MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING

HELD ON OCTOBER 27, 2022

EXHIBIT I

Exhibit G to the CVM Resolution No. 80, dated March 29, 2022

Negotiation of Shares Issued by the Company

1. Justify in detail the purpose and the expected economic effects of the transaction:

The purpose of the Company's shares buyback program approved at the Board of Directors meeting held on October 27, 2022 ("October/2022 Program") is to maximize the generation of value for the shareholders, as it allows the Company to efficiently allocate capital, considering the profitability potential of its stock, to provide greater future returns to its shareholders. Additionally, the acquisition signals to the market the management's confidence in the Company's performance.

Regarding its economic effects, the October/2022 Program may generate to the shareholders, (i) an eventual higher return in dividends and/or interest on shareholders' equity, since the shares acquired by the Company are not entitled to receive dividends, so that dividends and/or interest on shareholders' equity will be paid for a smaller number of shares, and (ii) an eventual increase of the percentage of shareholders' interest in the Company, in the event of cancellation of shares held in treasury.

2. Inform the numbers of (i) free float stocks and (ii) stocks already held in treasury:

Based on the shareholding position as of September 30, 2022, the Company has: (i) 686,352,936 free float shares, according to the definition set forth in Section 67 of CVM Resolution No. 80, of March 29, 2022; and (ii) 51,911,569 shares of its own issuance held in treasury, representing approximately 7.6% of the total free float shares issued by the Company.

3. Inform the number of stocks that may be acquired or disposed of:

The Company may acquire, within the scope of the October/2022 Program, up to 20,000,000 common shares of its own issuance, always in accordance with the limit of shares held in treasury, pursuant to Section 9 of CVM Resolution No. 77, of March 29, 2022. The total of shares covered in the October/2022 Program represents approximately 2.9% of the total free float shares issued by the Company on September 30, 2022.

4. Describe the main features of the derivative instruments that the company will use, if any:

Not applicable, since the Company will carry out the transactions exclusively on the stock exchange, and will not make use of derivative instruments in this transaction.

5. Describe, if any, any existing voting agreements or guidelines between the company and the counterparty of the transactions:

Not applicable, since the Company will carry out the transactions exclusively on the stock exchange.

7. Inform, if any, the impacts that the negotiation will have on the composition of the shareholding control or the company's administrative structure:

Not applicable, since the Company does not foresee any significant impact of the concretization of the negotiations on the composition of the shareholding control or the Company's administrative structure.

8. Identify the counterparties, if known, and, in the case of a related party to the company, as defined by the accounting rules that deal with this subject, also provide the information required by art. 9 of CVM Resolution No. 81, dated March 29, 2022:

9. Indicate the allocation of the earned income, if any:

10. Indicate the maximum term for settlement of authorized transactions:

The final term to carry out the transaction is 18 months from the date of approval of the October/2022 Program by the Board of Directors (i.e., October 27, 2022), so that said term will expire on April 27, 2024 (inclusive).

11. Identify institutions that will act as intermediaries, if any:

The acquisition of the shares encompassed in the October/2022 Program will be intermediated by the following brokerage firms: (i) XP Investimentos CCTVM S.A.; (ii) Morgan Stanley CTVM S.A.; (iii) BTG Pactual Corretora de Títulos e Valores Mobiliários S.A.; (iv) J. P. Morgan CCVM S.A.; (v) Goldman Sachs do Brasil Corretora de Títulos e Valores Mobiliários S.A..; and (vi) Bradesco S.A. CTVM.

13. Specify the reasons why the members of the board of directors are comfortable that the stocks buyback will not jeopardize the fulfillment of obligations to creditors or the payment of mandatory, fixed or minimum dividends:

In the opinion of the Company's Board of Directors, the Company's financial situation is compatible with the acquisition of shares within the scope of the October/2022 Program, and no impact is expected on: (i) the fulfillment of obligations assumed by the Company with creditors; and (ii) the payment of mandatory dividends, fixed or minimum, in view of the Company's liquidity situation and cash generation.
