Jose Roberto Mauro has had an impressive career with the Company, which he joined in 1983 as an Industrial Engineer. In the next 32

fully committed to the organization’s values and his work is underpinned by a long-term vision focused on the culture and development of
the business. We are absolutely confident in this transition and that it will result in an increasingly improved Company performance.
We will be announcing the new organizational structure shortly. For the time being, Mr. Seigneur d´Albuquerque will accumulate the
positions of CEO, CFO and IRO.
We would like wish Mr. Mauro every success with his new challenges and Mr. Seigneur d´Albuquerque the best of luck in his new
