<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Covid-19 pandemic continues to impact global economic activity
and represents the risk that the Company, employees, service providers, suppliers, customers and other business partners may be prevented
from carrying out certain business activities for an indefinite period, including due to stoppages&nbsp;that may be requested or mandated
by government officials or elected by companies as a preventive measure.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company is following all the Covid-19 pandemic prevention guidelines
issued by the competent health agencies in the countries in which it operates. In this regard, the Company adopted a series of measures
to mitigate the risk of transmission in the workplace, such as the recommendation of the home office, the creation of crisis committees
and the cancellation of national and international trips and participation in external events. The Company also reinforces that the health
and safety of people are non-negotiable values. The Company has been daily monitoring the evolution of the pandemic scenario and the
impacts that this situation has on the routines of employees, their families and, also, for the business.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The nature of our business is complex and, in order to continue operating,
much of our work cannot be done remotely. Therefore, our focus is to reduce the risk of the virus spreading through our operations, as
operational continuity is essential for jobs, for neighboring communities and for the economies of the countries and regions where we
operate. Our plants and offices, therefore, have contingency plans to deal with the ongoing impact of the pandemic, which will continue
to be reviewed as the situation evolves.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The risks arising from outbreaks of diseases and epidemics, notably
those arising from the Covid-19 pandemic, can contribute significantly to the deterioration of economic conditions in Brazil and globally
and could, among other consequences, (i)&nbsp;negatively impact even more the global demand for steel or even lower market prices for
products, which can result in a continuous reduction in the Company's sales, operating income and cash flows; (ii)&nbsp;make it more
difficult or costly to obtain financing for operations or refinance debt in the future; (iii)&nbsp;impair the financial condition of
some of the customers and suppliers; and (iv)&nbsp;reduce investment programs. The Company constantly monitors the risks of commodity
prices, interest rates and exchange rates, credit risk management and capital management (note 14.c).</P>

continuity. However, changes that deteriorate the economic and business environment, or significant changes in the economy or financial
market that result in increased risk perception or reduced liquidity and refinancing capacity, if manifested in a greater intensity than
anticipated in the scenarios. contemplated by Management, may lead the Company to review its projections and, eventually, may affect

sole discretion, consider dividends distributions to shareholders to be considered as interest on own capital &mdash; subject to
specific limitations - which has the effect of a taxable deduction in the determination of income tax and social contribution. The
limitation is the greater of (i)&nbsp;shareholders&rsquo; equity multiplied by the TJLP (Long Term Interest Rate) rate or
(ii)&nbsp;50% of the net income in the fiscal year. This expense is not recognized for the purpose of preparing the financial

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The fair values of Loans and Financing and Debentures are based on
market premises, which may take into consideration discounted cash flows using equivalent market rates and credit rating. All other financial
instruments, which are recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements at their carrying amount, are substantially similar to those
that would be obtained if they were traded in the market. However, because there is no active market for these instruments, differences
could exist if they were settled in advance. The fair value hierarchy of the financial instruments above are presented in Note 14.g.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>Price risk of commodities:</B> this risk is related to the possibility
of changes in prices of the products sold by the Company or in prices of raw materials and other inputs used in the productive process.
Since the Company operates in a commodity market, net sales and cost of sales may be affected by changes in the international prices of
their products or materials. In order to minimize this risk, the Company constantly monitors the price variations in the domestic and
international markets.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>Interest rate risk:</B> this risk arises from the possibility of
losses (or gains) due to fluctuations in interest rates applied to the Company&rsquo;s financial liabilities or assets and future cash
flows and income.&nbsp;The Company evaluates its exposure to these risks: (i)&nbsp;comparing financial assets and liabilities denominated
at fixed and floating interest rates and (ii)&nbsp;monitoring the variations of interest rates like Libor and CDI. Accordingly, the Company
may enter into interest rate swaps in order to reduce this risk.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>Exchange rate risk:</B> this risk is related to the possibility
of fluctuations in exchange rates affecting the amounts of financial assets or liabilities or of future cash flows and income.&nbsp;The
Company assesses its exposure to the exchange rate by measuring the difference between the amount of its assets and liabilities in foreign
currency. The Company understands that the accounts receivables originated from exports, its cash and cash equivalents denominated in
foreign currencies and its investments abroad are more than equivalent to its liabilities denominated in foreign currency. Since the management
of these exposures occurs at each operation level, if there is a mismatch between assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency,
the Company may employ derivative financial instruments in order to mitigate the effect of exchange rate fluctuations.</P>

