SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED MAY 10, 2021

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

12,909,091 Class A common shares

Zenvia Inc.

(incorporated in the Cayman Islands)

This is an initial public offering of the Class A common shares, US$0.00005 par value per share, of Zenvia Inc., or Zenvia. We are offering 12,909,091 of the Class A common shares to be sold in this offering.

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Class A common shares. The estimated initial public offering price for the Class A common shares in the offering is expected to be between US$15.50 and US$17.50 per Class A common share. We have applied to list our Class A common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, under the symbol “ZENV.”

Upon consummation of this offering, we will have two classes of common shares: our Class A common shares and our Class B common shares. The rights of the holders of Class A common shares and Class B common shares will be identical, except with respect to voting, conversion, pre-emptive rights and transfer restrictions applicable to the Class B common shares. Each Class A common share will be entitled to one (1) vote. Each Class B common share will be entitled to ten (10) votes and will be convertible into one Class A common share automatically upon transfer, subject to certain exceptions. Class B common shares shall not be listed on any stock exchange and will not be publicly traded. Holders of Class A common shares and Class B common shares will vote together as a single class on all matters unless otherwise required by law.

Following this offering, our issued and outstanding Class B common shares, which will be beneficially owned by some of our current shareholders, namely Cassio Bobsin, Oria Zenvia Co-investment Holdings, LP, Oria Zenvia Co-investment Holdings II, LP, Oria Tech Zenvia Co-investment — Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia and Oria Tech I Inovação Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia, will represent 94.76% of the combined voting power of our outstanding common shares and 64.39% of our total equity ownership, assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional Class A common shares. For further information, see “Description of Share Capital.”

We are a “foreign private issuer” and an “emerging growth company” under the U.S. federal securities laws as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and, as a result, have elected to comply with certain reduced public company disclosure and reporting requirements. In addition, for as long as we remain an emerging growth company, we will qualify for certain limited exceptions from the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Additionally, following the offering, we will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance standards and as such plan to rely on available exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. See “Risk Factors — Certain Risks Relating to this Offering and Our Class A Common shares — Our status as a controlled company and a foreign private issuer exempts us from certain of the corporate governance standards of the Nasdaq, limiting the protections afforded to investors” and “Risk Factors — Certain Risks Relating to this Offering and Our Class A Common shares — As a foreign private issuer and an “emerging growth company” (as defined in the JOBS Act), we will have different disclosure and other requirements from U.S. domestic registrants and non-emerging growth companies. We may take advantage of exemptions from certain corporate governance regulations of the Nasdaq, and this may result in less protection for the holders of our Class A common shares.”

Investing in our Class A common shares involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 24 of this prospectus.

D1 Acquisition, Sirena Acquisition and Related Financial Statements

Pending D1 Acquisition

In March 2021, Zenvia Brazil entered into certain purchase agreements for the direct and indirect acquisition of 100% of the share capital of One To One Engine Desenvolvimento e Licenciamento de Sistemas de Informática S.A. — Direct One, or D1. D1 is a platform that connects different data sources to enable a single customer view layer, allowing the creation of multichannel communications, generation of variable documents, authenticated message delivery and contextualized conversational experiences. While its consummation is subject to certain closing conditions, including the consummation of this initial public offering, the transaction is expected to be consummated in the second quarter of 2021. Under the terms of these purchase agreements and as part of the consideration, on the closing date, (1) Zenvia Brazil will contribute R$40 million in cash into D1; (2) Zenvia Brazil will pay to D1 shareholders an amount which we currently estimate to be R$270 million, which will be based on a valuation of 13 (thirteen) times D1’s and Smarkio’s combined gross profit for the last twelve months (LTM) ending on March 31, 2021 (historical results) minus D1 net debt as of the same date and adjusted by working capital; and (3) we will deliver a certain number of our Class A common shares to certain D1 shareholders, equivalent to an amount which we currently estimate to correspond to R$139 million, that will be calculated based on the valuation of 13 (thirteen) times D1’s and Smarkio’s combined gross profit for the last twelve months (LTM) ending on

iii

TABLE OF CONTENTS

March 31, 2021 (historical results) minus D1 net debt as of the same date and adjusted by working capital, divided by 13 (thirteen) times Zenvia Brazil’s consolidated gross profit for the last twelve months (LTM) (after giving effect to the D1 Acquisition and the Sirena Acquisition (each term as defined below) ending on March 31, 2021 minus Zenvia Brazil’s consolidated net debt (after giving effect to the D1 Acquisition and the Sirena Acquisition) as of the same date. We expect to deliver approximately 1,566,589 Class A common shares to these D1 shareholders in connection with the above.

Additionally, as further consideration for the D1 Acquisition, we have also agreed to pay amounts to certain D1 shareholders which we currently estimate to be (i) R$57 million in the first quarter of 2022; and (ii) R$174 million in the first quarter of 2023, based on a certain multiple times D1’s gross profit for the last twelve months (LTM) ending on March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, respectively, such multiple to be calculated on the achievement of certain gross profit milestones for the relevant periods. As a guarantee of payment of such amounts, we will pledge a certain number of shares corresponding to 50% + 1 share of D1’s total equity stake as collateral in favor of the aforementioned D1 shareholders. This guarantee will be effective as of the date of consummation of the D1 Acquisition and will be released upon payment of the last installment due to such D1 shareholders. An English translation of the purchase agreements governing the D1 Acquisition are filed as exhibits 10.09 and 10.10 of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

While the payment estimates above have been prepared in good faith and based on information currently available, the actual consideration to be paid may change including as a result of D1’s and Zenvia Brazil’s results of operations and conclusion of the review of LTM ending March 31, 2021. The estimates presented above are preliminary and subject to that transaction progressing to a sufficiently advanced stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement of final consideration amounts. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information.”

Upon consummation of the D1 Acquisition, we will also become indirect holders of 100% of the share capital of Smarkio Tecnologia Ltda., or Smarkio, a wholly-owned subsidiary of D1 and a cloud-based company that combines an automated marketing platform through chatbots with a platform for creating, integrating and processing conversational interfaces that can be used by developers and business users. Smarkio was acquired by D1 in December 2020 and D1 started consolidating Smarkio in its financial statements as of December 1, 2020. Zenvia Brazil’s probable acquisition of D1 and D1’s acquisition of Smarkio are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “D1 Acquisition.”

The D1 Acquisition is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions set forth in the definitive agreements governing this transaction, including the consummation of this offering. To the extent these conditions are not satisfied or waived or to the extent we do not consummate this offering, we may not complete the D1 Acquisition. See “Risk Factors — Certain Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry — We may pursue strategic acquisitions or investments which may divert our management’s attention and result in reduced cash levels, increased indebtedness or dilution to our shareholders. The failure of an acquisition or investment to produce the anticipated results, the failure to consummate a pending acquisition (including the D1 Acquisition), or the inability to integrate an acquired company fully, could adversely affect our business.”

We plan to use US$57 million (equivalent to R$310 million using the Central Bank selling exchange rate of R$5.4087 per U.S. dollar published on May 3, 2021) from the proceeds of this offering to pay the consideration payable in cash to acquire D1. See “Use of Proceeds.”

Sirena Acquisition

On July 24, 2020, Zenvia Brazil entered into a certain share purchase and sale agreement to purchase 100% of the shares of Rodati Motors Corporation, or Sirena, a startup founded in 2014 that offers communication solutions for sales teams via WhatsApp, or the Sirena Acquisition. As consideration for the Sirena Acquisition, Zenvia Brazil (i) made an upfront cash payment of US$10,923 thousand (amounting to R$56,961 thousand using the Central Bank selling exchange rate published on July 24, 2020) on closing date, and US$392 thousand (R$2,045 thousand using the Central Bank selling exchange rate published on January 24, 2021) which was paid on January 24, 2021 to Sirena shareholders; and (ii) assuming the consummation of this offering, we will deliver a certain number of our Class A common shares to Sirena

TABLE OF CONTENTS

shareholders, corresponding to an equity interest calculated based on a percentage of the upfront payment made by Zenvia Brazil divided by an established valuation of Zenvia set forth in the acquisition agreement governing the Sirena Acquisition. Our valuation for this purpose will be based on Zenvia Brazil’s gross margin and EBITDA minus Zenvia’s net debt as of December 31, 2020. We expect to deliver approximately 89,131 Class A common shares to these Sirena shareholders in connection with the above.

Moreover, Sirena’s former shareholders are entitled to an additional payment in the aggregate amount estimated at US$13,584 thousand (equivalent to R$70,835 thousand using the Central Bank selling exchange rate published on December 31, 2020) payable in three installments (6, 12 and 24 months following the closing date of the Sirena Acquisition). In addition, former Sirena shareholders that remained working with us are eligible to receive additional earn-out compensation (provided that they remain working with us until the end of the above referred payment period), in an amount up to US$5,514 thousand (equivalent to R$28,752 thousand using the Central Bank selling exchange rate published on the closing date) and payable in two installments (12 and 24 months following the closing date of the Sirena Acquisition), which may vary based on the achievement of certain financial milestones, as defined in the purchase and sale agreement governing the Sirena Acquisition, which are mainly based in the valuation of Sirena calculated considering Sirena’s gross margins. As of December 31, 2020, a provision was recorded in the amount of R$8,833 thousand in connection with such obligations. This acquisition is in line with our strategy to expand into other Latin American regions. The transaction was consummated on July 24, 2020, and Zenvia Brazil began to consolidate Sirena’s results of operations as of that date. A copy of the agreement governing the Sirena Acquisition is filed as exhibit 10.08 of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

This prospectus also includes (1) Sirena’s historical audited consolidated financial statements as of July 23, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and for the period from January 1, 2020 to July 23, 2020 and for the year ended December 31, 2019, together with the accompanying notes thereto, or Sirena’s audited consolidated financial statements, (2) D1’s historical audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, or D1’s audited consolidated financial statements, and (3) Smarkio’s historical audited financial statements as of November 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and for the period of eleven months ended November 30, 2020 and for the year ended December 31, 2019, or Smarkio’s audited financial statements.

We have also included elsewhere in this prospectus (1) our unaudited pro forma condensed statements of profit or loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 and (2) our unaudited pro forma condensed statement of financial position as of December 31, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed statements of profit or loss gives pro forma effect to (1) Sirena Acquisition and the D1 Acquisition as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2020 (2) cash-based payment bonuses and equity grants expected to be made to certain of our officers and employees as a result of the consummation of this offering and (3) the issuance of Class A common shares in this offering in our earnings per share. The unaudited pro forma condensed statement of financial position gives pro forma effect to (1) the D1 Acquisition as if it had been consummated on December 31, 2020, (2) the receipt by us of the net proceeds from this offering and (3) cash-based payment bonuses and equity grants expected to be made to certain of our officers and employees as a result of the consummation of this offering. For a discussion about our unaudited pro forma condensed financial information and related notes, see “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information.”

Special Note Regarding the Adoption of IFRS 16

As of January 1, 2019, we adopted IFRS 16 — Leases, or IFRS 16, which changed the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. With the exception of certain short-term leases or leases of low value, IFRS 16 requires lessees to record all leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use. Lease liabilities are recorded in the statement of financial position over the term of the lease, which results in a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability for each applicable accounting period. We amortize, on a straight-line basis, the right-of-use asset over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term.

We adopted IFRS 16 using the simplified retrospective approach, which does not require the restatement of the corresponding figures. Therefore, comparative information as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 has not been restated, and is not comparable with the information as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, which reflects the effects of the adoption of this standard.

Special Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

For the convenience of investors, this prospectus presents certain non-GAAP financial measures, which are not recognized under IFRS, specifically Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Operating Profit, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined as one that purports to measure financial performance but excludes or includes amounts that would not be so adjusted in the most comparable GAAP measure. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have standardized meanings and may not be directly comparable to similarly-titled measures adopted by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by our management for decision-making purposes and to assess our financial and operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. We also believe that the disclosure of our Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Operating Profit, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors and financial analysts and other interested parties in their review of our operating performance. Potential investors should not rely on information not recognized under IFRS as a substitute for the IFRS measures of earnings, cash flows or profit (loss) in making an investment decision.

We use Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Operating Profit, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, collectively, to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal financial planning and forecasting purposes.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons of results of operations.

Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Operating Profit are measures that exclude amortization of intangible assets acquired from business combinations. Our acquisition activities have resulted in the recognition of intangible assets, which consist primarily of client portfolio and digital platform. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are tested for impairment when events indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The amortization of intangible assets acquired from business combinations is reflected in our consolidated statements of profit or loss and intangible asset amortization is an expense that typically fluctuates based on the size and timing of our acquisition activity. Accordingly, we believe that excluding the amortization of intangible assets acquired from business combinations enhances our and our investors’ ability to compare our past financial performance with its current performance and to analyze underlying business performance and trends. While amortization of intangible assets acquired from business combinations was excluded from Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Operating Profit, the revenue generated by such intangible assets acquired from business combinations has not been excluded from such non-GAAP financial measures.

Non-GAAP Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Operating Profit

We calculate Non-GAAP Gross Profit as gross profit plus amortization of intangible assets acquired from business combinations.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

We calculate EBITDA as profit adjusted by income tax and social contribution (current and deferred), net finance costs and depreciation and amortization.

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus expenses related to branch closing and gain on bargain purchase. In particular, the exclusions in calculating Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis and such exclusions remove items that we do not consider to be indicative of our core operating performance.

Special Note Regarding Non-GAAP Pro Forma Financial Measures

This prospectus presents Non-GAAP Pro Forma Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Pro Forma Operating Profit, Pro Forma EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA information for the convenience of investors. These measures are key performance indicators used by us to measure financial operating performance. These measures were prepared for information purposes only and give effect to the Sirena Acquisition and the D1 Acquisition by us as if they occurred as of January 1, 2020. These pro forma non-GAAP financial measures are used by our management for decision-making purposes and to assess our financial and operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. Our management also believes that these pro forma non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and shareholders.

Non-GAAP Pro Forma Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Pro Forma Operating Profit are measures that exclude amortization of intangible assets acquired from business combinations. Our acquisition activities have resulted in the recognition of intangible assets, which consist primarily of client portfolio and digital platform. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are tested for impairment when events indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The amortization of intangible assets acquired from business combinations is reflected in our consolidated statements of profit or loss and intangible asset amortization is an expense that typically fluctuates based on the size and timing of our acquisition activity.

performance with its current performance and to analyze underlying business performance and trends. While amortization of intangible assets acquired from business combinations was excluded from Non-GAAP Pro Forma Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Pro Forma Operating Profit, the revenue generated by such intangible assets acquired from business combinations has not been excluded from such non-GAAP financial measures.

We calculate Non-GAAP Pro Forma Gross Profit as pro forma gross profit plus pro forma amortization of intangible assets acquired from business combinations.

We calculate Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA as pro forma EBITDA plus pro forma share-based payment, pro forma expenses related to branch closing and pro forma expenses related to IPO grants.

We understand that, although Non-GAAP Pro Forma Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Pro Forma Operating Profit, Pro Forma EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA are used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluation of companies, these measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results of operations as reported under IFRS. Additionally, our calculations of Non-GAAP Pro Forma Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Pro Forma Operating Profit, Pro Forma EBITDA and Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA may be different from the calculation used by other companies, including our competitors, and therefore, our measures may not be comparable to those of other companies.

For a reconciliation of our pro forma non-GAAP financial measures to their closest GAAP financial measures, see “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information — Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Pro Forma Financial Measures.”

Our Pledge

We are driven by the purpose of empowering companies to create unique experiences for customer communications through our unified end-to-end platform.

Overview

We empower companies to transform their existing customer communications from non-scalable, physical and impersonal interactions into highly scalable, digital first and hyper contextualized experiences across the customer journey.

Our customer experience, or CX, communications platform enables companies to digitally interact with their end-consumers in a personalized and higly-contextualized fashion across their entire lifecycle. Our unified end-to-end CX communications platform provides a combination of (i) solutions focused on campaigns, sales teams, customer service and engagement, (ii) tools, such as software application programming interfaces, or APIs, chatbots, single customer view, journey designer, documents composer and authentication and (iii) channels, such as SMS, Voice, WhatsApp and Webchat. Our comprehensive platform assists our customers across multiple use cases, including marketing campaigns, customer acquisition, customer onboarding, warnings, customer services, fraud control, cross-selling and customer retention, among others.

We were founded in Brazil 17 years ago as a bootstrapped startup in a garage serving businesses with complex networking infrastructures through our platform of APIs for SMS messaging connectivity. As we continued to grow, we scaled our business by adding new CX communication solutions, tools and channels to our platform, making it more flexible, versatile and comprehensive in order to capitalize on the market opportunity to serve customers along their end-consumer’s lifecycle. Currently, we have a local presence in Brazil, Mexico and Argentina and our technology allows our customers to use our platform based on their individual use case. The adoption of these technologies by our customers, and the desire of their end-consumers to have access to contextualized and digital communication channels, allows our customers to more effectively serve their end-consumers and streamline their decision-making process and day-to-day business operations.

Our software platform facilitated the flow of communication with end-consumers for more than 7,700 customers of all sizes as of December 31, 2019, which increased to more than 9,400 customers as of December 31, 2020, all across a broad range of industries throughout Latin America. Our usage-based recurring revenue model allows us to grow with our customers and increase our revenue base as they increase their use of our solutions and communication channels.

Communication is an essential activity for businesses serving their end-consumers. Businesses all over the world are shaping new customer experiences with the power of digital communications. However, businesses seeking to implement multi-channel communication experiences for their end-consumers are frequently faced with multiple challenges given the complexities of implementing and integrating such processes and level of investments that they require. We provide businesses with a solution to this problem by offering a unified end-to-end communications platform at affordable prices.

time, upselling and cross-selling our suite of solutions to them as they grow and improve their customer journey. This strategy has allowed us to achieve a net revenue expansion rate of 112.8% and 117.1% as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For more information about our net revenue expansion rate, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Principal Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations — Net Revenue Expansion Rate.”

Businesses use our platform to frequently and more seamlessly connect with their end-consumers while also offering new mobile application experiences. From small family-owned businesses to large corporations, our customers use our platform to attract, convert, serve and nurture their end-consumers. For instance, one of the largest Brazilian banks adopted our platform for several use cases such as multichannel marketing campaigns with SMS and automated telemarketing, SMS transactional authorizations and chatbot invoice collection. In addition, one of the largest electronic retailers in Brazil adopted our platform for order tracking with WhatsApp notifications, retail sales with our WhatsApp sales solution and promotional coupons on rich communication services, or RCS, a communication protocol between mobile telephone carriers and mobile devices aimed at replacing SMS messages with a more sophisticated multimedia enabled text-messaging system. An international education group in Brazil also adopted our platform for communications related to entrance exam information, their student recruitment enrollment process and existing and prospective student communication solutions through chatbot on their website and through WhatsApp, customer service and sales chat services, SMS operational alerts and marketing campaigns.

We serve many other large corporations including:

•

6 out of the top 10 Brazilian retail companies in terms of net revenue;

•

6 out of the top 10 Brazilian health care companies in terms of net revenue;

•

5 out of the top 10 Brazilian banks in terms of net revenue;

•

5 out of the top 10 Brazilian education companies in terms of net revenue;

•

5 out of the top 10 Brazilian service provider companies in terms of net revenue;

•

5 out of the top 10 Brazilian insurance companies in terms of net revenue; and

•

4 out of the top 5 Brazilian telecommunication companies in Brazil in terms of net revenue.

Small businesses also use our platform for a variety of use cases. For example, a technology company that monitors temperature sensors for medical-grade cold storage uses our Voice solution to monitor, detect and alert its end-consumers of any out-of-range temperature incidents for specific medical supply storage chambers, mitigating the risk of improper medicine storage.

Our platform flexibility allows us to serve many important sectors including:

•

Financial institutions use our platform for SMS transaction confirmation alerts, security tokens and marketing campaigns;

•

Service providers use our platform to manage outbound voice calls integrated with their customer relationship management platforms, or CRMs;

•

Universities use our platform to support students on multiple communication channels such as WhatsApp and Website;

•

Medical and dental clinics and hospitals use our SMS platform to confirm and reschedule appointments as well as send appointment reminders to patients; and

•

Retailers use our WhatsApp solution to support their sales teams to manage sales and our SMS platform to inform customers about new products and promotions and to track the status of deliveries.

We have a diversified client base with our 10 largest clients representing 33.1%, 34.2% and 37.0% of our revenue in the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Giving effect to the consummation of the D1 Acquisition, our 10 largest clients would have represented 35% of our revenue in the year ended December 31, 2020. We are working to further decrease this concentration by investing in marketing initiatives to attract new small and medium business, or SMBs, customers to our platform and providing additional offerings to our existing customer base. See “Risk Factors — Certain Risks Relating to Our Business and

Industry — A significant portion of our revenue is currently concentrated on our outlier customers and an economic slowdown affecting these customers could lead to decreased demand for our products and services, which could adversely affect us.”

We have been a cash flow positive company since 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2020, cash generated from our operating activities amounted to R$53.1 million, compared to R$33.8 million and R$46.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our revenue totaled R$429.7 million, R$354.0 million and R$276.4 million in the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, representing a growth rate of 21.4% between the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 and 28.1% between the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. Our loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 amounted to R$21.4 million, compared to profit amounting to R$13.8 million and R$19.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2020 amounted to R$8.0 million, compared to R$36.1 million and R$44.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, as we continue to invest in our platform and growth initiatives.

Our Industry Background

Communication is critical for the operation and innovation of businesses of all sizes

With unprecedented customer dependence on smartphones and the proliferation of mobile applications, communications have become a major focus for businesses of all sizes. As a result, businesses are integrating mission-critical communications functions in their products and services in order to provide real-time value to their end-consumers across a myriad of devices, businesses are seeking and effectively operate and innovate to create a “connected” experience.

Ability of businesses to differentiate themselves has driven competition

The ability for businesses to differentiate themselves from competitors has been driving growth across different economic sectors. In order for businesses to continue to be competitive, they need to continue to develop their software development capabilities to allow them to build applications that address their end-consumers’ needs.

We differentiate ourselves through our capability to deliver more than just all the main communication channels. Our platform offers complete communication solutions focusing on our customers’ specific needs, developing each solution to improve the interaction between our customers and their end-consumers through marketing campaigns, customer support/service and sales teams, as well as providing developers with the tools they need to build communication solutions themselves.

Going forward, we expect to further explore the ecosystem of developers and software companies, as well as to further develop our ability to improve the solutions we offer our customers, opening a marketplace of apps and add-ons to meet the needs of our customers’ end-consumers and help our customers achieve high levels of end-consumer satisfaction.

Communication is transforming interactions between businesses and their end-consumers

Mobile channels connections between businesses and their end-consumers has been at the forefront of change in the way businesses communicate with their end-consumers and there is a need for a more comprehensive platform to manage such communications.

In addition, the ongoing transformation of the communications industry is demonstrated by the expected change in the mix of services provided by communications platform-as-a-service, or CPaaS, companies, which is one of our target markets. According to Juniper Research’s “2020 CPAAS Future Market Outlook — Emerging Opportunities — 2020-2025 — Deep dive Data & Forecasting” study, the CPaaS global market landscape is expected to change over the next five years as a result of the diversification of services offered. Although SMS revenue from CPaaS platforms is expected to grow 21.8% on average annually, it is expected to account only for approximately 70.5% of total CPaaS revenue by 2025, compared to 95.9% of total CPaaS revenue in 2020.

Our Market Opportunity

We continue to expand in Latin America and this market represents an important area of growth and TAM going forward

Our CX communication platform addresses multiple markets. One of our target markets is CPaaS. We are the only representative vendor in the 2020 Gartner Market Guide for Communications Platform as a Service headquartered in Latin America.* For Gartner disclaimer, see “Presentation of Financial and Other Information — Market Information.” We have a large CPaaS total addressable market, or TAM, in Latin America, amounting to US$659.6 million in 2020, and our industry is expected to experience average annual growth in TAM of 34.6% a year as from 2020 and reach US$2.16 billion by 2024, according to IDC’s estimates. Our experience with customers of various sizes and segments also points to great demand for marketing campaign tools that can leverage SMS, RCS, e-mail and other digital channels, so we believe in the potential of multichannel Marketing Campaign Management (MCM) market also as a target market for our solutions. According to IDC estimates, the MCM TAM, in Latin America, amounted to US$1.54 billion in 2020, and this industry is expected to experience average annual growth in TAM of 4.1% a year from 2020 and reach US$1.80 billion by 2024. Our roots in Latin America allow us to understand its complexities and opportunities, to identify the right combination of technologies, sales channel efficiency and go-to-market strategy and to lead the customer experience transformation in the region. On July 24, 2020, in line with our strategy to expand our platform in Latin America, we acquired Sirena, a startup founded in 2014 that offers communication solutions for sales teams via WhatsApp in countries such as Argentina and Mexico. Also, upon consummation of the D1 Acquisition, we expect to expand our Latin America addressable market by adding a multichannel engagement solution and multiple tools to our CX communication platform such as single customer view, journey builder, documents (e.g., invoices, utilities bills, insurance policies) composition and delivery of transaction documents through multiple channels, which are considered part of the Customer Communications Management, or CCM, market. According to IDC estimates, the CCM TAM in Latin America amounted to US$115.6 million in 2020, and this industry is expected to experience average annual growth in TAM of 5.6% a year from 2020 and reach US$143.9 million by 2024. For further information about the Sirena Acquisition and the D1 Acquisition, see “Presentation of Financial and Other Information — D1 Acquisition, Sirena Acquisition and Related Financial Statements” and “Risk Factors — Certain Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry — We may pursue strategic acquisitions or investments which may divert our management’s attention and result in reduced cash levels, increased indebtedness or dilution to our shareholders. The failure of an acquisition or investment to produce the anticipated results, the failure to consummate a pending acquisition (including the D1 Acquisition) or the inability to integrate an acquired company fully, could adversely affect our business.” The following chart represents the total addressable market in Latin America for CPaaS, MCM and CCM for the periods indicated below:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We believe the Latin American market has significant growth potential as it is in the early stage of digital transformation and the adoption of technology. For example, current business spending on information technology in Latin America remains relatively low compared to spending in developed markets (1.9% in Latin America, compared to 4.1% in the United States in terms of percentage of GDP as of 2019, according to data from the Brazilian Association of Software Companies (Associação Brasileira das Empresas de Software), or ABES, and the World Bank). Additionally, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for businesses to transform their end-consumer journey by implementing digital platforms and solutions to mitigate disruptions and maintain direct relationships with end-consumers. Accordingly, we believe that the expected recovery of the Latin American economy, coupled with the expectation of pro-business reforms in certain countries of the region, will create opportunities for strategic investments in the private sector, generating an increase in demand for digital solutions, and we believe we are well-positioned to be at the forefront of meeting this increase in demand.

Our Technology

Our technology is based on a multi-layered communications platform, focused on providing the building blocks to compose communications solutions for businesses and APIs that may be integrated into business applications through the following layers:

•

Solutions layer: a full suite of communications solutions, such as customer service, engagement, marketing and sales teams communications, that leverage our tools and communication channels to provide end-to-end use cases. These solutions provide business users the ability to fully manage communications throughout the end-consumer journey.

•

CX Insights layer: provides recommendations for customer journey improvements based on data and use cases, enabling businesses to enhance their end-consumer experiences.

•

Single Customer View layer: maps and correlates end-consumer data, providing an individual historical view of the customer journey that enables the ability to trigger and contextualize communications.

•

Tools layer: allows implementation of business rules, communication flows, document management and integration connections across multiple channels. This layer acts as a set of building blocks that can be combined to build a variety of use cases.

•

Channels layer: manages a complex third-party network of connections and agreements with providers, such as carriers, messaging apps and social networks that allows communications to reach an end-consumer device. This layer includes the monitoring of provider performance for quality, service and features. We also seek to ensure that our platform is as resilient as possible to network service provider outages or service disruptions.

Our Business Model and Our Communications Platform

The following chart summarizes our business model, communications platform (including channels and tools), use cases and business relationships with sales channel partners.

[MISSING IMAGE: tm2039074d10-org_ourbus4c.jpg]

Our communications platform empowers businesses of all sizes to create, scale and improve communications through a variety of communication channels. The solutions we offer range from basic APIs to full communication solutions, focused on providing an ideal fit for business requirements based on each use case and industry.

Businesses use our platform to interact with their end-consumers on communication channels such as SMS, voice and IP-based messaging service products (such as WhatsApp) and use our tools to automate, integrate and manage communications for multiple use cases across these channels. For example, some businesses use our visual builder — a tool that enables businesses to draw conversational flows or automation flow through a visual “non-code” interface — to design communication flows, such as chatbots or automated campaigns, without any need for coding skills. Other businesses adopt our communication solutions to manage marketing, customer services or sales teams’ communications.

Our platform, combined with our business model, empowers innovators within every business, by encouraging them to be autonomous and improve to evolve their end-consumer journey without upfront payments and complex systems implementation and integration. We may give businesses free access to our platform for a trial period to allow them test their use cases prior to entering into a contract with us. We continue to improve our average sales cycle (which consists on the period of time starting from our first active interaction with a prospective client until such client enters into a contract with us) and expedite the adoption of our solutions by customers. Our average overall sales cycle was 19 days in 2020, compared to 37 days in 2019. For small- and medium-sized companies, our average sales cycle was 11 days and 14 days in 2020, compared to 15 days and 33 days in 2019. For large companies, we also experienced considerable improvement in terms of average sales cycle from 63 days in 2019 to 30 days in 2020. We believe our frictionless sales process strategy for smaller businesses increases our conversion rate when compared to our competitors as most of them need a salesperson available for every customer contact and we do not. We believe we are well-positioned to continue our accelerated growth while maintaining a low cost of acquisition, based on our “self-service” platform, i.e., customers can directly acquire and use our services without interaction with our sales or support team, which allows sales channel partners to integrate some of our platform capabilities in their software to improve the offering of their products together with our cross-selling opportunities.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our business model is based primarily on interactions volume, which means our revenues scale as our customers increase their usage of our platform, while just a small share of our revenues are derived from subscriptions and project implementation services. As businesses increasingly adopt our platform with new use cases or for other aspects of their business, we have increased revenues and customer retention levels, resulting in a net revenue expansion rate of 112.8% year-over-year as of December 31, 2020 (or 119.7% giving pro forma effect to the Sirena Acquisition and the D1 Acquisition), compared to a net revenue expansion rate of 117.1% and 116.8% year-over-year as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

For a detailed description of the products we offer our customers, see “Business and Industry — Our Products.”

Our Competitive Advantages

We believe we have achieved our leadership position in Latin America as a result of the following core competitive advantages:

•

Composable Communications Platform: We are a communications enabler company focused on providing the building blocks to compose communications solutions for businesses and APIs that may be integrated into business applications. We believe that our developers are able to build a very wide range of use cases.

•

Comprehensive Platform with Highly Efficient Sales Channels: We offer a breadth of functionality, including voice and messaging communication that may be used across a range of devices. While businesses can rely on one of our sales channel partners to assist them with their implementation, SMBs can start using them within days of their implementation using our “self-service” platform. We classify our customers by segment according to their potential interaction volumes, employing an efficient sales channel strategy for each customer size.

•

Easy Adoption: Our platform may be adopted one use case at a time, which reduces the sales and adoption cycle. We may give businesses a trial period to allow them to build trust with us and adopt our platform. This approach eliminates upfront costs for our customers and minimizes technical implementation and integration complexities that typically hinder innovation.

•

Easy to Scale: With easy to use products with a high velocity to scale, our platform allows our customers to scale up or down without interruptions and delays caused by required applications redesign or communications infrastructure restructurings. Our platform is user friendly and we have been experiencing a continuous increase in its adoption by customers. The share of our customer base using more than one product increased from 1.8% in December 2019 to 6.8% (excluding Sirena) and 17.5% (including Sirena) in December 2020.

•

Reliability and Solid Reputation: Our platform consists of fault-tolerant systems that have enabled our customers to avoid any significant failures or downtime, making it reliable and robust.

•

Long Tail Go-to-Market: Our low entry price and “self-service” platform allow small businesses to acquire and use our solutions with or without onboarding team support. Our market has high margins and a large addressable market and small businesses can increasingly acquire our products through our “self-service” platform. In recent years, we have successfully automated SMS messaging at a rate of up to 5,350 messages per customer. We plan to continue evolving the process to improve our monthly automated SMS messages and include other products such as Voice, WhatsApp, customer service using chat, amongst others, and plan to simplify onboarding and automation in the future.

Our Growth Strategy

Our growth strategy is based on:

•

Deepening Our Technology Leadership: We plan to significantly invest in our technology platform by adding new software capabilities, including new solutions (e.g., commerce), tools (e.g., payments) and communication channels (e.g., new messaging apps). The combination of these solutions, tools and channels will enable us to provide new use cases to our customers and reinforce our one-stop shop market position in digital communications.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

Increasing Spend within Our Customer Base: We plan to invest in initiatives to improve our customers’ spending on our products and services, including new offers and incentives for upselling and cross-selling and better customer education, and invest in improved processes to increase usage of our platform, offers related to customer needs, and also improve our ability to integrate external systems in order to make it easy for our customers to connect their internal systems with our platform. We believe that each communication channel that we enable on our platform results in an upsell and cross-sell opportunity with a self-service acquisition journey and as our platform allows us to develop new products quickly and integrates the user journey by a same interface, we can use our software as a products showcase to incentivize users to adopt our offerings.

•

Accelerating Our Customer Acquisition Strategy: Based on a pay-as-you-go model, we plan to accelerate our customer acquisition strategy to increase new customers in the markets in which we operate.

Pursuing Targeted Acquisitions of Products and Technologies: We have a track record of successfully acquiring and integrating businesses and technologies that have provided us with new product offerings and capabilities and helped us to penetrate new markets. We may increase our geographic footprint by expanding our addressable market and pursuing acquisitions or strategic investments in businesses to strengthen our presence in the region. On July 24, 2020, we completed the acquisition of Sirena, a startup that offers communication solutions for sales teams via WhatsApp. We intend to continue to explore potential acquisitions and make targeted acquisitions that complement and strengthen our product portfolio and capabilities or provide us with access to new markets.

•

Increasing and Deepening Our Pan-Latin American Presence: We believe a substantial market opportunity exists for us to increase our international footprint across all of our product lines. We plan to invest in our regional expansion in Latin America so we can benefit from our strong brand recognition and scale the benefits of that market.

•

Scaling Our Go-to-Market Strategy: We plan to scale our go-to-market strategy by enhancing our indirect sales channel, which includes digital agencies, system integrators and software sales channel companies. It leverages our platform with additional services, know-how and offerings to educate the market about improving customer experiences with multi-channel communications and makes our products and processes more attractive for a larger target market.

Recent Developments

Pending D1 Acquisition

In March 2021, Zenvia Brazil entered into certain purchase agreements for the direct and indirect acquisition of 100% of the share capital of D1. D1 is a platform that connects different data sources to enable a single customer view layer, allowing the creation of multichannel communications, generation of variable documents, authenticated message delivery and contextualized conversational experiences.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Upon consummation of the D1 Acquisition, we will also become indirect holders of 100% of the share capital of Smarkio, a wholly-owned subsidiary of D1 and a cloud-based company that combines an automated marketing platform through chatbots with a platform for creating, integrating and processing conversational interfaces that can be used by developers and business users.

COVID-19

As a result of the global outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus, or COVID-19, unprecedented economic uncertainties have arisen that continue to have an adverse impact on global economic and market conditions, including in Brazil. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, and the Brazilian federal government declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19. In addition, state and municipal authorities in Brazil suspended a variety of economic activities as part of measures to mitigate the spread of the virus.

The global impact of the COVID-19 outbreak has rapidly evolved and it presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our future performance and financial results. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, we have implemented several measures aimed at safeguarding the health of our employees and the stability of our operations, including: (1) the implementation of remote work arrangements; (2) restrictions on all business travel and the postponement or cancellation of other planned events or their shift to virtual-only experiences, (3) the development of wellbeing and work life balance initiatives; (4) the provision of a utilities stipend to assist our employees with increased cost of electricity, internet and other expenses resulting from remote work arrangements, and (5) increased communication with our employees, keeping them informed of the impacts of COVID-19 on their health. In addition, we have retained all of our employees during the COVID-19 pandemic and continued to hire personnel.

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, in order to help small and medium entrepreneurs who needed to adapt quickly to this new reality, we made available our multichannel service tool free of monthly fees from April through July 2020, which gave them access to Zenvia Chat, our customer service software, and serve their clients through several communication channels, such as e-mail, Facebook Messenger, Mercado Livre, Telegram and website, among others. In partnership with Neoway, and in light of the risk of a systemic crises resulting from the high demand of health care systems resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, we developed a screening chatbot where each individual can answer questions on their own cell phone / computer. According to the symptoms presented by the user, our chatbot provides a recommendation, following the protocol developed by the Telemedicine University of Rio Grande do Sul. If the recommendation is to go to the hospital, the chatbot locates the nearest health posts and hospitals, using a geolocation system. This technology is available completely free of charge to any public agency that wants to use it.

The COVID-19 pandemic is also having an impact on our customers (and prospective customers) behavior as it is accelerating their digitalization plans, which creates opportunities for us, particularly for our IP-based messaging service products offerings (such as WhatsApp). Nonetheless, in the six months ended June 30, 2020, we suffered an impact as we believe that our sales would have been higher in the absence of COVID-19 pandemic, and such impact may continue for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. For

TABLE OF CONTENTS

example, certain of our customers reduced the usage of our SMS text messaging services in April as a cost-saving initiative designed to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on their businesses. We continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and the well-being of our employees.

For further information, please see “Risk Factors — Certain Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry — The outbreak of highly communicable diseases worldwide, such as the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, may lead to greater volatility in the global financial and capital markets resulting in an economic slowdown that may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial performance and the trading price of our Class A common shares.”

Zenvia Anywhere

In October 2020, we announced our plan to implement Zenvia Anywhere, a permanent remote work arrangement for our employees for an indefinite period of time. The concept of a remote work arrangement for our employees started as a safety measure resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic; however, based on positive employee feedback and our initiatives to attract talent no matter an individual’s physical location and to build a global team mentality, we decided to fully transition our employees to remote work with Zenvia Anywhere. As part of the Zenvia Anywhere program, we provide employees with financial assistance to assist them with the increased cost of electricity, internet and other expenses resulting from a compulsory remote work arrangement. We will also provide employees with financial assistance for the setup of their home office. We expect to use any net cost-savings as a result of Zenvia Anywhere for teambuilding activities, employee and leadership training, the modernization of our São Paulo headquarters and the possibility of coworking remotely around the world.

Our Preliminary Results for the First Quarter of 2021

Our financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not yet finalized. The following information reflects our preliminary results for this period:

Our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is expected to be between R$120,239 thousand and R$123,920 thousand, an increase of approximately 28.7% to 32.6% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to (1) a net revenue expansion rate ranging from 108.5% to 111.5%, which reflects the growth in revenue from existing and new customers, and (2) the consolidation in the three months ended March 31, 2021 of Sirena’s revenue in an amount between R$7,364 thousand to R$7,589 thousand.

Our cost of services for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is expected to be between R$89,639 thousand and R$93,320 thousand, an increase of approximately 32.7% to 38.2% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to (1) an increase in the volume usage of our platform, (2) increase in expense with carriers (mostly resulting from an increase in the prices charged by them to send SMS messages — see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Macroeconomic Environment”), (3) amortization of intangible assets acquired from business combinations (between R$3,001 thousand to R$3,189 thousand) and (4) the consolidation in the three months ended March 31, 2021 of Sirena’s cost of services in an amount between R$1,504 thousand to R$1,729 thousand.

As a result of the above, our gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is expected to be between R$27,532 thousand and R$31,213 thousand, an increase of approximately 6.3% to 20.5% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Such amount includes the consolidation in the three months ended March 31, 2021 of Sirena’s gross profit in an amount between R$5,672 thousand to R$5,897 thousand.

Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is expected to be between R$30,865 thousand and R$27,184 thousand, an increase in net loss between R$30,117 thousand and R$33,798 thousand as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to compensation expenses related to the acquisitions of Sirena and TotalVoice, general expenses derived from the consolidation of Sirena’s results since July 2020, increased expenses related to the growth of our operations, recording of provision for bonuses that are expected to be made to some of our officers and employees as a result of the consummation

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of this offering, exchange variation expenses and increased interest and financial expenses related to new indebtedness contracted during the period. These amounts are expected to be partially offset by deferred income tax credit resulting from our net loss.

Our active customers as of March 31, 2021 are expected to amount to 10,191, an increase of approximately 30.6% as compared to March 31, 2020 and of 7.9% as compared to December 31, 2020.

D1 Preliminary Results for the First Quarter of 2021

D1 financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not yet finalized. The following information reflects its preliminary results for this period:

D1 net operating revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is expected to be between R$19,068 thousand and R$19,652 thousand, an increase of approximately R$15,228 thousand to R$15,812 thousand as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to (1) the consolidation in the three months ended March 31, 2021 of Smarkio’s net revenue in an amount between R$11,207 thousand to R$11,550 thousand and (2) the increased adoption of solutions offered to current customers.

D1 cost of services provided for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is expected to be between R$8,987 thousand and R$9,571 thousand, an increase of approximately R$6,883 thousand to R$7,467 thousand as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to (1) the consolidation in the three months ended March 31, 2021 of Smarkio’s cost of services provided in an amount between R$3,989 thousand to R$4,332 thousand, (2) sales growth, which resulted in the increased use of cloud computing and communication brokers and (3) amortization of intangible assets acquired from business combinations (between R$1,238 thousand to R$1,316 thousand).

As a result of the above, D1 gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is expected to be between R$9,594 thousand and R$10,178 thousand, an increase of approximately R$7,858 thousand to R$8,442 thousand as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. Such amount includes the consolidation in the three months ended March 31, 2021 of Smarkio’s gross profit in an amount between R$6,932 thousand to R$7,276 thousand.

D1 loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is expected to be between R$3,605 thousand and R$4,189 thousand, an increase of net loss between 1.4% to 17.9% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to (1) continuous investment in sales and marketing, (2) research and development expenses to fuel product development and sales expansion, and (3) financial expenses relating to interest on loans and inflation adjustment — IGPM on the amount payable to Smarkio’s selling shareholders.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Preliminary Results

While the preliminary results have been prepared in good faith and based on information available at the time of preparation, no assurance can be made that actual results will not change as a result of our (and D1’s) management’s review of results and other factors. The preliminary results presented above are subject to finalization and closing of our and D1’s accounting books and records (which have yet to be performed) and should not be viewed as a substitute for full quarterly financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. The preliminary results depend on several factors, including weaknesses in our internal controls and financial reporting process (as described under “Risk Factors”). In addition, the estimates and assumptions underlying the preliminary results include, among other things, economic, competitive, regulatory and financial market conditions and business decisions that may not be accurately reflected and that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, including, among others, risks and uncertainties described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. There can be no assurance that the underlying assumptions or estimates will be realized; in particular, while we do not expect that our and D1’s estimated preliminary results will differ materially from our actual results for the three months ended March 31, 2021, we cannot assure you that our estimated preliminary results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 will be indicative of our financial results for future interim periods or for the full year ending December 31, 2021. As a result, the preliminary results

Summary of Risk Factors

An investment in our Class A common shares is subject to a number of risks, including risks relating to our business and industry, risks related to Brazil and risks related to the offering and our Class A common shares. The following list summarizes some, but not all, of these risks. Please read the information in the section entitled “Risk Factors” for a more thorough description of these and other risks.

Risks relating to our business and industry

•

The market for our products and platform is relatively new and unproven, may decline or experience limited growth and is dependent on businesses continuing to adopt our platform and use our products. If our market does not experience significant growth or demand for our products decreases, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

•

A substantial percentage of our revenue is generated from our SMS text messaging service and a reduction in our revenue from this service could materially adversely affect our operation results, cash flows and liquidity. As a result, a reduction in revenue from this source of income, whether due to increased competition, cost increase from network service providers, adverse market conditions or a general reduction in demand for SMS text messaging services or other factors (including our inability to generate revenue from the other products we offer to our customers), could materially adversely affect our operational results, cash flows and liquidity.

•

A significant portion of our revenue is currently concentrated on our outlier customers and an economic slowdown affecting these customers could lead to decreased demand for our products and services, which could adversely affect us. Therefore, a slowdown in the industries in which such customers are concentrated due to market forces, macroeconomic conditions or regulatory changes could result in decreased demand for our products and services.

•

The outbreak of highly communicable diseases worldwide, such as the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, may lead to greater volatility in the global financial and capital markets resulting in an economic slowdown that may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial performance and the trading price of our Class A common shares. Although the duration and severity of the COVID-19

TABLE OF CONTENTS

outbreak and the degree of its impact on our business is uncertain and difficult to predict, compliance with social distancing and shelter-in-place measures have already impacted our day-to-day operations.

•

Failure to set optimal prices for our products could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. This can result in us incurring increased costs that we may be unable or unwilling to pass through to our customers, which could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.

•

If we cannot keep pace with rapid developments and changes in our industry and fail to continue to acquire new customers, the use of our products and services could cease to grow or decline and, thereby, adversely affect our revenues, business and prospects. Although we believe there is still a growing market for SMS text messaging services, there has been an increase in alternative messaging channels that use data connections.

•

We may face challenges in the expansion of our operations and our offerings into new market segments and/or new geographic regions within and outside of Brazil. As we expand into new market segments or geographies, we will face challenges associated with entering markets in which we have limited or no experience and in which we may not be well-known. Offering our services in new industries or new geographic regions may require substantial expenditures and takes considerable time, and we may not recover our investments in new markets in a timely manner or at all.

•

We may pursue strategic acquisitions or investments which may divert our management’s attention and result in reduced cash levels, increased indebtedness or dilution to our shareholders. The failure of an acquisition or investment to produce the anticipated results, the failure to consummate a pending acquisition (including the D1 Acquisition) or the inability to integrate an acquired company fully, could adversely affect our business.

Risks relating to Brazil

•

The Brazilian federal government has exercised, and continues to exercise, significant influence over the Brazilian economy. This involvement as well as Brazil’s political, regulatory, legal and economic conditions could harm us and the price of our Class A common shares. We and the market price of our securities may be harmed by changes in Brazilian government policies, as well as general economic factors.

•

The ongoing economic uncertainty and political instability in Brazil, including as a result of ongoing investigations, may harm us and the price of our Class A common shares. Brazil’s political environment has historically influenced, and continues to influence, the performance of the country’s economy. Political crises have affected and continue to affect the confidence of investors and the general public, which have historically resulted in economic deceleration and heightened volatility in the securities offered by companies with significant operations in Brazil.

•

Inflation and certain measures by the Brazilian government to curb inflation have historically harmed the Brazilian economy and Brazilian capital markets, and high levels of inflation in the future would harm our business and the price of our Class A common shares. Inflation, policies adopted to curb inflationary pressures and uncertainties regarding possible future governmental intervention have contributed to economic uncertainty and heightened volatility in the Brazilian capital markets.

•

Exchange rate instability may have adverse effects on the Brazilian economy, us and the price of our Class A common shares. Depending on the circumstances, either devaluation or appreciation of the real relative to the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies could restrict the growth of the Brazilian economy, as well as affecting our business, results of operations and profitability.

•

Infrastructure and workforce deficiency in Brazil may impact economic growth and have a material adverse effect on us. Our performance depends on the overall health and growth of the Brazilian economy.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Risks relating to this offering and our Class A common shares

•

There is no existing market for our common shares, and we do not know whether one will develop to provide you with adequate liquidity. If our share price fluctuates after this offering, you could lose a significant part of your investment. Prior to this offering, there has not been a public market for our Class A common shares. If an active trading market does not develop, investors may have difficulty selling any of our Class A common shares that they buy.

•

The market price of our shares may be volatile or may decline sharply or suddenly, regardless of our operating performance, and we may not be able to meet investors’ or analysts’ expectations. You may not be able to resell your shares for the initial offer price or above it and you may lose all or part of your investment. We cannot guarantee that the market price after this offering will be equal to or higher than prices in private traded transactions of our common shares that occurred from time to time prior to the offering.

•

Our controlling shareholders will, in the aggregate, own 100% of our outstanding Class B common shares, which represent approximately 94.76% of the voting power of our issued capital and 64.39% of our total equity ownership following the offering, and will control all matters requiring shareholder approval. Our controlling shareholders also have the right to nominate the totality of our board of directors and consent rights over certain corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership limits your ability to influence corporate matters.

•

The disparity in voting rights among classes of our shares may have a potential adverse effect on the price of our Class A common shares, and may limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters. Given the ten-to-one voting ratio between our Class B ordinary and Class A common shares, the holders of our Class B common shares collectively will continue to control a majority of the combined voting power of our shares and therefore be able to control all matters submitted to our shareholders so long as the Class B common shares represent at least 9.1% of all outstanding shares of our Class A ordinary and Class B common shares in addition to certain other rights to which our controlling shareholders are entitled (see risk factor immediately above and “Description of Share Capital”).

•

Our status as a controlled company and a foreign private issuer exempts us from certain of the corporate governance standards of the Nasdaq, limiting the protections afforded to investors. Accordingly, you will not have the same protections provided to shareholders of companies that are subject to all Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

Emerging Growth Company Status

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering, (b) in which we have total annual revenues of at least US$1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds US$700.0 million as of the prior June 30, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than US$1.07 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. As an emerging growth company, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies in the United States that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, exemptions from the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and any Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, rules, including any future audit rule promulgated by the PCAOB (unless the SEC determines otherwise). Accordingly, the information about us available to you will not be the same as, and may be more limited than, the information available to shareholders of a non-emerging growth company. In addition, under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised U.S. GAAP accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. Given that we currently report and expect to continue to report under IFRS as issued by the IASB, we will not be able to avail ourselves of this extended transition period and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required by the IASB.

shareholders. We currently intend to retain all available funds and future earnings, if any, to fund the development and expansion of our business and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. See “Dividends and Dividend Policy.”

Lock-up agreements

We, all of our directors, officers and substantially all of our shareholders have agreed with the underwriters, subject to certain exceptions, not to offer, sell, or dispose of any shares of our share capital or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of our share capital during the 180-day period following the date of this prospectus. Members of our board of directors and our executive officers have agreed to substantially similar lock-up provisions, subject to certain exceptions. See “Underwriting.”

Risk factors

See “Risk Factors” and the other information included in this prospectus for a discussion of factors you should consider before deciding to invest in our Class A common shares.

Cayman Islands exempted company with limited
liability

We are a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability. The rights of shareholders and the responsibilities of members of our board of directors may be different from the rights of shareholders and responsibilities of directors in companies governed by the laws of U.S. jurisdictions. In particular, as a matter of Cayman Islands law, directors of a Cayman Islands company owe fiduciary duties to the company and separately a duty of care, diligence and skill to the company. Under Cayman Islands law, directors and officers owe the following fiduciary duties: (1) duty to act in good faith in what the director or officer believes to be in the best interests of the company as a whole; (2) duty to exercise powers for the purposes for which those powers were conferred and not for a collateral purpose; (3) directors should not properly fetter the exercise of future discretion; (4) duty to exercise powers fairly as between different sections of shareholders; (5) duty to exercise independent judgment; and (6) duty not to put themselves in a position in which there is a conflict between their duty to the company and their personal interests. Our Articles of Association have varied this last obligation by providing that a director must disclose the nature and extent of his or her interest in any contract or arrangement, and following such disclosure and subject to any separate requirement under applicable law or the listing rules of the Nasdaq, and unless disqualified by the chairman of the relevant meeting, such director may vote in respect of any transaction or arrangement in which he or she is interested and may be counted in the quorum at the meeting. In comparison, under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a director of a Delaware corporation owes fiduciary duties to the corporation and its stockholders comprised of the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. Such duties prohibit self-dealing by a director and mandate that the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally. See “Description of Share Capital — Principal Differences between Cayman Islands and U.S. Corporate Law.”

Unless otherwise indicated, all information contained in this prospectus assumes no exercise of the option granted to the underwriters to purchase up to additional 1,936,364 Class A common shares in connection with the offering.

Selected Operating Data

The following table sets forth summary information regarding certain of our key performance metrics as of the periods indicated:

	As of December 31,
	2020		2019		2018
Active customers(1) (#)		9,442		7,751		5,871
Revenue growth rate(2)		21.4%		28.1%		—
Net revenue expansion rate(2)		112.8%		117.1%		116.8%

(1)

We believe that the number of our active customers is an important indicator of the growth of our business, the market acceptance of our platform and future revenue trends. We define an active customer as an account (based on an individual taxpayer registration number) at the end of any period that was the source of any amount of revenue for us in the preceding three months. We classify a customer from which we generated no revenue in the preceding three months as an inactive customer.

(2)

We believe that net revenue expansion rate is one of the most reliable indicators of our future revenue trends. Our ability to drive growth and generate incremental revenue depends, in part, on our ability to maintain and grow our relationships with customers to increase their use of our platform. An important way in which we track our performance in this regard is by measuring the net revenue expansion rate for our customer. Our net revenue expansion rate increases, for instance, when (a) customers increase use of a product for the same application, (b) customers increase the use of the same product to new applications, (c) customers adopt new products offered by us; (d) we raise our prices on offered products without change in usage volumes or (e) given that our the net revenue expansion rate is calculated in reais, there is a depreciation of the real vis-à-vis the currency of the countries in which we operate. Our net revenue expansion rate decreases, for instance, when (a) customers cease or reduce usage of a product, (b) we lower our prices on offered products or (c) given that our the net revenue expansion rate is calculated in reais, there is an appreciation of the real vis-à-vis the currency of the countries in which we operate. We believe measuring our net revenue expansion rate on revenue generated from our customer provides a more meaningful indication of the performance of our efforts to increase revenue from existing customers. In order to calculate net revenue expansion, we first select the cohort of customers on a prior trailing twelve months period, sum up the total revenue of these customers for the applicable twelve month period and divide this sum by the sum of the total revenue of these same customers on the prior trailing twelve month period.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our Class A common shares involves significant risks. Before you decide to invest in our Class A common shares, you should carefully consider all of the information set forth in this prospectus, including the risks described below. Note that an investment in the securities of issuers whose operations are located in emerging market countries such as Brazil involves a higher degree of risk than an investment in the securities of issuers whose operations are located in the United States or other more developed countries. In the event that any of these risks occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects may be materially adversely affected and, as a result, the value of our Class A common shares may decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. We currently believe that the risks described below are those that may adversely affect us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently believe to be immaterial, may have a material adverse effect on us in the future.

When determining whether to invest, you should also refer to the other information contained in this prospectus, including our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto. You should also carefully review the cautionary statements referred to under “Forward-looking statements.” Our actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated in this prospectus.

For the purposes of this section, the indication that a risk, uncertainty or problem may or will have an “adverse effect on us” or will “adversely affect us” means that the risk, uncertainty or problem could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, prospects and/or the liquidity or trading price of our Class A common shares, except as otherwise indicated or as the context may otherwise require. You should view similar expressions in this section as having a similar meaning.

Certain Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry

The market for our products and platform is relatively new and unproven, may decline or experience limited growth and is dependent on businesses continuing to adopt our platform and use our products.

We develop and provide a cloud-based communications platform that enables businesses to integrate several communication capabilities (including short message service, or SMS, WhatsApp, Voice, WebChat and Facebook Messenger) into their software applications, empowering them to simplify communications along their end-consumers journey. This market is relatively new, unproven and subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes to end-consumer behavior, technologies, products and industry standards. The utilization of tools such as APIs and Bots by businesses to build, foster and simplify communications with their end-consumer is still relatively new, and businesses may not recognize the need for, or benefits of, our products and platform. Moreover, if they do not recognize the need for and benefits of our products and platform, they may decide to adopt alternative products and services to satisfy some portion of their business needs. In order to grow our business and extend our market position, we intend to focus on educating current and potential customers about the benefits of our products and platform, expanding the functionality of our products and bringing new technologies to market to increase market acceptance and use of our platform. Our ability to expand the market that our products and platform address depends upon a number of factors, including the cost, performance and perceived value associated with such products and platform. The market for our products and platform could fail to grow significantly or there could be a reduction in demand for our products as a result of a lack of acceptance by businesses, technological challenges, competing products and services, decreases in spending by current and prospective customers, and weakening macroeconomic conditions, among other causes. If our market does not experience significant growth or demand for our products decreases, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

A substantial portion of our revenue is currently dependent on our SMS text messaging service. As a result, a reduction in revenue from this source of income, whether due to increased competition, cost increase from network service providers, adverse market conditions or a general reduction in demand for SMS text messaging services or other factors (including our inability to generate revenue from the other products we offer to our customers), could materially adversely affect our operational results, cash flows and liquidity.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

See also “— If we cannot keep pace with rapid developments and changes in our industry and fail to continue to acquire new customers, the use of our products and services could cease to grow or decline and, thereby, adversely affect our revenues, business and prospects.”

