SUMMARY NOTICE OF PROPOSED SETTLEMENT OF CLASS ACTION

TO:     ALL PERSONS WHO PURCHASED OR OTHERWISE ACQUIRED NETSHOES, INC. ("NETSHOES" OR THE "COMPANY") COMMON STOCK BEFORE MAY 15, 2018.¹

THIS NOTICE WAS AUTHORIZED BY THE COURT.  IT IS NOT A LAWYER SOLICITATION.  PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY.

YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that a hearing will be held on November 23, 2020, at 10:00 a.m., by Skype Business videoconference before the Honorable Andrew Borrok, J.S.C., Supreme Court of New York, County of New York: Commercial Division, 60 Centre Street, New York, NY 10007, to determine whether: (1) the proposed settlement of the above-captioned action (the "Litigation"), as set forth in the Stipulation of Settlement ("Stipulation" or "Settlement"), for $8,000,000 in cash should be approved by the Court as fair, reasonable, and adequate;² (2) the Judgment, as provided under the Stipulation, should be entered; (3) to award Plaintiff's Counsel attorneys' fees and expenses out of the Settlement Fund (as defined in the Notice of Proposed Settlement of Class Action ("Notice"), as discussed below), and, if so, in what amount; (4) to award Lead Plaintiff for representing the Settlement Class out of the Settlement Fund and, if so, in what amount; and (5) the Plan of Allocation should be approved by the Court as fair, reasonable, and adequate.  Details regarding the video conference will be posted closer to the date of the hearing on the website www.NetshoesSecuritiesLitigation.com.  Any changes to the hearing date or time will also be published on that website.

The Litigation is a consolidated securities class action brought on behalf of those Persons who purchased or acquired Netshoes common stock before May 15, 2018, against Netshoes, certain of its officers and directors, and underwriters for the initial public offering ("IPO") (collectively, "Defendants") for, among other things, allegedly misstating and omitting material facts from the Registration Statement and Prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the IPO.  Lead Plaintiff alleges that these purportedly false and misleading statements inflated the price of the Company's stock, resulting in damage to Settlement Class Members when the truth was revealed.  Defendants deny all of Lead Plaintiff's allegations.

IF YOU PURCHASED OR ACQUIRED NETSHOES COMMON STOCK BEFORE MAY 15, 2018, YOUR RIGHTS MAY BE AFFECTED BY THE SETTLEMENT OF THE LITIGATION.
