73、ee“RiskFactorsRisks Related to the Nuvini Groups BusinessNuvini is an early-stage company with a history of operating lossesand expects to incur significant expenses and continuing losses at least for the near-and medium-term,which may affect itsability to continue as a going concern.”Nuvinis core s
74、trategy is to acquire,operate,retain and partner with existing management of established companies.Nuvinibelieves that the businesses it has acquired have the potential to be leaders in their respective markets due to Nuvinis culturethat facilitates each Nuvini Acquired Company to operate independen
75、tly and encourages them to partner with Nuvinismanagement.Nuvini chose each of the Nuvini Acquired Companies because it believes that their respective existingmanagement teams understand the economics of their respective industries better than most of their competitors,therebypromoting long-term suc
76、cess for each Nuvini Acquired Company within each specific industry.Nuvini believes it creates value through long-term partnerships by focusing on accelerating the growth of each NuviniAcquired Company through strengthening its commercial strategies,increasing the efficiency of internal processes an
77、denhancing its governance structure.With a diversified portfolio of B2B companies in multiple markets,Nuvini believes it hasthe experience and expertise to optimize the performance of the Nuvini Acquired Companies businesses and expedite theirdevelopment.Nuvini believes it optimizes performance by p
78、roviding back-office support,which allows for the standardizationof processes and benefits,and leverages people and talent consistently across the Nuvini Group.As further detailed below in“Capabilities of the Nuvini Acquired Companies,”the Nuvini Acquired Companies offerproprietary SaaS products to
79、their clients to meet certain critical requirements.Nuvini believes that the Nuvini AcquiredCompanies products and services enable each of their respective clients to increase sales,improve client service,increase teamproductivity and operate more cost-effectively.Nuvini believes that acquiring SaaS
80、 companies that are consistent with its business philosophy enhances its ability to earnabove average returns on its capital.Nuvini believes it continues to foster organic growth by expanding the Nuvini Acquired Companies client,geographic andproduct reach.Nuvinis acquisition strategy is to select t
81、arget companies based on financial metrics(such as recurring revenueand positive cash generation),relevant growth potential and the target companys discrete market within the SaaS industry.Business Model Nuvini acquires,manages and builds software as a service(“SaaS”)companies that have strong cash
82、generation andrevenue growth,are leaders in fragmented markets and generate a recurring,solid client base with low client turnover.Below isa discussion of Nuvinis business model in acquiring target companies and accelerating Nuvini Acquired Companiesefficiencies and growth:1 Acquire Nuvinis business
83、 model is focused on acquiring profitable business to business(“B2B”)SaaS companies with thefollowing characteristics:a cohesive and focused business model,recurring revenue,positive cash generation and relevantgrowth potential.Further,Nuvini opts for acquiring companies that are leaders in discrete
84、 markets.Nuvini prides itself of aquick and efficient capital allocation process,combined with a diligent and repeatable mergers and acquisitions(“M&A”)process.Nuvini aims to achieve this by executing the following during the M&A process:Conducting robust due diligence on historical financial statem
85、ents,KPIs,legal and tax position with externalconsulting,best practices connected with founders earnout value;Establishing an Investment Committee for monitoring and approving new mergers and acquisitions;and Causing the board of directors of Nuvini(“Board”)to review the fit between the portfolio/ac
86、quisition targets strategyand Nuvinis strategy.Manage The graphic below illustrates Nuvinis business model of managing the Nuvini Acquired Companies.Once Nuvini acquires a SaaS company,Nuvini focuses on managing it according to the following principles:Accelerate Efficiency and Growth:Nuvini has a v
87、ision and strategy to focus on growth and best practices.In an effort tomaximize each Nuvini Acquired Companys performance,Nuvini provides back-office support,which includes but is notlimited to,talent training and sourcing,accounting standardization,and audit support.The back-office support standar
88、dizesprocesses and benefits and leverages people and talent consistently across the Nuvini Group.By utilizing talent sourcing andretention strategies from the Nuvini Group,Nuvini provides training for talent across the Nuvini Acquired Companies.Decentralized Management Structure:Each Nuvini Acquired
89、 Company has experienced management teams operating ineach of its respective SaaS companies,backed by Nuvinis infrastructure.The results of the financial performance of the NuviniAcquired Companies are consolidated and reviewed at the level of Nuvini for purposes of making decisions concerningfinanc
