as well as, in the case of a legal entity or fund, copies of the identification document and minutes of election of the legal representative(s)

For this EGM, the Company will accept powers
of attorney granted by shareholders through electronic means, preferably signed using the ICP-Brazil certification.
In order to ensure the participation of shareholders,
the Company will not require certified copies or notarization, legalization/apostille, or registration with the Registry of Deeds (Registro
de Títulos e Documentos) of documents issued and signed in Brazilian territory or for those signed outside the country.
Furthermore, the Company will not require sworn
translation of documents that were originally drafted in Portuguese, French, English, or Spanish, or those accompanied by their respective
translation in these same languages. Sworn translations will be required in all other cases. The following identification documents will
be accepted, provided they have a photo and are valid: RG (identity card), RNE (foreigner's identification card), CNH (driver’s
license), passport, or officially recognized professional association cards.
If this Remote Voting Form is eventually sent
directly to the Company, and it is not fully completed or not accompanied by the supporting documents described above, it will be disregarded
and the shareholder will be informed through the email address indicated in this Remote Voting Form.
The Company does not have an electronic system
for receiving Remote Voting Forms (except for the receipt by email).
II. Sending of the Form to the Custodian
Agent or the Company´s Bookkeeping Agent: shareholders who hold shares issued by the Company deposited with a central depository
may transmit voting instructions for completion of the Remote Voting Form through their respective custody agents, if they provide such
service. Shareholders who do not have their shares deposited with a central depository may transmit voting instructions to the bookkeeping
agent of the Company, Itaú Corretora de Valores S.A. (“Itaú”), through the channels made available by
them. The submission of the Remote Voting Form will be subject to the rules, instructions, and deadlines established by each custody agent
or by Itaú, as the case may be. For this purpose, the shareholder must contact them and verify the procedures, documents, and information
established by them for issuing voting instructions through the Remote Voting Form.

means listed above and not the last day for it to be sent. If the Remote Voting Form is received after July 7, 2023, the votes will
not be considered.

81, the Company will inform the shareholder, within three (3) days from the date of receipt of this Remote Voting Form and the respective
required documentation, whether the documents received are sufficient or not for the vote to be considered valid.
The Company clarifies that conflicting voting
instructions will be disregarded, meaning those coming from the same shareholder who, in relation to the same resolution, has voted
in different directions in Remote Voting Forms delivered by different service providers. |
