Nuvei Announces Initial Public Offering in the United States

Applies to list its subordinate voting shares on the Nasdaq

MONTRÉAL, Oct. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - Nuvei Corporation ("Nuvei" or the "Company") (TSX: NVEI) (TSX: NVEI.U), the global payment technology partner of thriving brands, has announced today the launch of a marketed offering of 1,500,000 subordinate voting shares of the Company in the United States and Canada, representing Nuvei's initial public offering in the United States (the "Offering").

In connection with the Offering, Nuvei has applied to list its subordinate voting shares on Nasdaq Global Select Market (the "Nasdaq") under the symbol "NVEI". Trading in Nuvei's subordinate voting shares is expected to commence on the Nasdaq following the pricing of the Offering. Assuming the completion of the Offering, Nuvei expects to apply to have its subordinate voting shares trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") in U.S. dollars under the symbol "NVEI.U" delisted on the second day following the closing of the Offering. Nuvei's subordinate voting shares will continue to trade on the TSX in Canadian dollars under the symbol "NVEI".

Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, Credit Suisse, J.P. Morgan, BMO Capital Markets and RBC Capital Markets will act as bookrunners for a syndicate of underwriters (collectively, the "Underwriters"). The Offering will be priced in the context of the market; the issue price per subordinate voting share and size of the Offering will be determined when Nuvei enters into an underwriting agreement for the Offering.

Nuvei expects to use the net proceeds from the Offering primarily to strengthen the Company's financial position and allow it to pursue its growth strategies. Closing of the Offering will be subject to a number of customary conditions, including the entering into of a definitive underwriting agreement, the listing of the subordinate voting shares issued by the Company on the Nasdaq and the TSX, and any required approvals of the Nasdaq and the TSX.

Nuvei has granted the Underwriters an option, exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time until and including 30 days following the closing of the Offering, to purchase up to an additional 15% of the Offering at the offering price to cover over-allotments, if any.

In connection with the Offering, Nuvei has filed a preliminary prospectus supplement to its amended and restated short form base shelf prospectus dated May 20, 2021. The preliminary prospectus supplement was filed with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada as well as with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") as part of a registration statement on Form F-10 under the U.S./Canada multijurisdictional disclosure system.

A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the SEC but has not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy these securities be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective.

The Offering will be made in Canada only by means of the amended and restated base shelf prospectus and prospectus supplement and in the United States only by means of the registration statement, including the amended and restated base shelf prospectus and prospectus supplement. Such documents contain important information about the Offering. A copy of the preliminary prospectus supplement and of the prospectus supplement will be available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov, and a copy of the registration statement is available on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.