90、ial management.Nuvini provides financial and strategic expertise with respect to capital allocation,acquisitions,finance,tax,compensation policy and recruitment.Each Nuvini Acquired Companys management is motivated to administer its business in a highly focused manner.Management of each Nuvini Acqui
91、red Companies are encouraged to leverage their respective market sector knowledge in orderto maximize the growth opportunities,profitability and return on capital employed within their business.2 The Nuvini Groups decentralized management structure has allowed the Nuvini Group to facilitate separate
92、 managementteams with key client relationships and deep market sector knowledge that are more focused and efficient than would be thecase under a centralized management model.This creates a high degree of scalability within the Nuvini Groups business modeland provides the Nuvini Group with the oppor
93、tunity to continue growing over both the short-and long-term.Build Once an acquired business begins to achieve targeted financial performance,Nuvini shifts its focus to building the businessthrough autonomy,people,finance and continued growth as follows:Autonomy:Nuvini believes that a key strength i
94、n Nuvinis growth strategy is that each Nuvini Acquired Company is notrequired to integrate onto the same enterprise resource planning(“ERP”).Nuvini accomplishes this by utilizing ERP software toconsolidate information across the Nuvini Acquired Companies,which connects the Nuvini Acquired Companies
95、operations byleveraging the Nuvini Acquired Companies legacy ERP.This approach mitigates the risks associated with post-acquisitionintegration,allowing each business to maintain its own identity and organization while keeping that business structurallyseparate.Without requiring integration,Nuvini be
96、lieves it can attract better entrepreneurs and allow Nuvinis founders to deliverthe best practices for the Nuvini Group.People and Finance:Nuvini focuses on identifying the best talent sources,deploying relevant training and retaining toptalent in the industry.Nuvini focuses on best practices in tal
97、ent acquisition and retention and aims to reduce employee turnoverand hiring timespan.Additionally,for each acquired business,Nuvini develops a talent-focused succession strategy for the post-earnout period.From a finance perspective,Nuvini implements accounting standardization across the Nuvini Acq
98、uired Companies,and willundergo an annual audit by an accounting firm.By utilizing a shared back-office approach,the Nuvini Group benefits fromefficiencies in a standardized contract,as the contract can be leveraged across various acquired companies.Growth:Nuvini continues to seek opportunities to g
99、row its portfolio by providing guidance as an advisor to companiesother than the Nuvini Acquired Companies and engaging in tuck-in acquisitions.Tuck-in acquisitions occur when Nuviniabsorbs a target company to incorporate a specific resource of that target company to grow Nuvinis market share.Nuvini
100、believes this is beneficial because such acquisitions are designed to increase an existing client base.Capabilities of the Nuvini Acquired Companies Nuvini seeks to buy,manage and grow SaaS companies that provide mission-critical services.Listed below are the NuviniAcquired Companies and their respe

130、ion.Seasonality Nuvinis business in general is not subject to seasonality although the Nuvini Group has historically received a highervolume of orders from new and existing clients during the second half of each fiscal year.See“Sales and MarketingChannels”for more information.Growth Opportunity Nuvi
131、nis target geographic markets include Brazil and Latin America,which have a combined annual global IT spend ofUS$161 billion.The Latin American SaaS sector is expected to grow rapidly within the coming years.In 2023,the LatinAmerican Software as a Service(SaaS)market reached approximately US$4.76 bi
132、llion and is projected to grow at a compoundannual growth rate(CAGR)of 7.5%from 2024 to 2032,aiming for US$9.13 billion by 2032,according to Statista and Informesde Expertos.Growth Strategy Nuvini acquires,manages and builds SaaS companies which provide software solutions that address the specific n
133、eeds ofits clients in discrete,specialized sectors.Nuvini focuses on acquiring established companies,allowing them to grow in anentrepreneurial environment,collaborate with existing management teams that understand the industry and support thesecompanies through expertise in financial and strategic
134、capital allocation to generate significant cash flow and revenue growth.5 Nuvini maintains a robust and active M&A pipeline to ensure its continued growth.As of the date of this prospectus,Nuvini has approximately 92 target companies,56 analyzed companies and 32 companies in the current engaged pipe
135、line.Nuvini conducts its initial analysis by considering if a company should be in its M&A pipeline for being generally a profitableB2B SaaS company with a consolidated business model,recurring revenue,positive cash generation and relevant growthpotential,and has received an expected purchase price
136、or valuation from the selling company or its advisors.Nuvini believesthat it could sign a non-binding letter of intent for an M&A transaction with any of the companies in its current engaged pipelineat any time based on Nuvinis initial analysis and current market dynamics.Nuvinis initial analysis is
