INFORMATION ON THE MATTERS TO BE RESOLVED IN THE

EXTRAORDINARY SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING

Please find below detailed information on the matters that will be resolved in the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting on April 17, 2024.

The minimum quorum required to call the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting to order on first call will be two thirds (2/3) of voting stock, as provided in Article 135, caput of the Corporations Act. If that statutory quorum is not met, the Company will announce a new date for the Annual and Special Shareholders' Meeting, on second call, when the Meeting may be called to order with the presence of any number of shareholders.

EXTRAORDINARY SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING

As provided for in the letter sent to the Company on February 29th, 2024, shareholder Organon Master FIA has proposed the exclusion of the poison pill clause from the Company´s Bylaws (notably article 45 of the Bylaws).

According to the proponent, said exclusion is justified by the fact that in light of Valid´s current shareholder base it is not clear which benefits the clause can bring to the shareholders, while it also makes it difficult for investors to become reference shareholders of the Company when it comes to long-term investment commitment. Furthermore, the proponent has highlighted that the price per share stipulated by the poison pill clause (which should be offered by the shareholder that reached the percentage set forth in the clause) "is overly burdensome for a potential third- party acquirer - even when compared to customary practices in other publicly traded companies that adopt similar provisions".

Having concluded that the proponent fills the requirement posed by item 'c' of the sole paragraph of article 123 of Law No. 6,404, of December 15, 1976, as adjusted by article 2 of CVM Resolution No. 70, of March 22, 2022, the Board of Directors resolved to submit the proposal hereby formulated to your esteemed consideration, in the following terms:

Based on the justifications provided by the proponent, it is proposed to exclude article

45 of the Company's Bylaws, and, due to the proposed exclusion thereof:

  1. to exclude article 46 of the Bylaws, whose sole purpose is to regulate the procedure for preparing the appraisal report referred to in article 45;
