<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">The Brazilian foreign exchange system allows
the purchase and sale of foreign currency and the international transfer of <I>reais</I> by any person or legal entity, regardless
of the amount, subject to certain regulatory procedures.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">The <I>real</I> depreciated against the
U.S. dollar from mid-2011 to early 2016. In particular, during 2015, due to the poor economic conditions in Brazil, including as
a result of political instability, the <I>real</I> depreciated at a rate that was much higher than in previous years. On September
24, 2015, the <I>real</I> fell to its lowest level since the introduction of the currency, at R$4.1945 per U.S.$1.00. Overall in
2015, the real depreciated 32.0%, reaching R$3.9048 per U.S.$1.00 on December 31, 2015. In 2016, the real fluctuated significantly,
primarily as a result of Brazil&rsquo;s political instability, appreciating 19.8% to R$3.2591 per U.S.$1.00 on December 31, 2016.
In 2017, the <I>real</I> depreciated 1.5% against the U.S. dollar, ending the year at an exchange rate of R$3.3080 per U.S.$1.00.
The <I>real</I>/U.S. dollar exchange rate reported by the Brazilian Central Bank was R$3.8748 per U.S.$1.00 on December 31, 2018,
which reflected a 14.6% depreciation in the <I>real</I> against the U.S. dollar during 2018, primarily as a result of lower interest
rates in Brazil, which reduced the volume of foreign currency deposited in Brazil in the &ldquo;carry trade,&rdquo; as well as
uncertainty regarding the results of the Brazilian presidential elections held in October 2018. The <I>real</I>/U.S. dollar exchange
rate reported by the Brazilian Central Bank was R$4.0307 per U.S.$1.00 on December 31, 2019, which reflected a 3.9% depreciation
in the <I>real</I> against the U.S. dollar since December 31, 2018. On April 15, 2020, the <I>real</I>/U.S. dollar exchange rate
reported by the Brazilian Central Bank was R$5.2579, reflecting a depreciation of 23.3% from December 31, 2019, being strongly
affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">The Brazilian Central Bank has intervened
in the foreign exchange market in the past to attempt to control instability in foreign exchange rates. We cannot predict whether
the Brazilian Central Bank or the Brazilian government will continue to allow the <I>real</I> to float freely or will intervene
in the exchange rate market by re-implementing a currency band system or otherwise. There can be no assurance that the <I>real</I>
will not depreciate or appreciate further against the U.S. dollar and the <I>real</I> may depreciate or appreciate substantially
against the U.S. dollar in the future. Furthermore, Brazilian law provides that, whenever there is a serious imbalance in Brazil&rsquo;s
balance of payments or there are serious reasons to foresee a serious imbalance, temporary restrictions may be imposed on remittances
of foreign capital abroad. We cannot assure you that such measures will not be taken by the Brazilian government in the future.

I am being asked to vote, why are StoneCo and Linx proposing it and what will happen to Linx as a result of the Transaction?</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">On August 11, 2020, Linx and STNE Participa&ccedil;&otilde;es
S.A. (&ldquo;STNE&rdquo;), a subsidiary of StoneCo Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (&ldquo;StoneCo&rdquo;),
that holds the software investments of the group, entered into an Association and Other Covenants Agreement (the &ldquo;Original
Association Agreement&rdquo;), outlining certain transactions (collectively, the &ldquo;Transaction&rdquo;), including a corporate
reorganization as described herein. As announced on September 1, 2020, the parties amended and restated the Original Association
Agreement to revise certain terms therein (such amended and restated agreement &ldquo;the Association Agreement&rdquo;). N&eacute;rcio
Jos&eacute; Monteiro Fernandes, Alberto Menache and Alon Dayan (the &ldquo;Linx Founding Shareholders&rdquo;), StoneCo, DLP Capital
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and DLPPAR Participa&ccedil;&otilde;es S.A., a corporation (<I>sociedade por a&ccedil;&otilde;es</I>)
incorporated under the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil (together with DLP Capital LLC, &ldquo;DLP&rdquo;) acted as intervening
parties thereto. Upon the consummation of the Transactions set forth in the Association Agreement, Linx will become a wholly owned
subsidiary of STNE.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in"></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">Pursuant to the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Association Agreement, if the Merger of Shares Protocol is approved by the shareholders of Linx and
STNE, and subject to other conditions precedent as described herein, the Merger of Shares will be implemented through a merger
of shares (<I>incorpora&ccedil;&atilde;o de a&ccedil;&otilde;es</I>) under the Brazilian Corporation Law (the &ldquo;Merger of
Shares&rdquo;). Upon the occurrence of the Merger of Shares, each Linx Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the consummation
of the Transaction will be automatically contributed to STNE in exchange for one newly issued redeemable Class A preferred share
of STNE (each a &ldquo;STNE Class A Preferred Share&rdquo;) and one newly issued redeemable STNE Class B preferred share (each
a &ldquo;STNE Class B Preferred Share,&rdquo; and, together with STNE Class A Preferred Shares, the &ldquo;New STNE Shares&rdquo;).
Immediately thereafter, each STNE Class A Preferred Share will be redeemed for a cash payment of R$31.56 and each STNE Class B
Preferred Share will be redeemed for 0.0126774 StoneCo Class A Common Share (the &ldquo;Base Exchange Ratio&rdquo;). The consideration
received in exchange for redemption of STNE Class A Preferred Shares together with the consideration received from redemption of
STNE Class B Preferred Shares are referred to herein as the &ldquo;Consideration.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in"></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">The Base Exchange Ratio takes into account
the following assumptions: (i) that no declaration, payment of dividends or interest on equity by STNE or Linx will take place
until Closing; (ii) that on September 1, 2020, except for the disclosure of the quarterly results and for the material facts related
to the Transaction, there were no material facts pending disclosure to the market by Linx and/or StoneCo; (iii) that on September
1, 2020, there were 14,125,991 shares issued by Linx in treasury; (iv) that the effect of the exercise or acceleration of the total
of all of the options and restricted stock plans would result in 3,775,648 additional shares to the share capital of Linx; and
(v) that on September 1, 2020, Linx&rsquo;s corporate capital was represented by 189,408,960 common book-entry shares, nominative
and with no par value, including treasury-held shares.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">If the Transaction is completed, Linx will
become a wholly owned subsidiary of STNE and Linx will no longer be an independent, publicly traded corporation incorporated under
the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil. Based on the exchange ratios, adjustments and limitations set forth in the Association
Agreement, it is anticipated that, immediately following completion of the Transaction, former holders of Linx Common Shares will
own approximately 0.7% of StoneCo on a fully diluted basis.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">According to Brazilian tax rules, gains

