NOTICE TO THE MARKET

CANCELLATION OF THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

OF 31.08.2020

DURATEX S.A. ("Duratex" or "Company") hereby advises its shareholders, and the market in general, that the Senior Board of Directors has met on this date and determined to cancel the Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM") scheduled for August 31, the object of which was the re-ratification of the number of sitting members on the Board of Directors elected at the OGM of 30.04.2020, and the election of a new independent member for the current annual term.

The cancellation of the said EGM follows receipt of advice by a company specializing in market analysis (proxy voting) suggesting that the candidate nominated by the Controlling Shareholders does not present all of the prerequisites for formal independence.

Although the previously nominated candidate retains both the impeccable qualifications and requisite experience needed to fulfill the role, the Controlling Shareholders, respecting contrary opinions, has opted to seek an alternative candidate who unequivocally fulfils all the formal requirements of an independent member, with a view to re-establishing the minimum 30% of independent members previously adopted by the Company.

Thus, all edicts of the prior convocation to attend the EGM published in the "Diário Oficial do Estado de São Paulo" and in the newspaper "O Estado de S.Paulo", in the editions 4, 5 and 6 of August, 2020, are hereby annulled and invalidated, as are those in the Participation Manual and the Administration Proposal, issued on July 31, 2020.

The Company advises that, in due course, a new Extraordinary General Meeting will be called, to deliberate this matter, in keeping with current legislation.

São Paulo (SP), August 13, 2020.

Carlos Henrique Pinto Haddad

Director of Investor Relations
