Zenvia announced the successful renegotiation of its remaining payments linked to the SenseData acquisition. Shay Chor, Zenvia’s CFO, stated: "With this agreement with SenseData, we close the year with all earn out payments extended, positively impacting our funding gap and significantly reducing payments until the end of 2023. This allows us to focus on our profitability path and improving the company’s capital structure while maximizing cashflow." The payment of R$23.7M, due at the end of December 2022, was reduced to R$18M, with the remaining amount to be paid in 12 fixed installments over 2023, and subject to accrued interests in line with Zenvia’s current bank financing costs. Also, for 2023, the total amount of remaining payments will continue to be related to the achievements of gross profit targets, as defined in the original agreement. Zenvia agreed to pay a fixed amount of R$20M in December 2023, with the remaining amount to be paid in 24 installments, subject to accrued interests in line with Zenvia’s current bank financing costs. SenseData’s founding partners will continue to manage the company as per the original agreement, until the end of 2023. With the conclusion of this transaction, the total earnout for the acquisition of Sirena, D1, Movidesk and SenseData to be paid until the end of 2023 was reduced from estimated BRL444M to BRL81M, with the balance to be paid in installments until the end of 2026.
