regarding the Transaction. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from the forward-looking statements included in this communication. For example, the expected timing and likelihood of completion
of the Transaction, including the timing, receipt and terms and conditions of any required governmental and regulatory approvals
of the Transaction that could reduce anticipated benefits or cause the parties to abandon the Transaction, the ability to successfully
integrate the businesses, the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of
the agreements relating to the Transaction, the risk that the parties may not be able to satisfy the conditions to the Transaction
in a timely manner or at all, risks related to disruption of management time from ongoing business operations due to the Transaction,
the risk that any announcements relating to the Transaction could have adverse effects on the market price of the shares of Stone
or Linx, the risk that the Transaction and its announcement could have an adverse effect on the ability of Stone and Linx to retain
customers and retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with their suppliers and customers and on their operating
results and businesses generally, the risk that problems may arise in successfully integrating the businesses of the companies,
which may result in the combined company not operating as effectively and efficiently as expected, the risk that the combined
company may be unable to achieve cost-cutting synergies or it may take longer than expected to achieve those synergies, and other
factors. All such factors are difficult to predict and are beyond Stone&rsquo;s control, including those detailed in Stone&rsquo;s
annual reports on Form 20-F and current reports on Form 6-K that are available on its website at http://www.stone.co and on the
SEC&rsquo;s website at http://www.sec.gov. Stone&rsquo;s forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that Stone believes
to be reasonable but that may not prove to be accurate. Stone undertakes no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions
to any such forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances that occur, or which we become aware
of, except as required by applicable law or regulation. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements that speak only as of the date hereof.</FONT></P>
