Material Changes
The Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Company's "Manual on Disclosure and Use of Information and Policy for the Trading with Securities Issued by the Company" (the "Policy"). This change aligns with Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) Ruling No. 547/2014. The amendment mandates that material fact or act notices be disclosed via specific internet portals, including:
- Valor Econômico newspaper website (www.valor.com.br/fatosrelevantes)
- Company's Investor Relations website (http://ri.ambev.com.br)
- CVM electronic system website (http://www.cvm.gov.br)
- Relevant stock exchanges
The Policy allows for summary publication in wide-circulation newspapers, provided the full text is accessible online. The Company will restate its registration form and reference form with the CVM to reflect these changes. These changes apply only to disclosures within Brazil.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
This filing contains no financial guidance, outlook, management commentary on operations, or discussion of financial risks. The primary focus is regulatory compliance regarding disclosure channels.
