XP Inc.
Confidential Submission of the Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1

Submitted September 13, 2019 



 

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

Division of Corporation Finance
100 F Street, N.E.
Washington, D.C. 20549

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

On behalf of our client, XP Inc. (the “Company”), an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, which was incorporated in August 2019, we have confidentially submitted a draft registration statement on Form F-1 (the “Draft Registration Statement”) relating to a proposed initial public offering ( “IPO”) of the Company’s Class A common shares via EDGAR to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) for confidential review pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”).

 

For the staff’s convenience, we have also enclosed three copies of the Draft Registration Statement, as confidentially submitted on EDGAR. The Company confirms that it is an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the JOBS Act and its securities have not been previously sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).

 

Prior to the IPO, the shareholders of XP Investimentos S.A. (“XP Brazil”) will contribute substantially all of the shares of XP Brazil to the Company in exchange for shares in the Company.

 

A formal filing of the Registration Statement will be made at a later date, which in no event will be later than 15 days before the Company commences its road show.
