Legal entities shareholders, such as Companies and Investment Funds, must be represented in accordance with their Bylaws/Articles of Incorporation or Charters, delivering the documents that evidence the good standing of the representation, having with them the Minutes of the election of Management, as the case may be, at the place and time indicated in the item below.

 

Shareholders without voting rights may attend the Shareholders’ Meeting and discuss all the matters submitted for resolution, in addition to the ones contained in items 3 and 4 of the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting.

With the aim of assisting the shareholders, we have included, at the end of this Manual, a Power of Attorney Template.

 

Optionally, the shareholders may grant power of attorney with different texts to the one we have suggested, since they contain, expressly, the powers granted and the precise identification of both the grantor and the grantee.

 

When the shareholder is represented by an attorney-in-fact, the good standing of the power of attorney will be verified before the beginning of the Shareholders’ Meetings, as well as the ownership of shares.

ü  when the period for distance voting ends, i.e. on March 3, 2020 (including this date), the shareholder may not change the voting instructions already sent, unless they are present at the Shareholder’s Meeting or represented by proxy, through an explicit request to disregard the voting instructions sent through the Ballot, before the respective matter(s) is(are) cast to vote.

 

Participation through the electronic voting platform

 

For investors with shares in custody in B3 or directly with the bookkeeper, in addition to the participation processes listed above, Bradesco also allows the exercise of the right to vote electronically free-of-charge.
