This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) filed by Itaúsa S.A., a holding company organized under the laws of Brazil (“Itaúsa”), and IUPAR – Itaú Unibanco Participações S.A., a holding company organized under the laws of Brazil (“IUPAR”) (each a “Reporting Person” and collectively, the “Reporting Persons”), on October 13, 2021, relating to the beneficial ownership of shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Shares”), of XP Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated with limited liability on August 29, 2019 (the “Issuer”).

This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

Item 2.Identity and Background.

Item 2 is hereby amended to add the following:

Effective with the filing of this Amendment No. 1, IUPAR shall cease reporting with respect to ownership of the Shares.

Item 4.Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

On December 8, 2021, as a result of a partial spin-off of IUPAR, IUPAR transferred 39,386,461 Class A common shares of the Issuer’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, to its shareholder Itaúsa; and transferred 19,812,724 Class A common shares of the Issuer’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, to its shareholder Companhia E. Johnston de Participações (“E. Johnston”) (the “First Transfer”). As a consequence, IUPAR ceased to be a beneficial owner of any Class A common shares of the Issuer’s common stock, Itaúsa became the beneficial owner of 84,270,985 Class A common shares representing 19.9% of the outstanding Class A common shares of the Issuer’s capital stock and E. Johnston became the beneficial owner of 19,812,724 Class A common shares representing 4.7% of the outstanding Class A common shares of the Issuer’s capital stock.

Following the First Transfer, E. Johnston intends to transfer 19,812,724 Class A common shares of the Issuer’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, representing 4.7% of the outstanding Class A common shares of the Issuer’s capital stock, to its affiliate, 4MS Participações S.A. (“4MS”), a holding company organized under the laws of Brazil, as a result of a partial spin-off of E. Johnston (the “Second Transfer”). Consequently, E. Johnston will cease to be a beneficial owner of any Class A common shares of the Issuer’s common stock.

Following the Second Transfer, 4MS intends to wind up its activities and transfer (i) 9,906,362 Class A common shares of the Issuer’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, representing 2.34% of the outstanding Class A common shares of the Issuer’s capital stock, to João Moreira Salles; and (ii) 9,906,362 Class A common shares of the Issuer’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, representing 2.34% of the outstanding Class A common shares of the Issuer’s capital stock, to Walther Moreira Salles Júnior (such recipients of Class A common shares constituting certain individual owners of E. Johnston and collectively referred to herein as the “Moreira Salles family”), and 4MS will subsequently liquidate. Consequently, 4MS will cease to be a beneficial owner of any Class A common shares of the Issuer’s common stock, and the Moreira Salles family will become the beneficial owner of 19,812,724 Class A common shares representing 4.7% of the outstanding Class A common shares of the Issuer’s capital stock.

Pursuant to XP’s Shareholders’ Agreement, following the First Transfer, Itaúsa will have the right to, individually, appoint two members to the Issuer’s board of directors, and one of them will serve as member of the Issuer’s auditing committee, as long as the combined interest of Itaúsa and the Moreira Salles family represents at least 5% of the Issuer’s total share capital.

E. Johnston and Itaúsa have entered into a certain ancillary shareholders’ agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, E. Johnston (as well as any of its successors) has agreed to follow Itaúsa’s vote on all matters relating to the Issuer (“Voting Agreement”). The terms of the Voting Agreement are incorporated herein by reference.

XP INC. SHAREHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT BETWEEN ITAÚSA S.A. AND COMPANHIA E. JOHNSTON DE PARTICIPAÇÕES

By this private instrument, the Parties,

(1)       COMPANHIA E. JOHNSTON DE PARTICIPAÇÕES, a corporation headquartered in the City of Matão, State of São Paulo, at Rodovia Washington Luiz (SP 310), Km 307, s/n, enrolled with the CNPJ/ME (National Corporate Taxpayers Register) under No. 04.679.283/0001-09, represented herein in accordance with its bylaws (“E. Johnston”); and

(2)       ITAÚSA S.A., a corporation headquartered in the City of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, at Avenida Paulista, 1.938, 5º andar, enrolled with the CNPJ under No. 61.532.644/0001-15, represented herein in accordance with its bylaws (“Itaúsa”) (E. Johnston and Itaúsa hereinafter jointly referred to as “Parties” and, individually and indistinctively, as “Party”);

WHEREAS the Parties wish to enter into this Agreement to govern the relationship between Itaúsa and E. Johnston (and their successors that may hold Shares, including E. Johnston’s shareholders or companies wholly owned by E. Johnston’s shareholders, individually or collectively, directly or indirectly, that may hold Shares) in relation to XP Inc. (“XP Inc.”), as non-controlling shareholders of XP Inc. and members of the Iupar Block (as defined in the Main Shareholders’ Agreement), without any changes to their relationship with respect to IUPAR — Itaú Unibanco Participações S.A. (“IUPAR”), Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. (“Itaú Unibanco”), and their subsidiaries;

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties have decided to enter into this XP Inc. Shareholders’ Agreement between Itaúsa and E. Johnston (“Agreement”), which will be governed by the following terms and conditions:

1.       BOUND SHARES

1.1.       On the date hereof, the shares issued by XP Inc. held by Itaúsa and E. Johnston (“Shares”), fully subscribed and paid in, are distributed as follows: (a) Itaúsa holds 84,270,985 Class A shares, representing 15.07% of the total capital and 4.74% of the voting capital of XP Inc.; and (b) E. Johnston holds 19,812,724 Class A shares, representing 3.54% of the total capital and 1.11% of the voting capital of XP Inc. Changes to the provisions of this clause in accordance with this Agreement shall not require the amendment hereof.

