Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form F-4
Filed August 11, 2023
File No. 333-272688
Dear Pierre Schurmann:
We have reviewed your amended registration statement and have the following
comments. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with information so we
may better understand your disclosure.
Please respond to this letter by amending your registration statement and providing the
requested information. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and
circumstances or do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in your
response.
After reviewing any amendment to your registration statement and the information you
provide in response to these comments, we may have additional comments. Unless we note
otherwise, our references to prior comments are to comments in our July 25, 2023 letter.
Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form F-4
Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus
New Nuvini Earnout Shares, page 26
1.We note your revised disclosures throughout the filing in response to prior comment 2,
which appear to discuss the August 2, 2023 amendments that deferred certain payment
dates in the respective agreements. However, the chart provided in the response reflects
activity that occurred subsequent to year end. To the extent these transactions are material
to the amounts accrued as of December 31, 2022, please revise to disclose this activity
both in the forepart of the filing and in the subsequent events footnote. In this regard,
footnote (7) of the chart appears to indicate that payment was made in shares for such
amounts after year end. Revise to disclose these subsequent payments and the impact they

have on the scheduled payments currently disclosed for each acquisition. Further,
disclose the impact of the Leadlovers Correction described in footnote (6) and the impact
that has on the amounts owed.
2.With regards to the Leadlovers Correction, footnote (6) in your response indicates that the
earnout calculation should reflect two Leadlovers partners but it was understated by only
reflecting one partner in the calculation. The R$40,627 that you previously disclosed, and
revised in this amendment, appears to represent 50% of the Leadlover current and non-
current deferred consideration at December 31, 2021. Explain further how this change
relates to the fact that the earnout calculation was understated because it did not reflect the
correct number of Leadlover partners. Also, clarify why this did not impact the liability
balance. Further, to the extent the earnout calculation was incorrectly calculated by using
only one and not two partners, tell us why the revised disclosures reflect a reduction to the
amount owed. In addition, the correction in the chart provided in your response totals
approximately R$18 million while the change in the amount disclosed on page F-79
appears to be approximately R$8.5 million. Please explain or revise as necessary.

Ownership of New Nuvini, page 147
3.Please disclose the level of redemptions above which the minimum cash condition would
not be satisfied. Clarify that to in order to proceed with the business combination with
redemptions above that level you would need to waive the minimum cash condition.

4.You state in your response to prior comment 6 that the subscription rights and contingent
consideration are excluded from pro forma EPS calculations as they are anti-dilutive.
Please explain further why such shares are excluded from pro forma basic loss per share.
To the extent the shares are excluded because certain time-based and performance-based
conditions have not been met for the contingent consideration arrangements as your
response seems to indicate, or the shares have certain exercise provisions as your
disclosures on page F-99 appear to indicate, then revise to clarify as such. Further,
adjustment (e) indicates that the contingent consideration will be settled in shares upon
consummation of the Business Consummation, which does not appear to be consistent
with your response. Please revise.

5.Similar to our prior comment 7, please tell us why you do not use the IFRS measure of net
revenue in calculating the recurrence percentage measure and specifically address how

you considered whether “gross revenue” used in such calculation represents a tailored
accounting principle. In your response, clarify whether the recurring revenue amount
used in such calculation is based on gross or net revenue, and revise as necessary. Refer
to Question 100.04 of the non-GAAP C&DIs.
Comparison of Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021
Net operating revenue, page 250
6.We note your revised disclosures in response to prior comment 9. While we acknowledge
that fiscal 2022 includes a full year of revenue compared to a partial year for fiscal 2021
for all of your acquisitions with the exception of Effecti, based on the supplemental
information provide in your response, it appears that certain acquisitions had a more
positive impact on your year-over-year revenue growth while the revenue for other
acquisitions decreased from fiscal 2021 to 2022 despite the fact that fiscal 2022 included a
full year of revenue. Please revise to include a quantified discussion for each of
the acquisitions that contributed positively to your revenue growth along with a discussion
of the offsetting impact from those acquisitions that had negative growth during the
period. Similar revisions should be made to the various expense discussions, where
possible.
General and administrative, page 252
7.Your revised disclosure in response to prior comment 9 indicates that the decrease in
general and administrative expense relates to a full year of expenses in fiscal 2022 from
companies acquired in fiscal 2021. Please further revise to explain why a full year of
activity from these companies would result in less expense compared to a period with less
than a full year of activity or provide additional information that would explain
such decrease.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021
Note 20. Net operating revenue, page F-103
8.We note your response to prior comment 12. Please revise your disclosure to state that the
measure is included to satisfy a Brazilian statutory disclosure requirement to provide a
reconciliation between revenue to taxable gross revenue. Refer to IAS 1, paragraph
112(c).
