Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 6-K filing by TELEFONICA BRASIL S.A. reports on the minutes of the 165th Meeting of the Audit and Control Committee held on November 4, 2024. The document details a corporate governance decision regarding a proposed capital reduction rather than providing standard quarterly or annual financial performance results.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not contain standard financial performance metrics such as revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, or debt levels for the period ending December 31, 2024. The only specific financial figures disclosed relate to the proposed capital structure adjustment:
- Proposed Capital Reduction Amount: R$ 2,000,000,000.00 (Two billion reais).
- Current Capital Stock: R$ 62,071,415,865.09.

- Share Count: 1,652,588,360 shares (remains unchanged).
Material Changes and Corporate Actions
The primary material change proposed is a reduction of the Company's capital stock without the cancellation of shares. This will be executed through the reimbursement to shareholders of part of the value of their shares. Key details include:
- Method: Reimbursement to shareholders proportional to their participation in the share capital.
- Payment Timeline: If approved by the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders and after the expiration of the 60-day legal period, resources will be paid in a single installment by July 31, 2025.
- Bylaws Amendment: The proposal requires an amendment to Article 5 of the Company's Bylaws.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing does not provide financial guidance, market outlook, or management commentary on operational performance. The document outlines the procedural path for the capital reduction:
- Approvals Required: The proposal has been recommended by the Audit and Control Committee and must be approved by the Board of Directors and subsequently by an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders.
- Regulatory Compliance: The process adheres to Articles 173 and 174 of the Brazilian Corporation Law.
- Execution Risk: Payment is contingent upon shareholder approval and the completion of the 60-day waiting period.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the date and outcome of the upcoming extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to confirm approval of the R$ 2 billion capital reduction.
- Confirm the specific payment date for the reimbursement, which is scheduled to occur on or before July 31, 2025.
- Review the Company's next financial report (Form 20-F or quarterly results) for actual revenue, profit, and cash flow data, as this filing contains none.
