Health and Pharmacy Benefit Plan 
 We offer a supplementary health care plan, the “AMS”, which provides for medical, hospital and dental care services to all active and retired employees and their dependents. In 2024, we paid 70% of the health care costs and our employees (active and retired) paid 30%.
 An independent actuary consultant calculates our commitment related to future benefits for plan participants on an annual basis, based on the projected unit credit method. The health care plan is not funded or otherwise collateralized by assets. Instead, we make benefit payments based on annual costs incurred by plan participants.
 The benefit also offers coverage of complementary programs, such as the Benefício Farmácia program. This program only covers drugs with a unit cost over R$150 and drugs of any value used in the treatment of certain non-transmissible chronic diseases. By choosing to use the Benefício Farmácia, the beneficiary must incur costs as determined by the co-participation system.
