held on that date, pursuant to item 9.1.1 of the Tender Offer notice and the provisions of art. 4, §5, of Law No. 6,404/76 (“ Mandatory

  August 8, 2024, Bradesco, through its direct subsidiary Bradesco Holding de Investimentos S. A. (“ BHI”), entered into                     
  an Investment Agreement with John Deere Brasil S. A. (“ John Deere Brasil”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Deere & Company                  
  (USA), a global leader in the supply of agricultural, construction and forestry equipment. Through this agreement, we will hold a 50%      
  stake in Banco John Deere S. A. (“ Transaction”). This strategic partnership is expected to further strengthen our position                
  in the agribusiness and construction sectors, expanding the offer of financing and financial services to customers and dealers in the      
  acquisition of equipment, parts and services from the John Deere group. The consummation of the Transaction is subject to the fulfillment  
  of certain customary conditions precedent and will not have a material impact on Bradesco’s capitalization ratio. On February 10,          
  2025, after fulfilling the conditions precedent, legal and regulatory, the acquisition was completed.
