5.1.2. Until the

Bookbuilding Procedure's

conclusion date

(as defined

below),

including, the number of Shares initially offered may, at the discretion of the Company, in

agreement

with the Coordinators of

the Offering, be

increased by

up to

20% (twenty percent), in other words, to 54,000,000common shares issued by the Company, under the same conditions and at the same price as the Shares initially offered ("Additional Actions"), being certain that the total number of Shares, considering the placement of all Additional Shares, will not exceed the limit of 325,000,000 Shares, as approved at the EGM of the Offering.

  1. Within the scope of the Offering, the issuance of the Offer Shares (including Additional Shares) will be carried out to the exclusion of the right of preference of its current shareholders, under the terms of article 172, item I, of Law 6404, December 15, 1976 ("Corporation Law") and Article 8 of the Company's Bylaws. Under the terms of article 9-A of CVM Instruction 476 and as approved at the Offering's EGM, in order to ensure the participation of the Company's current shareholders in the Offering, priority will be granted to current shareholders for the subscription of up to the totality of the Shares (considering the Additional Shares), to be placed through the Offer, in proportion to their respective stakes in the Company's capital stock. After the priority right is met, the remaining shares ( considering the Additional Shares) will be destined for public placement with (i) professional investors, as defined by article 11 of CVM Resolution No. 30, dated May 11, 2021, who are resident and domiciled or headquartered in Brazil and who additionally attest in writing their status as professional investors by means of a specific term ("Professional Investors"); e (ii) Foreign Investors, (together with Professional Investors, "Institutional Investors").
  2. The allocation of the Offering Shares (including the Additional Shares) between the Brazilian Offering and the International Offering will be defined according to the demand verified during the Bookbuilding Procedure, where the sum of the total Brazilian Offering Shares and

International Offering ADSs will not exceed the limit of 324,000,000 Offering Shares, with no possibility of partial distribution;

  1. As approved under the items 7.4.1 and 7.4.2 of the Offering's EGM, the price per Share ("Price per Share") will be set by the Board of Directors after the conclusion of the investment intention collection procedure to be carried out with Institutional Investors ("Bookbuilding Procedure"), having as parameter: (i) the quotation of the common shares issued by the Company on B3; (ii) the ADR listing on the NYSE and (iii) the indications of interest according to the quality and quantity of the demand (by volume and price) by the Shares through the Bookbuilding Procedure and to be approved by this Board of Directors, in due course. Under the International Offering, the price per Share in the form of ADRs will be equivalent to the Price per Share converted to United States dollars (US$), based on the selling exchange rate of that currency (PTAX) released by the Central Bank of Brazil on its website. Pursuant to article 170, paragraph 1, item III, of the Brazilian Corporation Law, the choice of the criterion for determining the Price per Share is justified by the fact that the Price per Share will be assessed according to the Bookbuilding Procedure, which reflects the value at which Institutional Investors will submit their investment intentions in the context of the Offer and the listing price of the Company's common shares on B3 and ADRs on NYSE, thus not promoting unjustified dilution of the Company's shareholders.
  2. The net proceeds from the Offering will be used to strengthen the Company's capital structure, expand its activities and/or make strategic investments.
  1. Approved the acts that the Company's Executive Board has practiced until the present date, solely and exclusively with the purpose of making the Offer and authorize the Company's Executive Board to: (a) to negotiate and execute all the necessary instruments for the accomplishment of the Offering, including the main documents mentioned below: (a.1) International Distribution Agreement; (a.2) Contract Placement; (a.3) Prospectus Supplement; (a.4) Offering Memorandum; (a.5) as well as all ancillary contracts necessary for the Offering, under the terms approved herein; (b) to take all actions and perform all acts necessary to implement the resolutions taken at this meeting, including, but not limited to, representing the Company before the CVM, the B3, ANBIMA, the New York Stock Exchange and the Securities and Exchange Commission, as may be required, for which purpose it may perform or cause to be performed any acts and/or negotiate, approve and sign any communications, notifications, certificates, documents or instruments it deems necessary or appropriate for the performance of the Offering.
  2. The Board Member Mr. José Osório declared his vote to abstain for the reasons presented in his vote at the Board of Directors' meeting held on December 16, 2021, when he expressed

his opposition to the decision to increase the capital.

  1. Documents Filed at the Company: The documents that supported the resolutions made by the members of the Board of Directors or that are related to information provided during the meeting are filed at the Company's headquarters.
  2. Closure: There being no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned and these Minutes were drawn up by electronic processing, which after being read and approved were signed by all Board Members present.

I certified that the above extract is a faithful transcription of an excerpt from the minutes drawn up

in the Book of Minutes of the Ordinary and Extraordinary Meetings of the Company's Board of

Directors.