1.2.       This Agreement binds all Shares issued by XP Inc. directly or indirectly held by Itaúsa and E. Johnston (and their successors that may hold Shares) on the date hereof or in the future that are bound by the Main Shareholders’ Agreement (as defined below), or by third parties that received them under the provisions of this Agreement - subject to the rules on the transfer of shares set out in the “Acordo de Acionistas da XP Inc.” (XP Inc. Shareholders’ Agreement) entered into among IUPAR, Itaúsa, Itaú Unibanco, the controlling shareholders of XP Inc., and others, as amended and which E. Johnston signed as intervening consenting party (“Main Shareholders’ Agreement”), and in the “Registration Rights Agreement” entered into among those same parties and XP Inc., as amended (“Registration Rights Agreement”), as well as the provisions of Clause 3.1.1 below - in any way, including, without limitation, the purchase, donation, subscription, split, or distribution of bonuses, as well as any other type of acquisition or equity interest.

1.2.1.       For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Shares” also encompasses any bonds or securities that ensure the right to purchase or subscribe to shares or that are convertible into such shares or that are guaranteed by shares, such as debentures, purchase options, subscription warrants, depositary certificates or receipts, among others, as well as preemptive rights for the acquisition of or subscription to shares or notes or securities that ensure the right to purchase or subscribe to shares.

1.3.       The provisions of this Agreement do not change any provisions of the Shareholders Agreement of IUPAR - Itaú Unibanco Participações S.A. and Itaú Unibanco Banco Múltiplo S.A. (“Acordo de Acionistas da IUPAR - Itaú Unibanco Participações S.A. e do Itaú Unibanco Banco Múltiplo S.A”), as amended, which was executed in order to govern the relationship of the signatories as joint controlling shareholders of IUPAR and, indirectly, of Itaú Unibanco.

1.4.       Likewise, the provisions of this Agreement do not change any provisions of the Main Shareholders’ Agreement.

2.       EXERCISE OF VOTING RIGHTS AT THE SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETINGS OF XP INC.; APPOINTMENT OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND AUDIT COMMITTEE OF XP INC.

2.1.       E. Johnston and its successors that may hold Shares will vote (or cause their representatives to vote) at the Shareholders’ Meetings of XP Inc. (a) in order to elect the number of members of the Board of Directors and Audit Committee of XP Inc. as established in the Main Shareholders’ Agreement; (b) in the persons indicated by Itaúsa for the positions of member of the Board of Directors and of the Audit Committee of XP Inc., pursuant to Clause 7.4 of the Main Shareholders’ Agreement; (c) subject to the provisions of Clause 2.1.1, in order to dismiss the persons appointed by Itaúsa to the positions of member of the Board of Directors and Audit Committee of XP Inc., pursuant to Clause 7.5 of the Main Shareholders’ Agreement; and (d) following the vote issued by Itaúsa for the other matters submitted to the Shareholders’ Meetings of XP Inc., in order to maintain the uniformity of the Iupar Block (as defined in the Main Shareholders’ Agreement), under the terms of Clause 3.2.3 of the Main Shareholders’ Agreement.

2.1.1.       The dismissal of members of the Board of Directors and Audit Committee of XP Inc. appointed by Itaúsa will depend on the prior and express approval by Itaúsa.

3.       TRANSFER OF XP INC. SHARES

3.1.       As long as the terms and conditions established in this Agreement, the Main Shareholders’ Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement are complied with, the Shares may be freely sold, assigned, or transferred, directly or indirectly, free of charge or for consideration, contributed to the capital of another company, given under usufruct or trust, or in any other way disposed of or promised for disposal (all operations referred to above will hereinafter be referred to as “disposal”) by Itaúsa, E. Johnston, or any of its successors who may hold Shares.

3.1.1.       In the event Shares are disposed of to third parties, (a) if such third party is bound by the Main Shareholders’ Agreement and/or the Registration Rights Agreement, the acquirer will automatically join as a party to this Agreement, so that the rights and obligations of the transferor under this Agreement will be applicable to the acquirer. Nevertheless, the validity and effectiveness of the disposal will be conditional on the acquirer adhering to this Agreement in advance; or (b) if such third party is not bound by the Main Shareholders’ Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, the acquirer will not join as a party to this Agreement, so that no rights or obligations under this Agreement will be applicable to the acquirer.

