The shareholder who chooses to exercise his voting rights at a distance may (i) transmit the filling instructions to service providers able to collect and transmit such instructions (registrar or custodian), as per the guidance below; or (ii) complete and send this bulletin directly to the Company.

Considering the current guidelines of the Ministry of Health, the State Government of São Paulo and the City Hall of São Paulo for the prevention and confrontation of the coronavirus (COVID-19), and aiming at the safety of its shareholders, the Company suggests that, if possible, preference should be given to using the distance vote bulletin for participation in the Annual Shareholders' Meeting, mainly by sending them to the service providers referred to in item “i” of the paragraph above, given the greater simplicity of such procedure.

Voting by means of service providers - distance voting system

Shareholders may transmit the instructions for completing this bulletin to the service providers which are able to provide services to collect and transmit instructions for completion of bulletin for distance vote, namely:

(i)     shareholder’s custodian, if the shares are deposited in a central depositary; or

(ii)   to Banco Bradesco S.A., as the financial institution hired by the Company to provide securities bookkeeping services, if the shares are not deposited in a central depositary.

The shareholder that elects to exercise his/her distance vote right through the service providers (pursuant to art. 21-B, item II, of ICVM 481/09) must contact his/her custody agents and/or Banco Bradesco S.A. and verify the procedures adopted by them for the issuance of distance vote instructions, as well as the documents and information required by them. The deadline for transmitting the instructions to the service providers is 7 days before the date of the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, that is (including), April 22, 2021.
