Ref.: Official Letter Nº 101/2025/CVM/SEP/GEA-1
Banco Bradesco S.A. (“Bradesco” or “Company” or “Bank”) hereby sets forth its clarifications regarding the aforementioned Official Letter (“Official Letter No. 101/2025/CVM/SEP/GEA-1”), transcribed at follows:
“We refer to the News published on 05.08.2025 in Estadão Online media, News section, under the title: “Bradesco, BB and Caixa change rule of Elo and will have equal shares in the company", in which are the following information: Elo credit card brand will have a change in its corporate model, and the three partners, Caixa Econômica Federal, Bradesco and Banco do Brasil, will take back a third of the company each, as information obtained by the column, which anticipated the discussion last year. This was the split in 2011, when the three partners signed the partnership, but the composition changed due the old calculation model, which every four years redistributed the shares according to each bank's contribution to the business. Now, this contribution will only determine the annual payment of dividends to each bank. The model has already been agreed among the three institutions and is awaiting approvals from the Central Bank of Brazil and the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE).
In view of the above, we order you to clarify whether the news is true and, if so, to explain the reasons why you consider it not to be a relevant fact, as well as to comment on other information considered important on the subject.”
Clarification:
Bradesco confirms that it has signed an instrument on the equalization, by one third of the shareholdings of the shareholders of Elo Serviços S.A. (“Elo”), with the purpose of redefining the way in which the dividends are distributed, according to the respective contribution of each shareholder to Elo.
The Company believes that the information disclosed does not fit as a Material Fact, since there was no material change in its shareholding in Elo. In the Bank´s view, the corporate equalization does not substantially affect the decision of the investors to hold or trade Bradesco securities, nor does it affect the price of these securities or the exercise of the shareholders´ rights.
Finally, Bradesco emphasizes that the conclusion of the definitive documents of this operation is subject to the approval of the Central Bank of Brazil and CADE, and is available for any clarifications that may be necessary.
Sincerely,
André Costa Carvalho
Investor Relations Officer
