INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Shareholders, Board of Directors and Management of

Sinqia S.A. and Subsidiaries

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Sinqia S.A. and subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, and the related consolidated statements of income, of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the “Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements” section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Other matter

The accompanying balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and the related statements of income, of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the year then ended were not audited, reviewed, or compiled by us, and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on them.

Responsibilities of Management for the financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

3

In preparing the financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern at least, but not limited to, twelve months from the end of the reporting period, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless Management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

• Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by Management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

1.4 New standards, amendments and interpretations

In preparing these financial statements, the Company’s Management considered, when applicable, the new revisions and interpretations of the IFRSs below, issued by the IASB, which are mandatorily effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022.

Standard	Description	Effective date and transitional provision
IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts and Amendments to IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts	IFRS 17 supersedes IFRS 4 - Insurance Contracts and establishes, among others, the requirements to be applied by issuers of insurance and reinsurance contracts in the standard scope, and for reinsurance contracts maintained, upon recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure related to insurance and reinsurance contracts.	January 1, 2023, retrospective application with specific rules.
Disclosure of Accounting Policies – Amendments to IAS 1 and Practice Statement 2	In replacement of the requirement for disclosure of significant accounting policies, the amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements establish that accounting policies must be disclosed when they are material. The amendment provides for guidance to determine such materiality, among other matters.	January 1, 2023, prospective application for the amendments to IAS 1.
Definition of Accounting Estimates – Amendments to IAS 8	Pursuant to the amendments to IAS 8, the definition of “change in accounting estimate” ceases to exist. As a replacement, a definition for the term “accounting estimates” was established: monetary amounts in the financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty.	January 1, 2023, prospective application.
Deferred Tax Related to Assets and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction – Amendments to IAS 12	The amendments narrowed the scope of the recognition exemption for deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities in paragraphs 15 and 24 of IAS 12 – Income Taxes so that it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences.	January 1, 2023, retrospective application with specific rules.

AS AT DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021

(In thousands of Brazilian reais – R$)

Pronouncement	Description	Effective date and transitional provision
Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback - Amendments to IFRS 16	Adds requirements that specify that the seller-lessee must subsequently measure the lease liability arising from the asset transfer – which fulfills the requirements of IFRS 15 to be accounted for as sale and leaseback so that it is not recognized as gain or loss relating to the right of use retained in the transaction.	January 1, 2024, retrospective application.
Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current / Non-current Liabilities with Covenants Amendments to IAS 1	The amendments establish that the liability must be classified as current when the entity has no right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability during at least twelve months after the reporting period. The amendments determine that the classification of a liability is not affected by the probability of exercising the right to defer settlement of the liability, among other provisions. Also, pursuant to the amendments, only covenants which compliance is mandatory before or at the end of the reporting period must affect the classification of a liability as current or noncurrent. Additional disclosures are also required by the amendments, including information on noncurrent liabilities with covenants.	January 1, 2024, retrospective application.

As regards standards effective beginning January 1, 2023, according to the assessments, the Company estimates that there are no material impacts upon initial application on its consolidated financial statements.

With respect to the standards that will come into effect beginning January 1, 2024, the Company is assessing the effects arising from the initial application on its consolidated financial statements.

2 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

Accounting estimates and judgments are continually assessed and are based on past experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are considered to be reasonable under the circumstances.

2.1 Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

Based on assumptions, the Company and its subsidiaries make forward-looking estimates. By definition, the resulting accounting estimates will seldom correspond to the respective actual results. The estimates and assumptions that pose a significant risk and would probably result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for the next fiscal year are as follows:

a) Goodwill impairment test

The Company and its subsidiaries test goodwill for impairment on annual basis, in accordance with the accounting policy set out in note 27. The recoverable amount of the Cash-Generating Unit (CGU) was determined based on the calculation of the value in use, based on estimates.

The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the assets and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the interest rate corresponding to the capital cost. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the loss amount is recognized in the statement of income.

