Additionally, Caixa de Previdência dos Funcionários do Banco do Brasil - PREVI, pursuant to article 161, paragraph 4, item "a", of Law No. 6,404/76 informed the Company's management that it will

appoint for the position of members of the Fiscal Council:

  • (i) by reelection, Mr. Vinicius Balbino Bouhid, Brazilian citizen, single, engineer, bearer of Identity Card RG No. 029.562.824 - DETRAN/RJ, enrolled with the CPF/ME under No. 667.460.867/04, resident and domiciled in the City of Rio de Janeiro, State of Rio de Janeiro, to take office as an effective member of the Company's Fiscal Council; and

We clarify that, under the terms of article 10 of CVM Ruling 481/09, the information referring to the candidates nominated as members of the Fiscal Council of the Company listed above are further detailed in Exhibit A.III of this Management Proposal.

4. Establishment of the global compensation of the managers and members of the Fiscal Council for year 2021.

We propose that the global compensation of the managers for the year 2021 (that is, between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021) be established in the global amount of up to R$ 123,529,137.63.

According to the CVM guidance (item 3.4.6 of Circular-Notice/CVM/SEP/No. 01/2021 - "Circular

Notice"), the global amount of managers' compensation to be approved in the Ordinary Shareholders'

Meeting according to article 152 of Law No. 6,404/76 must include, besides the fixed compensation and short-term variable of the managers, the expenses relating to the recognition of the fair value of the call options and/or the shares that the Company intends to grant in the fiscal year. We stress that, therefore, in the global amount of managers' compensation are included (i) the expenses associated with the recognition of the fair value of the stick options the Company intends to grant in this fiscal year based on the Stock Option Plan, dated as of June 30, 2013; and (ii) the expenses associated with the recognition of the fair value of the share-based compensation the Company intends to enforce in this fiscal year based on the Share-Based Compensation Plan, dated as of April 29, 2016, as amended on April 24, 2020, in both cases with accounting, and not financial, effects set forth in CPC 10. Additionally, according to the understanding of the CVM Collegiate body in the Proceeding No. 19957.007457/2018-10, included in the Circular Notice, the overall compensation of the management must be net of employer's payroll charges, which are not covered by the definition of "benefit of any kind" set forth in article 152 of Law No. 6,404/76. For comparative purposes, this year's payroll charges were separately disclosed by the Company in item 13.16 of Exhibit A.IV to this Proposal.

As far as the global compensation of the Fiscal Council is concerned, for the year 2021 (that is, between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021), we propose the establishment of the global amount of up to R$ 1,845,504.00, with the compensation of the alternate members corresponding to half of the amount received by the effective members, which is in compliance with Law No. 6,404/76.

We inform that the amounts paid as global compensation attributed to the managers and members of the Fiscal Council of the Company for the year 2020 were, respectively, R$ 68,616,298.58 and R$ 2,059,972.00. Such amounts are inferior to the limits approved by the Annual Shareholders' Meeting held on April 24, 2020, of R$ 111,079,130.00 for the managers and R$ 2,162,700.00 for the members of the Fiscal Council. The difference verified between the limits approved by the Ordinary

Shareholders' Meeting of the Company on April 24, 2020 and the amounts actually paid as per the global compensation attributed to the managers is justified, mainly, due to the variable component of the compensation, which is linked to specific performance goals of the managers and the Company, that were not entirely met.

Please note that the information required for the necessary analysis of the proposal of compensation of the managers and the Fiscal Council, as provided in article 12 of CVM Ruling 481/09, is set forth in Exhibit A.IV to this Management Proposal, more specifically in items 13.1 and 13.4.

  • B. Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting:

  • 5. Amendment of the Company's Bylaws to:

We propose that the Company's Bylaws be amended, as detailed in Exhibit B.I to this Proposal, in order to:

(a) amend the heading of article 2 to reflect the change in the management body responsible for deciding on the opening, maintenance and closure of branches, offices, deposits or representation agencies of the Company;

The Management proposes that the Chief Financial and Investor Relations Officer jointly with the Legal Vice President Officer become responsible for deciding on the opening, maintenance and closure of branches, offices, deposits or representation agencies, anywhere in Brazil or abroad, as a replacement to the Board of Directors, as detailed in Exhibit B.I to this Proposal.
