We advised XP on the transaction

Davis Polk advised XP Inc. in connection with the $9.5 billion merger of Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A.’s XPart S.A. with and into XP. In connection with the consummation of the merger, XPart was merged with and into XP and XPart ceased to exist, providing XPart’s stockholders the opportunity to hold direct interest in XP, by holding either Class A Shares issued by XP (Itaúsa S.A., IUPAR – Itaú Unibanco Participações S.A., and holders of Itaú Unibanco Holding’s ADRs) or BDRs issued by XP (other XPart’s stockholders). The Brazilian depositary receipts (BDRs) of XP Inc. started trading at B3 as of October 4, 2021.