137、 meant to ensure that suchcompanies are already interested in Nuvinis model and are willing to engage Nuvini without the need for Nuvini to actively andfurther pursue such companies.Nuvini believes that the current market conditions where the Nuvini Group operates aredepressed and deflated,which tra
138、nslates to fewer competing bidders.Nuvini believes that its model is attractive for suchcompanies in the current market conditions because most of Nuvinis M&A activities are not integrations or consolidations butinvolve creating plans that do not intend to decrease or terminate the employees of the
139、acquired companies.Additional factorsalso indicate that such companies will sign non-binding letters of intent including overall company strategy,cultural fit,financial considerations,market conditions,regulatory considerations,and the interests of the Nuvini Group as a whole.Allcompanies that are e
140、ngaged in the M&A pipeline have voluntarily entered discussions about potential M&A transactions.Thesediscussions have involved sharing data rooms to provide information about the company,allowing Nuvini to learn more aboutthe companys business,meeting founders and managers,and permitting Nuvini to
141、conduct market research.Nuvini continuesto receive monthly updates from these companies for a period of 6 to 12 months before Nuvini decides to pursue a transaction.While Nuvini acquisition targets are generally profitable,Nuvini is an early-stage company with a history of operating losses.See“Risk
142、Factors Risks Related to the Nuvini Groups Business Nuvini is an early-stage company with a history ofoperating losses and expects to incur significant expenses and continuing losses at least for the near-and medium-term,whichmay affect its ability to continue as a going concern.”The core elements o
143、f the Nuvini Groups ongoing growth strategy include:1.Continuing to Build the Nuvini Groups Existing Businesses through Organic Growth Initiatives.As Nuvini acquiresestablished companies,it believes that additional growth can be fostered by allowing existing management to function in anentrepreneuri
144、al environment.Nuvini will continue to focus on accelerating the growth of each acquired business throughstrengthening the commercial strategy,increasing the efficiency of internal processes and enhancing its governance structure.2.Acquiring and Managing New Companies through Acquisitions.Nuvini wil
145、l continue to target and acquire companies toaccelerate growth and maximize its return on invested capital.To date,there have been seven strategic acquisitions.Nuvini hasretained the majority of management teams from each Nuvini Acquired Company,which has allowed Nuvini to retain theknowledge to man
146、age and continue to grow these companies.The Nuvini Group believes it is well-positioned to expand its presence as a SaaS platform in Brazil into Latin America.This expansion strategy is bolstered by structural competitive advantages provided by the Nuvini Acquired Companies ownintegrated platform a
147、nd proprietary technologies with vast untapped potential to be further unlocked.In particular,the NuviniGroup intends to pursue the following measures for sustainable growth:Inorganic growth:The Nuvini Group provides solutions for Brazil and believes it has inorganic growth potential byscaling-up th
148、e proven merger and acquisition strategy into and across Latin America.Its inorganic growth strategy includes:oFocus on Brazil and Latin America;oStrategy to replicate the tested business model in other geographies;oGoal to conclude at least four acquisitions per year;oSolid pipeline mapped with com
149、panies all over Brazil;and oSupport of Mercato,with expertise in Latin America Organic growth:The Nuvini Group intends to grow organically by accelerating the Nuvini Acquired Companies growthin less saturated markets;increasing efficiency and improving margins by capitalizing on cross-selling opport
150、unities betweenthe Nuvini Acquired Companies.6 Roll-up of proprietary products and solutions:The Nuvini Group aims to accelerate the expansion of the Nuvini AcquireCompanies proprietary SaaS data software solutions.Guided by a“land and expand”strategy with companies and with aproduct roadmap aimed t
151、o better serve large and mid-sized enterprises,the Nuvini Group believes that certain of the NuviniAcquired Companies clients will naturally migrate away from third-party product offerings to the Nuvini Acquired Companiesproprietary solutions.The Nuvini Group expects to be able to extract more value
152、 from the Nuvini Acquired Companies clientportfolio,with each of their legacy businesses serving as a strong source of referrals for its proprietary platforms and solutions.Moreover,the Nuvini Group believes that its increased offering of AI&data analytics services can facilitate a deepening of itsc
153、lient relationships,which,in turn,can present additional cross-selling and upselling opportunities for the Nuvini AcquiredCompanies proprietary solutions.Expand global footprint through selective geographic extension to attract diverse clients across geographies:TheNuvini Group believes that most or