treatment applicable to the contribution (<I>incorpora&ccedil;&atilde;o de a&ccedil;&otilde;es</I>) of Linx Common Shares into
STNE, as a result of the subsequent redemption of New STNE Shares, gains recognized by holders of Linx Common Shares are expected
to be subject to Brazilian income tax at different rates, depending on the nature, domicile and regime of the corresponding holder.
The rate for a Non-Brazilian Holder may generally vary from 15% to 22.5%, or may be a flat rate of 25% in case of a Non-Brazilian
Holder resident of or domiciled in a &ldquo;No Taxation or Low Taxation Jurisdiction.&rdquo; The rate for a Brazilian Holder may
vary widely, for example, from 15% to 22.5% for individuals, or 34% for Brazilian companies.</P>

than simply providing them with a solution or service. To achieve this, we created a proprietary, go-to-market approach called
the Stone Business Model, which enables us to control the client experience and ensure that interactions are provided by our people
or our technology. The Stone Business Model combines our advanced, end-to-end, cloud-based technology platform&#894; differentiated

Law, the holders of Linx Common Shares that dissent from the vote in favor of the Merger of Shares have the right to withdraw the
Linx Common Shares of which they were record holders at the close of trading on the date of the first publication of the call notice
for the Linx Special Meeting, or on the date of communication of the material relevant object of the resolution, whichever occurs
first, and request that Linx reimburse the value of those Linx Common Shares. <B>You cannot exercise these withdrawal rights if

Linx Special Meeting held to approve the Merger of Shares to enable you to receive delivery of the Linx Common Shares represented

Linx shareholders will be choosing to invest in StoneCo Class A Common Shares. Investing in StoneCo Class A Common Shares involves
risks, some of which are related to the Transaction. In considering whether to vote for the Transaction, you should carefully consider
the risks described below, as well as the other information included in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, including
the matters addressed in the section of this prospectus entitled &ldquo;Forward-Looking Statements,&rdquo; the risk factors described
in Item 3D of StoneCo&rsquo;s 2019 Form 20-F, as such risks may be updated or supplemented in StoneCo&rsquo;s subsequently filed
current reports on Form 6-K, and the risk factors described in Item 3D of Linx&rsquo;s 2019 Form 20-F, as such risks may be updated
or supplemented in Linx&rsquo;s subsequently filed current reports on Form 6-K. The business of the combined company, as well as
the respective businesses of StoneCo and Linx, as well as their respective financial condition or results of operations, could
be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. In general, investing in the securities of issuers whose operations are
located in emerging market countries such as Brazil involves a higher degree of risk than investing in the securities of U.S. companies
and companies located in other countries with more developed capital markets. </I></P>

incorporated by reference in this prospectus actually occur, alone or together with additional risks and uncertainties that we
are not currently aware of or do not currently deem material, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects
may be seriously harmed. If this were to occur, the value of our StoneCo Class A Common Shares may decline and you may lose all
or part of your investment. For information on where you can find the documents that StoneCo and Linx have filed with the SEC,

the Securities Act of the StoneCo Class A Common Shares to be issued to Linx shareholders shall have become effective, no stop
order suspending the effectiveness of the Form F-4 shall have been issued, and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been
initiated or be threatened, by the SEC. For more information, see the section of this prospectus entitled &ldquo;The Transaction

our control, we cannot assure you if the conditions to the completion of the Transaction will be satisfied in a timely manner or
whether they will be satisfied at all which may affect when and whether the Transaction will occur. In addition, there can be no
assurance that prior to the Closing of the Transaction another party does not bring a competing bid for Linx and such bid is accepted
by the shareholders of Linx. Moreover, if Linx breaches the Association Agreement, we will not have specific enforcement or other
remedies allowing us to force Closing, and our only remedy would be to receive the Fine. If the Transaction is not completed, our
share price could fall to the extent that our current price reflects an assumption that we will complete the Transaction. Furthermore,
if the Transaction is not completed and the Association Agreement is terminated, we may suffer other consequences that could adversely
affect our business, results of operations and share price, including the following:</P>

operations in the ordinary course of business and/or in the best interest of its business in view of the market
circumstances. Linx and STNE agree to refrain from committing acts that may materially affect their businesses or operations.
Linx is additionally subject to an enumerated list of further restrictions, as set forth in greater detail in &ldquo;The
Transaction Documents&mdash;The Association Agreement.&rdquo; These restrictions could prevent STNE and Linx from pursuing
attractive business opportunities that arise prior to the completion of the Transaction and are outside the ordinary course

cannot be obtained, the counterparties to these contracts may seek to terminate or otherwise materially adversely alter the terms
of such contracts with either or both parties following the Transaction, which in turn may result in StoneCo or Linx suffering
a loss of potential future revenue, incurring contractual liabilities or losing rights that are material to their respective businesses.
Further, parties with which StoneCo or Linx have business and operational relationships may experience uncertainty as to the future
of such relationships and may delay or defer certain business decisions, seek alternative relationships with third parties or seek
to alter their present business relationships with StoneCo or Linx, as applicable. Parties with whom StoneCo or Linx otherwise

