(a) Acquisitions in 2023

(i) Banco Modal S.A.

On January 6, 2022, XP Inc entered into a binding agreement to acquire up to 100% of Banco Modal's total shares, in a non-cash equity exchange transaction.

The transaction was approved by Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) in July 2022 and by Brazilian Central Bank (BACEN) in June 2023. The closing occurred on July 1, 2023, the date on which the Group obtained control of 704,200,000 issued shares of Banco Modal S.A. Under the terms of this transaction, on the closing date, Banco Modal's former shareholders received 18,717,771 of newly issued XP Inc's BDRs at the price of R$ 112.05 per unit of BDRs, paid in consideration for the acquisition of 100% of Banco Modal's shares. This quantity of BDRs reflects the initial consideration of 19.5 million BDRs adjusted for the interest on equity amount of R$82,052, distributed by Banco Modal between the signing date of the binding agreement and the closing date of the transaction.

On the settlement date with Banco Modal's former shareholders, the transaction was recorded in accordance with Banco Modal's net assets fair value as of July 1, 2023, with an allocation of the purchase price between (i) the amount of fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed and (ii) the goodwill arising at this date, corresponding to the difference between the total consideration transferred and the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The total consideration transferred corresponds to the fair value of the 18,717,771 XP Inc BDR's at the closing date for an amount of R$ 2,097,326. The goodwill is R$ 1,336,092 and is attributable to the workforce and the high profitability of the acquired business.

The table below shows, on the closing date of the transaction, the fair value attributed to each of the identified intangible assets not recorded in the acquiree's balance sheet, as well as the fair value measurement method and their useful lives:

For the period from July 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023, Banco Modal contributed R$ 93,611 to XP Inc's net income and R$ 343,258 to XP Inc's net revenues. If the acquisition date was on the beginning of the reporting period, XP Inc's combined unaudited net income and revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023, would be R$ 3,595,461 and R$ 14,896,966, respectively.

(b) Other developments

(i) SPAC Transactions

On April 25, 2022, XPAC Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company sponsored by the Group (“XPAC”), entered into a business combination agreement with SuperBac, a Brazilian biotechnology company.

On May 2, 2023, SuperBac informed XPAC that it had decided to terminate the Business Combination Agreement, due to adverse market conditions, among other factors. Following the termination of the proposed business combination with SuperBac, the board of directors of XPAC determined that it is in the best interests of XPAC and its shareholders to accelerate the liquidation date of XPAC.

Following the announcement about the termination of the Business Combination Agreement and the intention of early liquidation, XPAC’s management was approached by professional investors interested in acquiring and taking control of XPAC. On July 10, 2023, XPAC Acquisition Corp. entered into a Purchase and Sponsor Handover Agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, XPAC Sponsor LLC transferred control of XPAC Acquisition Corp., by selling 4,400,283 Class B ordinary shares and 4,261,485 private placement warrants to acquire 4,261,485 Class A ordinary shares of XPAC held by the Sponsor, for a total purchase price of $250. As a condition to the consummation of the Sponsor Handover, new members of XPAC’s board of directors and a new management team for XPAC were appointed by the existing Board, and the existing Board members and the existing management team have resigned. Furthermore, the name of XPAC Acquisition Corp. was changed to Zalatoris II Acquisition Corp.

The Purchase and Sponsor Handover Agreement was approved by the XPAC’s shareholders at an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on July 27, 2023, the date on which the Group ceases to control XPAC.

(“Monte Bravo”), Blue3 S.A. (“Blue3”) and Ável Participações Ltda. (“Ável”). These companies were part of XP Inc’s IFAs network. The total fair value consideration recorded for those acquisitions is R$784,743, including the goodwill in a total amount of R$487,671 (Note 15). The goodwill recognized is mainly attributable to expected synergies arising from the investments. As of December 31, 2024, from the total fair value consideration: (i) R$45,000 was paid during 2023, (ii) R$669,521 was paid during 2024 (including monetary correction on this amount) and (iii) there is a remaining amount of R$74,066 recorded through accounts payable (including monetary correction on this amount), of which R$37,033 was paid in January 2025 and R$37,033 in January 2026. See note 38(ii)(iii).

During the year ended December 31, 2024, XP Inc. entered in agreements through its subsidiary XP Controle 5 Participações Ltda. to acquire minority stakes in other three IFAs. The total fair value consideration recorded for those acquisitions is R$414,503, including the preliminary goodwill in a total amount of R$326,735 (Note 15). The preliminary goodwill recognized is mainly attributable to expected synergies arising from the investments.