not receiving amounts arising from sales to customers or investments made with financial institutions. In order to minimize this risk,
the company adopt the procedure of analyzing in details of the financial position of their customers, establishing a credit limit and
constantly monitoring their balances. Regarding short-term investments, the Company invests solely in financial institutions with low
credit risk, as assessed by rating agencies. In addition, each financial institution has a maximum limit for investment, determined by
the Company&rsquo;s Credit Committee.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>Capital management risk</B>: this risk comes from the Company&rsquo;s
choice in adopting a financing structure for its operations. The Company manages its capital structure, which consists of a ratio between
the financial debts and its own capital (Equity) based on internal policies and benchmarks. The Key Performance Indicators (KPI) related
to the &ldquo;Capital Structure Management&rdquo; objective are: WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital), Net Debt/EBITDA (Earnings before
interest, income tax, depreciation and amortization), Coverage Ratio of Net Financial Expenses (EBITDA/Net Financial Expenses) and Debt/Total
Capitalization Ratio. Net Debt is formed by the principal of the debt reduced by cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments (notes
4, 12 and 13). Total Capitalization is formed by the Total Debt (composed of the principal of the debt) and the Equity (Note 18). The
Company may change its capital structure, according to economic and financial conditions, in order to optimize its financial leverage
and debt management. At the same time, the Company seeks to improve its ROCE (Return on Capital Employed) through the implementation of
working capital management and an efficient program of investments in property, plant and equipment. In the long term, the Company seeks
to remain within the parameters below, admitting occasional variations in the short term:</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company and its subsidiaries made judicial deposits and accounting

repercussion, which ruled that the inclusion of the ICMS in the PIS and COFINS calculation tax base was unconstitutional, and (ii)&nbsp;the
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), reversed the aforementioned accounting provision, through the recognition of R$ 929,711
in the line Reversal of provision for tax liabilities, net (Operational result) and R$ 369,819 in the line Reversal of interest on provision
for tax liabilities, net (Financial Result), in its consolidated statements of income. The Company&rsquo;s decision is supported by the
position of its legal advisors who, when reassessing the likelihood of loss in the ongoing lawsuits related to the matter, concluded that
the probability of loss, as to the merits of these lawsuits, became remote as of the date of the enactment of this decision.</P>

embargoes for declaration filed by the Federal Government in Extraordinary Appeal No.&nbsp;RE 574.706/RG, there is the possibility that
the STF understands as present the requirements for applying modulation to the case, or defines that the ICMS to be excluded from the
PIS and Cofins calculation base is the one actually paid, and not the one informed in the invoice as the taxpayers defend, which may result
in limiting the effects of the decision already rendered, in which case it may be necessary a reassessment of the risk of loss associated
with these lawsuits. Therefore, depending on the terms of the decision to be rendered by the STF in the judgment of the embargoes for
declaration in RE n&ordm; 574.706/RG, such reassessment may result in the need to record new provisions on this matter in the future.</P>

of differences supposedly due by the Company, calculated on the judicial deposits performed during the course of this lawsuit and which
were lifted by judicial determination, after the final and unappealable decision, without any opposition from the National Treasury Attorney.
The Company has already adopted the appropriate measures to counter the collection, and, supported by the position of its legal advisors,
understands this litigation as a remote loss, given that the final decision prevented the collection of contributions to PIS and COFINS
on the ICMS, without any restriction, recognizing that, under the terms of Law 9,703/98, the deposits belong to the winning party, so
that the collection intended by the Federal Revenue Service characterizes noncompliance with the order established in the final and unappealable
judicial title, in addition to understanding established in several precedents of the Federal Regional Court of the 4<SUP>th</SUP> Region,

