Reserves are constituted by the allocation of the Company’s profits, after the allocation for the payment of the minimum mandatory dividends and after the allocation to the various profit reserves, as set forth below:

(i)Legal: measured based on 5% (five percent) of the net profit of each fiscal year as specified in Article 193 of Brazilian Law No.6,404/76, which shall not exceed 20% (twenty percent) of the share capital, whereas in the year in which the balance of the legal reserve plus the capital reserve amounts exceeds 30% (thirty percent) of the share capital, the allocation of part of the profit will not be mandatory. The use of this reserve is restricted to loss compensation and capital increases, and aims to ensure the integrity of the share capital. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the balance of this reserve is R$1,404,099 (R$235,019 as at December 31, 2021).
(ii)Capital increase: measured on the basis of up to 90% (ninety percent) of the remaining balance of the net income for the year, limited to 80% (eighty percent) of the share capital, pursuant to the Company’s bylaws, after the allocation to the legal reserve and minimum mandatory dividends. The constitution of this reserve aims to ensure the Company has adequate operating conditions. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the balance of this reserve is R$19,732,050 (R$2,513,663 as of December 31, 2021).
(iii)Special statutory: measured on the basis of up to 10% (ten percent) of the remaining balance of net income for the year, and aims to ensure the continuity of the semiannual distribution of dividends, up to the limit of 20% (twenty percent) of the share capital.

(iv)Tax incentives: it is measured as specified in Article 195-A of Brazilian Law No. 6,404/76, modified by Brazilian Law No. 11,638/07 and based on a proposal by the management bodies, it will allocate the portion of net income arising from donations or government grants for investment, which are excluded from the calculation basis of the mandatory dividend.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the balance of this reserve is R$879,278 (R$812,909 as of at December 31, 2021).
