Adjustments: The amount per share may be adjusted based on the shareholding base on April 29, 2024, due to potential acquisitions of shares under the Company's Share Buyback Program.
Exemptions: Shareholders immune to or exempt from income tax must prove their conditions by May 3, 2024, to the depositary institution, Banco Bradesco S.A.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify shareholding position as of the record date (April 29, 2024) to confirm eligibility for the net payment of R$0.19545148641 per share.
- Confirm if the company's Share Buyback Program activity prior to April 29, 2024, impacts the final per-share amount.
- Check if tax-exempt status documentation was submitted to Banco Bradesco S.A. by the May 3, 2024 deadline to avoid withholding tax.
- Monitor the Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting in 2025 for the mandatory dividend referendum regarding this IoC.
