1.1 Main events for the nine-month period ended on September 30, 2025

(a)Other tax claim payments

 

In January 2025, the Company paid USD 18,300 related to an uncertain income tax position of Nexa Resources Peru S.A.A. (“Nexa Peru”) for the year 2018 (for further details see note 8 (c)) and USD 23,992 related to an uncertain income tax position of Nexa Resources Cajamarquilla (“Nexa CJM”) for the year 2017. Both payments were made to obtain substantial penalty and interest reductions and the likelihood of loss for both proceedings is considered possible. Such payments do not represent a recognition of the tax debt, and the Company will continue with its legal defense before the applicable instances. These payments were recognized as “judicial deposits and other tax claim payments” included in the “long-term other assets”. If the Company’s legal defense prevails, it may recover the payments in cash or compensate them with other tax obligations.

A provision may be recorded against the amounts paid if the likelihood of loss of said proceedings becomes probable.

(b)Dividends distribution and share premium reimbursement

 

NEXA

On May 8, 2025, at the annual shareholders' meeting and in accordance with Luxembourg laws, the Company's shareholders approved a cash distribution to shareholders of USD 13,400 as a share premium reimbursement. The cash distribution was paid on June 27, 2025, to shareholders of record as of June 10, 2025.

Nexa Peru

On March 28, 2025, Nexa Peru approved dividends totaling USD 100,000 payable in two equal installments of USD 50,000 each, based on the ownership percentage of each shareholder as of the payment date. Nexa CJM is entitled to receive USD 82,432 for its shares, NEXA USD 179, and the non-controlling interest USD 17,389. The first installment of USD 8,717 was paid on April 30, 2025, and the second of USD 8,103 was paid on September 30, 2025.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, Nexa Peru also paid USD 329 related to previous periods in dividends to non-controlling interests.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, total dividends approved amounted to USD 24,573 (BRL 137,211), with USD 5,054 (BRL 28,136) allocated to Nexa BR and USD 19,519 (BRL 108,984) to non-controlling interests. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had paid USD 11,624 (BRL 64,237). An additional USD 6,816 (BRL 37,125) is scheduled for payment by October 31, 2025. The remaining dividends approved for 2025 are expected to be paid between December 2025 and January 31, 2026, subject to cash availability.

Enercan

On April 30, 2025, Enercan’s Board of Directors approved an additional dividend distribution to its shareholders related to the 2024 fiscal year, entitling the Company’s subsidiary Pollarix to receive USD 18,107 (BRL 102,653). During 2025, Pollarix received in cash a total amount of USD 16,160 (BRL 89,773), including USD 10,099 (BRL 56,108) related to the June distribution and USD 6,061 (BRL 33,665) related to August, from the outstanding dividend amount.

(c)Capital increase and effects of transactions with non-controlling interest in the subsidiary Nexa Atacocha

In connection with a capital increase approved in November 2024, Nexa Resources El Porvenir S.A.C. (“Nexa El Porvenir”) and non-controlling shareholders completed the subscription of new shares in Nexa Resources Atacocha S.A.A. (“Nexa Atacocha”) between December 2024 and January 2025.

On January 15, 2025, Nexa El Porvenir paid USD 3,453 and non-controlling shareholders paid USD 1,864 for the subscription of newly issued shares of Nexa Atacocha. Since Nexa El Porvenir subscribed to its portion of the capital increase in December 2024, while non-controlling shareholders completed their subscription in January 2025, its ownership interest in Nexa Atacocha decreased from 86.65% as of December 31, 2024, to 82.11%. Nexa El Porvenir recognized a gain of USD 1,005 from the dilution of its ownership interest, due to Atacocha’ s negative equity, which was recorded in equity attributable to Nexa’s controlling interest, while a loss of USD 1,016 was allocated to the non-controlling shareholders.

(d)Acquisition of new subsidiary in Peru

In January 2025, the subsidiary Nexa Peru acquired 100% of the equity interest in a new subsidiary, Votorantim CSC S.A.C., a provider of shared administrative, tax, and accounting services, from its majority shareholder Votorantim S.A. The acquisition included a net asset value of USD 949, with a purchase price of USD 924, resulting in a gain of USD 25 recognized in profit or loss. The transaction had a net cash effect of positive USD 997, calculated as the difference between the cash and cash equivalents of the acquired subsidiary and the amount paid at the acquisition date.