154、ganizations will in the future embrace a data-centric business approach,as evidenced by anincrease in public cloud adoption,and,therefore,there is a substantial opportunity to continue in growing the Nuvini AcquiredCompanies client base globally.The Nuvini Group intends to pursue geographic expansio
155、n by increasing market penetration inBrazil and Latin America,while expanding into new locations.The Nuvini Group believes that this increased global penetrationwill be driven by the expansion of Latin America-based clients expanding outside of their local geographies,as well asmultinationals that d
156、evelop a software solution to serve their Latin American operations and then seek to implement it acrosstheir global operations.The Nuvini Group believes it is well-positioned to capture this global expansion trend with a portfolio ofproducts with global reach,internationally competitive pricing and
157、 the ability to provide 24x7 support.To drive new clientgrowth,the Nuvini Group intends to continue investing in sales and marketing both in Brazil as well as in its core expansionsectors.Nuvini intends to expand its operations internationally both organically and via acquisitions.For the years ende
158、dDecember 31,2023,and 2022 and the six-months ended June 30,2024,100%of revenue was generated in Brazil.Expand relationships with existing clients and focus on cross and up-selling opportunities:As clients realize thebenefits of the Nuvini Acquired Companies SaaS services,clients typically increase
159、their consumption by processing,storingand sharing more data and gradually replacing third-party software products.In this way,the Nuvini Acquired Companiesclient relationships typically begin with offering a single software product or service and,over time,evolve to encompass a fullrange of data so
160、lutions across a broader range of platforms.To this end,the Nuvini Group intends to further expand the scope ofthe technical services provided by the Nuvini Acquired Companies software engineers as well as build specialized datasoftware solutions for existing clients,particularly through increased i
161、nvestments in enhanced up-selling and cross-sellingefforts.Nuvini intends to focus such endeavors on large clients with expansive data needs in order to promote scale andoperating leverage for the Nuvini Acquired Companies software and technical services.Execute bolt-on acquisitions with strategic v
162、alue:Nuvini intends to pursue selected strategic acquisitions,joint ventures,investments and alliances that can(i)accelerate the execution of its business plan,(ii)maximize cross-selling and up-sellingopportunities and(iii)strengthen the Nuvini Groups relationships with Latin American and multinatio
163、nal companies to expandawareness and usage of its product portfolio.In addition,Nuvini intends to pursue acquisition opportunities that may expand itstechnological and software development capabilities,add proprietary intellectual property and bring experienced,talented anddedicated professionals to
164、 the Nuvini Groups team.Nuvini believes Nuvini Acquired Companies management teams have benefited from Nuvinis solutions,which broughtefficiency,speed,assertiveness,and optimization to their decisions in the following ways:Chief information officers of the Nuvini Acquired Companies have benefited fr
165、om Nuvinis solutions,transformingraw data into analytics;Project and business leaders of the Nuvini Acquired Companies benefited from Nuvinis solutions,capturingoptimization metrics for their most relevant businesses;7 The Nuvini Acquired Companies data scientists have benefited from Nuvinis solutio
166、ns,optimizing their capabilitiesfor building new algorithms;and Chief executive officers of the Nuvini Acquired Companies have benefited from Nuvinis solutions,as Nuvini servesas a strong ally in increasing their revenues and enabling effective cloud management.Market Opportunity We are well-positio
167、ned to leverage favorable industry trends across various business sectors.The latest advancements intechnology and market dynamics are reshaping how organizations utilize data,which we believe will benefit us.Key trendsinclude:Digital Transformation as a Competitive Necessity:Digital transformation
168、is now a critical priority for nearly allglobal organizations,regardless of industry.This shift fundamentally changes how businesses use technology to engage withcustomers and compete in the market.Software applications have become essential drivers of business success.Conversely,poor technological
169、performance can lead to negative user experiences,lost revenue,customer attrition,a damaged brand image,and decreased employee productivity.Consequently,companies across sectors are making significant investments to digitallytransform their operations and enhance customer experience.Data as the Core
170、 of Business Innovation:Data is pivotal in driving a companys digital transformation,offering deeperinsights for business optimization.It has revolutionized how customer relationships are managed,enabling the delivery ofengaging and personalized experiences,anticipating market trends,predicting cust
171、omer behavior,and shaping new businessstrategies.We believe that organizations worldwide are actively seeking ways to transform their operations by capturing,analyzing,and utilizing data effectively.Customers The clients of the Nuvini Acquired Companies are ultimately the clients of the Nuvini Group
