Remote Voting
The Company’s shareholders may, in the cases provided for by CVM Instruction No. 481, as well as in other general meetings in which the Company decides to adopt the remote voting form, vote on the matters of said meetings, by completing and sending their voting instruction to the Remote Voting Form attached to the meeting’s Manual.
The Remote Voting Form must:

- be sent to the Company by 7 (seven) days prior to the date of the general meeting. Any voting forms sent after this period will not be considered.
Once the remote voting deadline has expired, shareholders may not change their voting instructions already sent, except if in person, or by means of a legally constituted proxy, at the actual meeting before the matters on the agenda have been put to vote.
As for the formalities required for the acceptance of the Remote Voting Form, the following documents must be sent to the Company’s headquarters, to the attention of the Investor Relations team:
