EXPLANATORY STATEMENT – DEREGISTRATION OF COMMON SHARES
This post-effective amendment relates to the registration statement (File No. 333-232022) on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by Globant S.A. (the “Registrant”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 7, 2019, registering 2,000,000 common shares, par value $1.20 per share, of the Registrant (“Common Shares”), to be issued under the Globant S.A. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”).
Pursuant to resolutions of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Registrant adopted by unanimous written consent with effect as of May 18, 2021, the Board approved the adoption of Amendment No. 3 to the Plan (“Amendment No. 3”; the Plan, as amended by Amendment No. 3, the “Amended Plan”). Amendment No. 3 provides for a decrease in the number of Common Shares that are authorized and available for issuance pursuant to existing and future awards following the effective date of Amendment No. 3 by a total of 1,600,000 Common Shares (the “Share Decrease”). As a result of the adoption of Amendment No. 3, after giving effect to the Share Decrease, (x) the aggregate number of Common Shares authorized for issuance under the Amended Plan since inception has decreased from 5,666,667 to 4,066,667 and (y) the aggregate number of Common Shares currently available for issuance pursuant to existing or future awards under the Amended Plan has decreased from 3,501,238 to 1,901,238 (subject to adjustment for any forfeitures or cancellations as to shares in respect of awards).
In connection with the Share Decrease, the Registrant hereby deregisters an aggregate of 1,600,000 Common Shares that were originally registered for issuance under the Registration Statement and that remain unissued as of the date hereof.
The Registration Statement is hereby amended to reflect the deregistration of such Common Shares. The Registrant’s registration statements on Form S-8 filed on June 3, 2016 (File No. 333-211835) and on January 20, 2015 (File No. 201602) are unaffected by this post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement.

C. On May 9, 2016 the Board resolved to amend the Plan to increase the total number of common shares, par value $1.20 per share (“Common Shares”), available for grant by an additional amount of 2,000,000 Common Shares, which amendment was duly signed and documented on June 2, 2016.

AMENDMENT
1. | The first paragraph of Section 4 of the Plan is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: |
“Subject to adjustments as provided in Section 7(d) of this Plan, effective as of May 19, 2021, the number of Common Shares that may be issued (x) with respect to Awards granted under the Plan shall not exceed an aggregate of 4,066,667 shares since inception, (y) from and after May 19, 2021 pursuant to existing or future Awards under the Plan shall not exceed an aggregate of 1,901,238 shares, and (y) pursuant to incentive stock options intended to qualify under Code section 422 shall not exceed an aggregate of 150,000 shares since inception.

If any Award, or portion of an Award, under the Plan expires or terminates unexercised, becomes unexercisable, is settled in cash without delivery of Common Shares, or is forfeited or otherwise terminated or canceled as to any shares, the shares subject to such Award shall thereafter be available for further Awards under the Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, shares used to pay the exercise price of an Award or tax obligations shall not be available again for other Awards under the Plan.”
2. | Except as set forth in this Amendment, the Plan shall be unaffected hereby and shall remain in full force and effect. |
