The total amount of dividends payable to the holders of: (i) class A preferred shares is R$ 346,525.49, equivalent to R$ 2.43075137906 per class A preferred share; (ii) class B preferred shares is

Amounts per share exclude shares held on treasury on April 26, 2024.

Only shareholders who hold the Company's shares on the date of the AEGM, i.e., April 26, 2024 (inclusive), will be entitled to receive dividends. Therefore, as of April 29, 2024 (inclusive), the Company's class A and class B preferred shares, as well as common shares, will not be entitled to receive dividends (i.e., they will trade ex-dividend).

The dividend payments for shareholders whose shares are held in custody at B3 S.A. - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão, will be made to B3, which will then transfer the amounts to shareholders through the custody agents. Dividend payments for other shareholders will be made by direct deposit into the current accounts of the respective shareholders registered with Itaú Corretora de Valores, the Company's broker. Shareholders with outdated registration information should contact the Registrar to request an update so that they can receive their dividends.

Dividends will be paid on May 9, 2024. Dividends not claimed within 3 years from the date of commencement of payment will be forfeited and will revert to the Company.