All cash flow projections and discount rate were estimated on nominal basis. The main assumptions used to estimate the value in use are as follows:

✔ Revenues – revenues were projected between 2023 and 2032 considering the customer base growth (organic growth only);

✔ Operating costs and expenses – costs and expenses were projected in line with the Company's historical performance as well as with the historical revenue growth and efficiency gain;

✔ Capital investments – investments in capital goods were estimated considering the current IT infrastructure necessary to enable the offer of services, based on the Company’s history and projected growth;

✔ The estimated future cash flows were discounted at a discount rate of 13.53% p.a. in 2022 (12.28% p.a. in 2021);

✔ Perpetuity – growth in perpetuity was estimated at 2%, based on the long-term GDP obtained in the Focus report of the Central Bank of Brazil.

The key assumptions were based on the Company’s past performance and reasonable and reliable macroeconomics assumptions, based on financial market projections, documented and approved by the Company’s Management.

b) Income tax, social contribution and other taxes

The Company and its subsidiaries recognize deferred assets based on the differences between the carrying amount recognized in the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using the effective rates. The Company and its subsidiaries also recognize provisions as a result of circumstances where it is probable that additional tax amounts will be due. When the result of these matters is different from the amounts initially estimated and recorded, these differences affect current and deferred tax assets and liabilities in the year in which the final amount is determined.

(In thousands of Brazilian reais – R$)

The Company regularly reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets, considering the historical income and the projected future taxable income, according to a technical feasibility study.

c) Revenue recognition

The Company mainly recognizes revenue from software licensing, which comprises licensing fee, revenue from product maintenance and support services, customization, consulting and permanent advisory services.

Revenue is recognized to the extent the Company satisfies its performance obligations, upon transfer of the service agreed with the customer. A service is considered to be transferred when the customer obtains its control. For long-term contracts, the Company obtains formal evidence of the service acceptance by the customer.

Revenue related to software license is recognized after the software is made available to the customer, when its amount can be measured reliably (according to the terms and conditions of the contract); and it is probable that the future economic benefits will flow to the Company.

Revenue from customization and consulting services is recognized as services are provided, according to the respective contracts. Those cases where the service was provided but not yet billed are recorded as unbilled services in line item “Trade receivables” in current assets.

Service revenue is recognized in profit or loss as services are provided. Revenue is not recognized when there is significant uncertainty as to its realization.

d) Put option on non-controlling interests

Put options on non-controlling interests are recorded based on the gross obligation amount of the expected future exercise price discounted at present value (“redemption amount”) on the acquisition date and subsequently remeasured with impacts on profit or loss.

Revenue and future projected EBITIDA margin periodically reviewed are used to calculate the options, applying the EV/Net Revenue multiples set forth in a contract.

The key assumptions were based on the acquiree’s past performance and reasonable and reliable macroeconomics assumptions, in accordance with financial market projections.

3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

3.1 Financial risk factors

The Company has a financial department in charge of risk management, relying on the oversight of the Board of Directors, which is responsible for defining the policy, controlling the risks and managing financial instruments through control systems, which establish interest limits and define the allocation of resources with the financial institutions. The positions of all financial instruments, as well as the results obtained in relation to the proposed objectives, are presented and assessed on a monthly basis by the finance department and subject to the analysis of the Company’s Board of Directors.

a) Liquidity risk

The liquidity risk arises from the possibility of the Company and its subsidiaries not having sufficient funds to fulfill their commitments and settlement terms of their rights and obligations.

The Company’s and its subsidiaries’ liquidity and cash flow control is monitored daily by the Company’s management areas, so as to ensure that the operational generation of cash and previous funding, if necessary, are sufficient to maintain their scheduled commitments, not causing liquidity risks for the Company and its subsidiaries.

The Company manages the liquidity risk by maintaining appropriate reserves, bank credit lines and credit lines to raise borrowings it considers appropriate, through the continuous monitoring of projected and actual cash flows, and the combination of the maturity profiles of financial assets and financial liabilities.

