Benzinga · 1d ago

Nuvini Group Limited (NASDAQ:NVNI) ("Nuvini" or the "Company"), Latin America's leading serial acquirer of B2B SaaS companies, today announced that Founder and Chief Executive Officer Pierre Schurmann has entered into a binding investment agreement to invest $6 million of personal capital in the Company through a direct private placement of equity securities, subject to closing conditions.

The investment represents one of the strongest demonstrations of insider confidence, with Mr. Schurmann committing substantial personal funds at a purchase price of $4.00 per share—a significant premium to current market price—alongside warrants to purchase additional 300,000 shares at $25.00 per share. This transaction follows open market share purchases by members of Nuvini's management team in October 2025.

Founder Doubles Down on Growth Vision

Under the terms of the agreement, Xurmann Investments Ltd, an investment vehicle wholly-owned by Mr. Schurmann, will acquire 1,500,000 ordinary shares at $4.00 per share, along with five-year warrants to purchase 300,000 additional shares at an exercise price of $25.00 per share. If the warrants are fully exercised, they would generate an additional $7.5 million in proceeds for the Company.

Following the closing, the Company will have 11,533,802 ordinary shares outstanding. The proceeds will be deployed for debt repayment and to support Nuvini as the Company executes on its acquisition strategy.

"This investment reflects my unwavering confidence in Nuvini's business model, our execution capabilities, and the significant value creation opportunity ahead," said Pierre Schurmann, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Nuvini. "By committing $6 million of personal capital at a substantial premium to current market prices, I am reinforcing my belief that Nuvini's shares represent exceptional value at these levels. We have a robust pipeline of high-quality acquisition targets, a proven track record of integration, and an AI-first operating strategy that is driving meaningful margin expansion across our portfolio."

Strong Signal of Management Alignment

The investment underscores the deep alignment between management and shareholders, with Mr. Schurmann significantly increasing his economic stake in the Company's future success. The transaction follows a series of strategic initiatives announced throughout 2025, including:

  • FY2025 EBITDA guidance of $9-11 million USD, with a clear path to $85-95 million run-rate EBITDA by end of Q1 2026 through strategic acquisitions
  • Launch of NuviniAI Lab and NuviniAI Index, driving 40% average productivity gains and positioning the Company as a leader in AI-enabled SaaS operations
  • Implementation of performance-based executive compensation tied to ROIC and organic revenue growth
  • Regaining and maintaining NASDAQ compliance throughout 2025

"When a founder commits this level of personal capital at a significant premium, it sends an unambiguous message to the market," Schurmann continued. "I am investing because I believe we are dramatically undervalued relative to our earnings power, growth trajectory, and the quality of our business "

Transaction Terms and Closing

The transaction is expected to close within 45 days, subject to customary closing conditions including corporate and regulatory approvals.
