    • Assesses the Company's current and future development needs, in order to create an environment in which all people can thrive, in consonance with their individual career plans and needs and the Company's objectives;

  2. Compensation strategy

The Company applies the concept of Total Compensation, which comprises three pillars described below; each pillar is responsible for attracting and retaining talent, in line with the Company's strategy.

  • Fixed compensation: Refers to the monthly fixed compensation.
    For employees, this amount is defined by position levels, areas of expertise and professional maturity.
    To define the best fixed compensation practices for the positions it offers, the Company participates in salary surveys on a yearly basis.
    Monthly fixed salary amounts can be adjusted for merit (movement within the same salary grade) or promotion (movement to a higher salary grade).
    For members of the Executive Committee, the fixed component consists of a compensation made up of monthly payments per year.

INFORMAÇÃOPUBLICINTERNAINFORMATION- INTERNAL INFORMATION

HR AND COMPENSATION POLICY

For members of the Board of Directors, fixed compensation consists of a monthly fee and an additional fee for participation in advisory committees to the Board of Directors. For some external members of advisory committees to the Board of Directors, it consists of monthly fees. It is possible, however, that external members of certain committees are not entitled to any compensation.

Compensation of the members of the Company's Audit Committee, if and when set up, is made through monthly fees in accordance with the applicable legislation.

Interns are compensated through a "stipend" in accordance with the amount established by the Company and are, therefore, not eligible for fixed compensation.

  • Short-termincentive: Refers to recognition and reward for achieving and excelling Company goals, areas of expertise and individual goals, in line with the budget and strategic planning.
    For the Company's employees, the short-term incentive is reflected in profit-sharing programs, which are agreed upon between the staff's union and an in-house committee, on an annual basis.
    For Executive Committee members, the short-term incentive is distributed as a gratification, according to the Company's performance. Gratification amounts are also defined considering roles performed, relative performances, officers' responsibilities, and harmonization with international practices.
    This compensation component may be reduced on an exceptional basis, should the Company's Recovery Plan need to be adopted in accordance with the criteria provided for in the internal rules.

HR AND COMPENSATION POLICY

Specifically in the case of BSM, the targets within the scope of corporate objectives for the purpose of short-term incentives reflect BSM's main challenges and are not linked to any B3 corporate index.

Members of the Board of Directors are not entitled to short-term incentive.

  • Long-termincentive: Refers to a long-term incentive program ("ILP") which, by granting restricted B3 shares, seeks to strengthen retention of employees and statutory officers, align shareholders' interests in creating value for the business and encourage responsible and sustainable decision-making over time. The ILP is granted every year, with a four-year total duration, as provided for in the Company's Share Grant Plan following the restricted share model and including a discretionary component that aims to reward above-expectation performances, when necessary.
    For the Board of Directors, the long-term component is also based on the granting of shares, subject to the terms of the Company's Share Grant Plan. The long-term component of directors' compensation is not linked to any Company or individual performance metrics.
    External members of advisory committees to the Board of Directors are not entitled to receive long-term incentive.
    Specifically in the case of BSM, the long-term incentive is not linked to B3's results and does not involve securities issued by it, consisting of payments made in national currency. The long-term incentive program structured for BSM aims to retain employees and encourage responsible and sustainable decision-making over time. The program is granted annually with a total duration of 4 years, subject to price adjustment by the IPCA rate, with the aim of differentiating performances, aligning with market practices and deferring compensation in the long term.
    Specifically in the case of B3 Social and other associations, the long-term incentive is not applicable.
