NOTES
IF YOU HAVE EXECUTED A STANDING PROXY, YOUR STANDING PROXY WILL BE VOTED AS INDICATED IN NOTE 2 BELOW, UNLESS YOU ATTEND THE AGM IN PERSON OR SEND IN A SPECIFIC PROXY.
1A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the AGM is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote in his/her stead.
2Any standing proxy previously deposited by a shareholder with the Company will be voted in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM unless revoked prior to the AGM or the shareholder attends the AGM in person.
3If two or more persons are jointly registered as holders of a share, the vote of the senior person who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of other joint holders. For this purpose, seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand on the Company's register of shareholders in respect of the relevant shares.
4A shareholder holding more than one share entitled to attend and vote at the AGM need not cast the votes in respect of such shares in the same way on any resolution and therefore may vote a share or some or all such shares either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting a share or some or all of the shares and, subject to the terms of the instrument appointing any proxy, a proxy appointed under one or more instruments may vote a share or some or all of the shares in respect of which he is appointed either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting.
5No business shall be transacted at the AGM unless a quorum is present. As set out in the articles of association of the Company, a quorum for a general meeting consists of any one or more persons holding or representing by proxy not less than one-third of the aggregate voting power of all shares in issue and entitled to vote. No person shall be entitled to vote at the AGM unless he is registered as a shareholder of the Company on the record date for the AGM nor unless all calls or other sums presently payable by him in respect of such shares have been paid.

Record Date, Share Ownership and Quorum
Only the holders of record of Class A common shares and Class B common shares (together, the “Common Shares”) of the Company as at the close of business on August 29, 2024, New York time (the “Record Date”) are entitled to receive notice of and attend the AGM and any adjournment thereof. No person shall be entitled to vote at the AGM unless they are registered as a shareholder of the Company on the Record Date.
As of the close of business on the Record Date, 284,817,636 Common Shares were issued and outstanding, including 150,763,444 Class A common shares and 134,054,192 Class B common shares. One or more shareholders holding not less than one-third in aggregate of the voting power of all Common Shares in issue and entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorized representative, constitutes a quorum of the shareholders.
Voting and Solicitation
Each Class A common share issued and outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date is entitled to one vote at the AGM. Each Class B common share issued and outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date is entitled to five votes at the AGM. The resolutions to be put to the vote at the AGM will each be approved by an ordinary resolution (i.e. a simple majority of the votes cast, by or on behalf of, the shareholders attending and voting at the AGM).
Voting by Holders of Common Shares
Common Shares that are properly voted, for which proxy cards are properly executed and returned within the deadline set forth below, will be voted at the AGM in accordance with the directions given. If no specific instructions are given in such proxy cards, the proxy holder will vote in favor of the item(s) set forth in the proxy card. The proxy holder will also vote in the discretion of such proxy holder on any other matters that may properly come before the AGM, or at any adjournment thereof. Where any holder of Common Shares affirmatively abstains from voting on any particular resolution, the votes attaching to such Common Shares will not be included or counted in the determination of the number of Common Shares present and voting for the purposes of determining whether such resolution has been passed (but they will be counted for the purposes of determining the quorum, as described above).
Attending the Meeting Virtually
If you are a registered shareholder (i.e., you hold your shares through our transfer agent, Computershare), you do not need to register to attend the Annual Meeting virtually on the Internet. Please follow the instructions on the notice or proxy card that you received.
If you hold your shares through an intermediary, such as a bank or broker, you must register in advance to attend the Annual Meeting virtually on the Internet. To register to attend the Annual Meeting online by webcast you must submit proof of your proxy power (legal proxy) reflecting your holdings in the Company along with your name and email address to Computershare. Requests for registration must be labeled as “Legal Proxy” and be received no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on October 18, 2024.
You will receive a confirmation of your registration by email after we receive your registration materials.

United States
Proxies submitted by registered shareholders and street shareholders (by returning the proxy card) must be received by us no later than 11:59 p.m., New York time, on October 22, 2024 to ensure your representation at our AGM.
The manner in which your Common Shares may be voted depends on how your Common Shares are held. If you own Common Shares of record, meaning that your Common Shares are represented by book entries in your name so that you appear as a shareholder on the records of Computershare Inc. (“Computershare”) (i.e., you are a registered shareholder), our stock transfer agent, the Notice of the AGM will be e-mailed to you by Computershare indicating that this proxy statement, the notice of AGM and the proxy card are available on our website. You may provide voting instructions by returning a proxy card. You also may attend the AGM and vote in person. If you own Common Shares of record and you do not vote by proxy or at the AGM, your Common Shares will not be voted.
If you own Common Shares in street name (i.e., you are a street shareholder), meaning that your Common Shares are held by a bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee, you are then considered the “beneficial owner” of Common Shares held in “street name,” and as a result, this proxy statement, the notice of AGM and the proxy card will be provided to you by your bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee holding the Common Shares. You may provide voting instructions to them directly by returning a voting instruction form received from that institution. If you own
Common Shares in street name and attend the AGM, you must obtain a “legal proxy” from the bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee that holds your Common Shares in order to vote your Common Shares at the AGM by presenting your voting information card.
Revocability of Proxies
Registered shareholders may revoke their proxy or change voting instructions before Common Shares are voted at the AGM by submitting a written notice of revocation to our Investor Relations department (investor@dlocal.com), or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date (which must be received by us no later than the date set forth below) or by attending the AGM and voting in person. A beneficial owner owning Common Shares in street name may revoke or change voting instructions by contacting the bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee holding the Common Shares or by obtaining a legal proxy from such institution and voting in person at the AGM. If you are not planning to attend our AGM in person to ensure your representation at our AGM, revocation of proxies submitted by registered shareholders and street shareholders (by returning a proxy card) must be received by us no later than 11:59 p.m., New York time, on October 22, 2024.
