Item 8.01. Other Events.

On January 7, 2021, MercadoLibre, Inc. ("MercadoLibre" or the "Company") issued a press release describing the Company's entry into privately negotiated transactions to repurchase approximately $440 million principal amount of its outstanding 2.00% convertible senior notes due 2028 (the "2028 notes") at a price based in part on the volume-weighted average price of MercadoLibre's common stock during a price determination period following execution of the repurchase agreements (the "Transactions"). Calculated on the basis of the closing price of MercadoLibre's common stock on January 6, 2021, the aggregate purchase price payable would have been approximately $1,589.2 million (though the actual price ultimately paid will depend on prevailing prices for MercadoLibre's common stock during the pricing period and may be higher or lower).

The closing of the Transactions, which is anticipated to occur over a period ending on January 26, 2021, is conditioned upon the pricing of MercadoLibre's previously announced offering for cash of guaranteed senior notes. Following such closing, approximately $440 million principal amount of the 2028 notes will remain outstanding.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
