Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 6-K filing by Ambev S.A. reports the consolidated final voting results for the Ordinary and Extraordinary General Shareholders' Meetings held on April 24, 2020. The filing serves as a disclosure of corporate governance actions and shareholder resolutions rather than a financial performance report.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide current revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity metrics. The only financial figures disclosed relate to approved compensation limits for the 2020 fiscal year:
- Managers' Overall Compensation: Up to R$ 111,079,130.00 (including stock options and share-based compensation).
- Fiscal Council Compensation: Up to R$ 2,162,700.00 annually.
Material Changes and Shareholder Resolutions
Shareholders approved several significant governance and structural changes:
- Financial Statements: Approved the managers' accounts and financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.
- Profit Allocation: Approved the allocation of net profit for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.
- Board Composition: Approved a Board of Directors composed of 11 effective members and 2 alternates for a 3-year term. The bylaws were amended to allow for a single Chairman (replacing the Co-Chairmen model), increase the minimum board size to 5 members, and require a majority of external members.
- Bylaws Restructuring: Approved amendments to restructure the Board of Executive Officers, redefine duties, and adjust the name of existing positions.
- Share-Based Compensation Plan: Approved an increase in the global volume of shares available for the plan from 0.3% to 3% of the Company's share capital.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing does not contain management commentary on future guidance, market outlook, specific risks, or contingencies. The document is strictly a record of voting outcomes.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the specific details of the net profit allocation for 2019, as the filing only confirms the resolution was passed, not the dividend amount.
- Confirm the implementation timeline for the new Board of Directors structure (single Chairman, majority external members) and the restructured Executive Officer roles.
- Review the impact of the Share-Based Compensation Plan expansion (from 0.3% to 3%) on potential future dilution.
- Check subsequent filings for the actual utilization of the authorized capital limit approved in the bylaws amendment.