A significant portion of our revenue is currently concentrated in our outlier customers, which are our top 10 largest customers in terms of revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, 33.1%, 34.2% and 37.0%, respectively, of our revenue was derived from such customers. Therefore, a slowdown in the industries in which such customers are concentrated due to market forces, macroeconomic conditions or regulatory changes could result in decreased demand for our products and services. In particular, such customers are particularly vulnerable to the effects of adverse macroeconomic conditions due to the corresponding impacts that macroeconomic factors typically have on end-consumer spending. Such effects may affect our revenue volumes, results of operations and profit margins. For example, certain of our outlier customers reduced the usage of our SMS text messaging services in April as a cost-saving initiative designed to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on their businesses. In addition, any adverse market forces affecting the industry in which our customers are currently concentrated also increases our counterparty risk as it may heightens their risk of default.

Outbreaks or potential disease outbreaks may adversely affect the global capital market (including the capital market where our Class A common shares are traded), the global economy (including the Latin America economy) and the trading price of our Class A common shares. Historically, some epidemics and regional or global outbreaks, such as the zika virus, ebola, H5N5 virus (popularly known as avian influenza), foot-and-mouth disease, H1N1 virus (influenza A, popularly known as swine flu), middle east respiratory syndrome (MERS) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) have affected certain sectors of the economy in the countries where these diseases have spread.

The COVID-19 pandemic and measures adopted to contain its spread have significantly restricted the movement of people, goods and services worldwide, including in all of the regions in which we operate, adversely affected the global financial and capital markets and led to an economic crises in many countries, including Brazil. Although the duration and severity of the COVID-19 outbreak and the degree of its impact on our business is uncertain and difficult to predict, compliance with social distancing and shelter-in-place measures have already impacted our day-to-day operations. Like many other companies, including our customers and prospective customers, on March 16, 2020, our management decided to close our offices and we started to gradually reopen them as from August 31, 2020, to the extent allowed by municipal local rules. We cannot guarantee that we will not close our office again due to the outbreak of COVID-19 or that we will not need to take additional measures due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have transitioned our employees to a remote work arrangement (see “Summary — Recent Developments — Zenvia Anywhere”), restricted all business travel and postponed or cancelled other planned events and shifted interactions with our customers and business development activities through virtual-only meetings and we may deem it advisable to similarly alter, postpone or cancel entirely additional customer, employee or industry events in the future.

The continued spread of COVID-19 could have a far-reaching and a material adverse impact on the financial capacity of our customers, suppliers and third-party business partners and potentially lead to an ongoing global economic downturn, which could result in constrained supply or reduced customer demand and willingness to enter into or renew contracts with us, any of which could have a material adverse effect on us. Customers are charged based on the usage of our platform, and most of our customers do not have long-term contractual arrangements with us and, therefore, most of them may reduce or cease their use of our platform at any time without penalty or termination charges. If our customers are unable to pay us or

TABLE OF CONTENTS

reduce or discontinue their contract with us, we may be adversely affected by the inability to collect payment amounts or a reduction in revenue. We also may experience impact from delayed sales cycles, including due to delays with signing or renewals of contracts on the part of existing and prospective customers, or reducing budgets or the commitment term related to our product and service offerings. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, we suffered an impact as we believe that our sales would have been higher in the absence of COVID-19 pandemic, and such impact may continue for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. For instance, a few of our customers are implementing cost-saving measures to manage the COVID-19 pandemic, which includes setting caps to their IT and marketing budgets, which may adversely impact the usage levels of our products by them.

On the other hand, as modern-day society has become increasingly dependent on usage of voice and messaging services for communication needs, even more so in light of the restriction on movement of people and transition to a remote workforce due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe there will be increased strain on and demand for the telecommunications infrastructure, including our voice and messaging products, which will require us to make additional investments to increase network capacity, the availability of which may be limited. For example, if the data centers on which we rely for our cloud infrastructure and the network service providers with which we interconnect are unable to keep up with capacity needs or if relevant governmental or regulatory authorities limit our bandwidth, our customers may experience service delays, interruptions or outages. From time to time, including due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our data center suppliers and our network service providers have had outages which resulted in disruptions in service for our customers. In certain jurisdictions in which we operate or plan to operate, governmental and regulatory authorities had announced that, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the implementation of traffic management measures on telecommunications operators may be justified to avoid network congestion. Such traffic management measures could result in customers experiencing service delays, interruptions or outages. Any of these events could harm our reputation, impact our customer relationships, cause customers to reconsider or terminate the use of our products, impair our ability to increase revenue from existing customers and grow our customer base, subject us to financial penalties and liabilities under our service level agreements and otherwise adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Changes to consumer behavior due to the COVID outbreak may also affect our customers, and as a consequence the use in their business of our platform for confirmations, notifications and related use cases.

In addition, a global recession and/or economic slowdown, notably in Brazil, including rising unemployment, which may result in less commercial activity, both during the COVID-19 pandemic and after the outbreak has subsided, has the potential to decrease the demand for our products. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected global economic and market conditions, which are likely to continue for an extended period and could result in decreased business spending by our customers and prospective customers, reduced demand for our solutions, longer sales cycles and lower renewal rates by our customers, all of which could have a material adverse impact on our business operations and financial condition. We also believe that the extent of the pandemic impacts will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and unpredictable, including, among others, the duration and geographical distribution of the outbreak, its severity, actions to contain the virus or treat its impact and how quickly and to what extent the usual economic and operational conditions may be resumed. After the COVID-19 outbreak, we may continue to have materially adverse impacts on our business as a result of the national and global economic impact, including any recession, economic slowdown or increase in unemployment levels in Brazil that occurred or may occur. While we have developed and continue to develop plans to help mitigate the potential negative impact of the outbreak on our business, these efforts may not be effective and a protracted economic downturn may limit the effectiveness of our mitigation efforts.

Failure to set optimal prices for our products could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We charge our customers based on the use of our products. One of our pricing challenges is that the SMS fees paid by us to the network service providers, and on whose networks we transmit such SMS communications, can vary given certain elements that may be difficult for us to predict such as: pricing increases upon renewal of our agreements with such providers and/or annual monetary adjustments on SMS fees based on index or time period of index that we cannot replicate in our customer contracts and/or

TABLE OF CONTENTS

certain minimum take or pay SMS volume purchase obligations imposed by network services providers on us and the volume of which we cannot guarantee will be contracted by our customers or new customers. Additionally, such fees paid by us to network service providers can be also affected by the enactment of new rules and regulations (including an increased amount of applicable taxes or governmental fees). This can result in us incurring increased costs that we may be unable or unwilling to pass through to our customers, which could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. For more information about our relationship with network service providers, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation — Material Contracts.”

Further, as competitors introduce new products or services at prices that are more competitive than ours for similar products and services, we may be unable to attract new customers or retain existing customers based on our historical pricing. As we expand internationally, we also must determine the appropriate price to enable us to compete effectively internationally. In addition, if the mix of products sold changes, including the ongoing shift to IP-based products (such as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger), then we may need to, or choose to, revise our pricing to remain competitive. As a result, in the future we may be required or choose to reduce our prices or change our pricing model, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The customer experience communications market in which we compete is subject to rapid and significant technological changes, new product and service roll outs, evolving industry standards and changing customer needs. Our platform is currently substantially dependent on our SMS text messaging services. Although we believe there is still a growing market for SMS text messaging services, there has been an increase in alternative messaging channels that use data connections such as internet protocol based, or IP-based, messaging services, e.g., WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, WeChat, Telegram and Line.

In order to remain competitive and continue to acquire new customers, we are continually involved in a number of projects to develop new products and services. These projects carry risks, such as cost overruns, delays in delivery, performance problems and lack of client adoption. Any delay in the delivery of new services or the failure to differentiate our services or to accurately predict and address market demand could render our services less desirable, or even obsolete, to our customers. Furthermore, despite the evolving market for customer experience communications, the market may not continue to develop rapidly enough for us to recover the costs we incur in developing new services targeted at this market.

In addition, we deliver services designed to simplify the way that businesses connect with their end-consumers. Any failure to deliver an effective and secure service or any performance issue that arises with a new service could result in significant processing or reporting errors or other losses. As a result of these factors, our development efforts could result in increased costs and we could also experience a loss in business that could reduce our earnings or could cause a loss of revenue if scheduled new services are not delivered to our customers on a timely basis or do not perform as anticipated. We also, and may in the future, rely in part on third parties, including some of our existing and potential competitors, for the development of, and access to, new technologies. Our future success will depend in part on our ability to develop or adapt to technological changes and evolving industry standards. We cannot predict the effects of technological changes on our business. If we are unable to develop, adapt or access technological changes or evolving industry standards necessary to meet our customers’ needs on a timely and cost-effective basis, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Furthermore, our competitors may have the ability to devote more financial and operational resources than us to the development of new technologies, products and services. If successful, their development efforts could render our services less desirable to clients, resulting in the loss of clients or a reduction in the fees we could generate from our offerings.

Given the relevance of WhatsApp as a channel of communication in Brazil (and in other countries of Latin America), we expect to devote more of our resources to the integration of WhatsApp into our platform and deploying additional IP-based communication products going forward (such as products to be

TABLE OF CONTENTS

integrated with Facebook Messenger). Although there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully deploy and expand our WhatsApp-integrated products, if we are successful in deploying and escalating such products, we expect to be increasingly dependent on this product over time since WhatsApp has become a preferred channel of communication in Brazil and elsewhere in Latin America. Since WhatsApp is notably strict about the manner in which companies are allowed to interact with WhatsApp users, changes in the policies or in the terms and conditions of use of this communication channel might also adversely affect market potential and attractiveness for WhatsApp based solutions in the event such changes result in a decrease of possible use cases or result in increases on message content restrictions.

If we fail to anticipate and adequately respond to rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, changing regulations, and changing consumer trends, requirements or preferences, our products may become less competitive, which may adversely affect our sales.

We need to understand our consumers’ behavior and needs in order to prepare for the next shift in the relationship between businesses and their end-consumers so that we are well positioned to propose and develop new products to support this change in consumer trends and behavior. Additionally, we need to understand the communication channel of choice between businesses and their end-consumers throughout all phases of a customer journey so that we are in a position to quickly develop and deploy the communication channel that businesses need to most effectively communicate with their end-consumers.

We cannot guarantee that we will always be able to offer the products and services sought by our customers. We are subject to potential changes to consumer habits as well as to demand for products and services by our customers (and the end-consumers of our customers). This requires us to adapt to their preferences on an ongoing basis. Accordingly, we may not be able to anticipate or respond adequately to changes in the habits of our consumers (and the habits of the end-consumers of our customers), which may adversely affect our sales. In addition, we cannot guarantee that the habits of our customers (and the habits of the end-consumers of our customers) will not change due to factors such as limitations or restrictions on the movement of people, including due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, if there are changes in customer habits, we cannot guarantee that we will be efficient and effective in adapting to meet those habits.

The market for communications in general, and cloud communications in particular, is subject to rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, changing regulations, as well as changing customer needs, requirements and preferences. We may not be able to adapt quickly enough to meet our customers’ requirements, preferences and industry standards. We may face obstacles in our search for a digital transformation related to corporate culture, business complexity and the lack of processes that make employee collaboration and integration feasible. These challenges may limit the growth of our platform and adversely affect our business and results of operations. The success of our business will depend, in part, on our ability to adapt and respond effectively to these changes on a timely basis. If we are unable to develop new products that satisfy our customers and provide enhancements and new features for our existing products that keep pace with rapid technological and industry change and applicable industry standards, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. If new technologies emerge that are able to deliver competitive products and services at lower prices than ours and more efficiently, more conveniently or more securely, such technologies could adversely impact our ability to compete effectively. If we do not respond to the urgency in meeting new standards and practices, our platform and our own technology may become obsolete and materially adversely affect our results.

Degradation of the quality of the products and services we offer could diminish demand for our products and services, adversely affecting our ability to attract and retain customers, harming our business and results of operations and subjecting us to liability.

Our customers expect a consistent level of quality in the provision of our products and services. Our customers use our products for important aspects of their businesses, and any errors, defects or disruptions to our products and any other performance problems with our products could damage our customers’ businesses and, in turn, harm our brand and reputation and erode customer trust. Although we regularly update our products, they may contain undetected errors, failures, vulnerabilities and bugs when first introduced or released. Real or perceived errors, failures or bugs in our products could result in negative

TABLE OF CONTENTS

publicity, loss of, or delay in, market acceptance of our platform, loss of competitive position, lower customer retention or claims by customers for losses sustained by them. In such events, we may be required, or may choose, for customer relations or other reasons, to expend additional resources in order to help correct the problem, which may result in increased costs to us. Any failure to maintain the high quality of our products and services, or a market perception that we do not maintain a high quality service, could erode customer trust and adversely affect our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition.

If we are not able to maintain and enhance our brand and increase market awareness of our company and products, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

We believe that maintaining and enhancing the “Zenvia” brand identity and increasing market awareness of our company and products, is critical to achieving widespread acceptance of our platform, to strengthen our relationships with our existing customers and to our ability to attract new customers. The successful promotion of our brand will depend largely on our continued marketing efforts, our ability to continue to offer high quality products, and our ability to successfully differentiate our products and platform from competing products and services. Our brand promotion activities may not be successful or yield increased revenue.

Negative publicity about us, our products or our platform could materially and adversely impact our ability to attract and retain customers, our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The promotion of our brand also requires us to make substantial expenditures, and we anticipate that these expenditures will increase as our market becomes more competitive and as we expand into new markets. To the extent that these activities increase revenue, this revenue may not be enough to offset the increased expenses we incurred. We have typically relied on marketing and promotional events and in-person meetings to facilitate customer sign-ups and generate leads for potential customers and we cannot predict whether virtual marketing events and phone or virtual sales interactions will be as successful as in-person events and meetings or, for how long, or the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to constrain our marketing, promotional and sales activities. If we do not successfully maintain and enhance our brand, our business may not grow, our pricing power may be reduced relative to our competitors and we may lose customers, all of which would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our business depends on customers increasing their use of our products, and any loss of customers or decline in their use of our products could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, our customers generally do not have long-term contractual arrangements with us and may cease to use our products at any time without penalties or termination charges.

Our ability to grow and generate incremental revenue depends, in part, on our ability to maintain and grow our relationships with existing customers (including any customers acquired through our acquisitions) and to have them increase their usage of our platform. Customers are charged based on the actual usage volume of our products, and if they do not increase their use of our products, our revenue may decline and our results of operations may be adversely affected. For more information as to our product offerings, see “Business and Industry — Our Customers.”

Most of our customers do not have long-term contractual arrangements with us and may reduce or cease their use of our products at any time without penalty or termination charges provided they give us thirty days’ prior written notice. Customers may terminate or reduce their use of our products for a number of reasons, including if they are not satisfied with our products, the value proposition of our products or our ability to meet their needs and expectations. We cannot accurately predict customers’ usage levels and the loss of customers or reductions in their usage levels of our products may each have a negative impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. If a significant number of customers cease using, or reduce their usage of our products, we may be required to spend significantly more on sales and marketing initiatives than we currently plan to spend in order to maintain or increase revenue from customers. Such additional sales and marketing expenditures could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. See “— A significant portion of our revenue is currently concentrated on our outlier customers and an economic slowdown affecting these customers could lead to decreased demand for our products and services, which could adversely affect us.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If we are unable to increase adoption of our products by customers and attract new customers, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

Historically, we have relied on the adoption of our products by large and mid-sized businesses, and we currently generate only a small portion of our revenue (2.3% and 1.9% of our revenue for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively) from our “self-service” model directed to small businesses or indirect sales channel (i.e., partners that integrate some of our platform capabilities in their software to improve the quality of their products). Our ability to increase our customer base and achieve broader market acceptance of our products will depend, in part, on our ability to effectively organize, focus and train our sales and marketing personnel. We have limited experience selling through a “self-service” model or through indirect channels, as we have only recently deployed these channels.

The decision by our customers to adopt our products may require the approval of multiple technical and business decision makers, including legal, security, compliance, procurement, operations and IT. In addition, sales cycles for businesses (particularly for large businesses) are inherently more complex and these complex and resource intensive sales efforts could place additional strain on our product and engineering resources. Furthermore, businesses, including some of our current customers, may choose to develop their own solutions that do not include our products. They may also demand price reductions as their usage of our products increases, which could have an adverse impact on our gross margin.

In addition, in order to grow our business, we must continue to attract new customers in a cost-effective manner. We use a variety of marketing channels to promote our products and platform, such as events and webinars, as well as search engine marketing and optimization initiatives. We periodically adjust the mix of our other marketing programs such as regional customer events, email campaigns and public relations initiatives. If the costs of the marketing channels we use increase significantly, we may choose to use alternative and less expensive channels, which may not be as effective as the channels we currently use. As we add to or change the mix of our marketing strategies, we may need to expand into more expensive channels than those we are currently in, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We will incur marketing expenses before we are able to recognize any revenue that the marketing initiatives may generate, and these expenses may not result in increased revenue or brand awareness. If we are unable to attract new customers in a cost-effective manner, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected.

Potential customers may be reluctant to switch to a new vendor, which may adversely affect our growth.

As we expand our offerings into new products (such as IP-based products), our potential customers may be concerned about disadvantages associated with switching platform providers, such as a loss of accustomed functionality, increased costs and business disruption. For prospective customers, switching from one vendor of products similar to those provided by us (or from an internally developed system) to a new vendor may be a significant undertaking. As a result, certain potential customers may resist changing vendors. We are aiming to address these concerns by making investments to improve the functionality of our solutions vis-à-vis the products and solutions offered by our competitors. However, there can be no assurance that our investments to overcome potential customers’ reluctance to change vendors will be successful, which may adversely affect our growth.

If we do not develop enhancements to our products and introduce new products that achieve market acceptance, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Our ability to attract new customers and increase revenue from existing customers depends in part on our ability to enhance and improve our existing products, increase adoption and usage of our products and introduce new products. The success of any product enhancements or new products depends on several factors, including timely completion, adequacy to customer needs, adequate quality testing, actual performance quality, market-accepted pricing levels and overall market acceptance. We cannot guarantee that product enhancements and new products will perform as well as or better than our existing offerings. Product enhancements and new products that we develop may not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective manner, may contain errors or defects, may have interoperability difficulties with our platform or other products or may not achieve the broad market acceptance necessary to generate significant revenue. We also have invested, and may continue to invest, in the acquisition of complementary businesses, technologies,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

services, products and other assets that expand the products that we can offer our customers. We may make these investments without being certain that they will result in products or enhancements that will be accepted by existing or prospective customers. Our ability to generate additional usage of products by our customers may also require increasingly sophisticated and more costly sales efforts and result in a longer sales cycle. If we are unable to successfully enhance our existing products to meet evolving customer requirements, increase adoption and usage of our products, develop new products, or if our efforts to increase the usage of our products are more expensive than we expect, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected.

The market in which we participate is intensely competitive, and if we do not compete effectively, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

The market for cloud communications is rapidly evolving, significantly fragmented and highly competitive, with relatively low barriers to entry in some segments. The principal competitive factors in our market includes our ability to offer solutions embedded in the main channels of communications, the ease of integration and programmability of our solutions, product features, cost-benefit, platform scalability, reliability, deliverability, security and performance, brand awareness, reputation, the strength of sales and marketing efforts, customer support and customer service experience, as well as the cost of deploying and using our products. Our competitors fall into four primary categories:

•

communication channels providers such as Infobip, Sinch and Twilio;

•

regional network service providers that offer limited customer functionality together with their own physical infrastructure;

•

smaller software companies that compete with certain of our products; and

•

software-as-a-service, or SaaS, companies and cloud platform vendors that offer applications and platforms, mainly offerings of integrated communication channels.

Some of our competitors and potential competitors are larger than us and have greater name recognition, longer operating histories, more established customer relationships, larger budgets and significantly greater resources than we do. In addition, they have the operating flexibility to bundle competing products and services at little or no perceived incremental cost, including offering them at a lower price as part of a larger sales transaction. As a result, our competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards or customer requirements. In addition, some competitors may offer products or services that address one or a limited number of functions at lower prices, with greater depth than our products or in different geographies. Our current and potential competitors may develop and market new products and services with comparable functionality to our products, and this could lead to us having to decrease prices in order to remain competitive. Customers utilize our products in many ways and use varying levels of functionality that our products offer or are capable of supporting or enabling within their applications. Customers that use many of the features of our products or use our products to support or enable core functionality for their applications may have difficulty or find it impractical to replace our products with a competitor’s products or services, while customers that use only limited functionality may be able to more easily replace our products with competitive offerings. Our current or prospective customers (as well as some of our sales channel partners) may also choose to replicate some of the functionality our products provide, which may limit or eliminate their demand for our products.

With the introduction of new products and services and new market entrants, we expect competition to intensify in the future. In addition, some of our customers may choose to use our products and our competitors’ products simultaneously. Furthermore, our customers and their end-consumers may choose to adopt other forms of electronic communications or alternative communication platforms, which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Moreover, as we expand the scope of our products, we may face additional competition. If one or more of our competitors were to merge or partner with other competitors, the change in the competitive landscape could also adversely affect our ability to compete effectively. In addition, some of our competitors have lower listed prices than us, which may be attractive to certain customers even if those products have different or lesser functionality. If we are unable to maintain our current pricing due to competitive pressures, our

TABLE OF CONTENTS

margins will be reduced and our business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected. In addition, pricing pressures and increased competition generally could result in reduced revenue, reduced margins, increased losses or the failure of our products to achieve or maintain widespread market acceptance, any of which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We have experienced rapid growth and expect our growth to continue, and if we fail to effectively manage our growth, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

We have experienced substantial growth in our business. For example, our headcount has grown from 226 employees as of January 30, 2020 to 470 employees (and 672 employees after giving effect to the expected consummation of the D1 Acquisition) as of December 31, 2020, approximately 207% during the period (297%, giving effect to the expected consummation of the D1 Acquisition). In addition, we are rapidly expanding our operations outside of Brazil, and have offices in Argentina, the United States and Mexico and are in the process of reaching/acquiring customers in Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Uruguay, Guatemala and fifteen other countries. Our international headcount increased from zero employees as of January 1, 2020 to 83 employees as of December 31, 2020. We expect to continue to expand our international operations in the future, in particular in other Latin American countries. We have also experienced significant growth in the number of customers, usage and amount of data that our platform and associated infrastructure support. For example, our WhatsApp message volume has grown from approximately 1.4 million in December 2019 to more than 67 million in December 2020. This growth has placed and may continue to place significant demands on our corporate culture, operational infrastructure and management.

We believe that our corporate culture has been a critical component of our success. We have invested substantial time and resources in building our team and nurturing our culture. As we expand our business outside Brazil, namely Argentina, Mexico and other Latin American countries, and mature as a public company, we may find it difficult to maintain our corporate culture while managing this growth. Any failure to manage our anticipated growth and organizational changes in a manner that preserves the key aspects of our culture could harm our future prospects, including our ability to recruit and retain personnel, and effectively focus on and pursue our corporate objectives. This, in turn, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, as we have rapidly grown, our organizational structure has become more complex. In order to manage these increasing complexities, we will need to continue to expand and adapt our operational, financial and management controls, as well as our reporting systems and procedures. The expansion of our systems and infrastructure will require us to commit substantial financial, operational and management resources before our revenue increases and we cannot assure that our revenue will increase.

Furthermore, if we continue to grow, our ability to maintain reliable service levels for our customers could be affected. If we fail to achieve the necessary level of efficiency as we grow, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Finally, as we continue to grow, we expect to continue to spend substantial financial and other resources on, among other things:

•

investments in our engineering team, improvements in security and data protection, the development of new products, features and functionality and enhancements to our platform;

•

sales and marketing, including the continued expansion of our direct sales and marketing programs, especially for businesses outside of Brazil;

•

expansion of our operations and infrastructure, both domestically and internationally; and

•

general administration, including legal, accounting and other expenses related to being a public company.

These investments may not result in increased revenue or the growth of our business. Accordingly, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to offset our expected cost increases and achieve and sustain profitability. If we fail to achieve and sustain profitability, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our quarterly results may fluctuate, and if we fail to meet securities analysts’ and investors’ expectations, then the trading price of our Class A common shares and the value of your investment could decline substantially.

Our results of operations, including the levels of our revenue, cost of services, gross profit and other operating (expenses) income may vary significantly in the future. These fluctuations may result from a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control, including general market volatility caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and may be difficult to predict and may or may not fully reflect the underlying performance of our business. If our quarterly results of operations or forward-looking quarterly and annual financial guidance fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, then the trading price of our Class A common shares could decline substantially. Some of the important factors that may cause our results of operations to fluctuate from quarter to quarter include:

•

our ability to retain and increase revenue from existing customers and attract new customers;

•

fluctuations in the amount of revenue from our customers;

•

our ability to attract and retain businesses as customers;

•

our ability to introduce new products and enhance existing products;

•

competition and the actions of our competitors, including pricing changes and the introduction of new products, services and geographies;

•

changes in laws, industry standards, regulations or regulatory enforcement, in Brazil or internationally, including Signature-based Handling of Asserted Information Using toKENs/Secure Telephone Identity Revisited (SHAKEN/STIR), a technology framework intended to combat unwanted robocalls and fraudulent caller ID spoofing, and other robocalling prevention and anti-spam standards as well as enhanced Know-Your-Client processes that impact our ability to market, sell or deliver our products;

•

the number of new employees;

•

changes in network service provider fees that we pay in connection with the delivery of communications on our platform;

•

changes in cloud infrastructure fees that we pay in connection with the operation of our platform;

•

changes in our pricing as a result of our optimization efforts or otherwise;

•

reductions in pricing as a result of negotiations with our larger customers;

•

the rate of expansion and productivity of our sales force;

•

changes in the size and complexity of our customer relationships;

•

the length and complexity of the sales cycle for our services, especially for sales to larger businesses, as well as government and regulated businesses;

•

change in the mix of products that our customers use;

•

change in the revenue mix of Brazil and international products;

•

the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures related to the operations and expansion of our business, including investments in our international expansion, additional systems and processes and research and development of new products and services;

•

significant security breaches of, technical difficulties with, or interruptions to, the delivery and use of our products on our platform;

•

the timing of customer payments and any difficulty in collecting accounts receivable from customers;

•

general economic conditions that may adversely affect a prospective customer’s ability or willingness to adopt our products, delay a prospective customer’s adoption decision, reduce the revenue that we generate from the use of our products or affect customer retention;

•

changes in foreign currency exchange rates and our ability to effectively hedge our foreign currency exposure;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

sales tax and other tax determinations by authorities in the jurisdictions in which we conduct business;

•

the impact of new accounting pronouncements; and

•

expenses in connection with mergers, acquisitions or other strategic transactions and the follow-on costs of integration.

The occurrence of one or more of the foregoing and other factors may cause our results of operations to vary significantly. As such, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations may not be meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. In addition, a significant percentage of our operating expenses is fixed in nature and is based on forecasted revenue trends. Accordingly, in the event of a revenue shortfall, we may not be able to mitigate the negative impact on our income (loss) and margins in the short term. If we fail to meet or exceed the expectations of investors or securities analysts, then the trading price of our Class A common shares could fall substantially, and we could face costly lawsuits, including securities class action suits.

Additionally, global pandemics such as COVID-19 as well as certain large scale events, such as major elections and sporting events, can significantly impact usage levels on our platform, which could cause fluctuations in our results of operations. We expect that significantly increased usage of all communications platforms, including ours, during certain seasonal and one-time events could impact delivery and quality of our products during those events. Such annual and one-time events may cause fluctuations in our results of operations and may impact both our revenue and operating expenses.

If we are unable to develop and maintain successful relationships with sales channel partners, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

We believe that continued growth of our business depends in part upon identifying, developing and maintaining strategic relationships with sales channel partners that will apply service layers over our products (including consultancy, implementation, integration development, flows development, solutions developed using our platform, among others). Sales channel partners embed our software products in their solutions, such as software applications for contact centers and sales force and marketing automation, and then sell such solutions to other businesses. When potential customers do not have the resources to develop their own applications, we refer them to our partners, who embed our products in the solutions that they sell to other businesses. As part of our growth strategy, we intend to further develop business relationships and specific solutions with sales channel partners. If we fail to establish these relationships in a timely and cost-effective manner, or at all, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. Additionally, even if we are successful at developing these relationships but there are integration problems or issues or businesses are not willing to purchase our products through sales channel partners, our reputation and ability to grow our business may be adversely affected.

We rely upon cloud infrastructure and physical data center providers to operate our platform, and any disruption of or interference with our use of these cloud infrastructure or physical data center providers could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We outsource our cloud infrastructure to various cloud infrastructure providers, which host our products and platform. We also rely on certain third-party providers to provide us with physical data centers to host certain of our products. Our customers need to be able to access our platform and products at any time, without interruption or degradation of performance. These service providers operate the platforms that we access and we are therefore vulnerable to service interruptions in those platforms. We have experienced, and expect that in the future we may experience interruptions, delays and outages in service and availability due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, networking issues due to internet backbone provider outage, human or software errors, website hosting disruptions and capacity constraints. Capacity constraints could be due to a number of potential causes, including technical failures, natural disasters, pandemics such as COVID-19, fraud or security attacks. In addition, if our security, or that of such services providers, is compromised, or our products or platform are unavailable or our users are unable to use our products within a reasonable amount of time or at all, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. In some instances, we may not be able to identify the cause or causes

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of these performance problems within a period of time acceptable to our customers. It may also become increasingly difficult to maintain and improve our platform performance, especially during peak usage times, as our products become more complex and the usage of our products increases. To the extent that we do not effectively address capacity constraints, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected. In addition, we access the platform of our cloud infrastructure providers through standard IP connectivity. Any problem with this access can prevent us from responding in a timely manner to any issues with the availability of our products. More generally, any changes in service levels from the cloud infrastructure providers may adversely affect our ability to meet our customers’ requirements.

Any of the above circumstances or events may harm our reputation, erode customer trust, cause customers to stop using our products, impair our ability to increase revenue from existing customers, impair our ability to grow our customer base, subject us to financial penalties and liabilities under our service level agreements and otherwise harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

To deliver our products, we rely on network service providers and internet service providers for our network service and connectivity and disruption or deterioration in the quality of these services could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Also, our platform must integrate with network technologies and we expect to continue to have to integrate our platform with other software platforms and technologies. In addition. if our products and platform are unable to interconnect with any of our network service providers, software platforms and technologies, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

We currently interconnect with network service providers to enable the use by our customers of our products over their networks. Furthermore, many of these network service providers do not have long-term commitments with us and either they or we may interrupt services or terminate the agreement, without cause upon 30 days’ prior written notice. If a significant portion of our network service providers stop providing us with access to their infrastructure, fail to provide these services to us on a cost-effective basis, cease operations, or otherwise terminate these services, the delay caused by qualifying and switching to other network service providers could be time consuming and costly and could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Further, if problems occur with our network service providers, it may cause errors or poor quality communications with our products, and we could encounter difficulty identifying the source of the problem. The occurrence of errors or poor quality communications in connection with our products, whether caused by our platform or a network service provider, may result in the loss of our existing customers or the delay of adoption of our products by potential customers and may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Also, our platform must integrated with network technologies and we expect to continue to have to integrate our platform with other existing software platforms and technologies (such as Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, other Apple and Google systems, among others) and others to be developed in the future, and we need to continuously modify and enhance our products and platform to adapt to changes and innovation in technologies. For example, our network service providers may adopt new filtering technologies in an effort to combat spam, filter spam and unwanted phone calls, messages or robocalling. Such technologies may inadvertently filter desired messages or calls to or from our customers. If network service providers and/or other software platforms that we integrate (or expect to integrate) with our platform, our customers or their end users adopt new software platforms or infrastructure, we may be required to develop new versions of our products to work with those new platforms or infrastructure. This development effort may require significant resources, which would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Also, there can be no assurance that any such platforms and technologies (such as Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp) will continue to provide us with access to their infrastructure. Any failure of our products and platform to operate effectively with evolving or new platforms and technologies could reduce the demand for our products. If we are unable to respond to these changes in a cost-effective manner, our products may become less marketable and less competitive or obsolete, and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

If we cannot pass fee increases from network service providers or developers of IP-based messaging services to our customers, our operating margins may decline.

Network service providers have in the past, and may in the future, unilaterally charge additional fees or change prices due to commercial, regulatory, competitive or other industry related changes that increase our

TABLE OF CONTENTS

network costs. While we have historically responded to these types of fee increases through a combination of further negotiating efforts with our network service providers, absorbing the increased costs or changing our prices to customers, there is no guarantee that we will continue to be able to do so in the future without a material negative impact to our business. For instance, one of our network service providers with a significant market share in SMS messages volume recently notified us of an approximately 28% increase in their 2021 fees as a result of the significant increase in the IGP inflation indexes for 2021. As of the date of this prospectus, we are seeking before the Brazilian National Telecommunication Agency (Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações), or ANATEL, the establishment of standardized prices for SMS messages and challenging the adequacy of the use of broader inflation indexes in agreements with network service providers that are not telecommunication sector indexes but ANATEL may reject our request and challenge. Also, the developers of IP-based messaging services that we use in our platform (such as WhatsApp) may in the future unilaterally charge additional fees or change their prices due to commercial, regulatory, competitive or other industry related changes that may adversely affect our costs. See also “— Failure to set optimal prices for our products could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.”

Under our existing contracts with customers, we are generally permitted to pass these fee increases to our customers through corresponding increases in our fees. However, if we are unable to pass on these and other fees in the future due to contractual or regulatory restrictions, competitive pressures or other considerations, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Additionally, our ability to respond to any new fees may be constrained if all network service providers in a particular market impose equivalent fee structures, if the magnitude of the fees is disproportionately large when compared to the underlying prices paid by our customers, or if the market conditions limit our ability to increase the price we charge our customers. In addition, since we do not have long term contractual arrangements with our customers and they may terminate their agreements with us provided they give us thirty days’ prior written notice, any increase of our fees (disproportionate or not) may lead them to terminate their contractual arrangements with us.

For more information regarding our commercial relationship with network service providers, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation — Material Contracts.”

Our reliance on SaaS technologies from third parties may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We rely on hosted SaaS technologies from third parties in order to operate critical internal functions of our business, including enterprise resource planning, customer support and customer relations management services. If these services become unavailable due to extended outages or interruptions, or because they are no longer available on commercially reasonable terms or prices, our expenses could increase. As a result, our ability to manage our operations could be interrupted and our processes for managing our sales process and supporting our customers could be impaired until equivalent services, if available, are identified, obtained and implemented, all of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our use of open source software could negatively affect our ability to sell our products and subject us to possible litigation.

Our products and platform incorporate open source software, and we expect to continue to incorporate open source software in our products and platform in the future. Few of the licenses applicable to open source software have been interpreted by courts, and there is a risk that these licenses could be construed in a manner that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on our ability to commercialize our products and platform. Moreover, although we have implemented policies to regulate the use and incorporation of open source software into our products and platform, we cannot be certain that we have not incorporated open source software in our products or platform in a manner that is inconsistent with such policies. If we fail to comply with open source licenses, we may be subject to certain requirements, including requirements that we offer our products that incorporate the open source software for no cost, that we discontinue our products that incorporate the open source software, that we make available source code for modifications or derivative works we create based upon, incorporating or using the open source software and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

that we license such modifications or derivative works under the terms of applicable open source licenses. If an author or other third party that distributes such open source software were to allege that we had not complied with the conditions of one or more of these licenses, we could be required to incur significant legal expenses defending against such allegations and could be subject to significant damages, enjoined from generating revenue from customers using products that contained the open source software and required to comply with onerous conditions or restrictions on these products. In any of these events, we and our customers could be required to seek licenses from third parties in order to continue offering our products and platform and to re-engineer our products or platform or discontinue offering our products to customers in the event we cannot re-engineer them on a timely basis. Any of the foregoing could require us to devote additional research and development resources to re-engineer our products or platform, could result in customer dissatisfaction and may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may face challenges in the expansion of our operations and our offerings into new market segments and/or new geographic regions within and outside of Brazil.

In July, 2020, we concluded the acquisition of Sirena, a company that develops solutions that enable corporations to manage sale processes through WhatsApp accounts. Sirena currently operates outside of Brazil, and has offices in Argentina, the United States and Mexico and is in the process of reaching/acquiring customers in Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Uruguay, Guatemala and fifteen other countries. Our acquisition of Sirena represents the first step in our strategy to expand our business outside of Brazil. We expect to continue to expand our international operations and to increase our revenue from customers inside and outside of Brazil as part of our growth strategy. For instance, in March 2021, we entered into agreements for the acquisition of D1, which we expect to be consummated after the completion of this offering. See “—We may pursue strategic acquisitions or investments which may divert our management’s attention and result in reduced cash levels, increased indebtedness or dilution to our shareholders. The failure of an acquisition or investment to produce the anticipated results, the failure to consummate a pending acquisition (including the D1 Acquisition), or the inability to integrate an acquired company fully, could adversely affect our business.”

We may face challenges in connection with the expansion of our operations and our product and service offerings into new market segments, and/or new geographic regions within or outside of Brazil.

As we expand into new market segments or geographies, we will face challenges associated with entering markets in which we have limited or no experience and in which we may not be well-known. Offering our services in new industries or new geographic regions may require substantial expenditures and takes considerable time, and we may not recover our investments in new markets in a timely manner or at all. For example, we may be unable to attract a sufficient number of customers, fail to anticipate competitive conditions or fail to adapt and tailor our services to different markets. In addition, although the industries into which we are considering expanding our offerings are subject to risks similar to those of our current business, profitability, if any, in our newer activities may be lower than in our more mature segments, and we may not be successful enough to recover our investments in them.

Expansion and development of business in new geographic regions within Brazil and in other jurisdictions may expose us to risks relating to staffing and managing cross border operations, lack of acceptance of our products and services, and particularly with respect to our operations outside of Brazil, increased costs and difficulty protecting intellectual property and sensitive data, tariffs and other trade barriers, differing and potentially adverse tax consequences, increased and conflicting regulatory compliance requirements, including with respect to privacy and security, lack of acceptance of our products and services, challenges caused by distance, language, and cultural differences, exchange rate risk and political instability. Accordingly, our efforts to develop and expand the geographic footprint of our operations may not be successful, which could limit our ability to grow our business.

From January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020, our international headcount increased from zero employees to 83 employees. We expect to hire additional employees to work in our international operations in order to reach new customers and gain access to additional technical talent. Operating in international markets requires significant resources and management attention and will subject us to regulatory, economic and political risks in addition to those we already face in Brazil. Because of our limited experience with

TABLE OF CONTENTS

international operations or with developing and managing sales in international markets, our international expansion efforts may not be successful.

In addition, we will face risks in doing business internationally that could adversely affect our business, including:

•

exposure to political developments in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and other Latin American countries into which we plan to expand that may create an uncertain political and economic environment and instability for businesses, which could disrupt the sale of our services and the mobility of our employees and contractors between and within these jurisdictions.

•

the difficulty of managing and staffing international operations and the increased operations, travel, infrastructure and legal compliance costs associated with servicing international customers and operating numerous international locations;

•

our ability to effectively price our products in competitive international markets;

•

new and different sources of competition or other changes to our current competitive landscape;

•

understanding and reconciling different technical standards, data privacy and telecommunications regulations, registration and certification requirements outside of Brazil, which could prevent customers from deploying our products or limit their usage;

•

our ability to comply with regulations and industry standards relating to data privacy and security enacted in countries and other regions in which we operate or do business;

•

potentially greater difficulty collecting accounts receivable and longer payment cycles;

•

higher or more variable network service provider fees outside of Brazil;

•

the need to adapt and localize our products for specific countries;

•

the need to offer customer support in various languages;

•

difficulties in understanding and complying with local laws, regulations and customs in non-Brazilian jurisdictions;

•

compliance with various anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act;

•

changes in international trade policies, tariffs and other non-tariff barriers, such as quotas and local content rules;

•

more limited protection for intellectual property rights in some countries;

•

adverse tax consequences;

•

fluctuations in currency exchange rates, which could increase the price of our products outside of Brazil, increase the expenses of our international operations and expose us to foreign currency exchange rate risk;

•

currency control regulations, which might restrict or prohibit our conversion of other currencies into Brazilian reais;

•

restrictions on the transfer of funds;

•

deterioration of political relations between Brazil and other countries;

•

the impact of natural disasters and public health epidemics such as COVID-19 on employees, contingent workers, sales channel partners, travel and the global economy and the ability to operate freely and effectively in a region that may be fully or partially on lockdown; and

•

political or social unrest or economic instability in a specific country or region in which we operate, which could have an adverse impact on our operations in that location.

Our failure to manage any of these risks successfully could harm our international operations, and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We may pursue strategic acquisitions or investments which may divert our management’s attention and result in reduced cash levels, increased indebtedness or dilution to our shareholders. The failure of an acquisition or investment to produce the anticipated results, the failure to consummate a pending acquisition (including the D1 Acquisition), or the inability to integrate an acquired company fully, could adversely affect our business.

We may from time to time acquire or invest in complementary companies, businesses, technologies, services, products and other assets in the future. For instance, in July 2020 we completed the acquisition of Sirena and in March 2021, we entered into agreements for the acquisition of D1, which we expect to be consummated after the completion of this offering. We also may from time to time enter into relationships with other businesses to expand our products and platform, which could involve preferred or exclusive licenses, additional channels of distribution, discount pricing or investments in other companies.

The success of an acquisition or investment will depend on our ability to make accurate assumptions regarding the valuation, operations, growth potential, integration and other factors related to that business. We cannot assure you that the acquisitions we recently consummated or that are currently pending (such as the D1 Acquisition) or our prospective acquisitions or investments will produce the results that we expect at the time we enter into or complete a given transaction. Furthermore, acquisitions may result in difficulties integrating the acquired companies, and may result in the diversion of our capital and our management’s attention from other business issues and opportunities. We may not be able to integrate successfully the operations of the acquired companies, including their technologies, products personnel, financial systems, distribution or operating procedures, particularly if the key personnel of the acquired company choose not to work for us, their products or services are not easily adapted to work with our platform, or we have difficulty retaining the customers of any acquired business due to changes in ownership, management or otherwise. If we fail to integrate acquisitions successfully, our business could suffer. In addition, the expense of integrating any acquired business and their results of operations may adversely affect our operating results. Further, there can be no assurance that we had or will have full access to all necessary information to assess any assets acquired or will acquire and identify and mitigate the risks, liabilities and contingencies in connection with the due diligence performed. We may discover liabilities or deficiencies associated with the assets or companies we acquire or ineffective or inadequate controls, procedures or policies at an acquired business that were not identified in advance, any of which could result in significant unanticipated costs and adversely impact our business. Also, in the context of our acquisitions, we may face contingent liabilities in connection with, among others things, (i) judicial and/or administrative proceedings of the business we acquire, including civil, regulatory, tax, labor, social security, environmental and intellectual property proceedings, and (ii) financial, reputational and technical issues, including with respect to accounting practices, financial statement disclosures and internal controls, as well as other regulatory matters, all of which may not be sufficiently indemnifiable under the relevant acquisition agreement and may impact our financial reporting obligations and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, resulting in delays to such preparation.

The D1 Acquisition is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions set forth in the definitive agreements governing this transaction, which includes the consummation of this offering. There can be no assurance that all conditions precedent for the consummation of the D1 Acquisition will be met or waived, in which case, our prospects may be adversely affected. For instance, D1 is required pursuant to certain financing agreements entered into by it (which principal amounted to US$4.0 million (R$20.7 million) as of December 31, 2020), to obtain waivers in the event of its change of control (which will occur upon consummation of the D1 Acquisition) or to prepay any financing where a waiver is not obtained. In the event any such waiver is not obtained or D1 does not properly prepay the correspondent financing agreement, we can withdraw from the D1 Acquisition. Additionally, prior to the consummation of the D1 Acquisition, D1 is required as a condition precedent to pay to Smarkio’s shareholders the total consideration not paid to date in connection with Smarkio’s acquisition. In the event any such payment is not made, we can withdraw from the D1 Acquisition.

Certain acquisitions, partnerships and joint ventures we may enter into in the future may prevent us from competing for certain clients or in certain lines of business, and may lead to a loss of clients. We may spend time and money on projects that do not increase our revenue. To the extent we pay the consideration of any acquisition in cash, it would reduce our cash reserves, and to the extent the consideration is paid with any of our shares, it could be dilutive to our shareholders. To the extent we pay the consideration with

TABLE OF CONTENTS

proceeds from the incurrence of debt, it would increase our level of indebtedness and could negatively affect our liquidity and restrict our operations. Our competitors may be willing or able to pay more than us for acquisitions, which may cause us to lose certain acquisitions that we would otherwise desire to complete. We cannot ensure that any acquisition, partnership or joint venture we make will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

For further information about our recent acquisitions, see “Business and Industry — Recent Acquisitions.”

Future legislative, regulatory or judicial actions impacting our CX communications platform could also increase the cost and complexity of compliance and expose us to liability.

In the countries where we operate there is currently no specific regulation for CX communications platform companies like us. However, although we understand that existing regulations do not fully contemplate the CX communications platform business model and our business do not fit into the current communications regulatory framework of the countries in which we operate, this matter is continuing to evolve internationally. As a result, interpretation and enforcement of regulations often involve significant uncertainties and sudden changes. Regulators could claim in the future that our products or services are subject to licensing and communications regulatory requirements and as a result, regulatory scrutiny and enforcement may apply to our business. Future legislative, regulatory or judicial actions impacting CX communications platform services could also increase the cost and complexity of compliance and expose us to liability. There can be no assurance that legislation or regulation will not be enacted for purposes of regulating CX communications platform businesses and that any such legislation or regulation will not adversely impact our business. In addition, as we expand our business into our other jurisdictions or as we expand our portfolio of product offerings to our customers, we may become subject to regulatory oversight. Our products and platform and our business are subject to privacy, data protection and information security, and our customers may be subject to regulations related to the handling and transfer of certain types of sensitive and confidential information. Any failure of our products to comply with or enable our customers to comply with applicable laws and regulations would harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We and our customers that use our products may be subject to privacy and data protection-related laws and regulations that impose obligations in connection with the collection, processing and use of personal data, financial data, health or other similar data.

The nature of our business exposes us to risks related to possible shortcomings in data protection. Any perceived or actual unauthorized disclosure of personally identifiable information, whether through breach of our network by an unauthorized party, employee theft, misuse or error or otherwise, including the data protection of our customers, the end-consumers of our customers and employees or third parties, could harm our reputation, impair our ability to attract and retain our customers, or subject us to claims or litigation arising from damages suffered by individuals.

Law No. 13,709/2018 (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais), or LGPD, was enacted on September 18, 2020 to regulate the processing of personal data in Brazil. Further, Law No. 14,010/2020 was approved in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and among other measures postponed the application of the administrative sanctions set out in the LGPD to August 1, 2021.

The LGPD establishes a new legislation to be observed by individuals or public or private companies in operations involving processing of personal data in Brazil and provides for, among others, the rights of holders of personal data, the legal bases applicable to the processing of personal data, the requisites to obtain consent, the obligations and requisites related to security incidents and breaches and transfers of data, either Brazilian or international, as well as the creation of the National Authority for Data Protection, or ANPD, responsible for the inspection, promotion, disclosure, regulation, establishment of guidelines and application of the law. In case of noncompliance with the LGDP, we can be subject to administrative sanctions applicable, on isolated or cumulative basis, of warning, obligation to disclose incidents; temporary blocking and/or elimination of personal data related to the infraction; simple fine of up to 2% of our revenue, or revenue of the group or conglomerate in Brazil for the last fiscal year, excluding taxes, up to the global amount of R$50 million per infraction; daily fine, up to the aforesaid global limit; suspension of the operation of

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the database related to the infraction for the maximum period of six months, which can be extended for an equal period, up to the regularization of the processing by the controlling shareholder; suspension of activities related to processing of personal data related to the infraction for a period of six months, which can be extended for an equal period; and partial or total prohibition to exercise activities related to data processing.

In addition to the administrative sanctions, due to the noncompliance with the obligations established by the LGPD, we can be held liable for individual or collective material damages, and non-material damages caused to holders of personal data, including when caused by third parties that serve as operators of personal data on our behalf.

In addition to the civil liability, the fact that the administrative sanctions of the LGPD will be applicable by the ANPD only in August 2021 does not prevent the imposition of administrative sanctions set forth by other laws that address issues related to data privacy and protection, such as Law No. 8,078/1990, or the Brazilian Code of Consumer Defense, and Law No. 12,965/2014, or the Brazilian Civil Rights Framework for the Internet. These administrative sanctions can be applied by other public authorities, such as the Attorney General’s Office and consumer protection agencies. We can also be held liable civilly for violation of these laws.

Similarly, many foreign countries and governmental bodies, including in the countries in which we currently operate, have laws and regulations concerning the collection and use of personal data obtained from individuals located in their jurisdiction or by businesses operating within their jurisdiction. Laws and regulations in these jurisdictions apply broadly to the collection, use, storage, disclosure and security of personal data that identifies or may be used to identify an individual, such as names, telephone numbers, email addresses and, in some jurisdictions, IP addresses and other online identifiers.

In addition, we continue to see jurisdictions imposing data localization laws, which require personal information, or certain subcategories of personal information to be stored in the jurisdiction of origin. These regulations may inhibit our ability to expand into those markets or prohibit us from continuing to offer services in those markets without significant additional costs.

As we expand into new industries and regions, we will likely need to comply with new requirements to compete effectively. The uncertainty and changes in the requirements of multiple jurisdictions may increase the cost of compliance, delay or reduce demand for our services, restrict our ability to offer services in certain locations, impact our customers’ ability to deploy our solutions in certain jurisdictions, or subject us to sanctions, by national data protection regulators, all of which could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, although we endeavor to have our products and platform comply with applicable laws and regulations, these and other obligations may be modified, they may be interpreted and applied in an inconsistent manner from one jurisdiction to another, and they may conflict with one another, other regulatory requirements, contractual commitments or our internal practices.

We also may be bound by contractual obligations relating to our collection, use and disclosure of personal, financial and other data or may find it necessary or desirable to join industry or other self-regulatory bodies or other privacy or data protection-related businesses that require compliance with their rules pertaining to privacy and data protection.

We expect that there will continue to be new proposed laws, rules of self-regulatory bodies, regulations and industry standards concerning privacy, data protection and information security in Brazil and other jurisdictions, and we cannot yet determine the impact such future laws, rules, regulations and standards may have on our business. For instance, the State of São Paulo recently enacted a law determining that a consumer may restrict the receipt of telemarketing, SMS or Whatsapp messages in their mobiles by registering their phone numbers in a specific registry. There can be no assurance that the public in general will not adopt this tool to restrict the receipt of unsolicited telemarketing, SMSs and WhatsApp messages. A broad use of this tool by the public (particularly if its adoption is extended to other Brazilian states or foreign jurisdictions where we operate) may materially adversely affect our business as it may prevent our customers to effectively use our platform to promote their businesses. Moreover, existing Brazilian and foreign privacy and data protection-related laws and regulations are evolving and subject to potentially differing interpretations, and various legislative and regulatory bodies may expand current or enact new laws and regulations regarding privacy and data protection-related matters. Because global laws, regulations and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

industry standards concerning privacy and data security have continued to develop and evolve rapidly, it is possible that we or our products or platform may not be, or may not have been, compliant with each such applicable law, regulation and industry standard and compliance with such new laws or to changes to existing laws may impact our business and practices, require us to expend significant resources to adapt to these changes, or to stop offering our products in certain countries. These developments could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Any failure or perceived failure by us, our products or our platform to comply with new or existing Brazilian or other foreign privacy or data security laws, regulations, policies, industry standards or legal obligations, or any security incident that results in the unauthorized access to, or acquisition, release or transfer of, personal data or other customer data may result in governmental investigations, inquiries, enforcement actions and prosecutions, private litigation, fines and penalties, adverse publicity or potential loss of business.

We may be materially adversely affected in the event that we are in violation of anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws and regulations in the jurisdiction in which we operate.

We operate in a jurisdiction that has a high risk of corruption and we are subject to anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws and regulations, including Brazilian Federal Law No. 12,846/2013, or the Brazilian Anticorruption Law, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or the FCPA, and the U.K. Bribery Act of 2010, or the Bribery Act, as well as other similar anti-bribery and anti-kickback laws and regulations in the jurisdictions where we operate. Brazilian Anticorruption Law, the FCPA and the Bribery Act generally prohibit companies and their employees and intermediaries from authorizing, offering or providing improper payments and benefits to government officials and other persons for improper purposes. We are in the process of implementing an anti-corruption compliance program that is designed to manage the risks of doing business in light of these new and existing legal and regulatory requirements. Violations of the anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws and regulations could result in criminal liability, administrative and civil proceedings, significant fines and penalties, forfeiture of significant assets, as well as reputational harm.

Regulators may increase and/or initiate enforcement of these obligations, which may require us to make adjustments to our anti-corruption compliance program, including the procedures we use to verify the identity of cardholders and to monitor our transactions. Regulators may also reexamine the transaction volume thresholds at which we must obtain and keep applicable records or verify identities of cardholders and any change in such thresholds could result in greater costs for compliance. Costs associated with fines or enforcement actions, changes in compliance requirements, or limitations on our ability to grow could adversely affect our business, and any new requirements or changes to existing requirements could impose significant costs, result in delays to planned product improvements, make it more difficult for new merchants to join our network and reduce the attractiveness of our products and services.

Changes in laws and regulations related to the Internet or changes in the Internet infrastructure itself may diminish the demand for our products, and could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The future success of our business depends (particularly for IP-based messaging services) upon the continued use of the Internet as a primary medium for commerce, communications and business applications. Federal, state or foreign government bodies or agencies have in the past adopted, and may in the future adopt, laws or regulations affecting the use of the Internet as a commercial medium. Changes in these laws or regulations could require us to modify our products and platform in order to comply with these changes. In addition, government agencies or private businesses have imposed and may impose additional taxes, fees or other charges for accessing the Internet or commerce conducted via the Internet. These laws or charges could limit the growth of Internet-related commerce or communications generally or result in reductions in the demand for Internet-based products and services such as our products and platform. In addition, the use of the Internet as a business tool could be adversely affected due to delays in the development or adoption of new standards and protocols to handle increased demands of Internet activity, security, reliability, cost, ease-of-use, accessibility and quality of service. The performance of the Internet and its acceptance as a business tool has been adversely affected by “viruses,” “worms,” and similar malicious programs. If the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

use of the Internet is reduced as a result of these or other issues, then demand for our products could decline, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Changes in tax laws, tax incentives, benefits or differing interpretations of tax laws may adversely affect our results of operations.

Changes in tax laws, regulations, related interpretations and tax accounting standards in Brazil may result in a higher tax rate on our earnings, which may significantly reduce our profits and cash flows from operations. In case of an increase in taxes applicable to our business and we cannot alter our cost structure to pass our tax increases on to customers, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected. Our activities are also subject to a municipal tax on services (Imposto Sobre Serviços), or ISS. Any increases in ISS rates would also adversely affect our profitability.

In addition, Brazilian government authorities at the federal, state and local levels are considering changes in tax laws in order to cover budgetary shortfalls resulting from the recent economic downturn in Brazil. If these proposals are enacted they may adversely affect our profitability by increasing our tax burden, increasing our tax compliance costs, or otherwise affecting our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Tax rules in Brazil, particularly at the local level, may change without notice (although certain principles contained in the Brazilian federal constitution and certain procedures contained in applicable law must be observed). We may not always be aware of all such changes that affect our business and we may therefore fail to pay the applicable taxes or otherwise comply with tax regulations, which may result in additional tax assessments and penalties for our company.

