6. In case the transactions are to be carried out outside organized securities markets, inform: a. the maximum (minimum) price for which the shares will be acquired (sold); and b. if applicable, the reasons that justify carrying out the transaction at prices more than 10% (ten percent) higher, in the case of acquisition, or more than 10% (ten percent) lower, in the case of sale, than the average of the price, weighted by the volume, in the 10 (ten) previous trading sessions.

Not applicable, considering that the operations will be carried out on the Brazilian stock exchange.

7. Inform, if any, the impacts that the negotiation will have on the composition of the shareholding control or the management structure of the company.

Not applicable, as the Company has a defined controlling shareholder and therefore does not anticipate any impacts that the negotiation will have on the composition of our shareholder structure or the management structure of the company.

8. Identify the counterparties, if known, and, in the case of a related party to the company, as defined by the accounting rules that deal with this matter, also provide the information required by art. 9 of CVM Resolution 81, of March 29, 2022.

Not applicable, considering that the Company will carry out operations on the Brazilian stock exchange with no knowledge of the identity of counterparties.

9. Indicate the destination of the funds received, if applicable.

Not applicable, considering that the Company will not receive funds; the acquired shares will be held in treasury and may be used to meet the provisions of the Company's share-based compensation plans, for subsequent sale in public or private transactions (subject to the relevant approvals) or even canceled.

10. Indicate the maximum period for the settlement of authorized transactions.

Purchases may be made within up to 18 months counted as of the date of their approval, therefore, until November 18, 2024.

12. Specify the available resources to be used, in the form of art. 8, § 1, of CVM Resolution 77, of March 29, 2022.

The acquisition will occur as per a deduction of the capital reserve account recorded in the balance sheet dated as of March 31, 2023.

13. Specify the reasons why the members of the board of directors feel comfortable that the repurchase of shares will not affect the compliance of obligations with creditors or the payment of fixed or minimum mandatory dividends.

The total amount to be paid by the Company if it repurchases a total of 13,000,000 shares would be approximately R$ 188,000,000.00, based on the weighted average of the quotations for the last 30 days. This amount represents approximately 1.5% of the Company's cash, as determined in the most recent financial statements disclosed to the market.

In view of the low percentage of the Company's cash that would be used for the repurchase, the members of the board of directors are comfortable that the repurchase of shares will not affect the compliance of obligations with creditors nor the payment of mandatory dividends.
