This 6-K details a significant internal restructuring of XP Control LLC, the entity that controls XP Inc. The realignment involves two senior executives, Thiago Maffra and José Berenguer, becoming voting interest holders, while three individuals, Bruno Constantino Alexandre dos Santos, Bernardo Amaral Botelho, and Gabriel Klas da Rocha Leal, cease to be partners of ControlCo. Although the beneficial ownership of Class A common shares held by ControlCo will decrease to 18% due to the exchange of interests for cash and Class A shares, ControlCo will maintain at least 69% of XP's voting power, with Guilherme Dias Fernandes Benchimol remaining the majority unitholder. This move is presented as a strategic evolution to enhance governance and ensure long-term stability, with the exiting partners retaining their Board of Directors roles. Investors should monitor the impact of the Class A share issuance on overall dilution, though the company emphasizes stability.
