(vii) Tax incentive - Agency for the Development of Northeastern Brazil (“ ADENE”): In 2002, the Company applied for and was granted by the RFB the right to benefit from a reduction in the IRPJ and non-refundable additional taxes calculated on operating profit, for plants A and B (period from 2003 to 2013) and plant C (period from 2003 to 2012), all located in the Aracruz unit, under the condition of making new investments in its units located in the area covered by ADENE. In 2004, the Company received a notice from the extrajudicial administrator of the extinct Superintendency for the Development of the Northeast (“ SUDENE”), informing it that the right to enjoy the benefit previously granted was deemed unfounded and would be revoked. In 2005, a tax assessment was issued demanding alleged amounts relating to the tax incentive enjoyed up to that point. After administrative discussion, the tax assessment was partially upheld recognizing the Company's right to benefit from the tax incentive until 2003. The Company's management, advised by its legal advisors, believes that the decision to cancel the referred tax benefits is incorrect and should not prevail, whether concerning the benefits already enjoyed or those not yet enjoyed until their respective final terms. Currently, the contingency is being discussed in the judicial sphere. The Company is awaiting the judgment of the appeal filed against the unfavorable decision. For the year ended December 31, 2024 the total amount of the possible exposure is R$ 150,869 143,912
