Ladies and Gentlemen:

Wilkes Participações S.A. (the "**Selling Shareholder**"), a shareholder of Sendas Distribuidora S.A., a corporation (*sociedade por ações*) (the "**Company**") organized under the laws of Brazil ("**Brazil**"), agrees, subject to the terms and conditions stated in this agreement (this "**Agreement**"), to (i) sell to the several International Underwriters named in Schedule I hereto (the "**International Underwriters**") an aggregate of 11,704,785 common shares, without par value, of the Company in the form of 2,340,957 American Depositary Shares, each American Depositary Share representing five common shares, without par value, of the Company and (ii) place with the International Placement Agents (as defined below) named in Schedule I hereto, Shares (as defined below) of the Company, outside Brazil, including the United States.

The respective amounts of the American Depositary Shares to be so purchased by the several International Underwriters are set forth opposite their names on Schedule II hereto. The aggregate of 2,340,957 American Depositary Shares to be sold by the Selling Shareholder are herein called the "**ADSs**". The common shares of the Company represented by the ADSs are hereinafter referred to as the "**Underlying Shares**."

The ADSs purchased by the International Underwriters, if any, will be issued by JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. (the "**ADS Depositary**") and may be evidenced by American Depositary Receipts ("**ADRs**") pursuant to the Deposit Agreement, dated as of February 19, 2021, as amended on August 16, 2021 (the "**ADS Deposit Agreement**"), among the Company, the ADS Depositary, and all holders and beneficial owners of the ADSs issued thereunder.

In addition to any ADSs sold pursuant to this Agreement, the Selling Shareholder and the Company are concurrently entering into a certain *Contrato de Coordenação, Colocação e Garantia Firme de Liquidação de Ações Ordinárias de Emissão da Sendas Distribuidora S.A.* (the "**Brazilian Placement Agreement**") dated the date hereof, with Banco BTG Pactual S.A., Banco Bradesco BBI S.A., Banco Itaú BBA S.A., Banco J.P. Morgan S.A., Goldman Sachs do Brasil Banco Múltiplo S.A., UBS Brasil Corretora de Câmbio, Títulos e Valores Mobiliários S.A., Citigroup Global Markets Brasil, Corretora de Câmbio, Títulos e Valores Mobiliários S.A., Banco de Investimentos Credit Suisse (Brasil) S.A., Banco Safra S.A. and Banco Santander (Brasil) S.A. (collectively, the "**Brazilian Placement Agents**"), providing for the sale by the Selling Shareholder of an aggregate of 242,295,215 common shares, without par value, of the Company (the "**Shares**"). The Shares and the Underlying Shares are referred to collectively herein as the "**Common Shares**." The Common Shares and the ADSs are referred to collectively herein as the "**Securities**." For the avoidance of doubt and except where the context requires otherwise, all references to the Common Shares shall also be to Common Shares in the form of ADSs.

In connection with the offer, sale and placement of the Shares pursuant to the Brazilian Placement Agreement, the Company and the Selling Shareholder have prepared a Portuguese-language *Memorando Preliminar da Oferta Pública de Distribuição Secundária de Ações Ordinárias de Emissão da Sendas Distribuidora S.A.*, dated March 14, 2023, which incorporates by reference the *Formulário de Referência* of the Company, to be distributed in connection with the offer, sale and placement of the Shares in Brazil (the "**Preliminary Brazilian Offering Memorandum**"), a Portuguese-language *Memorando Definitivo da Oferta Pública de Distribuição Secundária de Ações Ordinárias de Emissão da Sendas Distribuidora S.A.*, dated as of the date hereof, which incorporates by reference the *Formulário de Referência* of the Company, to be distributed in connection with the offer, sale and placement of the Shares in Brazil (the "**Final Brazilian Offering Memorandum**" and, together with the Preliminary Brazilian Offering Memorandum, each a "**Brazilian Offering Memorandum**" and, together, the "**Brazilian Offering Memoranda**").