Any loss or distraction of StoneCo&rsquo;s or Linx&rsquo;s customers, employees, suppliers, vendors, landlords, lenders and other
business partners, could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows
of StoneCo and Linx and could limit StoneCo&rsquo;s and Linx&rsquo;s ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Transaction.
The adverse effect of such disruptions could also be exacerbated by a delay in the completion of the Transaction or the termination

any similar or competing Transaction. For more information on the provisions in the Association Agreement relating to non-solicitation
of Competing Transactions, see the section of this prospectus entitled &ldquo;The Transaction Documents&mdash;The Association Agreement&mdash;Exclusivity.&rdquo;
These provisions could discourage a third party that may have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of either company

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">StoneCo&rsquo;s success after completion
of the Transaction will depend in part upon the ability of StoneCo to retain key employees of StoneCo and Linx. Competition for
qualified personnel can be intense. Current and prospective employees of StoneCo or Linx may experience uncertainty about the effect
of the Transaction, which may impair StoneCo&rsquo;s and Linx&rsquo;s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel prior
to and following the Transaction. Employee retention may be particularly challenging during the pendency of the Transaction, as
employees of StoneCo and Linx may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the combined company.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">In addition, if key employees of StoneCo
or Linx depart, the integration of the companies may be more difficult and the combined company&rsquo;s business following the
Transaction may be harmed. Furthermore, the combined company may have to incur significant costs in identifying, hiring, training
and retaining replacements for departing employees and may lose significant expertise and talent relating to the businesses of
StoneCo or Linx, and the combined company&rsquo;s ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Transaction may thus be adversely
affected. Furthermore, there could be disruptions to or distractions for the workforce and management associated with activities
of labor unions or works councils or integrating employees into the combined company. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that StoneCo will
be able to attract or retain key employees of StoneCo and Linx to the same extent that those companies have been able to attract
or retain their own employees in the past.</P>

premium. The plaintiff has asked the court to, among other things, suspend the Linx Special Meeting and award other Linx

prevent or delay the closing and/or result in substantial costs to StoneCo and/or Linx. Any such actions may create uncertainty

of the potentially differing interests of Linx directors and executive officers and considered them, among other matters, in reaching
its decision to approve the Association Agreement and approve the submission of the Transaction Proposal to the Linx shareholders.
The independent members of the board of directors of Linx (the &quot;Linx Independent Board Members&quot;) also considered these
facts in reaching their decision to approve the Association Agreement at a meeting of the Linx board of directors on September
1, 2020. The Linx Independent Board Members do not have any interests in the Transaction.</P>

following our acquisition of Linx, may be adversely affected by cash expenses and non-cash accounting charges incurred in connection
with our integration of the business and operations of Linx. Furthermore, as a result of the Transaction we will record a significant
amount of goodwill and other intangible assets on our consolidated financial statements, which could be subject to impairment based
upon future adverse changes in our business or prospects including our inability to recognize the benefits anticipated by the Transaction.</P>

we will assume all of Linx&rsquo;s liabilities, including unknown and contingent liabilities that Linx assumed in connection with
their acquisitions, that we failed or were unable to identify. Furthermore, Linx has additional future obligations regarding certain
of these acquisitions including outstanding earn-out obligations and put options requiring Linx to purchase additional shares in
the target company, which we will assume upon consummation of the Transaction. If we are not able to completely assess the scope
of these liabilities or if these liabilities are neither probable nor estimable at this time, our future financial results could
be adversely affected by unanticipated reserves or charges, unexpected litigation or regulatory exposure, unfavorable accounting
charges, unexpected increases in taxes due, a loss of anticipated tax benefits or other adverse effects on our business, operating
results or financial condition. The price of the StoneCo Class A Common Shares if the Transaction is consummated could decline
to the extent the combined company&rsquo;s financial results are materially affected by any of these events.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">StoneCo and Linx have incurred and expect
to incur a number of non-recurring direct and indirect costs associated with the Transaction. These costs and expenses include
fees paid to financial, legal, accounting and other advisors, severance and other potential employment-related costs, including
payments that may be made to certain StoneCo and Linx executives, filing fees, printing expenses and other related charges. Some
of these costs are payable by StoneCo and Linx regardless of whether the Transaction is completed. There are also processes, policies,
procedures, operations, technologies and systems that must be integrated in connection with the Transaction and the integration
of the two companies&rsquo; businesses. While both StoneCo and Linx have assumed that a certain level of expenses would be incurred
in connection with the Transaction and continue to assess the magnitude of these costs, there are many factors beyond their control
that could affect the total amount or the timing of such expenses.</P>

significant costs in connection with the Transaction that StoneCo and Linx may not recover. These costs and expenses could reduce
the realization of efficiencies and strategic benefits StoneCo and Linx expect StoneCo to achieve from the Transaction. Although
StoneCo and Linx expect that these benefits will offset the transaction expenses and implementation costs over time, this net benefit
may not be achieved in the near term or at all.</P>

directly affecting the cash portion of the Consideration or indirectly affecting the price of StoneCo Class A Common Shares. As
the exchange rate of the <I>real</I> and the U.S. dollar fluctuates, the implied value of the Consideration will fluctuate too.
As a result, the implied value of the Consideration that you will receive upon the completion of the Transaction could be greater
than, less than or the same as the implied value of the Consideration in U.S. dollars on the date of this prospectus or at the
time of the Linx Special Meeting. See also &ldquo;Risk Factors&mdash;Risks Relating to Brazil and the Other Countries in Which

could be materially and adversely affected by the risks (or the public perception of the risks) related to an epidemic, pandemic,

