 condition or prospects. We cannot ensure that our internal processes and controls may be sufficient to comply with the extensive environmental regulation.

As of June 30, 2025, we owned land reserves extending over more than 316,977 hectares that were purchased at very attractive prices. In addition, we have a concession over 132,000 hectares reserved for future development. We believe that there are technological tools available to improve productivity in these farmlands and, therefore, achieve returns in the long term. However, current or future environmental regulations could prevent us from fully developing our land reserves by requiring that we maintain part of this land as natural woodlands not to be used for production purposes.

New restrictions on agricultural and food products we produce that contain genetically modified organisms could be established resulting in a potential adverse effect on our business.

Our agricultural products contain genetically modified organisms in varying proportions according to the year and the country of production. The use of genetically modified organisms in food has been achieved with varying degrees of acceptance in the markets in which we operate. Argentina and Brazil, for example, have approved the use of genetically modified organisms in food products, and genetically modified organisms and non-genetically modified organisms grains in those countries are produced and mixed frequently during the process of grain origination. Elsewhere, adverse publicity about genetically modified foods has led to Government regulation that limits sales of genetically modified organisms products. It is possible that new restrictions may be imposed on genetically modified organisms products in the main markets for some of our products, which could have an adverse effect on our business, equity and the result of our operations.

If our products become contaminated, we may be subject to product liability claims, product withdrawals and export restrictions that could adversely affect our business.

While we are subject to strict production protocols, the sale of products implies the risk of injury to consumers. These injuries may result from manipulation by third parties, bioterrorism, product contamination or deterioration, including the presence of bacteria, pathogens, foreign objects, substances, chemicals, other agents or waste introduced during the growth phases, storage, handling or transport.

We cannot be sure that the consumption of our products will not cause a health-related illness in the future or that we will not be subject to claims or judgments related to such matters. Even if a product liability claim is unsuccessful or not fully realized, the negative publicity surrounding any claim that our products caused a disease or injury could negatively affect our reputation with current and potential customers and our image as a Company, and we could also incur significant incidents. In addition, claims
