Shareholders whose shares are not deposited with a central depository can transmit their voting instructions to the Company's Bookkeeping Agent, Itaú Corretora de Valores S.A., through the channels provided by it. The delivery of the Distance Voting Ballot will be subject to the rules, guidelines and deadlines set by each custody agent or the Bookkeeping Agent, as the case may be.

3.MANAGEMENT'S PROPOSAL

The Company's Management submits to the Meeting the proposals described below.

I. Approval of the proposal to split the common shares issued by the Company, whereby each share issued by the Company will be split into 5 (five) shares of the same type, without changing the amount of the Company's current capital stock, with the consequent amendment to the caput of Articles 4 and 5 of the Company's Bylaws to reflect the new number of shares of capital stock and of the increase of the authorized capital, as well as the capital increase approved by the Board of Directors on June 1, 2021, and without changing the number of the Company's American Depositary Receipts ('ADRs'), which will correspond to five (5) common shares issued by the Company.

The Company's management proposes the split of all common shares issued by the Company, whereby each share issued by the Company will be split into five (5) shares of the same type, with no change in the Company's current capital stock and in the shareholders' interest in its capital.

If the split is approved, the Company's capital stock will be divided into one billion, three hundred and forty-six million, four hundred and ninety-nine thousand, two hundred and ninety-five (1,346,499,295) registered, book-entry common shares with no par value (considering also the capital increase approved on July 27th. 2021 by the Board of Directors).

Even though it was stated in the Call Notice that Article 4 would be amended to reflect the new number of shares of the capital stock as a result of the split and the capital increase approved by the Board of Directors on June 1st, 2021, considering that it was approved a new capital increase by the Board of Directors on July 27, 2021, this proposal is also considering this new capital increase in the wording of article 4 of the Company's bylaws in order to have the most updated and complete information, and it does not represent any loss to the shareholders and/or their decision about the split.

The purpose of the split is to increase the liquidity of the Company's common shares in the market, considering that a larger number of outstanding common shares potentially generates an increase in business, as well as to enable an adjustment in the quotation of the Company's shares, making the price per share more attractive and accessible to a larger number of investors.

The record date for the stock split at B3 will be August 11, 2021, and the shares will be traded ex-dividend at B3 as of August 12, 2021, inclusive.

There will be no change in the number of the Company's ADRs. However, the ADR program will be altered so that each ADR will correspond to five (5) common shares issued by the Company.

9

The common shares resulting from the split will fully entitle their holders to the same rights and advantages of the currently existing shares, including dividends, interest on equity and bonuses.

Consequently, in order to reflect the aforementioned proposal, the management also proposes that the wording of the caput of articles 4 and 5 of the Company's Bylaws be approved, as per the comparative table of the Bylaws in Attachment 1 of this Proposal.

II. Approval of the consolidation of the Company's Bylaws so as to incorporate the above changes

Subject to the approval of the deliberations in the previous items, we propose that the Company's Bylaws be consolidated to reflect the changes proposed in the previous item.

Pursuant to CVM Instruction 481, the origin and justification of each proposed amendment to the Company's Bylaws and the analysis of its legal and economic effects are detailed in Attachment 1 of this Proposal and the proposed amendments to the Company's Bylaws are highlighted in Attachment 2 of this Proposal.
