ITEM 16F. CHANGE IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes Ltda. was previously appointed as our independent registered public accounting firm. On April 18, 2024, our board of directors, as recommended by our audit committee, approved the dismissal of PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes Ltda. Such dismissal will become effective upon completion by PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes Ltda. of its audit of the financial statements of Vitru Limited as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the filing of the related Form 20-F.

PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes Ltda.’s report on our financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended on December 31, 2023 and 2022 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the subsequent interim period through the date of dismissal, there have been no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes Ltda. on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes Ltda. would have caused PricewaterhouseCoopers Auditores Independentes Ltda. to make a reference thereto in their audit reports for such fiscal years.


During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the subsequent interim period through the date of dismissal, there were “reportable events” as defined under Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F as follows:

In connection with the audits of our consolidated financial statements, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.