Furthermore, we are subject to tax laws and regulations that may be interpreted differently by tax authorities than by us, for a variety of reasons. The application of direct (such as income tax and social contribution) and indirect taxes, such as sales and use tax, value-added tax, or VAT, provincial taxes, goods and services tax, business tax and gross receipt tax, to businesses like ours is a complex and evolving issue. Significant judgment is required to evaluate applicable tax obligations. In many cases, the ultimate tax determination is uncertain because it is not clear how existing statutes apply to our business. One or more states, or municipalities, the federal government or other countries may seek to challenge the taxation or procedures applied to our transactions imposing the charge of taxes or additional reporting, record-keeping or indirect tax collection obligations on businesses like ours. New taxes could also require us to incur substantial costs to capture data and collect and remit taxes. If such obligations were imposed, the additional costs associated with tax collection, remittance and audit requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

In addition, we benefit from certain tax incentives related to research and development and technological innovation, established by Law No. 11,196, dated November 21, 2005, as amended, or Lei do Bem, and regulated by Decree No. 5,798, dated June 7, 2006. Our ability to benefit from these incentives depends on our compliance with certain obligations. Failure on our part to comply with certain obligations in accordance with the applicable rules or to provide the documentation required to substantiate such tax credits could result in the loss of such incentives that have not yet been used and claims by the Brazilian tax authorities of the amount corresponding to taxes not paid as a result of the incentives already used, in addition to penalties and interest under Brazilian tax laws. If any of our tax benefits expires, terminates or is cancelled, we may not be successful in obtaining new tax benefits that are equally favorable, which may materially adversely affect us. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates — Income tax and social contribution.”

Furthermore, as we expand our business into new jurisdictions, there can be no assurance that any such jurisdiction will have tax treaties with the other countries where we operate and that we will not be subject to “double taxation” issues or other tax-related concerns.

If we are unable to obtain or retain geographical, regional, local or toll-free numbers, or to effectively process requests, such numbers in a timely manner due to industry regulations, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Our future success depends in part on our ability to obtain allocations of geographical, regional, local and toll-free direct inward dialing numbers, or DIDs, at a reasonable cost and without overly burdensome

TABLE OF CONTENTS

restrictions because DIDs are necessary to access the public telecommunications network (even through VoIP technology) and the business model developed by us and our subsidiary, Total Voice Comunicações S.A., or Total Voice, requires the management of DIDs on behalf of our clients in order to timely and effectively complete and receive calls at reasonable costs. Our ability to obtain allocations of, assign and retain DIDs depends on factors outside of our control, such as applicable regulations, the practices of authorities that administer national numbering plans or of network service providers from whom we can provision DIDs, such as offering DIDs with conditional minimum volume call level requirements, the cost of these DIDs and the level of overall competitive demand for new DIDs.

In addition, in order to obtain allocations of, assign and retain telephone numbers in other regions, we may be required to be licensed by local telecommunications regulatory authorities, some of which have been increasingly monitoring and regulating the categories of phone numbers that are eligible for provisioning to our customers. We have obtained licenses, and are in the process of obtaining licenses in various countries in which we do business, but in some countries, the regulatory regime around the allocation of phone numbers is unclear, subject to change over time, and sometimes may conflict from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Furthermore, these regulations and governments’ approach to their enforcement, as well as our products and services, are still evolving and we may be unable to maintain compliance with applicable regulations, or enforce compliance by our customers, on a timely basis or without significant cost. Also, compliance with these types of regulation may require changes in products or business practices that result in reduced revenue. Due to our or our customers’ assignment and/or use of phone numbers in certain countries in a manner that violates applicable rules and regulations, we have been subjected to government inquiries and audits, and may in the future be subject to significant penalties or further governmental action, and in extreme cases, may be precluded from doing business in that particular country. We have also been forced to reclaim phone numbers from our customers as a result of certain non-compliance events. These reclamations result in loss of customers, loss of revenue, reputational harm, erosion of customer trust, and may also result in breach of contract claims, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Due to their limited availability, there are certain popular area code prefixes that we generally cannot obtain. Our inability to acquire or retain DIDs for our operations would make our voice and messaging products less attractive to potential customers in the affected local geographic areas. In addition, future growth in our customer base, together with growth in the customer bases of other providers of cloud communications, has increased, which increases our dependence on needing sufficiently large quantities of DIDs. It may become increasingly difficult to source larger quantities of DIDs as we scale and we may need to pay higher costs for DIDs, and DIDs may become subject to more stringent regulation or conditions of usage such as the registration and on-going compliance requirements discussed above.

Additionally, in some geographies, we support number portability, which allows our customers to transfer their existing phone numbers to us and thereby retain their existing phone numbers when subscribing to our voice and messaging products. Transferring existing numbers is a manual process that can take up to 15 business days or longer to complete. Any delay that we experience in transferring these numbers typically results from the fact that we depend on network service providers to transfer these numbers, a process that we do not control, and these network service providers may refuse or substantially delay the transfer of these numbers to us. Number portability is considered an important feature by many potential customers, and if we fail to reduce any related delays, then we may experience increased difficulty in acquiring new customers.

Any of the foregoing factors could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our credit facility arrangements contain restrictive and financial covenants that may limit our operating flexibility.

Our credit facility agreements contain certain restrictive covenants that either limit our ability to, or require a mandatory prepayment in the event we, incur additional indebtedness and liens, merge with other companies or consummate certain changes of control, acquire other companies, engage in new lines of business, change business locations, make certain investments, pay dividends, make any payments on any subordinated debt, transfer or dispose of assets, amend certain material agreements, and enter into various specified transactions. We, therefore, may not be able to engage in any of the foregoing transactions unless we

TABLE OF CONTENTS

obtain the consent of our lenders or prepay the outstanding amount under these credit facility agreements. These agreements also contain certain financial covenants and financial reporting requirements. We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow or sales to meet the financial covenants or pay the principal and interest under these credit facility arrangements. Furthermore, our future working capital, borrowings, or equity financing could be unavailable to repay or refinance the amounts outstanding under the credit facility. In the event of liquidation, our lenders would be repaid all outstanding principal and interest prior to distribution of assets to unsecured creditors, and the holders of our Class A and Class B common shares would receive a portion of any liquidation proceeds only if all of our creditors, including our lenders, were first repaid in full.

Our holding company structure makes us dependent on the operations of our subsidiaries.

We are a company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands with limited liability. Our material assets are our direct and indirect equity interests in our subsidiaries. We are, therefore, dependent upon payments, dividends and distributions from our subsidiaries for funds to pay our holding company’s operating and other expenses and to pay future cash dividends or distributions, if any, to holders of our Class A common shares. The amount of any dividends or distributions which may be paid to us from time to time will depend on many factors including, for example, such subsidiaries results of operations and financial condition; limits on dividends under applicable law; its constitutional documents; documents governing any indebtedness; applicability of tax treaties; and other factors which may be outside our control. Furthermore, exchange rate fluctuation will affect the U.S. dollar value of any distributions our subsidiaries (which are currently mostly located in Brazil) make with respect to our equity interests in those subsidiaries. See “— Certain Risks Relating to Brazil — Exchange rate instability may have adverse effects on the Brazilian economy, us and the price of our Class A common shares,” “The ongoing economic uncertainty and political instability in Brazil, including as a result of ongoing investigations, may harm us and the price of our Class A common shares” and “Dividends and Dividend Policy.”

Breaches of our networks or systems, or those of our cloud infrastructure providers or our service providers, could degrade our ability to conduct our business, compromise the integrity of our products, platform and data, result in significant data losses and the theft of our intellectual property, damage our reputation, expose us to liability to third parties and require us to incur significant additional costs to maintain the security of our networks and data.

We depend upon our IT systems to conduct virtually all of our business operations, ranging from our internal operations and research and development activities to our marketing and sales efforts and communications with our customers and sales channel partners. Individuals or entities may attempt to penetrate our network security, or that of our platform, and to cause harm to our business operations, including by misappropriating our proprietary information or that of our customers, employees and sales channel partners or to cause interruptions of our products and platform. In particular, cyberattacks and other malicious internet-based activity continue to increase in frequency and in magnitude generally, and cloud-based companies have been targeted in the past. In addition to threats from traditional computer hackers, malicious code (such as malware, viruses, worms, and ransomware), employee theft or misuse, password spraying, phishing, credential stuffing, and denial-of-service attacks, we can also face threats from sophisticated organized crime, nation-state, and nation-state supported actors who engage in attacks (including advanced persistent threat intrusions) that add to the risk to our systems (including those hosted on cloud infrastructure providers, internal networks, our customers’ systems and the information that they store and process. While we devote significant financial and personnel resources to implement and maintain security measures, because the techniques used by such individuals or entities to access, disrupt or sabotage devices, systems and networks change frequently and may not be recognized until launched against a target, we may be required to make further investments over time to protect data and infrastructure as cybersecurity threats develop, evolve and grow more complex over time. We may also be unable to anticipate these techniques, and we may not become aware in a timely manner of such a security breach, which could exacerbate any damage we experience.

Additionally, we depend upon our employees and contractors to appropriately handle confidential and sensitive data, including customer data, and to deploy our IT resources in a safe and secure manner that does not expose our network systems to security breaches or the loss of data. We have been and expect to

TABLE OF CONTENTS

be subject to cybersecurity threats and incidents, including employee errors or individual attempts to gain unauthorized access to information systems. Any data security incidents, including internal malfeasance or inadvertent disclosures by our employees or a third party’s fraudulent inducement of our employees to disclose information, unauthorized access or usage, virus or similar breach or disruption of us or our service providers, could result in loss of confidential information, damage to our reputation, erosion of customer trust, loss of customers, litigation, regulatory investigations, fines, penalties and other liabilities. Such liabilities are also related to the penalties, lawsuits and other regulatory scrutiny arising from the LGPD and the Brazilian Code of Consumer Defense. According to the Brazilian Code of Consumer Defense, consumers may file complaints with consumer protection agencies, comprising the Federal Consumer Agency (Departamento de Proteção e Defesa do Consumidor), and the local consumer protection agencies, or PROCONs. In case consumer protection agencies identify a violation of the Brazilian Code of Consumer Defense, such agencies may impose the penalties set forth in section 56 of the Brazilian Code of Consumer Defense (commonly a fine that varies from R$800 (eight hundred reais) up to R$9.5 million, depending on the size of the company, the advantage obtained as result of the practice and the seriousness of the case). Consumers may also file civil lawsuits seeking compensation for damages. In addition, the Public Prosecutor’s Office may initiate a proceeding which consists of civil inquiries or investigations arising from consumer complaints in order to verify the company’s compliance with consumer law. If the inquiries or investigations conclude that there was no infraction to the law, administrative proceedings filed by the Public Prosecutor Office may be postponed or closed. However, administrative proceedings may also lead to Terms of Conduct Adjustment, or TACs, entered into between us and the relevant authorities, which are intended to adjust our conduct to certain requirements and legal standards, or lead to a public civil action (ação civil pública) against us. Accordingly, if our cybersecurity measures or those of our service providers, fail to protect against unauthorized access, attacks (which may include sophisticated cyberattacks), compromise or the mishandling of data by our employees and contractors, our reputation, customer trust, business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. Vulnerability to cyberattacks may increase in light of our adoption of a permanent remote work policy (Zenvia Anywhere), a measure that we implemented as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. While we maintain errors, omissions, and cyber liability insurance policies covering certain security and privacy damages, we cannot be certain that our existing insurance coverage will continue to be available on acceptable terms or will be available, and in sufficient amounts, to cover the potentially significant losses that may result from a security incident or breach or that the insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim.

For further information regarding sanctions, see “Business and Industry — Regulatory Matters — Impacts of the enforcement of Law No. 13,709/2018 (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais), or LGPD, to our products and platform and our business model.”

Unfavorable conditions in our industry or the global economy or reductions in spending on information technology and communications could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our results of operations may vary based on the impact of changes in our industry or the global economy on our customers. Our results of operations depend in part on demand for information technology and cloud communications. In addition, our revenue is dependent on the usage of our products, which in turn is influenced by the scale of business that our customers are conducting. To the extent that weak economic conditions, geopolitical developments, such as existing and potential trade wars, and other events outside of our control such as the COVID-19 pandemic, result in a reduced volume of business for, and communications by, our customers and prospective customers, demand for, and use of, our products may decline. Furthermore, weak economic conditions may make it more difficult to collect on outstanding accounts receivable. If our customers reduce their use of our products, or prospective customers delay adoption or elect not to adopt our products, as a result of a weak economy, this could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting have been identified. If we are unable to remedy such material weaknesses or fail to establish and maintain a proper and effective system of disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements, our results of operations and our ability to operate our business or comply with applicable regulations may be adversely affected.

Prior to this offering, we have been a private company with limited accounting personnel and other resources to address our internal control over financial reporting. In connection with the audit of our

TABLE OF CONTENTS

financial statements, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified certain material weaknesses in our internal controls. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses identified relate to the (1) ineffective design, implementation and operation of controls, including the lack of training and experience of the finance team, within the financial reporting process relating to preparation and review of the financial statements, including the technical application of IFRS and applicability of required disclosures; (2) ineffective design, implementation and operation of controls within the financial process covering the maintenance of proper accounting records and the preparation and review of financial statements, including required disclosures for subsidiaries acquired in business combinations; and (3) ineffective design, implementation and operation of general information technology controls, or GITCs, in the areas of user access and program change-management over information technology systems that support the financial reporting processes, which resulted in business process controls that are dependent on the affected GITCs. We plan to adopt measures that will improve our internal control over financial reporting, including increasing the depth and experience within our accounting and finance team and designing and implementing improved processes and internal controls. As of the date of this prospectus, we are in the process of considering and implementing remedial measures. For instance, we have planned an assessment of our internal control gaps by specialized consultants, as well as the adoption of processes and corrections of controls arising from this evaluation. This assessment will start in the second quarter of 2021, and we expect to have it completed before the end of the third quarter of 2021. Improvements in our internal control environment will start as soon as we complete this assessment. Additionally, we expect to implement improvements to the softwares used to control information (ERP, billing system, planning system, among others) during 2021 and 2022, as well as to obtain ISO27001 certification. We currently expect to spend approximately R$5,000 thousand on these improvements. However, we cannot assure you that our efforts will be effective or prevent any future material weakness or significant deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting. Moreover, while we currently do not expect that the costs we will have to incur to remediate these material weaknesses will adversely affect our business, we may incur in unforeseen expenses.

As a public company, we will be subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires, among other things, that we establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Under the SEC’s current rules, beginning with the year ending December 31, 2022, we are required to perform system and process evaluation and testing of our internal control over financial reporting to allow management to assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our testing may reveal additional deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and render our internal control over financial reporting ineffective. We may also identify deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures. We expect to incur substantial accounting and auditing expenses and to expend significant management time in complying with these requirements. If we are not able to comply with these requirements in a timely manner, or if we identify additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, the market price of our Class A common shares may decline and we may be subject to investigations or sanctions by the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA, or other regulatory authorities. In addition, we may be required to expend significant management time and financial resources to correct any material weaknesses that may be identified or to respond to any regulatory investigations or proceedings.

The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information included in this prospectus may not be indicative of our consolidated financial condition or results of operations after giving effect to the Sirena Acquisition and the D1 Acquisition.

The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information contained in this prospectus has been presented for informational purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that actually would have occurred had the acquisition of Sirena and D1 by us (as well as the acquisition of Smarkio by D1) been consummated as of January 1, 2020, nor is it indicative of our future operating results or financial positions after the assumed consummation of the D1 Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information reflects various adjustments, assumptions and estimates, and may not be indicative of our consolidated financial condition or results of operations after giving effect to

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the Sirena Acquisition and the D1 Acquisition by us. For instance, the estimates of final consideration amounts for the D1 Acquisition presented in the “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information” are preliminary and subject to the transactions described therein progressing to a sufficiently advanced stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement of final consideration amounts. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information.”

The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information does not reflect future events that may occur, including the costs related to a potential integration and any future nonrecurring charges resulting from the acquisition of Sirena and D1 by us (as well as the acquisition of Smarkio by D1), and does not consider potential impacts of current market conditions on revenues or expenses efficiencies. The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information is based in part on certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Our assumptions may not prove to be accurate over time.

We may not be able to successfully manage our intellectual property and may be subject to infringement claims.

We rely on a network of contractual rights, trademarks, patents and trade secrets to establish and protect our proprietary rights, including our technology. For further information regarding our intellectual property, see “Business and Industry — Intellectual Property.” Third parties may challenge, invalidate, circumvent, infringe or misappropriate our intellectual property, or such intellectual property may not be sufficient to permit us to take advantage of current market trends or otherwise to provide competitive advantages, which could result in costly redesign efforts, discontinuance of certain service offerings or other competitive harm. Others, including our competitors, may independently develop similar technology, duplicate our services or design around our intellectual property, and in such cases, we could not assert our intellectual property rights against such parties. Further, our contractual arrangements may not effectively prevent disclosure of our confidential information or provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized disclosure of our confidential information. We may have to litigate to enforce or determine the scope and enforceability of our intellectual property rights, trade secrets and know-how, which is expensive, could cause a diversion of resources and may not prove successful. Also, because of the rapid pace of technological change in our industry, aspects of our business and our services rely on technologies developed or licensed by third parties, and we may not be able to obtain or continue to obtain licenses and technologies from these third parties on reasonable terms or at all. The loss of intellectual property protection, the inability to obtain third-party intellectual property or delay or refusal by relevant regulatory authorities to approve pending intellectual property registration applications could adversely affect our business and ability to compete.

We may also be subject to costly litigation in the event our services and technology infringe upon or otherwise violate a third party’s proprietary rights. Third parties may have, or may eventually be issued, patents that could be infringed by our proprietary rights. Any of these third parties could make a claim of infringement against us with respect to our proprietary rights. We may also be subject to claims by third parties for breach of copyright, trademark, license usage or other intellectual property rights. Any claim from third parties may result in a limitation on our ability to use the intellectual property subject to these claims or could prevent us from registering our brands as trademarks. Even if we believe that intellectual property related claims are without merit, defending against such claims is time-consuming and expensive and could result in the diversion of the time and attention of our management and employees. Claims of intellectual property infringement also might require us to redesign affected services, enter into costly settlement or license agreements, pay costly damage awards, change our brands, or face a temporary or permanent injunction prohibiting us from marketing or selling certain of our services or using certain of our brands. Even if we have an agreement for indemnification against such costs, the indemnifying party, if any in such circumstances, may be unable to uphold its contractual obligations. If we cannot or do not license the infringed technology on reasonable terms or substitute similar technology from another source, our revenue and earnings could be adversely impacted.

In the future, we may also introduce or acquire new products, technologies or businesses, including in areas where we historically have not participated in, which could increase our exposure to intellectual property claims. Any claims or litigation could cause us to incur significant expenses and, if successfully asserted against us, could require that we pay substantial damages or ongoing royalty payments, prevent us from offering our products, or require that we comply with other unfavorable terms. We may also be obligated to

TABLE OF CONTENTS

indemnify our customers or sales channel partners in connection with any such litigation and to obtain licenses or modify our products or platform, which could further exhaust our resources. Litigation is inherently uncertain and even if we were to prevail in the event of claims or litigation against us, any claim or litigation regarding intellectual property could be costly and time-consuming and divert the attention of our management and other employees from our business. Patent infringement, trademark infringement, trade secret misappropriation and other intellectual property claims and proceedings brought against us, whether successful or not, could harm our brand, business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, laws of the countries where we operate do not protect intellectual property and other proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. To the extent we expand our international activities, our exposure to unauthorized copying, transfer and use of our proprietary technology or information may increase.

We cannot be certain that our means of protecting our intellectual property and proprietary rights will be adequate or that our competitors will not independently develop similar technology. If we fail to meaningfully protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Our customers’ and other users’ violation of our policies or other misuse of our platform to transmit unauthorized, offensive or illegal messages, spam, phishing scams, and website links to harmful applications or for other fraudulent or illegal activity could damage our reputation, and we may face a risk of litigation and liability for illegal activities on our platform and unauthorized, inaccurate, or fraudulent information distributed via our platform.

The actual or perceived improper sending of text messages, Facebook messages, WhatsApp messages or voice calls may subject us to potential risks, including liabilities or claims relating to the LGPD and other consumer protection laws and regulatory enforcement, including fines. The scope and interpretation of the laws that are or may be applicable to the delivery of text messages are continuously evolving and developing. If we do not comply with these laws or regulations or if we become liable under these laws or regulations due to the failure of our customers to comply with these laws by obtaining proper consent, we could face direct liability.

Moreover, despite our efforts to limit any such use, there is a chance that certain of our customers may use our platform to transmit unauthorized, offensive or illegal messages, calls, spam, phishing scams, and website links to harmful applications, reproduce and distribute copyrighted material or the trademarks of others without permission, and report inaccurate or fraudulent data or information. These actions are in violation of our policies made available to them. However, our efforts to defeat spamming attacks, illegal robocalls and other fraudulent activity will not prevent all such attacks and activity. Such use of our platform could damage our reputation and we could face claims for damages, copyright or trademark infringement, defamation, negligence, or fraud and be subject to fines imposed by our network service providers. Moreover, our customers’ and other users’ promotion of their products and services through our platform might not comply with federal, state, and foreign laws. We rely on contractual representations made to us by our customers that their use of our platform will comply with our policies and applicable law, including, without limitation, our messaging policies. Although we retain the right to verify that customers and other users are abiding by certain contractual terms, our customers and other users are ultimately responsible for compliance with our policies, and we do not systematically audit our customers or other users to confirm compliance with our policies. We cannot predict whether our role in facilitating our customers’ or other users’ activities would expose us to liability under applicable law. Even if claims asserted against us do not result in liability, we may incur substantial costs in investigating and defending such claims. If we are found liable for our customers’ or other users’ activities, we could be required to pay fines or penalties, redesign business methods or otherwise expend resources to remedy any damages caused by such actions and to avoid future liability.

We depend largely on our senior management, other key employees and qualified personnel, the loss of any of whom and our inability to continue to attract other qualified personnel could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our future performance depends on the continued services and contributions of our senior management, other key employees and qualified personnel to execute on our business plan, to develop our products and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

platform, to deliver our products to customers, to attract and retain customers and to identify and pursue opportunities. The loss of members of our senior management, other key employees and qualified personnel could disrupt our operations and significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our development and strategic objectives. In particular, we depend to a considerable degree on the vision, skills, experience and effort of our founder and chief executive officer, Cassio Bobsin.

None of our executive officers or other senior management personnel is bound by a written employment agreement and any of them may terminate employment with us at any time with no advance notice. If members of our senior management team resign, we may not be able to sustain our existing culture or replace them with individuals of the same experience and qualification. The replacement of any of our senior management personnel would likely involve significant time and costs, and such loss could significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our business objectives. The loss of the services of any of our senior management or other key employees for any reason could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our future success also depends on our ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain, motivate and manage other highly skilled technical, managerial, information technology (particularly developers) and marketing, product, sales and customer service personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and we may not be able to successfully attract, hire, train, retain, motivate and manage sufficiently qualified personnel. If we are unable to retain and motivate our existing employees and attract qualified personnel to fill key positions, we may be unable to manage our business effectively, including the development, marketing and sale of our products, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. To the extent we hire personnel from competitors, we also may be subject to allegations that they have been improperly solicited or disclosed proprietary or other confidential information.

In addition, even if we are successful in hiring qualified sales personnel, newly hired personnel require significant training and experience before they achieve full productivity, particularly for sales efforts targeted at businesses and new regions (including outside of Brazil). Our recent hires and planned hires may not become as productive as quickly as we expect, and we may be unable to hire or retain sufficient numbers of qualified individuals in the future in the markets where we do business.

Volatility in, or lack of performance of, our Class A common share price may also affect our ability to attract and retain key personnel. Many of our key personnel are, or will soon be, vested in a substantial number of stock options to purchase our Class A common shares. Employees may be more likely to terminate their employment with us if the shares underlying their vested options have significantly appreciated in value relative to the original exercise prices of the options, or, conversely, if the exercise prices of the options that they hold are significantly above the trading price of our Class A common shares. If we are unable to retain our employees, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. For further information regarding our long-term compensation incentive plans, see “Management — IPO Grants and Post-IPO Equity Incentive Plan.”

We may require additional financing to support our future capital requirements and we may not be able to secure such financing on favorable terms or at all.

We intend to continue to make investments to support our business and may require additional funds. In particular, we may seek additional funds to develop new products and enhance our platform and existing products, expand our operations, including our sales and marketing departments and our presence outside of Brazil, improve our infrastructure or acquire complementary businesses, technologies, services, products and other assets. Accordingly, we may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through future issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our shareholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our Class A common shares. Any debt financing that we may secure in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth, scale our infrastructure,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

develop product enhancements and to respond to business challenges could be significantly impaired, and our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

We face exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, and such fluctuations could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

As our international operations expand, our exposure to the effects of fluctuations in currency exchange rates will grow. For example, global political events, including the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union, trade tariff developments and other geopolitical events have caused global economic uncertainty and variability in foreign currency exchange rates. While we have primarily transacted with customers in Brazilian reais, in light of our international expansion we expect to transact with customers in Mexican pesos, Argentine pesos, Colombian pesos and U.S. dollars, among others. We expect to significantly expand the number of transactions with customers that are denominated in foreign currencies in the future as we continue to expand our business internationally. We also incur expenses for some of our network service provider costs outside of Brazil in local currencies and for employee compensation and other operating expenses at our non-Brazil locations in the local currency for such locations. Fluctuations in the exchange rates between the Brazilian real and other currencies could result in an increase to the Brazilian equivalent of such expenses.

As we continue to expand our international operations, we become more exposed to the effects of fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Accordingly, changes in the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can affect our results of operations due to transactional and translational remeasurements. As a result of such foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, it could be more difficult to detect underlying trends in our business and results of operations. In addition, to the extent that fluctuations in currency exchange rates cause our results of operations to differ from our expectations or the expectations of our investors and securities analysts who follow our stock, the trading price of our Class A common shares could be adversely affected.

We do not currently maintain a program to hedge transactional exposures in foreign currencies. However, in the future, we may use derivative instruments, such as foreign currency forward and option contracts, to hedge certain exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The use of such hedging activities may not offset any or more than a portion of the adverse financial effects of unfavorable movements in foreign exchange rates over the limited time the hedges are in place. Moreover, the use of hedging instruments may introduce additional risks if we are unable to structure effective hedges with such instruments.

The costs and effects of pending and future litigation, investigations or similar matters, or adverse facts and developments related thereto, could materially affect our business, financial position and results of operations.

In the ordinary course of business, we and our subsidiaries are and may continue to be in the future parties to tax, civil, labor and consumer protection proceedings, as well as arbitration and administrative investigations, inspections and proceedings whose outcomes may be unfavorable to us. As of December 31, 2020, we have established an amount of R$31,780 thousand in provisions for disputes that represent a probable loss for us and our subsidiaries. Also, we are not required to record provisions for proceedings in which our management judges the risk of loss to be possible or remote. However, the amounts involved in some of these proceedings may be substantial, and eventual losses on them could be significantly high. Even for the amounts recorded as provisions for probable losses, a judgment against us would have an impact on our cash flow if we were required to pay those amounts and the eventual losses could be higher than the provisions we have recorded. Unfavorable decisions in our legal proceedings (including court decisions unfavorable to us in amounts above those provisioned for or that prevent us from carrying out our projects, as initially planned) may, therefore, reduce our liquidity and have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. For more information on material legal proceedings, see “Business and Industry — Legal and Administrative Proceedings.”

There are risks for which our insurance policies may not adequately cover or for which we have no insurance coverage. Insufficient insurance coverage or the materialization of such uninsured risks could adversely affect us.

Our insurance policies may not adequately cover all risks to which we are exposed. In addition, we may not carry insurance sufficient to compensate us for any losses that may result from claims arising from defects

TABLE OF CONTENTS

or disruptions in our products. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our insurance policies in the future or that we will be able to renew them at reasonable prices or on acceptable terms, which may adversely affect our business and the trading price of our Class A common shares. Moreover, we are subject to risks for which we are uninsured, such as war, acts of God, including hurricanes, other force majeure events and breaches of the security of our systems by hackers. The occurrence of a significant loss that is not insured or compensable, or that is only partially insured or compensable, may require us to commit significant cash resources to cover such losses, which may adversely affect us.

Certain Risks Relating to Brazil

The Brazilian federal government frequently exercises significant influence over the Brazilian economy and occasionally makes significant changes in policy and regulations. The Brazilian government’s actions to control inflation and other policies and regulations have often involved, among other measures, increases or decreases in interest rates, changes in fiscal policies, wage and price controls, foreign exchange rate controls, blocking access to bank accounts, currency devaluations, capital controls and import and export restrictions. We have no control over and cannot predict what measures or policies the Brazilian government may take in the future, and how these can impact us and our business. We and the market price of our securities may be harmed by changes in Brazilian government policies, as well as general economic factors, including, without limitation:

•

growth or downturn of the Brazilian economy;

•

interest rates and monetary policies;

•

exchange rates and currency fluctuations;

•

inflation;

•

liquidity of the domestic capital and lending markets;

•

import and export controls;

•

exchange controls and restrictions on remittances abroad and payments of dividends;

•

modifications to laws and regulations according to political, social and economic interests;

•

fiscal policy and changes in tax laws;

•

economic, political and social instability, including general strikes and mass demonstrations;

•

the regulatory framework governing our industry;

•

labor and social security regulations;

•

public health crises, such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic; and

•

other political, diplomatic, social and economic developments in or affecting Brazil.

Uncertainty over whether the Brazilian federal government will implement reforms or changes in policy or regulation affecting these or other factors in the future may affect economic performance and contribute to economic uncertainty in Brazil, which may have an adverse effect on our activities and consequently our operating results and may also adversely affect the trading price of our Class A common shares. Recent economic and political instability has led to a negative perception of the Brazilian economy and higher volatility in the Brazilian securities markets, which also may adversely affect us and our Class A common shares. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Macroeconomic Environment.”

The ongoing economic uncertainty and political instability in Brazil, including as a result of ongoing investigations, may harm us and the price of our Class A common shares.

Brazil’s political environment has historically influenced, and continues to influence, the performance of the country’s economy. Political crises have affected and continue to affect the confidence of investors

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and the general public, which have historically resulted in economic deceleration and heightened volatility in the securities offered by companies with significant operations in Brazil.

The recent economic instability in Brazil has contributed to a decline in market confidence in the Brazilian economy. Various ongoing investigations into allegations of money laundering and corruption being conducted by the Office of the Brazilian Federal Prosecutor, including the largest of such investigations, known as “Operação Lava Jato,” have negatively impacted the Brazilian economy and political environment. The potential outcome of these investigations is uncertain, but they have already had an adverse impact on the image and reputation of the implicated companies, and on the general market perception of the Brazilian economy. We cannot predict whether the ongoing investigations will result in further political and economic instability, or if new allegations against government officials and/or executives of private companies will arise in the future. A number of senior politicians, including current and former members of Congress and the Executive Branch, and high-ranking executive officers of major corporations and state-owned companies in Brazil were arrested, convicted of various charges relating to corruption, entered into plea agreements with federal prosecutors and/or have resigned or been removed from their positions as a result of these Lava Jato investigations. These individuals are alleged to have accepted bribes by means of kickbacks on contracts granted by the government to several infrastructure, oil and gas and construction companies. The profits of these kickbacks allegedly financed the political campaigns of political parties, for which funds were unaccounted or not publicly disclosed. These funds were also allegedly directed toward the personal enrichment of certain individuals. The effects of Lava Jato as well as other ongoing corruption-related investigations resulted in an adverse impact on the image and reputation of the companies that have been implicated as well as on the general market perception of the Brazilian economy, political environment and capital markets. We have no control over, and cannot predict, whether such investigations or allegations will lead to further political and economic instability or whether new allegations against government officials will arise in the future.

On October 28, 2018, Jair Bolsonaro, a former member of the military and three-decade congressman, was elected the president of Brazil and took office on January 1, 2019. During his presidential campaign, President Bolsonaro was reported to favor the privatization of state-owned companies, economic liberalization, and social security and tax reforms. However, there is no guarantee that President Bolsonaro will be successful in executing his campaign promises or passing certain reforms fully or at all, particularly when confronting a divided Congress. In addition, his current minister of the economy, Paulo Guedes, proposed during the presidential campaign the revocation of the income tax exemption on the payment of dividends, which, if enacted, would increase the tax expenses associated with any dividend or distribution by Brazilian companies, which could impact our capacity to receive future cash dividends or distributions net of taxes from our subsidiaries. Moreover, President Bolsonaro was generally a polarizing figure during his campaign for the presidency, particularly in relation to certain of his behavioral views, and we cannot predict the ways in which a divided electorate may continue to impact his presidency and ability to implement policies and reforms, as well as external perception regarding the Brazilian economy and political environment, all of which could have a negative impact on our business and the price of our securities.

Furthermore, during April 2020, President Bolsonaro became involved in a political dispute that culminated in the resignation of both the then Minister of Health, Luiz Henrique Mandetta, and Minister of Justice, Sergio Moro. These former ministers were considered key names in the current administration, and the ministerial changes triggered further instability in the Brazilian economy and capital markets. As of the date of this prospectus, President Bolsonaro is under investigation by the Federal Supreme Court (Supremo Tribunal Federal) for misconduct alleged by former Minister of Justice Mr. Sergio Moro. According to the former minister, the President exerted undue political pressure to appoint certain members of the Brazilian federal police for potential personal benefit and for the benefit of his family. If the President did in fact infringe the law, any resulting consequences, including potential impeachment, could have material adverse effects on the political and economic scenario in Brazil, and on businesses operating here, including our business. Also, President Jair Bolsonaro has been criticized in Brazil and internationally as a result of his actions to combat the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, increasing the political uncertainty and the instability in Brazil. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, three individuals already took office as Minister of Health.

It is expected that the current Brazilian federal government may propose the general terms of fiscal reform to stimulate the economy and reduce the forecasted budget deficit for 2020 and following years, but

TABLE OF CONTENTS

it is uncertain whether the Brazilian government will be able to gather the required support in the Brazilian Congress to pass additional specific reforms. We cannot predict which policies the Brazilian federal government may adopt or change or the effect that any such policies might have on our business and on the Brazilian economy. In addition, the Brazilian government is incurring significant levels of debt to finance measures to combat the COVID-19 pandemic which is expected to increase the Brazilian budget deficit. Any such new policies or changes to current policies, including measures to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, may have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Any of the above factors may create additional political uncertainty, which could harm the Brazilian economy and, consequently, our business and the price of our Class A common shares.

In the past, Brazil has experienced extremely high rates of inflation. Inflation and some of the measures taken by the Brazilian government in an attempt to curb inflation have had significant negative effects on the Brazilian economy generally. Inflation, policies adopted to curb inflationary pressures and uncertainties regarding possible future governmental intervention have contributed to economic uncertainty and heightened volatility in the Brazilian capital markets.

According to the National Consumer Price Index (Índice Nacional de Preços ao Consumidor Amplo), or IPCA, which is published by the Brazilian Institute for Geography and Statistics (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística), or IBGE, Brazilian inflation rates were 4.5%, 4.3% and 3.8% for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Brazil may experience high levels of inflation in the future and inflationary pressures may lead to the Brazilian government’s intervening in the economy and introducing policies that could harm our business and the price of our Class A common shares. One of the tools used by the Brazilian government to control inflation levels is its monetary policy, specifically in regard to the official Brazilian interest rate. An increase in the interest rate restricts the availability of credit and reduces economic growth, and vice versa. During recent years there has been significant volatility in the official Brazilian interest rate, which ranged from 14.25%, on December 31, 2015, to 4.50% on December 31, 2019 and 2.00% as of December 31, 2020. As of the date hereof, the official Brazilian interest rate is 3.50%. This rate is set by the Monetary Policy Committee of the Central Bank of Brazil (Comitê de Política Monetária), or COPOM. Any change in interest rate, in particular any volatile swings, can adversely affect our growth, indebtedness and financial condition.

Exchange rate instability may have adverse effects on the Brazilian economy, us and the price of our Class A common shares.

The Brazilian currency has been historically volatile and has been devalued frequently over the past three decades. Throughout this period, the Brazilian government has implemented various economic plans and used various exchange rate policies, including sudden devaluations, periodic mini-devaluations (during which the frequency of adjustments has ranged from daily to monthly), exchange controls, dual exchange rate markets and a floating exchange rate system. Although long-term depreciation of the real is generally linked to the rate of inflation in Brazil, depreciation of the real occurring over shorter periods of time has resulted in significant variations in the exchange rate between the real, the U.S. dollar and other currencies. In 2014, the real depreciated by 11.8% against the U.S. dollar, while in 2015 it further depreciated by 32%. The real/U.S. dollar exchange rate reported by the Central Bank was R$3.259 per US$1.00 on December 31, 2016, an appreciation of 16.5% against the rate of R$3.905 per US$1.00 reported on December 31, 2015. In 2017, the real depreciated by 1.5%, with the exchange rate reaching R$3.308 per US$1.00 on December 31, 2017. In 2018, the real depreciated an additional 17.1%, to R$3.875 per US$1.00 on December 31, 2018. The real/U.S. dollar exchange rate reported by the Central Bank was R$4.031 per US$1.00 on December 31, 2019, which reflected a 4.0% depreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar for the year. Recently, due to the COVID-19 and the economic and political instability, the real depreciated 47.2% against the U.S. dollar since December 31, 2019, and reached R$5.937 per US$1.00 as of May 14, 2020, its lowest level since the introduction of the currency in 1994. The exchange rate reported by the Central Bank was R$5.1967 per US$1.00 on December 31, 2020 and R$5.4087 per US$1.00 on May 3, 2021. There can be no assurance that the real will not again depreciate against the U.S. dollar or other currencies in the future.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

A devaluation of the real relative to the U.S. dollar could create inflationary pressures in Brazil and cause the Brazilian government to, among other measures, increase interest rates. Any depreciation of the real may generally restrict access to the international capital markets. It would also reduce the U.S. dollar value of our results of operations. Restrictive macroeconomic policies could reduce the stability of the Brazilian economy and harm our results of operations and profitability. In addition, domestic and international reactions to restrictive economic policies could have a negative impact on the Brazilian economy. These policies and any reactions to them may harm us by curtailing access to foreign financial markets and prompting further government intervention. A devaluation of the real relative to the U.S. dollar may also, as in the context of the current economic slowdown, decrease consumer spending, increase deflationary pressures and reduce economic growth.

On the other hand, an appreciation of the real relative to the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies may deteriorate the Brazilian foreign exchange current accounts. Depending on the circumstances, either devaluation or appreciation of the real relative to the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies could restrict the growth of the Brazilian economy, as well as affecting our business, results of operations and profitability.

Infrastructure and workforce deficiency in Brazil may impact economic growth and have a material adverse effect on us.

Our performance depends on the overall health and growth of the Brazilian economy. Brazilian GDP growth has fluctuated over the past few years, with contractions of 3.5% and 3.3% in 2015 and 2016, respectively, followed by growth of 1.3% in both 2017 and 2018, 1.1% for the year ended December 31, 2019 and a contraction of 4.1% for the year ended December 31, 2020. Growth is limited by inadequate infrastructure, including potential energy shortages and deficient transportation, logistics and telecommunication sectors, general strikes, the lack of a qualified labor force (particularly developers), and the lack of private and public investments in these areas, which limit productivity and efficiency. Any of these factors could lead to labor market volatility and generally impact income, purchasing power and consumption levels, which could limit growth and ultimately have a material adverse effect on us.

Developments and the perceptions of risks in other countries, including other emerging markets, the United States and Europe, may harm the Brazilian economy and the price of our Class A common shares.

The market for securities offered by companies with significant operations in Brazil is influenced by political, economic and market conditions in Brazil and, to varying degrees, market conditions in other Latin American and emerging markets, as well as the United States, Europe and other countries. To the extent the conditions of the global markets or economy deteriorate, the business of companies with significant operations in Brazil may be harmed. The weakness in the global economy has been marked by, among other adverse factors, lower levels of consumer and corporate confidence, decreased business investment and consumer spending, increased unemployment, reduced income and asset values in many areas, reduction of China’s growth rate, currency volatility and limited availability of credit and access to capital, in addition to significant uncertainty results from the current COVID-19 pandemic. Developments or economic conditions in other countries may significantly affect the availability of credit to companies with significant operations in Brazil and result in considerable outflows of funds from Brazil, decreasing the amount of foreign investments in Brazil.

Crises and political instability in other emerging market countries, the United States, Europe or other countries could decrease investor demand for securities offered by companies with significant operations in Brazil, such as our Class A common shares. Investor sentiment in one country may cause capital markets in other countries to fluctuate, affecting the value of our Class A common shares, even if indirectly. The economic, political and social instability in the United States, the trade war between the United States and China, crises in Europe and other countries and global tensions, as well as economic or political crises and social unrest in Latin America or other emerging markets, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, can significantly affect the perception of the risks inherent in investment in Brazil.

On November 7, 2020, Joseph Biden won the presidential election in the United States and assumed office as the 46th President of the United States on January 20, 2021. The U.S. president has considerable influence, which may materially and adversely global economy and political stability. We cannot ensure that the Biden administration will adopt policies designed to promote macroeconomic stability, fiscal discipline,

as well as domestic and foreign investment, which may materially and adversely impact the trading price of securities of Brazilian issuers, including our common shares. Growing economic uncertainty and news of a potentially recessive economy in the United States may also create uncertainty in the Brazilian economy.In addition, on June 2016, the United Kingdom held a referendum in which the majority voted for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union (so called “Brexit”), and the British government will continue to negotiate the terms of its withdrawal. Brexit officially occurred on January 31, 2020 and has created significant economic uncertainty in the United Kingdom and in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. The terms of Brexit, once negotiated, could potentially disrupt the markets we serve and the tax jurisdictions in which we operate and adversely change tax benefits or liabilities in these or other jurisdictions, and may cause us to lose investors, investment opportunities and employees. In addition, Brexit could lead to legal uncertainty and potentially divergent national laws and regulations as the United Kingdom determines which EU laws to replace or replicate. These developments, as well as potential crises and other forms of political instability or any other as of yet unforeseen development, may harm our business and the price of our Class A common shares.

Any further downgrading of Brazil’s credit rating could reduce the trading price of our Class A common shares.

We may be harmed by investors’ perceptions of risks related to Brazil’s sovereign debt credit rating. Rating agencies regularly evaluate Brazil and its sovereign ratings, which are based on a number of factors including macroeconomic trends, fiscal and budgetary conditions, indebtedness metrics and the perspective of changes in any of these factors.

The rating agencies began to review Brazil’s sovereign credit rating in September 2015. Subsequently, the three major rating agencies downgraded Brazil’s investment-grade status:

•

In 2015, Standard & Poor’s initially downgraded Brazil’s credit rating from BBB-negative to BB-positive and subsequently downgraded it again from BB-positive to BB, maintaining its negative outlook, citing a worse credit situation since the first downgrade. On January 11, 2018, Standard & Poor’s further downgraded Brazil’s credit rating from BB to BB-negative. The BB-negative rating was affirmed on February 7, 2019 with a stable outlook, which reflects the agency’s expectations that the Brazilian government will be able to implement policies to gradually improve the fiscal deficit, as well as a mild economic recovery, given improvements in consumer confidence. In April 2020, Standard & Poor’s revised the credit rating for Brazil to BB-negative with a stable outlook, which was affirmed in December 2020.

•

In December 2015, Moody’s reviewed and downgraded Brazil’s issue and bond ratings from Baa3 to below investment grade, Ba2 with a negative outlook, citing the prospect of a further deterioration in Brazil’s debt indicators, considering the low growth environment and the challenging political scenario. In April 2018, Moody’s affirmed its Ba2 rating, but altered its outlook from “negative” to “stable,” also supported by the projection that the Brazilian government would approve fiscal reforms and that economic growth in Brazil would resume gradually. In May 2020, Moody’s maintained the Ba2 rating with a stable outlook.

•

In 2016, Fitch downgraded Brazil’s sovereign credit rating to BB-positive with a negative outlook, citing the rapid expansion of the country’s budget deficit and the worse-than-expected recession. In February 2018, Fitch downgraded Brazil’s sovereign credit rating again to BB-negative, citing, among other reasons, fiscal deficits, the increasing burden of public debt and an inability to implement reforms that would structurally improve Brazil’s public finances. The BB-negative rating was affirmed in May 2019. In May 2020, Fitch affirmed Brazil’s long-term foreign currency issuer default rating at BB-negative and revised the rating outlook to negative, citing the deterioration of the Brazilian economic and fiscal scenarios and the worsening risks for both dimensions, given the renewed political uncertainty, in addition to the uncertainties about the duration and intensity of the COVID-19 pandemic. In November 2020, Fitch maintained the BB-negative rating with a negative outlook.

Brazil’s sovereign credit rating is currently rated below investment grade by the three credit rating agencies. Consequently, the prices of securities offered by companies with significant operations in Brazil have been negatively affected. A prolongation or worsening of the current Brazilian recession and continued

political uncertainty, among other factors, could lead to further ratings downgrades. Any further downgrade of Brazil’s sovereign credit ratings could heighten investors’ perception of risk and, as a result, cause the trading price of our Class A common shares to decline.

Certain Risks Relating to This Offering and Our Class A Common Shares

Prior to this offering, there has not been a public market for our Class A common shares. If an active trading market does not develop, investors may have difficulty selling any of our Class A common shares that they buy. We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in our company will lead to the development of an active trading market on the Nasdaq, or otherwise or how liquid that market might become. The initial public offering price for the Class A common shares will be determined by negotiations between us and the underwriters and may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the open market following this offering. Consequently, you may not be able to sell our Class A common shares at prices equal to or greater than the price paid by you in this offering. In addition to the risks described above, the market price of our Class A common shares may be influenced by many factors, some of which are beyond our control, including:

•

technological innovations by us or competitors;

•

the failure of financial analysts to cover our Class A common shares after this offering or changes in financial estimates by analysts;

•

actual or anticipated variations in our operating results;

•

changes in financial estimates by financial analysts, or any failure by us to meet or exceed any of these estimates, or changes in the recommendations of any financial analysts that elect to follow our Class A common shares or the shares of our competitors;

•

announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts or acquisitions;

•

future sales of our shares;

•

investor perceptions of us and the industries in which we operate; and

•

difficulties experienced by our parent company and/or by any of our associate companies in Brazil, or direct or indirect subsidiaries of our parent company.

In addition, the stock market in general has experienced substantial price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies affected. These broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of our Class A common shares, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of certain companies’ securities, securities class action litigation has been instituted against these companies. Any such litigation, if instituted against us, could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations. If a market does not develop or is not maintained, the liquidity and price of our Class A common shares could be materially adversely affected.

The initial price of the public offering for our Class A common shares will be determined by means of negotiations between the underwriters and ourselves and may vary in relation to the market price of our common shares following this offering. If you purchase our Class A common shares in this offering, you may not be able to resell them at the initial price or at a higher price than that of the public offering. We cannot guarantee that the market price after this offering will be equal to or higher than prices in private traded transactions of our common shares that occurred from time to time prior to the offering. The market

TABLE OF CONTENTS

price of our Class A common shares may fluctuate or decline significantly in response to a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, but not limited to:

•

actual or forecast fluctuations in revenue or in other operating and financial results;

•

variations between our actual operating results and the expectations of securities analysts, investors and the financial community;

•

action by securities analysts who begin or continue to cover us, changes in the financial estimates of any securities analysts who follow our company or our failure to meet these estimates or investors’ expectations;

•

announcements by us or by our competitors of significant products or features, technical innovations, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

•

negative media coverage or publicity affecting us or our parent company, whether true or not;

•

changes in the operating performance and stock market valuations of CX communications platform companies in general, including our competitors;

•

fluctuations in the price and volume of the stock market in general, including as a result of trends in the economy as a whole;

•

threats of proceedings and actions brought against us or decided against us;

•

developments in the legislation or regulatory action, including interim or final decisions by judicial or regulatory bodies;

•

changes in accounting standards, policies, guidelines, interpretations or principles;

•

any significant changes to our board of directors or management;

•

any security incidents or public reports of security incidents that occur in our platform or in our sector;

•

statements, comments or opinions from public officials that our product offerings are or may be illegal, regardless of interim or final decisions of judicial or regulatory bodies; and

•

other events or factors, including those resulting from war, terrorist incidents, natural disasters or responses to such events.

In addition, price and volume fluctuations in the stock markets have affected and continue to affect the stock prices of many CX communications platform companies. Often, their stock prices fluctuate in ways that are unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies. In some instances, shareholders have filed a class action lawsuit after periods of market volatility. If we are involved in litigation regarding securities, this could subject us to substantial costs, divert resources and management attention from our business and seriously undermine our business. In addition, the occurrence of any of the factors listed above, along with others, may cause our share price to drop significantly and there is no guarantee that our share price will recover. As a result, you may not be able to sell your Class A common shares at or above the initial price of the public offering and you may lose some or all of your investment.

Immediately following this offering of Class A common shares, our controlling shareholders will own 100% of our Class B common shares, resulting in their ownership of 64.39% of our outstanding shares, and, consequently, 94.76% of the combined voting power of our Class A and Class B common shares. See “Principal Shareholders.” These entities will control a majority of our voting power and will have the ability to control matters affecting, or submitted to a vote of, our shareholders. As a result, these shareholders may be able to elect the members of our board of directors and set our management policies and exercise overall control over us. Our controlling shareholders will be able to appoint the totality of our board despite

TABLE OF CONTENTS

owning a non-proportionate number of shares and will be able to control any transaction involving a merger or change of control until they own less than 9.1% (nine point one percent) of our outstanding Class A and Class B common shares. In addition, our Articles of Association require the consent of our controlling shareholders before our shareholders are able to take certain actions, including to amend such document. For more information, see “Description of Share Capital.”

The interests of these shareholders may conflict with, or differ from, the interests of other shareholders. For example, our current controlling shareholders may cause us to make acquisitions that increase the amount of our indebtedness or outstanding shares, sell revenue-generating assets or inhibit change of control transactions that benefit other shareholders. Our controlling shareholders’ decisions on these matters may be contrary to your expectations or preferences, and they may take actions that could be contrary to your interests. Our controlling shareholder will be able to prevent any other shareholders, including you, from blocking these actions. For further information regarding shareholdings in our company, see “Principal Shareholders.” So long as these shareholders continue to own a substantial number of our shares, they will significantly influence all our corporate decisions and together with other shareholders, they may be able to effect or inhibit changes in the control of our company.

Each Class A common share will entitle its holder to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders. Each holder of our Class B common shares will be entitled to ten (10) votes per Class B common share so long as the voting power of Class B common shares corresponds to 9.1% (nine point one percent) of the aggregate outstanding shares on the record date for any general meeting of the shareholders. The difference in voting rights could adversely affect the value of our Class A common shares by, for example, delaying or deferring a change of control or, if investors view or any potential future purchaser of our company views, the superior voting rights of the Class B common shares have value. Given the ten-to-one voting ratio between our Class B ordinary and Class A common shares, the holders of our Class B common shares collectively will continue to control a majority of the combined voting power of our shares and therefore be able to control all matters submitted to our shareholders so long as the Class B common shares represent at least 9.1% of all outstanding shares of our Class A ordinary and Class B common shares in addition to certain other rights to which our controlling shareholders are entitled (see risk factor immediately above and “Description of Share Capital”). This concentrated control will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters for the foreseeable future.

Future transfers by holders of Class B common shares will generally result in those shares converting to Class A common shares, subject to limited exceptions, such as certain transfers effected to permitted transferees or for estate planning or charitable purposes as well as transfers between our controlling shareholders. The conversion of Class B common shares to Class A common shares will have the effect, over time, of increasing the relative voting power of those holders of Class B common shares who retain their shares in the long term. For a description of our dual class structure, see “Description of Share Capital and Constitutional Documents — Meetings of Shareholders — Voting Rights.”

Our status as a controlled company and a foreign private issuer exempts us from certain of the corporate governance standards of the Nasdaq, limiting the protections afforded to investors.

We are a “controlled company” and a “foreign private issuer” within the meaning of the Nasdaq corporate governance standards. Under the Nasdaq rules, a controlled company is exempt from certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements. In addition, a foreign private issuer may elect to comply with the practice of its home country and not to comply with certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, including the requirements that (i) a majority of the board of directors consists of independent directors, (ii) a nominating and corporate governance committee be established that is composed entirely of independent directors and has a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities, (iii) a compensation committee be established that is composed entirely of independent directors and has a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities, and (iv) an annual performance evaluation of the nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees be undertaken. Although we have similar practices, they do not entirely conform to the Nasdaq requirements; therefore, we

TABLE OF CONTENTS

currently use these exemptions and intend to continue using them. Accordingly, you will not have the same protections provided to shareholders of companies that are subject to all Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

Class A common shares eligible for future sale may cause the market price of our Class A common shares to drop significantly.

The market price of our Class A common shares may decline as a result of sales of a large number of our Class A common shares in the market after this offering (including Class A common shares issuable upon conversion of Class B common shares) or the perception that these sales may occur. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate.

Following the completion of this offering, we will have outstanding 13,108,801 Class A common shares and 23,708,300 Class B common shares (or 15,045,165 Class A common shares and 23,708,300 Class B common shares, if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional Class A common shares). Subject to the lock up agreements described below, the Class A common shares sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, by persons other than our affiliates within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

Our controlling shareholders or entities controlled by them or its permitted transferees will, subject to the lock up agreements described below, be able to sell their shares in the public market from time to time without registering them, subject to certain limitations on the timing, amount and method of those sales imposed by regulations promulgated by the SEC. If our controlling shareholders, the affiliated entities controlled by them or its permitted transferees were to sell a large number of Class A common shares, the market price of our Class A common shares may decline significantly. In addition, the perception in the public markets that sales by them might occur may also cause the trading price of our Class A common shares to decline.

We have agreed with the underwriters, subject to certain exceptions, not to offer, sell or dispose of any shares in our share capital or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares in our share capital during the 180-day period following the date of this prospectus. Our directors, executive officers and substantially all of our shareholders have agreed to substantially similar lock up provisions. However, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC may, in their sole discretion and without notice, release all or any portion of the shares from the restrictions in any of the lock up agreements described above. In addition, these lock up agreements are subject to the exceptions described in “Underwriting,” including the right for our company to issue new shares if we carry out an acquisition or enter into a merger, joint venture or strategic participation.

Sales of a substantial number of our Class A common shares upon expiration of the lock up agreements, the perception that such sales may occur, or early release of these lock up periods, could cause our market price to fall or make it more difficult for you to sell your Class A common shares at a time and price that you deem appropriate.

Our Articles of Association contain anti-takeover provisions that may discourage a third party from acquiring us and adversely affect the rights of holders of our Class A common shares.

Our Articles of Association contain certain provisions that could limit the ability of others to acquire our control, including a provision that grants authority to our board of directors to establish and issue from time to time one or more series of preferred shares without action by our shareholders and to determine, with respect to any series of preferred shares, the terms and rights of that series. These provisions could have the effect of depriving our shareholders of the opportunity to sell their shares at a premium over the prevailing market price by discouraging third parties from seeking to obtain our control in a tender offer or similar transactions.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish reports, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable reports about our business, the price of our Class A common shares and our trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our Class A common shares will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. Securities and industry analysts currently

TABLE OF CONTENTS

cover our parent company, but they do not, and may never, publish research on our company. If no or too few securities or industry analysts commence coverage of our company, the trading price for our Class A common shares would likely be negatively affected. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade their target price for our Class A common shares or publish inaccurate or unfavorable reports about our business, the price of our Class A common shares would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our Class A common shares could decrease, which might cause the price of our Class A common shares and trading volume to decline.

We have not adopted a dividend policy with respect to future dividends. If we do not declare any dividends in the future, you will have to rely on the price appreciation of our Class A common shares in order to achieve a return on your investment.

We have not adopted a dividend policy with respect to future dividends. The amount of any distributions will depend on many factors such as our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, prospects and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors or, where applicable, our shareholders. We may retain our future earnings, if any, for the foreseeable future, to fund the operation of our business and future growth. In addition, our financing agreements may from time to time contain certain restrictions as to the distribution of dividends by us and/or our subsidiaries. For instance, under certain financial arrangements, Zenvia Brazil is currently limited from distributing dividends in excess of 25% of the profit of any given year. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Indebtedness.”

