TRADING IN OWN SHARES

1. Describe the operation's purpose and expected economic effects in detail:

The purpose of the Share Repurchase Program is to maximize the generation of value for the shareholder through efficient management of the capital structure, with the acquisition of common shares of its own issue, to be held in treasury or subsequent sale in the market and/or cancellation, without reducing the Company's capital stock, in compliance with the provisions of the article 30 of Law 6,404/76, and the rules set forth in CVM Instruction 567/2015.

  2. 6,489,405 common nominative shares without face value held as Treasury Stock.

3. Report the number of shares that may be acquired or divested:

4. Describe the main characteristics of the derivatives that the Company will employ, if any:

The Company will employ no derivatives for the operation.

5. Describe agreements or voting guidance, if any, between the Company and the operation's counterparty:

Not applicable because the acquisition of shares of the Company's equity stock will take place by means of stock exchange trades. Therefore, no agreements or vote guidance arrangements exist between the Company and its counterparties for the operation.

6. As concerns operations conducted outside of organized securities exchanges, report:

(a) The maximum (minimum) price at which the shares will be acquired (divested); and (b) Where applicable, the justification for trades over 10 (ten) percent higher for acquisitions, or over 10(ten) percent lower for divestments, than the average quote weighted by volume in the 10 (ten) previous days that the stock exchange is open for trading;

Not applicable because the acquisition of shares of the Company's equity stock will not take place outside of organized securities exchanges.

7. Report the impacts, if any, of the trades on the entity's ownership or management structure:

The shares eventually acquired may remain in treasury, be sold in the market and/or cancelled, without reducing the Company's capital stock, in accordance with article 30 of Law 6,404/76 and CVM Instruction 567/15. Furthermore, in the event that the Company decide to sell shares, as permitted by the program, the proceeds will be allocated to the Company's operations.

10. Indicate the maximum period for settlement of the authorized operations:

The deadline for settling the authorized operations is 18 months, that is, within the period from January 13, 2022 to July 13, 2023 (including the initial and final dates).

11. Identify the intermediating institutions, if any:

13. Specify the reasons why the members of the Board of Directors are comfortable that the share repurchase will not affect honoring obligations with creditors or the payment of required - fixed or minimum - dividends:

The members of the Board of Directors understand that the Company's financial standing is compatible with execution of the Share Repurchase Program as approved, and believe that the share repurchase will not affect honoring obligations with creditors or the payment of minimum required dividend s. This finding arises from analysis of the potential financial amount to be used for the purposes of the Program compared with (i) the level of obligations with creditors, as the Company has the capacity to settle its financial obligations; and (ii) the unrestricted amount at hand as cash, cash equivalents and financial investments of the Company.
