Accordingly, as of April 30, 2026, inclusive, the Company’s common shares will be traded “ex-dividend.” The amounts of Interest on Equity, net of withholding taxes, will be allocated to the mandatory dividend for the 2026 fiscal year, in accordance with the criteria established in Article 84, Paragraph 2 of the Company’s Bylaws. After analyzing and discussing the information provided, receiving the clarifications deemed necessary, and considering the favorable recommendation of the Executive Board, issued at its 2660th Meeting on April 9, 2026, the Board of Directors unanimously resolved to approve the proposal for the distribution of earnings in the form of Interest on Equity, as recorded in the material held by the Department of Secretariat and in accordance with item 1.8 of the Dividend Policy, with payment to be made on September 30, 2026, pursuant to Article 30, item XXII, and Article 84, paragraph 1, of the Company’s Bylaws. ---------------------------------------------------------------- 02.
