PicPay Gets Final Nod to Acquire Kovr, Closing Imminent

Summary
PicPay, the key subsidiary of PicS N.V., received final regulatory approval from Brazil's Central Bank to acquire insurtech Kovr. This clears the last hurdle for the deal to close. The acquisition expands PicPay's financial services ecosystem into insurance, a strategic move amid recent legal headwinds. The approval follows a 6-K filed earlier today disclosing the same event. With the regulatory green light, closing is expected shortly, adding a new revenue stream.
