In light of the aforementioned, we request a statement on the veracity of the news and, if confirmed to be true, we request explanations on the reasons why the company understood it should not have been treated as a material fact, as well as to provide additional information that it may deem relevant on the matter.
  2. We highlight that, pursuant to Article 3 of CVM Resolution No. 44/21, the Investor Relations Officer is responsible for reporting to the CVM and, as applicable, to the stock exchange and organized over-the-counter market entities in which the company's securities are traded, any material facts or acts that occurred or are related to its business, as well as ensuring its wide and immediate dissemination, simultaneously in all markets where the Company's securities are admitted to trading.