COVID-19 pandemic, which originated in late 2019 and was later declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020,
has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted supply chains and created significant volatility in global financial markets.
Reflecting this, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused the levels of equity and other financial markets to decline sharply and to become
volatile in February, March and April 2020, and the market volatility resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic has
already caused a number of planned public stock offerings and merger and acquisition transactions in Brazil to be postponed or
cancelled.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">U.S. shareholders of passive foreign investment
companies are subject to potentially adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences. In general, a non-U.S. corporation is a passive
foreign investment company, or PFIC, for any taxable year in which (i) 75% or more of its gross income consists of passive income;
or (ii) 50% or more of the average quarterly value of its assets consists of assets that produce, or are held for the production
of, passive income. For purposes of the above calculations, a non-U.S. corporation that owns, directly or indirectly, at least
25% by value of the shares of another corporation is treated as if it held its proportionate share of the assets of the other
corporation and received directly its proportionate share of the income of the other corporation. Based on the expected composition
of our income and assets, including goodwill, we do not believe that we currently are a PFIC. However, our PFIC status is a factual
determination that is made on an annual basis. Because our PFIC status for any taxable year will depend on the manner in which
we operate our business, the composition of our income and assets and the value of our assets from time to time (including, following
the Transaction, the income and assets of Linx), there can be no assurance that we will not be a PFIC for any taxable year. If
we are a PFIC, U.S. shareholders would be subject to certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences as discussed under &ldquo;Material
Tax Considerations&mdash;U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.&rdquo; In particular, although we consider ourselves to be actively
engaged in an active business, it is not entirely clear how certain of our income will be treated for purposes of the PFIC rules.
Certain of our income may be treated as passive income, unless such income is eligible for an exception for income derived in
the active conduct of a financing business under Section 954(h) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &ldquo;Active
Financing Exception&rdquo;), and related assets may be considered passive assets unless the Active Financing Exception applies.
We believe that the Active Financing Exception, as interpreted by recently proposed Treasury regulations (the &ldquo;Proposed
Regulations&rdquo;), should apply to treat such income and related assets as active, but such treatment is not certain and, in
particular, it is not certain how the Active Financing Exception will apply to our assets and income following the Transaction.
Moreover, while the Proposed Regulations permit taxpayers to rely on them, it is possible that the U.S. Department of the Treasury
(&ldquo;Treasury Department&rdquo;) will not follow the approach of the Proposed Regulations when issuing final regulations, in
which case the Active Financing Exception might not apply to our income and it is possible that we could be treated as a PFIC.</P>

DLP entered into that certain Voting Commitment and Assumption of Obligations (the &ldquo;Voting Agreement&rdquo;) with Linx
and the Linx Founding Shareholders, whereby the parties to the Voting Agreement undertook, as limited by the Brazilian Law
No. 6.404/76, as amended (the &ldquo;Brazilian Corporation Law&rdquo;), obligations to implement the Transaction, including
by binding their shares to vote in favor of the corporate resolutions necessary for the approval, closing and implementation
of the Transaction. Linx and STNE acted as intervening parties in the Voting Agreement. The Voting Agreement also indicates
that if, at the Linx Special Meeting regarding the Transaction, a sufficient approval quorum is reached for the approval of
matters related to the Transaction, considering the favorable vote of other Linx shareholders, Linx Founding Shareholders are
free to vote in favor or abstain from voting, according to their convenience, to the extent that, in this case, the
calculation of the Linx Founding Shareholders&rsquo; votes does not affect the effective approval of the Transaction. In any
event, the voting obligations of Linx Founding Shareholders established in the Voting Agreement will be subject to legal
impediments and may not violate CVM and Novo Mercado Rules. The Linx Founding Shareholders party to the Voting Agreement
held, as of the date thereof, 13.92% of the issued share capital of Linx. In order to approve the Transaction Proposal
(as defined herein), holders of at least the majority of Linx Shares must vote in favor of the Transaction. For more

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">Ownership of a Linx ADS does not entitle
the holder to attend the Linx Special Meeting. A Linx ADS Owner wishing to do so must surrender its Linx ADSs and obtain delivery
of the underlying Linx Common Shares, registered in the name of that Linx ADS Owner, before the meeting. To do so, the holder you
must (1)&nbsp;surrender to The Bank of New York Mellon, as Linx Depositary,
at 240 Greenwich Street, New York, NY 10286, the Linx ADSs representing Linx Common Shares that the holder wishes to withdraw,
(2)&nbsp;pay a fee to the Linx Depositary in the amount of up to U.S.$0.05 per Linx ADS for the cancellation of those Linx ADSs,
and (3)&nbsp;pay any taxes or governmental charges payable in connection with the holder&rsquo;s withdrawal of the Linx Common
Shares from the Linx ADS program, among other fees. If a holder surrenders Linx ADSs and receives Linx Common Shares, the Linx
Common Shares so received will be registered at the clearing and settlement chamber of the B3, and the holder will need to obtain
your its foreign investor registration under Resolution No.&nbsp;4,373 of the National Monetary Council, or Resolution 4,373.
The holder will need to take these steps in sufficient time to allow its ownership of the Linx Common Shares to be reflected in
the shareholder list that Linx will use to determine holders of Linx Common Shares that are permitted to attend the Linx Special
Meeting.</P>

Once the 30-day period for the exercise of your withdrawal rights has expired, you will no longer have any right to compel Linx

with the CVM (a &ldquo;Material Fact&rdquo;) related to the approval of the Merger of Shares, will be published in the newspapers

into the Association Agreement, outlining the Transaction, including a corporate reorganization as described herein. On September
1, 2020, the parties amended and restated the Original Association Agreement to revise certain terms therein, including increasing
the cash portion of the Consideration and lowering the amount payable for a Fine (as defined herein). The Linx Founding Shareholders,
StoneCo and DLP acted as intervening parties thereto. Upon the consummation of a series of transactions set forth in the Association
Agreement, Linx will become a wholly owned subsidiary of STNE.</P>

conditions set forth in the Association Agreement, each Linx Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the consummation
of the Transaction will be automatically contributed to STNE in exchange for one newly issued redeemable STNE Class A Preferred
Share and one newly issued redeemable STNE Class B Preferred Share. Immediately thereafter, each STNE Class A Preferred Share will
be redeemed for a cash payment of R$31.56 and each STNE Class B Preferred Share will be redeemed for 0.0126774 StoneCo Class A
Common Share(the &ldquo;Base Exchange Ratio&rdquo;).</P>