3.1.2.       If any shareholder of E. Johnston (or companies wholly owned by E. Johnston’s shareholder, individually or collectively, directly or indirectly) acquires from E. Johnston (or from successors thereof) shares issued by XP Inc., such shareholder will be considered, for the purposes of this Agreement, along with E. Johnston (or a successor thereof), as a single Party, and all rights and obligations attributed hereunder to E. Johnston will also be attributed to such person.

3.2.       Rights under the Reg. Rights. Per the terms of the Main Shareholders’ Agreement, E. Johnston (or any successor of E. Johnston that may hold Shares) will endeavor all reasonable efforts to, if market conditions and applicable law so permit, dispose of Shares only by means of transactions that do not imply the exercise of the rights to request the registration of an offering (including block trades) or to take part in a registered offering (primary or secondary) provided for in the Registration Rights Agreement, in order to grant to Itaúsa, as far as possible under these market conditions and applicable legal requirements, a priority position in the exercise of rights under the Registration Rights Agreement.

3.2.1.       Except if there is consensus in a different sense and subject to the provisions of Clause 3.2, the number of Shares in a disposal under the Registration Rights Agreement (including for the purposes of Clause 3(e)(i)(B) of the Registration Rights Agreement) to be allocated between, on the one side, E. Johnston (or its successors that may hold Shares) and, on the other side, Itaúsa, will be proportional to the number of Shares held by each block.

3.3.       Subscription Preemptive Right and Tag-Along Right under the Main Shareholders’ Agreement. The exercise of the Subscription Preemptive Right or the Tag-Along Right (as defined in the Main Shareholders’ Agreement) (a) by E. Johnston (or its successors that may hold Shares) will not depend on the approval by Itaúsa, without prejudice to the exercise by Itaúsa of its Tag-Along Right set forth in the Main Shareholders’ Agreement; and (b) by Itaúsa will not depend on the approval by E. Johnston (or its successors that may hold Shares), without prejudice to the exercise by E. Johnston (or such successors) of its Tag-Along Right set forth in the Main Shareholders’ Agreement.

4.       TERM

4.1.       Per the terms of Clause 4.2., this Agreement is effective as of the date hereof and will remain effective regarding the Shares that remain bound by the Main Shareholders’ Agreement, (a) as long as E. Johnston or any of its successors is a party to the Main Shareholders’ Agreement, or (b) for the original (or renewed) term of the Main Shareholders’ Agreement, whichever occurs first between (a) and (b), and neither Party may terminate it or fail to comply with it unilaterally.

4.2.       Notwithstanding the provisions of Clauses 1.2 and 4.1, the provisions of Clauses 3.2 and 3.2.1 will remain in force with respect to the Shares that remain bound by the Registration Rights Agreement for as long as E. Johnston or any of its successors is a party to the Registration Rights Agreement, even if such Shares are no longer bound by the Main Shareholders’ Agreement.

6.       DISPUTE RESOLUTION

6.1.       The Parties undertake to resolve in a harmonious manner, by amicable negotiation, any controversy, dispute, divergence, litigation, or claim (“Dispute”) that may arise between them directly or indirectly related to this Agreement, as well as the principles of mutual cooperation, loyalty, good faith, and fidelity that must govern the relationship between the Parties.

6.4.       After one hundred and twenty (120) days as of the start of the Mediation Procedure, the external advisors must propose to the parties a solution to the Dispute, by means of a notification sent in accordance with Clause 5.9. Then, the parties will have fifteen (15) days to resolve the Dispute.

6.4.1.       The one hundred and twenty (120) days period set out in Clause 6.4 may be extended for another sixty (60) days, by mutual decision of the external advisors appointed by the parties, if they believe that during the course of this extension period the parties may reach a consensual solution for the Dispute, and the decision must be communicated to the parties in accordance with Clause 5.9 above.

6.5.       Once the term set out in Clause 6.4 or 6.4.1 above expires, as the case may be, without reaching a consensual solution, the dispute must be definitively resolved by means of arbitration (“Arbitration”), as provided for under Law No. 9307/1996, and any of the signatories may request the filing of the arbitral procedure.

The claimants, jointly, must choose a permanent arbitrator and the respective alternate, and the respondents, jointly, must choose a permanent arbitrator and the respective alternate, in accordance with the time limits set out in the Chamber’s rules. The arbitrators appointed by the claimants and respondents must, within thirty (30) days as of the appointment of the second arbitrator, choose the third arbitrator jointly, who will be the chairperson of the Arbitral Tribunal. If either party fails to appoint an arbitrator and/or alternate, the Chairperson of the Chamber will be responsible for making such an appointment. Similarly, if the appointed arbitrators fail to reach a consensus regarding the appointment of the third arbitrator, it will be up to the Chairperson of the Chamber to do so.

6.7.1.       The costs and expenses arising from the holding of the Arbitration will be divided equally between the parties, and each party must bear the fees of their respective lawyers.
