MATERIAL FACT

 

TOTVS S.A. (B3: TOTS3) (the “Company” or “TOTVS”) informs that in view of the resolutions taken by the shareholders of Linx S.A. at the extraordinary general meeting held on November 17, 2020, the Board of Directors of TOTVS decided to cancel the Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company convened for November 27, 2020 (“EGM”). Therefore, the Call Notice published in the Official Gazette of the State of São Paulo in the editions of 29, 30 and 31 October 2020 (pages 28, 14, and 13) and in the Valor Econômico newspaper in the editions of October 29, 30 and 31, 2020 (pages E4, E3 and E2) hereby becomes ineffective, as well as the distance voting ballots related to such canceled EGM, which will be discarded.

Accordingly, the Company will request (i) the withdrawal of the registration form F-4 that had been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission - SEC and (ii) the filing of such procedure with CADE - the Brazilian Antitrust Agency, for loss of purpose, and the Company will continue to act as a third party interested in the Stone-Linx transaction, considering that such transaction raises competitive concerns.

TOTVS thanks its shareholders for all the support given throughout this process and reiterates that it remains focused on achieving its strategy of building an ecosystem of solutions that encompasses three business dimensions (Management, Techfin and Business Performance), combining organic and inorganic initiatives, and also through partnerships that generate high value for our shareholders, clients, customers and associates.