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The sixth became final on March&nbsp;25, 2021, assuring to the Company
the right to recover undue payments made before the filing of the lawsuit (undue in respect of period of January/2009 to April/2009),
in the amount of R$ 5.7 million (R$ 3.6 million, net of related expenses). The Company recognized the gain when the decision was final
and unappealable, considering for the purposes of calculation the exclusion of the ICMS informed in the invoices and began to qualify
its credit before the Federal Revenue Service of Brazil.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The fact that some of the final and unappealable decisions in favor
of the Company recognized the right to the exclusion of ICMS from the PIS and COFINS calculation basis, without specifying which ICMS
to be excluded (whether the informed or the collected), does not change the understanding of the Company, supported by the position of
its legal advisors, in the sense that the decisions guarantee the right to the exclusion of the ICMS informed in the invoices.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">In the case of unappealable claims in favor of the Company, the calculation
of the amount of the undue to be recovered was presented from the beginning, in the initial petitions, and demonstrate unequivocally that
the amount claimed was calculated with the exclusion of the ICMS informed in the invoices, which it also allowed the Company to reliably
measure the amount to be effectively recovered, which was recognized in its assets when the lawsuits became unappealable.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">It is also important to note that in the Company's initial petitions
reference was always made to the ICMS (generally, as a whole, since without discrimination of any portion), the same as the Treasury required
to be included in the PIS and COFINS calculation base. In addition, when presenting its challenge in the aforementioned processes, the
Federal Government has always referred to the ICMS as a whole, either to affirm its necessary inclusion in the PIS and COFINS calculation
base, or to challenge the Company's request for its exclusion, in no moment making any differentiation to this or that portion of it,
whether the informed or the actually paid.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Finally, it is important to note that the understanding of the Company,
supported by its legal advisors, arises from the interpretation of the decision rendered by STF in Extraordinary Appeal No.&nbsp;574.706/RG
with general repercussion, when it decided for the unconstitutionality of the inclusion of ICMS, as a whole (without any differentiation),
in the PIS and COFINS calculation basis, which is expected to be confirmed in the judgment of the embargoes for declaration filed by the
Federal Government.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">In addition, it is important to note that the Company has two lawsuits
for the repetition of undue payments that are awaiting the respective unappealable decision. In these lawsuits, the Company seeks the
recognition of R$ 694 million of credits prior to the filing of the Legal Actions (contingent asset not recognized by the Company in its
accounting books), as well as expects to raise the judicial deposits linked to said lawsuits, in the amount of R$ 1,3 billion, and a writ
of mandamus, whose undue amount will be determined in due course.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On April&nbsp;13, 2020, due to the economic moment strongly impacted
by the pandemic caused by Covid-19, as well as the fact that the procedural legislation expressly provides the equivalence of cash and
guarantee insurance, the subsidiary Gerdau A&ccedil;os Longos SA requested the replacement of the amounts deposited by it over the years
regarding the Inclusion of ICMS in the PIS and COFINS Calculation Base for a guarantee insurance presented by the Company, in the amount
of R$ 1.7 billion, which complies with all the requirements established by the PGFN (Attorney General of the National Treasury) and can
be converted into income at any time, ensuring that the Public Treasury receives all the amounts that may eventually be due at the end
of the process.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">In the lower court decision, therefore, there was a decision to release
the funds deposited by the Company. The Public Treasury appealed to the Court and obtained a decision reversing the release of the amounts.
The Company, then, filed a complaint to settle divergence between the decision handed down by Federal Judge Ferreira Neves, member of
the 4<SUP>th</SUP> Specialized Panel of the Federal Regional Court of the 2<SUP>nd</SUP> Region, in the case files of process n&ordm;
50003743-37.2020.4.02.0000, and the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court (Theme n&ordm; 69). With an initially favorable injunction, the
decision was later suspended to await the statement by the National Treasury regarding the fine for bad faith litigation applied to the
Company. After the manifestation, which did not bring any additional element in relation to the fine for bad faith litigation applied,
the Minister understood that the Complaint was not applicable due to the lack of exhaustion of ordinary channels.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Regarding the fine for bad faith litigation, applied due to the allegation
of alleged attempt to mislead the Judiciary, the Company informs that it has always manifested itself in the file with procedural good
faith and is confident that this will be clarified during the process.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><B>IV) Eletrobr&aacute;s Compulsory Loan &mdash; Centrais El&eacute;tricas
Brasileiras S.A. (Eletrobr&aacute;s)</B></P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Compulsory Loan, instituted by the Brazilian government in order
to expand and improve the energy sector of the country was charged and collected from industrial consumers with monthly consumption equal
or greater than to 2000kwh through the &ldquo;electricity bills&rdquo; issued by the electric power distribution companies, was converted
into credits to the taxpayers based on the annual value of these contributions made between 1977 and 1993. The legislation sets a maximum
20 years period to return the compulsory loan to the taxpayers, providing Eletrobr&aacute;s the possibility of anticipating this return
through the conversion of those loans in shares of its own issuance.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Prior to the conversion of the credits into shares, those credits were
monetary corrected through an indexer and quantifier, called Standard Unit (SU). However, the compulsory loan was charged to the companies
in their monthly electricity bills, consolidated during the year, and only indexed by the SU in January&nbsp;of the following year, resulting
in a lack of monthly monetary correction during the years of collection, as well as interest. This procedure imputed to taxpayers&rsquo;
considerable financial losses, particularly during the periods when the monthly inflation rates stood at high levels. In order to claim
the appropriate interest and monetary correction subtracted by the methodology applied by Eletrobr&aacute;s, the Company (understood to
be legally entities existing at the time and that later became part of Gerdau S.A.) filed lawsuits claiming credits resulting from differences
on the monetary correction of principal, interest, default interest and other accessory amounts owed by Eletrobr&aacute;s due to the compulsory
loans.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">In 2015, cases involving representative amounts were definitively judged
by the Superior Court of Justice - STJ favorable to the Company so that no further appeals against such decisions apply (&ldquo;final
judgment&rdquo;). For claims with a final judgment, it yet remains the enforcement of ruling (or execution phase) where the actual amounts
to be settled will finally be calculated. Obtaining favorable decisions represented by the final judgment mentioned above, suggests that
an inflow of economic benefits may occur in the future.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company recognized in the 2<SUP>nd</SUP> quarter/2020 result, the
amount of R$ 436 million (net of expenses incurred for its realization), corresponding to four processes that evolved into its closing
and liquidation phase.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company still has other lawsuits pending before the Judiciary,
dealing with the subject, with final and unappealable decisions on the merits, favorable to the Company, totaling approximately R$ 1,350
million. With regard to these processes, there are still substantial uncertainties on the timing, the way and the amount to be realized
so that it is not yet practicable to reasonably determine that the realization of the gain arising from these decisions has reached a
level of virtually certain and that the Company has control over such assets, which implies that such gains are not recorded until such
conditions are demonstrably present.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">IFRS require that the Company disclose the net sales per product and
country unless the information is not available and the cost to obtain it would be excessive. Accordingly, management does not consider
this information useful for its decision making process, because it would entail aggregating sales for different markets with different
currencies, subject to the effects of exchange differences. Steel consumption patterns and the pricing dynamics of each product or group
of products in different countries and different markets within these countries are poorly correlated, and thus the information would
not be useful and would not serve to conclude on historical trends and progresses. In light of this scenario and considering that the
information on net sales by product and country is not maintained on a consolidated basis and the cost to obtain net sales per product
and country would be excessive compared to the benefits that would be derived from this information, the Company is not presenting the
breakdown of net sales by product and country.</P>

