PCAOB. A review of interim financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons
responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards
of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly,
we do not express such an opinion.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">In December 2021, the Organization
for Economic Co-operation and Development (&#8220;OECD&#8221;) released the Pillar Two model rules to reform international corporate taxation.
Multinational economic groups within the scope of these rules are required to calculate their effective tax rate in each country where
they operate, the &#8220;GloBE effective tax rate&#8221;.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">When the effective GloBE rate of
any entity in the economic group, aggregated by jurisdiction where the group operates, is lower than the minimum rate defined at 15%,
the multinational group must pay a supplementary amount of tax on profit, referring to the difference between its rate effective GloBE
and the minimum tax rate.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">The Company is subject to OECD Pillar
Two model rules in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Indonesia, Japan, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Netherlands, Singapore, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
Therefore, the impacts from Pilar Two are already being considered on the calculation of income tax for these jurisdictions.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">However, the Company does not expect
material impacts on the calculation of income tax or on the financial statements for the current and future periods, from the application
of the Pillar Two rules currently in effect.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">The Company applied the relief from
the requirement to recognize and disclose deferred taxes arising from enacted or substantively enacted tax law that implements the Pillar
Two model rule, according to IAS 12 &#8211; Income taxes.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">Income tax expense is recognized
based on the estimate of the weighted average effective tax rate expected for the full year, adjusted for the tax effect of certain items
that are recognized in full on the interim tax calculation. Therefore, the effective tax rate in the interim financial statements may
differ from management&#8217;s estimate of the effective tax rate for the year. The reconciliation of the taxes calculated according
to the nominal tax rates and the amount of taxes recorded is shown below:&nbsp;</P>

to a request from the Ministry of Transportation, Vale, the National Land Transport Agency (&#8220;ANTT&#8221;), and the Brazilian Federal
Government, resumed discussions on the general conditions for concession contracts and on December 30, 2024, the general basis for the
renegotiation were agreed, aiming to promote the modernization and update of the existing contracts. This process was subject to evaluation
and approval by the competent authorities, and its conformation would occur through a consensual solution discussed with the bodies involved
at the Brazilian Federal Accounts Court.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">As part of these general bases, Vale
committed to a maximum global contribution of approximately <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">US$1,809, </FONT>for the EFC and EFVM&#8217;s
asset base review, the optimization of contractual obligations and investments replanning.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">As a consequence of the new conditions
of the general bases, the Company recognized, on December 31, 2024, an addition of US$256 in provision, which reflected the revised estimates
regarding the amount of future disbursements required to fulfill the new contractual obligations of the railway concessions. Additionally,
the liability was reduced by US$656 due to the advanced payment made by Vale, ahead of the previously planned cash flow.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">However, on August 28, 2025, within
the context of the consensual solution conducted by the Brazilian Federal Accounts Court, the parties were unable to reach consensus within
the established deadline.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">Despite ongoing discussions, the
concession contracts remain in effect, the Company continues to comply with the established obligations, and remains committed to the
general terms defined in the agreement signed on December 30, 2024. The Company believes its provisions remain sufficient to comply with
the obligations related to the concessions; therefore, no revision was made in its balances.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">In March 2025, the Company signed
a binding agreement with Global Infrastructure Partners (&#8220;GIP&#8221;) for the sale of 70% of its stake in Alian&ccedil;a and the
energy assets of Sol do Cerrado solar plant and Risoleta Neves hydroelectric plant.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">As a result, the related assets and
liabilities were classified as held for sale and Vale recognized an impairment loss in the amount of US$117 in the income statement for
the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 as &quot;Impairment and gains (losses) on disposal of non-current assets, net&quot;, which
was allocated to the goodwill (note 16) arising from the acquisition of Alian&ccedil;a.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">In September 2025, the energy assets
of Sol do Cerrado solar plant and Risoleta Neves hydroelectric plant were transferred from Vale S.A. to Alian&ccedil;a and, the Company
concluded the transaction for the amount of US$871, comprised by a cash inflow of US$1,006, net of a reduction of US$135 in the remaining
investment in Alian&ccedil;a due to a loan assumed by the investee in the context of the transaction.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">As a result of the transaction, Vale
recognized a loss of US$89 in the income statement for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025 as &quot;Impairment and gains (losses)
on disposal of non-current assets, net&quot;, and lost control over Alian&ccedil;a. Consequently, the Company will no longer consolidate
Alian&ccedil;a, with the remaining interest accounted for as an associate by the equity method.</P>

a joint venture with AP Oryx Holdings LLC (&#8220;Apollo&#8221;) through a binding agreement to sell 50% equity interest in VODC for US$600
million. The transaction was completed in September 2024, reducing Vale&#8217;s stake in VODC from 100% to 50% and changing its status