(e)Impact of new United States tariff decisions

On April 2, 2025, the US President issued an Executive Order imposing a 10% tariff on imports from most countries and up to 50% on selected nations, under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). While these measures may increase global trade volatility and affect market prices, no tariffs had been applied to zinc or copper as of September 30, 2025. The US President launched an investigation into potential tariffs on critical minerals, including zinc and copper, however the US remains heavily dependent on refined zinc imports (77% of consumption), which reduces the likelihood of significant duties on this metal.

On July 9, 2025, a 50% tariff was announced on Brazilian exports to the US, which became effective on August 1, 2025. This measure does not directly affect the Company, as it exports zinc or copper primarily from Peru, which maintained the previously established 10% base tariff and continues to exempt these minerals from additional duties due to their classification as critical minerals.

During the nine-month period ended on September 30, 2025, and up to the issuance date of these financial statements, the Company has not identified any material impact related to US trade measures or potential import tariffs on zinc or copper, both of which remain under review by the US government. The main observed impact continues to be exchange rate volatility, influenced by US policy announcements and ongoing geopolitical tensions.

(f)New loans and financings operations

On April 8, 2025, the Company completed a bond offering amounting to USD 500,000 with a term of 12 years, at an interest rate of 6.60% per year. The proceeds were used to repurchase all the outstanding 2027 and part of the 2028 notes through a combination of a tender offer and a make-whole call, which occurred in April 2025 and May 2025, respectively.

On May 13, 2025, the Company entered into an Export Prepayment Loan (“ACC”) for a principal amount of USD 40,000, at an annual cost of 5.35%. The loan matures in 6 months and is repayable in a single installment upon submission of the supporting documentation.

Further information regarding these operations is disclosed in note 15.

(g)    Voluntary Tender Offer for Nexa Atacocha Shares

On July 17, 2025, Nexa El Porvenir, which owned 82.11% of Nexa Atacocha, launched a Voluntary Public Tender Offer (OPA) through the Lima Stock Exchange (BVL), under the supervision of the Peruvian Securities Market Authority (SMV), to acquire up to the remaining 17.89% of Atacocha’s shares held by non-controlling interests. The tender offer remained open until September 3, 2025.

Following the completion of Tender Offer, 0.89% of the shares were acquired for USD 502, resulting in an increase in Nexa El Porvenir’s controlling ownership interest in Nexa Atacocha from 82.11% to 83.00%.

As a result, the non-controlling interest decreased from 17.89% to 17.00. Consequently, a total reduction of USD 502 was recorded in equity, of which USD 492 was recognized in retained earnings attributable to the controlling interest and USD 10 to the non-controlling interest.

2Information by business segment

Segment performance is assessed based on Adjusted EBITDA, since net financial results, comprising financial income and expenses and other financial items, and income tax are managed at the corporate level and are not allocated to operating segments.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as follows: net income (loss) for the year/period, adjusted by (i) share in the results of associates, depreciation and amortization, net financial results and income tax; (ii) addition of cash dividends received from associates; (iii) non-cash events and non-cash gains or losses that do not specifically reflect its operational performance for the specific period, such as gain (loss) on sale of investments; impairment and impairment reversals; gain (loss) on sale of long-lived assets; write-offs of long-lived assets; remeasurement in estimates of asset retirement obligations; and other restoration obligations; and (iv) pre-operating and ramp-up expenses incurred during the commissioning and ramp-up phases of greenfield projects.

In addition, management may adjust the effect of certain types of transactions that in its judgments are (i) events that are non-recurring, unusual or infrequent, and (ii) other specific events that, by their nature and scope, do not reflect NEXA’s operational performance for the year/period.

The adjusted EBITDA is derived from internal information prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS Accounting Standards”) and based on accounting measurements and management reclassifications between income statement lines items, which are reconciled to the consolidated financial statements in the column “Adjustments”, as shown in the tables below. These adjustments include reclassifications of certain overhead costs and revenues from “Other income and expenses, net” to “Net Revenues, Cost of sales and/or Selling”, “General and administrative expenses”.