Contractual maturity is based on the most recent date in which the Company and its subsidiaries must settle the related obligations:

Type	One year		Two years		Three years		Four years and thereafter		Total (i)
Debentures		74,500		64,050		61,959		36,147		236,656

b) Credit risk

The Company has a major credit risk concentration, which includes cash, banks, short-term investments and trade receivables. To ensure the security and diversification of these risks, we adopt objective criteria by maintaining current accounts and short-term investments in prime financial institutions only, with concentration below 35% per counterparty, thus mitigating the risk.

The difficulty in collecting the amounts for services provided to customers and sales of licenses is an important aspect to be considered. To minimize this credit risk, we implemented a strict control over the customer base and active default management, supported by clear service provision and license sales policies. Historically, the low default rate is immaterial, and there is no concentration of transactions with customers.

Also, the amount of the estimated loss on doubtful debts is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each year, reflecting the changes in the credit risk since the initial recognition of the respective financial instruments. This adjustment process ensures an accurate and up-to-date assessment of the Company’s credit risks.

c) Market risk

Interest and inflation rate risk: The interest rate risk arises from portion of the debt pegged to the CDI rate and short-term investments pegged to the CDI rate, which can adversely affect finance costs or finance income in case of unfavorable changes in interest and inflation rates.

Sensitivity analysis

The main risk linked to the Company’s operations is related to the fluctuation of the Interbank Deposit Certificate (CDI) rate for borrowings and financing.

The Company’s financial instruments are represented by cash and cash equivalents, securities and financial assets, trade receivables, trade payables, borrowings, financing and put options on non-controlling interests, and are stated at cost, plus income earned or charges incurred, which approximate their market values as at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

The main risks linked to short-term investments arises from fluctuations in the yield rates of the assets, such as investments in Bank Deposit Certificate (CDB) and repurchase transactions, subject to equivalent average interest rate ranging from 85.10% to 103.50% of the CDI rate.

Financing refers to debentures issued in 2019 and 2021. Under these conditions, the amount recorded is the closest to the market value of these financial instruments.

Three different scenarios were defined to verify the sensitivity of the index applied on the short-term investments to which the Company was exposed as at December 31, 2022. As at December 31, 2022, we prepared a projection of scenarios based on the annual average CDI rate to calculate our finance income in a scenario of decrease in the CDI rate by 25% (scenario 2) and 50% (scenario 3).

The “gross finance income” was calculated for each scenario, without taking into consideration taxes on income from short-term investments. The portfolio base date used was December 31, 2022, projecting indices for one year and verifying the CDI rate sensitivity in each scenario.

4 SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company’s entities are engaged in the supply of goods and provision of information technology services, in addition to consulting services, for the financial sector. Even though the goods are provided to several segments inside the financial institutions, they are not controlled and managed by Management as independent segments, and the Company’s results of operations are controlled, monitored and assessed on an integrated basis.

Therefore, due to Management’s joint control and management approach, it is possible to conclude that the Company operates effectively in one single segment, despite providing its goods and services to several sectors inside the financial institutions.

c) Share-based compensation plan

The purpose of the Share-based Compensation Plan (“Plan”) is to offer to the Company’s main executives the opportunity of multiplying the amount of their annual financial bonus (“Annual Bonus”), through the granting of additional funds (“Bonus”) by the Company, which must be used by the eligible executive (“Beneficiary”) to acquire the Company’s shares (“Shares”). The Plan establishes that the Bonus amount will be calculated based on a multiplier, applied on the Annual Bonus, which is granted by the Company under the Profit Sharing Program (“PPLR”).

The Annual Bonus will be used as a basis for the application of the multiplier for purposes of determination of the Bonus under the Plan. The multiplier ranges from 50% to 80% depending on the task performed at the Company.

The number of shares to be acquired by each beneficiary will be calculated based on their average market value in a given period.

Of the total number of shares acquired, the beneficiary will hold (Vesting) 40% of the total 12 months after the acquisition, 30% of the total 24 months after the acquisition and the remaining 30% of the total 36 months after the acquisition. The acquisition date will be considered as the date on which the Company receives the sales amount from the beneficiary and executes the share purchase agreement.

