ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND OF FILING PERSON.

Item 2 of the Schedule 14D-9 is hereby supplemented as follows:

Tender Offer and Transaction

At 5:00 p.m. New York City time (7:00 p.m. São Paulo time) on November 30, 2022, the initial offering period for the U.S. Offer expired as scheduled. As of the Expiration Time, according to information provided by The Bank of New York Mellon, as Tender Agent in the U.S. Offer, a total of 17,356,240 ADSs, representing in the aggregate approximately 10.98% of the Company’s outstanding ADSs and approximately 93.30% of the ADSs not held by Purchaser, any directors or officers of the Company, or any affiliates of Purchaser were validly tendered into and not validly withdrawn from the U.S. Offer. According to information provided by the Tender Agent, as of the Expiration Time, the ADSs tendered in the U.S. Offer represent in the aggregate, on a per Share basis, approximately 3.72% of the Company’s outstanding share capital and approximately 36.94% of the Shares not held by Purchaser, any directors or officers of the Company, or any affiliates of Purchaser. No Shares or Units were tendered in the U.S. Offer. In addition, at 1:00 p.m. New York City time (3:00 p.m. São Paulo time) on December 1, 2022, the Auction was held on the B3 as part of the concurrent Brazilian Offer. At the Auction, according to information provided by the B3, a total of 1,071,982 Common Shares, 2,754,680 Preferred Shares and 10,105,105 Units, representing in the aggregate, on a per Share basis, approximately 1.29% of the Company’s outstanding share capital and approximately 12.79% of the Shares not held by Purchaser, any directors or officers of the Company, or any affiliates of Purchaser, were validly tendered into and not validly withdrawn from the Brazilian Offer. As a result, according to information provided by the Tender Agent and the B3, a total of 1,071,982 Common Shares, 2,754,680 Preferred Shares, 10,105,105 Units and 17,356,240 ADSs representing in the aggregate, on a per Share basis, approximately 5.01% of the Company’s outstanding share capital and approximately 49.73% of the Shares not held by Purchaser, any directors or officers of the Company, or any affiliates of Purchaser, were validly tendered into and not validly withdrawn from the Offers.

Approximately 66.96% of the total number of Unaffiliated Securities, on a per Share basis, held by Consenting Shareholders and Dissenting Shareholders were validly tendered into and not validly withdrawn from in the Offers or the holders of such Securities expressed their agreement with the deregistration of the Company as a publicly-held company in Brazil with the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários) (“CVM”). As a result, all conditions to the U.S. Offer having been satisfied, Purchaser accepted for payment, and expects to pay for, all Securities validly tendered into and not validly withdrawn from pursuant to the U.S. Offer in the initial offering period. Purchaser’s shareholding in the Company will increase to 1,771,207,189 Shares representing approximately 94.88% of the Company’s outstanding share capital.

In accordance with the terms of the U.S. Offer, Purchaser expects to pay for the Securities tendered and accepted for payment as part of the U.S. Offer on December 5, 2022. The price per Security in Brazilian reais will be converted to U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate reported by the Brazilian Central Bank (Banco Central do Brasil) on December 2, 2022, the business day prior to the settlement date of the U.S. Offer.

Subsequent Offering Periods

Following the conclusion of the Offers, Consenting Shareholders tendered or held Securities that amounted, collectively, to approximately 66.96% of the total number of outstanding Securities collectively held by the Consenting Shareholders and Dissenting Shareholders (on a per Share basis). As a result, as described in “The U.S. Offer—Item 1. Terms of the U.S. Offer—Subsequent U.S. Offering Period” in the U.S. Offer to Purchase, and as required under Brazilian law and in compliance with the procedures provided for under CVM Resolution No. 85/2022, Purchaser is commencing a subsequent offering period for the U.S. Offer, pursuant to Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act (the “U.S. Subsequent Offering Period”) which will expire at 5:00 p.m. New York City time (7:00 p.m. São Paulo time) on March 2, 2023. Purchaser will also commence a concurrent separate subsequent offering period on equivalent terms in Brazil (the “Brazilian Subsequent Offering Period”).

The U.S. Subsequent Offering Period relates only to the U.S. Offer and is available only to holders of Shares and Units that are residents of, or located in, the United States, and to all holders of ADSs, wherever located.

During the U.S. Subsequent Offering Period, all holders of Securities eligible to be tendered in the U.S. Offer that were not acquired during the initial offering period of the U.S. Offer will have a right to tender such Securities to Purchaser until 5:00 p.m. New York City time (7:00 p.m. São Paulo time) on March 2, 2023, for the same cash consideration per Security (in Brazilian reais, but payable in U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate reported by the Brazilian Central Bank (Banco Central do Brasil) on the business day prior to the applicable settlement date) that they would have received during the initial offering period in respect of their Securities, as adjusted by the SELIC rate, the Brazilian base interest rate, until the date of effective payment. Purchaser expects to pay for all validly tendered and not validly withdrawn Securities during the U.S. Subsequent Offering Period in up to 15 calendar days from the date on which the relevant Securities are tendered.

The U.S. Subsequent Offering Period will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 2, 2023, unless extended. Securities tendered into the U.S. Offer during the U.S. Subsequent Offering Period may be withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on the date of the tender of such Securities. In addition, no Securities validly tendered during the initial offering period of the U.S. Offer may be withdrawn during the U.S. Subsequent Offering Period. Holders of Securities desiring to tender Securities during the U.S. Subsequent Offering Period should use the same documents that they used or would have used to tender their Securities in the initial offering period of the U.S. Offer.

The Brazilian Subsequent Offering Period will expire at 7:00 p.m. São Paulo time on March 2, 2023. ADSs may not be tendered in the Brazilian Offer. Separate offering documents relating to the Brazilian Subsequent Offering Period are being published in Brazil.

The material fact issued by the Company announcing the results of the Offers and the commencement of the U.S. Subsequent Offering Period and Brazilian Subsequent Offering Period is attached as Exhibit (a)(5)(xii) to the Schedule 14D-9 and is incorporated herein by reference.