172、.The largest clients typicallyengage the Nuvini Group for more than one software product or solution,together with complementary data analytics and othersupport services,each pursuant to separate contracts with varying scopes and durations based on the type of product or service.However,the Nuvini G
173、roup did not have any significant clients,constituting over 10%of its overall revenue.For the yearsended December 31,2023,and 2022 and the six-months ended June 30,2024,and 2023,the Nuvini Group had a total of21,708,21,644 and 22,055,21,718 clients,respectively.The Nuvini Groups client base is diver
174、sified and unique to each NuviniAcquired Companies services and product lines.Sales and Marketing Channels Nuvini sells its products and services through the Nuvini Acquired Companies direct sales and marketing teams,consistingof 134 individuals across all subsidiaries.Each Nuvini Acquired Company h
175、as a dedicated sales and marketing team which hasin-depth knowledge of the sector as well as how each of its products and services can support clients.Consistent with other data solutions and software providers,the Nuvini Group has historically received a higher volume oforders from new and existing
176、 clients during the second half of each fiscal year.Nuvini believes that this results from higherretail sales volume during the second half of the fiscal year.Software Engineering and Research&Development The Nuvini Groups product development strategy combines innovation of existing technologies,int
177、roduction of newtechnologies and committed,long-term support for its clients current systems.The Nuvini Groups research and developmentactivities are focused on designing,developing,testing,and integrating new products as well as enhancing the features andfunctionality of its existing software solut
178、ions.The Nuvini Group also seeks to offer streamlined upgrade and migration toolsfor its clients.8 The Nuvini Group relies primarily on its in-house capabilities to develop software solutions using industry-standardsoftware development tools unless doing so is costly and not strategic to its busines
179、s,the Nuvini Group will have to licensecertain technology components from third-party providers.Intellectual Property Intellectual property rights are important for the success of the Nuvini Groups business.The Nuvini Group relies on acombination of copyright(including software),trademark,domain nam
180、e and trade secret laws in Brazil and other jurisdictions,as well as license agreements,confidentiality procedures,non-disclosure agreements with its own employees and third partiesand other contractual protections,to protect its intellectual property rights,including the Nuvini Groups proprietary t
181、echnology,software,know-how and brand.In Brazil,as of the date of this annual update,the Nuvini Group has no registered patents,no pending patent applications,25 registered trademarks,two pending trademark applications,seven registered and several unregistered proprietary softwares,62 domain names r
182、egistered with the Registro.br(the Brazilian internet domain name registry)and 126 other domain namesregistered with other internet domain name registries in foreign jurisdictions.Nuvini continually reviews its development effortsto assess the existence and patentability of new intellectual property
183、.Although the Nuvini Group relies on intellectual property rights,such as patents,copyrights(including software),trademarks,domain names and trade secrets,as well as contractual protections to establish and protect the Nuvini Groupsproprietary rights,it believes that factors such as the technologica
184、l and creative skills of the Nuvini Groups personnel,creationof new services,features and functionality and frequent enhancements to its platform are essential to establishing andmaintaining the Nuvini Groups competitive position.Despite the Nuvini Groups efforts to safeguard its technology and prop
185、rietary rights through intellectual property rights,licenses and other contractual protections,unauthorized parties may still copy or otherwise obtain and use Nuvini Groupssoftware and other technology,as well as use and file for similar trademarks and domain names.Any significant impairment ofthe N
186、uvini Groups intellectual property rights could adversely affect the Nuvini Groups business or its ability to compete.The Nuvini Group controls access to and use of its proprietary technology and other confidential information through theuse of internal and external controls,including contractual pr
187、otections with employees,contractors,clients and partners.The Nuvini Group requires its employees,consultants and other third parties to enter into confidentiality and proprietaryrights agreements and the Nuvini Group controls and monitors access to its software,documentation,proprietary technologya
188、nd other confidential information.The Nuvini Groups policy is to require all employees and independent contractors to signagreements assigning to the Nuvini Group any inventions,trade secrets,works of authorship,developments,processes and otherintellectual property generated by them on its behalf an
