S.A.</B></FONT> (B3: GGBR / NYSE: GGB) (&ldquo;<U>Company</U>&rdquo;) in addition to the Material Facts published on November 25<SUP>th</SUP>
, 2022 and March 15<SUP>th</SUP>, 2023, announces to its shareholders and the market in general that Newave Energia S.A., a company in
which Gerdau holds an indirect stake of 33.33% (&ldquo;<U>Newave Energia</U>&rdquo;), has entered into definitive agreements for the acquisition
of all the shares in Solar Arinos Holding S.A., held by Voltalia Group, with the purpose of developing, building and operating a new solar
energy generation park in Arinos, in the state of Minas Gerais (&ldquo;<U>Arinos Solar Park</U>&rdquo;).</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Arinos Solar Park is expected to have an installed
capacity of approximately 420 MWp and includes an energy substation. The total investment for the construction of the Arinos Solar Park
will be around R$ 1,400,000,000.00 (one billion and four hundred million reais), which will be fully supported by Newave Energia S.A,
with a combination of its equity and debt.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">With the execution of the definitive agreements,
the conditions are met for Gerdau to complete the payment of its share of the capital in Newave Energia throughout the project construction.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Once operational, the Arinos Solar Park is expected
to supply 30% of its volume of renewable energy produced to Gerdau's steel production units in Brazil, in the self-production mode, contributing
to achieving the goals of reducing greenhouse effect emissions and reinforcing the Company's search for greater competitiveness. The energy
volume in this mode is approximately 34 MWm, equivalent to the consumption of a steel mill with a capacity of approximately 400k tons
per year, or approximately 7% of the total Company&rsquo;s annual energy consumption in Brazil. The use of this energy should generate
an estimated reduction of 22,000 tCO<SUB>2</SUB>e per year for the Company.</P>