Accordingly, if we do not declare dividends in the future or there are any significant limitations on our ability to distribute dividends to our shareholders, investors will most likely have to rely on sales of their Class A common shares, which may increase or decrease in value, as the only way to realize cash from their investment. There is no guarantee that the price of our Class A common shares will ever exceed the price that you pay.

The requirements of being a public company in the United States may overstretch our resources, result in litigation and divert the attention of management from our business.

This offering will have a significant transformative effect on us. We expect to incur significant additional legal, accounting, reporting and other expenses as a result of having publicly traded Class A common shares. We will also incur costs, including, but not limited to, directors’ fees, increased directors’ and officers’ insurance, investor relations, and various other costs of a public company.

We also anticipate that we will incur costs associated with corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and the Consumer Protection Act, Nasdaq listing requirements and other rules and regulations applying to companies with publicly listed securities. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and make some management and corporate governance activities more difficult, time consuming and costly, particularly after we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” increasing the demands on our systems and resources. Among other things, the applicable SEC rules require us to file annual and current reports with respect to our business and operating results.

These rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. This could have an adverse impact on our ability to recruit and bring on a qualified independent board.

The additional demands associated with being a public company in the United States may disrupt regular operations of our business by diverting the attention of some of our senior management team away from revenue producing activities to management and administrative oversight, adversely affecting our ability to attract and complete business opportunities and increasing the difficulty in both retaining professionals and managing and growing our businesses.

In addition, the public reporting obligations associated with being a public company in the United States may subject us to litigation as a result of increased scrutiny of our financial reporting. If we are

TABLE OF CONTENTS

involved in litigation regarding our public reporting obligations, this could subject us to substantial costs, divert resources and management attention from our business and seriously undermine our business.

Our dual-class structure may result in a lower or more volatile market price of our Class A common shares. Our dual-class capital structure means our shares will not be included in certain stock indices. We cannot predict the impact this may have on our Class A common share price.

We cannot predict whether our dual class structure, combined with the concentrated control of our Company (see “Principal Shareholders”), will result in a lower or more volatile market price of our Class A common shares or in adverse publicity or other adverse consequences. FTSE Russell, S&P Dow Jones and MSCI announced changes to their eligibility criteria for the inclusion of shares of public companies on certain indices, namely, to exclude companies with multiple classes of common shares. FTSE Russell requires greater than five percent of the company’s voting rights (aggregated across all of its equity securities, including, where identifiable, those not listed or trading) in the hands of public shareholders whereas S&P Dow Jones announced that companies with multiple share class structures, such as ours, will not be eligible for inclusion in the S&P 500, S&P MidCap 400 and S&P SmallCap 600, which together comprise the S&P Composite 1500. MSCI also announced its review of no-vote and multi-class structures and temporarily barred new multi-class listings from its ACWI Investable Market Index and U.S. Investable Market 2500 Index. We cannot assure you that other stock indices will not take a similar approach to FTSE Russell, S&P Dow Jones and MSCI in the future. Pursuant to these policies, our dual class structure makes our Class A common shares ineligible for inclusion in such indices and mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and other investment vehicles that attempt to passively track these indices will not invest in our stock. Any such exclusion from indices could result in a less active trading market for our Class A common shares and depress the valuations of publicly traded companies excluded from the indices compared to those of similar companies that are included. In addition, several shareholder advisory firms have announced their opposition to the use of multiple share class structures. As a result, our dual class structure may cause shareholder advisory firms to publish negative commentary about our corporate governance practices or otherwise seek to cause us to change our capital structure. Any actions or publications by shareholder advisory firms critical of our corporate governance practices or capital structure could also adversely affect the value of our Class A common shares.

We are a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability. The rights of our shareholders, including with respect to fiduciary duties and corporate opportunities, may be different from the rights of shareholders governed by the laws of U.S. jurisdictions.

We are a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability. Our corporate affairs are governed by our Articles of Association, the Companies Act and by the laws of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders and the responsibilities of members of our board of directors may be different from the rights of shareholders and responsibilities of directors in companies governed by the laws of U.S. jurisdictions. In particular, as a matter of Cayman Islands law, directors and officers owe the following fiduciary duties: (1) duty to act in good faith in what the director or officer believes to be in the best interests of the company as a whole; (2) duty to exercise powers for the purposes for which those powers were conferred and not for a collateral purpose; (3) directors should not properly fetter the exercise of future discretion; (4) duty to exercise powers fairly as between different sections of shareholders; (5) duty to exercise independent judgment; and (6) duty not to put themselves in a position in which there is a conflict between their duty to the company and their personal interests. With respect to the duty of directors to avoid conflicts of interest, our Articles of Association vary from the applicable provision of Cayman Islands law mentioned above by providing that a director must disclose the nature and extent of his or her interest in any contract or arrangement, and following such disclosure and subject to any separate requirement under applicable law or the listing rules of the Nasdaq, and unless disqualified by the chairman of the relevant meeting, such director may vote in respect of any transaction or arrangement in which he or she is interested and may be counted in the quorum at the meeting. In addition to the above, under Cayman Islands law, directors also owe a duty of care which is not fiduciary in nature. This duty has been defined as a requirement to act as a reasonably diligent person having both the general knowledge, skill and experience that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the company and the general knowledge skill and experience which that director has. As set out above, directors

TABLE OF CONTENTS

have a duty not to put themselves in a position of conflict and this includes a duty not to engage in self-dealing, or to otherwise benefit as a result of their position. However, in some instances what would otherwise be a breach of this duty can be forgiven and/or authorized in advance by the shareholders provided that there is full disclosure by the directors. This can be done by way of permission granted in the memorandum and articles of association or alternatively by shareholder approval at general meetings. Accordingly, as a result of multiple business affiliations, our officers and directors may have similar legal obligations relating to presenting business opportunities meeting the above-listed criteria to multiple entities. In addition, conflicts of interest may arise when our board evaluates a particular business opportunity with respect to the above-listed criteria. We cannot assure you that any of the above mentioned conflicts will be resolved in our favor. Furthermore, each of our officers and directors may have pre-existing fiduciary obligations to other businesses of which they are officers or directors. Conversely, under Delaware corporate law, a director has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its stockholders (made up of two components) and the director’s duties prohibit self-dealing by a director and mandate that the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally. For more information, see “Description of Share Capital — Principal Differences between Cayman Islands and U.S. Corporate Law.”

New investors in our Class A common shares will experience immediate and substantial book value dilution after this offering.

The initial public offering price of our Class A common shares will be substantially higher than the pro forma net tangible book value per Class A common share of the outstanding Class A common shares immediately after the offering. Based on an assumed initial public offering price of US$16.50 per class A common share (the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover of this prospectus) and our net tangible book value as of December 31, 2020 if you purchase our Class A common shares in this offering you will pay more for your shares than the amounts paid by our current shareholder for its shares and you will suffer immediate dilution of approximately US$15.57 per Class A common share in pro forma net tangible book value. As a result of this dilution, investors purchasing shares in this offering may receive significantly less than the full purchase price that they paid for the shares purchased in this offering in the event of a liquidation. For more information, see “Dilution.”

We may need to raise additional capital in the future by issuing securities, use our Class A common shares as acquisition consideration, or may enter into corporate transactions with an effect similar to a merger, which may dilute your interest in our share capital, change the nature of our business, and/or affect the trading price of our Class A common shares.

We may need to raise additional funds to grow our business, including through acquisitions, and implement our growth strategy going forward by engaging in public or private issuances of common shares or securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, our common shares, which may dilute your interest in our share capital or result in a decrease in the market price of our common shares. Any fundraising through the issuance of shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares, the use of our Class A common shares as acquisition consideration, or the participation in corporate transactions with an effect similar to a merger, may dilute your interest in our capital stock, change the nature of our business from the business that you originally invested in (including as a result of merger or acquisition transactions), and/or result in a decrease in the market price of our Class A common shares.

We have broad discretion in the use of the portion of the net proceeds from this offering that will not be used in connection with the D1 Acquisition and may not use them effectively.

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the portion of the net proceeds from this offering that will not be used in connection with the D1 Acquisition and could spend such proceeds in ways that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our Class A common shares. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could result in financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value. For more information see the section “Use of Proceeds.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As a foreign private issuer and an “emerging growth company” (as defined in the JOBS Act), we will have different disclosure and other requirements from U.S. domestic registrants and non-emerging growth companies. We may take advantage of exemptions from certain corporate governance regulations of the Nasdaq, and this may result in less protection for the holders of our Class A common shares.

As a foreign private issuer and emerging growth company, we may be subject to different disclosure and other requirements than domestic U.S. registrants and non-emerging growth companies. For example, as a foreign private issuer, in the United States, we are not subject to the same disclosure requirements as a domestic U.S. registrant under the Exchange Act, including the requirements to prepare and issue quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or to file current reports on Form 8-K upon the occurrence of specified significant events, the proxy rules applicable to domestic U.S. registrants under Section 14 of the Exchange Act or the insider reporting and short swing profit rules applicable to domestic U.S. registrants under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, we intend to rely on exemptions from certain U.S. rules which will permit us to follow Cayman Islands legal requirements rather than certain of the requirements that are applicable to U.S. domestic registrants.

We will follow Cayman Islands laws and regulations that are applicable to Cayman Islands companies. However, Cayman Islands laws and regulations applicable to Cayman Islands companies do not contain any provisions comparable to the U.S. proxy rules, the U.S. rules relating to the filing of reports on Form 10-Q or 8-K or the U.S. rules relating to liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time, as referred to above.

Furthermore, foreign private issuers are required to file their annual report on Form 20-F within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, while U.S. domestic issuers that are accelerated filers are required to file their annual report on Form 10-K within 75 days after the end of each fiscal year. Foreign private issuers are also exempt from Regulation Fair Disclosure, aimed at preventing issuers from making selective disclosures of material information, although we will be subject to Cayman Islands laws and regulations having substantially the same effect as Regulation Fair Disclosure. As a result of the above, even though we are required to file reports on Form 6-K disclosing the limited information which we have made or are required to make public pursuant to Cayman Islands law, or are required to distribute to shareholders generally, and that is material to us, you may not receive information of the same type or amount that is required to be disclosed to shareholders of a U.S. company.

In addition, according to Section 303A of the Section 5605 of the Nasdaq equity rules listed companies are required, among other things, to have a majority of independent board members, and to have independent director oversight of executive compensation, nomination of directors and corporate governance matters. As a foreign private issuer, however, we are permitted to, and we will, follow home country practice in lieu of the above requirements. For more information, see the section “Description of Share Capital — Principal Differences between Cayman Islands and U.S. Corporate Law.”

The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for emerging growth companies. Under this act, as an emerging growth company, we will not be subject to the same disclosure and financial reporting requirements as non-emerging growth companies. For example, as an emerging growth company we are permitted to, and intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. Also, we will not have to comply with future audit rules promulgated by the U.S. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB (unless the SEC determines otherwise), and our auditors will not need to attest to our internal controls under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act. We may follow these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. As a result, our shareholders may not have access to certain information that they deem important. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering, (b) in which we have total annual revenue of at least US$1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our Class A common shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds US$700.0 million as of the prior June 30, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than US$1.07 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three year period. Accordingly, the information about us available to you will not be the same as, and may be more limited than, the information available to shareholders of a non-emerging growth company. We could be an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

including if the market value of our Class A common shares held by non-affiliates exceeds US$700 million as of any June 30 (the end of our second fiscal quarter) before that time, in which case we would no longer be an “emerging growth company” as of the following December 31 (our fiscal year end).

We cannot predict if investors will find our Class A common shares less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Class A common shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Class A common shares and the price of our Class A common shares may be more volatile.

We may lose our foreign private issuer status which would then require us to comply with the Exchange Act’s domestic reporting regime and cause us to incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses.

In order to maintain our current status as a foreign private issuer, either (a) more than 50% of our Class A common shares must be either directly or indirectly owned of record by nonresidents of the United States or (b)(1) a majority of our executive officers or directors may not be U.S. citizens or residents, (2) more than 50% of our assets cannot be located in the United States and (3) our business must be administered principally outside the United States. If we lose this status, we would be required to comply with the Exchange Act reporting and other requirements applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, which are more detailed and extensive than the requirements for foreign private issuers. We may also be required to make changes in our corporate governance practices in accordance with various SEC and Nasdaq rules. The regulatory and compliance costs to us under U.S. securities laws if we are required to comply with the reporting requirements applicable to a U.S. domestic issuer may be significantly higher than the costs we will incur as a foreign private issuer.

Our shareholders may face difficulties in protecting their interests because we are a Cayman Islands exempted company.

Our corporate affairs will be governed by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. We will also be subject to the federal securities laws of the United States. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors to us under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under Cayman Islands law are different from what they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and certain states, such as Delaware, may have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law.

While Cayman Islands law allows a dissenting shareholder to express the shareholder’s view that a court sanctioned reorganization of a Cayman Islands company would not provide fair value for the shareholder’s shares, Cayman Islands statutory law does not specifically provide for shareholder appraisal rights in connection with a merger or consolidation of a company that takes place by way of a scheme of arrangement. This may make it more difficult for you to assess the value of any consideration you may receive in a merger or consolidation that takes place by way of a court approved scheme of arrangement or to require that the acquirer gives you additional consideration if you believe the consideration offered is insufficient. However, Cayman Islands statutory law provides a mechanism for a dissenting shareholder in a merger or consolidation that does not take place by way of a scheme of arrangement to apply to the Grand Court for a determination of the fair value of the dissenter’s shares if it is not possible for the company and the dissenter to agree on a fair price within the time limits prescribed.

Shareholders of Cayman Islands exempted companies have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect corporate records and accounts or to obtain copies of lists of shareholders. Our directors have discretion under our Articles of Association to determine whether or not, and under what conditions, our corporate records may be inspected by our shareholders, but are not obliged to make them available to our

TABLE OF CONTENTS

shareholders. This may make it more difficult for you to obtain information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.

Subject to limited exceptions, under Cayman Islands’ law, a minority shareholder may not bring a derivative action against the board of directors. Our Cayman Islands counsel is not aware of any reported class actions having been brought in a Cayman Islands court.

United States civil liabilities and certain judgments obtained against us by our shareholders may not be enforceable.

We are a Cayman Islands exempted company and substantially all of our assets are located outside of the United States. In addition, the majority of our directors and officers are nationals and residents of countries other than the United States. A substantial portion of the assets of these persons is located outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons. It may also be difficult to enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us and our officers and directors who are not resident in the United States and the substantial majority of whose assets are located outside of the United States.

Further, we have been advised by our Cayman Islands legal counsel, Maples and Calder, that the courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (i) to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any State; and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against us predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any State, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive and for a liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, and or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). A Cayman Islands Court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, may cease to act as depositary and transfer agent for our Class A common shares.

DTC will have the discretion to cease to act as depositary and clearing agent for our Class A common shares. If DTC determines at any time that our Class A common shares are not eligible for continued deposit and clearance within their facilities, then we believe the Class A common shares would not be eligible for continued listing on the Nasdaq and trading of our Class A common shares would be disrupted. While we would pursue alternative arrangements to maintain the listing and trading, any such disruption could result in a material adverse effect on the trading price of our Class A common shares.

Judgments of Brazilian courts to enforce our obligations with respect to our Class A common shares may be payable only in reais. The exchange rate in force at the time may not offer non-Brazilian investors full compensation for any claim arising from our obligations.

Most of our assets are currently located in Brazil. If proceedings are brought in the courts of Brazil seeking to enforce our obligations in respect of our Class A common shares, we may not be required to discharge our obligations in a currency other than the real. Under Brazilian exchange control laws, an obligation in Brazil to pay amounts denominated in a currency other than the real may only be satisfied in Brazilian currency at the exchange rate, as determined by the Central Bank, in effect on the date the judgment is obtained, and such amounts are then adjusted to reflect exchange rate variations through the effective

TABLE OF CONTENTS

payment date. The then prevailing exchange rate may not afford non-Brazilian investors with full compensation for any claim arising out of or related to our obligations under the Class A common shares.

Our Class A common shares may not be a suitable investment for all investors, as investment in our Class A common shares presents risks and the possibility of financial losses.

The investment in our Class A common shares is subject to risks. Investors who wish to invest in our Class A common shares are thus subject to asset losses, including loss of the entire value of their investment, as well as other risks, including those related to our Class A common shares, us, the sector in which we operate, our shareholder structure and the general macroeconomic environment in Brazil, among other risks.

Each potential investor in our Class A common shares must therefore determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each potential investor should:

•

have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of our Class A common shares, the merits and risks of investing in our Class A common shares and the information contained in this prospectus;

•

have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its particular financial situation, an investment in our Class A common shares and the impact our Class A common shares will have on its overall investment portfolio;

•

have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in our Class A common shares;

•

understand thoroughly the terms of our Class A common shares and be familiar with the behavior of any relevant indices and financial markets; and

•

be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks.

The Cayman Islands Economic Substance Law may affect our operations.

The Cayman Islands has enacted the International Tax Co-operation (Economic Substance) Act (as revised), or the Cayman Economic Substance Law. We are required to comply with the Cayman Economic Substance Law. As we are a Cayman Islands company, compliance obligations include filing annual notifications for us, which need to state whether we are carrying out any relevant activities and, if so, whether we have satisfied economic substance tests to the extent required under the Cayman Economic Substance Law. As it is a relatively new regime, it is anticipated that the Cayman Economic Substance Law will evolve and be subject to further clarification and amendments. We may need to allocate additional resources to keep updated with these developments, and may have to make changes to our operations in order to comply with all requirements under the Cayman Economic Substance Law. Failure to satisfy these requirements may subject us to penalties under the Cayman Economic Substance Law.

The Cayman Islands Tax Information Authority shall impose a penalty of CI$10,000 (or US$12,500) on a relevant entity for failing to satisfy the economic substance test or CI$100,000 (or US$125,000) if it is not satisfied in the subsequent financial year after the initial notice of failure. Following failure after two consecutive years the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands may make an order requiring the relevant entity to take specified action to satisfy the economic substance test or ordering it that it is defunct or be struck off.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds from our issuance and sale of 12,909,091 Class A common shares in this offering will be approximately (1) US$195.3 million (or approximately US$183.3 million after deducting cash-based payment bonuses expected to be made to certain of our officers and employees as a result of the consummation of this offering), or (2) US$225.0 million if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional Class A common shares (or approximately US$212.3 million after deducting cash-based payment bonuses expected to be made to certain of our officers and employees as a result of the consummation of this offering), in each case, assuming an initial public offering price of US$16.50 per Class A common share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

Each US$1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of US$16.50 per Class A common share would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering by approximately US$12.8 million, assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions, estimated offering expenses payable by us and cash-based payment bonuses expected to be made to certain of our officers and employees as a result of the consummation of this offering. Each increase (decrease) of 1.0 million in the number of Class A common shares we are offering would increase (decrease) the net proceeds to us from this offering, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions, estimated offering expenses payable by us and cash-based payment bonuses expected to be made to certain of our officers and employees as a result of the consummation of this offering, by approximately US$15.0 million, assuming the assumed initial public offering price stays the same.

We believe that the offering will provide additional capital to support the development and growth of our business. The principal purposes of this offering are to increase our capitalization, provide us with greater financial flexibility, create a public market for our Class A common shares and facilitate our future access to the capital markets. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering in the following order of importance:

•

First: payment of the consideration payable in cash to acquire D1. We plan to allocate US$57 million (equivalent to R$310 million using the Central Bank selling exchange rate of R$5.4087 per U.S.dollar published on May 3, 2021) from the proceeds for such purposes. For further information about the D1 acquisition, see “Presentation of Financial and Other Information — D1 Acquisition, Sirena Acquisition and Related Financial Statements.”

•

For any remaining net proceeds: general corporate purposes, which may include investments for the development of software, products or technologies, investments in the international expansion of our operations, funding other opportunistic mergers, acquisitions or investments in complementary businesses, and maintaining liquidity.

We will have broad discretion in allocating this portion of the net proceeds from this offering.

Although we currently anticipate that we will use the net proceeds from this offering as described above, there may be circumstances where a reallocation of funds is necessary. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including the factors described under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus. Accordingly, our management will have flexibility in applying the net proceeds from this offering. An investor will not have the opportunity to evaluate the economic, financial or other information on which we base our decisions on how to use the net proceeds.

Pending the determination of the net proceeds from this offering, we intend to invest them in a variety of capital preservation investments, including short-term, interest-bearing instruments and government securities.

The amount of any dividends will depend on many factors, such as our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, prospects and other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors. We currently intend to retain all available funds and future earnings, if any, to fund the development and expansion of our business and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on various factors, including applicable laws, our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects and any other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.

As a holding company, our ability to pay dividends depends on our receipt of cash dividends from our operating subsidiaries, which may further restrict our ability to pay dividends as a result of their respective jurisdictions of incorporation (including imposing legal restrictions on dividend distribution by subsidiaries), agreements of our subsidiaries or covenants under future indebtedness that we or they may incur. Our ability to pay dividends is therefore directly related to positive and distributable net results from our subsidiaries. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry — Our holding company structure makes us dependent on the operations of our subsidiaries.”

Certain Cayman Islands Legal Requirements Related to Dividends

Under the Companies Act and our Articles of Association, a Cayman Islands company may pay a dividend out of either its profit or share premium account, but a dividend may not be paid if this would result in the company being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. According to our Articles of Association, dividends can be declared and paid out of funds lawfully available to us, which include the share premium account. Dividends, if any, would be paid in proportion to the number of common shares a shareholder holds. For further information, see “Taxation — Cayman Islands Tax Considerations.”

CAPITALIZATION

The table below sets forth our (i) current and non-current loans and borrowings, (ii) total equity and (iii) total capitalization (defined as the sum of current and non-current loans and borrowing plus total equity) as of December 31, 2020, derived from our consolidated financial statements as follows:

•

on an as historical reported basis;

•

as adjusted to give effect to (i) the contribution of Zenvia Brazil to Zenvia Inc. by the shareholders of Zenvia Brazil (the contribution will be accounted for at historical book value, in return for new Class B and new class A common shares issued by Zenvia Inc. in a one-to-five exchange for the shares of Zenvia Brazil contributed to us) and (ii) the issuance and sale of 12,909,091 Class A common shares by us in this offering at the initial public offering price of US$16.50 per Class A common share (the midpoint of the estimated offering price per Class A common share set forth on the cover page of this prospectus translated into real using the selling exchange rate of R$5.4087 per US$1.00, as reported by the Central Bank as of May 3, 2021), assuming no exercise of the option by the underwriters to purchase additional Class A common shares, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, estimated offering expenses payable by us, and cash-based payment bonuses expected to be made to certain of our officers and employees as a result of the consummation of this offering (expected to amount to R$64,969 thousand (equivalent to US$12,012 thousand, using the Central Bank above referred selling exchange rate). Our total capitalization may be different in the event that we do not allocate the net proceeds of this offering in accordance with the assumption set forth under “Use of Proceeds;” and

•

as further adjusted to give pro forma effect to the consummation of our acquisition of D1 as if it had occurred on December 31, 2020, including the issuance of class A common shares to certain D1 shareholders upon consummation of the D1 Acquisition. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information.” We expect that the consummation of the D1 Acquisition (based on D1’s historical consolidated financial statements as of and for December 31, 2020) will impact our loans and borrowings, current by R$3,179 thousand, loans and borrowings, non-current by R$8,291 thousand and total equity by R$140,423 thousand.

The table below does not give effect to the de minimis share consideration still payable to Sirena shareholders. See “Presentation of Financial and Other Information — D1 Acquisition, Sirena Acquisition and Related Financial Statements.”

You should read this table in conjunction with “Use of Proceeds,” “Selected Financial and Other Information,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” our consolidated financial statements and our unaudited pro forma condensed financial information included elsewhere in this prospectus. Our capitalization following the closing of the offering will be adjusted based on the actual initial offering price and other terms of the offering determined at pricing.

Calculated as the sum of the total equity of Zenvia Brazil, as Reported (amounting to R$115,348 thousand) plus the receipt of approximately R$990,853 thousand in net proceeds from this offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us and cash-based payment bonuses expected to be made to certain of our officers and employees as a result of the consummation of this offering.

An increase or reduction of US$1.00 in the assumed initial public offering price of US$16.50 per Class A common shares, which is the midpoint of the price range indicated on the cover page of this prospectus, would, after the completion of this offering, increase (decrease) (1) the value of our total equity by US$36.7 million, and (2) our total capitalization by US$12.8 million, assuming that the number of Class A common shares offered herein, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and assuming no exercise of the option to purchase additional Class A common shares, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us and cash-based payment bonuses expected to be made to certain of our officers and employees as a result of the consummation of this offering.

An increase (decrease) of 1.0 million shares in the number of Class A common shares sold in this offering by us would increase (decrease) (1) the value of our total equity by US$15.0 million, and (2) our total capitalization by US$15.0 million, assuming an initial public offering price of US$16.50 per Class A common shares, the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions, the estimated offering expenses payable by us and cash-based payment bonuses expected to be made to certain of our officers and employees as a result of the consummation of this offering.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DILUTION

Prior to the consummation of this offering, all of our shareholders will contribute all of their shares in Zenvia Brazil to us. In return for this contribution, we will issue in aggregate 23,708,300 new Class B common shares to Bobsin LLC, Oria Zenvia Co-investment Holdings, LP, Oria Zenvia Co-investment Holdings II, LP, Oria Tech Zenvia Co-investment — Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia and Oria Tech I Inovação Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia and in aggregate new 199,710 Class A common shares to Spectra I Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia Investimento No Exterior and Spectra II Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia Investimento No Exterior, in each case in a one‑to-five exchange for the shares of Zenvia Brazil contributed to us. Immediately prior to this initial public offering and after the share exchange, Bobsin LLC, Oria Zenvia Co-investment Holdings, LP, Oria Zenvia Co-investment Holdings II, LP, Oria Tech Zenvia Co-investment — Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia, Oria Tech I Inovação Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia, Spectra I Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia Investimento No Exterior and Spectra II Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia Investimento No Exterior will hold all of our issued and outstanding shares, and we will hold all of the issued and outstanding shares in Zenvia Brazil.

We have presented the dilution calculation below on the basis of Zenvia Brazil’s net tangible book value as of December 31, 2020 (and giving pro forma effect to the consummation of the D1 Acquisition as if it had occurred on December 31, 2020, including the issuance of our class A common shares to certain D1 shareholders upon consummation of the D1 Acquisition) because until the one-to-five contribution of Zenvia Brazil shares to it, Zenvia Inc. will not have commenced operations and will have only nominal assets and liabilities and no material contingent liabilities or commitments.

As of December 31, 2020, Zenvia Brazil had a net tangible book deficit of R$166.1 million, corresponding to a net tangible book deficit of R$6.95 per common share prior to this offering (after giving effect to the one-to-five contribution related to the Corporate Reorganization). Net tangible book value (deficit) per common share represents the amount of total assets (excluding goodwill and other intangible assets) less total liabilities, divided by 23,908,010, the total number of Zenvia Inc. common shares outstanding as of December 31, 2020 (after giving effect to the one-to-five contribution related to the Corporate Reorganization).

After giving effect to (1) the D1 Acquisition as if it had been consummated on December 31, 2020, (2) the receipt by us of the net proceeds from this offering and (3) cash-based payment bonuses and equity grants expected to be made to certain of our officers and employees as a result of the consummation of this offering, our pro forma net tangible book value at December 31, 2020 would have been R$192.7 million, representing R$5.02 per common share. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information.” This represents an immediate change in net tangible book value of R$358.9 million, and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of R$84.2, or 94.37%, per common share to new investors purchasing Class A common shares in this offering. Dilution for this purpose represents the difference between the price per common shares paid by these investors and net tangible book value per common share immediately after the completion of the offering (and after giving effect to the D1 Acquisition).

Assuming the underwriters’ option to purchase additional Class A common shares is exercised in full, our pro forma net tangible book value as of December 31, 2020 would have been R$350.0 million, representing R$8.69 per common share. This represents an immediate change in net tangible book value of R$516.1 million, and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of R$80.6, or 90.27%, per common share to new investors purchasing Class A common shares in this offering.

If you invest in our Class A common shares, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price per Class A common share and the pro forma net tangible book deficit per Class A common share which accounts for the issuance and sale of new Class A common shares in this offering after giving effect to the D1 Acquisition).

Because our Class A common shares and Class B common shares have the same dividend and other rights, except for voting, conversion, pre-emptive rights and transfer restrictions, we have counted the Class A common shares and Class B common shares equally for purposes of the dilution calculations below.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The following table illustrates this dilution to new investors purchasing Class A common shares in the offering assuming either no exercise or full exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional Class A common shares.

	No Exercise			Full Exercise
	R$ (except as otherwise indicated)
Assumed initial public offering price per Class A common shares(1)		US$	16.50		US$	16.50

Net tangible book value per common share at December 31, 2020 (giving pro forma effect to the Contribution, the completion of this offering and the consummation of the D1 Acquisition as if it had occurred on December 31, 2020)			5.02			8.69
Dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per common share attributable to new shareholders(3)			84.2			80.6

Corresponds to the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.

Represents US$16.50 as translated into real using the selling exchange rate of R$5.4087 per US$1.00, as reported by the Central Bank as of May 3, 2021.

Dilution represents the difference between the offering price per common share paid by new shareholders and the pro forma net tangible book value per common share immediately after giving effect to this offering (and the consummation of the D1 Acquisition).

The actual offering price per Class A common share is not based on the pro forma net tangible book value (deficit) of our common shares, but will be established based through a book building process.

The dilution table above does not give effect to the de minimis share consideration still payable to Sirena shareholders. See “Presentation of Financial and Other Information — D1 Acquisition, Sirena Acquisition and Related Financial Statements.”

The following table summarizes, on the same pro forma basis at December 31, 2020, the number of common shares acquired from us, the total cash consideration paid and the average price per common share paid to us by our current shareholders and by new investors purchasing Class A common shares in this offering. As the table shows, new investors purchasing shares in this offering will pay an average price per common share substantially higher than our pre-IPO shareholders paid. This information is based on the assumed initial public offering price of US$16.50 per Class A common share (which is the midpoint of the price range per common share set forth on the cover page of this prospectus), before deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us in connection with this offering, and assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional Class A common shares.

	Common Shares Purchased				Total Consideration				Average Price per Common Share (US$)
	Amount		Percentage of Total Common Shares (%)		Amount (US$ million)		Percentage (%)		Average Price per Common Share (US$)
Current shareholders		23,908,010		64.9		51.9(1)		19.7		2.17
New investors		12,909,091		35.1		213.0		80.4		16.50
Total		36,817,101		100.0		264.9		100.0		7.19

(1)

If the underwriters were to fully exercise their option to purchase 1,936,364 additional Class A common shares, the total consideration paid by new shareholders and the average price per common share paid by new shareholders would be US$245.0 million and US$16.50 per common share, respectively, and the percentage of common shares purchased by new shareholder would be 38.31%.

EXCHANGE RATES

The Brazilian foreign exchange system allows the purchase and sale of foreign currency and the international transfer of reais by any person or legal entity, regardless of the amount, subject to certain regulatory procedures.

The real depreciated against the U.S. dollar from mid-2011 to early 2016. In particular, during 2015, due to the poor economic conditions in Brazil, including as a result of political instability, the real depreciated at a rate that was much higher than in previous years. Overall in 2015, the real depreciated 47.0%, reaching R$3.905 per US$1.00 on December 31, 2015. In 2016, the real recovered significantly, appreciating 16.5% to R$3.259 per US$1.00 on December 31, 2016. In 2017, the real depreciated 1.5% against the U.S. dollar, ending the year at an exchange rate of R$3.308 per US$1.00. In 2018, due to the inherent political instability of the election period, the real/U.S. dollar exchange rate reported by the Central Bank was R$3.875 per US$1.00, which reflected a 17.1% depreciation in the real against the U.S. dollar. As of December 31, 2019, the real/U.S. dollar exchange rate reported by the Central Bank was R$4.031 per US$1.00. Recently, due to the COVID-19 and the economic and political instability, the real depreciated 47.2% against the U.S. dollar since December 31, 2019, and reached R$5.937 per US$1.00 as of May 14, 2020, its lowest level since the introduction of the currency in 1994. The exchange rate reported by the Central Bank was R$5.1967 per US$1.00 on December 31, 2020. As of May 3, 2021, the exchange rate reported by the Central Bank was R$5.4087 per US$1.00. The Central Bank has intervened occasionally in the foreign exchange market to attempt to control instability in foreign exchange rates. We cannot predict whether the Central Bank or the Brazilian government will continue to allow the real to float freely or will intervene in the exchange rate market by re-implementing a currency band system or otherwise. The real may depreciate or appreciate substantially against the U.S. dollar in the future. Furthermore, Brazilian law provides that, whenever there is a serious imbalance in Brazil’s balance of payments or there are substantial reasons to foresee a significant imbalance, temporary restrictions may be imposed on remittances of foreign capital abroad. We cannot assure you that the Brazilian government will not place restrictions on remittances of foreign capital abroad in the future.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high, low, average and period-end exchange rates for the purchase of U.S. dollars expressed in Brazilian reais per U.S. dollar. The average rate is calculated by using the average of reported exchange rates by the Central Bank on each day during a monthly or yearly period.

Set forth below are our (1) unaudited pro forma condensed statements of financial position as of December 31, 2020 and (2) our unaudited pro forma condensed statements of profit of loss for the year ended December 31, 2020. For further information, see below and “Presentation of Financial and Other Information — D1 Acquisition, Sirena Acquisition and Related Financial Statements.”

The unaudited pro forma condensed statement of profit or loss for the year December 31, 2020 is based on (a) the historical audited consolidated statement of profit or loss of Zenvia Brazil for the year ended December 31, 2020, which is included in this prospectus, (b) the historical audited statement of profit or loss of D1 for the year ended December 31, 2020, (c) the historical audited consolidated statement of profit or loss of Smarkio for the period of eleven months ended November 30, 2020 (which was acquired by D1), (d) the historical statement of profit or loss of Sirena, for the period from January 1 to July 23, 2020, and gives effect on a pro forma basis to (1) the D1 Acquisition and the Sirena Acquisition as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2020, (2) cash-based payment bonuses and equity grants expected to be made to certain of our officers and employees as a result of the consummation of this offering in our unaudited pro forma condensed statements of profit or loss and (3) the issuance of Class A common shares in this offering in our earnings per share.

The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information included herein was prepared in accordance with requirements of Article 11 of Regulation S-X, considering the amendment to improve the financial disclosures that are effective on January 1, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information included herein are not necessarily indicative of what our combined financial position or statement of profit or loss, would have been if the D1 Acquisition and Sirena Acquisition had been completed as of the dates indicated, nor do they purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the combined company. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors. The pro forma financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not reflect the costs of any integration activities or cost savings or synergies that may be achieved as a result of the D1 Acquisition and the Sirena Acquisition.

The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the following:

•

accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information;

•

historical audited consolidated financial statements of Zenvia Brazil for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, included elsewhere in this prospectus;

The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information included herein has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting under IFRS. The following unaudited pro forma condensed financial information gives pro forma effect to the D1 Acquisition and the Sirena Acquisition to be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the IFRS 3, Business Combinations, or IFRS 3, in which Zenvia Brazil is treated as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes, and shall record assets

acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective acquisition date at fair values. The excess of the total consideration transferred over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired, if applicable, will be recorded as goodwill. The D1 Acquisition accounting is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have yet to progress to a future stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. The actual results of these studies may depend in part on prevailing market information and conditions. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments related to the D1 Acquisition are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed financial information. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting may occur and these differences may have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed financial information and our future results of operations and financial position. See “Risk Factors—Certain Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry—The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information included in this prospectus may not be indicative of our consolidated financial condition or results of operations after giving effect to the Sirena Acquisition and the D1 Acquisition.”

Notes to the Unaudited Pro forma Condensed Financial Information

Basis of Presentation of the Unaudited Pro forma Condensed Financial Information

The unaudited pro forma condensed statement of financial position as of December 31, 2020 is based on (a) the historical audited consolidated statement of financial position of Zenvia Brazil which is included in this prospectus, and (b) the historical audited consolidated statement of financial position of D1, also included in this prospectus, and gives effect on a pro forma basis to (1) the D1 Acquisition as if it had been consummated on December 31, 2020, (2) the receipt by us of the net proceeds from this offering and (3) cash-based payment bonuses and equity grants expected to be made to certain of our officers and employees as a result of the consummation of this offering. The unaudited pro forma condensed statement of profit or loss as of December 31, 2020 is based on the historical consolidated statement of profit or loss of Zenvia Brazil for the year ended December 31, 2020, which is included in this prospectus, and on the historical audited consolidated statement of profit or loss of D1 for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the historical audited statement of profit or loss of Smarkio for the period of eleven months ended November 30, 2020, and the historical statement of profit or loss of Sirena, for the period from January 1 to July 23, 2020, and gives effect on a pro forma basis to (1) the D1 Acquisition and the Sirena Acquisition as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2020, (2) cash-based payment bonuses and equity grants expected to be made to certain of our officers and employees as a result of the consummation of this offering and (3) the issuance of Class A common shares in this offering in our earnings per share.

The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with IFRS 3. IFRS 3 requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of their respective acquisition dates. The excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired, if applicable, will be recorded as goodwill. Fair value measurements can be highly subjective and it is possible that other professionals, applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances, could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts.

Acquisition costs related to the D1 and Sirena acquisition costs (i.e., advisory, legal, valuation, and other professional fees) are not included as a component of the consideration transferred but are accounted for as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred. All of these transactions costs related to the D1 and Sirena Acquisition were recognized as expenses in statement of profit or loss in the year ended December 31, 2020, and no pro forma adjustments were recognized related to these costs since they were already recorded in Zenvia Brazil’s historical audited financial statements of profit or loss as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information does not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies or revenue enhancements that Zenvia Brazil may achieve as a result of the D1 and Sirena acquisition or the costs to integrate our operations.

Historical Financial Information of D1, Smarkio and Sirena

The historical consolidated financial information of D1 and the historical financial information of Smarkio have been prepared under IFRS and presented in thousands of R$. The amounts reported under the column “Historical D1” and “Historical Smarkio” derive from the historical audited consolidated financial statements of D1 and the historical audited financial statements of Smarkio, respectively. The financial information of Smarkio is being included in the pro forma statement of profit or loss because its omission would render D1’s financial statements to be substantially incomplete.

The historical financial information of Sirena has been prepared under IFRS and presented in US$. The amounts reported under the column “Historical Sirena” derive from Sirena’s historical financial statements have been translated into reais, which is Zenvia Brazil’s functional and presentation currency, using the exchange rates described below:

•

Items from the statement of profit or loss derived from the historical financial statements of Sirena for the period from January 1 to July 23, 2020, have been translated to reais using the weighted-average exchange rate of R$4.9694 per US$1.00, as follows:

Pro Forma Assumptions

The preliminary total consideration expected to be transferred, related to the D1 Acquisition, has been used to prepare pro forma adjustments in the pro forma statement of financial position. The D1 Acquisition has not closed to date and its effectiveness is subject to the completion of our initial public offering, which is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2021, and also dependent upon certain metrics that have yet to progress to a future stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. The actual results of these assumptions depend in part on prevailing market information and conditions, and are based on financial information that are not available, and could impact the fair market value of the total consideration expected to be transferred, as follows:

•

D1, Smarkio and Zenvia last twelve months (LTM) gross profit ending in March 31, 2021;

•

D1 and Zenvia net debt as of March 31, 2021; and

•

Zenvia Brazil’s consolidated net debt as of March 31, 2021 (already giving effect to the D1 Acquisition and the Sirena Acquisition).

Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting may occur and these differences may have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed financial information and the company’s future results of operations and financial position. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed financial information.

The final consideration transferred will be determined when Zenvia completes the detailed valuations and necessary calculations, expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2021, and its final measurement could impact goodwill, total cash to be transferred and contingent consideration. The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions and, therefore, the actual calculations will differ from the pro forma adjustments.

3.1

Estimate of Consideration Expected to be Transferred and Total Consideration Transferred

Pending D1 Acquisition

In March 2021, Zenvia Brazil entered into certain purchase agreements for the direct and indirect acquisition of 100% of the share capital of D1. Under the terms of these purchase agreements and as part of the consideration, on the closing date, (1) Zenvia Brazil will contribute R$40 million in cash into D1;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(2) Zenvia Brazil will pay to D1 shareholders an amount which we currently estimate to be R$270 million, which will be based on a valuation of 13 (thirteen) times D1’s and Smarkio’s combined gross profit for the last twelve months (LTM) ending on March 31, 2021 (historical results) minus D1 net debt as of the same date and adjusted by working capital; and (3) we will deliver a certain number of our Class A common shares to certain D1 shareholders, equivalent to an amount which we currently estimate to correspond to R$139 million, that will be calculated based on the valuation of 13 (thirteen) times D1’s and Smarkio’s combined gross profit for the last twelve months (LTM) ending on March 31, 2021 (historical results) minus D1 net debt as of the same date and adjusted by working capital, divided by 13 (thirteen) times Zenvia Brazil’s consolidated gross profit last twelve months (LTM) (after giving effect to the D1 Acquisition and the Sirena Acquisition) ending on March 31, 2021 (historical results) minus Zenvia Brazil’s consolidated net debt (after giving effect to D1 Acquisition and the Sirena Acquisition) as of the same date. The estimated number of Class A common shares to be delivered is based on our valuation considering the estimated share price in this offering, giving effect to the D1 acquisition, and based on the metrics required in the acquisition agreement. We expect to deliver approximately 1,566,589 Class A common shares to D1 shareholders in connection with the above. Additionally, as further consideration for the D1 Acquisition, we have also agreed to pay amounts to certain D1 shareholders which we currently estimate to be (i) R$57 million in the first quarter of 2022; and (ii) R$174 million in the first quarter of 2023, based on a certain multiple times D1’s gross profit for the last twelve months (LTM) ending on March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, respectively. The arrangement has a range of multiples, which could vary from 7x to 13x gross profit, depending on the achievement of certain gross profit milestones for the relevant periods, and therefore a reasonable change in these estimates would impact the consideration to be transferred.

As a guarantee of payment of such amounts, we will pledge a certain number of shares corresponding to 50% + 1 share of D1’s total equity stake as collateral in favor of the aforementioned D1 shareholders. This guarantee will be effective as of the date of consummation of the D1 Acquisition and will be released upon payment of the last installment due to such D1 shareholders.

Sirena Acquisition

On July 24, 2020, Zenvia Brazil entered into a certain share purchase and sale agreement to purchase 100% of Sirena. As consideration for the Sirena Acquisition, Zenvia Brazil (i) made an upfront cash payment of US$10,923 thousand (amounting to R$56,961 thousand using the Central Bank selling exchange rate published on July 24, 2020) on closing date, and US$392 thousand (R$2,045 thousand using the Central Bank

TABLE OF CONTENTS

selling exchange rate published on January 24, 2021) which was paid on January 24, 2021, to Sirena shareholders; and (ii) assuming the consummation of this offering, we will deliver a certain number of our Class A common shares to Sirena shareholders, corresponding to an equity interest calculated based on a percentage of the upfront payment made by Zenvia Brazil divided by an established valuation of Zenvia set forth in the acquisition agreement governing the Sirena Acquisition. Zenvia Brazil’s valuation for this purpose will be based on Zenvia Brazil’s gross margin minus Zenvia’s net debt as of December 31, 2020. Based on our preliminary estimate, we expect to deliver approximately 89,131 Class A common shares, equivalent to R$4,510 thousand, to these Sirena shareholders in connection with the above. The estimated number of Class A common shares to be delivered is based on our valuation and the number of Zenvia Inc. shares prior to our initial public offering, giving effect to the Sirena Acquisition, and based on the metrics required in the acquisition agreement for this transaction.

This acquisition is in line with our strategy to expand into other Latin American regions. The transaction was consummated on July 24, 2020, and Zenvia Brazil began to consolidate Sirena’s results of operations as of that date.

The following table presents the estimated consideration expected to be transferred, related to the D1 Acquisition, and the total consideration transferred related to the Sirena Acquisition, at fair value:

	D1		Sirena
	(in thousands of R$)
Contribution in Cash(1)		40,000		—
Cash Payment(1)		269,537(4)		59,006

Consideration Transferred and Expected to be Transferred		680,107		127,796

(1)

Considers the total current cash payment related to the D1 Acquisition amounting to R$309,537 thousand, and also considers that prior to the consummation of the D1 Acquisition, D1 is required as a precedent condition to pay to Smarkio’s shareholders the total outstanding consideration payable in connection with Smarkio’s acquisition, amounting R$61,464 thousand. Pro forma assumes that the acquisition of Smarkio has already occurred and we reflected the estimated consideration paid in cash and the payment of the Smarkio acquisition, as a reduction of cash and cash equivalents in the unaudited pro forma condensed statement of financial position as of December 31, 2020.

(2)

D1 acquisition agreements state that part of the total payment will be made with our Class A common shares. We expect to deliver approximately 1,566,589 Class A common shares, considering a midpoint estimated price range of US$16.50 per Class A common share (R$89 using the Central Bank selling exchange rate of R$5.4087 per U.S. dollar published on May 3, 2021), to D1 shareholders in connection with the above, assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same. Each US$1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of US$16.50 per Class A common share would increase (decrease) the number of Class A common shares we expect to deliver to D1 shareholders by approximately 101,126 Class A common shares. Each increase (decrease) of 1.0 million in the number of Class A common shares we are offering, would increase (decrease) the number of Class A common shares we expect to deliver to D1 shareholders by approximately 15,611 Class A common shares.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(3)

The total contingent consideration was presented as non-current liability in the total amount of R$231,100 thousand in the unaudited pro forma condensed statement of financial position as of December 31, 2020. For measurement of the contingent consideration see paragraphs below.

(4)

The cash payment of R$269,537 thousand is based on our preliminary estimate which was calculated based on a valuation of 13 (thirteen) times D1’s and Smarkio’s gross profit for the last twelve months (LTM) ending on March 31, 2021 (historical results) minus D1 net debt as of the same date and adjusted by working capital. D1 financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not yet finalized. This estimated information reflects its preliminary results for this period. As a result, D1 and Smarkio combined gross profit for the last twelve months (LTM) ending on March 31, 2021 is expected to be between R$33,809 thousand and R$46,689 thousand. If the final D1’s and Smarkio’s combined gross profit for the last twelve months (LTM) ending on March 31, 2021 (historical results) were R$33,809 thousand, the cash payment would be R$207,360 thousand and goodwill would be R$520,935 thousand, and if the final D1’s and Smarkio’s combined gross profit for the last twelve months (LTM) ending on March 31, 2021 (historical results) were R$46,689 thousand, the cash payment would be R$308,223 thousand and goodwill would be R$682,211 thousand.

(5)

Sirena’s acquisition agreement stated that a fixed amount of US$865 thousand (R$4,510 thousand) can be settled in cash or shares. Assuming the consummation of this offering, we will deliver a certain number of our Class A common shares to Sirena shareholders, corresponding to an equity interest calculation based on a percentage of the upfront payment made by Zenvia Brazil divided by an established valuation of Zenvia set forth in the acquisition agreement governing the Sirena Acquisition. Zenvia Brazil’s valuation for this purpose will be based on Zenvia Brazil’s gross profit minus Zenvia’s net debt as of December 31, 2020. Based on our preliminary estimate, we expect to deliver approximately 89,131 Class A common shares, equivalent to R$4,510 thousand, considering a midpoint estimated price range of US$16.50 per Class A common share (R$89 using the Central Bank selling exchange rate of R$5.4087 per U.S. dollar published on May 3, 2021), to these Sirena shareholders in connection with the above. The estimated number of shares to be delivered is based on our valuation and the number of Zenvia Inc. shares prior to our initial public offering, giving effect to the Sirena Acquisition, and based on the metrics required in the acquisition agreement for this transaction. Since the unaudited pro forma condensed statement of financial position as of December 31, 2020 only requires the presentation of pro forma for D1’s probable acquisition, we have not reclassified this amount to equity in the unaudited pro forma condensed statement of financial position as of December 31, 2020.

The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration (D1Acquisition), currently estimated of R$231,100 thousand, was measured, as described in the acquisitions agreements, based on a certain multiple times D1’s gross profit for the last twelve months (LTM) ending on March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, respectively, minus net debt at the same date. Such multiple will vary (from 7x to 13x gross profit) depending on the achievement of certain gross profit milestones for the relevant periods.

Considering that contingent consideration is based on future results, and its dependent on the gross profit and net debt, and applicable multiple, a reasonable change in the assumptions of multiples or LTM gross profit could materially impact the contingent consideration expected to be transferred (D1 Acquisition). The table below presents an estimate of which could be the contingent consideration depending on the variance of these metrics:

Gross profit - multiple estimate	7 x Gross Profit		11.24 x Gross Profit		Current fair value estimation (13 x Gross Profit – 100%)		>13 x Gross Profit(1)
D1 Acquisition		—		—		—		—	—
Earnout – 2022		14,073		35,187		57,019		70,708	71,762
Earnout – 2023		43,707		118,515		174,081		209,868	241,480
Total contingent consideration		57,780		153,702		231,100		280,576	313,242

(1)

If the multiple exceeds 13x gross profit, then the excess of the 13x gross profit will have incremental of 10x (100%-120%) or 9x (120% and 150%).

3.2

Fair value of assets and liabilities

We performed a preliminary valuation analysis of the fair market value of D1 assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed. This preliminary purchase price allocation has been used to prepare pro forma transaction accounting adjustments in the unaudited pro forma statement of profit or loss. The final purchase price allocation will be determined when we complete the detailed valuations and necessary calculations. The final measurement could differ materially from the preliminary measurement used in the pro forma adjustments. The final measurement may include (1) changes in the measurement of goodwill and (2) changes in the fair value of intangible assets. We have estimated the fair value to such assets and liabilities, based on available information and certain estimates and assumptions and, therefore, the actual effects of these

transactions may differ from pro forma transaction accounting adjustments. The following table summarizes the fair value of assets acquired (Sirena Acquisition) and to be acquired (D1 Acquisition) and the liabilities assumed (Sirena Acquisition) or expect to be assumed (D1 Acquisition):

The D1 acquisition pro forma adjustments refers to the period from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020. Since this acquisition has not been consummated to date, Zenvia Brazil has not consolidated D1 in its historical audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year December 31, 2020.

The Sirena acquisition pro forma adjustments refers to the period from January 1, 2020 July 23, 2020. Zenvia Brazil started to consolidate Sirena’s statement of profit and loss as of July 24, 2020 upon consummation of its acquisition by Zenvia Brazil.

The MPEEM methodology (Multi Period Excess Earnings Method) is mostly used to measure the value of primary assets or most important assets of a company. According to that method, in determining fair values, the cash flows attributable to all other assets are subtracted through a contributory asset charge (CAC). The MPEEM method assumes that the fair value of an intangible asset is the same as the present value of the cash flows attributable to that asset, less the contribution of other assets, both tangible and intangible ones.

Compensation to the former shareholders of Sirena

Following the Sirena acquisition, Sirena’s former shareholders that remained working with us will be subject to a compensation of up to US$5,514 thousand at acquisition date (equivalent to R$28,752 thousand using the Central Bank selling exchange rate published on the closing date) and payable in two installments (12 and 24 months following the closing date of the Sirena Acquisition). This compensation is calculated based on certain milestones of gross margins (as defined in the share purchase and sale agreement) generated by Sirena solutions, including their continued employment with us.

Zenvia Brazil recognized, as of December 31, 2020, a provision of R$8,833 thousand, for the period from July 24 to December 31, 2020, to be payable if the conditions were met. For the purpose of the unaudited

pro forma condensed information, Zenvia Brazil recognized an additional expense (proportionally calculated), in the “Administrative expenses” line item, of R$11,262 thousand for the period from January 1, 2020 to July 23, 2020.

(c)

Deferred Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes on pro forma adjustments were calculated using the statutory income tax rate in Brazil (34%) and in United States of America (21%), where Sirena is located, depending on where pro forma adjustments are reasonably expected to occur. The effective tax rate applicable to us could be significantly different (either higher or lower) depending on post-acquisition activities, including repatriation decisions, cash needs and the actual geographical mix of income.

(d) Transaction Costs

All the transactions costs related to D1 and Sirena Acquisition were recognized as expenses in Zenvia Brazil statement of profit or loss for the period ended December 31, 2020. The transactions costs with lawyers and due diligence were recognized as expenses in Zenvia Brazil’s statement of profit or loss for the year ended December 31, 2020 and amounted to R$180 thousand.

(f) Earnings/(loss) per share

Basic loss per share are calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to the owners of the Company by the weighted average of outstanding common shares. Diluted loss per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average of outstanding common shares, assuming that all potential common shares that would cause dilution are converted. Currently there is no potential common shares that would cause dilution.

The weighted average of common outstanding common shares, on pro forma adjustments, are adjusted to reflect the estimated numbers of Class A common shares that we expect to deliver to D1 and Sirena, after giving effect to the Corporate Reorganization, the D1 Acquisition and the Sirena Acquisition.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

December 31, 2020 amounted to R$8.0 million, compared to R$36.0 million and R$44.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, as we continue to invest in our platform and growth initiatives.

Principal Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations

Evolution of Our Platform

In Latin America, the access of small companies to software and technologies is very restricted. As a result, we have a good opportunity to develop solutions for them. Companies quickly change their preferences and it is difficult for software and technology service providers to offer each company’s chosen communication channel.

We believe that ongoing development and design of solutions help companies to improve their relationship with consumers through a platform designed around the customer, which in turn may contribute to their results. This approach adds value to our consumer and increases our margins. Designing an easy to use solution with a low entry price is core to this strategy.

Product and Market Leadership

We are committed to delivering market-leading products to continue to build and maintain credibility in our target markets. We believe we must maintain our product and market leadership position and the strength of our brand to drive further revenue growth. We intend to continue to invest in our engineering capabilities and marketing activities to maintain our strong position in the market. Our results of operations may fluctuate as we make these investments to drive increased customer adoption and usage.

In addition, we are designing a user journey focused on decision and conversion based on a guided journey by product, given that new acquisitions encompass current customers. We seek to accelerate our customer acquisition by managing our acquisition timeline and costs.

Expansion Strategy and Net Revenue Expansion Rate

We are focused on expanding our existing customers’ use of our products and platform. We believe that there is a significant opportunity to drive additional sales to existing customers. We expect to invest in sales, marketing, and a process to improve customer experience and our proximity to their business to obtain additional revenue growth from existing customers using up-selling and cross-selling strategies that we expect should ultimately result in improving margins over time.

Our net revenue expansion rate increases, for instance, when (a) customers increase use of a product for the same application, (b) customers increase the use of the same product to new applications, (c) customers adopt new products offered by us; (d) we raise our prices on offered products without change in usage volumes or (e) given that our the net revenue expansion rate is calculated in reais, there is a depreciation of the real vis-à-vis the currency of the countries in which we operate. Our net revenue expansion rate decreases, for instance, when (a) customers cease or reduce usage of a product, (b) we lower our prices on offered products or (c) given that our the net revenue expansion rate is calculated in reais, there is an appreciation of the real vis-à-vis the currency of the countries in which we operate.

We believe measuring our net revenue expansion rate on revenue generated from our customer provides a more meaningful indication of the performance of our efforts to increase revenue from existing customers. In order to calculate net revenue expansion, we first select the cohort of customers on a prior trailing twelve months period, sum up the total revenue of active these customers on the applicable twelve month period and divide this sum by the sum of the total revenue of these same customers for the prior trailing twelve month period.

108

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Number of Active Customers

Maintaining active customers is key to our growth strategy. Our strategy is based on acquiring a customer by a simple and low friction use case, then work with this customer to develop new use cases. In addition, we continue to improve our platform and deliver new products. As a result, our customer base is the best addressable market for our new products due to the lower customer acquisition costs and a high conversion rate, among other factors.

International Growth

Our platform can reach all countries and consumers around the world. In 2021, we expect strong growth in the Latin America market with a specific focus on the SMB segment. Expansion will be carried out through all available channels, emphasizing the self-service channel. Our portfolio has been developed with a variety of products and features to reach different clients and channels through solutions that are not always made widely available by our competitors locally and globally.

