On September 18, 2024, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Jupiter Gold Corporation (the “Company’) appointed Rodrigo Nazareth Menck, age 49, as the Company’s new Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), Principal Accounting Officer (“Controller”), and Treasurer, effective immediately. In his role as CFO, Controller, and Treasurer, Mr. Menck replaces Mr. Marc Fogassa, who continues to serve as the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

 

Mr. Menck is currently a director of Atlas Lithium Corporation (“Atlas Lithium”), one of the Company’s largest shareholders. Since September 2023 he has been an advisor to Atlas Lithium covering a range of topics, including operational readiness and interface with institutional investors. Previously, from January 2023 to July 2023, Mr. Menck was the Chief Financial Officer of Sigma Lithium Corp., a Canadian publicly listed company (“Sigma”). During his tenure at Sigma, he successfully contributed to listing Sigma’s Brazilian Depository Receipts on the Brazilian Stock Exchange, B3.

 

Between February 2019 and July 2022, Mr. Menck held the position of Senior Vice President of Finance & Group CFO at Nexa Resources SA, a NYSE & TSX listed company, controlled by the traditional Brazilian group Votorantim. From April 2016 to January 2019, he was the Global Treasurer at Nexa Resources, responsible for the debt restructuring of the company, as well as acting as the principal managing officer for its initial public offering, which was successfully concluded in October 2017.

 

From January 2011 to March 2016, Mr. Menck was an Investment Director at the Odebrecht group in Brazil, responsible for the structuring of project finance transactions of road concessions throughout Latin America, especially in Peru, Colombia and Panama. He was also responsible for the structuring of multilateral agency financing for landmark public constructions in countries such as Argentina, Paraguay and the Dominican Republic.

 

From May 2008 to January 2011 Mr. Menck held positions at Braskem SA, a large Brazilian petrochemical company, initially as Debt Manager, from May 2008 to May 2010, and then as Corporate Finance & Shared Services Director, during which was responsible for several capital market transactions, such as bond issuances, local securitization funds structuring and day-to-day debt restructuring.

 

Prior to that, from January 1996 to May 2008, Mr. Menck had a 12-year career in several Brazilian and international banks based in Brazil, such as BankBoston, Banco Francês e Brasileiro, WestLB, Citibank and BNP Paribas, holding several different positions such as Trader, Trade Finance Manager, Securitization Officer, Product Manager, DCM & Export Finance Structurer and Relationship Manager, while covering a variety of clients in a diverse range of segments in Brazil.

 

He has a degree in Business Administration, and an MBA in Economics of the Financial Sector, both from the University of São Paulo in Brazil. Mr. Menck is fluent in Portuguese, English and Spanish and is a Certified CFO by the Brazilian Institute of Financial Executives in Brazil.

 

Except as disclosed herein, there are no other arrangements or understandings between Mr. Menck and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as an officer, and Mr. Menck is not a participant in any other related party transaction required to be reported pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
