Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the final approval and registration status of the Offering with the CVM.
- Review the Definitive Prospectus and Preliminary Supplement for detailed terms and risk factors.
- Confirm the final allocation between the 1st Tranche (floating rate) and 2nd Tranche (inflation-linked + fixed rate).
- Monitor whether the company exercises the 20% over-allotment option.
- Check for any updates on the company's existing debt load and liquidity position in subsequent filings, as this document does not contain those figures.