Investments at Scale

As our business grows and we continue our platform optimization efforts, we expect to achieve cost savings through economies of scale, for example optimization of cloud usage and self-service. We also use the scale to obtain lower acquisition costs with network service providers. We sometimes choose to pass our cost savings from optimizing the platform or inputs such as SMS to our customers in the form of lower usage prices seeking to increase consumption on the platform. In addition, these potential cost savings may be partially or totally offset by higher costs related to the launch of new products and our expansion into new geographies. There are situations in which we use this savings to acquire certain larger customers that we consider strategic, but which generate a lower gross margin. As a result, our gross margin may fluctuate from period to period. At the same time, we seek high growth in the small and medium-sized market where we obtain better margins.

Macroeconomic Environment

Our operations are currently located mainly in Brazil. As a result, our revenues and profitability are subject to political and economic developments and the effect that these factors have on the availability of credit, disposable income, employment rates and average wages in Brazil. Our results of operations are affected by levels of consumer spending, interest rates and the expansion or retraction of consumer credit in Brazil. For more information, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry — A significant portion of our revenue is currently concentrated on our outlier customers and an economic slowdown affecting these customers could lead to decreased demand for our products and services, which could adversely affect us” and “Risk Factors — Certain Risks Relating to Brazil.”

The inflation index generally adopted in the agreements with our network service providers is based on the IGP. In 2020, the sharp increase of the IGP-M and IGP-DI inflation indexes (indexes which contrary to the IPCA — the inflation index chosen by the Central Bank for purposes of adopting inflation-targeting measures — captures inflation recorded in certain non end-consumer economic sectors that experienced a significant rise in prices in 2020 (like commodities)) led to one of our network service providers with a significant market share in SMS messages volume to recently notify us of an approximately 28% increase in their 2021 fees. We filed a claim with ANATEL challenging the adequacy of the use of inflation indexes in agreements with network service providers that are not telecommunication sector indexes. We are taking certain measures to contractually pass on this increased cost to our customers as we also have an IGP annual adjustment provision in our contracts with customers to mitigate potential impacts, although the dates of our adjustments may differ. If such measures fail to succeed or if our claim before ANATEL does not prevail, we may have to absorb increases in our cost of services or cancel the agreements with customers

who are not willing to accept any such increase in cost.

Description of Principal Line Items

The following is a summary of the principal line items comprising consolidated statements of profit or loss.

Revenue

Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. Revenue is recognized net of deductions as discounts and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.

Our revenue is mainly derived from fees based on the usage of each of our services available on our communication platform. The use of these services is measured by the individual volume of the component used and revenues based on these volumes are recognized in the period of use.

We also have revenue from subscription-based fees that are derived from certain non-usage contracts, with pre-contracted volumes (take or pay) or with unlimited use of any component. Revenue from subscription-based contracts is recognized monthly by applying the monthly fee.

Small customers and customers who pay by credit card are billed in advance while large customers are billed under the postpaid model. Customers who pay on the prepaid model, draw down their balances as they use our products.

110

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and in revenue or customer advances depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met.

Our arrangements with customers do not provide for rights of return and our contracts do not provide customers with the right to take possession of the software supporting the applications.

For further information about our revenue, see note 4(d) to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Cost of services

Cost of services consists primarily of costs of communications services purchased from network service providers. Cost of services also include carrier messaging costs, fees to support our cloud infrastructure, personnel costs, such as salaries of employees involved in maintaining the production environment running, and non-personnel costs, such as amortization of capitalized internal-use software development costs and amortization of intangible assets acquired from business combinations. Our arrangements with network service providers require us to pay fees based on the volume of phone calls initiated or text messages, as well as the number of telephone numbers acquired by us to service our customers. Our arrangements with our cloud infrastructure provider require us to pay fees based on our server capacity consumption.

For further information about our cost of services see note 20 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Other operating (expenses) income

Our other operating (expenses) income is comprised of sales and marketing expenses, administrative expenses, research and development expenses, other income and expenses. For further information about our other operating (expenses) income, see note 22 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of expenses incurred related to the sales, advertising and marketing of our services. These expenditures mainly comprise personnel expenses for marketing and sales employees, advertising, marketing, brand management, credit card processing fees, professional service fees and allocation of general overhead expenses attributable to these purposes.

Administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses for our accounting, finance, legal, human resources, administrative, support and executives. General and administrative expenses also include costs related to business acquisitions, legal and other professional services fees, sales and other taxes, depreciation and amortization and an allocation of our general overhead expenses.

We expect administrative expenses to increase as a result of becoming a publicly traded company and compliance requirements derived from the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Public company costs include expenses associated with annual and quarterly reporting, investor relations, registrar and transfer agent fees, incremental insurance costs, accounting and legal services, and other investments to strengthen corporate governance and internal controls.

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses for engineering and product development employees, as well as outsourced engineering services and allocation of general overhead expenses attributable to these purposes. We capitalize the portion of our software development costs that meets accounting requirements.

Other income and expenses, consist primarily of one time income or expenses not attributable to other classifications.

Net finance costs

Net finance costs are comprised of finance costs and finance income. Finance costs are comprised of interest expenses and fees related to all financial obligations of the company, as well as expenses with interest and exchange rate variations and finance income is comprised of interest income on investments and

111

TABLE OF CONTENTS

interest income from overdue customers as well as positive results from interest and exchange rate variations. For further information about our net finance costs, see note 21 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Income tax and social contribution

Income and social contribution taxes comprise current and deferred taxes. Current tax relates to tax payable, estimated at the taxable income for the year. Deferred taxes are recognized in relation to temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for accounting purposes and the related amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred income and social contribution tax assets are reviewed at the date of preparation of financial statements and reduced when their realization is no longer probable.

Income tax and social contribution of the year, both current and deferred, are calculated based on the rates of 15% plus a surcharge of 10% on taxable income in excess of R$240 thousand for income tax and 9% on taxable income for social contribution on net income, and consider the offsetting of tax loss carryforward and negative basis of social contribution, limited to 30% of the taxable income. Expense with income tax and social contribution comprises both current and deferred taxes. Current and deferred taxes are recognized in income (loss) unless they are related to the business combination, or items directly recognized in shareholders’ equity.

We use the benefit derived from the Lei do Bem (Law No. 11,196/05), aimed at companies that perform research and development (R&D) of technological innovations. This benefit provides tax savings by reducing the income and social contribution tax base from 60% to 80% of our research and development expenditures.

For further information about our income tax and social contribution, see note 23 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Revenue

Our revenue increased by R$75,666 thousand, or 21.4%, to R$429,701 thousand in 2020 from R$354,035 thousand in 2019, mainly as a result of: (i) the Sirena Acquisition, with an increase of 1,087 customers and R$10,841 thousand in revenue; (ii) the increase in the volume of use (number of interactions) of our platform by our customers, which resulted in an increase of R$51,300 thousand in revenue in 2020 and (iii) an increase in our average interactions unit price (which consists of the average unit price we charge our customers to use our platform), which increased our revenue by R$13,526 thousand in 2020. The increase in revenue described above is driven by both (a) existing customers (R$ 45,316 thousand), as evidenced by our net revenue expansion rate of 112.8% for the year ended December 31, 2020 and (b) new customers adopting our solutions in 2020 (R$ 30,350 thousand).

Cost of services

Our cost of services increased by R$65,084 thousand, or 25.0%, to R$325,870 thousand in 2020 from R$260,786 thousand in 2019, principally due to an increase in expenses with carriers in the amount of R$55,286 thousand, of which R$ 30,260 thousand related to the increase in volume usage and R$ 25,026 thousand related to the increase in average usage price.

Gross profit

As a result of the above, our gross profit increased by R$10,582 thousand, or 11.3%, to R$103,831 thousand in 2020 from R$93,249 thousand in 2019. As a percentage of our revenue, our gross profit decreased to 24.2% in 2020 from 26.3% in 2019.

Other operating expenses

Selling and marketing expenses

Our selling and marketing expenses increased by R$7,571 thousand, or 29.1%, to R$33,589 thousand in 2020 from R$26,018 thousand in 2019, primarily due to (i) an increase in personnel expenses as part of

113

TABLE OF CONTENTS

our sales expansion strategy (in the amount of R$2,904 thousand), (ii) increased expenses related to the expansion of our infrastructure to meet the growth of sales channel partners, as well as commissions related to the increase in revenue from this channel in the amount of R$2,164 thousand, (iii) an increase in compensation expenses of R$1,326 thousand related to the Total Voice acquisition and (iv) the consolidation of Sirena’s selling and marketing expenses in our results in the amount of R$1,145 thousand (we started to consolidate Sirena in our results on July 24, 2020).

Administrative expenses

Our administrative expenses increased by R$30,799 thousand, or 75.4%, to R$71,667 thousand in 2020 from R$40,868 thousand in 2019, primarily as a result of (i) compensation expenses of R$8,833 thousand related to the Sirena Acquisition, (ii) the consolidation of Sirena’s administrative expenses in our results in the amount of R$7,875 thousand, (iii) increase in personnel expenses due to our increased headcount as part of our growth strategy in the amount of R$4,817 thousand, (iv) adoption of new software and processes related to growth structuring, such as Sales Force, (v) new billing system and others in the amount of R$2,928 thousand, (vi) expenses related to branch closing in Porto Alegre (amounting to R$1,100 thousand) and (vii) consultancy expenses related to the (a) auditing, legal and other accounting fees (in the amount of R$1,245 thousand), (b) M&As processes (in the amount of R$942 thousand) and (c) tax benefits processes and other tax matters (in the amount of R$ 845 thousand).

Research and development expenses

Our research and development expense increased by R$5,805 thousand, or 59.0%, to R$15,637 thousand in 2020 from R$9,832 thousand in 2019, primarily due to an increase in personnel expenses as a result of our growth in the amount of R$4,207 thousand and compensation expenses of R$1,326 thousand related to the Total Voice acquisition.

Net finance costs

Our net finance costs increased by R$4,791 thousand, or 186.3%, to R$8,532 thousand in 2020 from R$2,572 thousand in 2019, as a result of the following:

Finance costs

Our finance costs increased by R$19,769 thousand, or 290.3%, to R$26,580 thousand in 2020 from R$6,811 thousand in 2019, primarily as a result of a monthly variation of the exchange rate on the amounts payable related to the Sirena Acquisition (in the amount of R$14,354 thousand), monthly variation of the exchange rate on other assets and liabilities of R$ 1,435 thousand, interest expenses over amounts payable related to the Sirena Acquisition and an increase in the interest on loans and borrowings (in the amount of R$956 thousand).

Finance income

Our finance income increased by R$14,978 thousand, or 353.3%, to R$19,217 thousand in 2020 from R$4,239 thousand in 2019, mainly due to a monthly variation of the exchange rate on the amounts payable related Sirena Acquisition (in the amount of R$15,359 thousand), exchange rate from other assets and liabilities of R$ 1,870 thousand, partially offset by a reduction of gains on financial investments in the amount of R$2,339 thousand as a result of the reduction in the CDI interest rate during the period and due to the lower average monthly cash balance outstanding in 2020 when compared to 2019.

Profit (loss) before income tax and social contribution

As a result of the above, our profit before income tax and social contribution decreased by R$46,648 thousand, or 271.6%, to a loss before income tax and social contribution of R$29,470 thousand in 2020 from a profit before income tax and social contribution of R$17,178 thousand in 2019.

Revenue

Our revenue increased by R$77,655 thousand, or 28.1%, to R$354,035 thousand in 2019 from R$276,380 thousand in 2018, principally as a result of the increase in the volume of use (number of interactions) of our platform by our customers, which resulted in an increase in revenue of R$131,879 thousand in 2019. This increase was partially offset by (i) a reduction in our average interactions unit price (which consists of the average unit price we charge our customers to use the products we offer on our platform) for the period, which decreased our revenue by R$50,845 thousand in 2019 and (ii) a decrease in revenue derived from our carrier billing operations in the amount of R$3,397 thousand. The increase in revenue described above is driven by both (a) existing customers (R$ 47,261 thousand), as evidenced by our net revenue expansion rate of 117.1% for the year ended December 31, 2019 and (b) new customers (R$ 30,394 thousand) adopting our solutions in 2019).

Cost of services

Our cost of services increased by R$74,702 thousand, or 40.1%, to R$260,786 thousand in 2019 from R$186,084 thousand in 2018, principally due to an increase in expenses with carriers in the amount of R$72,248 thousand, of which R$ 79,850 thousand related to the increase in volume usage, partially offset by R$ 7,602 thousand due to a reduction in average usage price.

Gross profit

As a result of the above, our gross profit increased by R$2,953 thousand, or 3.3%, to R$93,249 thousand in 2019 from R$90,296 thousand in 2018. As a percentage of our revenue, our gross profit decreased to 26.3% in 2019 from 32.7% in 2018.

Other operating expenses

Selling and marketing expenses

Our selling and marketing expenses increased by R$7,777 thousand, or 42.6%, to R$26,018 thousand in 2019 from R$18,241 thousand in 2018, primarily due to expenses with our recently developed value-added reseller sales channel (in the amount of R$1,290 thousand), our increased investment in digital advertising and marketing events (in the amount of R$ 1,173 thousand), an increase in personnel expenses as part of our sales expansion strategy (in the amount of R$1,981 thousand) and compensation expenses of R$2,616 thousand related to Total Voice acquisition.

Administrative expenses

Our administrative expenses increased by R$5,185 thousand, or 14.5%, to R$40,868 thousand in 2019 from R$35,683 thousand in 2018, primarily as a result of expenses in our corporate technology structure (e.g., amortization of personal computers, personnel involved with internal infrastructure and amortization of internal servers) to support our growth and compliance requirements in the amount of R$1,555 thousand, corporate restructuring and mergers and acquisitions expenses for completed and pending transactions in the amount of R$1,477 thousand and an increase in personnel expenses due to our increased headcount as part of our growth strategy in the amount of R$998 thousand.

Research and development expenses

Our research and development expense increased by R$5,901 thousand, or 150.1%, to R$9,832 thousand in 2019 from R$3,931 thousand in 2018, primarily due to an increase in personnel expenses in the amount of R$1,502 thousand and outsourced engineering services in the amount of R$910 thousand, in line with our focus on enhancing existing products and introducing new products as well as enhancing product management and other technical functions. In addition, we had compensation expenses of R$2,614 thousand related to Total Voice acquisition.

Net finance costs

Our net finance costs decreased by R$1,334 thousand, or 34.2% to R$2,572 thousand in 2019 from R$3,906 thousand in 2018, as a result of the following:

Finance costs

Our finance costs decreased by R$541 thousand, or 7.4% to R$6,811 thousand in 2019 from R$7,352 thousand in 2018, as a result of the renegotiation of our Bank Credit Note (Cédula de Crédito Bancário), or CCB, with Banco Santander (Brasil) S.A. contemplating a reduction of interest rates and a decrease in interest rates to which our indebtedness is linked (such as CDI and TJLP) resulting in a lower debt servicing costs. For more information, see “— Indebtedness — Financing Agreements — Working Capital.”

Finance income

Our finance income increased by R$793 thousand, or 23.0%, to R$4,239 thousand in 2019 from R$3,446 thousand in 2018, primarily due to interest income given our average cash balance for the year.

Profit before income tax and social contribution

As a result of the above, our profit before income tax and social contribution decreased by R$9,166 thousand, or 34.8%, to R$17,178 thousand in 2019 from R$26,344 thousand in 2018. As a percentage of our revenue, our profit before income tax and social contribution decreased to 4.9% in 2019 from 9.5% in 2018.

Income tax and social contribution

Our income tax and social contribution decreased by R$3,145 thousand, to R$3,334 thousand in 2019 from R$6,479 thousand in 2018, primarily due to the reduction in profit before tax and the reduction in the effective tax rate to 19.4% from 24.6% as a result of tax incentives and other non taxable adjustments, such as Lei do Bem research and development tax incentives.

Profit for the year

As a result of the above, our profit decreased by R$6,021 thousand, or 30.3%, to R$13,844 thousand in 2019 from R$19,865 thousand in 2018. As a percentage of our revenue, our profit decreased to 3.9% in 2019 from 7.2% in 2018.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with IFRS. In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we make assumptions, judgments and estimates that can have a significant impact on amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements. We base our assumptions, judgments and estimates on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We regularly reevaluate our assumptions, judgments and estimates. Our significant accounting policies are described in note 4 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. We believe that the following critical accounting policies are more affected by the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate fair value of consideration transferred in a business combination, over the fair value of assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed.

When we acquire businesses, we allocate the purchase price to the tangible assets and liabilities and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Any residual purchase price is recorded as goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price requires management to make significant estimates in determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, especially with respect to intangible assets. These estimates are based on information obtained from management of the acquired companies, market information and historical experience. These estimates can include, but are not limited to:

•

the time and expenses that would be necessary to recreate the asset;

•

the profit margin a market participant would receive;

•

cash flows that an asset is expected to generate in the future; and

•

discount rates.

These estimates are inherently uncertain and unpredictable, and if different estimates were used the purchase price for the acquisition could be allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities differently from the allocation that we have made. In addition, unanticipated events and circumstances may occur which may affect the accuracy or validity of such estimates, and if such events occur we may be required to record a charge against the value ascribed to an acquired asset or an increase in the amounts recorded for assumed liabilities. Under the current authoritative guidance, we are allowed a one-year measurement period to finalize our preliminary valuation of the tangible and intangibles assets and liabilities acquired and make necessary adjustments to goodwill.

117

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose. The groups of units are identified at the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes, being one operating segment. We have one reportable segment as at December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as at December 31 and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of the segment to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.

Significant unobservable inputs			Relationship between significant unobservable inputs and measurement of the present value of cash flows
• Annual forecast revenue growth rate; • Forecast of the growth rate of variable input costs; and • Risk-adjusted discount rate.			The present value of cash flows could increase (decrease) if: • the annual growth rate of revenue was higher (lower); • the cost growth rate was (higher) lower; or • the risk-adjusted discount rate was (higher) lower.

The recoverable amount is determined by calculating the present value of cash flows based on our economic and/or financial projections for the next 5 years, and a terminal growth rate thereafter. Any kind of reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount is based would not cause the carrying amount to exceed the recoverable amount.

For total assets and intangibles we used the following assumptions:

	2020		2019		2018
Weighted average annual revenue growth		36.38%		16.48%		20.74%
Weighted average annual growth of variable cost		26.93%		18.74%		20.08%
Weighted average cost of capital (WACC)		16.40%		15.90%		19.00%
Growth in terminal value		0%		0%		0%

The key assumptions used in the estimation of the recoverable amount are set out above.

The values assigned to the key assumptions represent management’s assessment of future trends for the business and have been based on historical experience and growth projections, and internal and external data.

The estimated recoverable amount exceeded its carrying amount by approximately R$661,284 thousand (R$113,681 thousand in 2019). Management has identified that a reasonably possible change in the revenues could cause the carrying amount to equal the recoverable amount. The following table shows the rate of revenue growth and the corresponding effect on the variable cost growth by which the estimated recoverable amount is equal to the carrying amount.

	2020		2019		2018
Weighted average annual revenue growth		30.62%		9.40%		17.22%
Weighted average annual growth of variable cost		21.12%		11.52%		16.58%

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

Intangible assets — Research and development expenditures

Expenses with research activities are recognized in the period in which they are incurred. The intangible assets resulting from development expenditures (or of a development phase of an internal project) is

118

TABLE OF CONTENTS

recognized if, and only if, all of the following conditions are met: (i) technical feasibility to complete the intangible asset so it will be available for use or sale; (ii) the intention to complete the intangible asset and use it or sell it; (iii) ability to use or sell the intangible asset, (iv) how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits; (v) the availability of proper technical, financial and other resources to complete the development of the intangible asset and to use it or sell it and (vi) the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

The amount initially recognized for intangible assets corresponds to the sum of expenses incurred since the intangible asset started to meet the recognition criteria mentioned above until the moment it is considered finished and begins its value generation. After the closure of each capitalized project, they are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment if indicators of impairment arise.

We evaluate the recoverability of our intangible assets for impairment annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of intangible assets are measured by comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset.

Our main assumptions with respect to intangible assets relate to recoverable amounts. The initially recognized amount of intangible assets corresponds to the sum of the expenses incurred since the intangible asset started meeting the aforementioned recognition criteria. The estimation of recoverable amounts is sensitive to key assumptions including the discount rate used in determining present values, expected future cash-inflows and the long-term growth rate used for estimating cash flows in perpetuity. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset. No indicators of impairment were identified for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

When no internally generated intangible asset can be recognized, we recognize development expenses in income (loss) for the period, when incurred. After the initial recognition, intangible assets generated internally are recorded at cost, less amortization and accumulated impairment losses, as well as intangible assets separately acquired.

Income tax and social contribution

Current income tax

The current corporate income tax, or CIT, is calculated at a joint nominal rate of approximately 34%. CIT is composed of (i) income tax at the rate of 15% in addition to a surplus rate of 10% for taxable income exceeding R$20.0 thousand per month; and (ii) 9% social contribution tax on net income.

Our tax assets for the current year are calculated based on the expected recoverable amount, and tax liabilities for the current year are calculated based on the amount payable to the applicable tax authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to calculate this amount are those enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date. We periodically evaluate our tax positions with respect to interpreting tax regulations and, when appropriate, establish provisions. Due to the nature of income tax and social contributions in Brazil described above, where income tax and social contributions are payable on a legal entity basis as opposed to on a consolidated basis, tax losses for one subsidiary entity cannot be used to offset income tax owed by other subsidiary entities.

Provisions

A provision is recognized in the statement of financial position when we have a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are recognized based on the best estimates of the risk involved.

Possible contingent assets are not recognized until final and unappealable decisions are in our favor and when it is virtually certain that the asset will be realized. Taxes whose enforceability is being challenged in the judicial sphere are recorded taking into consideration the concept of “legal obligation.” Judicial deposits performed as guarantees for lawsuits in progress are recorded under “Judicial deposits.”

119

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Provisions are reviewed on the dates of the financial statements and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer probable that a cash outflow is required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.

Application of New Accounting Standards and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

IFRS 16 replaced the lease standards and introduced a single model of accounting of leases in the balance sheet for lessees. A lessee recognizes an asset of right-of-use that represents its right to use the leased asset and a liability lease that represents its obligation to make payments under the lease. Practical expedients are available to short-term leases and low value leases. This standard became effective as of January 1, 2019.

We adopted IFRS 16 under the simplified retrospective approach, which did not require the restatement of the corresponding amounts or impact the total equity and elected the adoption of practical expedients.

Accordingly, the comparative information was not restated. In the transition, for leases classified as operational leases, under IFRS 16, the lease liabilities were measured at present value of the remaining payments, discounted at the incremental loan rate as at January 1, 2019. Right-of-use assets are measured at an amount equal to the lease liability on the date of the initial adoption, adjusted by any lease payments received or paid in advance.

We have elected to adopt the practical expedients. We did not recognize the right-of-use assets and the lease liabilities for low value leases (up to R$5,000) and for lease terms expiring within twelve months of the date of initial adoption, excluded the initial direct costs of measuring the right-of-use asset as of the date of the initial adoption and used January 1, 2019 as the date of initial adoption to determine the lease term.

For information about the application by us of new accounting standards and recent accounting pronouncements that will apply to us going forward and/or in the future, see note 5 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Seasonality

Although we have not historically experienced significant seasonality with respect to our revenue throughout the year given the growth in the adoption and usage of our platform, we have seen moderate seasonality in some use cases such as education and brick-and-mortar retail stores. We have experienced revenue growth during the Carnival period in March, the back-to-school periods in July and August, Black Friday at the end of November and the Christmas season. The rapid growth in our business has offset this seasonal trend to date, but its impact on revenue may be more pronounced in future periods. For more information, see “Risk Factors — Certain Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry — Our quarterly results may fluctuate, and if we fail to meet securities analysts’ and investors’ expectations, then the trading price of our Class A common shares and the value of your investment could decline substantially.”

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following discussion of our liquidity and capital resources is based on the financial information derived from our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Liquidity

Our cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, immediate demand deposits with financial institutions and other short-term highly liquid investments, which have an immaterial risk of change in value. As of December 31, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents amounted to R$59,979 thousand. For additional information, see note 6 to our audited consolidated financial statements.

We regularly evaluate opportunities to enhance our financial flexibility through a variety of methods, including, without limitation, through the issuance of debt securities and entering of additional credit lines. As a result of any of these actions, we may be subject to restrictions and covenants in the agreements governing these transactions that may place limitations on us, and we may be required to pledge collateral to secure such instruments.

120

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We intend to increase our capital expenditures to support the growth in our business and operations. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and the liquidity provided from other sources of funds (including the proceeds from this offering and the indebtedness incurred in 2021 as further detailed below) will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months and that our debt profile will be adequate vis-à-vis our estimated cash requirements. However, our liquidity assumptions may prove to be incorrect, and we could exhaust our available financial resources sooner than we currently expect. We may seek to raise additional funds at any time through equity, equity-linked or debt financing arrangements. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those described in the section of this prospectus captioned “Risk Factors.” We may not be able to secure additional financing to meet our operating requirements on acceptable terms, or at all.

Net cash used in investment activities

Net cash used in investment activities increased by R$51,664 thousand, to R$61,591 thousand in 2020 from R$9,927 thousand in 2019, increase in the amount of acquisition of subsidiary net of cash by R$43,482 thousand, primarily due to the impact of the Sirena acquisition, net of cash (which amounted to R$45,344 thousand), platform acquisition in the amount of R$4,400 thousand and increase in other intangible assets in the amount of R$3,786 thousand (totaling R$8,186 thousand of variation in acquisition of intangible assets). Net cash used in investment activities decreased by R$994 thousand, to R$9,927 thousand in 2019 from R$10,921 thousand in 2018, primarily due to the payment in 2019 of the first installment for the acquisition of Total Voice, in the amount of R$1,862 thousand, acquisition of property and equipment, including equipment and hardware for use in our data centers and offices (R$2,303 thousand higher than in 2018), partially offset by liquid investments (R$4,636 thousand higher than in 2018).

This change was primarily due to (i) new loans and borrowings in the amount of R$62,000 thousand (compared to R$25,000 thousand in 2019), (ii) a capital increase of R$36,409 thousand in 2020 and (iii) the non-recurrence in 2020 of payment of dividends (which amounted to R$67,719 thousand in 2019), partially offset by an increase in payment of loans and borrowings in the amount of R$33,212 thousand in 2020 (compared to R$9,879 thousand in 2019).

Net cash used in financing activities increased by R$48,242 thousand, to R$54,858 thousand in 2019 from R$6,616 thousand in 2018. This increase was primarily due to a change in our shareholding structure as a result of the departure of certain shareholders, resulting in an extraordinary dividend payment in the amount of R$67,719 thousand (compared to R$2,310 thousand in 2018), which was partially offset by a reduction in debt payment in the period (R$9,879 thousand in 2019 compared to R$28,565 thousand in 2018).

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2020, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We maintain operations with financial instruments that are managed through operating strategies and internal controls to ensure liquidity and profitability. The control policy consists of permanent monitoring of the contracted conditions versus conditions prevailing in the market. We do not make speculative investments in derivatives or any other risky assets and, therefore, the results obtained from these operations are consistent with the defined policies and strategies.

Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows from a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices. Market prices encompass two types of risk: interest rate and exchange rate. Financial instruments affected by market risk include loans payable, deposits and financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that we and our subsidiaries may not have sufficient funds to honor our commitments on account of the currency variations and the respective rights and obligations. We and our subsidiaries’ cash flow and liquidity positions are monitored on a daily basis by our management, so as to ensure that operating cash generation and fundraising, as necessary, are sufficient for our payment schedules, thus not generating liquidity risk for us and our subsidiaries.

See note 25.4 to our audited consolidated financial statements for further information.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of the future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. We are exposed to the risk of changes in the rates of the Interbank Deposit Certificate (“CDI”) and Long Term Interest Rates (“TJLP”) for our financial investments and loans and, therefore, our financial result may change as a result of the fluctuation in the variation of

126

TABLE OF CONTENTS

these financial indexes. We manage interest rate risk by maintaining a balanced portfolio between financial investments and loans payable subject to fixed and variable rates.

We conducted a sensitivity analysis of the interest rate risks to which our financial investments and loans are exposed as of December 31, 2020. For this analysis, we adopted as a probable scenario for the future interest rates of 2.75% for the CDI rate and of 4.39% for the TJLP rate. When estimating an increase or decrease in current interest rates for the period of one year by 25% and 50%, interest income and interest expenses, net, would be impacted as follows:

	Balance as of December 31, 2020		Risk	Scenario I (Probable)		Scenario II		Scenario III
	(in thousands of R$)			(in thousands of R$, except percentages)
Financial investments		49,107	Decrease of CDI		2.75%		2.06%		1.38%
Financial revenues					1,350		1,013		675
BNDES financing		15,653	Increase of TJLP		769		961		1,153
Rates subject to variation					4.91%		6.14%		7.37%
Financings		83,322	Increase of CDI		2,291		2,864		3,437
Rates subject to variation					2.75%		3.44%		4.13%

See note 25.7.1 to our audited consolidated financial statements for further information.

Exchange Rate Risk

Exchange rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows from a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in exchange rates. We are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar for software purchase transactions and amounts receivable from customers. In order to mitigate these risks, we constantly assess fluctuations in exchange rates. We believe that exposure to this risk is low considering that the amounts involved are not material.

Public Company Cost

Upon the consummation of our initial public offering, we will become a public company, and our Class A common shares will be publicly traded on the Nasdaq. As a result, we will need to comply with new laws, regulations and requirements that we did not need to comply with as a private company, including provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, other applicable SEC regulations and the requirements of the Nasdaq. Compliance with the requirements of being a public company will require us to increase our selling and administrative expenses in order to pay our employees, legal counsel and independent registered public accountants to assist us in, among other things, instituting and monitoring a more comprehensive compliance and board governance function, establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and preparing and distributing periodic public reports in compliance with our obligations under the federal securities laws. In addition, as a public company, it will be more expensive for us to obtain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012

On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, and these exemptions will apply until we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” See “Risk Factors — Certain Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry — If we fail to establish and maintain proper and effective system of disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements, our results of operations and our ability to operate our business or comply with applicable regulations may be adversely affected.”

Our Business Model and Our Communications Platform

The following chart summarizes our business model, communications platform (including channels and tools), use cases and business relationships with sales channel partners.

Our platform, combined with our business model, empowers innovators within every business, by encouraging them to be autonomous and innovate to evolve their end-consumer journey without upfront payments and complex systems implementation and integration. We may give businesses free access to our platform for a trial period to allow them test their use cases prior to entering into a contract with us. We continue to improve our average sales cycle and expedite the adoption of our solutions by customers. Our average overall sales cycle was 19 days in 2020, compared to 37 days in 2019. For small- and medium-sized companies, our average sales cycle was 11 days and 14 days in 2020, compared to 15 days and 33 days in 2019. For large companies, we also experienced considerable improvement in terms of average sales cycle from 63 days in 2019 to 30 days in 2020. We believe our frictionless sales process strategy for smaller businesses increases our conversion rate when compared to our competitors as most of them need a salesperson available for every customer contact and we do not. We believe we are well-positioned to continue our accelerated growth while maintaining a low cost of acquisition, based on our “self-service” platform, i.e., customers can directly acquire and use our services without interaction with our sales or support team, which allows sales channel partners to integrate some of our platform capabilities in their software to improve the offering of their products together with our cross-selling opportunities.

Research and Development

Our research and development efforts are focused on enhancing our existing products and developing new products and on ensuring that our platform is resilient and available to our customers at any time.

Our research and development department is built around small development teams. Our small development are autonomous and allow us to be more agile, which enables us to develop new, innovative products and make rapid changes to our infrastructure that increase resiliency and operational efficiency. Our development teams designed, built and continue to expand our communications platform which enables our customers to solve communication business problems in the customer experience journey and allows developers to embed communications channels into their applications. As of December 31, 2020, we had 43 employees (96 employees after giving effect to the expected consummation of the D1 Acquisition) working on our research and development efforts. We intend to continue to invest in our research and development capabilities to extend our platform and bring the power of contextual communications and the simplification of complex communication problems in the end customer journey to a broader range of applications, geographies and customers.

Our Customers

Our platform is suitable for clients of different sizes and we provide our services to small, medium and enterprise clients.

We add value to small companies by facilitating access to technologies that are generally only accessible to large corporations with extensive IT capabilities. We were responsible for giving mass market appeal to corporate SMS communication in Brazil, creating an offer of easy access and use services for small customers. This expertise is also being replicated for other products with simple processes of acquisition, implementation and use. Our customers can expand their use of our platform and increase its usage by themselves or requiring only quick training by our support team.

For medium and large clients, in addition to the same organic land and expand process implemented for the small ones, we added other automated solutions, involving a more consultative sales processes that allows us to deepen our understanding of the customer’s needs and propose the best solution.

Our client base is large and we have clients across a broad range of industries and of all sizes (small, medium and large companies; considering the number of employees). Our 10 largest clients represented 33.1%, 34.2% and 37.0% of our revenue in the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For more information, see “Risk Factors — Certain Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry — A significant portion of our revenue is currently concentrated on our outlier customers and an economic slowdown affecting these customers could lead to decreased demand for our products and services, which could adversely affect us.”

Sales and Marketing

Our sales and marketing teams work together to promote awareness and adoption of our platform, accelerate customer acquisition and generate revenue from them.

Our go-to-market model is mainly focused on understanding and meeting the digital communication needs of the our customers’ business departments.

135

TABLE OF CONTENTS

This work involves the process of raising market awareness of business needs or problems that our platform helps to solve and then a process that accelerates the acquisition of customers with inbound and outbound marketing actions supported by a sales process that uses a sales machine methodology from Winning by Design. To complement, we constantly develop processes, tools and agile methods to accelerate the adoption of our solutions by customers.

We have a strong direct sales channel using inbound marketing and our inside sales teams to acquire new customers with sales machine methodology. For large businesses and part of medium businesses, we use inbound marketing and also use outbound marketing with account based marketing strategies and an account manager team. These teams are divided into account executives for new business (previously called hunters) and account executives for base customers (previously called farmers or sales development team).

We have also recently started to reach the developer audience. Once developers are introduced to our platform, we provide them with a low-friction trial experience. By accessing our easy-to-configure APIs, extensive self-service documentation and customer support team, developers can build our products into their applications and then test such applications through free trials. Once they decide to use our products beyond the initial free trial period, customers provide their credit card information and only pay for the actual usage of our products, and can also have a postpaid plan or recommend our products to their customers.

Our recently launched self-serve pricing matrix is publicly available and it allows customers to receive automatic tiered discounts as their usage of our products increases. As customers’ use of our products increases, some may enter into negotiated contracts with terms that dictate pricing. Our “self-service” model has reached potential customers and existing customers of all sizes.

In the last two years, after our rollout of our “self-service” model for the purchase of SMS, we attained the largest number of customers and we intend to expand other offerings.

As customers expand their use of our platform, our relationship with them often evolves to include key users and business leaders in their businesses. When our customers reach a certain level of spending with us, they are served by an account manager and/or the customer success team to guarantee customer satisfaction and encourage them to increase the use of our products.

When potential customers do not have the available developer resources to build their own applications, we refer them to our VAR, who are able to sell and implement our products for such customers. The VAR program is part of our Indirect Sales Channel strategy to reach customers that need advanced solutions as flows, chatbots and consultancy, training to implement business strategies and our products. Beyond this program we have an Alliance program to reach SaaS companies that need our products to complement their solutions. The Alliances program allows software companies to seamlessly integrate their solutions with ours and recommend Zenvia as a communication platform partner.

Customer Support

The mission of our customer support team is to address customer concerns and ensure customer satisfaction. We achieve this through our team of motivated people, that we train to provide customer service with empathy and a positive attitude. In addition, we seek to offer ways for customers to have more autonomy to use our products and solutions and to manage them efficiently and independently. Finally, we seek to interact and respond to customer queries with agility, speed and quality, generating a positive experience for our customers. In order to achieve this, we provide them with multiple communication channels to interact with us (by phone, chat on-line, e-mail, chatbots and WhatsApp). We also divide our support according to the client’s category and respond to requests based on category and incident severity. Our support model is national with 12x5 coverage (available from Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. (BRT GMT-3), with a Level 1 team that is responsible for addressing general tickets with medium and low complexity and a Level 2 (technical team) divided into squads, with experts for each product line. Currently, we are starting operations in Mexico, with a local office and support team to guarantee a better communication and relationship with customers located in Mexico.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In addition, we are working to provide a self-service experience: improving our developers webpage (with new articles, clear and complete documentation about our API´s and with a user friendly testing environment for our solutions); and creating a web interface, so that our customers can manage financial and registration data and use of our services.

For 2021, as we seek to further differentiate our service, ensuring faster SLAs and continuous and proactive monitoring of our solutions, we are expanding our operations to offer 24/7 support for an additional cost. In addition, we intend to fully integrate all of our operations and new acquisitions. See “Risk Factors — Certain Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry — We may pursue strategic acquisitions or investments which may divert our management’s attention and result in reduced cash levels, increased indebtedness or dilution to our shareholders. The failure of an acquisition or investment to produce the anticipated results, the failure to consummate a pending acquisition (including the D1 Acquisition) or the inability to integrate an acquired company fully, could adversely affect our business.”

Moreover, we recently acquired Sirena. We are working to complete the integration of Sirena by the end of the first half of 2021. The Sirena team offers effective and fast support service through valuable interactions. Our vision is aligned with what is known as “an effortless experience” where we put systems in place to allow customers to help themselves first. We engineer the customer experience to reduce the need to interact with a person, relying on bots, help articles and tutorials. For users that still need our help or for reporting bugs and incidents, we offer support through an in-app chat and via email from Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. (ARG GMT-3) and Saturdays from 9 a.m to 3 p.m. (ARG GMT-3). The customer base of Sirena is categorized according to user types and plans. Plans for 2021 include implementing new methodologies to provide greater customer self service.

Competition

The market for cloud communications is rapidly evolving and increasingly competitive. We believe that the principal competitive factors in our market are:

•

completeness of offering;

•

credibility with business analysts and leaderships from companies

•

credibility with developers;

•

ease of integration and programmability;

•

product features;

•

low cost of adoption our products

•

fast use and fast results with our products and services

•

platform scalability, reliability, security and performance;

•

brand awareness and reputation;

•

the strength of sales and marketing efforts;

•

customer support; and

•

the cost of deploying and using our products.

Some of our current and future competitors may have greater financial, technical and other resources, greater name recognition, larger sales and marketing budgets and larger intellectual property portfolios. As a result, certain of our current and future competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively to new opportunities, technologies and standards or changing customer requirements. In addition, some competitors may offer products or services that serve one or a limited number of functions at lower prices, with greater coverage than our products or geographies where we do not operate. With the introduction of new products and services and new market participants, we expect competition to intensify in the future. In addition, as we expand the scope of our platform, we may face additional competition.

Considering only CPaaS players, our main competitors are Infobip, Sinch (which acquired the Brazilian companies TWW and Wavy, with operations in Brazil and other Latin American countries), Twilio and MessageBird.

137

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Global players, such as Zendesk and Salesforce, in addition to local players, such as Take (Brazil) and Yalo (Mexico), may be considered as our competitors in the CX communications platform market.

Intellectual Property

We rely on patents, copyrights and a number of registered and unregistered trademarks in Brazil and other jurisdictions to protect our proprietary technology.

As of the date of this prospectus, Zenvia Brazil has 15 trademark registration processes in Brazil, of which 14 are in force and one is in progress. Zenvia Brazil is also the holder of 75 Brazilian national domains, all registered at Registro.br and GoDaddy. In addition to the trademark registration processes owned by Zenvia Brazil, there are also 13 trademark registration processes in force in Brazil owned by our Brazilian subsidiaries (27 trademark registration processes, after giving effect to the expected consummation of the D1 Acquisition) as well as a trademark registration in Argentina owned by Sirena.

Despite our efforts to protect our technology and proprietary rights through intellectual property rights, licenses and other contractual protections, unauthorized parties may still copy or otherwise obtain and use our software and other technology. In addition, we intend to continue to expand our operations internationally, and effective intellectual property, copyright, trademark and trade secret protection may not be available or may be limited in foreign countries. Any significant impairment of our intellectual property rights could harm our business or our ability to compete. Further, companies in the communications and technology industries may own large numbers of patents, copyrights and trademarks and may frequently threaten litigation, or file suit against us based on allegations of infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. We are currently subject to allegations that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of third parties, including our competitors.

Properties

Our principal executive office is located in the city of São Paulo, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. In addition to our headquarters, we also have representative offices in Delaware, United States, Mexico City, Mexico and Buenos Aires, Argentina.

On March 1, 2015, we entered into a lease agreement, which was amended on March 30, 2016 and July 1, 2018, for approximately 910 square meters of office space at Avenida Paulista, 2300, Suites 182 and 184, CEP 01310-300, in the city of São Paulo, state of São Paulo, Brazil. This lease is valid from March 30, 2015 to June 30, 2023 and not subject to automatic renewal. Pursuant to the lease, monthly lease payments consist of R$86,455.70. We secured our lease obligation with a letter of credit in the amount of three times the monthly lease payment.

We lease all of our facilities and do not own any real property. We intend to procure additional space in the future as we continue to add employees and expand geographically. We believe our facilities are adequate and suitable for our current needs and that, should it be needed, suitable additional or alternative space will be available to accommodate our operations.

Human Resources

As of December 31, 2020, we had 470 employees (672 employees, after giving effect to the expected consummation of the D1 Acquisition), of which 387 were based in Brazil (572 employees, after giving effect to the expected consummation of the D1 Acquisition), 63 were based in Argentina, 14 were based in Mexico and 6 were based in the United States.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, we had 226 and 164 full-time employees, respectively. We also engage third-party consultants as needed to support our operations. The table below breaks down our full-time personnel by category of activity as of December 31, 2020.

We believe we have a constructive relationship with these unions and we have not experienced any strikes, work stoppages or disputes leading to any form of downtime from our employees.

Regulatory Matters

Impacts of the enforcement of Law No. 13,709/2018 (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais), or LGPD, to our products and platform and our business model

Our activities are mainly focused on the provision of a CX communications platform, by which our clients can distribute information, collect survey’s results and perform double factor authentication via instant messages on various communication platforms, such as SMS and social media. The use of such communication platforms implies the processing of the users’ personal data available in such platform, which shall be limited to the necessary data required for the provision of services.

The nature of our business exposes us to risks related to possible shortcomings in data protection. Any undue processing or unauthorized disclosure of personally identifiable information, whether through breach of our network by an unauthorized party, employee theft, misuse or error or otherwise, could harm our reputation, impair our ability to attract and retain our customers, or subject us to claims or litigation arising from damages suffered by individuals.

Law No. 13,709/2018 (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais), or LGPD, was enacted to regulate the processing of personal data in Brazil. The LGPD establishes a new legislation to be observed by individuals or public or private companies in operations involving processing of personal data in Brazil and provides for, among others, the rights of holders of personal data, the legal bases applicable to the processing of personal data, the requisites to obtain consent, the obligations and requisites related to security incidents and leakages and transfers of data, either Brazilian or international, as well as the creation of the National Authority for Data Protection, or ANPD, responsible for the inspection, promotion, disclosure, regulation, establishment of guidelines and application of the law.

Further, Law No. 14,010/2020 was approved in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and among other measures postponed the application of the administrative sanctions set out in the LGPD to August 1, 2021. In case of noncompliance with the LGPD, we can be subject to administrative sanctions applicable by the ANPD, from August 1, 2021 onwards, on isolated or cumulative basis, of warning, obligation to disclose incidents; temporary blocking and/or elimination of personal data related to the infraction; simple fine of up to 2% of our revenue, or revenue of the group or conglomerate in Brazil for the last fiscal year, excluding taxes, up to the global amount of R$50 million per infraction; daily fine, up to the aforesaid global limit; suspension of the operation of the database related to the infraction for the maximum period of six months, which can be extended for an equal period, up to the regularization of the processing by the controlling shareholder; suspension of activities related to processing of personal data related to the infraction for a period of six months, which can be extended for an equal period; and partial or total prohibition to exercise activities related to data processing.

139

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The fact that the administrative sanctions of the LGPD will be applicable by the ANPD only in August 2021 does not prevent the imposition of administrative sanctions set forth by other laws that address issues related to data privacy and protection, such as the Brazilian Code of Consumer Defense and the Brazilian Civil Rights Framework for the Internet. These administrative sanctions can be applied by other public authorities, such as the Attorney General’s Office and consumer protection agencies. We can also be held liable at the civil sphere for violation of these laws.

In addition to the administrative sanctions, due to the noncompliance with the obligations established by the LGPD, we can be held liable for individual or collective material damages, and non-material damages caused to holders of personal data, including when caused by service providers or sales channel partners that serve as operators of personal data on our behalf.

Legal and Administrative Proceedings

From time to time, we may be subject to legal and administrative proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. We have received, and may in the future continue to receive, claims from third parties. Future litigation may be necessary to defend ourselves, our sales channel partners and our customers by determining the scope, enforceability and validity of third-party proprietary rights, or to establish our proprietary rights. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

We recognize provisions for legal proceedings in our consolidated financial statements when (i) it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the claim and (ii) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The assessment of the likelihood of loss includes analysis by our management, with the support of internal and external counsel, of available evidence, the hierarchy of laws, available case law, recent court rulings and their relevance in the legal system. Our provisions for probable losses arising from these matters are estimated and periodically adjusted by our management.

As of December 31, 2020, we recorded provisions in connection with legal and administrative proceedings based on probable loss in an aggregate amount of R$31,780 thousand. However, legal and administrative proceedings are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties. If one or more cases result in a judgment against us in any reporting period for amounts that exceed our management’s expectations, the impact on our operating results or financial condition for that reporting period could be material. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry — The costs and effects of pending and future litigation, investigations or similar matters, or adverse facts and developments related thereto, could materially affect our business, financial position and results of operations.”

Tax Proceedings

As of December 31, 2020, we were party to 10 tax proceedings. In general, the main claims sought in these proceedings relate to (i) the disallowance of ISS tax as part of our basis for calculation of PIS/COFINS tax contributions, (ii) ISS tax assessment on our commercialization and sale of value added services regarding the integration between network service providers and our clients for SMS message traffic for which we have recorded a provision of R$31,336 thousand, and (iii) administrative claims in the amount of approximately R$32,000 thousand related to a fine imposed by the Brazilian federal tax authority for failure to pay income taxes on capital gain from our acquisition of Kanon Serviços em Tecnologia da Informação Ltda. from Spring Mobile Solutions Inc., or Spring, for which we have not recorded a provision as the chance of loss under this proceeding was not considered probable.

Administrative Proceedings

As of December 31, 2020, we were party as plaintiffs to three administrative proceedings for which we have not recorded a provision. Those proceedings were initiated in August 2020 before ANATEL against tier 1 network service providers. In general, the main claims we seek in these proceedings relate to our requests for the establishment of standardized prices for SMS messages and adoption of telecommunication sector monetary inflation indexes for monetary adjustments going forward (rather than the adoption of broader inflation indexes). See “Risk Factors—Certain Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry—If we

Material Contracts

On September 17, 2019, our subsidiary, MKMB Soluções Tecnológicas Ltda, or MKMB, entered into an agreement with Facebook, Inc., or Facebook, for Facebook to provide us with the WhatsApp Business Solution, which we, in turn, offer to our business customers. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement and depending on the number of messages sent to or from countries and regions, we pay certain fees, including taxes and levies, according to a price list established by Facebook. The agreement is valid for an indeterminate period of time, unless either party terminates the agreement upon 30 days’ prior written notice in accordance with its terms.

On November 23, 2017, we entered into an agreement with Claro S.A., or Claro, for Claro to provide us with SMS services. We pay a monthly subscription fee based on the SMS message bundling allowance plus a fixed charge per SMS message over the allowance. The agreement is valid for a period of one year from its date of execution and subject to automatic renewal for the same period of time, unless either party provides 30 days’ prior written notice of the intention to not seek renewal.

On November 14, 2019, we entered into an agreement with Oi Móvel S.A., or Oi, for Oi to provide us with SMS services. The agreement is valid until December 31, 2020 and subject to automatic renewal for periods of twelve months, unless either party provides 30 days’ prior written notice of the intention to not seek renewal. We may terminate the SMS services agreement at any time with 60 days’ prior written notice, subject to the payment of penalties. On January 7, 2020, we entered into an agreement with Oi for Oi to provide us with technology management services related to SMS messages. The agreement is valid until December 31, 2020 and not subject to automatic renewal. We may terminate the technology management services agreement at any time, subject to the payment of penalties. We pay a fixed monthly subscription fee for the services based on the SMS message bundling allowance plus a fixed charge per SMS message over the allowance. On January 7, 2020, we amended both agreements to reflect a revised SMS message bundling allowance plus a fixed charge per SMS message over the allowance as the basis for the fixed monthly subscription fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on November 11, 2020, we entered into an agreement with Oi to purchase in advance 900 million SMS messages, to be used by no later than May 13, 2021, at prices more favorable to us than the prices established in the pricing table previously in effect. This purchase suspended the monthly subscription fee referred to above until May 13, 2021.

On April 1, 2020, we entered into an agreement with Telefonica Brasil S.A., or Vivo, for Vivo to provide us with SMS services.

On July 21, 2020, we entered into an agreement with Tim S.A., or TIM, for TIM to provide us with SMS services. We pay a fixed monthly subscription fee based on the SMS message bundling allowance plus a fixed charge per SMS message over the allowance. The agreement is valid until June 14, 2021, unless either party terminates the agreement upon 60 days’ prior written notice in accordance with its terms, and may be renewed upon the execution of an amendment by both parties.

Industry

Communication is critical for the operation and innovation of businesses of all sizes

With unprecedented customer dependence on smartphones and the proliferation of mobile applications, communications have become a major focus for businesses of all sizes. As a result, businesses are integrating mission-critical communications functions in their products and services. In order to provide real-time value to their end-consumers across a myriad of devices, businesses are seeking to effectively operate and innovate to create a “connected” experience.

141

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Ability of businesses to differentiate themselves has driven competition

Communication is transforming interactions between businesses and their end-consumers

In addition, the ongoing transformation of the communications industry is demonstrated by the expected change in the mix of services provided by CPaaS companies, which is one of our target markets. According to Juniper Research’s “2020 CPAAS Future Market Outlook — Emerging Opportunities — 2020-2025 — Deep dive Data & Forecasting” study, the CPaaS global market landscape is expected to change over the next five years as a result of the diversification of services offered. Although SMS revenue from CPaaS platforms is expected to grow 21.8% on average annually, it is expected to account only for approximately 70.5% of total CPaaS revenue by 2025, compared to 95.9% of total CPaaS revenue in 2020. These number represents that although and SMS and Application-to-Person (A2P) maybe be perceived as legacy strategies, they will potentially be the platform to leverage and catapult new technologies and strategies across markets.

Our Market Opportunity

We continue to expand in Latin America and this market represents an important area of growth and TAM going forward

Our CX communication platform addresses multiple markets. One of our target markets is CPaaS. We are the only representative vendor in the 2020 Gartner Market Guide for Communications Platform as a Service headquartered in Latin America.* For Gartner disclaimer, see “Presentation of Financial and Other Information—Market Information.” We have a large CPaaS TAM, in Latin America, amounting to US$659.6 million in 2020, and our industry is expected to experience average annual growth in TAM of 34.6% a year as from 2020 and reach US$2.16 billion by 2024, according to IDC’s estimates. Our experience with customers of various sizes and segments also points to great demand for marketing campaign tools that can leverage SMS, RCS, e-mail and other digital channels, so we believe in the potential of multichannel Marketing Campaign Management (MCM) market also as a target market for our solutions. According to IDC estimates, the MCM TAM, in Latin America, amounted to US$1.54 billion in 2020, and this industry is expected to experience average annual growth in TAM of 4.1% a year from 2020 and reach US$1.80 billion by 2024. Our roots in Latin America allow us to understand its complexities and opportunities, to identify the right combination of technologies, sales channel efficiency and go-to-market strategy and to lead the customer experience transformation in the region. On July 24, 2020, in line with our strategy to expand our platform in Latin America, we acquired Sirena, a startup founded in 2014 that offers communication solutions for sales teams via WhatsApp in countries such as Argentina and Mexico. Also, upon consummation of the D1 Acquisition, we expect to expand our Latin America addressable market by adding a multichannel engagement solution and multiple tools to our CX communication platform such as single customer view, journey builder, documents (e.g., invoices, utilities bills, insurance policies) composition and delivery of transaction documents through multiple channels, which are considered part of the Customer Communications Management, or CCM, market. According to IDC estimates, the CCM TAM in Latin America amounted to US$115.6 million in 2020, and this industry is expected to experience average annual growth in TAM of 5.6% a year from 2020 and reach US$143.9 million by 2024. For further information about the Sirena Acquisition and the D1 Acquisition, see “Presentation of Financial and Other Information—D1 Acquisition, Sirena Acquisition and Related Financial Statements” and “Risk Factors—Certain Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry—We may pursue strategic acquisitions or investments which may divert our management’s attention and result in reduced cash levels, increased indebtedness or dilution to our shareholders. The failure of an acquisition or investment to produce the anticipated results,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the failure to consummate a pending acquisition (including the D1 Acquisition) or the inability to integrate an acquired company fully, could adversely affect our business.” The following chart represents the total addressable market in Latin America for CPaaS, MCM and CCM for the periods indicated below:

We believe the Latin American market has significant growth potential as it is in the early stage of digital transformation and the adoption of technology. For example, current business spending on information technology in Latin America remains relatively low compared to spending in developed markets (1.9% in Latin America compared to 4.1% in the United States in terms of percentage of GDP as of 2019, according to data from ABES and the World Bank). Additionally, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for businesses to transform their end-consumer journey by implementing digital platforms and solutions to mitigate disruptions and maintain direct relationships with end-consumers. Accordingly, we believe that the expected recovery of the Latin American economy, coupled with the expectation of pro-business reforms in certain countries of the region, will create opportunities for strategic investments in the private sector, generating an increase in demand for digital solutions, and we believe we are well-positioned to be at the forefront of meeting this increase in demand.

Considering one of our target markets, which includes, but is not limited to the markets mentioned in the chart above, the CPaaS market was negatively impacted by the virtual halt of economic activity in many countries across Europe and North America. However, CPaaS is a digital platform and the creation of applications has been sustained by remote workers. While many companies have shuttered their brick-and-mortar locations, they still depend on digital infrastructure to engage with customers. The IDC reported the market slowed down slightly in 2020, as a result of the economic and social impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, growth will resume in 2021, as companies redouble their digital outreach in late 2020 and into 2021.

IDC is forecasting that, post-COVID-19, most large enterprises will conduct most of their business on digital platforms. Companies that are not in the midst of digital transformation are at risk of, at worst, extinction or, at best, falling behind.

“CPaaS will be in integral aspect of customer engagement for enterprises over the next five years, providing the foundation for innovative differentiation,” according to Courtney Munroe, research vice president, Worldwide Telecommunications Research at IDC.

Legacy approach will be insufficient

The COVID-19 pandemic brought some unprecedented challenges which have led to wholesale changes inside businesses across most aspects of their businesses. Digital operations have been significantly impacted and businesses are expected to leverage their developers to lead a CX communications platform-driven digital transformation to be able to survive the impacts of the pandemic.

143

TABLE OF CONTENTS

CPaaS market in 2020 is being led by legacy SMS and A2P services. They are simple to deploy, provide a fast return on investment, and fulfill easy-to-understand use cases — such as appointment reminders and service renewals, which make them the preferable entry point of new clients and businesses that are implement such services during the pandemic. However, as businesses master foundational CPaaS, their development teams advance to richer capabilities such as messaging apps (led by WhatsApp, along with WeChat and Apple Business Chat), omnichannel, video, enhanced security (such as biometrics) and payments. Most of the growth of the next year on the CPaaS industry will come from these new richer capabilities and pioneers should have advantage on this environment.

Following this offering, we will have a total issued share capital of US$1,840.85, divided into 36,817,101 common shares (assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional Class A common shares). Those common shares will be divided into 13,108,801 Class A common shares and 23,708,300 Class B common shares (assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional Class A common

shares); or 15,045,165 Class A common shares and 23,708,300 Class B common shares (assuming full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional Class A common shares). See “Capitalization” and “Dilution.”

Treasury Shares

At the date of this prospectus, we have no shares in treasury.

Issuance of Shares

Except as expressly provided in our Articles of Association, our board of directors has general and unconditional authority to allot, grant options over, offer or otherwise deal with or dispose of any unissued shares in the company’s capital without the approval of our shareholders (whether forming part of the original or any increased share capital), either at a premium or at par, with or without preferred, deferred or other special rights or restrictions, whether in regard to dividend, voting, return of capital or otherwise and to such persons, on such terms and conditions, and at such times as the directors may decide, but so that no share shall be issued at a discount, except in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act. In accordance with its Articles of Association, we shall not issue bearer shares.

Our Articles of Association provide that at any time that there are Class A common shares in issue, additional Class B common shares may only be issued pursuant to (1) a share split, subdivision of shares or similar transaction or where a dividend or other distribution is paid by the issue of shares or rights to acquire shares or following capitalization of profits, (2) a merger, consolidation, or other business combination, or (3) an issuance of shares, including Class A common shares, whereby holders of the Class B common shares are entitled to purchase a number of Class B common shares that would allow them to maintain their proportional ownership interests in us (following an offer by us to each holder of Class B common shares to issue to such holder, upon the same economic terms and at the same price, such number of Class B common shares as would ensure such holder may maintain a proportional ownership interest in us pursuant to our Articles of Association). In light of: (a) the above provisions; (b) the fact that future transfers by holders of Class B common shares will generally result in those shares converting to Class A common shares, subject to limited exceptions as provided in the Articles of Association; and (c) the ten-to-one voting ratio between our Class B common shares and Class A common shares, means that holders of our Class B common shares will in many situations continue to maintain control of all matters requiring shareholder approval. This concentration of ownership and voting power will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters for the foreseeable future. For more information see “— Preemptive or Similar Rights.”

Our Articles of Association also provide that the issuance of non-voting common shares requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the of then-outstanding Class A common shares.

Fiscal Year

Our fiscal year begins on January 1 of each year and ends on December 31 of the same year.

Voting Rights

The holders of the Class A common shares and Class B common shares have identical rights, except that (1) the holder of Class B common shares is entitled to 10 votes per share, whereas holders of Class A common shares are entitled to one vote per share, (2) Class B common shares have certain conversion rights and (3) the holder of Class B common shares is entitled to maintain a proportional ownership interest in the event that additional Class A common shares are issued. For more information see “— Preemptive or Similar Rights” and “— Conversion.” The holders of Class A common shares and Class B common shares vote together as a single class on all matters (including the election of directors) submitted to a vote of shareholders, except as provided below and as otherwise required by law.

Our Articles of Association provide as follows regarding the respective rights of holders of Class A common shares and Class B common shares:

(1)

Class consents from the holders of Class A common shares or Class B common shares, as

154

TABLE OF CONTENTS

applicable, shall be required for any variation to the rights attached to their respective class of shares, however, the Directors may treat any two or more classes of shares as forming one class if they consider that all such classes would be affected in the same way by the proposal;

(2)

the rights conferred on holders of Class A common shares shall not be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Class B common shares and vice versa; and

(3)

the rights attaching to the Class A common shares and the Class B common shares shall not be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of shares with preferred or other rights, including, without limitation, shares with enhanced or weighted voting rights.

As set forth in the Articles of Association, the holders of Class A common shares and Class B common shares, respectively, do not have the right to vote separately if the number of authorized shares of such class is increased or decreased. Rather, the number of authorized Class A common shares and Class B common shares may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares of such class then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding Class A common shares and Class B common shares, voting together in a general meeting.

Preemptive or Similar Rights

The Class A common shares and Class B common shares are not entitled to preemptive rights upon transfer and are not subject to conversion (except as described below under “— Conversion”), redemption or sinking fund provisions.

The Class B common shares are entitled to maintain a proportional ownership interest in the event that additional Class A common shares are issued. As such, except for certain exceptions, including the issuance of Class A common shares in furtherance of this offering, if we issue Class A common shares, we must first make an offer to each holder of Class B common shares to issue to such holder on the same economic terms such number of Class B common shares as would ensure such holder may maintain a proportional ownership interest into us. This right to maintain a proportional ownership interest may be waived by all of the holders of Class B common shares.

Conversion

The outstanding Class B common shares are convertible at any time as follows: (1) at the option of the holder, a Class B common share may be converted at any time into one Class A common share or (2) upon the election of the holders of all of the then outstanding Class B common shares, all outstanding Class B common shares may be converted into a like number of Class A common shares. In addition, each Class B common share will convert automatically into one Class A common share upon any transfer, whether or not for value, except for certain transfers described in the Articles of Association, including transfers to affiliates, with the restrictions set forth thereto. Furthermore, each Class B common share will convert automatically into one Class A common share and no Class B common shares will be issued thereafter if, at any time, the voting power of outstanding Class B common shares represents less than 10% of the aggregate voting power of the Class A common shares and Class B common shares then outstanding.

No class of our common shares may be subdivided or combined unless the other class of common shares is concurrently subdivided or combined in the same proportion and in the same manner.

Equal Status

Except as expressly provided in our Articles of Association, Class A common shares and Class B common shares have the same rights and privileges and rank equally, share proportionally and are identical in all respects as to all matters. In the event of any merger, consolidation, scheme, arrangement or other business combination requiring the approval of our shareholders entitled to vote thereon (whether or not we are the surviving entity), the holders of Class A common shares shall have the right to receive, or the right to elect to receive, the same form of consideration as the holders of Class B common shares, and the holders of Class A common shares shall have the right to receive, or the right to elect to receive, at least the same amount of consideration on a per share basis as the holders of Class B common shares. In the event of any (1) tender or exchange offer to acquire any Class A common shares or Class B common shares by any

155

TABLE OF CONTENTS

third-party pursuant to an agreement to which we are a party, or (2) any tender or exchange offer by us to acquire any Class A common shares or Class B common shares, the holders of Class A common shares shall have the right to receive, or the right to elect to receive, the same form of consideration as the holders of Class B common shares, and the holders of Class A common shares shall have the right to receive, or the right to elect to receive, at least the same amount of consideration on a per share basis as the holders of Class B common shares.

Record Dates

For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at any general meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or shareholders entitled to receive dividend or other distribution payments, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other purpose, our board of directors may set a record date which shall not exceed forty (40) clear days prior to the date where the determination will be made.

General Meetings of Shareholders

As a condition of admission to a shareholders’ meeting, a shareholder must be duly registered as our shareholder at the applicable record date for that meeting and, in order to vote, all calls or installments then payable by such shareholder to us in respect of the shares that such shareholder holds must have been paid.

Subject to any special rights or restrictions as to voting then attached to any shares, at any general meeting every shareholder who is present in person or by proxy (or, in the case of a shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorized representative not being himself or herself a shareholder entitled to vote) shall have one vote per Class A common share and 10 votes per Class B common share.

As a Cayman Islands exempted company, we are not obliged by the Companies Act to call annual general meetings; however, the Articles of Association provide that in each year the company will hold an annual general meeting of shareholders, at a time determined by the board of directors, provided that our board of directors has the discretion whether or not to hold an annual general meeting in 2021. The agenda for an annual general meeting of shareholders will only include such items as have been included therein by the board of directors.

Also, we may, but are not required to (unless required by the laws of the Cayman Islands), hold other extraordinary general meetings during the year. General meetings of shareholders are generally expected to take place in São Paulo, Brazil, but may be held elsewhere if the directors so decide. To the extent permitted by law, annual general meetings may also be held virtually.

The Companies Act provides shareholders a limited right to request a general meeting and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting in default of a company’s Articles of Association. However, these rights may be provided in a company’s Articles of Association. Our Articles of Association provides that upon the requisition of one or more shareholders representing not less than one-third of the voting rights entitled to vote at general meetings, the board will convene an extraordinary general meeting and put the resolutions so requisitioned to a vote at such meeting. The Articles of Association provide no other right to put any proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings.

Subject to regulatory requirements, the annual general meeting and any extraordinary general meetings must be called by not less than five (5) clear days’ notice prior to the relevant shareholders meeting and convened by a notice, as discussed below. Alternatively, upon the prior consent of all holders entitled to receive notice, with regards to the annual general meeting, and the holders of two-thirds in par value of the shares entitled to attend and vote at an extraordinary general meeting, that meeting may be convened by a shorter notice and in a manner deemed appropriate by those holders.

We will give notice of each general meeting of shareholders by publication on its website and in any other manner that it may be required to follow in order to comply with Cayman Islands law, Nasdaq and SEC requirements. The holders of registered shares may be given notice of a shareholders’ meeting by means

156

TABLE OF CONTENTS

of letters sent to the addresses of those shareholders as registered in our shareholders’ register, or, subject to certain statutory requirements, by electronic means.

Holders whose shares are registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, which we expect will be the case for substantially all holders of Class A common shares, will not be a shareholder or member of the company and must rely on the procedures of DTC regarding notice of shareholders’ meetings and the exercise of rights of a holder of the Class A common shares.

A quorum for a general meeting consists of any one or more persons holding or representing by proxy not less than one-third of the aggregate voting power of all shares in issue and entitled to vote upon the business to be transacted, provided that such a quorum must also include (i) Oria Zenvia Co-investment Holdings, LP, Oria Zenvia Co-investment Holdings II, LP, Oria Tech Zenvia Co-investment — Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia, Oria Tech I Inovação Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia and any investment fund, limited partnership or equivalent entity managed by Oria Gestão de Recursos Ltda. (including any successor entity), or Oria, for so long as they hold Class B common shares, and (ii) Bobsin LLC or any affiliate of Cassio Bobsin for so long as it holds Class B common shares.

A resolution put to a vote at a general meeting shall be decided on a poll. An ordinary resolution to be passed by the shareholders at a general meeting requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by, or on behalf of, the shareholders entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy and voting at the meeting. A special resolution requires the affirmative vote on a poll of no less than two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders entitled to vote who are present in person or by proxy at a general meeting. Both ordinary resolutions and special resolutions may also be passed by a unanimous written resolution signed by all the shareholders of our Company, as permitted by the Companies Act and our Articles of Association.

Pursuant to our Articles of Association, general meetings of shareholders are to be chaired by the chairman of our board of directors or in his absence the vice-chairman of the board of directors. If both the chairman and vice-chairman of our board of directors are absent, the directors present at the meeting shall appoint one of them to be chairman of the general meeting. If neither the chairman nor another director is present at the general meeting within 15 minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, the shareholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote may elect any one of the shareholders to be chairman. The order of business at each meeting shall be determined by the chairman of the meeting, and he or she shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts and things as are necessary or desirable for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, the establishment of procedures for the maintenance of order and safety, limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments on the affairs of the Company, restrictions on entry to such meeting after the time prescribed for the commencement thereof, and the opening and closing of the polls. The chairman shall not have the right to vote in his capacity as chairman and shall not have a casting vote.

Liquidation Rights

If we are voluntarily wound up, the liquidator, after taking into account and giving effect to the rights of preferred and secured creditors and to any agreement between us and any creditors that the claims of such creditors shall be subordinated or otherwise deferred to the claims of any other creditors and to any contractual rights of set-off or netting of claims between us and any person or persons (including without limitation any bilateral or any multi-lateral set-off or netting arrangements between the company and any person or persons) and subject to any agreement between us and any person or persons to waive or limit the same, shall apply our property in satisfaction of its liabilities pari passu and subject thereto shall distribute the property amongst the shareholders according to their rights and interests into us

Special Matters

We may not without the prior written consent of (i) Oria for so long as it holds Class B common shares and (ii) Bobsin LLC for so long as it holds Class B common shares: change the number of directors; change the structure, function, and/or number of officers; amend our Articles of Association; vary the rights attaching to shares; approve any corporate restructuring, merger or consolidation of us with one or more constituent companies (as defined in the Companies Act), the contribution by us of any assets to any subsidiary and/or the creation of any joint venture by us; approve any business combination; approve the

157

TABLE OF CONTENTS

winding-up, liquidation or dissolution of us; or take certain actions in respect of its share capital as set out in the Articles of Association; register as an exempted limited duration company; or approve the transfer by way of our continuation to a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands.

Changes to Capital

Subject to the restrictions contained in the Articles of Association and summarized above in “— Special Matters,” we may from time to time by ordinary resolution:

•

increase our share capital by such sum, to be divided into shares of such amount, as the resolution shall prescribe;

•

consolidate and divide all or any of our share capital into shares of a larger amount than its existing shares;

•

convert all or any of our paid-up shares into stock and reconvert that stock into paid up shares of any denomination;

•

subdivide our existing shares or any of them into shares of a smaller amount, provided that in the subdivision the proportion between the amount paid and the amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced share shall be the same as it was in the case of the share from which the reduced share is derived; or

•

cancel any shares which, at the date of the passing of the resolution, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of our share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled.

Our shareholders may by special resolution, subject to confirmation by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands on an application by the Company for an order confirming such reduction, reduce its share capital or any capital redemption reserve in any manner permitted by law.

In addition, subject to the provisions of the Companies Act and our Articles of Association, we may:

•

issue shares on terms that they are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed;

•

purchase its own shares (including any redeemable shares); and

•

make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own shares in any manner authorized by the Companies Act, including out of its own capital.

Transfer of Shares

Subject to any applicable restrictions set forth in the Articles of Association, any of our shareholder may transfer all or any of his or her common shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or in the form prescribed by the Nasdaq or any other form approved by the Company’s board of directors.

The Class A common shares sold in this offering will be traded on the Nasdaq in book-entry form and may be transferred in accordance with our Articles of Association and the Nasdaq rules and regulations.

However, our board of directors may, in its absolute discretion, decline to register any transfer of any common share which is either not fully paid up to a person of whom it does not approve or is issued under any share incentive scheme for employees which contains a transfer restriction that is still applicable to such common share. The board of directors may also decline to register any transfer of any common share unless:

•

the instrument of transfer is lodged with us, accompanied by the certificate (if any) for the common shares to which it relates and such other evidence as our board of directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;

•

the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of shares;

•

the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required;

•

the common shares transferred are free of any lien in our favor; and

158

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the transfer is not to more than four joint holders.

If the directors refuse to register a transfer they are required, within fifteen business days after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, to send to the transferee notice of such refusal.

Share Repurchase

The Companies Act and the Articles of Association permit us to purchase our own shares, subject to certain restrictions. The board of directors may only exercise this power on our behalf, subject to the Companies Act, the Articles of Association and to any applicable requirements imposed from time to time by the SEC, the Nasdaq or any recognized stock exchange on which our securities are listed.

Dividends and Capitalization of Profits

We have not adopted a dividend policy with respect to payments of any future dividends by us. Subject to the Companies Act, our shareholders may, by resolution passed by a simple majority of the voting rights entitled to vote at a general meeting, declare dividends (including interim dividends) to be paid to shareholders but no dividend shall be declared in excess of the amount recommended by the board of directors. The board of directors may also declare dividends. Dividends may be declared and paid out of funds lawfully available to us. Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to shares and our Articles of Association, all dividends shall be paid in proportion to the number of Class A common shares or Class B common shares a shareholder holds at the date the dividend is declared (or such other date as may be set as a record date); but, (1) if any share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for dividend as from a particular date, that share shall rank for dividend accordingly, and (2) where we have shares in issue which are not fully paid up (as to par value) we may pay dividends in proportion to the amounts paid up on each share.

The holders of Class A common shares and Class B common shares shall be entitled to share equally in any dividends that may be declared in respect of our common shares from time to time. In the event that there is a capitalization of profits in the form of Class A common shares or Class B common shares, or rights to acquire Class A common shares or Class B common shares, (1) the holders of Class A common shares shall receive Class A common shares, or rights to acquire Class A common shares, as the case may be; and (2) the holders of Class B common shares shall receive Class B common shares, or rights to acquire Class B common shares, as the case may be.

Appointment, Disqualification and Removal of Directors

We are managed by our board of directors. The Articles of Association provide that, unless otherwise determined by a special resolution of shareholders, the board of directors will be composed of four (4) to nine (9) directors, with the number being determined by a majority of the directors then in office. There are no provisions relating to retirement of directors upon reaching any age limit. The Articles of Association also provide that, while our shares are admitted to trading on the Nasdaq, the board of directors must always comply with the residency and citizenship requirements of the U.S. securities laws applicable to foreign private issuers.

Oria for so long as it holds (i) at least 30% of our combined voting power of the Class A and Class B common shares then outstanding, may appoint up to four directors at its discretion and (ii) at least 10% of our combined voting power of the Class A and Class B common shares then outstanding, may appoint up to one director at its discretion (and is entitled at any time to remove substitute or replace such directors).

Bobsin LLC for so long as it holds (i) at least 30% of our combined voting power of Class A and Class B common shares then outstanding, may appoint up to three directors at its discretion and (ii) at least 10% of our combined voting power of Class A and Class B common shares then outstanding, may appoint up to two directors at its discretion (and is entitled at any time to remove substitute or replace such directors).

In addition for so long as both Oria and Bobsin LLC hold Class B common shares, they may jointly appoint two additional directors and are entitled at any time to jointly remove, substitute or replace such

159

TABLE OF CONTENTS

director. The board of directors shall have a chairman, for so long as both Oria and Bobsin LLC hold Class B common shares, which chairman will be appointed in rotation for a term of a year by each of them as prescribed in the Articles of Association, such right to be exercised initially by Bobsin LLC. Once neither Oria nor Bobsin LLC hold Class B common shares, the chairman will be elected by the board of directors then in office instead. The directors may elect a vice chairman of the board of directors.

Subject to the foregoing, the Articles of Association provide that directors shall be elected by an ordinary resolution of our shareholders, which requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast on the resolution by the shareholders entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, at the meeting. Each director shall be appointed and elected for a two-year term or until his or her death, resignation or removal, and is eligible for re-election.

By the listing date of this offering, the directors will be Jorge Steffens, Cassio Bobsin, Carlos Henrique Testolini, Eduardo Aspesi and Ana Dolores Moura Carneiro de Novaes (the latter upon consummation of this offering) . Eduardo Aspesi and Ana Dolores Moura Carneiro de Novaes are “independent” as that term is defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing standards of the Nasdaq. We intend to appoint one additional independent director within one year following the offering.

Any vacancies on the board of directors that arise other than in respect of appointments of the directors appointed by Oria or Bobsin LLC as set out above or upon the removal of a director by resolution passed at a general meeting can be filled by the remaining directors (notwithstanding that they may constitute less than a quorum). Any such appointment shall be as an interim director to fill such vacancy until the next annual general meeting of shareholders.

Subject to the foregoing, additions to the existing board (within the limits set pursuant to the Articles of Association) may be made by ordinary resolution of the shareholders.

Upon the completion of this offering, the board of directors will have in place an audit committee. See “Management — Audit Committee.”

Grounds for Removing a Director

A director may be removed with or without cause by ordinary resolution, save that the director appointed by Bobsin LLC may be removed by Bobsin LLC at its discretion and the director appointed by Oria may be removed by Oria at its discretion. The notice of general meeting must contain a statement of the intention to remove the director and must be served on the director not less than ten calendar days before the meeting. The director is entitled to attend the meeting and be heard on the motion for his removal.

The office of a director will be vacated automatically if he or she (1) becomes prohibited by law from being a director, (2) becomes bankrupt or makes an arrangement or composition with his creditors, (3) dies or is, in the opinion of all his co-directors, incapable by reason of mental disorder of discharging his duties as director, (4) resigns his office by notice to us or (5) has for more than six months been absent without permission of the directors from meetings of the board of directors held during that period, and the remaining directors resolve that his or her office be vacated.

Proceedings of the Board of Directors

Our Articles of Association provide that our business is to be managed and conducted by the board of directors, save that we may not without (i) the consent of Cassio Bobsin, or in his absence, a director appointed by him while there is such director and (ii) the consent of a director appointed by Oria while there is such director: create new classes of shares, issue new shares, options, warrants or convertible securities of similar nature conferring the right upon the holders thereof to subscribe for purchase or receive any class of shares or securities in our capital; capital reduction, repurchase, amortize or redeem any shares; approve the payment of any remuneration to a Director or executive Officer; approve any incentive plan (as set out in the Articles of Association); change our accounting practices except as required by applicable law; execute and/or terminate any shareholders’ agreement, quotaholders’ agreement, or any other agreements related to our interest in any subsidiary; approve our financial statements; observed rights of Bobsin LLC or any affiliate of Cassio Bobsin or Oria under their applicable registration rights agreement, to effect offerings securities by us, or hire any investment banks or service providers inherent to any such offerings; approve the

160

TABLE OF CONTENTS

listing and/or the delisting of our securities with any designated stock exchange; change our dividend policy and/or approve any dividend, create and/or use our reserves; approve any budget, as well as any amendment to an approved budget or increases above five percent (5%) on its global approved amount and/or ten percent (10%) in each line; acquire, sell or encumber any of our permanent assets, in one transaction or in a series of transactions, which value exceeds the equivalent of five million Brazilian Reais (R$5,000,000); approve any sale or encumbrance, for the benefit of a person of shares issued by any subsidiary or entities where we have an interest, or the admission of any new partner or shareholder in such subsidiaries; create or dissolve any permanent committees of the directors or committees where powers are delegated by the board of directors; carry out any investments outside the scope of our or our subsidiaries’ core business (as set out in the Articles of Association); incorporate any subsidiary (other than a wholly-owned subsidiary); acquire, sell or encumber the capital stock of entities in which we have an interest; appoint or terminate the engagement of any auditor that is not an Authorised Auditor as set out in the Articles of Association; provide any guarantee in respect of any person or related person of any of our shareholders, director and/or officers inter alia; appoint any officer; or approve the delegation of any powers by the board of directors.

The quorum necessary for the board meeting shall be a simple majority of the directors then in office (subject to there being a minimum of three directors present) and business at any meeting shall be decided by a majority of votes. In the case of an equality of votes, the chairman shall not have a casting vote.

Subject to the foregoing and the provisions of the Articles of Association, the board of directors may regulate its proceedings as they determine is appropriate. Board meetings shall be held at least once every calendar quarter and shall take place either in São Paulo, Brazil or at such other place as the directors may determine.

Subject to the provisions of the Articles of Association, to any directions given by ordinary resolution of the shareholders and the listing rules of the Nasdaq, the board of directors may from time to time at its discretion exercise all powers of Zenvia Inc., including, subject to the Companies Act, the power to issue debentures, bonds and other securities of the company, whether outright or as collateral security for any debt, liability or obligation of our company or of any third party.

Inspection of Books and Records

Other than Oria, that so long as it holds Class B common shares, will have certain inspection rights set forth in the Articles of Association, holders of our shares will have no general right under Cayman Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of the list of shareholders or corporate records of the Company. However, the board of directors may determine from time to time whether and to what extent our accounting records and books shall be open to inspection by shareholders who are not members of the board of directors. Notwithstanding the above, the Articles of Association provide shareholders with the right to receive annual financial statements. Such right to receive annual financial statements may be satisfied by publishing the same on the company’s website or filing such annual reports as we are required to file with the SEC.

The Class A common shares offered in this offering will be held through DTC, and DTC or Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC, will be recorded in the shareholders’ register as the holder of our Class A common shares.

Under Cayman Islands law, we must keep a register of shareholders that includes:

•

the names and addresses of the shareholders, a statement of the shares held by each member, and of the amount paid or agreed to be considered as paid, on the shares of each member;

•

whether voting rights attach to the shares in issue;

•

the date on which the name of any person was entered on the register as a member; and

•

the date on which any person ceased to be a member.

Under Cayman Islands law, our register of shareholders is prima facie evidence of the matters set out therein (i.e., the register of shareholders will raise a presumption of fact on the matters referred to above

161

TABLE OF CONTENTS

unless rebutted) and a shareholder registered in the register of shareholders is deemed as a matter of Cayman Islands law to have prima facie legal title to the shares as set against his or her name in the register of shareholders. Upon the completion of this offering, the register of shareholders will be immediately updated to record and give effect to the issuance of new Class A common shares in this offering. Once the register of shareholders has been updated, the shareholders recorded in the register of shareholders should be deemed to have legal title to the shares set against their name.

However, there are certain limited circumstances where an application may be made to a Cayman Islands court for a determination on whether the register of shareholders reflects the correct legal position. Further, the Cayman Islands court has the power to order that the register of shareholders maintained by a company should be rectified where it considers that the register of shareholders does not reflect the correct legal position. If an application for an order for rectification of the register of shareholders were made in respect of our ordinary shares, then the validity of such shares may be subject to re-examination by a Cayman Islands court.

Exempted Company

We are an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Act. The Companies Act distinguishes between ordinary resident companies and exempted companies. Any company that is registered in the Cayman Islands but conducts business mainly outside of the Cayman Islands may apply to be registered as an exempted company. The requirements for an exempted company are essentially the same as for an ordinary company except for the exemptions and privileges listed below:

•

an exempted company does not have to file an annual return of its shareholders with the Registrar of Companies;

•

an exempted company’s register of shareholders is not open to inspection;

•

an exempted company does not have to hold an annual general meeting;

•

an exempted company may obtain an undertaking against the imposition of any future taxation (such undertakings are usually given for 20 years in the first instance);

•

an exempted company may register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered in the Cayman Islands;

•

an exempted company may register as a limited duration company; and

•

an exempted company may register as a segregated portfolio company.

“Limited liability” means that the liability of each shareholder is limited to the amount unpaid by the shareholder on the shares of the company (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).

Upon the consummation of this offering, we will be subject to reporting and other informational requirements of the Exchange Act, as applicable to foreign private issuers.

Anti-Takeover Provisions in our Articles of Association

Some provisions of the Articles of Association may discourage, delay or prevent a change in our control or management that shareholders may consider favorable. In particular, our capital structure concentrates ownership of voting rights in the hands of Cassio Bobsin, Oria Zenvia Co-investment Holdings, LP, Oria Zenvia Co-investment Holdings II, LP, Oria Tech Zenvia Co-investment — Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia and Oria Tech I Inovação Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia. These provisions, which are summarized below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire our control to first negotiate with the board of directors. However, these provisions could also have the effect of discouraging others from attempting hostile takeovers and, consequently, they may also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the market price of the Class A common shares that often result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes

in our management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that shareholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

Two Classes of Common Shares

Our Class B common shares of are entitled to 10 votes per share, while the Class A common shares are entitled to one vote per share. Since Cassio Bobsin, Oria Zenvia Co-investment Holdings, LP, Oria Zenvia Co-investment Holdings II, LP, Oria Tech Zenvia Co-investment — Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia and Oria Tech I Inovação Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia own all of our Class B common shares, they have the ability to elect all directors and to determine the outcome of most matters submitted for a vote of shareholders. This concentrated voting control could discourage others from initiating any potential merger, takeover, or other change of control transaction that other shareholders may view as beneficial.

So long as Cassio Bobsin, Oria Zenvia Co-investment Holdings, LP, Oria Zenvia Co-investment Holdings II, LP, Oria Tech Zenvia Co-investment — Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia and Oria Tech I Inovação Fundo de Investimento em Participações Multiestratégia have the ability to determine the outcome of most matters submitted to a vote of shareholders as well as the overall management and direction of Zenvia Inc., third parties may be deterred in their willingness to make an unsolicited merger, takeover, or other change of control proposal, or to engage in a proxy contest for the election of directors. As a result, the fact that we have two classes of common shares may have the effect of depriving you as a holder of Class A common shares of an opportunity to sell your Class A common shares at a premium over prevailing market prices and make it more difficult to replace the directors and management of Zenvia Inc.

Preferred Shares

Our board of directors is given wide powers to issue one or more classes or series of shares with preferred rights. Such preferences may include, for example, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges, enhanced voting powers and liquidation preferences.

Despite the anti-takeover provisions described above, under Cayman Islands law, our board of directors may only exercise the rights and powers granted to them under the Articles of Association, for what they believe in good faith to be in our best interests.

Protection of Non-Controlling Shareholders

The Grand Court of the Cayman Islands may, on the application of shareholders holding not less than one fifth of our shares in issue, appoint an inspector to examine the Company’s affairs and report thereon in a manner as the Grand Court shall direct.

Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, any shareholder may petition the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands which may make a winding up order, if the court is of the opinion that this winding up is just and equitable.

Notwithstanding the U.S. securities laws and regulations that are applicable to us, general corporate claims against us by our shareholders must, as a general rule, be based on the general laws of contract or tort applicable in the Cayman Islands or their individual rights as shareholders as established by our Articles of Association.

The Cayman Islands courts ordinarily would be expected to follow English case law precedents, which permit a minority shareholder to commence a representative action against us, or derivative actions in our name, to challenge (1) an act which is ultra vires or illegal, (2) an act which constitutes a fraud against the minority and the wrongdoers themselves control Zenvia Inc., and (3) an irregularity in the passing of a resolution that requires a qualified (or special) majority.

Registration Rights and Restricted Shares

Effective upon consummation of this offering, we intend to enter into a registration rights agreement with substantially all of our pre-IPO shareholders pursuant to which we will grant them customary

163

TABLE OF CONTENTS

registration rights for the resale of the Class A common shares held by them (including Class A common shares acquired upon conversion of Class B common shares). Registration of these shares under the Securities Act would result in these shares becoming freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act immediately upon the effectiveness of the registration, except for shares purchased by affiliates. Class A common shares covered by a registration statement will be eligible for sales in the public market upon the expiration, or their release from the terms of, the lock-up agreements described below. In addition, even if such shareholders do not exercise their formal registration rights, they or entities controlled by them or their permitted transferees will, subject to the lock-up agreements described below, be able to sell their shares in the public market from time to time without registering them, subject to certain limitations on the timing, amount and method of those sales imposed by regulations promulgated by the SEC. We, all of our directors, officers and substantially all of our shareholders have agreed to enter into lock-up agreements that restrict us and them, subject to specified exceptions, from selling or otherwise disposing of any shares for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus without the prior consent of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC. However, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC may, in their sole discretion and without notice, release all or any portion of the shares from the restrictions in any of the lock-up agreements described above. In addition, these lock-up agreements are subject to the exceptions described in “Underwriting — Lock-up Agreements,” including the right for us to issue new shares if we carry out an acquisition or enter into a merger, joint venture or strategic participation.

Principal Differences between Cayman Islands and U.S. Corporate Law

The Companies Act was modelled originally after similar laws in England and Wales but does not follow subsequent statutory enactments in England and Wales. In addition, the Companies Act differs from laws applicable to U.S. corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of the significant differences between the provisions of the Companies Act applicable to us and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders.

Mergers and Similar Arrangements

In certain circumstances the Companies Act allows for mergers or consolidations between two Cayman Islands companies, or between a Cayman Islands company and a company incorporated in another jurisdiction (provided that is facilitated by the laws of that other jurisdiction).

Where the merger or consolidation is between two Cayman Islands companies, the directors of each company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation, containing certain prescribed information. That plan or merger or consolidation must then be authorized by either (a) a special resolution (usually a majority of 662∕3% in value) of the shareholders of each company; or (b) such other authorization, if any, as may be specified in such company’s articles of association. No shareholder resolution is required for a merger between a parent company (i.e., a company that owns at least 90% of the issued shares of each class in a subsidiary company) and its subsidiary company. The consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security interest of a constituent company must be obtained, unless the court waives such requirement. If the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies is satisfied that the requirements of the Companies Act (which includes certain other formalities) have been complied with, the Registrar of Companies will register the plan of merger or consolidation. Where the merger or consolidation involves a foreign company, the procedure is similar, save that with respect to the foreign company, the director of the Cayman Islands company is required to make a declaration to the effect that, having made due enquiry, he is of the opinion that the requirements set out below have been met: (i) that the merger or consolidation is permitted or not prohibited by the constitutional documents of the foreign company and by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the foreign company is incorporated, and that those laws and any requirements of those constitutional documents have been or will be complied with; (ii) that no petition or other similar proceeding has been filed and remains outstanding or order made or resolution adopted to wind up or liquidate the foreign company in any jurisdictions; (iii) that no receiver, trustee, administrator or other similar person has been appointed in any jurisdiction and is acting in respect of the foreign company, its affairs or property or any part thereof; (iv) that no scheme, order, compromise or other similar arrangement has been entered into or made in any jurisdiction whereby the rights of creditors of the foreign company are and continue to be suspended or restricted.

164

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Where the surviving company is the Cayman Islands company, the director of the Cayman Islands company is further required to make a declaration to the effect that, having made due enquiry, he is of the opinion that the requirements set out below have been met: (i) that the foreign company is able to pay its debts as they fall due and that the merger or consolidated is bona fide and not intended to defraud unsecured creditors of the foreign company; (ii) that in respect of the transfer of any security interest granted by the foreign company to the surviving or consolidated company (a) consent or approval to the transfer has been obtained, released or waived; (b) the transfer is permitted by and has been approved in accordance with the constitutional documents of the foreign company; and (c) the laws of the jurisdiction of the foreign company with respect to the transfer have been or will be complied with; (iii) that the foreign company will, upon the merger or consolidation becoming effective, cease to be incorporated, registered or exist under the laws of the relevant foreign jurisdiction; and (iv) that there is no other reason why it would be against the public interest to permit the merger or consolidation.

Where the above procedures are adopted, the Companies Act provides for a right of dissenting shareholders to be paid a payment of the fair value of his shares upon their dissenting to the merger or consolidation if they follow a prescribed procedure. In essence, that procedure is as follows (a) the shareholder must give his written objection to the merger or consolidation to the constituent company before the vote on the merger or consolidation, including a statement that the shareholder proposes to demand payment for his shares if the merger or consolidation is authorized by the vote; (b) within 20 days following the date on which the merger or consolidation is approved by the shareholders, the constituent company must give written notice to each shareholder who made a written objection; (c) a shareholder must within 20 days following receipt of such notice from the constituent company, give the constituent company a written notice of his intention to dissent including, among other details, a demand for payment of the fair value of his shares; (d) within seven days following the date of the expiration of the period set out in paragraph (b) above or seven days following the date on which the plan of merger or consolidation is filed, whichever is later, the constituent company, the surviving company or the consolidated company must make a written offer to each dissenting shareholder to purchase his shares at a price that the company determines is the fair value and if the company and the shareholder agree the price within 30 days following the date on which the offer was made, the company must pay the shareholder such amount; (e) if the company and the shareholder fail to agree a price within such 30 day period, within 20 days following the date on which such 30 day period expires, the company (and any dissenting shareholder) must file a petition with the Cayman Islands Grand Court to determine the fair value and such petition must be accompanied by a list of the names and addresses of the dissenting shareholders with whom agreements as to the fair value of their shares have not been reached by the company. At the hearing of that petition, the court has the power to determine the fair value of the shares together with a fair rate of interest, if any, to be paid by the company upon the amount determined to be the fair value. Any dissenting shareholder whose name appears on the list filed by the company may participate fully in all proceedings until the determination of fair value is reached. These rights of a dissenting shareholder are not be available in certain circumstances, for example, to dissenters holding shares of any class in respect of which an open market exists on a recognized stock exchange or recognized interdealer quotation system at the relevant date or where the consideration for such shares to be contributed are shares of any company listed on a national securities exchange or shares of the surviving or consolidated company.

Moreover, Cayman Islands law also has separate statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction or amalgamation of companies in certain circumstances, schemes of arrangement will generally be more suited for complex mergers or other transactions involving widely held companies, commonly referred to in the Cayman Islands as a “scheme of arrangement” which may be tantamount to a merger. In the event that a merger was sought pursuant to a scheme of arrangement (the procedure of which are more rigorous and take longer to complete than the procedures typically required to consummate a merger in the United States), the arrangement in question must be approved by a majority in number of each class of shareholders and creditors with whom the arrangement is to be made, and who must in addition represent three-fourths in value of each such class of shareholders or creditors, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting, or meeting summoned for that purpose. The convening of the meetings and subsequently the terms of the arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. While a dissenting shareholder would have the right to express to the court the view that the transaction should not be approved, the court can be expected to approve the arrangement if it satisfies itself that:

165

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

we are not proposing to act illegally or beyond the scope of our corporate authority and the statutory provisions as to majority vote have been complied with;

•

the shareholders have been fairly represented at the meeting in question;

•

the arrangement is such as a businessman would reasonably approve; and

•

the arrangement is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision of the Companies Act or that would amount to a “fraud on the minority.”

If a scheme of arrangement or takeover offer (as described below) is approved, any dissenting shareholder would have no rights comparable to appraisal rights, which would otherwise ordinarily be available to dissenting shareholders of United States corporations, providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares.

Squeeze-Out Provisions

When a takeover offer is made and accepted by holders of 90.0% of the shares to whom the offer is made within four months, the offeror may, within a two-month period, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares on the terms of the offer. An objection may be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands but is unlikely to succeed unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith, collusion or inequitable treatment of the shareholders.

Further, transactions similar to a merger, reconstruction and/or an amalgamation may in some circumstances be achieved through other means to these statutory provisions, such as a share capital exchange, asset acquisition or control, through contractual arrangements, of an operating business.

Shareholders’ Suits

Our Cayman Islands counsel is not aware of any reported class action having been brought in a Cayman Islands court. Derivative actions have been brought in the Cayman Islands courts, and the Cayman Islands courts have confirmed the availability for such actions. In most cases, we will be the proper plaintiff in any claim based on a breach of duty owed to us, and a claim against (for example) our officers or directors usually may not be brought by a shareholder. However, based on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority and be applied by a court in the Cayman Islands, exceptions to the foregoing principle apply in circumstances in which:

•

a company is acting or proposing to act illegally or beyond the scope of its authority;

•

the act complained of, although not beyond the scope of the authority, could be effected if duly authorized by more than the number of votes which have actually been obtained; or

•

those who control the company are perpetrating a “fraud on the minority.”

A shareholder may have a direct right of action against us where the individual rights of that shareholder have been infringed or are about to be infringed.

Corporate Governance

Cayman Islands law restricts transactions between a company and its directors unless there are provisions in the Articles of Association which provide a mechanism to alleviate possible conflicts of interest. Additionally, Cayman Islands law imposes on directors’ duties of care and skill and fiduciary duties to the companies which they serve. Under our Articles of Association, a director must disclose the nature and extent of his interest in any contract or arrangement, and following such disclosure and subject to any separate requirement under applicable law or the listing rules of the Nasdaq, and unless disqualified by the chairman of the relevant meeting, the interested director may vote in respect of any transaction or arrangement in which he or she is interested. The interested director shall be counted in the quorum at such meeting and the resolution may be passed by a majority of the directors present at the meeting.

Subject to the foregoing and our Articles of Association, our directors may exercise all the powers of Zenvia Inc. to vote compensation to themselves or any member of their body in the absence of an independent quorum.

166

TABLE OF CONTENTS

As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted to follow home country practice in lieu of certain Nasdaq corporate governance rules, subject to certain requirements. We currently rely, and will continue to rely, on the foreign private issuer exemption with respect to the following rules:

•

Nasdaq Rule 5605(b), which requires that independent directors comprise a majority of a company’s board of directors. As allowed by the laws of the Cayman Islands, independent directors do not comprise a majority of our board of directors.

•

Nasdaq Rule 5605(e)(1), which requires that a company have a nomination committee comprised solely of “independent directors” as defined by Nasdaq. As allowed by the laws of the Cayman Islands, we do not have a nomination committee, nor do we have any current intention to establish one.

•

Nasdaq Rule 5605(d) & (e), which require that compensation for our executive officers and selection of our director nominees be determined by a majority of independent directors. As allowed by the laws of the Cayman Islands, we do not have a nomination and corporate governance committee or remuneration committee nor do we have any current intention to establish either.

Borrowing Powers

Our directors may exercise all the powers of Zenvia Inc. to borrow money and to mortgage or charge its undertaking, property and assets (present and future) and uncalled capital or any part thereof and to issue debentures, debenture stock, mortgages, bonds and other such securities whether outright or as security for any debt, liability or obligation of Zenvia Inc. or of any third party. Such powers may be varied by a special resolution of shareholders (requiring a two-thirds majority vote).

Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of Liability

The Companies Act does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide for indemnification of directors and officers, except to the extent that it may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our Articles of Association provides that we shall indemnify and hold harmless our directors and officers against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts incurred or sustained by such directors or officers, other than by reason of such person’s dishonesty, willful default or fraud, in or about the conduct of our company’s business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of his duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such director or officer in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil, criminal or other proceedings concerning us or our affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere. This standard of conduct is generally the same as permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law for a Delaware corporation.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling the Company under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Directors’ and Controlling Shareholders’ Fiduciary Duties

As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a director of a Cayman Islands company is in the position of a fiduciary with respect to the company. Accordingly, directors owe fiduciary duties to their companies to act bona fide in what they consider to be the best interests of the company, to exercise their powers for the purposes for which they are conferred and not to place themselves in a position where there is a conflict between their personal interests and their duty to the company. Accordingly, a director owes a company a duty not to make a profit based on his or her position as director (unless the company permits him or her to do so) and a duty not to put himself or herself in a position where the interests of the company conflict with his or her personal interest or his or her duty to a third party. However, this obligation may be varied by the company’s articles of association, which may permit a director to vote on a matter in which he has a personal interest provided that he has disclosed that nature of his interest to the board of directors. Our Articles of Association provides that a director must disclose the nature and extent of his or her interest in

167

TABLE OF CONTENTS

any contract or arrangement, and following such disclosure and subject to any separate requirement under applicable law or the listing rules of the Nasdaq, and unless disqualified by the chairman of the relevant meeting, such director may vote in respect of any transaction or arrangement in which he or she is interested and may be counted in the quorum at the meeting.

A director of a Cayman Islands company also owes to the company duties to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his functions and to exercise reasonable skill, care and diligence, which has both objective and subjective elements. Recent Cayman Islands case law confirmed that directors must exercise the care, skill and diligence that would be exercised by a reasonably diligent person having the general knowledge, skill and experience reasonably to be expected of a person acting as a director. Additionally, a director must exercise the knowledge, skill and experience which he or she actually possesses.

A general notice may be given to the board of directors to the effect that (1) the director is a member or officer of a specified company or firm and is to be regarded as interested in any contract or arrangement which may after the date of the notice be made with that company or firm; or (2) he or she is to be regarded as interested in any contract or arrangement which may after the date of the notice to the board of directors be made with a specified person who is connected with him or her, will be deemed sufficient declaration of interest. This notice shall specify the nature of the interest in question. Following the disclosure being made pursuant to our Articles of Association and subject to any separate requirement under applicable law or the listing rules of the Nasdaq, and unless disqualified by the chairman of the relevant meeting, a director may vote in respect of any transaction or arrangement in which he or she is interested and may be counted in the quorum at the meeting.

In comparison, under Delaware corporate law, a director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This duty has two components: the duty of care and the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself or herself of, and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He or she must not use his or her corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fair value to the corporation.

Furthermore, as a matter of Cayman Islands law and in contrast to the position under Delaware corporate law, controlling shareholders of Cayman Islands companies do not owe fiduciary duties to those companies, other than the limited duty that applies to all shareholders to exercise their votes to amend a company’s articles of association in good faith in the interests of the company. The absence of this minority shareholder protection might impact the ability of minority shareholders to protect their interests.

Shareholder Proposals

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a shareholder has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with the notice provisions in the governing documents. The Delaware General Corporation Law does not provide shareholders an express right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, but Delaware corporations generally afford shareholders an opportunity to make proposals and nominations provided that they comply with the notice provisions in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governing documents, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings.

The Companies Act provides shareholders with only limited rights to requisition a general meeting and does not provide shareholders with any right to put any proposal before a general meeting. However, these

168

TABLE OF CONTENTS

rights may be provided in a company’s articles of association. Our Articles of Association provides that upon the requisition of one or more shareholders representing not less than one-third of the voting rights entitled to vote at general meetings, the board will convene an extraordinary general meeting and put the resolutions so requisitioned to a vote at such meeting. The Articles of Association provide no other right to put any proposals before annual general meetings or extraordinary general meetings.

Cumulative Voting

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation specifically provides for it. Cumulative voting potentially facilitates the representation of minority shareholders on a board of directors since it permits the minority shareholder to cast all the votes to which the shareholder is entitled on a single director, which increases the shareholder’s voting power with respect to electing such director. As permitted under Cayman Islands law, our Articles of Association does not provide for cumulative voting. As a result, our shareholders are not afforded any less protections or rights on this issue than shareholders of a Delaware corporation.

Removal of Directors

The office of a director shall be vacated automatically if, among other things, he or she (1) becomes prohibited by law from being a director, (2) becomes bankrupt or makes an arrangement or composition with his creditors, (3) dies or is, in the opinion of all his co-directors, incapable by reason of mental disorder of discharging his duties as director (4) resigns his office by notice to us or (5) has for more than six months been absent without permission of the directors from meetings of the board of directors held during that period, and the remaining directors resolve that his/her office be vacated.

Transaction with Interested Shareholders

The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that; unless the corporation has specifically elected not to be governed by this statute, it is prohibited from engaging in certain business combinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that this person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholder generally is a person or a group who or which owns or owned 15% or more of the target’s outstanding voting shares or who or which is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and owned 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting shares within the past three years. This has the effect of limiting the ability of a potential acquirer to make a two-tiered bid for the target in which all shareholders would not be treated equally. The statute does not apply if, among other things, prior to the date on which the shareholder becomes an interested shareholder, the board of directors approves either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the person becoming an interested shareholder. This encourages any potential acquirer of a Delaware corporation to negotiate the terms of any acquisition transaction with the target’s board of directors.

Cayman Islands law has no comparable statute. As a result, we cannot avail itself of the types of protections afforded by the Delaware business combination statute. However, although Cayman Islands law does not regulate transactions between a company and its significant shareholders, it does provide that the board of directors owe duties to ensure that these transactions are entered into bona fide in the best interests of the company and for a proper corporate purpose and, as noted above, a transaction may be subject to challenge if it has the effect of constituting a fraud on the minority shareholders.

Dissolution; Winding Up

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, unless the board of directors approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding 100% of the total voting power of the corporation. If the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors, it may be approved by a simple majority of the corporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority voting requirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. Under Cayman Islands law, a company may be wound up by either an order of the courts of the Cayman Islands or by a special resolution of its members or, if the company resolves by ordinary resolution that it be wound up because it is unable to pay its debts as they fall due. The court has authority to order winding up in a number of specified circumstances including where it is, in the opinion of the court, just and equitable to do so.

169

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Under the Companies Act, we may be dissolved, liquidated or wound up by a special resolution of shareholders (requiring a two-thirds majority vote). Our Articles of Association also give its board of directors the authority to petition the Cayman Islands Court to wind up Zenvia.

Variation of Rights of Shares

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of that class, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Under our Articles of Association, if the share capital is divided into more than one class of shares, the rights attached to any class may only be varied with the written consent of the holders of two-thirds of the shares of that class or the sanction of a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the shares of that class.

Also, except with respect to share capital (as described above), alterations to our Articles of Association may only be made by special resolution of shareholders (requiring a two-thirds majority vote).

Amendment of Governing Documents

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, a corporation’s certificate of incorporation may be amended only if adopted and declared advisable by the board of directors and approved by a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, and the bylaws may be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote and may, if so provided in the certificate of incorporation, also be amended by the board of directors. Under Cayman Islands law, our Articles of Association generally (and save for certain amendments to share capital described in this section) may only be amended by special resolution of shareholders (requiring a two-thirds majority vote).

Rights of Non-Resident or Foreign Shareholders

There are no limitations imposed by our Articles of Association on the rights of non-resident or foreign shareholders to hold or exercise voting rights on our shares. In addition, there are no provisions in the Articles of Association governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed.

Handling of Mail

Mail addressed to us and received at our registered office will be forwarded unopened to the forwarding address, which will be supplied by us. None of us, our directors, officers, advisors or service providers (including the organization which provides registered office services in the Cayman Islands) will bear any responsibility for any delay howsoever caused in mail reaching the forwarding address.

CLASS A COMMON SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Class A common shares, and we cannot assure you that a significant public market for our Class A common shares will develop or be sustained after this offering. Future sales of substantial amounts of our Class A common shares in the public market after this offering, or the possibility of these sales occurring, could materially and adversely affect the prevailing market prices. Furthermore, since only a limited number of Class A common shares will be available for sale shortly after this offering because of contractual and legal restrictions on resale described below, sales of substantial amounts of Class A common shares in the public market after those restrictions lapse could adversely affect the prevailing market price for our Class A common shares, as well as our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

Upon the completion of this offering, 13,108,801 Class A common shares will be outstanding (assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional Class A common shares). The Class A common shares to be sold in this offering by us will be freely tradable, except that any Class A common shares acquired by our “affiliates,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, in this offering may only be sold in compliance with the limitations described below. The remaining Class B common shares outstanding after this offering, representing 64.39% of our outstanding shares, will be held by our current shareholders and restricted as a result of securities laws or lock-up agreements as described below. Following the expiration of the lock-up period, all Class B common shares (as converted into Class A common shares in the event of any such sale) will be eligible for resale in compliance with Rule 144 or Rule 701. “Restricted securities” as defined under Rule 144 were issued and sold by us in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. These Class A common shares may be sold in the public market only if registered or pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144 or Rule 701 under the Securities Act.

Lock-up Agreements

Prior to this offering, we, all of our directors, officers and substantially all of our shareholders have agreed with the underwriters that, for a period of 180 days following the date of this prospectus, we or they will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant an option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any of our Class A common shares, or any options or warrants to purchase our Class A common shares or any securities so owned convertible into or exchangeable for our Class A common shares, subject to specified exceptions, as set forth under “Underwriting.”Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Morgan Stanley& Co. LLC on behalf of the underwriters may, in their sole discretion, at any time without prior notice, release all or any portion of the Class A common shares from the restrictions in any such agreement.

Rule 144

A non-affiliated person who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least one year would be entitled to sell those shares without regard to the provisions of Rule 144.

A person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is deemed to be an affiliate of ours and who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least six months would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of one percent of the then outstanding shares of our Class A common shares or the average weekly trading volume of our Class A common shares on the during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Such sales are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us.

Rule 701

Rule 701 generally allows a shareholder who purchased Class A common shares pursuant to a written compensatory plan or contract and who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of us during the immediately

preceding 90 days to sell these Class A common shares in reliance upon Rule 144, but without being required to comply with the public information, holding period, volume limitation, or notice provisions of Rule 144. Rule 701 also permits affiliates of our company to sell their Rule 701 Class A common shares under Rule 144 without complying with the holding period requirements of Rule 144. All holders of Rule 701 Class A common shares, however, are required to wait until 90 days after the date of this prospectus before selling such Class A common shares pursuant to Rule 701.

Registration Rights

Effective upon consummation of this offering, we intend to enter into a registration rights agreement with substantially all of our pre-IPO shareholders pursuant to which we will grant them customary registration rights for the resale of the Class A common shares held by them (including Class A common shares acquired upon conversion of Class B common shares). Registration of these shares under the Securities Act would result in these shares becoming freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act immediately upon the effectiveness of the registration, except for shares purchased by affiliates. Class A common shares covered by a registration statement will be eligible for sales in the public market upon the expiration, or their release from the terms of, the lock-up agreements described above. Any sales of securities by these shareholders could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our Class A common shares. See “Principal Shareholders — Registration Rights Agreement.”

Equity Incentive Plan

We intend to file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act following this offering to register all of the Class A common shares issued or reserved for issuance under our incentive plan. See “Management — Post-IPO Equity Incentive Plan.” We expect to file this registration statement as soon as practicable after this offering. Class A common shares covered by this registration statement will be eligible for sale in the public market, upon the expiration or release from the terms of the lock-up agreements, and subject to vesting of such Class A common shares.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

CERTAIN TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following summary contains a description of material Cayman Islands and U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our Class A common shares. It does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase the Class A common shares, is not applicable to all categories of investors, some of which may be subject to special rules, and does not address all of the Cayman Islands and U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to any particular holder. The summary is based upon the tax laws of the Cayman Islands and the United States and regulations thereunder as of the date hereof, which are subject to change.

Prospective purchasers of our Class A common shares should consult their own tax advisors about the particular Cayman Islands and U.S. federal, state, local and other tax consequences to them of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our Class A common shares.

Certain Cayman Islands Tax Considerations

The Cayman Islands laws currently levy no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or appreciation and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty or withholding tax applicable to us or to any holder of Class A common shares. There are no other taxes likely to be material to us levied by the government of the Cayman Islands except for stamp duties which may be applicable on instruments executed in, or after execution brought within the jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands. No stamp duty is payable in the Cayman Islands on transfers of shares of Cayman Islands companies except those which hold interests in land in the Cayman Islands. The Cayman Islands is not party to any double tax treaties which are applicable to any payments made by or to our company. There are no exchange control regulations or currency restrictions in the Cayman Islands.

As a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability, we are entitled, upon application, to receive an undertaking as to tax concessions pursuant to Section 6 of the Tax Concessions Law (2018 Revision). This undertaking would provide that, for a period of 20 years from the date of issue of the undertaking, no law thereafter enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any taxes to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciation will apply to us or our operations.

Payments of dividends and capital in respect of our Class A common shares will not be subject to taxation in the Cayman Islands and no withholding will be required on the payment of a dividend or capital to any holder of our Class A common shares, nor will gains derived from the disposal of our Class A common shares be subject to Cayman Islands income or corporation tax.

There is no income tax treaty or convention currently in effect between the United States and the Cayman Islands.

Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following discussion describes certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Class A common shares as of the date hereof. This discussion deals only with Class A common shares that are held as capital assets by a U.S. Holder (as defined below).

As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of our Class A common shares that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, any of the following:

•

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

•

a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

•

an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

•

a trust if it (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable United States Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

174

TABLE OF CONTENTS

This discussion is based upon provisions of the Code and regulations, rulings and judicial decisions thereunder as of the date hereof. Those authorities may be changed, perhaps retroactively, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those summarized below.

This discussion does not represent a detailed description of the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to you if you are subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, including if you are:

•

a dealer or broker in securities or currencies;

•

a financial institution;

•

a regulated investment company;

•

a real estate investment trust;

•

an insurance company;

•

a tax-exempt organization;

•

a person holding our Class A common shares as part of a hedging, integrated or conversion transaction, a constructive sale or a straddle;

•

a trader in securities that has elected the mark-to-market method of accounting for your securities;

•

a person liable for alternative minimum tax;

•

a person who owns or is deemed to own 10% or more of all of our outstanding shares of stock (by vote or value);

•

a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

•

a person required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to our Class A common shares as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement; or

•

a person whose “functional currency” for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar.

If a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our Class A common shares, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partnership or partner of a partnership holding our Class A common shares, you should consult your tax advisors.

This summary does not contain a detailed description of all the U.S. federal income tax consequences to you in light of your particular circumstances and does not address the Medicare tax on net investment income or the effects of any state, local or non-United States tax laws. If you are considering the purchase of our Class A common shares, you should consult your own tax advisors concerning the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences to you of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Class A common shares, as well as the consequences to you arising under other U.S. federal tax laws (such as estate and gift tax laws) and the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.

Taxation of Dividends

Subject to the discussion under “— Passive Foreign Investment Company” below, the gross amount of distributions on our Class A common shares will be taxable as dividends to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent that the amount of any distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits for a taxable year, the distribution will first be treated as a tax-free return of capital, causing a reduction in the tax basis of the Class A common shares, and to the extent the amount of the distribution exceeds your tax basis, the excess will be taxed as capital gain recognized on a sale or exchange (as discussed below under “— Taxation of Sales or Exchanges”). We do not, however, expect to determine earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. Therefore, you should expect that a distribution will generally be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

175

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Any dividends that you receive (including any withheld taxes) will be includable in your gross income as ordinary income on the day actually or constructively received by you. Such dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations under the Code. With respect to non-corporate U.S. investors, certain dividends received from a qualified foreign corporation may be subject to reduced rates of taxation. A foreign corporation is treated as a qualified foreign corporation with respect to dividends paid by that corporation on shares that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. United States Treasury Department guidance indicates that our Class A common shares, which will be listed on the Nasdaq, will be readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. There can be no assurance, however, that our Class A common shares will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in later years. Non-corporate holders that do not meet a minimum holding period requirement during which they are not protected from the risk of loss or that elect to treat the dividend income as “investment income” pursuant to Section 163(d)(4) of the Code will not be eligible for the reduced rates of taxation regardless of our status as a qualified foreign corporation. In addition, the rate reduction will not apply to dividends if the recipient of a dividend is obligated to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property. This disallowance applies even if the minimum holding period has been met.

