The Brazilian Central Bank requires financial institutions to maintain a Regulatory Capital (RC), Tier 1 Capital, and Common Equity Tier 1 Capital (CET1) that are compatible with the risks inherent in their activities, exceeding the minimum Required Regulatory Capital, represented by aggregating the credit risk, market risk, and operational risk components.

As established in CMN Resolution No. 4,958/2021, the Regulatory Capital requirement is set at 11.50%, comprising 8.00% of Minimum Regulatory Capital, 2.50% of Capital Conservation Buffer, and 1.00% of Systemic Risk Buffer. The Tier 1 Capital Ratio stands at 9.50%, and the Minimum Common Equity Tier 1 Capital is 8.00%. Continuing with the implementation of the rules set forth by CMN Resolution No. 4,955/2021, the calculation of capital adequacy ratios is conducted on a consolidated basis, utilizing data from the Prudential Conglomerate, as established by CMN Resolution No. 4,950/2021, demonstrated below:
