If you are aware of Insider Information related to VTEX, you may not directly, or indirectly through Family Members or other persons or entities:
Engage in transactions in VTEX securities, except as otherwise specified in this Policy under the headings “Transactions Under Company Plans,” “Transactions Not Involving a Purchase or Sale” and “Rules and Guidelines for Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans”;
Recommend the purchase or sale of any VTEX securities;
Disclose Insider Information (e.g. “tipping”) to persons within the Company whose jobs do not require them to have that information, or outside of the Company to other persons, including, but not limited to, family, friends, business associates, investors, and expert consulting firms, unless any such disclosure is made in accordance with the Company’s policies regarding the protection and authorized external disclosure of information regarding the Company; or
Assist anyone engaged in the above activities.
Insider Information means information that is both material and nonpublic (as explained in section 2). These prohibitions apply even if the transaction in question was planned or initiated before you learned of Insider Information. Note that bona fide gifts of VTEX securities are considered transactions subject to the restrictions in this Policy.
In addition, if in the course of working for the Company you learn of Insider Information about a company with which VTEX does business, including a customer or supplier of the Company, you may not trade in that company’s securities until the information becomes public or is no longer material.
Under this Policy, VTEX cannot make exceptions even for transactions that may seem necessary or
justifiable for personal reasons (such as the need to raise money for an emergency expenditure), or small transactions. Insider trading is transaction-specific, and the securities laws do not recognize any mitigating circumstances; in any event, the mere appearance of an improper transaction may harm VTEX’s reputation as a company that adheres to the highest standards of conduct.
3.1Responding to Outside Inquiries for Information
VTEX employees may not answer inquiries of stock analysts concerning VTEX securities or provide general market or industry observations to stock analysts or researchers. Material non-public information about VTEX or its business partners is the property of VTEX, and unauthorized disclosure or use of that information is prohibited. In the event you receive an inquiry from someone outside of the Company, such as a stock analyst, you should refer the inquiry to VTEX’s Investor Relations Department. The Company has as policy avoiding the selective disclosure of material, nonpublic information.
3.2Transactions by Family Members and Others
As a VTEX employee, director, officer, associate or consultant of VTEX or its subsidiaries, this policy applies to you. The same restrictions that apply to you apply to your family members who reside with you, anyone else who lives in your household, and any family members who do not live in your household but whose transactions in VTEX securities are directed by you or are subject to your influence or control (such as parents or children who consult with you before they trade in VTEX securities). You are responsible for making sure that any transaction in securities covered by this policy by any of these people complies with this policy.