189、d under which they agree to protect the Nuvini Groups confidentialinformation.In addition,the Nuvini Group generally enters into confidentiality agreements with the Nuvini AcquiredCompanies clients and partners.Competition Competing to acquire SaaS companies is generally based upon several factors i
190、ncluding seamless integration of the NuviniAcquired Companies,diversification and profitability.Nuvinis approach to acquiring businesses is to acquire companies thatoperate in distinct,highly specialized sectors within the SaaS market,which allows Nuvini to diversify the Nuvini Groupsbusinesses and
191、pursue the companies that have recurring revenue,positive cash generation and strong growth potential.Thisallows Nuvini to focus on acquiring companies that have a recurring client base with low client turnover.Nuvini believes thisapproach enables it to be more competitive than its peers.Nuvinis dir
192、ect competitors include Constellation Software Inc,Vitec,Roper Technologies and Tyler Technologies.Although Nuvinis competitors have completed a higher number of acquisitions(primarily based on when each competitor wasfounded),Nuvini has demonstrated higher recurring revenues,gross margin and EBITDA
193、 margin compared to its competitors.More importantly,Nuvini believes that its focus on the Brazilian and Latin American markets provides a competitive edgebecause unlike its other direct competitors operating in a more expansive global regions,Nuvini is able to direct and devoteresources to the Braz
194、ilian and Latin American markets,while also providing local support to the Nuvini Acquired Companies.9 Regulatory Overview Data Protection and Privacy The Nuvini Acquired Companies use,collect,store,transmit and process client data to run the Nuvini AcquiredCompanies businesses.As a result,the Nuvin
195、i Groups compliance with local,state,federal and foreign laws and regulationsdealing with the use,collection,storage,transmission,disclosure,disposal,and other processing of personal data is core to theoperation of the Nuvini Acquired Companies businesses.Regulators around the world have adopted or
196、proposed requirementsregarding the collection,use,transfer,security,storage,destruction and other processing of personal data.The applicability ofthese laws and regulations to the Nuvini Acquired Companies,and the Nuvini Acquired Companies scope and interpretation,are constantly evolving,often uncer
197、tain and may conflict between jurisdictions,and the Nuvini Group anticipates the number ofdata privacy laws and the scope of individual data privacy and protection rights will increase,and as a result,the NuviniGroups associated compliance burdens and costs could increase in the future.It may be cos
198、tly to implement security or othermeasures designed to comply with these laws and regulations,as well as any new or updated laws or regulations.Any actual orperceived failure to safeguard data adequately,destroy data securely or otherwise comply with the requirements of these lawsand regulations,may
199、 subject the Nuvini Group to litigation,regulatory investigations or enforcement actions under federal,stateor foreign data security,unfair practices or consumer protection laws and contractual penalties,and result in monetary damages,damage to the Nuvini Groups reputation or adversely affect the Nu
200、vini Acquired Companies ability to retain clients or attractnew clients.A number of the jurisdictions in which the Nuvini Group operates have adopted or are considering adopting data protectionand privacy laws and regulations,including Brazil and the United States.BRAZIL In September 2020,Brazilian
201、Federal Law No.13,709,dated August 14,2018,the Brazilian General Data Protection Law(Lei Geral de Proteo de Dados Pessoais,or“LGPD”),came into effect to regulate the processing of personal data in Brazil.The LGPD establishes general principles,obligations and detailed rules to be observed by individ
202、uals and public or privatecompanies in operations involving processing of personal data in Brazil,including but not limited to,the collection,use,processing and storage of personal data,in all economic sectors,including in the relationship between clients and suppliers ofgoods and services,employees
203、 and employers and other relationships in which personal data is processed,whether in a digitalor physical environment.The LGPD provides for,among other things,the rights of the data subjects,the legal bases applicableto the processing of personal data,the requirements to obtain consent,the obligati
204、ons and requirements related to securityincidents and leakages and transfers of personal data,the obligations of a data controller and a data processor,as well as thecreation of the Brazilian Data Protection Authority(Autoridade Nacional de Proteo de Dados,or“ANPD”),which is theentity responsible fo
205、r the inspection,promotion,disclosure,regulation and application of the LGPD.Federal Law No.14,010,dated June 10,2020,amended certain provisions of the LGPD.As a result,in case ofnoncompliance with the LGPD,the Nuvini Group is subject to administrative sanctions applicable by the ANPD as of August 1
