European Time, and the EGM will begin at 11:30 a.m. Central European Time and the Annual Meeting will start immediately thereafter.

No cameras, recording equipment, electronic devices (including cell phones) or large bags, briefcases or packages will be permitted in the Meetings. Attendees may be asked to pass through a security check prior to entering the Meetings.

Solicitation of Proxies

We will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Meetings. We may solicit by mail, telephone, personal contact and electronic means and arrangements are made with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to send the Letter, and if requested, other proxy materials, to beneficial owners. Upon request, we will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses. In addition, our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies, either in-person or by telephone, facsimile or written or electronic mail (without additional compensation). Shareholders are encouraged to return their proxies promptly.

PROPOSAL WITH RESPECT TO EGM AGENDA ITEM NO. 1:

APPROVAL OF SHARE CONVERSION AND AMENDMENT OF ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION OF

THE COMPANY

It is proposed to convert the seventy-five million four hundred and six thousand three hundred and fifty-seven (75,406,357) ordinary shares without nominal value, representing the current entire share capital of the Company, into fifteen million (15,000,000) ordinary shares without nominal value using a ratio of conversion of 5.027090466672970 (the “Conversion”), and subsequently to amend article 5.1 of the articles of association of the Company to read as follows (the “Amendment”):

5.1 The Company’s share capital is set at thirty-three thousand nine hundred and seventy-eight euro eighty-five cents (EUR 33,978.85), represented by fifteen million (15,000,000) shares without nominal value.”

It is subsequently proposed to authorize the Board of Directors to amend accordingly the shares register of the Company whereby in case the new amount of shares to be held by a shareholder as a result of the Conversion would lead to such shareholder holding a fractional number of shares, since as per the article 7.2 of the articles of association of the Company, the Company cannot issue fractional shares, such new amount of new shares to be held by such shareholder will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares and the number of shares held by the Company in treasury will be adjusted accordingly (the “Authorization”).

We are proposing to effect the Conversion and the Amendment in response to the notification received from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that the Company’s ordinary shares did not meet the minimum price threshold required under Section 802.01(C) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual since they traded below an average closing price of $1.00 per share over a consecutive 30-trading day period. Although the Company´s ordinary shares have since resumed trading above the minimum threshold in the last 30 days, this proposal aims at providing a structural solution to allow the Company to remain compliant with NYSE’s listing requirements in the long term.

At the EGM, the shareholders will be asked to approve the following resolution:

Resolved: The EGM hereby approves the Conversion, the Amendment and the Authorization.

 

3


Vote Required and Board Recommendation

The approval of the amendment of the articles of association requires the affirmative vote of at least two thirds of the shares present or represented at the EGM provided that a quorum of more than 50% of the Company’s issued shares is present or represented. If the aforementioned presence quorum is not met, the EGM may be reconvened by the Board of Directors and at the reconvened meeting no presence quorum will be required.

Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the Conversion, the Amendment and the Authorization.

APPROVAL OF ALLOCATION OF ANNUAL RESULTS

The Annual Meeting will then be asked to approve the following resolution:

Resolved: The Annual Meeting hereby acknowledges the profit for the financial year ended December 31, 2019 and resolves to (i) allocate the amount of EUR 67.47 to the legal reserve of the Company out of the profit of EUR 1,071,315.52 and (ii) to carry forward the remaining amount of the profit to the next financial year.

PROPOSAL WITH RESPECT TO ANNUAL MEETING AGENDA ITEM NO. 5:

APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT OF THE EXISTING 2014 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN

The Company adopted a 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) for the purpose of enhancing the profitability and value of the Company for the benefit of its shareholders, by enabling the Company to offer Eligible Individuals (as defined in the Incentive Plan) cash and share-based incentives, in order to attract, retain and reward such individuals and strengthen the mutuality of interests between such individuals and the Company’s shareholders.

The provisions of section 4.1 of the Incentive Plan establish, among others, that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (as defined in the Incentive Plan) that may be issued or used for reference purposes or with respect to which Awards (as defined in the Incentive Plan) may be granted under the Incentive Plan shall not exceed 7,300,000 shares, as well as that the maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options (as defined in the Incentive Plan) may be granted under the Incentive Plan shall be 7,300,000 shares (the “Share Limitation”).

The Board of Directors approved the increase the Share Limitation, as established by the provisions of section 4.1 of the Incentive Plan, from 7,300,000 shares to 17,300,000 shares (the “Share Limitation Increase”), and the amendment of section 4.1 of the Incentive Plan (the “Amendment of the Incentive Plan”), so that it reads as follows:

4.1 Shares. (a) The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued or used for reference purposes or with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan shall not exceed 17,300,000 shares (subject to any increase or decrease pursuant to Section 4.2) (the ’’Share Reserve”), which may be either authorized and unissued Common Stock or Common Stock held in or acquired for the treasury of the Company or both. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options may be granted under the Plan shall be 17,300,000 shares. With respect to Stock Appreciation Rights settled in Common Stock, upon settlement, only the number of shares of Common Stock delivered to a Participant (based on the difference between the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock subject to such Stock Appreciation Right on the date such Stock Appreciation Right is exercised and the exercise price of each Stock Appreciation Right on the date such Stock Appreciation Right was awarded) shall count against the aggregate and individual share limitations set forth under Sections 4 1(a) and 4 1(b), If any Option, Stock Appreciation Right or Other Stock-Based Awards granted under the Plan expires, terminates or is canceled for any reason without having been exercised in full, the number of shares of Common Stock underlying any unexercised Award shall again be available for the purpose of Awards under the Plan, If any shares of Restricted Stock, Performance Awards or Other Stock-Based Awards denominated in shares of Common Stock awarded under the Plan to a Participant are forfeited for any reason, the number of forfeited shares of Restricted Stock, Performance Awards or Other Stock-Based Awards denominated in shares of Common Stock shall again be available for purposes of Awards under the Plan If a Tandem Stock Appreciation Right or a Limited Stock Appreciation Right is granted in tandem with an Option, such grant shall only apply once against the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan Any Award under the Plan settled in cash shall not be counted against the foregoing maximum share limitations. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to any Award of Stock Options, or Stock Appreciation Rights which may be granted under the Plan during any fiscal year of the Company to any Participant shall be 160,000 shares (which shall be subject to any further increase or decrease pursuant to Section 4.2). The maximum grant date fair value of any Award granted to any director during any calendar year shall not exceed $5,000,000.”

In accordance with the provisions of section 12.1 of the Incentive Plan, no amendment may be made that would notably increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Plan without the approval of the holders of the Company’s Common Stock entitled to vote in accordance with applicable law.