The Company uses customary market terms for intersegment sales. The Company’s corporate headquarters expenses are allocated to the operating segments to the extent they are included in the measures of performance used by the Chief operating decision maker (CODM).

The presentation of segment results and reconciliation to income before income tax in the consolidated income statement is as follows:

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of, and using the accounting policies, methods of computation and presentation consistent with those applied and disclosed in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended on December 31, 2024.

The Company has not early adopted any new standards, interpretations or amendments that have been issued but are not yet effective.

The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses for the end period. Such estimates and assumptions mainly affect the carrying amounts of the Company’s goodwill, contractual obligations, non-current assets, indefinite-lived intangible assets, inventory, deferred income taxes, and the allowance for doubtful accounts. These critical accounting estimates and assumptions represent approximations that are uncertain and changes in those estimates and assumptions could materially impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

The critical judgments, estimates and assumptions in the application of accounting principles during the three and nine-month period ended on September 30, 2025, are the same as those disclosed in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended on December 31, 2024.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and nine-month periods ended on September 30, 2025, were approved on October 30, 2025, to be issued in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors.

(i) Gross billing increased in the three-month period ended on September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024 mainly due to higher metal prices and increased sales volume. The increase in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, was mainly due to higher zinc and copper metal prices, offset by lower sales volume mainly in mining segment.

Additionally, in September 2025, Nexa recognized a reduction of USD 24,637 (September 30, 2024: USD 21,084) as an annual remeasurement adjustment to its silver stream revenue previously recognized, considering the higher long-term prices and the updated mining plan for its Cerro Lindo Mining Unit. According to the Company’s silver streaming accounting policy, prices fluctuations and changes in the life of mine (“LOM) resulting from updates to mining plans are variable considerations. Therefore, revenue recognized under the streaming agreement should be adjusted to reflect these updated variables.

(i) In the nine-month period ended on September 30, 2025, the Company recognized USD 2,888 in cost of sales related to idle capacity in Juiz de Fora, resulting from the temporary shutdown of the emissions control system, and USD 1,403 in El Porvenir S.A.C. due to a temporary reduction in mining capacity caused by restricted access to ore zones. Additionally, as of September 30, 2024, Nexa had recognized idle capacity costs totaling USD 34,591(including USD 9,092 in depreciation) and USD 3,661 in El Porvenir.

(ii) The increase in raw materials and consumables for the three-and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025, was mainly driven by higher zinc and copper concentrate prices purchased from third parties for use in the Company’s smelting operations. This impact was partially offset by lower sales volumes when compared with the same period in 2024.

These transactions were affected by the volatility of the Brazilian Real (“BRL”), which strengthened against the USD in 2025, after depreciating in 2024.

(i) On December 11, 2024, the Luxembourg Parliament approved a reduction in the aggregate corporate income tax rate from 24.94% to 23.87%, effective January 1, 2025. As NEXA’s standalone net operating losses do not meet the recognition criteria, no deferred tax assets were recognized. Therefore, the tax rate reduction has no impact on the consolidated interim income statement.

(c)Summary of uncertain tax position on income tax

As of September 30, 2025, the main legal proceedings are related to: (i) the interpretation of the application of the Cerro Lindo's tax stability agreement; (ii) transfer pricing litigation involving related party transactions; and (iii) the deductibility of certain costs and expenses.

The estimated contingent liabilities as of September 30, 2025, totaled USD 374,314, representing a decrease from the USD 430,567 reported as of December 31, 2024, primarily due to final resolutions issued by the Tax Court during the third quarter of 2025 regarding the 2014 and 2015 tax stability and other expenses discussions related to Cerro Lindo.

In these rulings, the Tax Court upheld SUNAT’s restrictive interpretation that the tax stabilization agreement and the reduction in the income tax rate had only been applied if Nexa had income generated from the production of up to 5,000 tons per day. As the Company’s production capacity had expanded over time, SUNAT interpreted that the tax stability agreement did not apply entirely to any production of the years 2014 and 2015. The Company will continue to litigate through the Peruvian Judiciary levels and, according to local regulations, in order to appeal, the Company is required to pay the full disputed amount once the debt becomes enforceable, currently expected in the first quarter of 2026. The full amount of the 2014 and 2015 years proceedings may be paid in up to 72 monthly installments with accrued interest.

