2. CONDUCTION OF THE MEETING: Chairman: Sr. Christophe Hidalgo; Secretary: Sra. Aline Pacheco Pelucio.

3. CALL TO ORDER AND ATTENDANCE: The call was waived pursuant to paragraphs 1st and 2nd of Article 14 of the Company's Bylaws and Articles 7 and 8 of the Internal Regulation of the Company's Board of Directors. Attended the meeting the following members of the Board of Directors, Messrs. Arnaud Daniel Charles Walter Joachim Strasser, Marcelo Pimentel, Christophe Hidalgo, Eleazar de Carvalho Filho, Hervé Daudin, Luiz Augusto de Castro Neves and Renan Bergmann.

4.AGENDA: Considering the deliberations taken at the Board of Directors' meeting, held on March 4, 2024 ("BoD Meeting 04/03"), to assess and resolve on: (i) the setting and justification of the emission price per common share issued by the Company ("Shares"), carried out under the procedure of automatic registration of distribution, intended exclusively for professional investors, as defined by Article 26, item II, paragraph "a" of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission ("CVM") Resolution No. 160, of July 13, 2022, as amended, with placement efforts abroad ("Offering"); (ii) the increase of the Company's capital stock, within the limit of the Company's authorized capital, through the issuance of common shares, issued with the exclusion of the preemptive right of the Company's shareholders ("Shareholders"), pursuant to item I, Article 172, of Law No. 6,404, of December 15, 1976, as amended ("Brazilian Corporation Law") and Article 6 of the Company's Bylaws ("Preemptive Right"), and with the granting of the right of priority to the Shareholders, to subscribe for up to all of the Shares to be placed through the Offering, subject to the limit of the proportion of their interests in the Company's capital stock, in accordance with the procedures disclosed by the Company by means of a material fact, dated on March 4, 2024 ("Right of Priority"); and (iii) the homologation of the Company's capital stock increase.

5. RESOLUTIONS: The members of the Board of Directors decided, unanimously and without reservations, to approve:

(i)the setting of the issue price of R$ 3.20 (three reais and twenty cents) per Share, withing the scope of the Offering ("Price per Share"). The Price per Share was fixed upon completion of the investment intentions collection procedure, which will be carried out with Professional Investors (as defined in the BoD Meeting 04/03), in Brazil, by the Brazilian Placement Agents (as defined in the BoD Meeting 04/03), and abroad, with Foreign Investors (as defined in the BoD Meeting 04/03), by the International Placement Agents (as defined in the BoD Meeting) ("Bookbuilding Procedure"). The choice of the criteria for setting the Price per Share is justified, pursuant to Article 170, paragraph 1, item III, of the Brazilian Corporation Law, insofar as the market price of the Shares distributed was measured based on the parameters: (i) the price of the Company's common shares on B3; and (ii) indications of interest due to the quality and quantity of demand (by volume and price) for the Shares, collected from Professional Investors, within the scope of the Bookbuilding Procedure, thus not promoting unjustified dilution of the Company's shareholders;

(ii)considering the approval of the item (i) above, the increase of the Company's capital stock, within the limit of Company's authorized capital, in the amount of R$704,000,000.00 (seven hundred and four million reais), through the issuance of 220,000,000 (two hundred and twenty million) new Shares, which will increase from R$1,807,167,455.83 (one billion, one hundred and seven million, one hundred and sixty-seven thousand, four hundred and fifty-five reais and eighty-three cents), divided into 270,139,069 (two hundred and seventy million, one hundred and thirty-nine thousand and sixty-nine) common shares, to R$2,511,167,455.83 (two billion, five hundred and eleven million, one hundred and sixty-seven thousand, four hundred and fifty-five reais and eighty-three cents), divided into 490,139,069 (four hundred and ninety million, one hundred and thirty-nine thousand and sixty-nine) common shares, with the exclusion of the Preemptive Right and the granting of the Right of Priority. It is also stated that the new shares issued will have the same rights conferred on the other shares issued by the Company, under the terms of the Company's Bylaws and applicable legislation, being entitled to the full receipt of dividends and other proceeds of any nature that may be declared by the Company as of this date; and

(iii)homologate, as a result of the resolution taken in item (ii) above, the increase of the Company's capital in the amount of R$704,000,000.00 (seven hundred and four million reais), through the issuance of 220,000,000 (two hundred and twenty million) new common shares, all registered, book-entry and without par value.
