NIRE 35.300.323.416

NOTICE TO THE MARKET

CADE approves with no restrictions the acquisition of TPC by the subsidiary JSL

SIMPAR S.A. ("SIMPAR"), (B3:SIMH3), a publicly held company, in compliance with Instruction 358/2002 of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission ("CVM") and article 157, paragraph

4, of Law 6,404/1976 hereby informs its shareholders and the market in general that its subsidiary, JSL S.A. ("JSL" or "Company"), (B3:JSLG3), received from the Conselho de Defesa Economica - CADE the approval with no restrictions for the acquisition of Pronto Express Logística S.A. ("TPC") by JSL ("Transaction").

The Acquisition provides more diversification to JSL's revenue with the entry into the health and pharmaceutical sector and contributes to the mix of services, since it adds scale to the storage and distribution services. Jointly, JSL and TPC will be responsible for managing approximately 1,000,000 m2 of dedicated and multi-client warehouses located in 24 states in Brazil and for 56 thousand deliveries per day in urban distribution. In line with JSL's strategic planning, the combination provides even more resilience to revenue and improved results, given the long-term profile of the contracts, the opportunities for operational synergies and the cross selling arising from the complementarity of services and the customer portfolio.

TPC adds scale to our warehouse and in-house inventory management operations and integrated distribution management - fullcommerce - and brings a proprietary and state-of-the-art technology. Founded in 2001, TPC has about 5,000 employees and operates based on an asset-light model, focusing on the operation of third-party bonded or non-bonded warehouses. In 2019, TPC was elected Best Logistics Operator by OTM and ABOL, Brazilian Association of Logistics Operators.

Combining the acquisitions made in the last six months with TPC and Rodomeu, which are still in process of closing after the recent approvals by CADE, JSL will add, in annualized unaudited numbers of 2020, about R$ 1.1 billion of incremental Net Revenue. The acquisitions demonstrate the execution capacity and discipline of JSL's acquisition strategy, which seeks to diversify its service portfolio, return on investment and the quality of the team in managing the business and providing services to customers.

JSL and SIMPAR will keep its shareholders and the market informed about the subsequent facts related to the transaction in accordance with the law and CVM regulation.

São Paulo, March 26, 2021.
