and on the SEC’s website at https://www.sec.gov and mailed to our shareholders our proxy materials, including our proxy statement,
the notice to shareholders of our AGM and the proxy card, along with instructions on how to vote using the proxy card provided therewith.
Record Date,
Share Ownership and Quorum
Only the holders
of record of Class A ordinary shares (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) and Class B ordinary shares (the “Class
B Ordinary Shares” and together with the Class A Ordinary Shares, the “Ordinary Shares”) of the Company as
at the close of business on July 5, 2024 (Brasilia time (UTC-3)) (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 it is registered as a shareholder
of the Company on the Record Date for the AGM.
As of the close
of business on the Record Date, 4,789,323,508 Ordinary Shares were issued and outstanding, including 3,706,856,366 Class A Ordinary Shares
and 1,082,467,142 Class B Ordinary Shares. One or more shareholders holding not less than a majority in aggregate of all 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 Ordinary
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 Ordinary
Share issued and outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date is entitled to twenty votes at the AGM. The resolutions to
be put to the vote at the AGM will 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 Ordinary Shares
Ordinary 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 favour 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 Ordinary Shares affirmatively abstains from voting on any particular resolution, the votes attaching to such Ordinary Shares
will not be included or counted in the determination of the number of Ordinary 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).
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., Eastern
time, on August 12, 2024 to ensure your representation at our
The manner in which
your shares may be voted depends on how your shares are held. If you own shares of record, meaning that your 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, this proxy statement, the notice of AGM and the proxy card will be
mailed to you by Computershare. You may provide voting instructions by returning a proxy card. You also may attend the AGM and vote in
person. If you own Ordinary Shares of record and you do not vote by proxy or in person at the Annual Meeting, your shares will not be
voted.
If you own shares
in street name (i.e., you are a street shareholder), meaning that your shares are held by a bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee, you
are then considered the “beneficial owner” of 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 shares. You may
provide voting instructions to them directly by returning a voting instruction form received from that institution. If you own Ordinary
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 shares in order to vote your shares at the meeting and present your voting information card.
Revocability
of Proxies

our Investor Relations Department at investors@nubank.com.br, 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 Ordinary Shares in
street name may revoke or change voting instructions by contacting the bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee holding the shares or by
obtaining a legal proxy from such institution and voting in person at the AGM. If you are not planning to attend in person our AGM,
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., Eastern time, on August 12, 2024.
