 Bay, Sergio Enrique Fogel Kaplan, Alberto Eduardo Azar, Sebastián Kanovich and Jacobo Singer, acting together, currently have the ability to elect a majority of the directors and to determine the outcome of most matters submitted for a vote of shareholders.

So long as Andres Bzurovski Bay, IZBA SA, Aqua Crystal Investments, Sebastián Kanovich and Jacobo Singer have the ability to determine the outcome of most matters submitted to a vote of shareholders as well as the overall management and direction of dLocal, third parties may be deterred in their willingness to make an unsolicited merger, takeover, or other change of control proposal, or to engage in a proxy contest for the election of directors.

Protection of Non-Controlling Shareholders

The Grand Court of the Cayman Islands may, on the application of shareholders holding not less than one fifth of the shares of dLocal in issue, appoint an inspector to examine the Company’s affairs and report thereon in a manner as the Grand Court shall direct.

Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, any shareholder may petition the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, which may make a winding up order, if the court is of the opinion that this winding up is just and equitable.

Notwithstanding the U. S. securities laws and regulations that are applicable to dLocal, general corporate claims against dLocal by its shareholders must, as a general rule, be based on the general laws of contract or tort applicable in the Cayman Islands or their individual rights as shareholders as established by dLocal’s Articles of Association.

The Grand Court of the Cayman Islands ordinarily would be expected to follow English case law precedents, which permit a minority