Each of the Company and the Selling Shareholder understands that the Brazilian Placement Agents have appointed BTG Pactual US Capital, LLC, Bradesco Securities, Inc., Itau BBA USA Securities, Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, UBS Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets, Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Safra Securities LLC and Santander US Capital Markets LLC (collectively, the "**International Placement Agents**"), as represented by the Representatives, as their placement agents for the facilitation of the placement of the Shares outside Brazil, including the United States. Other than the Common Shares sold in the form of ADSs, the Shares purchased by investors not residing in Brazil will be placed outside of Brazil by the International Placement Agents and will be settled in Brazil and paid for in Brazilian *reais* and their offer is being placed by the Brazilian Placement Agents pursuant to the Brazilian Placement Agreement. The parties hereto understand and agree that the rights, representations, warranties, obligations, covenants and indemnities of this Agreement made or owed to the International Underwriters by the Company and the Selling Shareholder shall also inure to, be for the benefit of and may be relied upon by the International Placement Agents in the context of their placement of the Shares outside of Brazil. Each of BTG Pactual US Capital LLC, Bradesco Securities, Inc. and Safra Securities LLC is executing this Agreement solely in its capacity as International Placement Agent (represented by the Representatives), not as International Underwriter, that is not participating in the offering and sale of ADSs (other than in the case of BTG Pactual US Capital LLC and Bradesco Securities, Inc., as agents for the sales of ADSs in the United States, if any, by Banco BTG Pactual S.A. – Cayman Branch and Banco Bradesco BBI S.A., respectively, as further described below). However, for the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Safra Securities LLC will only offer and place Shares (and not ADSs) outside of Brazil, including the United States, on behalf of Banco Safra S.A., and it will not underwrite, offer or sell any ADSs or Shares as part of the International Offering.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the International Underwriters and the International Placement Agents may offer and sell Shares to or through any affiliate of an International Underwriter or International Placement Agent.

It is further understood that investors residing outside Brazil may purchase the Shares if they comply with the registration requirements established by the Brazilian Monetary Council (*Conselho Monetário Nacional*), the Brazilian Securities Commission (*Comissão de Valores Mobiliários*, the "**CVM**") and the Brazilian Central Bank (*Banco Central do Brasil*, the "**Central Bank**"), each as applicable. The Shares are offered, sold and placed by the Brazilian Placement Agents to investors in Brazil pursuant to the Brazilian Placement Agreement under the automatic registration procedure, in accordance with CVM Resolution No. 160, dated July 13, 2022, as amended ("**CVM Resolution No. 160**").

The offering of the ADSs by the International Underwriters, if any, and the placement of the Shares to persons outside of Brazil by the International Placement Agents are referred to collectively herein as the "**International Offering**." The offering of Shares by the Brazilian Placement Agents to persons in Brazil is referred to herein as the "**Brazilian Offering**." The International Offering and the Brazilian Offering are referred to collectively herein as the "**Global Offering**."

The several International Underwriters and the Brazilian Placement Agents are, simultaneously herewith, entering into an intersyndicate agreement between their respective syndicates, dated the date hereof which provides for, among other things, the allocation and transfer for the purpose of resale or placement, as applicable, of the Securities, including in the form of ADSs, outside of Brazil, and Shares offered in Brazil.

To the extent that: (i) Banco BTG Pactual S.A. – Cayman Branch intends to sell ADSs or Shares in the United States, it will do so only through BTG Pactual US Capital, LLC or one or more U.S. registered broker-dealers, or otherwise as permitted by applicable U.S. law; and (ii) Banco Bradesco BBI S.A. intends to sell ADSs or Shares in the United States, it will do so only through Bradesco Securities, Inc. or one or more U.S. registered broker-dealers, or otherwise as permitted by applicable U.S. law.