The Tax Court has not yet issued final resolutions for the proceedings related to years 2016 and 2017. As previously disclosed, in the fourth quarter of 2024, SUNAT completed its audit of the 2018 tax period, recognizing that part of the income was stabilized. In January 2025, NEXA paid USD 18,300 to obtain a 60% reduction in penalties and interests. However, these payments do not constitute an acknowledgment of liability, and the Company will continue its legal defense though the applicable instances.

SUNAT is currently auditing the 2019 tax year, while audits for 2020 and 2021 audits remain pending. The tax stability agreement expired in 2021.

(d)Pillar 2 – analysis on estimated effects

NEXA is within the scope of the OECD Pillar Two model rules, which establish a new global minimum tax framework of 15% minimum tax. Pillar Two legislation was enacted in Luxembourg and in Brazil and is already in effect for financial year beginning January 1, 2024, and January 1, 2025, respectively. However, no such legislation has been enacted in Peru.

The Company performed an assessment of the group’s potential exposure to Pillar Two income taxes, by running initial testing under the OECD transitional safe harbor rules based on the most recent information available on tax filings, country-by-country reporting and financial statements for the constituent entities in the group. Based on the assessment performed, the jurisdictions where the Company operate qualify for at least one of the transitional safe harbor rules and management is not currently aware of any circumstances under which this might change. Therefore, the Company does not expect potential exposure to Pillar Two top-up tax

(i) On March 28, 2025, NEXA executed a cross-currency swap with a notional amount of USD 112,652 (BRL 650,000 at the transaction date) to hedge the BRL exposure related to Nexa BR debentures issued on April 2, 2024, in the same BRL amount. The swap mirrors the interest and principal payment terms of the debentures, which mature on March 28, 2030, with semi-annual payments. Under the agreement, NEXA pays 6.209% on the USD notional receives CDI + 1.50% p.a. floating on the BRL notional. This instrument is recognized at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) under net financial results. Since inception, the Company has recorded increased impacts from changes in BRL exposure on related assets and liabilities, compared to December 2024, as presented in Table A above.

(i) Since June 2023, the Company is delivering copper concentrates under an offtake agreement with an offtaker signed in January 2022 (amended in July 2023) to sell 100% of the copper concentrate produced by Aripuanã for 5 years or until NEXA fulfills the delivery of the specified agreed volume. The Company estimates that the full committed copper volumes will be delivered until the end of 2028. The transaction price agreed with the offtaker is below current market prices due to a price cap established in this agreement.

(ii) During 2025, copper prices exceeded the price cap, leading to a reduction in the financial instrument liability associated with these sales transactions. Revenue was recognized based on the fair value of the instruments. However, in the same way, this reduction was offset by an increase in the estimate of fair value for future deliveries, due to a higher forward copper price in the long term.

(i) Semi-finished products increased during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, compared to 2024, mainly due to higher volumes of zinc cathodes and manganese dioxide products in Brazil, and an additional increase in Cajamarquilla driven by higher calcine stock.

(ii) Raw materials rose in the same period, primarily due to higher volumes of zinc concentrates in transit to Brazil, intended to supply the Company's smelting segment.

(iii) Auxiliary materials and consumables increased, mainly due to higher inventories of maintenance and operating materials in Brazil and Peru, driven by scheduled maintenance activities, advance purchases of imported consumables, and higher prices of strategic materials.

(iv) Inventory provisions increased compared to 2024, mainly due to obsolescence provisions for maintenance materials in Brazil.

(b)Loans and financing transactions during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025

On April 8, 2025, the Company completed a bond offering of USD 500,000 for a term of 12 years at an interest rate of 6.60% per year. The proceeds were used to fully repurchase the 2027 Senior Notes and partially repurchase the 2028 Senior Notes through a combination of a tender offer and a make-whole call, executed on April 8 and May 23, 2025, respectively. The Company repurchased USD 215,496 (100%) of the 2027 Notes and USD 289,483 (72.3%) of the 2028 Notes.