The number of shares available for exercise under this plan was 56,773 shares, which has expired on March 31, 2023.

d) Stock Option or Share Subscription Plan

The Stock Option or Share Subscription Plan (“Plan”) provides for the granting of call options or subscription of the Company’s common shares (“Options”). The purpose of the Plan is to (a) attract, retain and engage key professionals for the Company’s management (“Beneficiaries”), (b) align the Beneficiaries’ interests with those of the Company and its shareholders in a long-term perspective and (c) encourage the Beneficiaries to contribute to the Company’s good performance.

Number of shares included in the Plan: The options granted under the Plan, including those already exercised or not, and without considering those cancelled due to dismissal, death, permanent disability or retirement, can confer rights on common shares representing up to 3% of the Company’s capital on the Plan approval date.

Option exercise: The options granted can be exercised provided that the terms and conditions set out in this Plan and by the Board of Directors, in addition to the terms and conditions set out in the respective Option Agreements, are fulfilled. The Beneficiary can exercise all or part of the exercisable Options, it being, therefore, established that the Beneficiary must exercise at least 25% of the exercisable Options held by it on each partial exercise of the Options. The exercise of part of the Options by the Beneficiary will not impair the exercise of the other Options held.

The Company recognizes in profit or loss, during the period services are provided, the grace period and the cost on the compensation payable to the beneficiaries based on the fair value of the options on the grant date, using the Black-Scholes model to determine the fair value of the options. In the year ended December 31, 2022, R$760 was recorded in line item “Stock Options”. The Company will settle this share-based compensation plan by delivering its own shares, which will be held in treasury until the actual exercise of the shares by the beneficiaries.

The main events related to the effective plans, the variables used in calculations and results are as follows:

27 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies applied in preparing these financial statements are defined below. These policies were consistently applied for the reporting periods, except if otherwise stated.

27.1 CONSOLIDATION

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company holds control. Sinqia S.A. controls an entity when it is exposed or has rights to variable returns arising from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated when control is transferred to the Company. Consolidation is discontinued from the date on which the Company ceases to hold control.

Identifiable assets acquired and contingent liabilities assumed for the acquisition of subsidiaries in a business combination are initially measured at their fair values on the acquisition date.

SINQIA S.A.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS AT DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021

(In thousands of Brazilian reais – R$)

The Company recognizes the interest in the acquiree, both at its fair value and at the proportional share of the interest in the acquiree’s net assets. Interests are measured at each acquisition carried out. Acquisition-related costs are recorded in profit or loss for the year, as incurred.

Intragroup transactions, balances and unrealized gains are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated, unless the transaction provides evidence of impairment of the transferred asset. The accounting policies of subsidiaries are changed, when necessary, so as to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by Sinqia S.A.

27.2 FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

Items included in the financial statements of each one of the Group companies are measured using the currency of the main economic environment in which the company operates (“functional currency”). The financial statements are presented in reais (R$), which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.

27.3 PRESENT VALUE ADJUSTMENT

Long-term and short-term monetary assets and liabilities are adjusted to present value when the effect is considered material in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. The present value adjustment is calculated considering the contractual cash flows and the explicit, and in certain cases, implicit interest rates of the respective assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the interest embedded in revenues, expenses and costs associated with these assets and liabilities is discounted for its recognition on accrual basis. Subsequently, this interest is transferred to finance costs and finance income in profit or loss, using the effective interest rate method in relation to the contractual cash flows. The implicit interest rates applied were determined based on assumptions and are considered accounting estimates.

The main line items subject to present value adjustments are: leases, payables for investment acquisition (both in the short and long-term) and put option on non-controlling interests.

27.4 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include cash, banks, other highly liquid short-term investments, with insignificant risk of change in value and readily convertible into a known amount of cash.

27.5 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

27.5.1 CLASSIFICATION

Financial instruments are classified into the following categories: (i) amortized cost, (ii) fair value through profit or loss and (iii) fair value through comprehensive income.

Financial assets are reported as current assets, except for those with maturity exceeding 12 months after the balance sheet date.

27.5.2 RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT

Purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date. Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not classified at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value, and transaction costs are charged against the statement of income. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred; in the latter case, provided that the Company has significantly transferred all risks and rewards of ownership. Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently recorded at fair value and assets measured at amortized cost are recorded using the effective interest method.

Dividends from financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, such as shares, are recognized in the statement of income as part of other income, when the Company’s right to receive the dividends is established.

27.5.3 OFFSET OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is recorded in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to set off recognized amounts and the intent to either settle them on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the company or the counterparty.

27.5.4 IMPAIRMENT OF FINANCIAL ASSETS

The Company assesses if there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets might be impaired at the balance sheet date. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a "loss event") and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

The amount of the impairmentloss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount of the assets and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate of the financial assets. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the loss amount is recognized in the statement of income. If a held-to-maturity asset is subject to a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring an impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined pursuant to the agreement. As a practical expedient, the Company can measure impairment based on the fair value of an instrument using an observable market price.

57

SINQIA S.A.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS AT DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021

(In thousands of Brazilian reais – R$)

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of such previously recognized impairment loss will be recognized in the statement of income.

27.6 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company maintains in financial assets, short-term investments held as guarantee, investments in preferred shares of Celcoin Pagamentos S.A., equity investment funds, loans convertible into shares and call options on non-controlling interests in subsidiaries.

Financial assets are measured at fair value on the agreement date and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value, with the changes in fair value recorded in profit or loss.

27.7 TRADE RECEIVABLES

Trade receivables correspond to amounts receivable for software licenses, IT and consulting services provided in the ordinary course of the Company’s activities. If the collection term is equivalent to one year or less, trade receivables are classified in current assets. Otherwise, they are classified in noncurrent assets.

Trade receivables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less the allowance for doubtful debts.

The amount of the allowance corresponds to the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount. The Company monthly conducts an individual analysis of the outstanding invoices to calculate the recoverable amount.

The Company and its subsidiaries adopt an allowance model that takes into account the collection terms. The Company seeks to constantly improve its analyses and projection methods to minimize the impacts arising from possible default and ensure the business financial soundness.

27.8 INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Refers to trademarks and patents, software acquired, costs and expenses on new product development (software), including goodwill, customer portfolio and other intangible assets arising from business acquisitions. Separately acquired intangible assets are carried at cost upon initial recognition and, subsequently, deducted from the accumulated amortization and impairment losses, when applicable. Goodwill arising on investment acquisition is not amortized but is annually tested for impairment.

The useful life of intangible assets is either finite or indefinite.

Intangible assets with finite useful life are amortized over their economic useful life and tested for impairment whenever there is any indication that the asset might be impaired. The amortization year and method of an intangible asset with finite useful life are revised at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the useful life or in the pattern of consumption of expected future benefits are accounted for through the change in the amortization year or method, as applicable, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates.

58

SINQIA S.A.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS AT DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021

(In thousands of Brazilian reais – R$)

Intangible assets with indefinite useful life are not amortized but are annually tested for impairment. The assessment of indefinite useful life is revised at the end of each year to determine whether this assessment continues to be justifiable. Otherwise, the change in the useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

Gains and losses arising from the derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net sales proceed and the asset carrying amount and are recognized in the statement of income in the year the asset is derecognized.

a) Goodwill

Goodwill is determined upon acquisition of capital subscription in another company, represented at the acquisition cost of the investment that exceeds the book value, calculated based on the percentage rate of acquisition or subscription over the entity’s equity amount measured at the fair value (market value) of all assets and liabilities. In determining the equity amount, the existence, if any, of unrecorded assets at fair value is individualized and can also be negotiated individually.

b) Software

Software development or maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. Expenses directly associated to exclusive, identifiable software, controlled by the Company, which will probably generate economic benefits greater than the costs for more than one year, are recognized as intangible assets. Direct costs include the compensation payable to the software development team members and the appropriate portion of the related general expenses.

