Kapitalo entities tied to Aura Minerals (AUGO) settle swaps, adjust BDR and lending positions
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Aura Minerals director-linked entities reported several derivative transactions involving Brazilian Depositary Receipts (BDRs) and cash-settled total return swaps tied to Aura Minerals Common Shares. All positions are held by entities managed by Kapitalo Investimentos Ltda., which may be deemed indirectly beneficially owned by director Bruno Sousa Mauad.
On June 18–19, 2026, Kapitalo-managed clients settled two cash-settled total return swaps, each referencing Aura Minerals BDRs, at settlement prices of $20.68 and $20.86 per BDR. The filing also shows securities lending agreements under which title to certain securities temporarily transferred to counterparties, while clients may still be deemed beneficial owners because the arrangements can be discontinued at any time.
In addition, a Kapitalo-managed entity bought 200 BDRs at $21.25 in an open-market purchase. Each BDR represents one-third of a Common Share. After these transactions, indirect positions reported through BDRs and related derivatives remain significant, but the filing reflects a net reduction in derivative exposure combined with small net BDR purchases.
