ZENVIA announces a review of its corporate structure
On November 10, 2022, Zenvia’s management approved a review of its corporate structure aimed at reducing the Company’s current workforce by 118 employees, representing approximately 9% of Zenvia’s total workforce in Latin America. This reduction is in line with the current global economic scenario, the acceleration of the integration of acquisitions and is being combined with several other cost-cutting actions as the Company focuses on cash preservation and EBITDA generation.
On the same day, the Company began notifying affected team members and communicated the changes to the entire company with a letter from Cassio Bobsin, the Company’s Founder and Chief Executive Officer, which is available below, attached to this Current Report on Form 6-K as Exhibit 99.1.
Zenvia will disclose more detail on the financial impacts of such review in the upcoming Third Quarter 2022 Earnings Release, to be held after the market close on Wednesday, November 16, 2022, with a live webcast with management on Thursday, November 17, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. ET. The live webcast will be available at investors.zenvia.com, and a replay will be available at investors.zenvia.com/financial-information/financial-results/ following the event.

Exhibit 99.1
Humanz,
Today is a difficult day.
We have faced many obstacles throughout this year that, mainly due to the global economic scenario, have intensified in the last few months.
We have taken several actions in order to avoid the changes that are happening today in our workforce.
However, after much analysis and discussion, we concluded that downsizing a portion of our dedicated Humanz would be necessary for the company’s financial sustainability.
Unfortunately, we have to say goodbye to teammates whom we have grown close with and greatly value.
To take care of those who are leaving, we set up a package to support this transition period. This includes:
| - | Extension of the health care plan for three months |
| - | Counseling for the career transition process and professional outplacement |
| - | Referral to companies that have open opportunities |
This was a very difficult decision and a painful step to help us find the necessary financial balance to move forward, keep growing and fulfilling our purpose.
To those of you who are leaving, thank you very much for having been a part of Zenvia. I am sorry that we have come to this point. I wish that each one of you find a new space to contribute your many talents that leads to paths of fulfillment and success.
To those who remain with us, I thank you for trusting in our Journey. May we be inspired by the future we all want to build.
Cassio Bobsin
CEO
