Dear Officer,

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

We also point out that, by order of the Superintendence of Corporate Relations, under its legal attributions, based on Article 9, item II of Law 6,385/76 and on CVM Resolution No. 47/21, shall be responsible for imposing a penalty, without prejudice to other administrative sanctions, in the amount of R$1,000.00 (one thousand reais) for failure to comply with the requirements contained in this official letter, which must be responded exclusively by email until by 31.01.2023."

With respect to the news mentioned above, we hereby confirm that the Company has engaged Laplace Finanças and clarify that the purpose of this engagement is to assist the Company in the analysis of financial strategies, especially those seeking to improve its capital structure.

In this regard, the Company understands that the recent hiring of Laplace Finanças under the terms described above would not constitute a material fact, in accordance with the current applicable legislation.

These are the clarifications we have in connection with the Official Letter, and we remain at your disposal for any further clarification.