Service of process effected in the manner set forth in this Agreement, assuming validity under the laws of the State of New York, will be effective, insofar as Brazilian law is concerned, to confer valid personal jurisdiction over the Selling Shareholder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(aa) The Selling Shareholder has no reason to believe that the indemnification and contribution provisions set forth in Section 11 hereof contravene Brazilian law or public policy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Each International Underwriter and International Placement Agent, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Company's directors and officers and the Selling Shareholder only against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or the Selling Shareholder may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any roadshow, or any Testing-the-Waters Communication, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the ADS Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any roadshow or any Testing-the-Waters Communication, in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information; and will reimburse the Company and the Selling Shareholder for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or the Selling Shareholder pursuant to the final decision in relation to any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred. As used in this Agreement with respect to an International Underwriter or International Placement Agent and an applicable document, "**Underwriter Information**" shall mean the written information furnished to the Company by such International Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein; it being understood and agreed upon that the only such information furnished by any International Underwriter consists of the following information in the Prospectus furnished on behalf of each International Underwriter: the name of such International Underwriter and/or International Placement Agent appearing in the second and third paragraphs under the heading "Underwriting," the information contained in the second paragraph under the heading "Underwriting–Discounts, Fees, Commissions and Expenses," and the information contained in the first and second paragraphs under the heading "Underwriting–Price Stabilization and Short Positions"; provided that the liability of each International Underwriter and each International Placement Agent, pursuant to this Section 11(c), shall in no event exceed the underwriting discounts and commissions (net of taxes) considered in the aggregate received by such International Underwriter or such International Placement Agent (as the case may be) from the offering, sale and/or placement of Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection a, (b) or (c) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 11 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 11. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party) to represent the indemnified party in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless (i) the indemnifying person and the indemnified person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the indemnifying person has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified person; (iii) the indemnified person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying person and the indemnified person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested that an indemnifying party reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this Section 11(d), the indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the indemnifying party of such request and (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 11 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Selling Shareholder on the one hand and the International Underwriters and the International Placement Agents on the other from the offering of the Securities. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Shareholder on the one hand and the International Underwriters and International Placement Agents, severally and not jointly, on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and Selling Shareholder on the one hand and the International Underwriters and International Placement Agents, severally and not jointly, on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses and taxes payable by the Company and the Selling Shareholder (as applicable)) received by the Company and Selling Shareholder bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the International Underwriters and International Placement Agents, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Selling Shareholder on the one hand or the International Underwriters and International Placement Agents on the other and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, the Selling Shareholder, the International Underwriters and International Placement Agents agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (e) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the International Underwriters and International Placement Agents were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), (i) no International Underwriter or International Placement Agent shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which (x) the underwriting discounts and commissions (net of taxes and non-reimbursable expenses) received by such International Underwriter or such International Placement Agent (as the case may be) exceeds (y) the amount of any damages which such International Underwriter or such International Placement Agent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (ii) the Selling Shareholder shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which (x) the net proceeds (after discounts but before deducting expenses and taxes payable by the Selling Shareholder) received by the Selling Shareholder from the offering and sale of its ADSs contemplated hereunder exceeds (y) the amount of any damages which the Selling Shareholder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The International Underwriters' and International Placement Agents' obligations in this subsection (e) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) The obligations of the Company and the Selling Shareholder under this Section 11 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Selling Shareholder may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each employee, officer and director of each International Underwriter and International Placement Agent, each person, if any, who controls any International Underwriter or any International Placement Agent within the meaning of the Act and each broker-dealer or other affiliate of any International Underwriter or any International Placement Agent; and the obligations of the International Underwriters and the International Placement Agents under this Section 11 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective International Underwriters or International Placement Agents may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company (including any person who, with his or her consent, is named in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus as about to become a director of the Company) and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. (a) If any International Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the Securities which it has agreed to purchase hereunder, you may in your discretion arrange for you or another party or other parties to purchase such Securities on the terms contained herein. If within thirty six hours after such default by any International Underwriter you do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company and the Selling Shareholder shall be entitled to a further period of thirty six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to you to purchase such Securities on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, you notify the Company and the Selling Shareholder that you have so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, or the Company or the Selling Shareholder notify you that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, you or the Company or the Selling Shareholder shall have the right to postpone the Time of Delivery for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the ADS Registration Statement, Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments or supplements to the ADS Registration Statement, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in your opinion may thereby be made necessary. The term "International Underwriter" as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting International Underwriter or International Underwriters by you, the Company or the Selling Shareholder as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such Securities which remains unpurchased does not exceed one eleventh of the aggregate number of all the Securities, then the Selling Shareholder shall have the right to require each non-defaulting International Underwriter to purchase the number of shares which such International Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting International Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the number of Securities which such International Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting International Underwriter or International Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting International Underwriter from liability for its default.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting International Underwriter or International Underwriters by you, the Company and the Selling Shareholder as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such Securities which remains unpurchased exceeds one eleventh of the aggregate number of all the Securities, or if the Selling Shareholder shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting International Underwriters to purchase Securities of a defaulting International Underwriter or International Underwriters, then this Agreement shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting International Underwriter, the Company or the Selling Shareholder, except for the expenses to be borne by the Selling Shareholder and the International Underwriters as provided in Section 9 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 11 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting International Underwriter from liability for its default.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Selling Shareholder and the several International Underwriters and International Placement Agents, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any International Underwriter International Placement Agent or any director, officer, employee, affiliate or controlling person of any International Underwriter or International Placement Agent, or the Company, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, or the Selling Shareholder and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14. If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 12 hereof, neither the Company nor the Selling Shareholder shall then be under any liability to any International Underwriter or International Placement Agent except as provided in Sections 9 and 11, as applicable, hereof; but, if for any other reason, the Securities are not delivered by or on behalf of the Selling Shareholder as provided herein, the Selling Shareholder will reimburse the International Underwriters and International Placement Agents through you for all out of pocket expenses approved in writing by you, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the International Underwriters and International Placement Agents in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Securities, but the Company and the Selling Shareholder shall then be under no further liability to any International Underwriter except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15. In all dealings hereunder, you shall act on behalf of each of the International Underwriters and International Placement Agents, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any International Underwriter or any International Placement Agent made or given by you jointly or by Banco BTG Pactual S.A. – Cayman Branch, Banco Bradesco BBI S.A., Itau BBA USA Securities, Inc. and J.P.

