(i)XP Controle may, freely and without any restriction, Transfer up to one hundred percent (100%) of the Free XPC Shares to one or more Authorized Investors, provided that, if such Free XPC Shares are composed of Class B Shares, XP Controle shall take all measures necessary to convert them into Class A Shares prior to the Transfer, so that 100% of the Free XPC Shares to be Transferred are exclusively represented by Class A Shares. Authorized Investors who acquire (a) less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Free XPC Shares shall not be party to this Agreement (and the Shares then acquired shall not be covered by the rules hereunder), and (b) one hundred percent (100%) of the Free XPC Shares may adhere to this Agreement (and, in the event of adhesion, the Shares then acquired shall be covered by the rules provided for herein), it being certain that the mere acquisition of Free XPC Shares shall not grant the Authorized Investors any right to veto or to elect any member of the Company’s Board of Directors. In case of block transfer of one hundred percent (100%) of the Free XPC Shares to more than one Authorized Investor and adhesion to this Agreement by all of them, such Authorized Investors shall form a single block of shareholders and shall be considered a single party, for purposes of exercise of the voting rights set forth in this Agreement.

 

(ii)Except for the GA Shares of the Second Acquisition, GA may freely and without any restriction Transfer all of its remaining Class A Shares (“Free GA Shares”) to one or more Authorized Investors.

Authorized Investors who acquire (a) less than all of the Free GA Shares shall not be parties to this Agreement (and the Shares then acquired shall not be covered by the rules hereunder), and (b) all and not less than all of the Free GA Shares shall adhere to this Agreement (and the Shares then acquired shall be covered by the rules, rights and obligations of GA hereunder). In the event of a Bulk Transfer of all and not less than all of the Free GA Shares to more than one Authorized Investor, such Authorized Investors shall form a single block of shareholders and shall be deemed to be a single party for purposes of exercising veto rights and the right to elect members of GA’s Board of Directors, as applicable, and as provided in this Agreement.

3.1.5.       Liquidity Alternative. Subject to the following provisions, if any of the Regulatory Approvals required for the consummation of the Second Acquisition are denied or are not obtained within eighteen (18) months from the respective requests for approval, whichever occurs first, both the GA Second Acquisition Lock-Up and the XPC Second Acquisition Lock-Up shall mature early with respect to the respective Parties to this Agreement as of the first Business Day following the denial of the Regulatory Approvals or the expiration of the eighteen (18) month period, as the case may be.

 

3.1.5.1.       In addition, immediately following (i) the denial of any Regulatory Approvals required for consummation of the Second Acquisition; or (ii) the inability to obtain such required Regulatory Approvals within the eighteen (18) month period referred to above, the Shareholders undertake to discuss, in good faith, a liquidity alternative for the remaining Shares held by the Shareholders and, if they reach an agreement, the Shareholders shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement such solution. If no agreement is reached within sixty (60) Calendar Days from the commencement of the aforementioned discussion period, any Shareholder shall have the right, upon written notice to the other Shareholders, with a copy to the Company, to:

 

(i)request a subsequent public offering subject to the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement, in which event the Shareholders and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform and cause to be performed all acts necessary to approve, conduct and, subject to favorable market conditions, register the public offering of Class A Shares, including, to the extent possible, within a reasonable timeframe requested by the relevant Shareholder for the public offering of shares (“Public Offering Right”). In addition to the Public Tender Offer Right, Shareholders shall have the right to sell their Class A Shares on a Stock Exchange, in which case the Preemptive Right and the Joint Selling Right shall not apply; or

 

(ii)initiate a structured private sale process of up to one hundred percent (100%) of its Shares to one or more Certified Purchasers, in which case the Company and the other Shareholders shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the consummation of the sale (“Private Transfer”). For purposes of clarity, the Private Transfer shall be subject to the Preemptive Right (subject to Section 4.1.1) set forth herein. If the implementation of a Private Transfer results in the Transfer of all and not less than all of the Shares held by any Shareholder, the respective Certified Purchaser(s) shall succeed such selling Shareholder in all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and shall replace it as a party to the Agreement for all purposes and effects. The Shareholders acknowledge and agree that such Private Transfer shall only be available for the sale of Class A Shares (other than for the sale of Class B Shares pursuant to Section 3.1.6), which means that if a Shareholder wishes to sell Class B Shares privately, such Shareholder must convert the Class B Shares by reference into Class A Shares prior to consummation of the Private Transfer. In the event of a block sale of 100% of the Shares held by a Shareholder to more than one Certified Purchaser, such Certified Purchasers shall act as a single block of shareholders for purposes of exercising the voting rights provided for in this Agreement. If the Private Transfer comprises less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Shares held by a Disposing Shareholder, the respective Certified Purchasers shall not succeed such Disposing Shareholder in its rights and obligations under this Agreement and shall not become parties to this Agreement.

(iv)with respect to GA, except for GA Shares of the Second Acquisition while the Second Acquisition GA Lock-Up is in effect, if requested by XP Controle, at any time, in the event of any Transfer of Shares by XP Controle that results in an interest by XP Controle of less than fifty percent (50%) plus one share of the voting capital of the Company;

 

(v)if, at any time, the total number of votes of Class B Shares issued by the Company represents less than 10% of the Company’s voting capital, all Class B Shares issued shall be automatically and immediately converted into Class A Shares, and no Class B Shares may be issued by the Company thereafter.

