The average price obtained from the sale of the remaining float in Brazil was of COP$2,200.00 per Share ("Sale Price per Share in Colombian Pesos"). The Sale Price per Share in COP was converted into U.S. dollars, at the exchange rate USD/COP of $0.000241, corresponding to a price of US$2.139775289 per Share, and subsequently into national reais, at the exchange rate USD/BRL rate of $5.70, corresponding, therefore, to R$12.19671915 per Share, which, after the deduction of the applicable costs and taxes, corresponds to a total an amount of R$12.0303716140 per Share to be paid to BDR holders.

 

The payment must occur on June 9, 2025. Itaú Unibanco S.A., the depositary institution of the BDRs ("Depositary"), will transfer to B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão ("B3") the funds to be paid to BDR holders who held their positions with B3's central depository, which, in turn, will be responsible for transferring such funds to the respective holders, through its custody, bookkeeping agents. BDR holders who held their positions directly with the Depositary will receive the amounts due directly from it.

 

Finally, once the Discontinuation of the BDR Program is concluded, the Company informs that it will proceed with the request for voluntary cancellation of its BDR Program before the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission, with the consequent automatic cancellation of its registration as an issuer of securities category "A".

 

The Company will keep the market informed about the subject matter hereof this Notice.
