Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 6-K filing by Telefônica Brasil S.A. (NYSE: VIV) covers the period ending June 27, 2024. The report serves as a Notice to the Market regarding a strategic corporate venture capital investment rather than a periodic financial results report.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not provide standard financial performance metrics such as revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity for the reporting period. The only specific financial figure disclosed is the investment commitment amount.
- Investment Commitment: US$5 million
- Target Company: CRMBonus Holding
- Investment Vehicle: Vivo Ventures (a fund held by Telefônica Brasil and TelefónicaOpen Innovation, S.L.)
Material Changes
The material change disclosed is the fifth investment made by Vivo Ventures since its creation in April 2022.

This transaction represents a strategic expansion into digital services and artificial intelligence solutions rather than a change in core operating results.
Outlook, Management Commentary, and Risks
