Montréal, June 18, 2024 – Nuvei Corporation (“Nuvei” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: NVEI)(TSX: NVEI), the Canadian fintech company, is pleased to announce that, at the special meeting (the “Meeting”) of the Company’s shareholders (the “Shareholders”) held on June 18, 2024, Shareholders approved the special resolution (the “Arrangement Resolution”) approving the previously-announced plan of arrangement under section 192 of the Canada Business Corporations Act (the "Arrangement") involving the Company and Neon Maple Purchaser Inc. (the “Purchaser”), a newly-formed entity controlled by Advent International, L.P. Pursuant to the Arrangement, the Purchaser will acquire all of the issued and outstanding subordinate voting shares ("Subordinate Voting Shares") and multiple voting shares ("Multiple Voting Shares" and collectively with the Subordinate Voting Shares, the "Shares") of the Company. The Shares that are not held by Philip Fayer, certain investment funds managed by Novacap Management Inc. (collectively, "Novacap") and Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec ("CDPQ" and, collectively with Philip Fayer and Novacap and the entities they control directly or indirectly, the "Rollover Shareholders") will be acquired for a price of US$34.00 in cash per Share.

Each of the Rollover Shareholders has agreed to sell all of their Shares to the Purchaser in exchange for consideration consisting of a combination of cash and shares in the capital of the Purchaser or an affiliate thereof. Following completion of the Arrangement, Philip Fayer, Novacap and CDPQ are expected to hold or exercise control or direction over, directly or indirectly, approximately 24%, 18% and 12%, respectively, of the common equity in the resulting private company.

Further details regarding the Arrangement are provided in the management information circular of the Company dated May 13, 2024 (the "Circular") mailed to Nuvei shareholders in connection with the Arrangement, a copy of which is available under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

The Arrangement Resolution was adopted on a vote by way of ballot by (i) at least two-thirds of the votes cast by the holders of Multiple Voting Shares and Subordinate Voting Shares virtually present or represented by proxy at the Meeting, voting together as a single class (with each Subordinate Voting Share being entitled to one vote and each Multiple Voting Share being entitled to ten votes); (ii) not less than a simple majority (more than 50%) of the votes cast by the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares virtually present or represented by proxy at the Meeting; (iii) not less than a simple majority of the votes cast by the holders of Multiple Voting Shares virtually present or represented by proxy at the Meeting; and (iv) not less than a simple majority of the votes cast by the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares virtually present or represented by proxy at the Meeting (excluding the Subordinate Voting Shares held by the Rollover Shareholders and the persons required to be excluded pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”)).

Forward-looking information is based on management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management, and although the forward-looking information contained herein is based upon what we believe are reasonable assumptions, investors are cautioned against placing undue reliance on this information since actual results may vary from the forward-looking information.