Morgan Securities LLC**, 383 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10179, United States of America, (fax: +1 (212) 622-6358), Attention: Syndication Department; if to the Company shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the address of the Company set forth in Schedule IV hereto, Attention: Gabrielle Castelo Branco Helú; and if to the Selling Shareholder shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to the address of the Selling Shareholder set forth in Schedule IV hereto, Attention: Christopher Welton; provided, however, that any notice to an International Underwriter pursuant to Section 9(c) hereof shall be delivered or sent by mail, telex or facsimile transmission to such International Underwriter or International Placement Agent at its address set forth in its International Underwriters' Questionnaire, or telex constituting such Questionnaire, which address will be supplied to the Company and the Selling Shareholder by you upon request. Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof.

In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the International Underwriters and International Placement Agents are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company and the Selling Shareholder, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the International Underwriters and International Placement Agents to properly identify their respective clients.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the International Underwriters, the Company, the Selling Shareholder and, to the extent provided in Sections 9 and 11 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and each person who controls the Company, the Selling Shareholder or any International Underwriter, or any director, officer, employee, or affiliate of any International Underwriter, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Securities from any International Underwriter or any International Placement Agent shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. As used herein, the term "business day" shall mean any day when the Commission's office in Washington, D.C. is open for business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18. The Company and the Selling Shareholder acknowledge and agree, severally and not jointly, that (i) the purchase and sale or placement of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm's-length commercial transaction between the Selling Shareholder, on the one hand, and the several International Underwriters and International Placement Agents, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each International Underwriter and each International Placement Agent is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company or the Selling Shareholder, (iii) no International Underwriter or International Placement Agent has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or the Selling Shareholder with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such International Underwriter or such International Placement Agent has advised or is currently advising the Company or the Selling Shareholder on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company or the Selling Shareholder except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, (iv) the Company and the Selling Shareholder have consulted their own respective legal and financial advisors to the extent deemed appropriate, and (v) none of the activities of the International Underwriters or the International Placement Agents in connection with the transactions contemplated herein constitutes a recommendation, investment advice, or solicitation of any action by the International Underwriters or the International Placement Agents with respect to any entity or natural person. Each of the Company and the Selling Shareholder agrees that it will not claim that the International Underwriters, the International Placement Agents or any of them, has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to any of the Company or the Selling Shareholder, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company, the Selling Shareholder and the International Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20. **This Agreement and any transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflict of laws that would results in the application of any other law than the laws of the State of New York. Each of the Company and the Selling Shareholder agrees that any suit or proceeding arising in respect of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated by this Agreement will be tried exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in any state court located in The City and County of New York and each of the Company and the Selling Shareholder agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of, and to venue in, such courts.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21. Each of the Company, the Selling Shareholder and each of the International Underwriters and International Placement Agents hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;22. Each of the Company and the Selling Shareholder hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. federal and New York state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Company and the Selling Shareholder waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit or proceeding in such courts. Each of the Company and the Selling Shareholder agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and the Selling Shareholder, as applicable, and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which Company and the Selling Shareholder, as applicable, is subject by a suit upon such judgment. The Company irrevocably appoints Cogency Global Inc., located at 122 East 42nd Street, 18th Floor, New York, NY 10168, and the Selling Shareholder irrevocably appoints Cogency Global Inc., located at 122 East 42nd Street, 18th Floor, New York, NY 10168, as their respective authorized agents in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York upon which process may be served in any such suit or proceeding, and agrees that service of process upon such authorized agent, and written notice of such service to the Company or the Selling Shareholder, as the case may be, by the person serving the same to the address provided in this Section, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company or the Selling Shareholder, as the case may be, in any such suit or proceeding. Each of the Company and the Selling Shareholder hereby represents and warrants that such authorized agent has accepted such appointment and has agreed to act as such authorized agent for service of process. Each of the Company and the Selling Shareholder further agrees to take any and all action as may be necessary to maintain such designation and appointment of such authorized agent in full force and effect.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;23. To the extent that the Company or the Selling Shareholder has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from jurisdiction of any court of (i) Brazil, or any political subdivision thereof, (ii) the United States or the State of New York, (iii) any jurisdiction in which it owns or leases property or assets or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution, set-off or otherwise) with respect to themselves or their respective property and assets or this Agreement, the Company and the Selling Shareholder hereby irrevocably waive such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;24. The Company and the Selling Shareholder agree to indemnify each International Underwriter, each International Placement Agent, each employee, officer and director of each International Underwriter and each International Placement Agent, and each person, if any, who controls any International Underwriter or International Placement Agent within the meaning of the Act and each broker-dealer or other affiliate of any International Underwriter or International Placement Agent, against any loss incurred as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for any amount due hereunder and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a currency (the "**judgment currency**") other than U.S. dollars and as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the U.S. dollar amount is converted into the judgment currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (ii) the rate of exchange at which such indemnified person is able to purchase U.S. dollars with the amount of the judgment currency actually received by the indemnified person. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Company and the Selling Shareholder and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term "rate of exchange" shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the relevant currency.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;25. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such respective counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;26. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company and the Selling Shareholder are authorized to disclose to any persons the U.S. federal and state income tax treatment and tax structure of the potential transaction and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions and other tax analyses) provided to the Company and the Selling Shareholder relating to that treatment and structure, without the International Underwriters' imposing any limitation of any kind. However, any information relating to the tax treatment and tax structure shall remain confidential (and the foregoing sentence shall not apply) to the extent necessary to enable any person to comply with securities laws. For this purpose, "tax structure" is limited to any facts that may be relevant to that treatment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;27. The transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been proposed by the International Underwriters and the International Placement Agents to the Company and the Selling Shareholder for the purposes of paragraph 2 of Article 9 of Brazilian Decree-Law No. 4,657 dated September 4, 1942, as amended, and for no other purpose or reason whatsoever.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In the event that any International Underwriter or International Placement Agent that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such International Underwriter or such International Placement Agent of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In the event that any International Underwriter or International Placement Agent that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such International Underwriter or International Placement Agent becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such International Underwriter or such International Placement Agent are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