The total disbursement for these transactions amounted to USD 527,911, comprising USD 504,979 of principal, USD 6,977 in accrued interest, USD 15,046 in premium, USD 909 in agent fees and other related costs, and USD 1,905 in loss on bond repurchase related to the write-down of debt issuance costs, resulting in a total loss of USD 17,860 recognized in profit or loss for the period. The redemption price was determined based on the greater of par value or the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the US Treasury rate plus 50 basis points, plus accrued interest. Following the transactions, the remaining outstanding principal of the 2028 Notes was USD 111,018.

On May 13, 2025, to strengthen its short-term liquidity position, the Company entered an ACC with a top-tier financial institution for a principal amount of USD 40,000 (BRL 223,700), at an annual interest rate of 5.35%. The loan has a six-month maturity and will be settled in a single installment upon submission of export documentation as defined in the debt agreement.

The Company has certain loans and financings that are subject to specific financial covenants at a consolidated level, including: (i) leverage ratio; (ii) capitalization ratio; and (iii) debt service coverage ratio. When applicable, these compliance requirements are standardized across all debt agreements.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company was not in compliance with one of the financial covenants under its BNDES loan agreements, specifically the capitalization ratio, which is measured annually as Equity/Total Assets, and must be equal to or greater than 0.3. As a remediation action, the Company obtained bank guarantees for the total outstanding balances prior to year end. The non-compliance was primarily due to accumulated losses over the last three years, impairment losses, one-off events, and the negative impacts of the prolonged ramp-up phase of Aripuanã.

On February 19, 2025, the Company obtained a formal waiver for the covenant measurement. This waiver enabled the substitution and cancellation of the bank guarantees. As a result, the covenant testing and any associated early repayment rights were waived with respect to the 2024 financial statements, and will remain waived until the next measurement, which will occur in 2026 based on the financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

As of September 30, 2025, the Equity/Total Assets financial covenant remained below the threshold. Management is aware of this condition and confirms that it does not constitute a breach, as no contractual requirement exists for a quarterly covenant measurement that could trigger an event of default. Accordingly, the loan remains classified as a non-current liability in these consolidated interim financial statements as of September 30, 2025, in accordance with the deferral term rights of the contract.

The Company remains committed to implementing measures to ensure compliance with all financial covenants going forward. These measures include a review of the capital structure, initiatives to enhance operational performance, and efforts to reduce risk exposure. Except for the BNDES-related discussion above, there were no material changes to contractual guarantees during the period ending on September 30, 2025.

(i) As of September 30, 2025, the credit risk-adjusted rate used for Peru ranged between 9.43% and 10.88% (December 31, 2024: 3.39% and 12.29%) and for Brazil between 7.68% and 11.10% (December 31, 2024: 4.02% and 8.51%). As of September 30, 2024, the credit risk-adjusted rate used for Peru ranged between 7.42% and 10.57% (December 31, 2023: 10.86% and 12.52%) and for Brazil was between 6.45% and 7.83% (December 31, 2023: 6.94% and 11.11%).

(ii) The changes observed in the period ended September 30, 2025, were mainly due to the revised disbursement timelines related to decommissioning obligations in certain operations, based on updated asset retirement and environmental obligations studies, along with higher discount rates, as described above. As a result, asset retirement obligations for operational assets increased by USD 2,573 (September 30, 2024: decrease of USD 1,638), as shown in note 12. Additionally, expenses for asset retirement and environmental obligations for non-operational assets totaled USD 9,052 (September 30, 2024: loss of USD 23,840) as detailed in note 6.

17Impairment of long-lived assets

Impairment test analysis

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there were indicators that the carrying amount of an asset, goodwill, or cash generation unit (CGU) might not be recoverable, or if a previously recorded impairment should be reversed.

Goodwill assessment

As of September 30, 2025, Nexa conducted its annual impairment test for the CGUs to which goodwill has been previously allocated including Mining Peru group of CGUs (composed of Cerro Pasco and Cerro Lindo CGUs), Cajamarquilla and Juiz de Fora in accordance with the assumptions and projections outlined in the Company’s strategic planning process. As a result, no impairment was identified.

Cerro Pasco CGU

The Company identified indicators of reversal, primarily driven by the increase of short-term and long-term metal prices. As a result, an impairment reversal of USD 108,005 was recognized at the CGU Cerro Pasco against the income statement.

Impairment test summary

In summary, for the nine-month period ended September 30, Nexa recognized the following impairment loss/reversal:

Impairment (losses) reversals 2025 2024
Magistral Project - (58,435)
Cerro Pasco CGU 108,005 22,206
Morro Agudo - 10,291
Pukaqaqa Project - 3,978
Others individual assets (3,789) (3,439)
Total 104,216 (25,399)

 

(a)Key assumptions used in impairment test

The recoverable amounts for each CGU were determined using the FVLCD method, which resulted in values higher than those determined using the VIU method. 

The Company identified long-term metal prices, discount rates, the exchange rate considering Brazilian real (BRL), and LOM as key assumptions in determining the recoverable amounts, due to the material impact such assumptions may have on the recoverable value. The main assumptions are summarized below:

  2025 2024
Long-term zinc price (USD/t) 3,120 2,930
Discount rate (Peru) 7.08% 7.08%
Discount rate (Brazil) 7.63% 7.64%
Exchange rate (BRL x USD) 5.43 5.66
Brownfield projects - LOM (Years) From 3 to 25 From 3 to 25

(b)Impairment reversal – Cerro Pasco CGU

As mentioned above, the impairment reversal was identified at the CGU level, not being directly related to a single asset. Then, the impairment reversal was allocated on a pro-rata basis to the following assets:

   Carrying amount prior to impairment reversal Impairment reversal Carrying amount after impairment reversal
Property, plant and equipment  292,466  17,448  309,914
Intangible assets  155,528  90,558  246,086
Other net liabilities  (53,772)  (53,772)
   394,222  108,005  502,228

 

The Company performed a stress test on the key assumptions used in the calculation of the recoverable amount of the CGU Cerro Pasco as follows:

 

Scenario Impairment
Reversal
Excess over recoverable amount Current
Long-term zinc price (USD/t)
Current
Discount rate (Peru)
Base case 108,005 33,502 3,120 7.08%

(c)Sensitivity analysis – Tested CGUs and Goodwill

The Company estimated the amount by which the value assigned to the key assumptions must change for the assessed CGU recoverable amount, which was not impaired, to be equal to its carrying amount:

CGU Excess over
recoverable amount
Decrease in Long term Zinc (USD/t) Increase in WACC Appreciation of BRL over USD

18Long-term commitments
(a)Projects evaluation

On February 8, 2024, the Peruvian Government approved an extension of the deadline for fulfilling the Accreditable Investment Commitment under the Magistral Transfer Contract, extending it from September 2025 to August 2028. As of December 31, 2024, the unexecuted amount under this commitment totaled USD 323,000.

In December 2021, the Group submitted a request for the Modification of the Environmental Impact Assessment (MEIA) for the Magistral Project to the National Environmental Certification Agency (SENACE), through the applicable legal process. During the review process, the Peruvian Water Authority (ANA) and the Protected Natural Areas Service - (SERNANP) issued unfavorable observations. On May 24, 2024, SENACE formally rejected the MEIA.

On April 30, 2025, the Peruvian Government formally acknowledged the rejection of the MEIA as a force majeure event, leading to the suspension of the obligation to fulfill the investment commitment. As stipulated in the Magistral Transfer Contract, NEXA and the Government must now engage in direct negotiations to assess the impact of this majeure force event on the project’s execution. As of the date of this report, the deadline to fulfill the Accreditable Investment Commitment remains suspended, as does the potential application of the related penalty in the amount of USD 97,029.

(b)Environmental Guarantee for Dams

As of September 30, 2025, there have been no changes to the regulatory framework related to the environmental guarantee requirements established under Decree 48,747/2023 and its amendments. NEXA submitted its guarantee proposal in September 2024 and provided a guarantee for BRL 60,728 (approximately USD 11,128), representing 50% of the required amount by December 31, 2024. A new Decree, published on December 31, 2024, established that the timeline for the remaining installments will begin only after the approval of the proposal by the environmental agency. NEXA is still awaiting this approval before proceeding with the remaining obligations.

19Events after the reporting period
