3.

Restate the Company’s Bylaws, in order to reflect the amendment proposed in item 2 above, if approved; and

 

4.

Authorize the Company's management to perform all necessary acts for the conclusion of the resolutions above.

 

7.       RESOLUTIONS:

 

The Chairperson clarified that, as everyone was aware, the main purpose of the Meeting was to discuss and resolve on the proposal to reduce the Company's capital stock, in the amount of two billion reais (R$2,000,000,000.00), without the cancellation of shares, upon reimbursement of funds to shareholders, as it was considered excessive, pursuant to Article 173 of the Corporation Law.

 

Additionally, the Chairperson noted that the matter had been previously analyzed by the Audit and Control Committee, by the Fiscal Board, and by the Company's Board of Directors, which were in favor of all items of the agenda for which they were responsible.

 

Finally, the Chairperson informed that the documentation relevant to this Meeting was available to the shareholders. The attending shareholders agreed with (i) the waiver of the reading of the documents, as they were fully knowns by all, as well as of the Consolidated Remote Voting Map, which were available for consultation, and (ii) the drawing up of these minutes in summary form, pursuant to art. 130, paragraph 1, of the Corporations Law, and any documents or proposals submitted to the meeting, as well as the voting or dissenting declarations will be numbered in sequence, authenticated by the presiding board and by any shareholder that requests it, being shelved at the Company’s principal place of business.

 

After examining and discussing the items of the agenda, the attending shareholders resolved as follows:

 

(1)         Deliberate on the reduction of the Company's capital stock, in the amount of two billion reais (R$2,000,000,000.00), without the cancellation of shares, upon reimbursement of funds to shareholders, pursuant to Article 173 of the Corporations Law.

 

The abstentions (according to the final summary voting map contained in Exhibit A to these minutes) were registered and the reduction of the Company's capital stock, in the amount of two billion reais (R$2,000,000,000.00), without the cancellation of shares, was approved, by majority of votes, as it was considered excessive, pursuant to Article 173 of the Corporation Law, so that the number of shares and the percentage of shareholders' interest in the Company's capital stock will remain unchanged. As a result, the Company's capital stock will be changed from sixty-two billion, seventy-one million, four hundred and fifteen thousand, eight hundred and sixty-five reais and nine centavos (R$62,071,415,865.09) to sixty billion, seventy-one million, four hundred and fifteen thousand, eight hundred and sixty-five reais and nine centavos (R$60,071,415,865.09).

 

 

 

The Reduction will be achieved through a reimbursement to shareholders, in local currency, in the amount of R$1.22651176012 per common share issued by the Company, considering a total of 1,652,588,360 common shares issued by the Company outstanding on this date, excluding 21,947,656 shares issued by the Company held in treasury, carried out on October 31, 2024. The value per common share is calculated based on the shareholding position as of October 31, 2024, and, due to the Company's Share Buyback Program, said amount per common share may change considering the Company's shareholding base to be verified on February 27, 2025.

 

Thus, the shareholding position to be considered to receive the resources resulting from the Reduction will be provided for in the Company's records at the end of February 27, 2025, and, after this date, the shares issued by the Company will be considered ex-reimbursement rights.

 

The resources resulting from the Reduction will be paid in a single installment, until July 31, 2025, on a date yet to be determined by the Company's Management, each shareholder individually and in proportion to their respective participation in the Company's share capital, in accordance with the liquidation procedures established by B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (“B3”) and the bookkeeper institution of the Company's shares, as applicable.

 

The capital reduction will become effective after sixty (60) days period of opposition by creditors, beginning on the publication of these minutes, as provided for in Article 174 of the Corporations Law.

 

(2)         Amend Article 5, caput, of the Company's Bylaws to reflect the new value of its capital stock as a result of the proposal contained in item 1 above, if approved.

 

By majority of votes, the abstentions (according to the final summary voting map provided for in Exhibit A to these minutes) were registered and the amendment to Article 5, main section, of the Company's Bylaws was approved to reflect the new value of its capital stock as a result of the capital reduction approved in item 1 above, so that, after the expiry of the sixty (60) days period of opposition by creditors, provided for in Article 174 of the Corporations Law, Article 5 of the Bylaws will come into force with the following wording:

 

“Art. 5 - The fully paid-up and subscribed capital is sixty billion, seventy-one million, four hundred and fifteen thousand, eight hundred and sixty-five reais and nine centavos (R$60,071,415,865.09), divided into one billion, six hundred and fifty-two million, dive hundred and eighty-eight thousand, three hundred and sixty (1,652,588,360) shares, all common, book-entry shares, without par value.

 

Sole Paragraph - The shares will be held in a deposit account in a financial institution in the name of their holders, without the issue of certificates.”

 

(3)     Restate the Bylaws of the Company, in order to reflect the amendment proposed in item 2 above, if approved.

 

By majority of votes, the abstentions (according to the final summary voting map provided for in Exhibit A to these minutes) were registered and the restatement of the Company's Bylaws was approved, which, after the expiry of the period of 60 (sixty) days provided for in article 174 of the Brazilian Corporation Law, will come into force with the wording provided for in Exhibit B to these minutes.

 

(4)         Authorize the Company's management to perform all necessary acts for the conclusion of the resolutions above.

 

By majority of votes, the abstentions (according to the final summary voting map provided for in Exhibit A to these minutes) were registered and the authorization to the Company's directors to practice all acts necessary to carry out the resolutions above was approved, including and especially the publication of these minutes in the widely circulated newspaper used by the Company, for the purposes of Article 174 of the Corporations Law.

 

8.       VOTING MAP: As per Article 33, paragraph 4, of CVM Resolution No. 80/22, of March 29, 2022, as amended, the final summary voting map is executed by the Meeting’s Chairperson and by Secretary, indicating the quantities of approvals, rejection and abstentions that each resolution received and is part of these minutes as its Exhibit A.

 

9.       CLOSING: There being nothing further to discuss, the Chairperson of the Meeting declared the meeting closed and ordered the suspension of the meeting in order to draw up the minutes in summary form. It was also noted that the shareholders' signatures shall be omitted in the publication of the minutes.
