SCHEDULE 13G

EXHIBIT B

NOTICE OF DISSOLUTION OF GROUP

Certain of the Reporting Persons, as defined in this Schedule 13G were party to a shareholders agreement among the StoneCo Ltd. (the “Issuer”) and the founder shareholders dated as of October 29, 2018 (the “Shareholders Agreement”), pursuant to which the Reporting Persons may have been deemed to be a member of a “group.” The Reporting Persons had previously filed a Schedule 13G, as amended, jointly with Andre Street de Aguiar (“Andre Street”) and his affiliated entities and Eduardo Cunha Monnerat Solon de Pontes (“Eduardo Pontes”) and his affiliated entities as they were entitled to certain rights under the Issuer’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association adopted by special resolution passed on October 11, 2018 and the Shareholders Agreement.

On November 29, 2022, following a series of governance enhancements, the Brazilian Central Bank (“BACEN”) approved a technical change of control request submitted by the Issuer amid a corporate restructuring involving its founder shareholders, Andre Street and Eduardo Pontes. As part of this restructuring, Eduardo Pontes left HR Holdings, LLC and consequently converted his original super voting Class B common shares into Class A common shares. As a result, the two founder shareholders have less than 50% of the voting power, with the conversion of Eduardo Pontes interests in Class B common shares from HR Holdings, LLC (which were held indirectly through certain of the Reporting Persons) into Class A common shares directly owned by his family vehicles (certain of the Reporting Persons) (the “Corporate Restructuring”).

On April 28, 2023, in connection with the Corporate Restructuring, the Issuer’s founder shareholders executed an irrevocable waiver to formally waive certain rights. As a result, Eduardo Pontes and his affiliated entities are no longer deemed to be a member of a “group” and are no longer filing a Schedule 13G jointly with Andre Street and his affiliated entities. Any further filings, if required, will be made separately by Andre Street and his affiliated entities and Eduardo Pontes and his affiliated entities.