the following assumptions: (i) that no declaration, payment of dividends or interest on equity by STNE or Linx will take place
until Closing; (ii) that on September 1, 2020, except for the disclosure of the quarterly results and for the material facts related
to the Transaction, there were no material facts pending disclosure to the market by Linx and/or StoneCo; (iii) that on September
1, 2020, there were 14,125,991 shares issued by Linx in treasury; (iv) that the effect of the exercise or acceleration of the total
of all of the options and restricted stock plans would result in 3,775,648 additional shares to the share capital of Linx; and
(v) that on September 1, 2020, Linx&rsquo;s corporate capital was represented by 189,408,960 common book-entry shares, nominative
and with no par value, including treasury-held shares.</P>

of outstanding shares of STNE will be increased by the number of New STNE Shares. The New STNE Shares will have the rights and
benefits attributed to them under the terms of the STNE bylaws. The New STNE Shares will not have the right to vote, will have
priority in the capital reimbursement in case of liquidation, without a premium, and will be automatically redeemed at the Closing,
without a special meeting being held for such purpose. After the Closing date, any fractional StoneCo Class A Common Shares issued
by StoneCo will be grouped into whole numbers and sold on the open market managed by the Nasdaq. The net proceeds from the sale
of the fractional shares will be distributed on a pro rata basis to the former Linx shareholders who held fractional StoneCo Class
A Common Shares. No additional consideration in cash or in kind will be paid by StoneCo and/or STNE to Linx shareholders in connection
with the Transaction. The consideration payable to holders of Linx Shares will be paid on the Closing date.</P>

become a wholly owned subsidiary of STNE and Linx will no longer be an independent, publicly traded corporation incorporated under
the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil. Based on the exchange ratios, adjustments and limitations set forth in the Association
Agreement, it is anticipated that, immediately following completion of the Transaction, former holders of Linx Common Shares will
own approximately 0.7% of StoneCo on a fully diluted basis.</P>

with StoneCo&rsquo;s management and with the assistance of StoneCo&rsquo;s legal, financial and other strategic advisors, has periodically
reviewed and considered various strategic opportunities available to StoneCo and ways to enhance shareholder value and StoneCo&rsquo;s
performance and prospects. These reviews have included consideration of mergers, acquisitions and other business combinations.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">As part of those strategic
discussions, around November, 2018, StoneCo decided to approach the Linx Founding Shareholders regarding a potential business
combination transaction with Linx that StoneCo believed would generate substantial synergies in the payments market, enhance
completeness of service to customers, and generally increase the combined companies&rsquo; competitiveness in the global
markets. In around early December, 2018, representatives of StoneCo initiated contact with representatives of the Linx
Founding Shareholders to present a verbal, indicative, non-binding offer to merge Linx into StoneCo, or a subsidiary thereof,
in exchange for a combination of cash and shares of StoneCo. The Linx Founding Shareholders and StoneCo agreed to execute a
non-disclosure agreement, on December 4, 2018 (&ldquo;NDA&rdquo;), in order to pursue the potential transaction discussions.
These discussions only considered possible high level financial terms of a transaction and the parties involved agreed that
any discussion of non-financial terms would require the participation of counsel for the parties to determine the most
effective structure for such a potential transaction. However, these discussions did not proceed beyond these preliminary
stages and discussions were terminated.</P>

internal discussion and review regarding a potential transaction with Linx. Representatives of StoneCo made preliminary contact
with representatives of Linx at the end of June, 2020 to explore the possibility of opening discussions about a possible business
combination transaction. On July 14, 2020, the parties agreed to an extension of the term of the NDA. During the course of July,
2020, StoneCo engaged in a series of further internal discussions, including review and discussion with its financial and legal
advisors, in order to consider and explore the parameters of a possible proposal to Linx, the results of which were presented to
and discussed with the board of directors of StoneCo around  August 1, 2020.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">On August 3, 2020, representatives
of StoneCo submitted a written proposal with respect to a potential merger transaction whereby Linx shareholders would be
entitled to receive aggregate consideration in the amount of R$33.00 per Linx Share at Closing, comprising 65% in shares of
StoneCo and 35% in cash, assuming 176.8 million shares of Linx on a fully diluted basis, net of treasury shares.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">Following initial feedback from Linx that
the overall consideration did not provide sufficient value to Linx shareholders, on August 6, 2020, StoneCo
provided Linx with a revised proposal at an increased aggregate price per Linx Share of R$34.00 comprising 50% in shares of
StoneCo and 50% in cash, assuming 176.8 million shares of Linx on a fully diluted basis, net of treasury shares.</P>

on August 14, 2020, TOTVS S.A. (&ldquo;TOTVS&rdquo;) publicly announced a high level and indicative unsolicited proposal
to Linx to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of Linx through a stock and cash merger (the &ldquo;TOTVS Proposal&rdquo;). The
TOTVS Proposal provides that Linx shareholders will receive, for each Linx Share they hold, (i) one share of TOTVS common stock
and (ii) R$6.20 in cash.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">Following disclosure of the TOTVS Proposal,
and in response to suggestions received from certain Linx shareholders, commencing on August 28, 2020 the Linx Independent Board
Members, Linx Founding Shareholders and StoneCo and its representatives engaged in a series of discussions and negotiations (i)
with respect to the terms of the Original Association Agreement, solely with Linx Independent Board Members and their representatives,
and (ii) with respect to the terms of the Original Executive Engagement Agreement and the Original Non-Compete Agreements, solely
with the Linx Founding Shareholders and their respective representatives. As a result of these discussions and negotiations, StoneCo,
STNE, DLP, Linx and the Linx Founding Shareholders entered into an amended and restated Association Agreement, which provided for
an increase in the cash component of the Consideration such that each STNE Class A Preferred Share will be redeemed for a cash
payment of R$31.56, while each STNE Class B Preferred Share will still be redeemed for 0.0126774 StoneCo Class A Common Shares,
increasing the total Consideration to R$35.10 per share, based on StoneCo's closing share price as of August 31, 2020, a premium
of 47% to Linx's unaffected 60-day VWAP. The amendment to the Association Agreement also resulted in a reduction to (i) the Fine
to R$453,750,000, and (ii) the amount that Linx will be obliged to pay StoneCo in the event that the Linx Special Meeting is not
held or any item is not approved at the Linx Special Meeting and such non-approval prevents the consummation of the Transaction,
to R$112,500,000. In addition, the applicable parties entered into an amendment to the terms of the Original Executive Engagement
Agreement, reducing the term of the agreement and removing any share based remuneration from the agreement, and amendments to the
terms of the Original Non-Competition Agreements extending the term of the non-compete obligations and reducing the aggregate consideration
payable under the terms of those agreements and extending the applicable vesting terms.</P>

