By disclosing the information contained in this Material Fact notice, the Company reiterates its commitment to transparency towards its shareholders, investors and the market and will keep them adequately informed of any subsequent decision that results in a significant change in the Capex estimated for the year.

 

The Capex estimates shown here merely reflect the current estimates or expectations of the Company’s management, are subject to risks and uncertainties, and in no way constitute a promise of performance. These Capex estimates represent forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The terms “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “foresee”, “intend”, “plan”, “project”, “aim”, “should” and other similar terms are intended to identify these forecasts, which, involve risks or uncertainties foreseen or not by the Company. Information about business prospects, projections and financial targets merely represents forecasts based on the management’s current expectations regarding the future of the Company and its subsidiaries. These expectations depend on market conditions, as well as the economic scenario in Brazil and the countries in which the Company operates and the sectors in which it operates. Any change in the perception or the factors described above may cause actual results to differ from the estimates presented here.
