------

**<br>(a) APPROVE**, by majority, with 928,445,336 affirmative votes, 72,454 dissenting votes and 1,998 votes not cast due to abstentions, under the terms of article 4, §5 of the Brazilian Corporate Law, the redemption of all the Shares, Units and ADSs issued by the Company that remain not held by PagoNxt, any directors or officers of the Company, or any affiliates of PagoNxt (the "<u>Unaffiliated Securities</u>") after the conclusion of the Offers ("<u>Mandatory Redemption</u>"). All Unaffiliated Securities are subject to the Mandatory Redemption ("<u>Redeemed Securities</u>").

The price paid for the Redeemed Securities ("<u>Redemption Price</u>") that are Shares or Units will be equivalent to the price per security payable on the settlement date of the initial offering period of the Offers, that is, R$2.36 (two reais and thirty-six cents) per Common Share, R$2.36 (two reais and thirty-six cents) per Preferred Share and R$4.72 (four reais and seventy-two cents) per Unit, as adjusted by the SELIC, *pro rata temporis*, rate from the initial date of settlement of the initial offering period of the Offers (*i.e.,* **December 5, 2022**) until the date of the effective payment of the Redemption Price to the holders of Shares and Units, which will occur on or around **February 24, 2023** ("<u>Payment Date</u>"). The Redemption Price for the Redeemed Securities that are ADSs shall be the U.S. dollar equivalent of the Redemption Price of two Units, as adjusted per the above. The Redemption Price will be paid out of the balance of profits or reserves recorded by the Company in its financial statements, without the need for a capital reduction.

The Redemption Price will be paid to the Company's shareholders based on the shareholding position registered by B3 and by Banco Santander (Brasil) S.A. ("<u>Bookkeep</u><u>er</u>") on the present record date (*i.e.*, **February 9, 2023**). The Company's securities are no longer admitted for trading in B3 as of December 29, 2022, one day after the date on which the termination of the Company's registration was granted by the CVM. The payment of the Redemption Price will be made by bank transfer to the account held by holders of Redeemed Securities that are Shares and Units on the Payment Date, according to the data contained in their respective registrations in B3´s systems. With respect to holders of Redeemed Securities that are Shares and Units whose records are not duly updated with B3 or the Bookkeeper, the Redemption Price due shall be deposited and made available to such shareholders with Banco Santander (Brasil) S.A., for a term of ten (10) years.

The holders of Shares or Units that are not Brazilian residents ("<u>Non-Resident Shareholders</u>") will receive the Redemption Price net of any amounts to be paid as Withholding Income Tax. Non-Resident Shareholders shall inform the Company, by **February 15, 2023**, (i) their full names/company names; (ii) the full name of their representatives in Brazil, if applicable; (iii) the enrollment number of their representative in the Brazilian Corporate Taxpayer´s Registry (CNPJ/MF), if applicable; and (iv) the average acquisition cost of their Shares and/or Units, as the case may be, directly to the Company, to the attention of the Investor Relations Officer, via e-mail at **ir@getnet.com.br**, and shall send, in each case, suitable documentation evidencing the average cost informed by the respective Non-Resident Shareholder. In case a Non-Resident Shareholder does not inform his/her respective average acquisition cost, or, at the Company's discretion, does not send the documentation necessary to support the average cost informed, the Company may consider that the acquisition cost of the Non-Resident Shareholder in question is zero, as authorized by applicable law. In any event, the Non-Resident Shareholder and his/her legal representative in Brazil shall be solely responsible for the content of the information submitted, and they shall be liable for any damages and/or liabilities arising from inaccuracy and/or falsity thereof. The average acquisition cost of the Redeemed Securities to be calculated shall be based, as the case may be, on (i) the price in Getnet's listing opening auction (i.e. October 18, 2021), if the relevant shareholder received its Common Shares, Preferred Shares or Units on the date of the Company's listing on B3; or (ii) the amount disbursed by the shareholder to acquire the relevant Common Shares, Preferred Shares or Units on B3, if the acquisition was made after the date of the Company's listing.

The Redeemed Securities will remain in treasury.
