**Information on the Offer**

The Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, today, unless extended or earlier terminated by Gerdau Trade in its sole discretion (such time and date, as it may be extended or earlier terminated, the "<u>Expiration Date</u>"). Holders of Notes who validly tender (and do not validly withdraw) their Notes at or prior to the Expiration Date or deliver a properly completed and duly executed notice of guaranteed delivery and other required documents on or prior to the Expiration Date, and deliver their Notes pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures on or prior to the second business day following the Expiration Date, which is expected to be at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, June 11, 2025 (the "<u>Guaranteed Delivery Date</u>"), will be eligible to receive the Consideration.

Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer, including Notes tendered pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described in the Offer to Purchase, will be paid accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes ("<u>Accrued Interest</u>") from, and including, the last interest payment date to, but excluding, the Settlement Date (as defined below), payable on the Settlement Date (the "<u>Accrued Coupon Payment</u>"). For the avoidance of doubt, the Offeror will not pay Accrued Interest for any periods following the Settlement Date in respect of any Notes purchased in the Offer.

**Settlement**

Settlement of the Offer is expected to occur within three business days following the Expiration Date, which will be June 12, 2025, unless the Expiration Date is extended by the Offeror in its sole discretion (the "<u>Settlement Date</u>").

**Conditions**

Gerdau Trade's obligation to accept for purchase, and to pay the Consideration and the Accrued Coupon Payment is conditioned upon the satisfaction or waiver by Gerdau Trade of a number of conditions described in the Offer to Purchase. Gerdau Trade expressly reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to (i) delay accepting the Notes, extend the expiration Date for the Offer or, if the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase are not satisfied, terminate the Offer at any time and not accept the Notes; and (ii) if the conditions to the Offer are not satisfied, amend or modify at any time, the terms of the Offer in any respect, including by waiving, where possible, any conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase.

**Disclaimer** 

None of Gerdau Trade, the Guarantors, the Dealer Managers, the Tender and Information Agent, the trustee for the Notes, or any of their respective affiliates, is making any recommendation as to whether holders should or should not tender any Notes in response to the Offer or expressing any opinion as to whether the terms of the Offer are fair to any holder.

Please refer to the Offer to Purchase for a description of the offer terms, conditions, disclaimers and other information applicable to the Offer.

This press release is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer to purchase or the solicitation of an offer to sell any securities. The Offer is being made solely by means of the Offer Documents. The Offer is not being made to holders of the Notes in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction. In those jurisdictions where the securities, blue sky or other laws require any tender offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the Offer will be deemed to be made on behalf of Gerdau Trade by the Dealer Managers or one or more registered brokers or dealers licensed under the laws of such jurisdiction.

The Offer Documents have not been filed with, and have not been approved or reviewed by any federal or state securities commission or regulatory authority of any country. No authority has passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of the Offer Documents or any other documents related to the Offer, and it is unlawful and may be a criminal offense to make any representation to the contrary.

This press release may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including those related to the Offer. Forward-looking information involves important risks and uncertainties that could significantly affect anticipated results in the future, and, accordingly, such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements.
