PART I

EXPLANATORY NOTE

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS

This Registration Statement on Form S-8 is being filed for the purpose of registering a number of Class A common shares, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Shares”) of VTEX (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) reserved for issuance under the VTEX 2021 Share Plan, as amended and restated on October 30, 2025 (the “2021 Share Plan”). The amount of Class A Common Shares being registered consists of (i) 3,113,883 Class A Common Shares as a result of the operation, for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, of the “evergreen” provision of the 2021 Share Plan, which provides that the total number of Class A Common Shares subject to the 2021 Share Plan will be increased on the first day of each fiscal year by an amount equal to 1.8% of our outstanding share capital on December 31, 2025; and (ii) 1,580,278 (“Bonus Share Grant Reserve”) to be reserved for issuance under the 2021 Share Plan in connection with an amendment to the 2021 Share Plan, effective of as October 30, 2025, as described below.

On October 30, 2025, our Board of Directors established an additional separate and independent reserve of Class A Common Shares under the VTEX 2021 Share Plan for awards to be granted pursuant to a new global benefit program to certain eligible employees, consisting of an exchange of cash bonus and/or commissions into equity. Awards granted under the Bonus Share Grant Reserve are subject to the terms and conditions of the 2021 Share Plan, however, the Bonus Share Grant Reserve constitutes a stand-alone share reserve that is separate from and in addition to any other share reserve maintained under the 2021 Share Plan. Shares allocated to, or issued from, the Bonus Share Grant Reserve shall not be commingled with, counted against, or otherwise reduce the number of Class A Common Shares available for issuance from any other share reserve under the 2021 Share Plan, and vice versa.

These Class A Common Shares are additional securities of the same class as other securities for which the original registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-261177) was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on November 18, 2021.

Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of such earlier registration statements, as amended by the post-effective amendments, where applicable, are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement, except that the provisions contained in Part II of such earlier registration statements are modified as set forth in this Registration Statement.
