Ref.: Official Letter B3 258/2026-SLE dated August 24th 2026 (“Official Letter”)
Banco Bradesco S.A. (“Bradesco” or “Bank”) hereby sets forth its clarifications regarding the Official Letter referred to above, transcribed at follows:
“An article published by the newspaper O Globo on August 24, 2026, entitled “Who Will Finance the Funds Seeking to Purchase Amil” which states, among other assertions, that:
| • | Bradesco will finance the Advent and Bain Capital funds in the purchase of Amil. It is willing to provide a check for R$ 12 billion. |
We request clarification regarding the item highlighted above, by August 25, 2026, including confirmation or denial thereof, as well as any other information deemed relevant.”
Clarification:
Regarding the subject matter of the Official Letter, Bradesco clarifies that there is no binding document or agreement entered into between the Bank and the parties mentioned with the transaction referred to therein.
Bradesco further understands that, even if it were to participate in a transaction on the terms mentioned in the article, such participation would not give rise to an obligation to disclose a material fact, given that it would be a customary transaction in the ordinary course of its business.
It should be noted that, in significant and high-value merger and acquisitions transactions, it is natural that there may be market discussions regarding financing alternatives, as well as interest from potential acquirers in evaluating financing structures with different financial institutions.
Bradesco remains available to provide any further clarification that may be required.
