The offering of 32.6 million shares was priced at 18.15 reais each, a 1.5% discount to SmartFit's closing price of 18.42 reais on Monday, according to the document.

Patria said last week it was launching a secondary offering to reduce its 38.3% stake in Smartfit Escola de Ginastica e Danca SA, as the gym chain is formally known, after a positive run for the stock in recent months.

The private equity firm will now hold 32.72% of SmartFit's capital, said the gym chain, which is also backed by the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and Singapore state investor GIC.

Shares in SmartFit are up 35.5% so far this year. The firm listed in Sao Paulo in mid-2021, raising roughly 2.3 billion reais in an initial public offering priced at 23 reais per share.
