<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Rio de Janeiro, April 9<SUP>th</SUP>, 2021 - Vale
S.A. (&#8220;Vale&#8221;) announces that Samarco Minera&ccedil;&atilde;o S.A. (&#8220;Samarco&#8221; or &#8220;Company&#8221;), its joint
venture with BHP Billiton Brasil Ltda (&#8220;BHP Brasil&#8221;), today filed a petition for judicial reorganization (&quot;JR&quot;),
in one of the Commercial Courts of Belo Horizonte, State of Minas Gerais, pursuant to Brazilian Law 11.101/05 (Judicial and Extrajudicial
Reorganization and Bankruptcy Law - &quot;LRF&quot;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The JR filing is necessary to prevent legal actions
already underway &#8212; such as the enforcement action filed in Brazil with respect to promissory notes totaling US$ 325 million, and
actions filed in New York, USA, by bondholders of notes maturing in 2022, 2023 and 2024, all of which include requests to attach bank
accounts &#8212; from affecting Samarco's ability to produce, ship, receive for its exportations and to fund the normal course of its
activities, and also to comply with its obligations under the Transaction and Conduct Adjustment Term (TTAC), and, consequently, to generate
sustainable results for all stakeholders involved.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><B>Samarco makes the request for JR primarily
with the objective of preserving its recent resumption of operations, jobs and compliance with its socioenvironmental obligations. </B>The
JR establishes an organized environment to protect Samarco's assets and to restructure the high level of indebtedness in its capital structure.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><B>The JR filling does not and will not impact
the fulfillment of the reparation commitments made since the rupture of the Fund&atilde;o dam.</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Renova Foundation is responsible for the execution
of the reparation programs for socioenvironmental and socioeconomic impacts and, until February 2021, has paid compensation and emergency
aid to approximately 325,000 people. Since 2015, R$ 12.2 billion has been invested in reparation and compensation initiatives for affected
parties. For 2021, Renova's programs and actions are expected to amount to R$ 5.9 billion.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The JR process has the objective of restructuring
Samarco's liabilities, with the protections granted by the LRF. Upon acceptance by the presiding judge of the JR process, all actions
and executions brought by Samarco&#8217;s creditors in Brazil, with a few exceptions, are temporarily suspended for 180 days (extendable
for an equal period), and Samarco has up to 60 days to present a restructuring plan for its debts and other obligations. In addition,
Samarco will apply for recognition of the JR in the United States under Chapter 15 of the US Bankruptcy Code. Upon such recognition, Samarco
will automatically have the benefit of suspension of all legal actions against it and its assets in the United States.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">During the JR, Samarco will submit, in
compliance with the legal deadlines, for consideration at a meeting of the Company&#8217;s creditors, a judicial reorganization plan
that will provide a framework for reestablishing Samarco&#8217;s economic and financial balance and honoring the commitments made to
Samarco&#8217;s stakeholders, in order to simultaneously allow Samarco to comply with its socioenvironmental obligations and, in the
near future, resume a path of sustainable growth. The process will be concluded once the judicial reorganization plan is approved by
the majority of creditors legally established by the LRF and ratified by the competent Court.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">During the JR process, a judicial administrator
will be appointed by the presiding judge. The judicial administrator will be responsible for assisting the presiding judge in supervising
the work of Samarco's current management, which will continue to manage the Company on an exclusive basis.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">A large amount of Samarco's financial debt with
non-related parties of around US$ 4.7 billion, without any guarantee from the shareholders was incurred prior to the rupture of the Fund&atilde;o
dam in November 2015. Until August 2016, Samarco sought to honor its commitments and met its payment obligations to creditors. Samarco
also has financial debt in relation to cash needs to support its working capital, Renova obligations, reparation works, and investments
for operational resumption, which, since August 2016, have been supported by credit lines made available by its shareholders Vale and
BHP Brasil, totaling US$ 4.1 billion as of March 2021.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Soon after the Fund&atilde;o dam rupture, Samarco
sought an amicable negotiation with its creditors for a restructuring of its debt incurred through bonds and export prepayment contracts
(&quot;PPEs&quot;), which is now largely held by investors active in the distressed assets market after being acquired from the original
creditors. On November 27<SUP>th</SUP>, 2018, Samarco met with certain creditors in an attempt to reach a consensual restructuring, and
such meeting was followed by exchanges of proposals and counterproposals.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">In early 2019, negotiations slowed down following
relevant changes in dam regulations in Brazil, which forced Samarco to review its operating model, its resumption plan and, consequently,
its business plan. Last year, Samarco made efforts to resume out-of-court negotiations, through making technical due diligence on the
Company's complete operations plan and economic and financial data available to creditors, in addition to engaging with creditors&#8217;
financial and legal advisors. Nevertheless, a significant portion of the creditors adopted a litigious stance, bringing legal actions
in the United States last year, before the restart of Samarco&#8217;s operations, and, this year, enforcement actions in Brazil. Given
the refusal of creditors to temporarily suspend the legal actions during a new round of out-of-court negotiations, despite Samarco&#8217;s
willingness, the Company decided to file the JR in order to preserve its operational continuity and ability to meet its commitments.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">After years of significant efforts and investments
to ensure the safe return of its activities, Samarco&#8217;s operations restarted in December 2020 with the resumption of one of its three
concentrators for iron ore beneficiation at the Germano Complex, located in Mariana, Minas Gerais, and one of the four pellet plants at
the Ubu Complex, located in Anchieta, Esp&iacute;rito Santo, totaling a production capacity of 7-8 Mtpy of iron ore pellets.</P>

its commitment to the reparation of damage caused by the rupture of the Fund&atilde;o dam and the importance of the sustainability of
Samarco's recently restarted operations.</P>