However, notwithstanding the foregoing, non-corporate U.S. Holders will not be eligible for reduced rates of taxation on any dividends received from us if we are a passive foreign investment company (as discussed below under “— Passive Foreign Investment Company”) in the taxable year in which such dividends are paid or in the preceding taxable year.

For purposes of calculating the foreign tax credit, dividends paid on our Class A common shares will be treated as income from sources outside the United States and will generally constitute passive category income. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex. You are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under your particular circumstances.

Distributions of Class A common shares, or rights to subscribe for Class A common shares, which are received as part of a pro rata distribution to all of our shareholders generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax.

Taxation of Sales or Exchanges

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, you will recognize taxable gain or loss on any sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of Class A common shares in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized for the Class A common shares and your tax basis in the Class A common shares, both determined in U.S. dollars. Subject to the discussion under “— Passive Foreign Investment Company” below, such gain or loss will generally be capital gain or loss and will generally be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held the Class A common shares for more than one year. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. Holders are eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any gain or loss recognized by you will generally be treated as U.S. source gain or loss.

Passive Foreign Investment Company

Based on the past and projected composition of our income and assets, and the valuation of our assets, including goodwill, we do not believe we were a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for our most recent taxable year, and we do not expect to become a PFIC in the current taxable year or the foreseeable future, although there can be no assurance in this regard.

In general, for any taxable year, we will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes if either (i) 75% or more of our gross income in that taxable year is passive income or (ii) the average percentage of our assets (which includes cash) by value in that taxable year which produce, or are held for the production of, passive income is at least 50%. For this purpose, passive income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties and rents (other than royalties and rents derived in the active conduct of a trade or business and not derived from a related person). If we own at least 25% (by value) of the stock of another corporation, for purposes of determining whether we are a PFIC, we will be treated as owning our proportionate share of the other corporation’s assets and receiving our proportionate share of the other corporation’s income.

176

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The determination of whether we are a PFIC is made annually. Accordingly, it is possible that our PFIC status may change due to changes in our asset or income composition. Because we have valued our goodwill based on the expected market value of our Class A common shares, a decrease in the price of our Class A common shares may also result in our becoming a PFIC. If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which you hold our Class A common shares, you will be subject to special tax rules discussed below.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which you hold our Class A common shares and you do not make a timely mark-to-market election, as described below, you will be subject to special tax rules with respect to any “excess distribution” received and any gain realized from a sale or other disposition, including a pledge, of Class A common shares. Distributions received in a taxable year will be treated as excess distributions to the extent that they are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received during the shorter of the three preceding taxable years or your holding period for the Class A common shares. Under these special tax rules:

•

the excess distribution or gain will be allocated ratably over your holding period for the Class A common shares,

•

the amount allocated to the current taxable year, and any taxable year prior to the first taxable year in which we were a PFIC, will be treated as ordinary income, and

•

the amount allocated to each other year will be subject to tax at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the resulting tax attributable to each such year.

Although the determination of whether we are a PFIC is made annually, if we are a PFIC for any taxable year in which you hold our Class A common shares, you will generally be subject to the special tax rules described above for that year and for each subsequent year in which you hold the Class A common shares (even if we do not qualify as a PFIC in such subsequent years). However, if we cease to be a PFIC, you can avoid the continuing impact of the PFIC rules by making a special election to recognize gain as if your Class A common shares had been sold on the last day of the last taxable year during which we were a PFIC. You are urged to consult your own tax advisor about this election.

In lieu of being subject to the special tax rules discussed above, if we are a PFIC for any taxable year in which you hold our Class A common shares, you may make a mark-to-market election with respect to your Class A common shares provided such Class A common shares are treated as “marketable stock.” The Class A common shares generally will be treated as marketable stock if they are regularly traded on a “qualified exchange or other market” (within the meaning of the applicable Treasury regulations). A class of stock is considered regularly traded, for these purposes, for any calendar year during which such class of stock is traded, other than in de minimis quantities, on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter on a qualified exchange or other market. It is intended that the Class A common shares will be listed on the Nasdaq, which is treated as a qualified exchange for these purposes, but no assurance can be given that the Class A common shares will be “regularly traded” for purposes of the mark-to-market election.

If you make an effective mark-to-market election, for each taxable year that we are a PFIC you will include as ordinary income the excess of the fair market value of your Class A common shares at the end of the year over your adjusted tax basis in the Class A common shares. You will be entitled to deduct as an ordinary loss in each such year the excess of your adjusted tax basis in the Class A common shares over their fair market value at the end of the year, but only to the extent of the net amount previously included in income as a result of the mark-to-market election. Such election will not apply to any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries. Accordingly, you may continue to be subject to tax under the PFIC excess distribution regime with respect to any lower-tier PFICs notwithstanding a mark-to-market election for the Class A common shares. Your adjusted tax basis in the Class A common shares will be increased by the amount of any income inclusion and decreased by the amount of any deductions under the mark-to-market rules. In addition, upon the sale or other disposition of your Class A common shares in a year that we are a PFIC, any gain will be treated as ordinary income and, to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election, any loss will be treated as ordinary loss.

If you make a mark-to-market election, it will be effective for the taxable year for which the election is made and all subsequent taxable years unless the Class A common shares are no longer regularly traded on

177

TABLE OF CONTENTS

a qualified exchange or other market, or the Internal Revenue Service consents to the revocation of the election. You are urged to consult your tax advisor about the availability of the mark-to-market election, and whether making the election would be advisable in your particular circumstances.

Alternatively, you can sometimes avoid the special tax rules described above by electing to treat a PFIC as a “qualified electing fund” under Section 1295 of the Code. However, this option is not available to you with respect to our Class A common shares because we do not intend to comply with the requirements necessary to permit you to make this election.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which you hold our Class A common shares and any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries is also a PFIC, you will be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the shares of the lower-tier PFIC for purposes of the application of the PFIC rules. You are urged to consult your tax advisors about the application of the PFIC rules to any of our subsidiaries.

You will generally be required to file Internal Revenue Service Form 8621 if you hold our Class A common shares in any year in which we are classified as a PFIC. You are urged to consult your tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding Class A common shares if we are considered a PFIC in any taxable year.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

In general, information reporting will apply to dividends in respect of our Class A common shares and the proceeds from the sale, exchange or other disposition of Class A common shares that are paid to you within the United States (and in certain cases, outside the United States), unless you are an exempt recipient. Backup withholding may apply to such payments if you fail to provide a taxpayer identification number or certification of exempt status or fail to report in full dividend and interest income.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

Certain U.S. Holders are required to report information relating to our Class A common shares, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for Class A common shares held in accounts maintained by certain financial institutions), by attaching a complete Internal Revenue Service Form 8938, Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets, with their tax return for each year in which they hold the Class A common shares. You are urged to consult your own tax advisors regarding information reporting requirements relating to your ownership of the Class A common shares.

We have granted the underwriters an option to buy up to an additional 1,936,364 Class A common shares from us to cover sales by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than the total number set forth in the table above. They may exercise that option for 30 days from the date of this prospectus. If any shares are purchased pursuant to this option, the underwriters will severally purchase shares in approximately the same proportion as set forth in the table above.

We have agreed to indemnify the several underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

Lock-up Agreements

We, our officers, directors and substantially all of our shareholders, have agreed with the underwriters, subject to certain exceptions described below, not to dispose of or hedge any of their Class A common shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Class A common shares during the period from the date of this prospectus continuing through the date 180 days after the date of this prospectus, except with the prior written consent of Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC. Specifically, we and these other persons have agreed, with certain limited exceptions, not to directly or indirectly offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any Class A common shares, or any options or warrants to purchase any Class A common shares, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive Class A common shares (including Class B common shares), whether now owned or later acquired, engage in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably would be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of Class A common shares, including any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including without limitation any put or call option) with respect to any Class A common shares or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from Class A common shares. These lock-up restrictions will not apply to: (a) bona fide gift or gifts, provided that the donee or donees agree to be bound in writing by the terms of the lock-up agreement, (b) any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the signatories of the lock-up agreement or their immediate family, provided that the trustee of such a trust agrees to be bound in writing by the terms of the lock-up agreement, and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (c) transfers that occur by reason of a will or under the laws of descent, or pursuant to statutes governing the effects of a qualified domestic order or divorce settlement, provided that the transferee or transferees agree to be bound in writing by the terms of the lock-up agreement, (d) transactions relating to our Class A common shares or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of our initial public offering, provided that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with subsequent sales of Class A common shares or other securities acquired in such open market transactions, (e) transfers following the consummation of our initial public offering, pursuant to a bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of our issued share capital involving a “change of control” (meaning a change in our ownership of not less than 85%) that has been approved by our board of directors, provided that should such a transaction not be completed, the lock-up restrictions will continue to apply to the signatories of the lock-up agreement, (f) pursuant to the underwriting agreement and any reclassification, conversion or exchange in connection with such sale of Class A common shares, (g) as a result of the operation of law, or pursuant to an order of a court or regulatory agency, or (h) with the prior written consent of the representatives on behalf of the underwriters.

We also agreed not to file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to, any securities that are substantially similar to the Class A common shares, including but not limited to any options or warrants to purchase Class A common shares or any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, Class A common shares (including Class B common shares) or any such substantially similar securities, or publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge, disposition or filing or enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Class A common shares or any such other securities.

prospectus, provided that the recipients of such Class A common shares enter into a written letter agreement agreeing to remain subject to the lock-up restrictions set forth in such agreement with the underwriters, (c) the issuance of Class A common shares upon the conversion of a security, as described in this prospectus outstanding as of the date of this prospectus, provided that the recipients of such Class A common shares enter into a written letter agreement agreeing to remain subject to the lock-up restrictions set forth in such agreement with the underwriters, (d) the issuance of Class A common shares in connection with a merger, acquisition, joint venture or strategic participation entered into by us, provided that (i) the aggregate number of such Class A common shares issued thereby shall not exceed 10% of our issued and outstanding capital stock as of the date of such merger, acquisition, joint venture or strategic participation and (ii) the recipients of such Class A common shares enter into a written letter agreement agreeing to remain subject to the lock-up restrictions set forth in such agreement with the underwriters, (e) the filing by us of any registration statement on Form S-8 or a successor form thereto relating to our current or contemplated long-term incentive plans described in this prospectus, (f) a confidential or non-public submission of a registration statement with the SEC during the lock-up period, provided that (x) no public announcement of such confidential or non-public submission shall be made and (y) no such confidential or nonpublic submission shall become a publicly available registration statement during the lock-up period; or (g) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of Class A common shares, provided that (i) such a plan does not provide for the transfer of Class A common shares during the lock-up period and (ii) no public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required of or voluntarily made by the us regarding the establishment of such plan.

Listing Venue

We have applied to list our Class A common shares on the Nasdaq under the symbol “ZENV.”

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for the shares. The initial public offering price has been negotiated among us and the representatives. Among the factors to be considered in determining the initial public offering price of the shares, in addition to prevailing market conditions, will be our historical performance, estimates of our business potential and earnings prospects, an assessment of our management and the consideration of the above factors in relation to market valuation of companies in related businesses.

Certain of the underwriters and their respective affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, a variety of these services to us and to persons and entities with relationships with us, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses.

In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates, officers, directors and employees may purchase, sell or hold a broad array of investments and actively traded securities, derivatives, loans, commodities, currencies, credit default swaps and other financial instruments for their own account and for the accounts of their customers or affiliates, and such investment and trading activities may involve or relate to assets, securities and/or instruments of ours (directly, as collateral securing other obligations or otherwise) and/or persons and entities with relationships with us. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also communicate independent investment recommendations, market color or trading ideas and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such assets, securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they should acquire, long and/or short positions in such assets, securities and instruments.

Price Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell Class A common shares in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than they are required to purchase in this offering, and a short position represents the amount of such

181

TABLE OF CONTENTS

sales that have not been covered by subsequent purchases. A “covered short position” is a short position that is not greater than the number of additional shares for which the underwriters’ option described above may be exercised. The underwriters may cover any covered short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to cover the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase additional shares pursuant to the option described above. “Naked” short sales are any short sales that create a short position greater than the number of additional shares for which the option described above may be exercised. The underwriters must cover any such naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the Class A common shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of Class A common shares made by the underwriters in the open market prior to the completion of this offering.

The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the representatives have repurchased shares sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions.

Purchases to cover a short position and stabilizing transactions, as well as other purchases by the underwriters for their own accounts, may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our Class A common shares, and together with the imposition of the penalty bid, may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Class A common shares. As a result, the price of the Class A common shares may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

Electronic Distribution

In connection with the offering, certain of the underwriters or securities dealers may distribute prospectuses by electronic means, such as email.

In the case of any Class A common shares being offered to a financial intermediary as that term is used in Article 5(1) of the Prospectus Regulation, each such financial intermediary will be deemed to have represented, acknowledged and agreed that the Class A common shares acquired by it in the offer have not been acquired on a non-discretionary basis on behalf of, nor have they been acquired with a view to their offer or resale to, persons in circumstances which may give rise to an offer to the public other than their offer or resale in a Relevant State to qualified investors, in circumstances in which the prior consent of the representatives has been obtained to each such proposed offer or resale.

The Company, the underwriters and their affiliates will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representations, acknowledgements and agreements.

For the purposes of this provision, the expression an “offer to the public” in relation to any Class A common shares in any Relevant State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and any Class A common shares to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for any Class A common shares, and the expression “Prospectus Regulation” means Regulation (EU) 2017/1129.

Brazil

The offer and sale of our Class A common shares has not been, and will not be, registered (or exempted from registration) with the Brazilian Securities Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários — CVM) and, therefore, will not be carried out by any means that would constitute a public offering in Brazil under Law No. 6,385, of December 7, 1976, as amended, under CVM Rule No. 400, of December 29, 2003, as amended, or under CVM Rule No. 476, of January 16, 2009, as amended.

Saudi Arabia

Any investor in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia or who is a Saudi person (a Saudi Investor) who acquires the Class A common shares pursuant to the offering should note that the offer of the Class A common shares is an exempt offer under sub-paragraph (3) of paragraph (a) of Article 16 of the “Offer of Securities Regulations” as issued by the Board of the Capital Market Authority resolution number 2-11-2004 dated October 4, 2004 and amended by the resolution of the Board of Capital Market Authority resolution number 1-33-2004 dated December 21, 2004 (the KSA Regulations).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

Cayman Islands

We are registered under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability. We are registered in the Cayman Islands because of certain benefits associated with being a Cayman Islands company, such as political and economic stability, an effective judicial system, a favorable tax system, the absence of foreign exchange control or currency restrictions and the availability of professional and support services. However, the Cayman Islands have a less prescriptive body of securities laws as compared to the United States and some U.S. states, such as Delaware, have more fulsome and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law than the Cayman Islands. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States.

Enforceability of Civil Liabilities

We have been advised by our Cayman Islands legal counsel, Maples and Calder, that the courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (i) to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any State; and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against us predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any State, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive and for a liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, and or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). A Cayman Islands Court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

Anti-Money Laundering

If any person in the Cayman Islands knows or suspects, or has reasonable grounds for knowing or suspecting that another person is engaged in criminal conduct or money laundering, or is involved with terrorism or terrorist financing and property, and the information for that knowledge or suspicion came to their attention in the course of business in the regulated sector, or other trade, profession, business or employment, the person will be required to report such knowledge or suspicion to (i) the Financial Reporting Authority of the Cayman Islands, or FRA, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Law (2020 Revision) of the Cayman Islands, or PCL, if the disclosure relates to criminal conduct or money laundering, or (ii) a police officer of the rank of constable or higher, or the FRA, pursuant to the Terrorism Law (2018 Revision) of the Cayman Islands, or Terrorism Law, if the disclosure relates to involvement with terrorism or terrorist financing and property.

Brazil

Most of our assets are located outside the United States, in Brazil. In addition, all of the members of our board of directors and board of executive officers are nationals or residents of Brazil or non-U.S. residents and all or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or these persons, or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

We have been advised by Pinheiro Neto Advogados, our Brazilian counsel, that a judgment of a United States court for civil liabilities predicated upon the federal securities laws of the United States may be enforced in Brazil, subject to certain requirements described below. Such counsel has advised that a

195

TABLE OF CONTENTS

judgment against us, the members of our board of directors or our executive officers obtained in the United States would be enforceable in Brazil without retrial or re-examination of the merits of the original action including, without limitation, any final judgment for payment of a certain amount rendered by any such court, provided that such judgment has been previously recognized by the Brazilian Superior Tribunal of Justice (Superior Tribunal de Justiça), or STJ. That recognition will only be available, pursuant to Articles 963 and 964 of the Brazilian Code of Civil Procedure (Código de Processo Civil, Law No. 13,105, dated March 16, 2015, as amended), if the U.S. judgment:

•

complies with all formalities required for its enforceability, including issuance by a competent court and/or authority, after proper service of process on the parties is made in accordance with applicable law, considering that service of process on individuals in Brazil must comply with applicable Brazilian law, or after sufficient evidence of the parties’ absence (revelia) has been given, in accordance with the applicable law of the jurisdiction where the foreign judgment was issued;

•

is not rendered in an action upon which Brazilian courts have exclusive jurisdiction, pursuant to the provisions of art. 23 of the Brazilian Code of Civil Procedure (Law No. 13,105/2015, as amended);

•

is final binding and therefore not subject to appeal in the jurisdiction in which it was issued (res judicata);

•

it is not contrary to a final and binding award issued by Brazilian courts in the case records of a lawsuit that involves the same parties, cause of action;

•

creates no conflict between the United States judgment and a previous final and binding (res judicata) judgment on the same matter and involving the same parties issued in Brazil;

•

is duly apostilled by a competent authority of the United States, according to the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents dated as of October 5, 1961 authentication, or the Hague Convention. If such decision emanates from a country that is not a signatory of the Hague Convention, it must be duly authenticated by a Brazilian Diplomatic Office or Consulate;

•

is accompanied by a sworn translation into Brazilian Portuguese made by a certified translator in Brazil, unless an exemption is provided by an international treaty to which Brazil is a signatory; and

•

is not contrary to Brazilian national sovereignty, good morals or public policy and does not violate the dignity of the human person, as set forth in Brazilian law.

The judicial recognition process may be time-consuming and may also give rise to difficulties in enforcing such foreign judgment in Brazil. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that judicial recognition of a foreign judgment would be successful, that the judicial recognition process would be conducted in a timely manner or that a Brazilian court would enforce a judgment of countries other than Brazil.

We believe original actions may be brought in connection with this initial public offering predicated on the federal securities laws of the United States in Brazilian courts and that, subject to applicable law, Brazilian courts may enforce liabilities in such actions against us or the members of our board of directors or our executive officers and certain advisors named herein.

In addition, a plaintiff, whether Brazilian or non-Brazilian, who resides outside Brazil or is outside Brazil during the course of litigation in Brazil and who does not own real property in Brazil must post a bond to guarantee the payment of the defendant’s legal fees and court expenses in connection with court procedures for the collection of money according to Article 83 of the Brazilian Code of Civil Procedure (Código de Processo Civil). This bond must have a value sufficient to satisfy the payment of court fees and defendant’s attorneys’ fees, as determined by the Brazilian judge based on the amount under dispute. This is so except in the case of: (1) claims for collection on a título executivo extrajudicial (an instrument which may be enforced in Brazilian courts without a review on the merits), or (2) in the case of an enforcement of a judgment, including foreign judgments that have been duly recognized by the STJ; (3) counterclaims as established; and (4) when an exemption is provided by an international agreement or treaty to which Brazil is a signatory.

If proceedings are brought in Brazilian courts seeking to enforce our obligations with respect to our Class A common shares, payment shall be made in reais. Any judgment rendered in Brazilian courts in

196

TABLE OF CONTENTS

respect of any payment obligations with respect to our Class A common shares would be expressed in reais. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Our Class A Common Shares and the Offering — Judgments of Brazilian courts to enforce our obligations with respect to our Class A common shares may be payable only in reais. The exchange rate in force at the time may not offer non-Brazilian investors full compensation for any claim arising from our obligations.”

We have also been advised that the ability of a judgment creditor to satisfy a judgment by attaching certain assets of the defendant in Brazil is governed and limited by provisions of Brazilian law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we cannot assure you that confirmation of any judgment will be obtained, or that the process described above can be conducted in a timely manner.

Agent for Service of Process

We have appointed Cogency Global Inc. as our agent to receive service of process with respect to any action brought against us in the United States under U.S. federal or state securities laws arising out of or in connection with this offering. The address of Cogency Global Inc. is 122 East 42th Street, 18th Floor, New York, NY 10168.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Zenvia Mobile Serviços Digitais S.A. (and subsidiaries) (the Company) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 , the related consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, cash flows, and changes in equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board”.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditors since 2013.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

(In thousands of Reais)

Operations

Zenvia Mobile Serviços Digitais S.A. (“Company”) is a privately-held corporation headquartered in São Paulo, in the State of São Paulo. These consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as “the Company” or “the Group”). The Group is primarily involved in the development of a cloud-based platform that enables organizations to integrate several communication capabilities (including short message service, or SMS, WhatsApp, Voice, WebChat and Facebook Messenger) into their software applications.

Sale of carrier billing customer relationship

The Company signed, in August 17, 2018, an agreement to sell its carrier billing customer relationship. The sale was concluded in 2019 through the formal transfer of the customer relationships related to its carrier billing operations to Syntonic (acquirer).

The carrier billing operation revenue totaled R$ 0 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019 and R$ 3,397 thousand in the year ended December 31, 2018.

The sales price was equivalent to US$ 700 thousand. On August 20, 2018 partial consideration was paid in advance in the amount of R$ 2,757 (at the exchange rate of R$ 3.94 on August 20, 2018), contingent upon the effective transfer of the contracts with telephone operators from the Company to Syntonic. The contract also provides an earn-out subsequent price adjustment of up to an amount equivalent to US$4,300 thousand (R$ 17,329 at the exchange rate as of December 31, 2019). The measurement periods defined for purposes of calculating the price adjustment relate to the years 2019, 2020 and 2021.

The price is calculated based on certain performance goals, as defined in the agreement, from each of the predefined periods.

As of December 31, 2020 the performance goals were not satisfied and therefore no price adjustment was earned for this period.

Business combination — Rodati Motors Corporation (Sirena)

On July 24, 2020, the Company entered into a share purchase and sale agreement to purchase 100% of the shares of Rodati Motors Corporation (also referred to as “Sirena”), a startup founded in 2014 that offers communication solutions for sales teams via WhatsApp. The consideration transferred consisted of an upfront cash payment of US$ 10,923 thousand (R$ 56,961) on July 24, 2020, closing date. Following the acquisition, the former sharesholders will be subject to additional deferred payments of US$ 13,584 thousand (R$ 70,835), due in 3 installments payable in 6, 12 and 24 month after the acquisition date. On January 24, 2021, the Company settled the equivalent to US$ 392 thousand (R$ 2,045) from the deferred consideration. The deferred payments bear interests of 10% p.a. plus 0.75% for each month since the closing date, fully payable on the second installment. In case of a liquidation event (defined in the contract as a strategic sale of the Company or a an Initial Public Offering) within the period until the full settlement of the deferred consideration payable, part of the payment will be made in a variable number of the Company’s own shares, depending on the valuation of such shares associated with the liquidation events, limited to the cash amounts defined in the contract. The total consideration transferred and to be transferred is equivalent to US$ 24,507 (R$127,796). Also, in addition to the consideration transferred to former shareholders, certain of the former sharesholders that remained working at the Company will be subject to additional compensation of up to US$ 5,514 thousand (R$ 28,752) to be paid in 2021 and 2022, calculated based on certain goals of contribution margins (as defined in the agreement) generated by Sirena solutions, including their continued employment with the Company. As of December 31, 2020, a provision was recorded in the amount of R$ 8,833 related to the estimated compensation payable to these individuals. This acquisition is in line with the Company’s strategy to expand into other Latin America regions.

At the acquisition date, Sirena had an outstanding share-based plan represented by a restricted share plan granted to certain Sirena executives, not fully vested. In connection to the acquisition of Sirena by the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Company the plan was cancelled at the acquisition date and the shares were paid by Zenvia to such executives as part of the consideration transferred.

Goodwill arising from the acquisition has been recognized as follows, based purchase price allocation:

	Rodati Motors Corporation 2020
Consideration transferred		127,796
Other net assets, including PPE and cash		1,519
Intangible assets – Client portfolio(a)		1,975
Intangible assets – Digital platform(b)		54,521
Deferred tax liabilities, net		(14,835)
Total net assets acquired at fair value		43,180
Goodwill		84,616

(a)

The fair value of R$ 1,975 represents client portfolio and was calculated based on discounted future cash flows associated to the portfolio estimated at the acquisition date.

(b)

The fair value of R$ 54,521 represents the digital platform acquired, measured based on discounted future cash flows associated to the asset at the acquisition date.

Valuation techniques are summarized below:

Assets acquired			Valuation technique
Intangible assets – Allocation of the customer portfolio and platform			Income approach: The MPEEM method (Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method) assumes that the fair value of an intangible asset is equal to the present value of the cash flow attributable to that asset, subtracting the contribution from other assets, tangible or intangible.

Since the acquisition, Sirena has generated revenues of R$ 10,841 and loss of R$ 3,597 in the year ended 2020 included in the consolidated financial statements. If the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2020, management estimates that consolidated revenue would have been R$ 438,114 and consolidated loss for the year would have been R$ 45,016 In determining these amounts, management has assumed that the fair value adjustments that arose on the date of acquisition would have been the same if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2020.

The goodwill is attributable mainly to future results and synergies expected to be achieved from business integration. The Company is analyzing tax strategies to enable the future tax deductibility of goodwill. At the time of the acquisition, future tax deductibility is not probable as certain actions are necessary to integrate the businesses from a tax perspective, which are subject to substantive uncertainties associated to applicable tax laws.

The transaction was consummated on July 24, 2020, and Zenvia Brazil began to consolidate Sirena’s results of operations as of that date.

The identification of the intangible assets acquired in business combinations is subject to significant judgements by management as to whether assets are separable from other assets. The measurement of those assets and liabilities assumed also involve judgements and estimates developed by management, based on facts and circumstances known at the time of the business combination that may be not confirmed in the future. Such judgements and estimates are reviewed on an ongoing basis and adjusted prospectively as necessary.

Business combination — Acquisition of Total Voice Telecom S.A. (Total Voice)

On March 1, 2019, the Company acquired all shares of Total Voice, a company that operates with communication API (Application Programming Interface). The Total Voice communication API allows

F-8

TABLE OF CONTENTS

application developers to add voice and text communication directly to their applications. The amount of the acquisition of Total Voice was R$ 2,002, paid in cash to former shareholders who left Total Voice at the acquisition date and R$ 13, paid to the former shareholders that remained as the Company’s employees, totaling R$ 2,015.

Following the acquisition, the former shareholders that remained with the Company will be subject to additional compensation of up to R$ 23,327 to be paid in 2021, based on certain conditions, including their continued employment with the Company. As of December 31, 2020, a provision was recorded in the amount of R$ 13,112 ( as of December 31, 2019, a provision was recorded in the amount of R$ 5,230) related to the estimated compensation earned by these individuals.

Gain on bargain purchase arising from the acquisition has been recognised as follows:

	Total Voice 2019
Consideration transferred		2,015
Fair value of other net assets, including PP&E and cash and equivalents		57
Client portfolio(a)		518
Intangible — Digital platform(b)		3,919
Gain on bargain purchase		2,479
Tax on gain on bargain purchase		(843)
Net gain on bargain purchase		1,636

The gain on bargain purchase, recorded in a separate caption in the statement of profit or loss, resulted from the fact that most of the compensation of the former shareholders that remained as employees is to be paid in form of future compensation, linked to continuous employment.

The current tax law allows the deductibility of the fair value of net assets acquired when a non-substantive action is taken after acquisition by the Company and therefore the tax and accounting basis of the net assets acquired are the same as of the acquisition date. In this regard, the Company considers that actions to complete the merger of the acquiree are non-substantive so that the Company expects to be entitled to the deductibility of the amortization and depreciation of the net assets acquired and, therefore, no deferred income taxes were recorded for the client portfolio and digital platform assets at the acquisition date.

(a)

The fair value of R$ 518 represents client portfolio acquired from Total Voice and was calculated based on discounted future cash flows associated to the portfolio estimated at the acquisition date;

(b)

The fair value of R$ 3,919 represents the digital platform acquired, based on its the potential of generating future cashflows, calculated based on estimated future discounted cash flows at the acquisition date;

Valuation techniques are summarized below:

Assets acquired			Valuation technique
Intangible assets – Allocation of the customer portfolio and platform			Income approach: The MPEEM method (Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method) assumes that the fair value of an intangible asset is equal to the present value of the cash flow attributable to that asset, subtracting the contribution from other assets, tangible or intangible.

COVID-19

As a result of the global outbreak of COVID-19, unprecedented economic uncertainties have arisen that continue to have an adverse impact on global economic and market conditions, including in Brazil. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic, and the Brazilian

F-9

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Federal Government declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19. In addition, state and municipal authorities in Brazil suspended a variety of economic activities as part of measures to mitigate the spread of the virus.

The global impact of the COVID-19 outbreak has rapidly evolved and it presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to the future performance and financial results of the Company. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Company implemented several measures aimed at safeguarding the health of employees and the stability of operations, including: (1) the implementation of remote work arrangements; (2) restrictions on all business travel and the postponement or cancellation of other planned events or their shift to virtual-only experiences; and (3) the provision of a utilities stipend to assist employees with increased cost of electricity, internet and other expenses resulting from remote work arrangements.

The COVID-19 pandemic is also having an impact on the Company customers (and prospective customers) behavior as it is accelerating their digitalization plans, which creates opportunities, particularly for the IP-based messaging service products offerings (such as WhatsApp). Nonetheless, in the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company suffered an impact as management believes that sales would have been higher in the absence of COVID-19 pandemic, and such impact may continue for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Management continues to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the business and the well-being of employees.

Preparation basis

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

The issuance of these financial statements was approved by the Executive Board on May 5, 2021.

Measurement basis

The financial statements were prepared based on historical cost, except for certain financial instruments measured at fair value, as described in the following accounting practices.

The subsidiary Rodati Services S.A. is located in Argentina and has as its functional currency the Argentinean Peso. Argentina has been considered a hyperinflationary economy since July 1 2018. Therefore, the financial information of the subsidiary located in Argentina used for consolidation purposes were adjusted at the monetary measurement unit current at the end of reporting period before being translated and included in the consolidated financial statements. Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at cost, shareholders’ equity and the statement of profit or loss were adjusted to reflect the change in purchasing power of the Argentinean Pesos by applying a consumer price index (CPI). Impacts of the monetary remeasurement are recorded in profit or loss.

F-10

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Functional and presentation currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Brazilian Real, which is the Company’s functional currency. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousand, except if otherwise indicated.

The functional currency of the subsidiary Rodati Motors Corporation is the US Dollar. The indirect subsidiaries of the Company have the following functional currencies: Rodati Motors Central de Informaçoes de Veiculos Automotores Ltda. has the local currency, Brazilian Real (BRL), as its functional currency; Rodati Services S.A has the local currency, Argentinean Peso (ARG), as its functional currency; and Rodati Servicios, S.A. de CV. has the local currency, Mexican Pesos (MEX), as its functional currency.

Foreign currency translation

For the consolidated Group companies in which functional currency is different from the Brazilian Real, the financial statements are translated to Real as of closing date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences are generally recognised in profit or loss and presented within finance costs.

Accounting and reporting in highly hyperinflationary economy

In July 2018, considering that the inflation accumulated in the past three years in Argentina was higher than 100%, the adoption of the accounting and reporting standard in hyperinflationary economy became mandatory in relation to the subsidiary Rodati Services S.A, located in Argentina.

Non monetary assets and liabilities, the shareholders’ equity and the statement of income of subsidiaries that operate in hyperinflationary economies are adjusted by the change in the general purchasing power of the currency, applying a general price index.

The financial statements of an entity whose functional currency is the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, whether they are based on the historical or current cost approach, should be expressed in terms of the current measurement unit at the balance sheet date and translated into Real at the closing exchange rate for the period.

The impacts of changes in general purchasing power as from July 24, 2020 to December 31, 2020 were reported as finance costs in the statements of income of the Company

Use of estimates and judgments

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management has made judgements and estimates that affect the application of the Group’s accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognized prospectively.

(e.1) Judgments

Information about judgments referring to the adoption of accounting policies which impact significantly the amounts recognized in the financial statements are included in the following notes:

Note 1 (b) — Identification of assets acquired and liabilities assumed;

Note 10 — Intangible assets: determination of useful lives of intangible assets.

(e.2) Uncertainties on assumptions and estimates

Information on uncertainties as to assumptions and estimates that pose a high risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next fiscal year are included in the following notes:

Note 1 (c) — business combination: assumptions on the determination of fair value of consideration transferred, assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

(i)

Measurement of fair value

A series of Company’s accounting policies and disclosures requires the measurement of fair value, for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.

The Company established a control structure related to measurement of fair value. It includes the review process of all significant fair value measurements, reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer.

Evaluation process includes the regular review of significant non-observable data and valuation adjustments. If third-party information, such as brokerage firms’ quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair value, then the evaluation process analyzes the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the IFRS requirements, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified. Significant assessment matters are reported to the Board of Directors.

When measuring fair value of an asset or liability, the Company uses observable data as much as possible. Fair values are classified at different levels according to hierarchy based on information (inputs) used in valuation techniques, as follows:

•

Level 1: Prices quoted (not adjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

•

Level 2: Inputs, except for quoted prices, included in Level 1 which are observable for assets or liabilities, directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).

•

Level 3: Inputs, for assets or liabilities, which are not based on observable market data (non-observable inputs).

The Company recognizes transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the end of the financial statements’ period in which changes occurred.

Additional information on the assumptions adopted in the measurement of fair values is included in the following notes:

Note 26 — Risk management and financial instruments;

Notes 1 (b) and 1 (c) — Business combination

Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies described in detail below have been consistently applied to all the periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, except if otherwise indicated (see also Note 5).

Consolidation procedures

(i)

Business Combination

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when the acquired set of activities and assets meets the definition of a business and control is transferred to the Company. In determining whether a particular set of activities and assets is a business, the Company assesses whether the set of assets and activities acquired includes, at a minimum, an input and substantive process and whether the acquired set has the ability to produce outputs. The Company has an option to apply a ‘concentration test’

F-12

TABLE OF CONTENTS

that permits a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is not a business. The optional concentration test is met if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets.

The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment. Any gain on a bargain purchase is recognised in profit or loss immediately. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issue of debt or equity securities.

The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as equity, then it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, other contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss.

(ii)

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The Company ‘controls’ an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.

(iii)

Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses (except for foreign currency transaction gains or losses) arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated.

Foreign currency

(i)

Foreign exchange transactions

Transactions in foreign currency, i.e. all transactions that are not carried out in the functional currency, are translated at the exchange rate on the dates of each transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency were translated into functional currency at the foreign exchange rate at the reporting date. The gains and losses from the changes in the exchange rates on monetary assets and liabilities are recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

Segment reporting

The segment reporting is based on information used by the Company’s CODM (Company’s Operating Decision Maker), represented by the chief executive officer.

The CODM considers the whole Group as a single operating and reportable segment, monitoring operations, making decisions on fund allocation and evaluating performance based on a single operating segment. The CODM reviews relevant financial data on a combined basis for all subsidiaries.

Revenue

The Company generates revenue primarily from the cloud-based platform that enables organizations to integrate several communication capabilities (including short message service — SMS, WhatsApp, Voice, Webchat and Facebook Messenger) into their software applications. Revenues are generated by the number of interactions of the Company’s clients with their own customers, based on prices defined in the contracts.

Performance obligations and revenue recognition policies

The following table provides information about the nature and timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations in contracts with customers, including significant payment terms, and the related revenue recognition policies.

F-14

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Type of service	Nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, including significant payment terms	Revenue recognition policies
Communication Platform	The Company revenue is mainly derived from fees based on the usage-based services available on its communication platform. The use of these services is measured by the individual volume and revenues based on these volumes are recognized in the period of use. The Company also has revenue from subscription-based fees that are derived from certain “take or pay” contracts or with unlimited use of the platform functionalities. Revenue from subscription-based contracts is recognized by month. The Company provides services to customers under pay-as-you-go contracts and term-based contracts for a fixed or indefinite period. Small customers and customers who pay by credit card are billed in advance while large customers are monthly billed under the postpaid model. Collections are performed up to an average of thirty days after billings. Customers who pay on the prepaid model, draw down their balances as they use our products.	Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and in revenue or customer advances depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Company’s arrangements with customers do not provide for rights of return and the contracts do not provide customers with the right to take possession of the software supporting the applications.
Carrier billing	Carrier Billing is a business model in which there is a provider that makes its content available through the connections that the Company has with carriers (telephone companies), which provide the service to the final consumer. The provider has the responsibility for the content as well as establishing the price. The company acts as an agent in the process, receiving the amounts collected by the carriers and passing on to the providers their respective amounts. Therefore, net revenue is recorded by the fee charged to content providers for the service.	The carrying billing business is characterized as an operation in which Company has contracts with mobile phone operations in Brazil and providers of informational content through digital platforms, in which final customers of the mobile phone companies can subscribe the content from providers and receive information in a regular basis in their cell phones. In this operation, Company performs the billings against mobile phone operators and transfers to the content providers, receiving a fee to perform such service. Revenue is recognized when content providers deliver the services to final customers. Zenvia recognizes revenue at the amount of the net fees to be received in these operations.

Financial instruments

(i)

Recognition and initial measurement

Trade accounts receivable is initially recognized on the date that they were originated. All other financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the instrument’s contractual provisions.

A financial asset (unless it is trade accounts receivable without a material financing component) or a financial liability is initially measured at fair value, plus, for an item not measured at Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs which are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. Trade accounts receivable without a significant financing component are initially measured at the price of the transaction.

(ii)

Subsequent classification and measurement

Upon initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured: at amortized cost or FVTPL.

Financial assets are not reclassified after initial recognition, unless the Company changes the business model for the management of financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the reporting period subsequent to the change in the business model.

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both conditions below and is not designated as measured at FVTPL:

•

is held within a business model whose purpose is to maintain financial assets to receive contractual cash flows; and

•

its contractual terms generate, on specific dates, cash flows only related to the payment of principal and interest on outstanding principal value.

The Company carries out an evaluation of the purpose of the business in which a financial asset is held in the portfolio, since this better reflects the way in which the business is managed and the information is provided to management.

Financial assets held for trading or managed with a performance evaluated based on fair value are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets — evaluation whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest

For this purpose, “principal” is defined as the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition. “Interest” is defined as a consideration for the amount of cash at the time and for the credit risk associated to the outstanding principal value during a certain period and for other risks and basic costs of loans, as well as for the profit margin.

The Company considers the contractual terms of the instruments to evaluate whether the contractual cash flows are only payments of principal and interest. It includes evaluating whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the time or amount of the contractual cash flows so that it would not meet this condition. In making this evaluation, the Company considers the following:

•

contingent events that change the amount or timing of cash flows;

•

terms that may adjust the contractual rate, including variable rates;

•

the prepayment and the extension of the term; and

•

the terms that limit the Company’s access to cash flows of specific assets.

The prepayment is consistent with the principal and interest payment criterion if the prepayment amount mostly represents the unpaid principal and interest amounts on the outstanding principal amount — which may include an additional reasonable compensation due to the early termination of the

F-16

TABLE OF CONTENTS

contract. Furthermore, regarding a financial asset acquired for an amount lower or greater than the nominal value of the contract, the prepayment permission or requirement for an amount representing the nominal value of the contract plus contractual interest (which may also include reasonable additional compensation for early termination of the contract), accrued (but not paid), are treated as consistent with this criterion if the fair value of the prepayment is immaterial at initial recognition.

	Financial assets at FVTPL			These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net income, plus interest or dividend income, is recognized in profit or loss.
	Financial assets at amortized cost			These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Amortized cost is reduced for impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and impairment losses are recognized in the income statement. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

Impairment

Non-derivative financial assets

(i)

Financial instruments and contractual assets

The Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on:

•

financial assets measured at amortized cost;

The Company measures loss allowance at an amount equal to credit loss expected for the lifetime of the receivable, except for the items described below, which are measured as credit loss expected for 12 months:

•

debt securities with low credit risk on balance sheet date; and

•

other debt securities and bank balances for which the credit risk has not significantly increased since the beginning of initial recognition.

Loss allowances for trade receivables is always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Company’s historical experience and informed credit assessment, that includes forward-looking information.

The Company assumes that the credit risk in a financial asset increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due.

The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when:

•

the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full, without recourse by the Company to actions such as realizing security (if any is held); or

•

the financial asset is more than 180 days past due.

Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a

financial instrument. 12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over

which the Company is exposed to credit risk.

F-17

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(ii)

Measurement of ECLs

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the

present value of all cash shortfalls.

(iii)

Presentation of allowance for ECL in the statement of financial position

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.

(iv)

Write-off

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. The Company expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company´s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

Non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (customer portfolio, platform, property and plant and equipment) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose. The groups of units are identified at the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes, being one operating segment. The Company has one reportable segment as at December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

Property, plant and equipment

(i)

Recognition and measurement

Property, plant and equipment items are stated at historical acquisition or construction cost, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (if applicable).

The cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of assets.

Gains and losses on disposal of a property, plant and equipment items are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the book value of Property, plant and equipment and are recognized net within “Other income” in the profit or loss.

(ii)

Subsequent costs

The replacement cost of a component of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the book value of the item when it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied in the component will flow to the Company and its cost can be reliably measured. The book value of the component that is replaced is written off. Costs of normal maintenance on property, plant and equipment are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

F-18

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(iii)

Depreciation

Depreciation is recognized in profit or loss under the straight-line method based on the useful life of each component, since this method best reflects the standard of usage of the future economic benefits merged to the asset.

The depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted, if appropriate.

Intangible assets

(i)

Initial recognition

Intangible assets acquired by the Company with defined useful lives are measured at cost, net of accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

(ii)

Subsequent expenditures

Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when they increase the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which they relate. All other expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

(iii)

Amortization

Amortization is calculated over the cost of intangible assets less their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives and is recognized in profit or loss. Goodwill is not amortized.

(iv)

Intangible assets — Research and development expenditures

The expenses with research activities are recognized as expense in the period in which they are incurred. The costs resulting from development expenditures (or of a development phase of an internal project) is recognized as an asset if, and only if, all the following conditions are met:

•

Technical feasibility to complete the intangible asset so it will be available for use or sale.

•

The intention to complete the intangible asset and use it or sell it.

•

Ability to use or sell the intangible asset.

•

How the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits.

•

The availability of proper technical, financial and other resources to complete the development of the intangible asset and to use it or sell it.

•

Ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

The initially recognized amount of intangible assets corresponds to the sum of the expenses incurred since the intangible asset started meeting the aforementioned recognition criteria.

The measurement is made based on employee time records allocated to these developments at the cost of such employees.

When no intangible asset can be recognized, the development expenses are be recognized in the profit or loss for the period, when incurred.

After the initial recognition, intangible assets are recorded at cost, less amortization and accumulated impairment losses.

(v)

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment losses, if any.

Income tax and social contribution

For the entities domiciled in Brazil, the current and deferred income and social contribution taxes are calculated based on the rates of 15% plus a surcharge of 10% on taxable income in excess of Brazilian Reais (BRL) 240 per annum for income tax and 9% on taxable income for social contribution on net income and consider the offsetting of tax loss carryforward and negative basis of social contribution limited to 30% of the taxable income.

Income taxes applicable to the subsidiary located in the United States are calculated at 21% of taxable income for the year. For the subsidiaries in Mexico and Argentina, the current income tax are calculated based on the rate of 30%.

Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss unless they are related to the business combination, or items directly recognized in shareholders’ equity.

(i)

Current tax

Current taxes are the taxes payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustments to taxes payable in relation to prior years. It is measured based on rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Among the existing tax incentives in Brazil, the Company uses the benefit derived from the Lei do Bem (Law No. 11196/05), aimed at companies that perform research and development (R&D) of technological innovations. This benefit provides tax savings by reducing the income and social contribution tax base from the equivalent to 60% to 80% of R&D expenditures.

(ii)

Deferred tax

Deferred taxes are recognized in relation to the temporary differences between the book values of assets and liabilities and the related amounts used for taxation purposes.

A deferred income tax and social contribution asset is recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the unused tax losses and credits can be utilized. Deferred income tax and social contribution assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced when their realization is no longer probable.

Deferred taxes are measured at tax rates expected to be applied to temporary differences when they are reversed, based on rates enacted or substantively enacted up to the reporting date.

The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow the manner in which the Company expects to recover or settle the book value of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred income tax and social contribution assets are reviewed on the dates of financial statements and will be reduced when their realization is no longer probable.

Provisions

A provision is recognized in the statement of financial position when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are recognized based on the best estimates of the risk involved.

The Company records provisions to cover future disbursements that might arise from tax, labor and civil lawsuits in progress. Provisions are recorded based on an analysis of the lawsuits in progress and of the prospects of an unfavorable result implying future disbursement.

Contingent assets are not recognized until final and unappealable decisions in favor of the Company and when it is virtually certain that the asset will be realized. Taxes whose enforceability is being challenged in the judicial sphere are recorded taking into consideration the concept of “legal obligation”. Judicial deposits performed as guarantees for lawsuits in progress are recorded under “Judicial deposits” (see note 16).

Capital

Incremental costs directly attributable to issuance of new shares or options are presented in shareholders’ equity as a deduction of funds obtained, net of taxes.

The capital is composed of 4,421,399 common shares. Capital increases are allowed by resolution of the Board of Directors independently of amendment to its bylaws up to the limit of 33,575,208 new common shares with no value.

Financial income and costs

Finance income include interest on late collections, interest earning bank deposits income and foreign exchange gains on the changes in assets and liabilities indexed in foreign currency. Interest income is recognized in profit or loss under the effective interest method.

Finance costs include expenses with interest on loans and exchange-rate charges on assets and liabilities indexed at a foreign currency. Borrowing costs which are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, or production of a qualifying asset are accounted for in profit or loss using the effective interest rate method.

Distribution of dividends

Distribution of dividends to the Company’s shareholders is recognized as a liability in the financial statements at the end of each year, based on the Company’s by-laws. Any amount above the mandatory minimum is provisioned only on the date of its approval by the shareholders, during the Shareholders Meeting.

Employee benefits

Profit sharing and bonus — The employees’ profit sharing and bonus and the variable compensation of the executives are linked to the attainment of operating and financial goals.

The Company recognizes liabilities and related expenses, which are allocated to costs of services and administrative expenses, when the goals are probable to be met.

New standards, amendments and interpretations of standards

5.1

New technical pronouncements adopted in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 — IFRS 16 — Lease

Applicable as from January 1, 2019, IFRS 16 establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a single model in the statement of financial position, similar to the accounting for financial leases under IAS 17. The standard includes some practical expedients:

•

Leasing of “low value” assets;

•

Short-term leases (that is, with a lease term of 12 months or less);

•

Leases composed of variable values;

•

Leases in which the Company does not have control over the asset; and

Leases with indefinite term.

As of the beginning of a lease contract, the lessee recognizes a liability for lease payments (i.e., a lease liability) and an asset that represents the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term (i.e., the

F-21

TABLE OF CONTENTS

right of use asset). Lessees are required to recognize separately the interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset.Lessees are also required to reassess the lease liability in the event of certain events (for example, a change in the lease term, a change in future lease payments as a result of a change in an index or rate used to determine such payments). In general, the lessee will recognize the remeasurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

IFRS 16 also requires lessees and lessors to make more comprehensive disclosures than those provided for in IAS 17.

Reconciliation of the consolidated balance sheet for year ended December 31, 2018, the opening balance on January 1, 2019, and in comparison, the balance on December 31, 2019 affected by the new standard:

Right-of-use assets

The Company recognizes right-of-use assets on the inception of the lease (i.e., the date on which the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, minus any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted by any further remeasuring of the lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes recognized lease liabilities, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made before or on the start date, minus lease incentives received. Unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will take ownership of the leased asset at the end of the lease term, recognized right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis during the shortest period of their estimated useful life and the lease term.

Significant unobservable inputs			Relationship between significant unobservable inputs and measurement of the present value of cash flows
• Annual forecast revenue growth rate; • Forecast of the growth rate of variable input costs; • Risk-adjusted discount rate.			The present value of cash flows could increase (decrease) if: • the annual growth rate of revenue was higher (lower); • the cost growth rate was (higher) lower; • the risk-adjusted discount rate was (higher) lower.

The recoverable amount is determined by calculating the present value of cash flows based on the Company’s economic / financial projections for the next 5 years, and a terminal growth rate thereafter. Any

The discount rate adopted by the Company was 10.13% p.a. for property and equipment rental contracts.

The simplified retrospective approach was used and, at the time of transition, lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining payments, discounted at the incremental financing rate. Initially, the right to use the assets was measured at the equivalent amount of the lease liability, being recorded in property, plant and equipment, using the practical expedient that allows the lessee to exclude initial direct costs from measuring of the right-of-use asset.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(a)

In the following table we have the reconciliation from deferred (income) expenses:

	2020
Total 2020 Deferred taxes variation		(6,025)
Foreign exchange variation on deferred tax balances fro foreign subsidiaries		(330)
Deferred tax from Sirena tax loss carryforwards		(1,393)
Deferred tax from Sirena’s client portofio and digital platform		16,228
Deferred tax profit or loss		8,480

The Company did not present taxable income in the prior years, mainly due to the deductibility for tax purposes of goodwill, representing a temporary difference. However, based on projections of taxable income and the reversal of goodwill temporary difference, management believes that sufficient taxable income will be available in future periods to recover deferred tax assets.

Earnings per share

The calculation of basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income for the year by the weighted average number of common shares existing during the year.

Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income for the year by weighted average number of common shares existing during the year plus weighted average number of common shares that would be issued upon conversion of all potentially diluting common shares into common shares.

The Company does not have financial instruments which could result in a dilution of the earning per share.

The tables below show data of income and shares used in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share:

25.2

Financial risk management

The Company has a financial executive board responsible for risk management, with the supervision of the Board of Directors, and is also responsible for defining the policy, managing risks and financial instruments through control systems, which establish foreign exchange exposure limits and interest, and define the allocation of funds with financial institutions. The positions of all financial instruments, as well as the results obtained in relation to the proposed goals, are presented and evaluated monthly by the financial executive board and submitted to the Board of Directors of the Company.

25.3

Credit risk

It results from any difficulty in collecting the amounts of services provided to the customers.

The Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to credit risk from their interest earning bank deposits.

The credit risk related to the provision of services is minimized by a strict control of the customer base and active delinquency management by means of clear policies regarding the concession of services. There is no concentration of transactions with customers and the default level is historically very low.

In connection with credit risk relating to financial institutions, the Company and its subsidiaries seek to diversify such exposure among financial institutions.

Credit risk exposure

The book value of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum credit risk exposure on financial information date was:

	2020		2019		2018
Cash and cash equivalents		59,979		12,342		50,676
Interest earnings bank deposits		2,227		3,292		4,714
Trade accounts receivable		86,009		62,136		51,200
		148,215		77,770		106,590

F-41

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Company determines its allowance for expected credit losses by applying the following criteria:

•

The Company provides for expected losses by applying a loss rate calculated on historical effective losses on sales;

Additionally, the Company considers that accounts receivable had a significant increase in credit risk and provides for:

•

All notes receivables past due for more than 6 months;

•

Notes subject to additional credit analysis presenting indicators of significant risks of default based on ongoing renegotiations, failure indicators or judicial recovery ongoing processes and customers with relevant evidence of cash deteriorating situation.

25.4

Market Risk

Interest rate and inflation risk: Interest rate risk arises from the portion of debt and interest earning bank deposits remunerated at CDI (Interbank Deposit Certificate) rate, which may adversely affect the financial income or expenses in the event an unfavorable change in interest and inflation rates takes place.

25.5

Operations with derivatives

The Company does not have derivatives on a speculative basis.

25.6

Liquidity risk

The liquidity risk consists of the risk of the Company not having sufficient funds to settle its financial liabilities.

The Company’s and its subsidiaries’ cash flow and liquidity control are monitored on a daily basis by Company treasury function, so as to ensure that cash operating generation and previous fund raising, as necessary, are sufficient to maintain payment schedule, thus not generating liquidity risk for the Company and its subsidiaries.

As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, the Company entered into agreement with its financial creditors to obtain R$ 80,000 in credit lines with a grace period of 12 to 18 months and payment terms of 24 to 36 months. For these credit lines there is a covenant of 3.5x net bank debt / EBITDA. With these negotiations, the Company determined that it will have sufficient liquidity for least 12 months from the issuance of these financial statements.

We present below the contractual maturities of financial liabilities including payment of estimated interest.

Non-derivative financial liabilities	Book value		Contractual cash flow		Up to 12 Months		1 – 2 years		2 – 3 years		>3 years
Loans and financing		98,975		122,565		74,356		20,474		19,066		8,670
Trade and other payables		100,237		100,237		100,036		201		—		—
Lease liabilities		2,758		3,259		1,481		1,186		592		—
		201,970		226,061		175,873		21,861		19,658		8,670

Management does not expect any early maturities or cash outflows compared to those presented in the table above.

25.7

Sensitivity analysis

The main risks linked to the Company’s operations are linked to the variation of the Interbank Deposit Certificate (CDI) for financing and financial investments and the Long-Term Interest Rate (TJLP) for financing.

The Company’s financial instruments are represented by cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, loans and financing, and are recorded at amortized cost, plus interests incurred.

F-42

TABLE OF CONTENTS

On the reporting dates, the profile of instruments remunerated through Company’s interest was:

Variable rate assets	2020		2019		2018
Financial assets		49,107		3,292		4,714
Financial liabilities		98,975		63,346		48,229

25.7.1

Sensitivity analysis for variable rate instruments

Investments indexed to CDI are recorded at market value, according to quotations published by the respective financial institutions, and the remainder refer mostly to bank deposit certificates. Therefore, the recorded amount of these securities does not differ from the market value.

The table below presents three scenarios for the risk of decreasing the CDI index. The base scenario was the index at December 2020 of 2.75% p.a. Scenario II represents a 25% decrease and scenario III a 50% decrease.

Operation	Balance at 2020		Risk	Scenario I Current scenario		Scenario II		Scenario III
Interest rate subject to variation		49,107	CDI decrease		2.75%		2.06%		1.38%
Financial investments					1,350		1,013		675

The Company has loans and borrowings linked to the CDI rate and the TJLP rate (long-term interest rate). The table below presents three scenarios for the risk of increasing the CDI and the TJLP indexes where the base scenario is the TJLP and CDI rates in effect at December 31, 2020, and projected scenarios represent increases of 25% and 50%.

Operation	Balance at 2020		Risk	Scenario I Current scenario		Scenario II		Scenario III
Loans – BNDES		15,653	TJLP increase		769		961		1,153
Interest rate subject to variation					4.91%		6.14%		7.37%
Financing		83,322	CDI increase		2,291		2,864		3,437
Interest rate subject to variation					2.75%		3.44%		4.13%

25.8

Capital management

Company’s capital management aims to ensure that a strong credit rating is maintained before institutions, as well as a strong capital relationship, so as to support Company’s business and leverage shareholders’ value.

The Company controls its capital structure by adjusting it to the current economic conditions. In order to maintain an adjusted structure, the Company may pay dividends, return capital to the shareholders, fund new loans, issue promissory notes and contract derivative transactions.

The Company considers within its net debt structure: loans and financing less cash and cash equivalents. The financial leverage ratios on December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 can be summarized as follows:

	2020		2019		2018
Loans and borrowings		98,975		63,346		48,229
Cash and cash equivalents		(59,979)		(12,342)		(50,676)

Management remuneration

The Company does not have any additional post-employment obligation. The Company has two Long-Term Incentive Programs Granted, in 2018 and 2019, with eligibility to the Company’s Statutory Directors, in a bonus format, in which payments will be made in 2022 and 2023, respectively, based on goals that must be achieved in December 2020 and 2021, respectively. In order to executives acquire the right of two Long-Term Incentive payments, the program has a retention period, in which it indicates that executives need to remain in the company during the years 2021 and 2022.

