ANNEX I
Procedures applicable to the reduction of IRRF rates under a Double Taxation Avoidance Treaty
Non-resident shareholders that believe they are entitled to the application of a reduced withholding income tax at source (“IRRF”) rate due to an international treaty to avoid double taxation entered into by Brazil and the jurisdiction of their tax residence (“Treaty”) shall observe the procedures set forth in this Annex.
The Company, as the paying source, is responsible for the withholding and collection of IRRF levied on IOC 2026 prior to its payment to shareholders. Therefore, the application of any differentiated tax treatment will depend on the timely, complete and proper submission of the information and documents set forth in this Annex I. The information provided will be used by the Company exclusively for the purpose of determining the IRRF rate applicable to non-resident shareholders who are beneficiaries of IOC, when applicable.
The Company will not consider any information or documents submitted after the Submission Deadline, as well as those submitted in an incomplete, inadequate, inconsistent or insufficient manner. In such cases, the IRRF rate set forth under applicable law will fully apply, with no possibility of retroactive review, without prejudice to the non-resident shareholder seeking, directly before the competent tax authorities, any refund it believes to be due.
The Company may, at its sole discretion, request additional information and/or documents whenever it deems necessary for the full compliance with its legal obligations as a tax withholding agent.
By providing the information mentioned in this Annex I, shareholders and their custody agents authorize the disclosure of the data submitted, as well as any additional information that may be subsequently requested by the Company, to the tax authorities in the context of a tax audit.