 

3.4.1.       Prior Notice. If a conversion of Class B Shares into Class A Shares by XP Controle may result in the involuntary increase of Itaú’s interest in the voting capital of the Company, XP Controle shall send a written notice to Itaú in order to communicate such event, at least ten (10) Calendar Days in advance to the consummation of any conversion.

3.4.2.       The conversion of Class B Shares into Class A Shares by XP Controle and GA shall only be allowed if the number of Class A Shares and Class B Shares to be acquired by Itaú from each of them in the Second Acquisition is preserved.

 

3.5.       Preemptive Rights in the Subscription. Except for the provisions of Articles 4.6 and 4.7 of the Company’s Bylaws, in the event of a capital increase of the Company, each Shareholder shall have preemptive rights, in any private offering of Shares, as well as in the cases provided for in Article 4.4 of the Company’s Bylaws, to subscribe new shares of the Company, proportionally to the respective interests held in the Company’s total and voting capital stock at the time of the capital increase in question (“Preemptive Rights”).

 

3.5.1.       If the Company wishes to issue Class A Shares to raise funds in the context of a public offering on the Stock Exchange without the corresponding Preemptive Subscription Right, pursuant to Article 4.7 of the Company’s Bylaws (always in compliance with the Registration Rights Agreement), the Company shall send a written notice to each Class B Shareholder, who shall have thirty (30) Calendar Days from receipt thereof to inform the Company whether or not they agree with the issuance in reference without the corresponding Preemptive Subscription Right. In case holders of at least two thirds (2/3) of Class B Shares agree with the issuance of Class A Shares without the corresponding Preemptive Rights (“Waiver of Preemptive Rights”), the Company may make a public offering of Class A Shares on the Stock Exchange excluding the Preemptive Rights. The lack of response from holders of Class B Shares within thirty (30) Calendar Days from receipt of the written notice will be deemed to constitute agreement to the offer on the terms proposed. For purposes of clarity, the agreement of a Shareholder to the offer on the terms proposed shall not be construed as creating a restriction on such Shareholder’s ability to acquire shares in the offer to the extent permitted by law.

 

3.5.2.       Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the context of a public offering of Class A Shares, if a Shareholder decides to subscribe for part of the Class A Shares issued, the other Shareholders shall be entitled to subscribe for at least such amount of Class A Shares as will ensure that their dilution of the Company will not be greater than the dilution of the other Shareholders, taking into account each of their respective shareholdings at the time of the public offering in question.

4.1.1. Itaú and Iupar Block shall not have the Preemptive Right set forth in this CHAPTER IV in relation to any Transfer of Shares.

 

4.1.2. XP Controle and GA will only be entitled to exercise the Right of First Refusal provided for in this CHAPTER IV in relation to the Shares to be Transferred by Itaú and/or Iupar Block in the event of Transfer by Itaú and/or Iupar Block of Shares that represent, jointly or separately, in a single operation or series of operations with a same third party, a percentage equal to or higher than 3% (three percent) of the Company’s total capital stock (provided that, at the time of negotiation, the sum of the series of operations equals or exceeds such percentage).

 

4.2.       Exercise of the Preemptive Right. Subject to the provisions of Sections 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 above, and of CHAPTERS III above and V below, the Offered Shareholders shall be entitled to exercise the preemptive right to acquire all (and not less than all) of the Offered Shares on terms equal to or no less favorable (in relation to the financial terms of the offer) than those described in the Preemptive Notice (“Preemptive Right”). The Preemptive Right may be exercised by the Offeree Shareholders by sending a written notice to the Offering Shareholder, with copy to the other Offeree Shareholders (“Response Notice”), within forty-five (45) Calendar Days from receipt of the Preference Notice (“Deadline for Exercise of the Preference Right”), informing whether they intend to:

 

(i)Acquire all, and not less than all, of the Offered Shares at a price and other conditions equal to or no less favorable (in relation to the financial terms of the offer) than those described by the Offering Shareholder in the Notice of Preference; or

(ii)Waive its Preemptive Right, it being understood that the following will be construed as waiving the Preemptive Right (a) failure to deliver the Response Notice within the Preemptive Right Exercise Deadline, and/or (b) sending a Response Notice that does not include the Offering Shareholder’s irrevocable and irreversible obligation (such obligation may be conditioned only on the need to obtain regulatory approvals including BACEN Approval and CADE Approval, as applicable) to acquire all of the Offered Shares on equal or no less favorable terms, in financial terms, than those specified in the Preference Notice.