on August 9, 2020, the StoneCo board of directors unanimously approved the Association Agreement and the Transaction. In doing
so, the StoneCo board of directors considered the business, assets, liabilities, results of operations, financial performance,
strategic direction and prospects of Linx and StoneCo. In evaluating the Transaction, the StoneCo board of directors consulted
with and received the advice of StoneCo&rsquo;s management, who carefully evaluated the Transaction in several dimensions, such
as strategic complementarity, value creation potential and synergy opportunities, among others.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">We believe the business combination of
STNE and Linx will help accelerate StoneCo&rsquo;s strategic roadmap and achieve its mission of empowering Brazilian merchants
of all sizes to manage their businesses more effectively through technology and superior service. The acquisition is expected to
generate value to Linx&rsquo;s and StoneCo&rsquo;s clients and create shareholder value by:</P>

itself as (1) an integrated provider of payments and financial services for SMBs, through our Acquiring, Banking &amp; Credit,
or ABC, platform and (2) a full stack digital payments solution for online merchants, marketplaces, wallets and sub acquirers,
through our Pagar.me and Mundipagg platforms. More recently, StoneCo has advanced in its strategy to become an integrated provider
of software and payments for SMBs by investing in a modern ecosystem of software solutions in different market segments, and helping
our clients to digitalize their offline operations by offering complementary solutions such as food delivery, digital media, and
online marketplace integration.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">We have deployed this strategy by (1) offering
software solutions through our own distribution channels, (2) investing and acquiring software companies with great people, scalable
technology, and their own distribution channels, and (3) promoting StoneCo&rsquo;s model and culture of client-centricity to help
our software partners and investments put clients at the center of all their product design, processes and operations. StoneCo
has invested in or acquired 11 software companies, in different
verticals and horizontals such as food, food delivery, beauty salons, general retail, customer relationship management and digital
media. As a result of this strategy, StoneCo has grown its subscribed software clients to approximately 305,000 as of July 2020,
an increase of approximately 100% compared to the first quarter of 2020.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">We analyzed potential synergies which will
result from the acquisition and believe there are several opportunities for value creation both on the revenues as well as on the
cost side. On the revenue side, StoneCo has the opportunity to penetrate Linx&acute;s client base with financial products, including
its payments services through StoneCo&rsquo;s proprietary end-to-end platform and banking services leveraging on StoneCo&rsquo;s
proprietary API driven banking platform. Additionally, StoneCo could utilize Linx&acute;s know-how and existing software offerings
to develop new solutions to SMB clients, including omnichannel and online-to-offline products to digitize these merchants. In terms
of cost synergies, we will leverage existing research and development to create combined solutions for merchants of all sizes,
streamline general and administrative expenses and improve our negotiation power with suppliers and third-party providers. Our
internal assessment of the synergies expected from the Transaction is ongoing, and no assurances can be given that such estimates

the most attractive transaction for Linx clients and employees, through the combination of StoneCo&rsquo;s model and culture of

on the one hand, and (2) the payment services sector led by large, vertically integrated financial groups, on the other hand. We
stand out as an independent player that has stimulated the competitive dynamics of the payment solutions sector. As a result, the
Transaction is expected to generate important synergies for the digital commerce evolution in Brazil.</P>

conditions set forth in the Association Agreement, each Linx Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the consummation
of the Transaction will be automatically contributed to STNE in exchange for one newly issued redeemable STNE Class A Preferred
Share and one newly issued redeemable STNE Class B Preferred Share. Immediately thereafter, each STNE Class A Preferred Share will
be redeemed for a cash payment of R$31.56 and each STNE Class B Preferred Share will be redeemed for 0.0126774 StoneCo Class A
Common Share (the &ldquo;Base Exchange Ratio&rdquo;). The Base Exchange Ratio is calculated on a fully diluted basis, assuming
a number of fully-diluted shares of Linx of 179,058,617, and represents a total consideration of R$35.10 for each Linx Share, considering
the share price of the StoneCo Shares as of August 31, 2020.</P>

the following assumptions: (i) that no declaration, payment of dividends or interest on equity by STNE or Linx will take place
until Closing; (ii) that on September 1, 2020, except for the disclosure of the quarterly results and for the material facts related
to the Transaction, there were no material facts pending disclosure to the market by Linx and/or StoneCo; (iii) that on September
1, 2020, there were 14,125,991 shares issued by Linx in treasury; (iv) that the effect of the exercise or acceleration of the total
of all of the options and restricted stock plans would result in 3,775,648 additional shares to the share capital of Linx; and
(v) that on September 1, 2020, Linx&rsquo;s corporate capital was represented by 189,408,960 common book-entry shares, nominative

