VTEX General Communication
VTEX (NYSE: VTEX), the enterprise digital commerce platform for premier brands and retailers, the leader in accelerating the digital commerce transformation in Latin America and now expanding globally, announced a new step towards its efficiency-driven expansion. This step comes with hard decisions that directly impacted 193 professionals.

The decision to reduce its workforce was taken as a strategic judgment around what organizational structure can deliver high-efficiency growth. VTEX continues to expect delivering its growth plans and re-affirms its guidance.

VTEX highly values its exceptional team and deeply appreciate and thank everyone for their commitment and hard work. The desired outcome was and will always be to handle every initiative, including any workforce reduction and restructuring, with transparency, respect, and responsibility.

VTEX is committed to help the impacted employees along the way with resources to support the transition.

Below, as Exhibit 99.1, VTEX attached the letter sent from Geraldo Thomaz Jr. and Mariano Gomide de Faria, founders and co-CEOs, to all employees on May 26, 2022.
