ZENVIA announces agreement with D1 and Movidesk to extend payments
Amount to be paid until the end of 2023 was
reduced from R$360 million to R$31 million
D1 and Movidesk payments to be diluted over two and three years, respectively
São Paulo, October 26, 2022 – Zenvia Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENV)
(the “Company”), the leading cloud-based CX platform in Latin America, empowering companies to transform their customer journeys,
today announced the successful renegotiation of remaining payments linked to the acquisitions of D1 and Movidesk.
Shay Chor, Zenvia’s CFO, stated: “We are very proud to have
reached these agreements with D1 and Movidesk. Both acquisitions were important in positioning Zenvia as the most comprehensive CX SaaS
platform in Latin America. As we acknowledge the challenging global funding environment for tech companies, we are taking a series of
initiatives to preserve cash and generate EBITDA. Following the agreements, our funding gap until the end of 2023 has now significantly
declined, allowing us to focus on continuing expanding gross profit and generating positive EBITDA. There is a huge white space opportunity
in the SaaS market that we have just begun to tap, and we are already seeing the results of our hard work and innovation in our profitability.
We are very excited with the prospects of our company moving forward.”
For D1, the last fixed installment due to certain former shareholders
on March 31, 2023, of BRL 40 million, will now be paid, as follows: (i) BRL 8 million in January 2023, (ii) BRL 4 million in February
2023, BRL 5 million in March 2023 and (iv) 23 monthly installments of BRL 1.4 million between April 2023 and February 2025, subject to
accrued interests in line with Zenvia’s current bank financing costs.
For Movidesk, the earn-out payment due to certain former shareholders,
previously expected to total BRL 320 million, will now be paid in fixed and variable installments subject to accrued interest in line
with Zenvia’s current bank financing costs. Per the terms of the agreement, (i) BRL 1.2 million will be paid in 12 fixed monthly
installments from January 2023 until December 2023, (ii) BRL 205 million will be paid in 36 fixed monthly installments from January 2024
until December 2026, and (iii) an additional variable amount calculated in terms of certain gross margin targets achieved by the end of
September 2023, currently expected to total BRL 30 million, will be paid in 6 monthly installments from January 2024 until June 2024.
Additionally, the Company plans to accelerate the integration of Movidesk, which is expected to bring cost synergies and significant value
to Zenvia’s offerings. As part of the integration, Movidesk’s founder and former CEO, Donisete Gomes, will step down by the
end of November 2022. Zenvia thanks Donisete for his contributions and wishes him all the success in his next endeavors.
Finally, Zenvia will release its fiscal third quarter 2022 results after
market close on Wednesday, November 16, 2022 and on Thursday, November 17, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, Zenvia’s senior management
team will host a webcast to discuss the performance and outlook for the business.
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 webcast.
