**PART I**

**Item 1. Exchange Act Reporting History**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. Gafisa S.A. (the "Company") first incurred the duty to file reports under Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), when its registration statement on Form F-1 was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 15, 2007.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. The Company has filed or submitted all reports required under Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and corresponding SEC rules for the 12 months preceding the filing of this form. The Company has filed at least one annual report under Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act.

**Item 2. Recent United States Market Activity**

The Company's securities were last sold in the United States in a registered offering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") on December 28, 2009 pursuant to a registration statement on Form F-4 (File No. 333-163119). In addition, the latest registration statement on Form F-6 (File No. 333-158314), as amended, filed under the Securities Act was on March 23, 2010.

**Item 3. Foreign Listing and Primary Trading Market**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. The foreign exchange on which the Company has maintained a listing of its common shares is the São Paulo Stock Exchange (B3 SA - *Brasil, Bolsa e Balcão* ("B3")) and such exchange constitutes the primary trading market for the Company's common shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. The Company's common shares have been listed on the B3 (formerly *BM&FBOVESPA S.A.—Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros*) since February 2006. The Company has maintained the listing of its common shares on the B3 for at least the 12 months preceding the filing of this Form 15F.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. The percentage of trading of the Company's common shares (including those represented by ADSs) that occurred in the Federative Republic of Brazil during the 12-month period starting on March 2, 2022 and ending on March 1, 2023 was 99.9%.

**Item 4. Comparative Trading Volume Data**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. The 12-month period used for calculations under Rule 12h-6(a)(4)(i) was from March 2, 2022 through March 1, 2023 (both dates inclusive).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. The average daily trading volume ("ADTV") of the Company's common shares in the United States (both on-exchange and off-exchange) was 598 common shares for the same 12-month period. The ADTV of the Company's common shares worldwide was 2,186,328 common shares for the same 12-month period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. The ADTV of the Company's common shares in the United States was 0.027% of the ADTV of the Company's common shares on a worldwide basis for the same 12-month period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D. The Company delisted its ADSs from the NYSE effective as of the end of the trading day on December 17, 2018. As of December 17, 2018, the ADTV of the Company's common shares in the United States (including off-exchange and on exchange transactions) as a percentage of the ADTV for the Company's common shares on a worldwide basis for the preceding 12-month period was 5.51%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E. The Company has not terminated a sponsored American Depositary Receipt facility regarding its common shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;F. The Company used Bloomberg L.P. as the source for determining whether it meets the ADTV requirements of Rule 12h-6.

**Item 11. Undertakings**

The undersigned issuer hereby undertakes to withdraw this Form 15F if, at any time before the effectiveness of its termination of reporting under Rule 12h-6, it has actual knowledge of information that causes it reasonably to believe that, at the time of filing the Form 15F:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) The ADTV of its subject class of securities in the United States exceeded 5 percent of the ADTV of that class of securities on a worldwide basis for the same recent 12-month period that the issuer used for purposes of Rule 12h-6(a)(4)(i);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Its subject class of securities was held of record by 300 or more United States residents or 300 or more persons worldwide, if proceeding under Rule 12h-6(a)(4)(ii) or Rule 12h-6(c); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) It otherwise did not qualify for termination of its Exchange Act reporting obligations under Rule 12h-6.

**Signature**

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Gafisa S.A. has duly authorized the undersigned person to sign on its behalf this certification on Form 15F. In so doing, Gafisa S.A. certifies that, as represented on this Form, it has complied with all of the conditions set forth in Rule 12h-6 for terminating its registration under section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, or its duty to file reports under Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or both.