 

4.3.       Offers by the Offeree Shareholders. The offer contained in the Response Notice shall be firm, irrevocable and irreversible, and may be conditioned only to the need to obtain regulatory approvals, including BACEN Approval and CADE Approval, as applicable. If more than one Offeree Shareholder exercises its Preemptive Right on time, the Offered Shares shall be sold, free and clear of any liens, to the Offeree Shareholders that exercise the Preemptive Right, proportionally to their respective stakes in the Company’s capital stock, excluding the stakes of the Offering Shareholder and the Offeree Shareholders that do not exercise the Preemptive Right. If the Certified Purchaser is also a Shareholder, the Offered Shares will be Transferred to the Offeree Shareholders that exercise their Preemptive Rights and to the Certified Purchaser in proportion to their respective holdings in the total capital stock of the Company, excluding the holdings of the Offering Shareholder and the other Shareholders.

Within sixty (60) Calendar Days after the end of the Period to Inform the Offered Shareholders, the Offering Shareholder and the Buying Shareholders shall execute an instrument (“Preemptive Sale Agreement”) to formalize the terms and conditions of acquisition of the Offered Shares, which shall be free and clear of any liens (except for the liens expressly authorized in this Agreement) (“Transfer of the Shares of the Preemptive Right”), reflecting the same conditions contained in the Notice of Response. If the consummation of the Transfer of the Preemptive Shares is not subject to regulatory approvals, it shall occur simultaneously with the execution of the Preference Sale Agreement. Otherwise, the Offering Shareholder and the Buying Shareholders shall, within thirty (30) Calendar Days after signing the Preemptive Sale Agreement, arrange for the regulatory requests applicable to the consummation of the Transfer of the Shares of the Preemptive Right and consummate such Transfer within ten (10) Calendar Days after obtaining the applicable approvals (“Closing of the Preemptive Right”), without prejudice to the provisions of Section 4.6.

4.5.       Transfer of the Offered Shares to the Certified Purchaser. In the event of waiver of the Preemptive Right, pursuant to Section 4.2(ii), by the Offeree Shareholders, or in the event that the Closing of the Preemptive Right does not occur pursuant to the terms of Section 4. 4 above (except if due to a breach of obligation by the Offering Shareholder), and, in any case, provided that the eventual exercise of the Right of Joint Sale by the Offering Shareholders, as applicable, is observed, the Offering Shareholder shall be free to Transfer the Offered Shares to the Certified Purchaser, provided that under conditions no less favorable (from a financial perspective) than those specified in the Preference Notice, it being understood that the Offering Shareholder and the Certified Purchaser shall enter into an agreement within forty-five (45) Calendar Days from the waiver of the Preemptive Right or from the failure to close the Preemptive Right, as provided above, an instrument (“Certified Purchaser Purchase Agreement”) to formalize the terms and conditions of the acquisition of the Offered Shares, which shall be free and clear of any liens (except for the liens expressly authorized in this Agreement) (“Transfer of the Shares to the Certified Purchaser”). If the consummation of the Transfer of Shares to the Certified Purchaser is not subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals, it shall occur simultaneously with the execution of the Purchase Agreement with the Certified Purchaser. Otherwise, the Offering Shareholder and the Certified Purchaser shall, within thirty (30) Calendar Days after the execution of the Purchase Agreement with the Certified Purchaser, provide the applicable regulatory filings for the consummation of the Transfer of Shares to the Certified Purchaser and consummate such Transfer within ten (10) Calendar Days after obtaining the applicable approvals (“Closing of the Transfer to the Certified Purchaser”), without prejudice to the provisions of Section 4.7. If the Transfer of Shares to the Certified Purchaser does not occur within the above-mentioned period, the process for exercise of the Right of First Refusal set forth in this Chapter IV shall be reinitiated.

 

4.6.       Closing. Notwithstanding the deadlines set forth in Section 4.4 and in Section 4.5, respectively, for consummation of the Transfer of Shares of the Preemptive Right and for consummation of the Transfer of Shares to the Certified Purchaser, the Parties agree that the consummation of the referred Transfers of Shares shall always occur on the last Business Day of the month.

4.7.       Invalidity of Certified Purchaser Offer. It shall not be valid, effective and shall not bind the Offeree Shareholders or the Company, the stipulation by the Certified Purchaser of a condition in its offer that seeks to create restrictions on the Offeree Shareholders that are not provided for in this Agreement or in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. For purposes of clarity, nothing in this clause shall prevent indemnification obligations (as applicable) contained in the Certified Purchaser’s offer from being valid and allocated pro rata to the Offeree Shareholders.

5.3.       Offered Shares. If a Notice of Joint Sale has been served by one or more Offeree Shareholders pursuant to this Agreement, the Certified Purchaser shall be obligated to acquire, in addition to the Offeree Shares, all of the Shares held by the Offeree Shareholders concerned.

(a)GA shall have the right to appoint (and replace, at any time, at its sole discretion) 1 (one) member and his/her respective alternate. If GA’s shareholding in the Company’s total capital stock is reduced to below 5%, GA shall no longer have the right to appoint any member to the Board of Directors. Additionally, in the occurrence of any event described in Section 8.4.5, and while such event lasts, the right of GA to appoint 1 (one) member to the Company’s Board of Directors shall be suspended and XP Controle shall have the right to appoint 1 (one) additional member.

If the shares are no longer held by Iupar and are held by its members, directly or indirectly, the right of indication shall become the right of Itaúsa (or its successors or assigns, pursuant to this Agreement).
