Méliuz announces an update on its strategic alliance with banco BV
Méliuz S.A. (B3: CASH3), in continuity with the material facts disclosed to the market on March 8, 2023 and December 30, 2022, hereby informs its shareholders and the market in general of the following updates on the strategic alliance involving Banco Votorantim S.A. (” banco BV ”), covering, on the one hand, banco BV’s corporate relationship with the Company and, on the other hand, its commercial relationship provided for in the Commercial Agreement entered into on December 30, 2022:
About the option to purchase Méliuz shares
The Company was notified by banco BV of its irrevocable and irretractable decision not to exercise the call option on the shares issued by Méliuz, granted to banco BV on December 30, 2022, whose final exercise date would be March 31, 2025. Therefore, the call option ceases to be valid and can no longer be exercised by banco BV.
On the same date, the Company and Fundo de Investimento em Participações BV – Multiestratégia Investimento no Exterior (“FIP BV”), an investment vehicle of banco BV, signed the termination of the Voting Agreement entered into on March 8, 2023, with the consequent termination of FIP BV’s rights provided for therein, including the right to appoint a member to Méliuz’s Board of Directors. As a result of the termination of the Voting Agreement, the Company received the respective letter of resignation from Mr. Júlio Cezar Tozzo Mendes Pereira, who until then acted as a director of Méliuz, appointed by FIP BV.
About the commercial agreement to offer financial products and services
In order to provide greater alignment between the parties, the commercial agreement for the offer of financial products and services was subject to adjustments to certain conditions, with Méliuz and banco BV reaffirming their long-term partnership.
As an update, the parties negotiated new guidelines for the year 2025 (from 01/01/2025 to 31/12/2025). As a result of this update, we would like to inform shareholders and the market in general that, hypothetically, if the new adjustment to the commercial agreement had been applied to the last reported result, for the third quarter of 2024, the Company would have had a negative impact of approximately R$ 7 million on its consolidated net revenue.
Méliuz’s Management reaffirms its commitment to minimizing potential impacts, highlighting the growth opportunities that the partnership with banco BV can generate for the Company in the long term.
Méliuz will keep its shareholders and the market informed of any news related to the subject of this material fact.