Software development costs recognized as assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives, at the rates mentioned in note 10.

c) Customer portfolio

Customer portfolios, acquired in a business combination, are recognized at fair value on the acquisition date. Contractual relationships with customers have finite useful life and are accounted for at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated life of the relationship with the customer.

(In thousands of Brazilian reais – R$)

d) Trademarks and licenses

Separately acquired trademarks and licenses are initially stated at historical cost. Trademarks and licenses acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value on the acquisition date. Subsequently, trademarks and licenses with finite useful life are accounted for at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis to allocate the cost of trademarks and licenses over their estimated useful life.

27.9 PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Stated at historical acquisition, formation or development cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis at the rates mentioned in note 9. Property and equipment are recorded gross of State VAT (“ICMS”) and taxes on revenue (“PIS” and COFINS”) credits as the Company does not utilize these taxes as tax credits.

Subsequent costs are included in the carrying amount of the asset or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated to the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of replaced items or parts is written off. All other repair and maintenance costs are recorded as a balancing item to profit or loss, when incurred.

The residual values and useful life of the assets are reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, at the end of each reporting period.

The carrying amount of an asset is immediately written down to its recoverable amount if the carrying amount of the asset is higher than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and recorded in “Other operating income (expenses), net” in the statement of income.

27.10 IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS

Management annually reviews the carrying amount of non-financial assets to assess events or changes in economic, operating or technological circumstances that might indicate an impairment of non-financial assets. Whenever such evidence is identified and the net carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, an allowance for impairment is recognized, adjusting the net carrying amount to the recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount of an asset or certain cash-generating unit is defined as the higher of the value in use and the net sales amount.

In estimating the value in use of the asset, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value, using a discount rate that reflects the weighted average cost of capital for the industry in which the cash-generating unit operates.

(In thousands of Brazilian reais – R$)

27.11 TRADE PAYABLES

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services acquired from suppliers in the normal course of business, classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year (or in the regular operating course of business, even if longer). Otherwise, payables are recorded as noncurrent liabilities.

The amounts are initially recognized at fair value and, subsequently, measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. In practice, they are usually recognized at the corresponding invoice amount.

27.12 DEBENTURES

Debentures are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently stated at amortized cost. Any difference between the amounts raised (net of transaction costs) and the total amount payable is recognized in the statement of income during the period borrowings remain outstanding, using the effective interest method.

Debentures are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer the liability settlement for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

27.13 PROVISIONS

Provisions for legal claims (labor, civil and tax) are recognized when: (i) the Company has a present or constructive obligation as a result of past events; (ii) it is probable that an outflow of funds will be required to settle the obligation; and (iii) the amount can be reliably estimated. The provisions for restructuring include fines for termination of lease contracts and severance payments.

In case of a series of similar obligations, the likelihood of settling them is determined taking into consideration the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of settlement related to any individual item included in the same class of obligations is small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures necessary to settle the obligation, using a pretax rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the specific risks of the obligation. The increase in the obligation as a result of the time elapsed is recognized as finance costs.

27.14 CURRENT AND DEFERRED INCOME TAX AND SOCIAL CONTRIBUTION

Income tax and social contribution expenses represent the aggregate of current and deferred taxes. Taxes on income are recognized in profit or loss for the year, except when they relate to items that are recognized directly in equity or in comprehensive income. In this case, the tax is also recognized in equity or comprehensive income.

Current and deferred income tax and social contribution charges are calculated based on the tax laws enacted or substantially enacted at the end of the reporting period. Management periodically assesses the positions assumed by the Company in the income tax returns with respect to situations in which the applicable tax regulation gives rise to interpretations.

61

SINQIA S.A.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS AT DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021

(In thousands of Brazilian reais – R$)

Deferred income tax and social contribution are recognized using the liability method on temporary differences arising from differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, deferred income tax and social contribution are not recognized if arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability in a transaction other than a business combination which, at the transaction date, does not affect accounting profit or loss or taxable income (tax loss).