Vale in 2.1%, and (ii) by the direct sale of 8.4% of Vale&#8217;s shares to MIND ID. As a result of the transaction, MIND ID became PTVI's
largest shareholder, holding approximately 34.0% of the issued shares, with the Company and SMM holding approximately 33.9% and 11.5%,
respectively. The completion of the transaction satisfied a key condition for PTVI to extend its mining license until 2035, with potential

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">In January 2019, a tailings dam (&#8220;Dam
I&#8221;) experienced a failure at the C&oacute;rrego do Feij&atilde;o mine, in the city of Brumadinho, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil.
The failure released a flow of tailings debris, destroying some of Vale&#8217;s facilities, affecting local communities and disturbing
the environment. The tailings released have caused an impact of around 315 km in extension, reaching the nearby Paraopeba River. The dam
failure in Brumadinho (&#8220;event&#8221;) resulted in 270 fatalities or presumed fatalities, including two pregnant women, and caused
extensive property and environmental damage in the region.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">As a result of the dam failure, the
Company recognized provisions to meet its assumed obligations, including indemnification to those affected by the event, remediation of
the impacted areas and compensation to the society. In addition, the Company has incurred expenses, which have been recognized straight
to the income statement, in relation to tailings management, communication services, humanitarian assistance, payroll, legal services,
water supply, among others.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">On February 4, 2021, the Company
entered into a Judicial Settlement for Integral Reparation (&#8220;Global Settlement&#8221;), which was under negotiations since 2019,
with the State of Minas Gerais, the Public Defender of the State of Minas Gerais and the Federal and the State of Minas Gerais Public
Prosecutors Offices, to repair the environmental and social damage resulting from the Dam I rupture. As a result of the Global Settlement,
the requests for the reparation of socioenvironmental and socioeconomic damages caused by the dam failure were substantially resolved.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">The Global Settlement includes: (i)
payment obligations, of which the funds will be used directly by the State of Minas Gerais and Institutions of Justice for socioeconomic
and socioenvironmental compensation projects; (ii) socioeconomic projects in Brumadinho and other municipalities; and (iii) compensation
of the environmental damage caused by the dam failure. These obligations are projected for an average period of 5 years.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">In addition, the Global Settlement
addresses the diffuse and collective socioeconomic damages resulting from the disaster, with the exception of supervening damages, individual
damages and homogeneous individual damages of a divisible nature, in accordance with the claims of the lawsuits not extinguished by the
Global Settlement.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">For the measures described in items
(i) and (ii), the amounts are specified in the Global Settlement. For the execution of the environmental recovery, actions have no cap
limit, despite having been estimated in the Global Settlement due to the Company's legal obligation to fully repair the environmental
damage caused by the dam failure. Therefore, although Vale is monitoring this provision, the amount recorded could materially change depending
on several factors that are not under the Company&#8217;s control.</P>

Vale and the Public Defendants of the State of Minas Gerais formalized an agreement on April 5, 2019, under which those affected by the
Brumadinho&#8217;s dam failure may join an individual or family group out-of-court settlement agreements for the indemnification of material,
economic and moral damages. This agreement establishes the basis for a wide range of indemnification payments, which were defined according

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">In Brazil, Vale is a defendant in
one arbitration filed by 385 minority shareholders and three arbitrations filed by foreign investment funds. Vale was also a defendant
in two arbitrations filed by a class association allegedly representing all Vale&#8217;s noncontrolling shareholders, which were dismissed
in August 2024.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">In the four ongoing proceedings,
the claimants argue that Vale was aware of the risks associated with the dam and failed to disclose it to its shareholders. Based on such
argument, they claim compensation for losses caused by the decrease in share price.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">The expectation of loss is classified
as possible for the four procedures and, considering the initial phase, it is not possible at this time to reliably estimate the amount
of a possible loss.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">In one of the proceedings filed by
foreign legal entities, the Claimants initially estimated the amount of the alleged losses would be approximately US$330 (R$1,800 million),
subject to interest and monetary adjustments. In another proceeding filed by foreign legal entities, the Claimants initially estimated
the amount of the alleged losses would be approximately US$715 (R$3,900 million), subject to interest and monetary adjustments. In the
procedure presented by minority shareholders, the applicants estimated the alleged losses at approximately US$550 (R$3,000 million), subject
to interest and monetary adjustments, which could be increased later, as alleged by the applicants.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">The Company disagrees with the ongoing
proceedings and understands that, in this case and at the current stage of the proceedings, the probability of loss in the amount claimed
by the claimants is remote.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">In November 2015, the Fund&atilde;o
tailings dam owned by Samarco Minera&ccedil;&atilde;o S.A. (&#8220;Samarco&#8221;) experienced a failure, flooding certain communities
and impacting communities and the environment along the Doce River. The dam failure resulted in 19 fatalities and caused property and

