Cautionary NOTE Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Our disclosure and analysis in this Current Report on Form 8-K for Brazil Minerals, Inc. (the “Company”) contains some forward-looking statements. Statements that are predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions or that include words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates” and similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Although we believe that these statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, they are subject to several risks and uncertainties.

Investors are cautioned that our forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and the actual results or developments may differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements.

As for the forward-looking statements that relate to future financial results and other projections, actual results will be different due to the inherent uncertainty of estimates, forecasts and projections and may be better or worse than projected. Given these uncertainties, you should not place any reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements also represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date that they were made. We expressly disclaim a duty to provide updates to these forward-looking statements, and the estimates and assumptions associated with them, after the date of this filing to reflect events or changes in circumstances or changes in expectations or the occurrence of anticipated events.

You are advised to consult any additional disclosures we make in our reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Form 8-K, or their successors. Other factors besides those discussed in this Current Report could also adversely affect us.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On September 15, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved the satisfaction and cancellation of the convertible debt owed to Marc Fogassa, the chief executive of the Company, in exchange for the issuance to Mr. Fogassa of shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (see Item 5.03 below).

On September 14, 2021, the Board, acting within its powers as granted since 2012 by the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, approved the preparation and subsequent filing on September 16, 2021, with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, of a Certificate of Designation designating a new class of preferred stock called Series D Convertible Preferred Stock which has no voting rights, except on matters, the approval of which would have an adverse effect on such class.
