Director Mauro Gentile Rodrigues da Cunha abstained from voting on the overall management compensation in fiscal year 2024, because he understands that he did not have the opportunity to materially discuss the proposals of the People and Culture Committee, which were approved by the other members of the Board of Directors and display several opportunities for improvement. He also drew attention in particular to the excessive use of the EBITDA indicator, which does not adequately measure Klabin's performance, to the absence of discretionarity in leadership evaluation, opportunities for improvement in the evaluation process for Officers and the parameters of long-term compensation, including the (virtual) Share-Based Plan not approved at the General Meeting (ILP Performance), which - in his understanding - would be a best practice, among other points. Director Isabella Saboya de Albuquerque seconded Mr. Mauro's vote and comments.

  1. unanimously, to call to convene the Company's Annual and Extraordinary General Meeting, to be held April 16, 2024, authorizing Management to take all steps needed to call the General Meeting to convene; and
  2. by a majority vote, the Management Proposal for the Annual and Extraordinary General Meeting, whose agenda shall include: I. Take the managers' accounts, examine, discuss and vote on the Management Report and the Company's Financial Statements, accompanied by the Independent Audit Report and the Opinion of the Fiscal Council, referring to the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2023; II. Resolve on the allocation of the net income from the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2023; III. Set the number of seats on the Board of Directors for the next term; IV.

Resolve on the capital increase of the Company by means of bonus shares, as well as on the amendment to the Bylaws; and IX.

Director Mauro Gentile Rodrigues da Cunha voted against the allocation of net income, in line with statements entered into the minutes over the course of fiscal year 2023, given the Company's leverage degree and the potential to allocate funds to value-generating projects. Director Isabella Saboya de Albuquerque seconded Mr. Mauro.