206、,2021 onwards,on an isolated or cumulative basis,that can range from warnings,obligation to disclose incidents,temporaryblocking and/or elimination of personal data related to the infraction,a simple fine of up to 2.0%of the Nuvini Groups revenueor revenue of the Nuvini Acquired Companies in Brazil
207、for the last fiscal year,excluding taxes,up to the global amount of R$50million per violation,a daily fine,up to the aforesaid global limit,suspension of the operation of the database related to theinfraction for a maximum period of six-months,which can be extended for an equal period,up to the regu
208、larization of theprocessing by the controlling shareholder,suspension of activities related to processing of personal data related to the infractionfor a period of six-months,which can be extended for an equal period,to the partial or total prohibition to exercise activitiesrelated to data processin
209、g.The imposition of LGPD administrative sanctions does not inhibit the imposition of administrative sanctions set forth byother laws that address issues related to data privacy and protection,such as the Brazilian Code of Consumer Defense and theBrazilian Civil Rights Framework for the Internet.Thes
210、e administrative sanctions can be applied by other public authorities,such as the Attorney Generals Office and consumer protection agencies.The Nuvini Group can also be subject to civilliabilities for violation of any of these laws.In addition to the administrative sanctions due to the noncompliance
211、 with the obligations established by the LGPD,theNuvini Group can be held liable for individual or collective material damages,and non-material damages caused to datasubjects,including when caused by service providers that serve as data processors on the Nuvini Acquired Companies behalf.10 UNITED ST
212、ATES In the United States,various laws and regulations apply to the security,collection,storage,use,disclosure and otherprocessing of certain types of data.For example,California adopted the CCPA,which became effective in January 2020.TheCCPA establishes a privacy framework for covered businesses,in
213、cluding an expansive definition of personal information anddata privacy rights for California residents.Among other requirements,the CCPA mandates new disclosure to Californiaconsumers and allows California consumers to request a copy of the personal information collected about them,request deletion
214、of their personal information and request to opt out of certain sales of personal information.The CCPA includes a frameworkwith potentially severe statutory damages and private rights of action.Further,in November 2020,California voters passed theCPRA,which expands the CCPA with additional data priv
215、acy compliance requirements and establishes a regulatory agencydedicated to enforcing those requirements.In addition,other states,such as Virginia,have also adopted or are consideringadopting similar data privacy laws and all 50 states have adopted laws requiring notice to consumers of a security br
216、eachinvolving their personal information.EUROPEAN UNION AND THE UNITED KINGDOM The European Unions(EU)GDPR became effective in May 2018,and is applicable to companies processing personal dataof data subjects in the European Economic Area(the“EEA”).The GDPR is wide-ranging in scope and implements str
217、ingentrequirements in relation to the collection,use,retention,protection,disclosure,transfer and other processing of personal datarelating to EEA data subjects,with substantial monetary penalties for violations.Personal data as defined under the GDPRincludes any type of information that can identif
218、y a living individual,including name,identification number,email address,location,internet protocol addresses and cookie identifiers.Among other requirements,the GDPR mandates more stringentadministrative requirements for controllers and processors of personal data,including,for example,notice of an
219、d a lawful basisfor data processing activities,data protection impact assessments,a right to“erasure”of personal data and data breachreporting.In the case of noncompliance with the obligations under the GDPR,companies may be exposed to significant finesranging from 10 million to 20 million or 2.0%to
220、 4.0%of total worldwide annual revenue,whichever is higher.The GDPRalso provides that EU member states may enact their own additional laws and regulations in relation to certain data processingactivities.Recent legal developments in the EU have also created complexity and uncertainty regarding trans
221、fers of personaldata from the EEA to“third countries,”especially the United States.For example,on July 16,2020,the Court of Justice of theEuropean Union(the“CJEU”)in Schrems II invalidated the EU-U.S.Privacy Shield Framework,a mechanism for the transferof personal data from the EEA to the United Sta
222、tes,and made clear that reliance on standard contractual clauses may not besufficient in all circumstances,whereby organizations may be required to take supplementary measures.Furthermore,on June 4,2021,the European Commission published a new set of modular standard contractual clauses which are des
223、igned to take intoaccount the CJEUs judgement in Schrems II and must be used for all new contracts entered into and new processingoperations undertaken as of September 27,2021.The United Kingdoms(“UK”)withdrawal from the EU and ongoing developments in the UK have created uncertaintyregarding data pr