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 6.6pt 0pt 0; text-indent: 19.1pt">For U.S. federal income tax purposes,
a U.S. Holder of Linx Shares will be treated as transferring its Linx Shares to STNE in exchange for the Consideration in a taxable
transaction. Accordingly, such U.S. Holder will generally recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount
equal to the difference between the amount realized on the exchange and its tax basis in the Linx Shares exchanged, in each case,
determined in U.S. dollars. The amount realized on the exchange will be the fair market value of any StoneCo Class A Common Shares
received on the date of exchange, as determined in U.S. dollars, and/or the cash received with respect to the Linx Shares exchanged.</P>

must be calculated separately for each block of Linx Shares exchanged. Based on Linx&rsquo;s public filings, StoneCo believes that
Linx has not been a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming that Linx is not
and has not been a PFIC, gain or loss realized in the exchange generally will be capital gain or loss and generally will be long-term
capital gain or loss if the Linx Shares exchanged have been held for more than one year. This gain or loss will generally be U.S.-source
gain or loss for foreign tax credit purposes.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 6.6pt 0pt 0; text-indent: 19.1pt">Brazilian taxes that may be imposed
upon the receipt of the Consideration pursuant to the Transaction will generally be treated as income taxes eligible for a credit
against a U.S. Holder&rsquo;s U.S. federal income tax liability. A U.S. Holder will be entitled to use these foreign tax credits
to offset only the portion of its U.S. tax liability that is attributable to foreign-source income. This limitation on foreign
taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with regard to specific classes of income. Because a U.S. Holder&rsquo;s gain
from the receipt of the Consideration will generally be treated as U.S.-source income, this limitation may preclude such holder
from claiming a credit for all or a portion of the taxes imposed on this gain. U.S. Holders exchanging Linx Shares for the Consideration
should consult their tax advisors as to whether these Brazilian taxes may be creditable against their U.S. federal income tax liability.
Instead of claiming a credit, a U.S. Holder may, upon election, deduct otherwise creditable Brazilian income taxes in computing
its taxable income, subject to generally applicable limitations. An election to deduct foreign taxes instead of claiming foreign
tax credits applies to all foreign taxes paid or accrued in the taxable year. The rules governing foreign tax credits are complex
and U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors to determine whether they are subject to any special rules that limit their
ability to make effective use of foreign tax credits.</P>

realized will be the U.S. dollar value of the <I>reais </I>calculated by reference to the spot rate on the date of the exchange
(or, if the Linx Shares are traded on an established securities market at such time, in the case of cash basis and electing accrual
basis U.S. Holders, the settlement date). If a U.S. Holder is an accrual basis taxpayer and does not elect to determine the amount
realized using the spot exchange rate on the settlement date, such holder will recognize foreign currency gain or loss equal to
the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the amount received based on the spot exchange rates in effect on the date of the
exchange and the settlement date. U.S. Holders will have a tax basis in the <I>reais </I>received equal to the U.S. dollar value
of the <I>reais </I>received at the spot rate on the settlement date. Any currency gain or loss realized on the settlement date
or the subsequent sale, conversion, or other disposition (including, in the case of Linx ADSs, a conversion by the depositary)
of the <I>reais </I>received for a different U.S. dollar amount generally will be U.S.-source ordinary income or loss, and will
not be eligible for the reduced tax rate applicable to long-term capital gains. If an accrual basis U.S. Holder does make the election
described in the first sentence of this paragraph, it must be applied consistently from year to year and cannot be revoked without
the consent of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the &ldquo;<U>IRS</U>&rdquo;). U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors
regarding the treatment of any foreign currency gain or loss realized with respect to <I>reais </I>received in exchange for Linx

taxpayer identification number and certifies that it is not subject to backup withholding. The amount of any backup withholding
will be allowed as a credit against

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">Based on the composition of our income
and assets, the value of our assets, and the Proposed Regulations, we do not believe we were a PFIC for our 2019 taxable year,
and we do not expect to be a PFIC for our current taxable year. However, because our PFIC status for any taxable year can be determined
only after the end of such taxable year and will depend on the composition of our income and assets and the market value of our
assets from time to time (including, following the Transaction, the income and assets of Linx), and because there is no guarantee
that the Proposed Regulations will be adopted in their current form, there can be no assurance that we will not be a PFIC for our
current taxable year or any future year and, in particular, it is not certain how the Active Financing Exception will apply to
our assets and income following the Transaction. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with our conclusion.
In particular, although we consider ourselves to be actively engaged in an active business, it is not entirely clear how certain
of our income will be treated for purposes of the PFIC rules. Certain of our income may be treated as passive income, unless such
income is eligible for the Active Financing Exception, and related assets may be considered passive assets unless the Active Financing
Exception applies. We believe that the Active Financing Exception, as interpreted by the Proposed Regulations, should apply to
treat such income and related assets as active, but such treatment is not certain. Moreover, the Treasury Department has specifically
requested comments regarding the continued applicability of the Active Financing Exception in the PFIC context once the corollary
exception under the PFIC rules for licensed banks is finalized, While the Proposed Regulations permit taxpayers to rely on them,
it is possible that the Treasury Department will not follow the approach of the Proposed Regulations when issuing final regulations,
in which case the Active Financing Exception might not apply to our income and it is possible that we could be treated as a PFIC.
If we were a PFIC for any year during which a U.S. Holder holds StoneCo Class A <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">Common
Shares</FONT>, we generally would continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such U.S. Holder for all succeeding years during
which it holds the StoneCo Class A Common Shares, even if we ceased to meet the threshold requirements for PFIC status.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">We have entered into a shareholders agreement
(or the Shareholders Agreement), with our founder shareholders. Among other things, the Shareholders Agreement provides our founder
shareholders with the right to nominate a certain number of directors based on the aggregate voting power of the shares of our
outstanding share capital held by them, so long as our founder shareholders own at least 5% of the voting power of our outstanding
share capital.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">The Shareholders Agreement provides that,
subject to compliance with applicable law and Nasdaq rules, for so long as our founder shareholders and their affiliates beneficially
own shares comprising at least 25% of the voting power of our outstanding share capital, they shall collectively be entitled to
designate up to three nominees to our board of directors (or if the size of the board of directors is increased, a majority of
the members of the board of directors); for so long as our founder shareholders and their affiliates beneficially own at least
10% of the voting power of our outstanding share capital, they shall collectively be entitled to designate up to two nominees to
our board of directors (or if the size of the board of directors is increased, 25% of the members of the board of directors); and
for so long as our founder shareholders and their affiliates beneficially own at least 5% of the voting power of our outstanding