Deferred income tax and social contribution assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are presented at the net amount in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right and the intention to offset them upon the calculation of current taxes, generally when related to the same legal entity and the same tax authority.

27.15 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

a) Share-based compensation

Under IFRS 2 – Share-based Payment, the premium on these shares, calculated on the grant date, is recognized as expense as a balancing item to equity, during the grace period as services are provided.

b) Profit sharing

The Company recognizes a liability and profit sharing expense in profit or loss on accrual basis, pursuant to the Company’s compensation policy.

27.16 PUT OPTIONS ON NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

The put options are measured based on the expected future exercise price, discounted at present value. The option exercise price will be measured based on the revenue multiple, which will be determined by the EBITDA margin on a future date, pursuant to an agreement.

27.17 CAPITAL

Shares are classified in equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new shares or options are stated in equity as a deduction of the amount raised, net of taxes.

(In thousands of Brazilian reais – R$)

27.18 REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

The service contract with customers is defined as an agreement between two or more parties that creates rights and obligations payable, which can be written, verbal or implicit.

Revenue is recognized to the extent the Company satisfies its performance obligations, upon transfer of the service agreed with the customer. A service is considered to be transferred when the customer obtains its control. For long-term contracts, the Company obtains formal evidence of the service acceptance by the customer.

Revenue from services provided to customers is measured at an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to receive in exchange for goods or services.

27.19 DISTRIBUTION OF DIVIDENDS AND INTEREST ON CAPITAL

The distribution of dividends and interest on capital to the Company’s shareholders is recognized as a liability in the Company’s financial statements when approved at the General Meeting, as set forth in the Company’s bylaws, or if authorized by the Board of Directors.

27.20 LEASES

At the commencement of a lease, the Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of the payments to be made over the lease term and right-of-use assets representing the right to use of the underlying assets.

The right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted by any new remeasurement of lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the assets' estimated useful life and are subject to impairment.

The Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. Lease payments include fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees.

In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date as the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of the lease liability is increased to reflect the increase in interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in lease payments (e.g., changes in future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine these lease payments) or a change in the assessment of a call option on the underlying asset.

27.21 EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing profit for the year attributable to the holders of the Parent’s common shares, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year.

63

SINQIA S.A.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS AT DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021

Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing profit for the year, attributable to the holders of the Parent’s common shares, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year, plus the weighted average number of common shares that would be issued upon conversion of all potential diluted common shares into common shares.

28 EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

a) Acquisition of Compliasset Software e Soluções Digitais S.A.

On March 7, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of a 60% stake in Compliasset Software e Soluções Digitais S.A., through its subsidiary Sinqia Tecnologia Ltda. The transaction involved (i) initial amount of R$17,700 payable at sight, (ii) retained portion of R$300 payable within 150 days after the acquisition date, and (iii) variable portion contingent on the net revenue for the period from August 1, 2023 to July 31, 2024. Additionally, the transaction provides for the purchase and sale of the remaining portion in 2026 and exercise price linked to Compliasset’s net revenue and adjusted EBITDA margin for 2025.

Compliasset was established in 2016 in reliance upon the legal expertise of one of its founders in relation to the compliance for the capital market. It has more than 230 customers in the capital market and offers an IT solution that supports compliance and privacy programs in a holistic manner. After some time, it has expanded its activities to other markets, such as the Closed-end Supplementary Private Pension Entities, building a strong partnership with the Brazilian Association of Closed-end Supplementary Private Pension Entities (Abrapp).

The goodwill of R$14,431, arising on the difference between the amount paid and the acquiree’s equity, was evaluated by an independent valuation company and corresponds to the amount of the future economic benefits (goodwill) arising from the synergies that are expected to obtain upon the acquisition carried out. The acquisition expands even further the offer of Sinqia’s solutions and reinforces the Company’s strategy of building a complete ecosystem to serve the financial system. With the inclusion of Compliasset in its portfolio, Sinqia expands its position as one-stop-shop for the customers, bringing one more Software as a Service (SaaS), Plug & Play solution, available in the Cloud focused on Regulatory Compliance Management.