224、otection regulation in the UK.Following the UKs withdrawal from the EU on January 31,2020(“Brexit”),pursuant to the transitional arrangements agreed to between the UK and EU,the GDPR continued to have effect in law in theUK,and continued to do so until December 31,2020,as if the UK remained a member
225、 state of the EU for such purposes.Following December 31,2020,and the expiry of those transitional arrangements,the data protection obligations of the GDPRcontinue to apply to UK-related processing of personal data in substantially unvaried form by virtue of section 3 of theEuropean Union(Withdrawal
226、)Act 2018,as amended,which,together with the amended UK Data Protection Act of 2018,transposes the GDPR in UK national law(“UK GDPR”).However,going forward,there may be increasing scope fordivergence in application,interpretation and enforcement of data protection laws as between the UK and the EEA,
227、and therelationship between the UK and the EEA in relation to certain aspects of data protection laws remains uncertain.For example,the new set of standard contractual clauses only apply to the transfer of personal data outside of the EEA and not the UK.Although the European Commission adopted an ad
228、equacy decision with respect to the UK on June 28,2021,allowing the flowof personal data from the EEA to the UK to continue,this decision will be regularly reviewed and may be revoked if the UKdiverges from its current adequate data protection laws following Brexit.The UK Information Commissioners O
229、ffice hasconsulted on,and is developing,its own international data transfer requirements,including its own specific international datatransfer agreement and a UK addendum to the standard contractual clauses.The Nuvini Group is accordingly monitoring thesedevelopments,but it may,in addition to other
230、impacts,experience additional costs associated with increased complianceburdens and be required to engage in new contract negotiations with third parties that aid in processing personal data on theNuvini Groups behalf or localize certain data.11 Regulators in the EEA and UK are increasingly focusing
231、 on compliance with requirements in the online behavioraladvertising ecosystem.National laws in the EEA that implement the ePrivacy Directive are likely to be replaced by the ePrivacyRegulation,which will significantly increase fines for non-compliance,although it will not have an effect in the UK a
232、s a resultof Brexit.This again introduces the possibility that the Nuvini Group will be subject to separate and additional legal regimeswith respect to ePrivacy,which may result in further costs and may necessitate changes to Nuvini S.A.s business practices.TheGDPR and UK GDPR require opt-in,informe
233、d consent for the placement of cookies on a clients device,and imposesconditions on obtaining valid consent(e.g.a prohibition on pre-checked consents).Increased regulation of cookies may lead tobroader restrictions and impairments on the Nuvini Groups online activities and may negatively impact its
234、ability to understandits clients,and there has been a notable rise in enforcement activity from supervisory authorities across the EEA in relation tocookies-related violations.Anti-corruption and Sanctions The Nuvini Group is subject to anti-corruption,anti-bribery,anti-money laundering and economic
235、 sanctions and tradecompliance laws and regulations imposed by governments with jurisdiction over its operations,which may include the BrazilianFederal Law No.12,846/2013(“Brazilian Anti-Corruption Law”),the Brazilian Federal Law No.9,613/1998,as amended(“Brazilian Anti-Money Laundering Law”),the Br
236、azilian Federal Law No.8,429/1992,as amended(“Brazilian AdministrativeImprobity Law”),the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977,as amended(“FCPA”),and the Proceeds of CrimeAct,as amended.The Brazilian Anti-Corruption Law,the FCPA and the Proceeds of Crime Act prohibit corporations andi
237、ndividuals from engaging in improper activities to obtain or retain business or to influence a person working in an officialcapacity.These laws and regulations prohibit,among other things,providing,directly or indirectly,anything of value to anyforeign government official,or any political party or o
238、fficial thereof,or candidate for political office to improperly influencesuch a person.Historically,technology companies have been the target of FCPA and other anti-corruption investigations andpenalties.In addition,the Nuvini Group is subject to U.S.and foreign laws and regulations that restrict it
239、s activities in certaincountries and with certain persons.These include the economic sanctions regulations administered by the U.S.Department ofTreasurys Office of Foreign Assets Control,the U.S.Department of State,the U.S.Department of Commerce,the UnitedNations Security Council and other relevant
240、sanctions authorities.Cybersecurity BRAZIL In the cases in which the Nuvini Group provides services to financial institutions,payment institutions and other entitieslicensed to operate by the Brazilian Central Bank,the Nuvini Group may be required by such institutions to comply with certainrequireme