provides that for so long as our founder shareholders and their affiliates own at least 10% of the voting power of our outstanding
share capital, our founder shareholders will have the right to cause each of the compensation committee, the audit committee and
the finance committee of our board of directors to include in its membership the pro rata share of the total number of members
of each committee that is equal to the proportion that the number of directors that our founder shareholders are entitled to designate
bears to the total number of directors on our board of directors, except to the extent that such membership would violate applicable

that for so long as founder shareholders own at least 15% of the voting power of our common shares then outstanding, we agree not
to take, or permit our subsidiaries to take, certain actions, such as incurring indebtedness in excess of our net equity, entering
into a transaction that would result in a Change of Control (as defined therein), entering into a merger, consolidation, reorganization
or other business combination, taking any steps to liquidate or declare bankruptcy or insolvency, issue any capital shares other
than pursuant to <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">StoneCo&rsquo;s 2018 omnibus equity plan</FONT>, acquire or dispose of assets
in excess of 20% of our fair market value, or approve any annual compensation
of officers and directors, without the approval of our founder shareholders. Additionally, for as long as our founder shareholders
and their affiliates hold at least 5% of the total voting power of our outstanding share capital, our founder shareholders and
their designated representatives will have certain information and access rights to our management. Finally, the Shareholders Agreement
provides that from and after the date on which our founder shareholders no longer collectively beneficially own more than 50% of
the voting power of our outstanding share capital, we will cause the board of directors to be divided into three classes of directors,
whose members will serve for staggered terms as set forth in the StoneCo Articles of Association.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">StoneCo is registered under the laws of
the Cayman Islands as an exempted company with limited liability. StoneCo is registered in the Cayman Islands because of certain
benefits associated with being a Cayman Islands company, such as political and economic stability, an effective judicial system,
a favorable tax system, the absence of foreign exchange control or currency restrictions and the availability of professional and
support services. However, the Cayman Islands have a less prescriptive body of securities laws as compared to the United States
and provide protections for investors to a significantly lesser extent. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing
to sue before the federal courts of the United States. Maples and Calder, StoneCo&rsquo;s counsel as to Cayman Islands law, and
Mattos Filho, Veiga Filho, Marrey Jr. e Quiroga Advogados, StoneCo&rsquo;s counsel as to Brazilian law, have advised that there
is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands or Brazil would, respectively, (1) recognize or enforce judgments
of United States courts obtained against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the
securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States, or (2) entertain original actions brought in the Cayman
Islands or Brazil against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state
in the United States.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">StoneCo&rsquo;s Cayman Islands counsel
has informed us that the uncertainty with regards to Cayman Islands law relates to whether a judgment obtained from the United
States courts under civil liability provisions of the securities laws will be determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands as
penal or punitive in nature. If such a determination is made, the courts of the Cayman Islands will not recognize or enforce the
judgment against a Cayman Islands&rsquo; company. Because the courts of the Cayman Islands have yet to rule on whether such judgments
are penal or punitive in nature, it is uncertain whether they would be enforceable in the Cayman Islands.</P>

has further advised us that a final and conclusive judgment in the federal or state courts of the United States under which a sum
of money is payable, other than a sum payable in respect of taxes, fines, penalties or similar charges, may be subject to enforcement
proceedings as a debt in the courts of the Cayman Islands under the common law doctrine of obligation.</P>

are located outside the United States, in Brazil. In addition, all of the members of StoneCo&rsquo;s board of directors and all
of its officers are residents of Brazil and all or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States.
As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us or these persons,
or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability
provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States, any state in the United States or other jurisdiction outside Brazil.</P>

the Brazilian Court of Justice may be time consuming and may also give rise to difficulties in enforcing such foreign judgment
in Brazil. Accordingly, StoneCo cannot assure you that judicial recognition of a foreign judgment would be successful, that the
judicial recognition process would be conducted in a timely manner or that a Brazilian court would enforce a judgment of countries
other than Brazil. Upon its recognition by the STJ, the enforcement of the judgment is delegated to a lower federal court.</P>

before the competent federal court, at the request of the interested party and in accordance with Brazilian norms. This can also

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in"><B><I>(2) A claim filed in Brazil</I></B><I>:</I>
StoneCo believes that original actions may be brought in connection with this offering predicated on the federal securities laws
of the United States in Brazilian courts and that, subject to applicable Brazilian laws and provided that Brazilian courts can
assert jurisdiction over the particular lawsuit, Brazilian courts may enforce liabilities in such actions against us or the members
of our board of directors or our executive officers and certain advisors. The application of a foreign body of law by Brazilian
courts may be troublesome, as Brazilian courts consistently base their decisions on domestic law, or refrain from applying a foreign
body of law for a number of reasons. Although remote, there is a risk that Brazilian courts, considering relevant case-by-case
rationale, may dismiss a petition to apply a foreign body of law and may adopt Brazilian laws to adjudicate the case. In any case,
we cannot assure that Brazilian courts will confirm their jurisdiction to rule on such matter, which will depend on the connection
of the case to Brazil and, therefore, must be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.</P>

own real property in Brazil, must post a bond to guarantee the payment of the defendant&rsquo;s legal fees and court expenses in
connection with court procedures for the collection of money, except in the case of (1) enforcement on an extrajudicial enforcement
instrument (a title that shall be enforced in Brazilian courts without a review on the merits and enables the creditor with the
possibility of immediate attachment of assets, or <I>titulo executivo extrajudicial</I>),; (2) enforcement of an award; (3) counterclaims;
and (4) an exemption is provided by an international agreement or treaty to which Brazil is a signatory, as set forth under Article

                                         of title to shares and this register would not record a third party interest in such

                                         made to a Cayman Islands court for a determination on whether the register of members
                                         reflects the correct legal position. Further, the Cayman Islands court has the power
                                         to order that the register of members maintained by a company should be rectified where
                                         it considers that the register of members does not reflect the correct legal position.
                                         As far as we are aware, such applications are rarely made in the Cayman Islands and there

                                         of the register of members of the Company, but if such an application were made in respect
                                         of the Shares, then the validity of such shares may be subject to re-examination by a
