The Split will take place without modifying the Company's capital stock, which will remain in the amount of ten billion and eight hundred million reais (R$10,800,000,000.00), but will be represented by two billion, seven hundred and thirty-six million, five hundred and fifty-three thousand, seven hundred and fifty (2,736,553,750) shares, without par value, being one billion, four hundred and fifty million, three hundred and ten thousand, eight hundred (1,450,310,800) common sharesand one billion, two hundred eighty-six million, two hundred forty-two thousand, nine hundred fifty (1,286,242,950) preferred shares and, of these, three million, two hundred sixty-seven thousand, five hundred twenty (3,267,520) are class “A” and preferred shares and one billion, two hundred eighty-two million, nine hundred seventy-five thousand, four hundred thirty (1,282,975,430) are class “B” preferred shares.

 

The shares resulting from the Split will grant their holders the same rights as the existing shares, including in relation to the distribution of dividends and/or interest on equity and any capital compensation that may be distributed by the Company as of this date (inclusive).

 

The shares will trade ex-split as of March 12, 2021 (inclusive), and the shares resulting from the split will be credited to shareholders on March 16, 2021.

 

Considering that the Split will be held in such a way that each share issued by the Company will be split into 10 (ten) shares of the same type and class, there will be no surplus resulting from fractions of shares.

 

 
 

 

 

The Company's management will adopt the necessary measures to operate the split on depositary receipt programs abroad.
