Itaú Unibanco Holding S.A. Report on the Brazilian Corporate Governance Code. 2 Partially Compliant Compliant N/A Not Compliant 1.1.1 Partially Compliant Compliant N/A Not Compliant The company’s capital stock should be comprised of common shares only. Our bylaws provide for two types of shares, common (ON) and preferred (PN) shares, both book-entry, with no par value and in a single class. Each common share entitles its holder to one vote at General Meetings. Preferred shares do not grant voting rights, except in specific cases legally provided for, and give their holders priority on the receipt of non-cumulative minimum annual dividends of R$ 0.022 per share, adjusted in the event of a stock split or reverse stock split, and also the right, in the event of a disposal of control, to be included in a public offering for the acquisition of shares, in order to assure a price equal to 80% of the amount paid per voting share, as part of the controlling stockholders, ensuring dividends at least equal to those of common shares. Preferred shares are a legitimate instrument, set forth by law, and their issue has no bearing on the quality of our management, corporate governance level, performance or returns to our Stockholders. Since our incorporation, our controlling Stockholders believe that our capital structure satisfactorily meets our purposes. The Bylaws is available on our investor relations website: www.itau.com.br/investor-relations > Menu > Itaú Unibanco > Corporate Governance > Rules and Policies > Bylaws. 1.2.1 Shareholders’ agreements should not bind the exercise of voting rights of any members of management or supervisory and control bodies. Given the merger between Itaú and Unibanco, in 2009, regulation through a Shareholders’ Agreement was necessary, including binding the exercise of the voting rights of members of the Board of Directors. We believe that the definition and regulation of stockholding control, as reflected in the Shareholders’ Agreement, is a positive for the smooth running of the business, and does not harm the interests of investors and Company itself, mainly considering: (i) the fiduciary duty of all management members, who should always vote in the best interests of the Company; (ii) the existence of a highly professional management with broad technical expertise; (iii) the significant number of independent members of the Board of Directors, representing 50% of the total members; and (iv) the existence of rigorous mechanisms, strictly applied by the Company, to prevent conflicts of interest arising in practice. Our Shareholders’ Agreement of IUPAR does not bind the voting rights of any member of the Company’s inspection and control bodies. The Shareholders’ Agreement is available on our investor relations website: www.itau.com.br/investor-relations > Menu > Itaú Unibanco > Corporate Governance > Rules and Policies > Others.

Exceptionally in 2020, we did not make a presentation to communicate the conduct of the Company’s business during the Meeting due to the health crisis caused by Coronavirus, which requires several precautions, including social distance. Nevertheless, the General Stockholders’ Meeting Manual includes the full text of item 10 of the Reference Form, which details the Executive Officers Comments regarding our business.

Report on the Brazilian Corporate Governance Code. 17 Partially Compliant N/A Not Compliant 4.5.3 The executive board should assess at least once a year the effectiveness of the risk management and internal control policies and systems, as well as the compliance programs, and submit this assessment to the board of directors. The Board of Directors is the highest authority in terms of risk management, and is responsible for setting the Company’s risk appetite levels under the risk appetite policy. Under the risk appetite structure, the Company defines a set of measures to capture the key dimensions of major risks, and the process for defining these measures, the limits and the risk appetite requires interactions between executives and the Board of Directors. To help the Board of Directors, the Company established a Risk and Capital Management Committee to submit to the Board of Directors the types of risks to which the Company may be exposed, as well as risk limits and guidelines on the tolerance for risks that may impact the business strategy. The Risk and Capital Management Committee is responsible for supporting the Board of Directors with the performance of its responsibilities related to the Company’s risk and capital management, submitting for the Board’s consideration reports and recommendations on topics such as: approval and review, at least annually, of the policies, strategies and risk and capital management limits; the definition of the Company’s risk appetite, ensuring alignment with the strategy, including acceptable tolerance levels and types of risk to which the Company may be exposed and, finally, the supervision of compliance with the terms of the Company’s risk appetite. At the executive level, risk and capital management is carried out by Senior Committees chaired by the CEO of Itaú Unibanco. Through the commission and committee hierarchy, risks are first discussed at lower levels of authority and, if the level of authority for this topic is higher or the topic is deemed of high importance, it will be submitted to the respective higher level of authority, then discussed with the Board of Directors. Commissions and committees use materials that include recurring and specific risk and capital management reports, including elements relevant to each body, and these materials are also made available to the members of the Board of Directors. The main risk and capital report is the risk appetite report, prepared by the Risk and Capital Management Committee and periodically submitted to the Audit Committee. 5.1.1 The company should have an independent and self-governing Conduct Committee, reporting directly to the Board of Directors, responsible for implementing, transmitting, training, reviewing and updating the code of conduct and the whistleblowing channel, as well as for carrying out inquiries and proposing corrective measures in connection with any violations of the code of conduct. The Audit Committee also functions as a Conduct Committee, as it has been designated by the Code of Ethics as responsible for monitoring the Corporate Integrity and Ethics Program, by means of reports from the Internal Audit, Internal Controls and Compliance, Corporate Security Office and Ombudsman Office, as well as through other mechanisms available. The Audit Committee reports directly to the Board of Directors and is made up of independent members, as set forth by the Brazilian National Monetary Council regulation. Additionally, this governance includes the Integrity and Ethics Bodies, which monitor the guidelines of Itaú Unibanco’s Code of Ethics and the Corporate Conduct, Integrity and Ethics Policy through the Corporate Integrity and Ethics Program.

If they fail to do so, these rules determine that another knowing person may bring such conflict to light and that as soon as this conflict of interest regarding a specific topic is identified, the involved person shall be kept away, including physically, from such discussions and resolutions. These rules should require this temporary seclusion to be recorded in the minutes. The company should have mechanisms to manage conflicts of interest in relation to votes at general meetings, to receive and deal with alleged conflicts of interest, and to annul votes cast in such conflicting situations, even if this takes place subsequently to voting. The Company’s Shareholders’ Manual expressly provides that during a General Meeting, as is the case at meetings of the Company’s management and supervisory bodies, the Shareholders present shall express their opinion on the existence of possible conflicts of interest in any matters under discussion or deliberation, where their independence could be compromised. Also, any present shareholder who has knowledge of a conflicting situation in relation to another shareholder and the subject matter of the resolution must also declare this. When the conflict of interest is manifested, the conflicted shareholder shall refrain from deliberating on that matter. If the conflicted shareholder refuses to abstain from deliberations, the chairman of the General Meeting shall annul the conflicting votes, even after the conclave. The Company’s Shareholders Manual is available on our Investor Relations website: www. itau.com.br/investor-relations > Menu > Reports > Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM).

Each member should report to the Board of Directors any conflict of interest he/she has as soon as this topic is included in the agenda or proposed by the Board of Directors’ Chairman and, in any case, before the beginning of any discussion of the respective topic. Furthermore, the Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors shall terminate the term of office of any member of the Audit Committee if their independence has been affected by any circumstance of conflict or potential conflict.
