XP Inc. ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE MARKET

SÃO PAULO, June 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- XP Inc. ("XP" or "we") (Nasdaq: XP), a leading, technology-driven platform and a trusted provider of low-fee financial products and services in Brazil, announced today the commencement of an offer to purchase for cash any and all of its outstanding 3.250% Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2026 (the "Notes"), for a purchase price set forth in the table below (the "Tender Offer"). The Tender Offer is being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions (including the Financing Condition (as defined in the Offer to Purchase)) set forth in the offer to purchase dated June 20, 2024 (the "Offer to Purchase") and the related notice of guaranteed delivery (the "Notice of Guaranteed Delivery" and, together with the Offer to Purchase, the "Offer Documents").

The table below summarizes certain information relating to the Tender Offer:

The Tender Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 26, 2024, unless extended or terminated by us in our sole discretion (such date and time, as it may be extended with respect to the Tender Offer, the "Expiration Time"). Holders of Notes must (1) validly tender (and not validly withdraw) their Notes at or prior to the Expiration Time or (2) deliver a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and other required documents pursuant to the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) at or prior to the Expiration Time and validly tender their Notes at or prior to the Guaranteed Delivery Expiration Time (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) in order to be eligible to receive the Purchase Price (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) plus Accrued Interest (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) for such Notes. Tendered Notes may be validly withdrawn at any time at or prior to the Withdrawal Deadline (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) but not thereafter, except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law.  

Additionally, we will pay additional amounts such that the applicable Purchase Price and the applicable Accrued Interest received by Holders after withholding tax, if any, will be equal to the amount that would have been due had there been no withholding tax, subject to the same exceptions as are included in the indenture.

Concurrently with the commencement of the Tender Offer, we are announcing an offering (the "Financing Transaction") of new notes (the "New Notes") to be issued by XP in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 

We expect to use part of the net proceeds from the Financing Transaction to pay the Purchase Price and Accrued Interest on the Notes validly tendered and accepted by us in the Tender Offer. XP's obligation to purchase Notes in the Tender Offer is subject to and conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including the condition that we shall have successfully consummated the Financing Transaction and shall have received net cash proceeds from the Financing Transaction in an amount sufficient (as determined by XP in its sole and absolute discretion) to fund the Purchase Price with respect to the Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Expiration Date, plus Accrued Interest, as well as any related fees and expenses relating to the Tender Offer and the Financing Transaction. No assurance can be given that the Financing Transaction will be completed successfully. This announcement and the information contained in this announcement regarding the New Notes do not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any New Notes.  XP reserves the right, in XP's sole discretion, to amend or terminate the Tender Offer at any time.

Neither the Offer Documents nor any related documents have been filed with, approved or reviewed by any federal or state securities commission or regulatory authority of any country. No authority has passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of the Offer Documents or any related documents, and it is unlawful and may be a criminal offense to make any representation to the contrary.