Subsequent events

Probable acquisition of One To One Engine Desenvolvimento e Licenciamento de Sistemas de Informática S.A. — Direct One

On March 2021, Zenvia Brazil entered into purchase agreements for the direct and indirect acquisition of 100% of the share capital of One To One Engine Desenvolvimento e Licenciamento de Sistemas de Informática S.A. – Direct One, or D1. D1 is a platform that connects different data sources to enable a single customer view layer, allowing the creation of multichannel communications, generation of variable documents, authenticated message delivery and contextualized conversational experiences. The consummation of the transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including the consummation of Zenvia Brazil initial public offering. The transaction is expected to be concluded in the second quarter of 2021. Under the terms of the purchase agreements and as part of the purchase price, on the closing date, (1) Zenvia Brazil will contribute R$40 million in cash into D1; (2) Zenvia Brazil will pay to D1 shareholders an amount which is currently estimated in R$270 million, which will be based on a valuation of 13 (thirteen) times D1’s gross profit for the last twelve months (LTM) ending on March 31, 2021 minus D1 net debt as of the same date and adjusted by working capital; and (3) the Company will deliver a number of its own shares to certain D1 shareholders, equivalent to an amount estimated to correspond to R$139 million, that will be calculated based on the valuation of 13 (thirteen) times D1’s gross profit for the last twelve months (LTM) ending on March 31, 2021 minus D1 net debt as of the same date and adjusted by working capital, divided by 13 (thirteen) times Zenvia Brazil’s consolidated gross profit for the last twelve months (LTM).

Additionally, as further consideration for the D1 Acquisition, the Company also agreed to pay amounts to D1 shareholders which are currently estimated to be (i) R$57 million in the first quarter of 2022; and (ii) R$174 million in the first quarter of 2023, based on a certain multiple times D1’s gross profit for the last twelve months (LTM) ending on March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

The estimates are based on information currently available. The actual consideration to be transferred may change as a result of D1’s and Zenvia Brazil’s results of operations and conclusion of the review of LTM ending March 31, 2021. The estimates presented above are preliminary and subject to that transaction progressing to a sufficiently advanced stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement of final consideration amounts.Upon consummation of the D1 Acquisition, the Company will also become indirect holder of 100% of the share capital of Smarkio Tecnologia Ltda., or Smarkio, a

F-44

TABLE OF CONTENTS

wholly-owned subsidiary of D1 and a cloud-based company that combines an automated marketing platform through chatbots with a platform for creating, integrating and processing conversational interfaces that can be used by developers and business users. Smarkio was acquired by D1 in December 2020 and D1 started consolidating Smarkio in its financial statements as of December 1, 2020.

The acquisition of D1 is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions set forth in the definitive agreements governing this transaction, including the initial public offering (IPO) of Zenvia Brazil. To the extent these conditions are not satisfied or waived or to the extent the IPO is not concluded, the Company may not complete the D1 Acquisition.

New financing agreements after the year-end and until the date of approval of these financial statements

On January 20, 2021, Zenvia Brazil entered into a financing agreement with Banco Bradesco S.A. in the aggregate amount of R$ 30,000 for working capital purposes. Following a one year grace period during which interest is payable, the loan will be paid in 36 monthly installments with the first installment of principal and interest due on February 21, 2022 and the last installment due on January 20, 2025.

On February 3, 2021, Zenvia Brazil entered into two financing agreements with Banco do Brasil S.A. in the aggregate amount of R$50 million, being one agreement in the amount of R$18,000 with an eighteen-month grace period and 24 months of amortization and the other agreement in the amount of R$32,000 with a twelve-month grace period and 36 months of amortization. Each of the agreements provide that Zenvia Brazil is subject to a financial covenant of maintaining a net-debt to EBITDA ratio of less than or equal to 3.5x and that the last installment is on August 27, 2024 (R$ 18,000) and February 27, 2025 (R$ 32,000).

On March 25, 2021, Zenvia Brazil entered into an agreement with Banco Votorantim S.A. – Nassau Branch for a CCB in the aggregate amount of US$1,453 thousand, convertible to reais at the execution date under a swap agreement (Contrato para Operações de Derivativos com Pacto de Cessão Fiduciária) entered into with Banco Votorantim S.A., resulting in a total aggregate amount of R$8,000. The transaction is secured by a fiduciary assignment (cessão fiduciária de direitos creditórios) of certain credits held at a Zenvia Brazil bank account (conta vinculada) held by Zenvia Brazil with Banco Votorantim S.A. Following a six-month grace period during which interest is payable, the loan will be paid in 12 monthly installments, with the first installment of principal and interest due on October 25, 2021 and the last installment due on September 26, 2022.

1 General information

Rodati Motors Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated on January 28, 2014, in the State of Delaware, United States of America, with its headquarters located at 3500 South Dupont Highway, Dover, Kent County, DE 19901.

Rodati Motors with its subsidiaries are together “the Group” or “the Company”.

Rodati Motors Corporation’s main business purpose is the offering of services involving the Sirena software, which is a multichannel Software as a Service (SaaS) for use by Business to Business (B2B) Client Relationship Management (CRM) companies, mainly focusing on the Whatsapp channel, which allows to centralize, distribute and respond to incoming clients via Facebook, Instagram, chatbots, websites and Whatsapp.

To execute its business purpose, the Company has opened subsidiaries in Argentina, Brazil and Mexico. The Company is in the initial phase of its commercial activities. In this scenario, Management has been focusing on the creation and development of commercial markets. Therefore, operations have been generating recurring losses. The resources to ensure the company’s growth will come from the operations, loans from financial entities and capital contributions from Zenvia. The acquisition of the Company by Zenvia is intended at integrating the operations of both companies in a single technological platform to provide a more complete set of solutions to customers. In management’s assessment, the integration of the businesses and the resulting synergies will enable the Company to increase sales, cash flows from operations and the availability of financial resources generated by its own operations, as well as from the continuous financial support of its parent company.

The Company´s subsidiaries are Rodati Services S.A., a company incorporated in Argentina in July 21, 2014; Rodati Servicios , S.A. de CV, a company incorporated in Mexico in December 13, 2017; and Rodati Motors Central de Informações de Veículos Automotores Ltda., a company incorporated in Brazil in May 12, 2014.

On July 24, 2020, the shareholders of Rodati Motors Corporation entered into a share purchase and sale agreement to sell 100% of its shares to Zenvia Mobile Serviços Digitais S.A. The sale price at the closing date of the transaction amounted to US$ 24 million at the time of closing.

Corona virus (Covid-19) — Financial and economic impacts

In March 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared that the Corona virus (“COVID-19”) outbreak represented a pandemic. In this context, the Company has been actively working on prevention measures , following WHO guidelines.

Main risks and uncertainties resulting from COVID-19

Aware of the operational risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic, Management has been assessing the impacts of possible losses and impacts on its financial statements, especially in relation to risks and measures that are being taken by companies to mitigate the impact from this pandemic.

F-51

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

(in US Dollars)

Considering the scenario of uncertainties regarding the eradication of the pandemic for the resumption of normal activities and its negative impact on global economy, Management has evaluated the effects subsequent to the reporting date of July 23, 2020, including on its estimates of results and cash generation, applying its best estimates, and concluded that there is no need to record provisions for impairment of financial and non-financial assets directly attributable to the pandemic as no material adverse effects on its operations were noted and no other facts that could raise doubts about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern were identified by management.

3 Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB),except for the lack of presentation of a statement of financial position and related notes as of July 23, 2019, and the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income and related notes for the comparative period from January 1, 2019 to July 23, 2019, which constitute a departure from IFRS as issued by IASB.

The issuance of these financial statements was approved by the Executive Board on March 24, 2021.

Measurement basis

The financial statements were prepared based on the historical cost.

Functional and presentation currency

The consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars (US$), the functional and presentation currency of the Company. All financial information has been rounded to the nearest Dollar amount, except where otherwise indicated. Rodati Motors Central de Informaçoes de Veiculos Automotores Ltda. has the local currency, Brazilian Real (BRL), as its functional currency; Rodati Services S.A has the local currency, Argentinean Peso (ARG), as its functional currency; and Rodati Servicios, S.A. de CV. has the local currency, the Mexican Pesos (MEX), as its functional currency.

c. Use of estimates and judgments

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management has made judgements and

estimates that affect the application of the Company´s accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates

are recognised prospectively.

(c.1) Judgments

Information about judgments referring to the adoption of accounting policies which could impact significantly the amounts recognized in the financial statements are included in the following note:

Property, plant and equipment — Note 9: Useful life of property, plant and equipment

(c.2) Uncertainties on assumptions and estimates

Information on uncertainties as to assumptions and estimates that pose a high risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next fiscal year are included in the following note:

Allowance for for expected credit losses — Note 6: main assumptions in the determination of expected losses rate;

(i)

Measurement of fair value

Certain of the Company’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair value, for financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.

Level 1: Prices quoted (not adjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs, except for quoted prices, included in Level 1 which are observable for assets or liabilities, directly (prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).

Level 3: Inputs, for assets or liabilities, which are not based on observable market data (non-observable inputs).

The Company recognizes transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the end of the financial statements’ period in which changes occurred.

Additional information on the assumptions adopted in the measurement of fair values is included in Note 20 — Risk management and financial instruments.

4 Significant accounting policies

The main accounting policies used to prepare these consolidated financial statements are as follows.

Consolidation procedures

a.i) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The Company controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date in which control commences until the date on which control ceases.

a.ii) Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intra-group balances and transactions and any unrealized income or expenses (except for foreign currency transaction gains and losses) arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated.

F-53

Translation of the financial statements of subsidiaries

For subsidiaries abroad whose functional currency is different from the US dollar, the asset and liability accounts are translated into the Company’s functional currency, using the exchange rates as of the reporting date, and revenue and expenses are translated using the average monthly foreign exchange rate. The resulting translation adjustments are recognized in the specific “Cumulative Translation Adjustments” line item in equity.

Revenue

Performance obligations and revenue recognition policies

Type of service			Nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, including significant payment terms			Revenue recognition policies
SaaS			Revenues are mainly derived from fees based on the usage-based services. The use of these services is measured at the time the service is available to customers or based on volumes of interactions between the Company’s clients and their own customers. Revenues are recognized through the period of time the service is available for use or based on usage by customers, depending on each agreement and on the particular agreement with customers.			Revenue is recognized upon the transfer of control of the services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the company expects to receive in exchange for those services. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Amounts that have been invoiced are recorded in accounts receivable and in revenue or deferred revenue (classified in other liabilities), depending on whether the revenue recognition criteria have been met. Arrangements with customers do not provide for rights of return of right to take possession of the software supporting the applications.

Financial instruments

(i) Recognition and initial measurement

Trade accounts receivable are initially recognized on the date that they were originated. All other financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the instrument’s contractual provisions.

(ii) Subsequent classification and measurement

Upon initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured: at amortized cost or FVTPL.

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both conditions below and is not designated as measured at FVTPL:

•

is held within a business model whose purpose is to maintain financial assets to receive contractual cash flows; and

F-55

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

(in US Dollars)

•

its contractual terms generate, on specific dates, cash flows only related to the payment of principal and interest on outstanding principal value.

Financial assets held for trading or managed with a performance evaluated based on fair value are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets — evaluation whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest

•

contingent events that change the amount or timing of cash flows;

•

terms that may adjust the contractual rate, including variable rates;

•

the prepayment and the extension of the term; and

•

the terms that limit the Company’s access to cash flows of specific assets.

Whenever applicable, the prepayment is consistent with the principal and interest payment criterion if the prepayment amount mostly represents the unpaid principal and interest amounts on the outstanding principal amount — which may include an additional reasonable compensation due to the early termination of the contract. Furthermore, regarding a financial asset acquired for an amount lower or greater than the nominal value of the contract, the prepayment permission or requirement for an amount representing the nominal value of the contract plus contractual interest (which may also include reasonable additional compensation for early termination of the contract), accrued (but not paid), are treated as consistent with this criterion if the fair value of the prepayment is immaterial at initial recognition.

	Financial assets at FVTPL			These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net income, plus interest or dividend income, is recognized in profit or loss.
	Financial assets at amortized cost			These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Amortized cost is reduced for impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and impairment losses are recognized in the income statement. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

d. Impairment

Non-derivative financial assets

(i) Financial instruments and contractual assets

The Company recognizes allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost;

F-56

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

(in US Dollars)

•

debt securities with low credit risk on the statement of financial position date; and

•

other debt securities and bank balances for which the credit risk has not significantly increased since the beginning of initial recognition.

Allowances for trade receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.

The Company assumes that the credit risk in a financial asset increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due.

The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when:

— the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full, without recourse by the Company to actions such as realising security (if any is held); or

— the financial asset is more than 180 days past due.

Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. 12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).

The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.

(ii) Measurement of ECLs

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls.

(iii) Presentation of allowance for ECL in the statement of financial position

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.

(iv) Write-off

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written-off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. The Company expects no significant recovery from the amount written-off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company´s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

Non financial assets

At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (property and plant and equipment) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

F-57

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

(in US Dollars)

For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets.

The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. As at July 23, 2020, no impairment indicators were identified by the Company.

Property, plant and equipment

(i)

Recognition and measurement

Property and equipment items are measured at the historical purchase cost, restated by inflationary effects for subsidiaries operating in hyperinflationary economies, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses (if applicable).

The cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of assets.

Gains and losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment items are determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the book value of Property, plant and equipment and are recognized net within “Other income” in the profit or loss.

(ii)

Subsequent costs

(iii) Depreciation

The depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and changes are ecognized as a change in accounting estimate.

Income tax and social contribution

Current and deferred income taxes for the year are calculated at the rate in force in each country in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate, levied on taxable profit as established by ruling legislation of each country; this calculation takes into consideration offset of tax loss carry forwards, following applicable ruling limitations.

Income tax and social contribution expenses comprise current and deferred income taxes. The current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss unless they are related to business combinations or items directly recognized in equity.

Income taxes applicable to the parent company, located in the United States are calculated at 21% of taxable income for the year.

For the subsidiary in Brazil, the current income and social contribution taxes are calculated based on the rates of 15% plus a surcharge of 10% on taxable income in excess of Brazilian Reais (BRL) 240,000

F-58

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

(in US Dollars)

(US$ 46,469 at the exchange rate at July 23, 2020) per annum for income tax and 9% on taxable income for social contribution and consider the offsetting of tax loss carryforwards and negative basis of social contribution limited to 30% of annual taxable income.

For the subsidiaries in Mexico and Argentina, the current income taxes are calculated based on the rate of 30%.

(i) Current tax

Current tax is the tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustments to taxes payable or receivable in relation to previous years.

The amount of current tax payable or receivable is the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. They are measured using the tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met.

(ii) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used for tax purposes.

Deferred income tax and social contribution assets are recognized for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred income tax and social contribution assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced when their realization is no longer probable.

Deferred taxes are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the rates enacted or substantively enacted up to the reporting date.

The measurement of deferred taxes reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred income tax and social contribution assets are reviewed at the end of the reporting period and will be reduced to the extent their realization is no longer probable.

e. Provisions

Contingent assets are not recognized until a decision on lawsuits is final and unappealable in favor of the Company on a permanent basis and when it is virtually certain that the asset will be realized. Taxes whose enforceability is being challenged in the judicial sphere are recorded taking into consideration the concept of “legal obligation”.

g. Leases

•

Leasing of “low value” assets;

•

Short-term leases (that is, with a lease term of 12 months or less);

•

Leases composed of variable amounts;

•

Leases in which the Company does not have control over the asset; and

•

Leases with indefinite term.

As of the beginning of a lease contract, the lessee recognizes a liability for lease payments (ie, a lease liability) and an asset that represents the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term (ie, the right of use asset). Lessees are required to recognize separately the interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset.

Lessees are also required to reassess the lease liability in the event of certain events (for example, a change in the lease term, a change in future lease payments as a result of a change in an index or rate used to determine such payments). In general, the lessee recognizes the remeasurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

IFRS 16 also requires lessees and lessors to make more comprehensive disclosures than those provided for in IAS 17.

There are no material leases to be recorded in financial statements.

Accounting policies as of January 1, 2019

At the beginning of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease. A contract is, or contains a lease, if the contract transfers the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Leasing of low value assets

The Company opted not to recognize right of use asset and lease liabilities for leases of low value assets and short-term leases. The Company recognizes lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

h. Finance income and costs

i. Foreign currency

denominated in foreign currency were translated into functional currency at the foreign exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. The gains and losses from the fluctuations in the exchange rates on monetary assets and liabilities are recognized in the statement of operations.

j. Hyperinflationary economy

As from July 2018, considering that the accumulated inflation in the last three years in Argentina was over 100%, the application of the Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies (IAS 29) has been required in the preparation of financial information on the subsidiary located in Argentina. In accordance with IAS 29, non-monetary assets and liabilities, Equity and the statement of income of subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies are adjusted by the change in the Consumer price index of the currency. As a result of that, the Company applied IAS 29 to its subsidiary in Argentina. The non-monetary assets and liabilities recorded at historical cost and the Equity and the results of the subsidiary in Argentina were updated for inflation. The impacts of hyperinflation resulting from changes in general purchasing power up to January 1, 2019 (first time adoption of IFRS) were reported as equity adjustment and the impacts of changes in general purchasing power as from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 and from January 1, 2020 to July 23, 2020 were reported as finance costs in the statements of profit or loss.

k. Share-based payments

The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment arrangements granted to employees is generally recognised as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.

On July 24, 2020, the Company was 100% acquired by Zenvia Mobile Serviços Digitais S.A. The purchase price consisted of an upfront cash payment of US$ 10,923 on July 24, 2020, the closing date. Following the acquisition, the former sharesholders will be subject to additional deferred payments of US$ 13,584, due in 3 installments payable in 6, 12 and 24 month after the acquisition date. The deferred payments bear interests of 10% p.a. plus 0.75% for each month since the closing date, fully payable on the second installment. In case of a liquidation event (defined in the contract as a strategic sale of the Company or a an Initial Public Offering) within the period until the full settlement of the deferred consideration payable, part of the payment will be made in a variable quantity of the Zenvia shares, depending on the valuation of such shares associated with the liquidation events, limited to the cash amounts defined in the contract. The total consideration transferred was equivalent to US$ 24,507.

In connection to the acquisition, the restricted shares plan was cancelled at the acquisition date and the shares were cash settled by Zenvia to the former shareholders as part of the consideration transferred. Due to a provision in the share-based payment arrangement whereby the restrict stocks would fully vest upon a change in control, the Company recorded such event in the pre-acquisition period as an acceleration of the vesting period, recognizing all the impacts in profit or loss and a corresponding entry in equity.

20.3 Credit Risk

It results from any difficulty in collecting the amounts of services provided to the customers.

The Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to credit risk from their interest earning bank deposits.

The Company has been implementing policies of credit risk related to the provision of services to minimize credit related to trade accounts receivable by improving controls on the customer base and delinquency management by means of creating policies regarding the concession of services. There is no concentration of transactions with customers.

In connection with credit risk relating to financial institutions, the Company and its subsidiaries seek to diversify such exposure among financial institutions.

Trade accounts receivable		373,971		150,756
		2,601,742		1,552,373

The Company determines its allowance for expected credit losses by applying the following criteria:

•

The Company provides for expected losses by applying a percentage of historical effective losses;

Additionaly the Company considers that accounts receivable had a significant increase in credit risk and provides them for:

•

All notes receivables past due for more than 6 months;

•

20.4 Market risk

Interest rate: Interest rate risk arises from interest earning bank deposits rate in the United States of America, which may adversely affect the financial income in the event an unfavorable change in interest and inflation rates takes place. Inflation rates in the Argentina market can adversely affect financial costs on the consolidated financial statements due to monetary correction of non-monetary assets, liabilities and equity.

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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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.

Operations

One to One Engine Desenvolvimento e Licenciamento de Sistemas de Informática S.A. (the “Company”) is a closely held corporation governed by articles of incorporation since May 2015, and, in compliance with prevailing regulations, it is established to run for an undetermined period of time. It is headquartered at Rua Luís Correia de Melo, 92, conjunto 281 a 282, in the city of São Paulo.

It is engaged in the development, licensing and sale of software, as well as providing information technology support, assistance and consulting services, in addition to holding ownership interest in other companies as a member or shareholder.

The Company works in the development and licensing of software for companies with high volumes of communication with customers. The software generates the documentation and organizes the sending of multi-channel messages. Smarkio works in the development and licensing of virtual assistant software (“chatbots”). In addition to the software licensing, consulting in information technology is also part of the services provided, with the specific purpose of implementing and deploying the software that is being licensed.

Both the Company’s and Smarkio’s customers work in three main industries: financial services, insurance and retailing and are spread all through the Brazilian territory.

Impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic

The Covid-19 pandemic had a positive effect to the Company’s net revenue, as it increased the adoption of the software solutions that the Company and its subsidiary Smarkio offer. Digitization and automation of services, as well as electronic sending of documentation and other communications and a consequent reduction in the dependence on human services (including printing and mailing) became part of the strategy of customers and potential customers.

We have a variable cost structure, mainly related to net revenues. Our marketing and sales expenses are also variable and depend on our strategy to leverage customer acquisition. As a response to the increasing market potential, marketing and sales expenses increased in 2020. The increase in G&A Expenses is rather related to the strengthening of the management team and is not directly related to the effects of the pandemic.

Other impacts brought by the pandemic are the following: i. 100% of the employees started working from home; ii. the need of some positions was revalued and some workers dismissed; iii. the working hours of employees were reduced by 25% from April to July 2020; and iv. payment periods and conditions were renegotiated with suppliers.

Liquidity and continuity of operations

A growth in revenue was attempted as part of the strategy for the years 2019 and 2020, which was based on a reinforcement of the sales and engineering teams, what accounts for the significant increase in fixed expenses with payroll and accumulated losses.

The Company has had accounting loss and negative working capital in the last years and recorded accumulated losses of R$21,961 as at December 31, 2020 (R$10,501 as at December 31, 2019).

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption of the Company continuing as a going concern, as well as recovery of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of activities.

A successful transition to profitable operations depends on an appropriate level of positive cash flows to cover expenses.

Other initiatives that support the operating continuity of the Company are described below:

(a)

Improvement in gross margin due to reduction in main costs, in particular brokerage and cloud computing;

(b)

Reversal of the negative working capital through an increase in liabilities and issuance of private bonds corresponding to a total amount of R$42,000 maturing in 54 months, under conditions agreed upon in a memorandum of understanding executed with the creditor on December 30, 2020, in addition to settlement of obligations with selling shareholders of Smarkio, as described in note 14, by using part of the loan and other already existing funds;

On October 9, 2020, a memorandum of understandings was executed with the company Zenvia Mobile Serviços Digitais S.A. (“Zenvia”), which indicates the intension of signing an agreement to acquire 100% of shares of the Company. If the transaction takes place, a primary investment is projected through the issuance of shares (increase in capital) corresponding to R$40,000. The Acquisition has not closed to date and its effectiveness is subject to the Company´s IPO and customary contractual closing conditions.

1.1.

Approval of the financial statements

The Board of Directors approved these financial statements during a meeting held on March 15, 2021.

1.2.

Declaration of compliance

Previously, the Company’s financial statements had been prepared based on Brazilian accounting practices and Brazilian standard NBC TG 1000 — Accounting for small and medium size companies, approved by the Federal Accounting Council (CFC) and pronouncements issued by the Committed of Accounting Pronouncements (CPCs).

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the responsibility of the Company’s Management and in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) (please refer to note 1.3 for more details on the first time adoption).

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on historical cost, except for financial instruments measured at fair value. These consolidated financial statements include all significant consolidation information, which is consistent with the data Management used in running the Company.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. This also requires Management to make use of judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas that involve a larger degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where the assumptions and estimates are significant for the consolidated financial statements are described in item 1.6 below.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Brazilian reais, the Company’s functional currency.

The consolidated statement of financial position is presented according to the order of realization or settlement of assets and liabilities. The moment of their realization or settlement depends not only on liquidity, but also on judgment on the part of Management about the expected changes in market prices and other significant aspects.

1.3.

First time adoption of IFRS

entity that is adopting IFRS for the first time to prepare a complete set of the consolidated financial statements covering its first IFRS reporting period. IFRS 1 also demands the entity to use the same accounting practices to the preceding year and throughout all periods presented in its first IFRS in the consolidated financial statements (that is, January 1, 2019).

Before the first time adoption of IFRS, the Company presented consolidated statements prepared according to Brazilian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“BR GAAP”), based on Brazilian standard NBC TG 1000 — Accounting for small and mid size companies, approved by the Federal Accounting Council (CFC) and also based on pronouncements issued by the Committee of Accounting Pronouncements (CPC) for small and mid size companies (“CPC PME”).

These consolidated financial statements are the first consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS and are consistent with the accounting practices mentioned in note 2. As established in accounting standards, the Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to IFRS applicable as at December 31, 2020, together with comparative period data for the year ended December 31, 2019. In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the date adopted as transition to IFRS was the one of the consolidated statement of financial position prepared on January 1, 2019.

Note 3 presents the impact of the transition to IFRS.

1.4.

Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the consideration transferred measured at acquisition date and the amount of any limited partner interests in the acquired entity. For each business combination, the Company elects whether to measure the limited partner interests in the acquired entity at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquired entity’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses.

When the Company acquires a business, it assesses the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. If the business combination is achieved in stages, any previously held equity interest is re-measured at its acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at fair value at the Acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument and within the scope of IFRS 9 is measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized either in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (loss) or as a change to other comprehensive income (loss). Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not re-measured and subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

On November 11, 2020, during a special meeting of shareholders it was approved the acquisition of all ownership interest of the company Smarkio Tecnologia S.A. Such enterprise is engaged in the development, and operating of corporate conversational interfaces, such as chatbots and virtual assistants.

On November 30, 2020, an acquisition agreement was executed between One to One, as acquirer, and the selling company to allow the internal use of the services of the purchased enterprise, besides making possible to take advantage of existing synergies in their markets.

The fair value of Smarkio’s equity was R$5,859, based on the fair values of assets obtained and liabilities assumed in the acquisition.

Since the acquisition date, Smarkio has contributed R$3,318 to the Company’s net revenues and a positive impact of R$587 to Company’s statement of profit and loss. If the acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2020, the Company’s net revenue would have been R$54,086 and the Company’s statement of profit or loss would the year ended December 31, 2020 would have been a net income of R$2,144.

As set forth in the sale and purchase agreement, the total consideration to be transferred is R$62,331 to be settled as follows:

(a)

First payment: R$17,331, of which R$867 was paid at closing date and the remaining R$16,464 are due in up to 180 from closing date;

(b)

Second payment: R$40,000 due in up to 180 days from closing date;

(c)

Price Adjustment — fair value of earn-out payments which will payable if the following metrics are reached: i. Growth of at least 20% in net operating revenue from January to December 2021 in comparison to the same period of 2020; and ii. Net margin of at least 15% determined from January to December 2021): R$5,000 due in up to 180 days from closing date.

(b)

Represents the fair value of customers portfolio considering that such customers tend to maintain the generation of revenue for certain a period of time. The fair value considers the future economic benefits generated by the permanence of such customers portfolio;

(c)

Represents the fair value of the non-compete which prevents the selling shareholders of developing any businesses that may represent competition with Smarkio’s activities for a period of 4 years.

The valuation techniques used are described below:

Assets acquired			Valuation technique
Intangible assets — Recognition of the platform			The MPEEM methodology (Multi Period Excess Earnings Method) is mostly used to measure the value of primary assets or most important assets of a company. According to that method, in determining fair values, the cash flows attributable to all other assets are subtracted through a contributory asset charge (CAC). The MPEEM method assumes that the fair value of an intangible asset is the same as the present value of the cash flows attributable to that asset, less the contribution of other assets, both tangible and intangible ones.
Intangible assets — Recognition of the portfolio of customers and of the non-competition clause			The With or without methodology consists in comparing the actual scenario with a hypothetical one, the first where the non-competition is valid and a hypothetical situation where such agreement did not exist and, as a consequence, competition would be in place to reduce part of the expected economic benefits of the Company.

IFRS15 — Revenue from agreement with customers establishes a new and comprehensive model in five steps that must be applied to revenue obtained from customers. According to such standard, revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for the transfer of goods or services to a customer. It was published in December 2016, coming into effect starting January 2018. The changes brought by the standard have not significantly impacted the Company’s consolidated financial statements, seeing revenue is recognized according to the accrual basis when the control over the service is transferred, creating the consideration that the Company will receive.

Revenue comes mainly from the software use licensing of the cloud-based platform that control multi-channel communications, including the services of generation and safeguard of documents, blockchain registration and sending of messages through SMS, e-mail, Whatsapp and RCS channels, in addition to push notifications. Revenue also comes from the professional services of implantation and maintenance of software.

2.2.1. Performance obligations and revenue recognition practices

The table below supplies information on the types and moment of fulfillment of performance obligations established in sales agreement with customers, including significant payment terms and related revenue recognition policies.

Type of Service			Moment of the fulfillment of performance obligations, including significant payment terms			Revenue recognition policy
Software use licensing			Such revenue is based mainly on a fixed amount charged for the use of the platform (subscription) according to the sales agreements executed with customers. It is monthly recognized starting the moment the access to the platform is made available until cancellation. There are also additional services, such as generation of documents, organization of multi-channel communications and triggered messages. The use of those services is measured according to the individual volume consumed. Revenue is based on those volumes and on the unit values established in the sales agreement, monthly recognized according to the use. The issuance of invoices is made at the beginning of the month following the use. There are some cases where customers validate the amounts before the issuance of invoices. Receivables are collected from 15 to 60 days after billing.			Revenue is recognized when the control over the services is transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those products or services. Revenue is recognized at gross value, considering the taxation to be paid to governmental authorities. The amounts billed are recorded in accounts receivable or advances from customers depending on certain recognition criteria. The agreements of the Company with customers do not establish the right of items being returned nor grant them ownership rights to the licensed software.

Type of Service			Moment of the fulfillment of performance obligations, including significant payment terms			Revenue recognition policy
Professional services			Revenue from professional services is based on the provision of information technology related services, focused on the integration and maintenance of the platform (software). The amounts collected are usually based on the hour/labor price established in the sales agreement, multiplied by the number of hours worked. Revenue recognition takes place according to the delivery of the services or adjusted by the percentage of completion. However, the issuance of invoices is previously made at the moment of execution of the sales agreement or proposal. Receivables are collected from 15 to 60 days after billing.			Revenue is recognized when the control over the services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those services. Revenue is recognized at gross value, considering the taxation to be paid later to governmental authorities. The amounts billed are recorded in accounts receivable or advances from customers, depending on certain recognition criteria.

2.3.

Cash and cash equivalents

Include petty cash, positive balances in bank accounts, as well as short-term financial investment maturing within up to three months and with insignificant risk of change in value. Short-term financial investment included in cash equivalents is measured as a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss.

2.4.

Financial instruments

A financial instrument is only recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs directly attributable to their acquisition or issuance, except for financial assets and financial liabilities stated at fair value through profit or loss, where such costs are carried directly into the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Subsequent measurements take place at the dates where the consolidated statements of financial position are prepared, according to rules established for each type of financial asset and liability.

As at December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no operations with derivative financial instruments, or hedging operations.

IFRS9 — Financial instruments addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and liabilities. IFRS 9 was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2019 and did not have material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2.4.1. Recognition and initial measurement

Trade accounts receivable are initially recognized on the date they were originated. All other financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at the date where the Company becomes a party to a contract.

A financial liability, or a financial asset (unless it is a receivable without a significant financing component) is initially measured at fair value. Measurement includes transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of items not measured at fair value through profit or loss. A trade account receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at transaction price.

2.4.2. Subsequent classification and measurement

During initial recognition, a financial asset is classified at amortized cost or FVTPL.

Financial assets held for trading or managed based on fair value performance are measured at FVTPL.

Financial assets — evaluation of whether contractual cash flows are only payments of principal and interest

	Financial assets measured at FVTPL			After initial measurement, they are carried at fair value. Net revenue, including interest or dividends, is recognized in the statement of income.
	Financial assets recognized at amortized cost			After initial measurement, they are measured at amortized cost according to the effective interest rate method and impairment is deducted from amortized cost. Revenue from interest received, foreign exchange gains and impairment losses is recognized in the statement of income. Any earnings or losses determined in reversals are also carried in the statement of income.

2.5.

Trade accounts receivable

Trade accounts receivable correspond to the amounts to be received from customers for the rendering of services along the ordinary course of business. They are initially recognized at fair value and, subsequently, recognized at amortized cost under the effective interest method, less estimated impairment, if any.

2.6.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at depreciated cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. The Company capitalizes expenditures for major nonrecurring projects that increase the square footage, extend the useful life of, or enhance the value of the property and have a useful life that exceeds the current period. These assets are depreciated over the lesser of the remaining life of the property or the estimated useful life of the asset.

	Annual depreciation rate		Useful lives of assets
Furniture and fixtures		10.00%	10 years
Machinery, devices and equipment		10.00%	10 years
Vehicles		10.00%	10 years
IT equipment		20.00%	5 years
Communications devices		10.00%	10 years
Facilities		10.00%	10 years
Leasehold improvements		38.71%	2.6 years
Hardware		20.00%	5 years

Rights obtained on assets destined for the maintenance of the activities of the Company and of its subsidiaries involving financial lease operations are recorded as if they were finance leases. At the beginning of each operation, a fixed asset and a financing liability are recognized, and, when there is no purchase option, the assets are submitted to depreciation along the term of the contract.

Gains and losses from the disposal of items are determined by comparison of sales values with residual book amounts and they are recognized in the statement of income.

2.7.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets result from contractual rights or other legally established rights. The Company´s software rights are recorded at investment cost until the software is registered, less amortizable amounts, calculated on a straight-line basis along its useful life.

Internally developed software expenditure on the research phase of projects to develop new customized software for IT is recognized as an expense as incurred. Costs that are directly attributable to a project’s development phase are recognized as intangible assets, provided they meet the following recognition requirements:

•

the development costs can be measured reliably

•

the project is technically and commercially feasible

•

the Company intends to and has sufficient resources to complete the project

•

the Company has the ability to use or sell the software

•

the software will generate probable future economic benefits.

Development costs not meeting these criteria for capitalization are expensed as incurred. Directly attributable costs include employee costs incurred on software development along with an appropriate portion of relevant overheads and borrowing costs.

2.8.

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment losses, if any.

2.9.

Impairment test

The Company assesses whether there has been an impairment in the value of its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

If an indication of impairment exists, the recoverable amount is established to measure the loss. If it is not possible to determine the recoverable amount for the individual asset, then the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit of the asset must be determined. Assets are allocated to cash-generating units or smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation base can be identified.

The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value and carrying amount, less its costs of disposal or value in use. In evaluating the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to present value at a discount rate before taxes that reflects the current market time value of money and the specific risks the asset is exposed to for which the estimate of future cash flows was not adjusted.

If the recoverable amount (or cash-generating unit) determined is lower than its carrying amount, such carrying amount (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable value and the impairment immediately recognized in the statement of income.

2.10.

Discount to present value of assets and liabilities

Monetary assets and liabilities are discounted to present value during initial recognition of a transaction, considering contractual cash flows, as well as explicit, and in certain cases, implicit interest rates of the assets and liabilities, in addition to the rates charged in the market for similar transactions. Subsequently, such interest is transferred to financial revenue and expense accounts in the statement of income under the effective interest rate method.

2.11.

Loans and financing

Loans and financing are state at amortized cost, plus inflation and interest incurred through the end of the reporting period. Any differences between the amounts raised (net of transaction costs) and repayment value are recognized under the effective interest method in the statement of income along the period where loans are outstanding.

2.13.

Other current and noncurrent assets and liabilities

An asset is recognized in the balance sheet when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the Company and its cost or value can be reliably measured. A liability is recognized in the balance sheet when the Company has a legal or construed obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of funds will be required to settle it. Where applicable, the corresponding charges and monetary variation incurred are added to it. Provisions are recorded when:

(a) A present obligation (legal or constructive) has arisen as a result of a past event;

(b) Its settlement is expected to result in an outflow of resources;

Assets and liabilities are classified as current when their realization or settlement will probably take place within the following 12 months. Otherwise, they are stated as noncurrent ones.

2.14.

Income taxes

The Company follows guidance in IAS 12 — Income Taxes, with respect to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The Company must determine whether a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not threshold based on the technical merits of the position. Once a position meets the recognition threshold, measurement of the position reported in the consolidated financial statements is determined. The Company has determined that no material unrecognized tax benefits or liabilities exist at December 31, 2020 and 2019.

According to Brazilian regulations, income and social contribution taxes are based on the entity’s taxable income at a rate of 25% in relation to income tax and 9% for social contribution tax.

2.15.

Deferred income tax and social contribution

Deferred income and social contribution taxes are determined on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the book values included in the consolidated financial statements. The rates of those taxes are the same used for the calculation of current levying. As a result of a lack of profit in recent years, there has been no recognition of any deferred tax credit.

Impacts from the first time adoption of IFRS

International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) were adopted for the first time in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as at January 1, 2019. IFRS 1 “First time adoption of IFRS” requires an entity that is adopting IFRS for the first time to prepare a complete set of the consolidated financial statements covering its first IFRS reporting period. IFRS 1 also demands the entity to use the same accounting practices to the preceding year and throughout all periods presented in its first IFRS in the consolidated financial statements (that is, January 1, 2019).

Before the first time adoption of IFRS, the Company presented consolidated statements prepared according to Brazilian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“BR GAAP”), based on Brazilian

standard NBC TG 1000 — Accounting for small and mid size companies, approved by the Federal Accounting Council (CFC) and also based on pronouncements issued by the Committee of Accounting Pronouncements (CPC) for small and mid size companies (“CPC PME”).

The estimates as at January 1, 2019 and as at December 31, 2019 are consistent with those made for the same dates in accordance with BR GAAP (after adjustments to reflect any differences in accounting policies), apart from the following items where application of BR GAAP did not require estimation:

•

Pensions and other postemployment benefits;

•

Share-based payment transactions; and

•

Investments in equity instruments — unquoted equity shares.

The estimates used by the Company to present these amounts in accordance with IFRS reflect conditions as at January 1, 2019 (the date of transition to IFRS) and as at December 31, 2019.

Reconciliation between BR GAAP and IFRS on the transition date — January 1, 2019:

(a) IFRS 16 Remeasurements — Lease liabilities

In effect commencing January 1, 2019, IFRS 16 establishes the principles for recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of lease liabilities. It demands lessees to account for all lease liabilities according to a single model in the consolidated statement of financial position. IFRS 16 includes some practical guidelines on:

(i)

Leases for which the underlying asset is “low value;”

(ii)

Short-term leases (or in other words, leases with a terms of 12months or less).

During the commencement of a lease agreement, the lessee must recognize a lease liability, measured at the present value of the contractual payments due to the lessor over the lease term and an asset that represents the right of using the underlying asset during the lease term and is required to separately recognize the expense of interest paid on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset.

Lessees must also revalue the lease liability after certain events (for example, a change in the lease term, an adjustment in future lease payments as a result of a change in an index or rate used to determine those payments).

When the Company revises its estimate of the term of any lease (because, for example, a reassessment of the probability of a lessee extension or termination option being exercised), it should adjust the carrying amount of the lease liability to reflect the payments to make over the revised term, which are discounted using a revised discount rate. The carrying value of lease liabilities is similarly revised when the variable element of future lease payments dependent on a rate or index is revised, except the discount rate remains unchanged. In both cases, an equivalent adjustment is made to the carrying value of the right-of-use asset, with the revised carrying amount being amortized over the remaining (revised) lease term. If the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is adjusted to zero, any further reduction is recognized in profit or loss.

IFRS 16 also requires lessees and lessors to make more comprehensive disclosures than the ones established in IAS 17.

Lease payments were discounted at an incremental borrowing rate as at January 1, 2019. The weighted average rate applied for discount purpose was 11.08% per year.

Right-of-use assets

At the commencement of a lease agreement (or in other words, when the underlying asset is available for use), a lessee must recognize a right-of-use asset, which is initially measured at the amount of the lease liability, reduced for any lease incentives received, and increased for:

•

lease payments made at or before commencement of the lease agreement;

•

initial direct costs incurred; and

•

the amount of any provision recognized where the group is contractually required to dismantle, remove or restore the leased asset.

The recognized right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis along the shorter period between its estimated useful life and the lease term.

Impairment

The Company is required to test, on an annual basis, whether goodwill has suffered any impairment. The recoverable amount is determined based on value in use calculations. The use of this method requires the estimation of future cash flows and the determination of a discount rate in order to calculate the present value of the cash flows. The Company’s goodwill balance related to the Smarkio acquisition which closed on November 30, 2020. Given recently completed acquisition management concluded that there is no impairment of goodwill from November 30 to December 31, 2020.

Financial risk management

The Company has a financial management area in charge of risk management, which reports directly to the Board of Directors. It is responsible for the definition of policies for management of risks and financial instruments through control systems, which establish limits of exposure to exchange and interest rate variation and definition of investment of funds with financial institutions. Such area monthly evaluates the positions of all financial instruments, as well as the results obtained in comparison to objectives and submits the numbers to the Company’s Board of Directors.

21.3.

Credit risk

Is associated with difficulty in collecting the amounts corresponding to services rendered to customers.

The Company and its subsidiary are also subject to credit risk associated with their interest-bearing bank accounts.

The risk related to the rendering of services is minimized by strict control of customers and active management of contract default through clear policies for the provision of services. There is no concentration of transactions with customers and previous default level is very low.

As for the risk of default on the part of financial institutions, dividing the investment of funds into different financial institutions mitigates the exposure.

Interest rate and inflation risks: The interest rate risk arises from the portion of debt and interest-bearing bank deposits pegged to the CDI (Interbank Deposit Certificate rate) that can adversely affect revenue or financial expenses in the event there is an unfavorable change in interest rates or inflation.

21.5.

Operations with derivatives

No derivatives are used at the Company with speculative purposes.

21.6.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk refers to the possibility of the Company not having enough funds to settle its financial liabilities.

The treasury area of the Company daily monitors cash flows and liquidity in order to assure that the generation of cash and previous funds raised, when necessary, are enough to maintain the schedule of payments, not generating liquidity risk for the Company or its subsidiaries.

Sensitivity analysis

The main risks associated with the Company’s operations are linked to the variation of the Interbank Deposit Certificate rate (CDI) used for short-term financial investment. Loans have been contracted at fixed rates. There are also costs and expenses incurred in dollar, however not recorded in assets or liabilities, seeing there are no long-term contracts with future commitment pegged to the dollar exchange rate.

The Company’s financial instruments are measured at fair value and are classified as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and loans and financing. The fair value of loans approximated to its carrying value.

At reporting dates, the profile of the interest-bearing instruments at the Company was as follows:

Assets with variable rates			2020						2019
Financial assets					22,094						3,777

21.8.

Sensitivity analysis of instruments with variable rates

Investment that yields earnings based on the CDI rate are measured at market value, according to the prices provided by the respective financial institutions. Others refer substantially to bank deposit certificates. Therefore, the amount recorded of those instruments does not differ from market values.

The table below presents three scenarios of risk of reduction in the CDI rate. The base scenario was the rate of December 31, 2020 of 2.75% p.a. Scenario II represents a reduction of 25% and scenario III a reduction of 50.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

To the
Board of Directors of

São Paulo — SP

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Smarkio Tecnologia S.A. (“Company”), which comprise the statements of financial position as of 30 November 2020, 31 December 2019 and 1 January 2019, and the related statements of income/(loss) and comprehensive income/(loss), changes in equity, and cash flows for the period of eleven months ended 30 November 2020 and for the year ended 31 December 2019, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board; this includes 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.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements 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 entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Smarkio Tecnologia S.A. as of 30 November 2020, 31 December 2019 and 1 January 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period of eleven months ended 30 November 2020 and for the year ended 31 December 2019 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board.

2.1. Revenue recognition

Revenue is invoiced and recognized as services are provided, or in other words, at the moment the services agreement are delivered to the customer.

IFRS15 — Revenue from agreement with customers establishes a new and comprehensive model in five steps that must be applied to revenue obtained from customers. According to such standard, revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for the transfer of goods or services to a customer. It was published in December 2016, coming into effect starting January 2018. The changes brought by the standard have not significantly impacted the Company’s financial statements, seeing revenue is recognized according to the accrual basis when the control over the service is transferred, creating the consideration that the Company will receive.

Revenue comes mainly from the software development and licensing. It automates services and processes relating the relationship with customers and virtual assistance, including workflows of contact with customers through digital channels and management of the operation and services to customers, as well as by the number of interactions of the Company’s customers with other customers. Revenue also comes from the professional services of implantation and maintenance of software.

2.1.1. Performance obligations and revenue recognition practices

The table below supplies information on the types and moment of fulfillment of performance obligations established in sales agreements with customers, including significant payment terms and related revenue recognition policies. All services provided are considered, for billing purposes, as software development.

F-121

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Type of Service	Moment of the fulfillment of performance obligations, including significant payment terms	Revenue recognition policy
Software use licensing	Such revenue is based mainly on a variable amount charged for the use of the platform (SAAS) according to the sales agreements executed with customers. It is monthly recognized starting the moment the access to the platform is made available until cancellation. There are also additional services, such as triggering of messages, user licenses and third party SAAS services. The use of those services is measured according to the individual volume consumed. Revenue is based on those volumes and on the unit values established in sales agreement, monthly recognized according to the use. The issuance of invoices is made at the beginning of the month following the use. There are some cases where customers validate the amounts before the issuance of invoices. Receivables are collected from 15 to 90 days after billing.	Revenue is recognized when the services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those products or services. Revenue is recognized at gross value, considering the taxation to be paid to governmental authorities. The amounts billed are recorded in accounts receivable or advances from customers depending on certain recognition criteria. The agreements of the Company with customers do not establish the right of items being returned nor grant them ownership rights to the licensed software.
Professional services	Revenue from professional services is based on the provision of information technology related services, focused on the integration and maintenance of the platform (software). The amounts billed are usually based on the hour/labor price established in the sales agreement, multiplied by the number of hours worked. Revenue recognition takes place according to the delivery of the services or adjusted by the percentage of completion. However, the issuance of invoices is previously made at the moment of execution of the contract or sales proposal. Receivables are collected from 15 to 90 days after billing.	Revenue is recognized when the services are transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those services. Revenue is recognized at gross value, considering the taxation to be paid later to governmental authorities. The amounts billed are recorded in accounts receivable or advances from customers, depending on certain recognition criteria.

2.3. Financial instruments

A financial instrument is only recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs directly attributable to their acquisition or issuance, except for financial assets and financial liabilities stated at fair value through profit or loss, where such costs are carried directly into the statement of profit or loss. Subsequent measurements take place at the dates where statements of financial position are prepared, according to rules established for each type of financial asset and liability.

As at November 30, 2020, there were no operations with derivative financial instruments, or hedging operations.

2.3.1. Recognition and initial measurement

2.3.2. Subsequent classification and measurement

During initial recognition, a financial asset is classified at amortized cost or FVTPL.

Financial assets held for trading or managed based on fair value performance are measured at FVTPL.

Financial assets — evaluation of whether contractual cash flows are only payments of principal and interest

	Financial assets measured at FVTPL			After initial measurement, they are carried at fair value. Net revenue, including interest or dividends, is recognized in the statement of income.
	Financial assets recognized at amortized cost			After initial measurement, they are measured at amortized cost according to the effective interest rate method and impairment is deducted from amortized cost. Revenue from interest received, foreign exchange gains and impairment losses is recognized in the statement of income. Any earnings or losses determined in reversals are also carried in the statement of income.

Rights obtained on assets destined for the maintenance of the activities of the Company involving financial lease operations are recorded as if they were finance leases. At the beginning of each operation, a fixed asset and a financing liability are recognized, and, when there is no purchase option, the assets are submitted to depreciation along the term of the contract.

Gains and losses from the disposal of items are determined by comparison of sales values with residual book amounts and they are recognized in the statement of income.

2.6. Intangible assets

Intangible assets result from contractual rights or other legally established rights. That account includes the costs related to the activation of the Company’s trademarks. In other words, the intangible values of trademarks and assets are not measured, but only the amount actually paid for the acquisition of the trademark.

2.10. Other current and noncurrent assets and liabilities

(i) A present obligation (legal or constructive) has arisen as a result of a past event;

(ii) Its settlement is expected to result in an outflow of resources;

(iii) The amount can be estimated reliably.

Assets and liabilities are classified as current when their realization or settlement will probably take place within the following 12 months. Otherwise, they are stated as noncurrent ones.

2.11. Income Taxes

The Company follows guidance in IAS 12 — Income Taxes, with respect to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The Company must determine whether a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not threshold based on the technical merits of the position. Once a position meets the recognition threshold, measurement of the position reported in the financial statements is determined. The Company has determined that no material unrecognized tax benefits or liabilities exist as at November 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

The rates and laws that base the determination of taxes are those enacted or substantially enacted at reporting date. Management periodically evaluates the numbers as for situations where the applicable tax regulations are subject the interpretation and establishes provisions when appropriate.

According to Brazilian regulations, Corporate Income Tax (IRPJ) is based on taxable income. At the Company, such tax is determined based on the deemed income method (“lucro presumido”) at a rate of 15% applied to deemed income, plus surtax of 10% on amounts exceeding R$20 per month.

Social Contribution Tax (CSLL) is also calculated on taxable income according to the deemed income method at a rate of 9% applied on the portion of deemed income.

3. Impacts from the first time adoption of IFRS

International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) were adopted for the first time in the Company’s financial statements as at January 1, 2019. IFRS 1 “First time adoption of IFRS” requires an entity that is adopting IFRS for the first time to prepare a complete set of the financial statements covering its first IFRS reporting period. IFRS 1 also demands the entity to use the same accounting practices to the preceding year and throughout all periods presented in its first IFRS in the financial statements (that is, January 1, 2019).

3.1.

IFRS 16 — Lease liabilities

In effect commencing January 1, 2019, IFRS 16 establishes the principles for recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of lease liabilities. It demands lessees to account for all lease liabilities according to a single model in the statement of financial position. IFRS 16 includes some practical guidelines on:

F-127

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(a) Leases for which the underlying asset is “low value;”

(b) Short-term leases (or in other words, leases with a terms of 12 months or less).

IFRS 16 also requires lessees and lessors to make more comprehensive disclosures than the ones established in IAS 17.

Lease payments were discounted at an incremental borrowing rate as at January 1, 2019. The weighted average rate applied for discount purpose was 15.39% per year.

Right-of-use assets

•

lease payments made at or before commencement of the lease agreement;

•

initial direct costs incurred; and

•

the amount of any provision recognized where the group is contractually required to dismantle, remove or restore the leased asset.

The recognized right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis along the shorter period between its estimated useful life and the lease term.

3.2. New standards not yet in effect:

Amendment to IFRS 16 — Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions: Clarifies aspects as for the practical treatment and disclosure of concessions in lease agreements as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Such amendment is effect for years commencing on/after June 1, 2020 and may be applied in advance. Therefore, the standard has already been adopted by the Company and no significant effects have arisen from its adoption.

New IFRS and interpretations of the IFRIC (IFRS Interpretations Committee of IASB) — The amendments of IFRS made by IASB effective for the year 2020 did not have impact to the Company’s financial statements. IASB reviewed some IFRS, which will be effective beginning 2021 and the Company’s Management is in the process of evaluating its effects to the Company’s financial statements.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

21.3.1. Exposure to credit risk

The book value of financial assets represents the Company’s maximum credit risk exposure. At reporting date, such exposure was the following:

	November 30, 2020		December 31, 2019		January 1, 2019
Cash and cash equivalents		1		—		1
Cash at banks and short-term financial investment		1,957		2,828		1,496
Accounts receivable		9,992		2,903		1,134
Short-term financial investment		11,950		5,731		2,631

Of total net accounts receivables, Porto Seguro Companhia de Seguros Gerais account for 41.2% as at November 30, 2020 and 52.9% as at December 31, 2019 and account for 31.1% and 22.5% of net revenues, respectively.

The determination of the provision for expected losses to be incurred with receivables is based on the following criteria:

•

Expected losses are estimated by means of a loss rate calculated on actual past losses incurred with sales;

Besides, it is considered whether accounts receivable presented a significant increase in credit risk and encompasses:

•

All receivables overdue for more than 6 months;

21.4. Market risk

Interest rate and inflation risks: Arises from the portion of debt and interest-bearing bank deposits pegged to the CDI (Interbank Deposit Certificate rate) that can adversely affect revenue or financial expenses in the event there is an unfavorable change in interest rates or inflation. No derivatives are used at the Company to mitigate such risk.

21.5. Operations with derivatives

No derivatives are used at the Company with speculative purposes.

21.6. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk refers to the possibility of the Company not having enough funds to settle its financial liabilities.

The treasury area of the Company daily monitors cash flows and liquidity in order to assure that the generation of cash and previous funds borrowed, when necessary, are enough to maintain the schedule of payments, not generating liquidity risk for the Company or its subsidiaries.

The table below presents the due dates established in contracts for financial liabilities, including payment of interest.

Non-derivative financial liabilities	Book value		Contract value		Up to 12 months		1-2 years		2-3 years
Trade accounts payable and other payables		908		908		908		—
Lease liabilities		271		325		141		100		83

21.7. Foreign currency exchange risk

Refers to the impact that foreign currency exchange rate variation may have on the financial statements.

The Company is exposed to exchange rate risk, seeing that part of its costs is denominated in dollar. The group is studying the acquisition of derivatives to compensate for exchange rate variations.

The fluctuation in exchange is carried in financial gains and losses on a monthly basis.

21.8. Sensitivity analysis

The Company’s financial instruments are measured at fair value and are classified as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and loans and financing. They are measured at amortized cost, plus interest incurred. At reporting dates, the profile of the interest-bearing instruments at the Company was as follows:

Assets with variable rates			2020						2019
Financial assets					97						2,429

21.9. Sensitivity analysis of instruments with variable rates

The table below presents three scenarios of risk of reduction in the CDI rate. The base scenario was the rate of November 30, 2020 of 2.75% p.a. Scenario II represents a reduction of 25% and scenario III a reduction of 50%.

Operation	Balance as at Nov. 30, 2020		Risk	Scenario I (probable)		Scenario II		Scenario III

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent that it may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as providing indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime.

The registrant’s Articles of Association provide that each director or officer of the registrant shall be indemnified out of the assets of the registrant against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages, or liabilities, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and amounts paid in settlement and costs of investigation (collectively “Losses”) incurred or sustained by such directors or officers, other than by reason of such person’s dishonesty, willful default or fraud, in or about the conduct of our business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of such person’s duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any Losses incurred by such director or officer in defending or investigating (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil, criminal, investigative and administrative proceedings concerning or in any way related to us or our affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.

Also, the registrant expects to maintain director’s and officer’s liability insurance covering its directors and officers with respect to general civil liability, including liabilities under the Securities Act, which he or she may incur in his or her capacity as such.

The form of underwriting agreement to be filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this registration statement will also provide for indemnification by the underwriters of the registrant and its directors and officers for certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act, but only to the extent that these liabilities are caused by information relating to the underwriters that was furnished to us by the underwriters in writing expressly for use in this registration statement and certain other disclosure documents.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 7. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

During the past three years, we have not issued any securities exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

Item 8. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.

(a)

Exhibits: See Exhibit Index beginning on page II-5 of this Registration Statement.

The agreements included as exhibits to this registration statement contain representations and warranties by each of the parties to the applicable agreement. These representations and warranties were made for the benefit of the other parties to the applicable agreement and (1) were not intended to be treated as categorical statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate; (2) may have been qualified in such agreement by disclosures that were made to the other party in connection with the negotiation of the applicable agreement; (3) may apply contract standards of “materiality” that are different from “materiality” under the applicable securities laws; and (4) were made only as of the date of the applicable agreement or such other date or dates as may be specified in the agreement. We acknowledge that, notwithstanding the inclusion of the foregoing cautionary statements, we are responsible for considering whether additional specific disclosures of material information regarding material contractual provisions are required to make the statements in this registration statement not misleading.

(b)

Financial Statement Schedules: All schedules have been omitted because they are not required, are not applicable or the required information is otherwise set forth in the consolidated financial statements or related notes thereto.

Item 9. Undertakings.

(a)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

(b)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(c)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1)

For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective; and

(2)

For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
