Janeiro, November 14, 2025 &ndash; Following previous communications<SUP>[1]</SUP>, Vale S.A. (&ldquo;Vale&rdquo; or the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;)
confirms that the English High Court has found BHP Group Ltd. and BHP Group UK Ltd. (together, &ldquo;BHP&rdquo;) liable under Brazilian
Law for the failure of the Fund&atilde;o dam, operated by Samarco Minera&ccedil;&atilde;o S.A. (&ldquo;Samarco&rdquo;), in 2015. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"><FONT STYLE="letter-spacing: -0.1pt">The decision
also confirmed the validity of waivers and releases signed by claimants already compensated in Brazil, which will reduce the number of
claimants and the value of the claims. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"><FONT STYLE="letter-spacing: -0.1pt">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"><FONT STYLE="letter-spacing: -0.1pt">In July
2024, Vale and BHP entered into a confidential agreement under which liability is shared equally for any amount that BHP (in the English

BHP remain confident that the Definitive Agreement signed in October 2024 in Brazil provides the quickest and most effective mechanisms
to compensate those impacted.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555">Subject to the outcome of any appeal by BHP
against the first-stage judgment, a second-stage trial, to determine whether BHP caused the losses claimed, and generic questions relating
to the quantum of those losses, is currently scheduled to start in October 2026 and run until Q2 2027. Following any decisions and appeals
in that stage, the amount of loss suffered by, and any damages due, to each claimant may be subject of a third-stage trial in due course.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555"><FONT STYLE="letter-spacing: -0.1pt">In October
2024, Samarco, BHP Billiton Brasil Ltda.<SUP>[3]</SUP>, and Vale entered into a comprehensive agreement of US$ 32 billion (R$170 billion)
with Brazilian authorities for the full and final settlement of key claims in Brazil related to the dam failure. The Definitive Agreement
provides for broad remediation of environmental and social impacts, including water sanitation, strengthening of the public health system,
economic recovery, improvement of local infrastructure, compensation for collective damages to Indigenous and Traditional Communities
and municipalities, as well as income support for the most vulnerable populations in the affected regions.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Vale Sans,sans-serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; color: #555555">Since 2015, Samarco, BHP Brasil and Vale have
allocated US$13 billion to remediation and compensation actions for affected individuals and Brazilian authorities. Of this amount, more
than US$ 6 billion has been paid in compensation and financial aid to at least 610,000 people, including approximately 240,000 claimants
in the UK Claim who have provided releases for related claims. Environmental remediation of the impacted areas is substantially advanced,
and reconstruction of the communities of Novo Bento Rodrigues and Paracatu has reached 98% completion.</P>

estimates an additional provision of approximately US$500 million in its financial statements as of December 31, 2025, for obligations
arising from the Fund&atilde;o dam failure. As of </FONT>September 30, 2025<FONT STYLE="color: #555555">, Vale had already recognized
