DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 relates to the Registration Statement (as amended, the “Registration Statement”) on Form F-3 (File Number 333-280107) originally filed by Lavoro Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (the “Company”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on Form F-1 on March 23, 2023, which was amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on May 9, 2023. The Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on May 25, 2023. On November 13, 2023, the Company filed the Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to include information contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended June 30, 2023. The Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on November 21, 2023. On July 25, 2024, the Company filed the Registration Statement on Form F-3, constituting a post-effective amendment of the Registration Statement, to convert the Registration Statement into a registration statement on Form F-3. The Registration Statement on Form F-3 was declared effective by the SEC on July 31, 2024. The Registration Statement registered US$150,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares offered by the Company and up to 121,640,743 Class A Ordinary Shares including up to 10,083,592 Class A Ordinary Shares Underlying Warrants offered by the Selling Securityholders.
On February 13, 2026, the Company announced that it notified The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) of the Company’s decision to voluntarily delist its Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.001 (the “Shares”) from the Nasdaq Global Market. On February 24, 2026, the Company filed a Notification of Removal From Listing And Registration on Form 25 with the SEC to delist the Shares from Nasdaq and to deregister the Shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company intends to file a Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration on Form 15 with the SEC requesting the termination of registration of the Shares under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of the Company’s reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. In connection with the Company’s voluntary decision to delist and deregister, the Company has terminated any and all offerings pursuant to the Registration Statement. Accordingly, the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 is made pursuant to an undertaking made by the Company in Part II of the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any securities that had been registered for issuance but remain unsold at the termination of the offering. The Company, by filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 3, hereby removes from registration any and all securities registered but unsold under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof. The Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities.
