<P STYLE="font: 12pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; text-align: justify; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">Companhia Sider&uacute;rgica
Nacional (&quot;CSN&quot; or &quot;Company&quot;) (B3: CSNA3; NYSE: SID), in continuity with the Material Fact released on November 24,
2021, inform its shareholders and the market in general as follows.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; text-align: justify; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">As disclosed to the market
in the Material Fact of November 24, 2021, CSN and the controlling shareholders of Metalgr&aacute;fica Igua&ccedil;u S.A. (&quot;Metalgr&aacute;fica&quot;)
concluded, with intervention and the approval of Metalgr&aacute;fica, an Investment Contract and Other Covenants (&quot;Investment Agreement&quot;)
through which the parties agreed to promote, once implemented the suspension conditions provided therein, the combination of the operations
of both companies through the incorporation of all shares issued by Metalgr&aacute;fica by CSN, making it its wholly-owned subsidiary
(&quot;Operation&quot; or &quot;Incorporation of Shares&quot;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; text-align: justify; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">The Company informs that it
was concluded between CSN, the controlling shareholders of Metalgr&aacute;fica, and Companhia Metal&uacute;rgica Prada (&quot;Prada&quot;),
with the intervention and approval of Metalgr&aacute;fica, its first Investment Contract Additive (&quot;Additive&quot;), through which
CSN, ceded and transferred to Prada, CSN&rsquo;s subsidiary, all rights and obligations arising from the Investment Agreement, including,
but not limited to, the position of developer in the original agreement. In consequence, the Additive shall import the combination of
the operations of the companies Metalgr&aacute;fica and Prada, by means of the incorporation of shares of the first by the second.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; text-align: justify; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">The Transaction, to be submitted
for approval by Prada and Metalgr&aacute;fica shareholders, at their respective Extraordinary General Meetings will result, therefore
(i) in the incorporation by Prada of all shares issued by Metalgr&aacute;fica, making it its wholly-owned subsidiary; and (ii) in the
exchange for the incorporation of shares, upon receipt by Metalgr&aacute;fica shareholders of shares issued by Prada (to be issued in
capital increase, with the expectation of a maximum dilution of 0.10% of Prada's share capital) in place of Metalgr&aacute;fica's shares,
the share exchange ratio is yet to be approved by the companies at an Extraordinary General Meeting.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; text-align: justify; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">The Additive is justified by
the opportunity to obtaining greater synergies and integration between existing structures, since Prada already explores business lines
related to those developed by Metalgr&aacute;fica, such as the manufacture and trading of metallic and non-metallic packaging, industrialization,
commercialization and reprocessing of products in iron, steel and other metals in general. Thus, it is more efficient to carry out the
incorporation of shares of Metalgr&aacute;fica by Prada, a subsidiary of CSN, and no longer by CSN itself, maintaining the other conditions
of the Investment Agreement initially agreed, adjusted to the Additive.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 12pt Calibri, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; text-align: justify; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">Pursuant to the Additive, Prada
and Metalgr&aacute;fica agree that, for the purpose of fixing the replacement relationship of the shares, the economic value of Metalgr&aacute;fica
measured in a preliminary assessment conducted by a specialized company will be considered, and, in the case of Prada, the book value,
calculated by a specialized company, on the same base date used to calculate the economic value of Metalgr&aacute;fica.</P>

by the Operation will be defined in a Protocol and Justification signed by Prada&rsquo;s and Metalgr&aacute;fica&rsquo;s administrators
