- Confirm the nature of the 190,000 shares acquired by the Group via "Settlement of Securities Lending" to ensure no cash outflow occurred for this portion.
- Review the price of R$ 1.57 for Deferred ADRs to understand the valuation context relative to the market price of common shares (approx. R$ 16.70).