In the consolidated interim information for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, Compliasset reported net revenue of R$2,273 and profit of R$673, considering the period after the abovementioned acquisition date.

The Company hired a third-party appraiser to conduct fair value measurement studies on the main assets acquired and liabilities assumed; as Sinqia holds less than 100% interest in the acquiree, the fair value of the non-controlling interests was determined by applying the effective percentage rate of the non-controlling interests on the subsidiaries’ equity at fair value.

Transaction structure

As set forth in the Merger Agreement, the parties agreed that the integration of the Company’s and Evertec BR’s activities will be implemented through (i) the merger of all shares issued by the Company into Evertec BR (“Merger of Shares”), upon assignment to the Company’s shareholders of mandatorily redeemable Class A and Class B preferred shares issued by Evertec BR; and (ii) the redemption of all these new redeemable preferred shares of Evertec BR (“Redemption of Shares”), upon payment of the amount in cash and delivery of Level I BDRs accepted for trading at B3, whose underlying assets will be Class A shares issued by Evertec Inc. (“BDR”) traded at the NYSE.

SINQIA S.A.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS AT DECEMBER 31, 2022 AND 2021

(In thousands of Brazilian reais – R$)

The Merger of Shares will be carried out based on the following exchange ratio: for each share issued by the Company (i) one mandatorily redeemable Class A preferred share issued by Evertec BR; and (ii) mandatorily redeemable Class B preferred share issued by Evertec BR, will be assigned.

The Redemption of Shares will be carried out based on the following: (a) each Class A preferred share issued by Evertec BR will be redeemed upon Transaction closing at the amount of R$24.47; and (b) each Class B preferred share issued by Evertec BR will be redeemed upon Transaction closing through the delivery of BDRs backed by 0,014354 shares issued by Evertec Inc., whose amount on this date corresponds to R$2.72. The positive variation of the SELIC rate calculated on the base amount of R$27.50 will be added to the redemption amount of Class A preferred shares issued by Evertec BR, between this date and the Transaction consummation date, it being understood that the adjustment amount cannot exceed R$1.00 per Class A preferred share, except in those cases set forth in the Merger Agreement. Additionally, Evertec will apply its best effort to promote a repurchase program for BDRs accepted for trading at B3 after the Transaction closing.

Transaction conditions precedent

The Transaction closing is subject to the fulfillment of conditions precedent usual for this type of transaction, including (i) the approval, by the Company’s shareholders, (a) of the Merger of Shares, pursuant to article 252 of the Brazilian Corporate Law, including the respective protocol; and (b) the consent provided for in article 46, sole paragraph of the “Novo Mercado” Regulation; (ii) the obtainment of waiver from the holders (a) of the 2^nd issuance of simple, non-convertible, unsecured debentures, with real and additional fidejussory guarantee, in one single series and (b) of the 3^rd issuance of simple, non-convertible, unsecured debentures, with real and additional fidejussory guarantee, in one single series; and (iii) the registration of the Level I BDRs by Evertec Inc. with the CVM for trading at B3.

Exclusivity

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Company assumed an exclusivity commitment to Evertec to consummate the Transaction, which failure to comply by the Company will give rise to a fine in the amount corresponding to 5% of the Transaction amount. In case of non-approval of the Transaction by the Company’s shareholders, the exclusivity period ends with no fine or penalty for the Company. Right of recourse – The Company informs that the Merger of Shares will give rise to the right of recourse for the Company’s dissenting shareholders. The details on the exercise of the right of recourse, including the reimbursement amount, will be timely disclosed to the market.

Other commitments

Within the scope of the Transaction, the holders of the Company’s shares representing more than 40% of the total voting shares entered into certain Voting Agreements, which establish these shareholders’ obligation to vote favorably to the Transaction approval at the Company’s general meeting. Also, during the term of the Voting Agreements, these shareholders agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of their Company’s shares until the Company’s general meeting.