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/12pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">Thus, Vale, Samarco, and BHPB entered

establishing the creation of socioenvironmental and socioeconomic programs aimed at adopting measures for mitigation, remediation, and
compensation of damages. However, the requirements established reparation measures in the agreements could not be fully implemented within
the established period, and the involved parties began initiated further negotiations to seek a definitive agreement for the resolution
of all obligations related to the dam collapse.</P>

discuss and determine the amount of damages, scheduled to begin in October 2026 and is expected to last 22 weeks. On the first week of

-</B></FONT> <FONT STYLE="color: #242424">In March 2024, a court in Amsterdam granted a preliminary injunction freezing the shares in
Vale Holdings B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in the Netherlands, and the economic rights attached to those shares, in guarantee
of an amount of approximately US$1,124 (EUR955 million). The freezing orders were issued in anticipation of a legal action to be brought
against Vale by certain Brazilian municipalities and an organization that represents individuals and small businesses that claim to have
been affected by the collapse of Samarco&#8217;s Fund&atilde;o dam in 2015. With the adherence of three municipalities (Iapu, Ponte Nova
and Rio Casca) to the Definitive Settlement, their lawsuit was discontinued, with the attachment being reduced to US$877 (EUR745.4 million).
In July 2025, a case management conference was held to establish the procedural timeline. The Court has decided that the proceedings
will be divided into 3 stages: (i) for the exam of the Court&#8217;s jurisdiction on the case; (ii) if accepted the jurisdiction, the
general exam of the companies&#8217; liability defenses, (iii) if accepted the companies&#8217; liability, a third stage trial will be
held to assess the individual damages of the claimants. Vale&#8217;s deadline is currently ongoing to present its jurisdiction application,
and a hearing is expected to be held in 2026.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 11pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0 0 10pt; color: #007E7A"><B>d) Judicial reorganization of Samarco</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">In April 2021, Samarco filed
for Judicial Reorganization (&#8220;JR&#8221;) with the Courts of Minas Gerais to renegotiate its debt, which was held by
bondholders abroad. The purpose of JR was to restructure Samarco&#8217;s debts and establish an independent and sustainable
financial position, allowing Samarco to keep working to resume its operations safely and to fulfill its obligations for mitigation,
remediation, and compensation of damages.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">In May 2023, Vale S.A. entered into
a binding agreement jointly with BHPB, Samarco and certain creditors which hold together more than 50% of Samarco's debt, setting the
parameters of Samarco&#8217;s debt restructuring to be implemented through a consensual restructuring plan, which was approved by the
creditors, submitted to the JR Court in July 2023, and confirmed by the judge in September 2023.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">In December 2023, Samarco&#8217;s
existing US$4.8 billion financial debt held by creditors was exchanged for approximately US$3.9 billion of long-term unsecured debt, bearing
interest from 2023 to 2031.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">After the execution of the plan, Samarco
has a lean capital structure, in line with its operational ramp-up and cash flow generation. The plan considers the fund for the reparation
and compensation programs capped at US$1 billion from 2024 to 2030, of which US$365 has already been incurred, and additional contributions
after that period due to the Samarco&#8217;s projected cash flows generation.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">In August 2025, Samarco's judicial
reorganization process was concluded by decision of the 2nd Business Court of the District of Belo Horizonte, with a favorable opinion
from the Public Prosecutor's Office of the State of Minas Gerais, which concluded that the judicial reorganization had fulfilled its
purpose. Samarco will continue to comply with the remaining obligations, in accordance with the terms and deadlines established.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt/120% Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 10pt 0; text-align: justify; color: #242424">The Company is subject to local laws
and regulations, that require the decommissioning of the assets that Vale operates at the end of their useful lives, therefore, expenses
related to the demobilization occur after the end of operational activities and throughout the life of operations through progressive
closures. These obligations are regulated in Brazil at the Federal and State levels by ANM (National Mining Agency) and Environmental
Agencies, respectively. Among the requirements, the closure plans must consider the physical, chemical and biological stability of the
areas and post-closure actions for the period necessary to verify the effectiveness of the decommissioning. These obligations are accrued
and are subject to critical estimates and assumptions applied to the measurement of costs by the Company. Depending on the geotechnical
characteristics of the structures, the Company is required to de-characterize the structures, as shown in item a) below.</P>