In addition, in connection with a Brazilian Placement Agreement, among the Company, the Selling Shareholder and the Brazilian Placement Agents named therein (the "**Brazilian Placement Agents**"), relating to the sale of common shares of the Company (the "**Shares**" and, together with the **Underlying Shares**, the "**Common Shares**") pursuant to the automatic registration procedure, set forth in CVM Resolution No. 160, dated July 13, 2022, as amended in Brazil (together with the International Offering, the "**Global Offering**"), the undersigned understands that the International Placement Agents expect to act as agents to the Brazilian Placement Agents for the facilitation of the placement of Shares outside Brazil. The ADSs and the Common Shares are collectively referred to as the "**Securities**." Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Underwriting Agreement.

ANNEX I(b)-1

In consideration for the International Placement Agents' agreement to facilitate the placement of the Shares and the International Underwriters' agreement to purchase and conduct the International Offering of the Shares, in the form of ADSs, and for other good and valuable consideration receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, without the prior written consent of Banco BTG Pactual S.A. – Cayman Branch ("**BTG Pactual**"), on behalf of the International Underwriters and the International Placement Agents, the undersigned hereby agrees that during the period specified in the following paragraph (the "**Lock-Up Period**"), the undersigned will not, and will not cause any direct or indirect affiliate to, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Securities, common shares, preferred shares or ADSs of the Company or any other similar securities of the Company or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any ADSs, common shares, preferred shares or such other similar securities of the Company, including, but not limited to, any options or warrants to purchase such securities (the "**Locked-up Securities**"), or enter into a transaction which would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Locked-up Securities, whether any such aforementioned transaction is to be settled by delivery of Locked-up Securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement. In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of BTG Pactual, it will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Locked-up Securities.

The Lock-Up Period will commence on the date of this Lock-Up Agreement and continue and include the date 90 days after the public offering date set forth on the Pricing Disclosure Package used to sell the Securities (the "**Public Offering Date**") pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, to which you are parties.
