Lavoro Announces Voluntary Delisting from the Nasdaq Global Market

SÃO PAULO, Brazil, Feb. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lavoro Limited (Nasdaq: LVRO, LVROW) (the “Company” or “Lavoro”) announced today that it has notified the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) of its decision to voluntarily delist its ordinary shares, par value $0.001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”) and its warrants exercisable for one Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 (the “Warrants”) from the Nasdaq Global Market.

Lavoro intends to file a Form 25 (Notification of Removal of Listing) with the SEC to remove its Ordinary Shares and Warrants from listing on the Nasdaq Global Market on or about February 24, 2026 and deregister such securities under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and as a result, Lavoro expects that the last trading day of its Ordinary Shares and Warrants on the Nasdaq Global Market will be on or about February 23, 2026. Furthermore, on or about March 6, 2026, the Company intends to file a Form 15 with the SEC to suspend the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 12(g) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

The decision to delist and deregister the Ordinary Shares and Warrants is based on the evaluation of a range of factors and was approved by the Board of Directors. These considerations include the challenging market environment in Brazil during the most recent crop cycles and the costs and expenses associated with being a publicly traded company, particularly given the limited benefits currently associated with maintaining a U.S. public listing.

The Company’s low trading volume and limited public shareholder base have reduced the liquidity of its securities and limited its ability to access the U.S. public capital markets, to attract interest from institutional investors and market analysts, and to use its securities as consideration in strategic transactions. At the same time, the Company continues to incur significant audit, legal and other costs associated with being a reporting company, as well as substantial management time and compliance demands under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, SEC rules and Nasdaq listing standards. The burdens associated with operating as a publicly traded company outweigh the advantages to the Company and its shareholders at this time.

Following the delisting of Lavoro’s Ordinary Shares and Warrants from trading on Nasdaq, any trading in such securities would only occur in privately negotiated sales and potentially on an over-the-counter market. There is no guarantee, however, that a broker will make a market in Lavoro’s Ordinary Shares and Warrants and that trading thereof will occur on an OTC market or otherwise.

The Company reserves its right in all aspects to postpone or withdraw the above filings prior to their effectiveness; if necessary, the Company will make any further announcement as required by the Nasdaq listing standards and other applicable laws.
