<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 9pt">In 2018, Arcos Dorados Holdings Inc. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;)
contracted to manufacture products that contain certain &ldquo;conflict minerals&rdquo; (as defined in Section 1, Item 1.01(d)(3)
of Form SD) that may be necessary to the functionality or production of such products. These products include certain toys that
have components that contain tin and gold.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 9pt">The Company has conducted in good faith a reasonable
country of origin inquiry regarding such conflict minerals. This reasonable country of origin inquiry was reasonably designed to
determine whether any of the conflict minerals contained in its products originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or
an adjoining country, or are from recycled or scrap sources.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 9pt">As part of this inquiry, the Company identified all
of its suppliers with which it contracted to manufacture products that could have contained conflict minerals in the year ended
December 31, 2018. The Company sent conflict minerals questionnaires to, and received responses from, all of these suppliers. Two
of these suppliers indicated that some of the products they manufacture for the Company contain certain conflict minerals. The
Company subsequently sought additional information and clarifications from these suppliers for the purposes of its reasonable country
of origin inquiry.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 9pt">As a result of this reasonable country of origin inquiry,
the Company has no reason to believe that any necessary &ldquo;conflict minerals&rdquo; contained in its products may have originated
in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country.</P>