based on the analysis and identification of facts or circumstances that may involve the need to perform the impairment test. The Company
performs impairment tests of goodwill and other long-lived assets, based on projections of discounted cash flows, which take into account
assumptions such as: cost of capital, growth rate and adjustments applied to flows in perpetuity, methodology for working capital determination,
investment plans, and long-term economic-financial forecasts.</P>

of expected results and historical profitability of each segment.</P>

is carried out annually in December&nbsp;and it is anticipated if events or circumstances indicate that it is necessary. In the test carried
out in the year 2020, the Company carried out a sensitivity analysis of the discount rate and perpetuity growth rate using the analysis
of the scenario described above, given its potential impacts on cash flows, where an increase of 0.5% in the cash flow discount rate for
each segment would result in an recoverable amount exceeding the carrying amount as shown below: a) North America: exceeding the carrying
amount by R$ 4,589 million; b) Special Steels: exceeded the book value by R$ 1,568 million; c) South America: exceeded the book value
by R$ 3,757 million; and d) Brazil: exceeded the book value by R$ 11,348 million. On the other hand, a decrease of 0.5 % in the perpetuity
growth rate of the cash flow of each business segment would result in a recoverable amount exceeding the book value as shown below: a)
North America: exceeded the book value by R$ 4,914 million; b) Special Steels: exceeded the book value by R$ 1,754 million; c) South America:
exceeded the book value by R$ 3,867 million; and d) Brazil: exceeded the book value by R$ 11,809 million.</P>
